90 "THIS MEANS EVERLASTING LIFE"<br />

Friday afternoon, April 1, A.D. 33. Jesus and<br />

his apostles celebrated the passover the preceding<br />

night, March 31 . Since Jesus was thirty years old<br />

when he was anointed at the close of the sixtyninth<br />

week, he added three and a half years to<br />

his earthly life by the middle of the seventieth .<br />

So, since he was thirty-three and a half years old<br />

when he died, he must have been born the night<br />

of about October 1, B.C. 2 .<br />

14 By Jesus' own sacrifice he fulfilled the type<br />

of the Jewish sacrifices . Fifty-three days later, at<br />

Pentecost of A .D. 33, he offered up the antitypical<br />

oblation or offering to God by anointing his faithful<br />

disciples on earth with the holy spirit . Though<br />

Jewish priests kept offering sacrifices and oblations<br />

at Herod's temple in Jerusalem till A .D . 70<br />

saw it destroyed, Jesus caused such sacrifice and<br />

oblation to cease or desist from having typical<br />

value or any divine recognition. God now accepted<br />

only the realities of true value .<br />

1,3 The middle or midst of the seventieth week<br />

was marked by cutting off Messiah in sacrificial<br />

martyrdom . The end of that week in the fall of<br />

A.D. 36 must likewise be marked . All through<br />

that week the Abrahamic covenant of blessing<br />

continued confirmed to the "many" of the Jewish<br />

remnant who accepted Jesus as "Messiah the<br />

Prince" . The anointing of the holy of holies, God's<br />

sanctuary class, continued during that final week<br />

April 3, A .D . 33, Julian Calendar.<br />

15 . How was the end of that week marked? And to<br />

confirm what?
