On the occasion of the coronation of Charles III scheduled for this Saturday, May 6, 2023, Pope Francis presented the king with two fragments of wood that are said to have been taken from the cross on which Jesus was crucified. However, what makes this event particularly intriguing is the coincidence that this date aligns with the 14th day of the first biblical month, the 14th of Nisan, which is the date of the biblical Passover, if we follow the rules of the Ancient Jewish calendar from the first century, which is different from the current Jewish calendar. In this article, we will delve into the historical and religious significance of this alignment, exploring the biblical calendar, the crucifixion of Jesus, and the potential implications of this convergence.

The Biblical Passover and the Last Supper

According to the ancient Jewish calendar from the first century, the Passover, or the Last Supper, was celebrated on the 14th day of the month of Nisan. This date holds immense importance as it marks the crucifixion of Jesus and the establishment of the New Covenant. Notably, this tradition was altered during the Council of Nicaea, leading to a shift in the date of the Passover. Consequently, both the transfer of the Sabbath to Sunday and the modification of the Passover date took place. This event is a reminder that God’s law and times created for the worship of the Creator have been changed. The prophet Daniel had announced this centuries earlier in the book of Daniel 7:25. Jesus, the savior of the world, had indicated that he had not come to abolish his law. This should make us think about what is at stake when it comes to the true worship of God (in spirit and in truth) in harmony with his ordinances and commandments.

Coincidence or Divine Significance?

The synchronicity between the coronation of Charles III and the date of the Passover according to the ancient biblical calendar raises thought-provoking questions. Given that Jesus was also crowned King of the Jews on the 14th day of Nisan during the Passover, one cannot ignore the potential significance of this convergence.

It is crucial to acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the Passover, documented as the 14th day of the month of Nisan in the year 31, remains relatively unknown to the general public. This date corresponded to Friday, April 27, 31, according to the Julian calendar. Furthermore, it is important to know that the date of the Passover varies each year based on the lunar-solar cycle that governs the biblical calendar.

Implications and Reflections

The alignment of the coronation and the ancient biblical calendar invites us to reflect on the potential significance of this convergence. While some may dismiss it as mere coincidence, others may interpret it as a hint towards biblical prophecies and future events.

For Bible students and those interested in exploring Bible prophecies concerning Jesus Christ, this convergence serves as a catalyst for further contemplation. It prompts us to consider the intricate connections between historical events and religious traditions, fostering a deeper understanding of our spiritual heritage.

Conclusion

The coronation of Charles III on May 6, 2023, coinciding with the 14th day of the first biblical month, the Passover, invites us to reflect on the potential significance of this convergence. As we explore the historical and religious context surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus and the biblical calendar, we uncover a rich tapestry of events that shape our understanding of faith and prophecy.

Whether one views this alignment as a coincidence or a divine sign, it undeniably sparks curiosity and contemplation. It serves as a reminder that delving into biblical prophecies and understanding our spiritual heritage can deepen our connection to the past and present.
