The Truth about Easter and when Jesus really rose...

Jesus rose from the dead on the Sabbath around 3pm, not on Sunday. His tomb was found empty early on Sunday before the sun even rose, while it was still dark (John 20:1) which would be Saturday night in modern terms as near sunrise would not be early, it would be half way through Sunday. Scripture tells us that He died around 3pm (Mark 15:34), and given that He was dead three full 24 hour days (Matthew 12:40) that means He had to have risen around the same time or he would have been dead longer than three days and three nights, it would have been three days and four nights which is not what Scripture says. Scripture also states that He rose on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:4), so it had to have been Saturday as Sunday would have been the forth day. So then, if His tomb was empty already while it was still dark on Sunday, long before sunrise, but early and thus, just after sunset Saturday, that means He rose on Saturday, the real Sabbath shortly after 3pm. That also means He didn't die on Friday, but that He died on Wednesday, which was the preparation day before the high-day Sabbath (John 19:31) not the weekly Sabbath. The high-day Sabbath came up on a Thursday that year in 30AD (30AD was the only year that the feast of unleavened bread started on a Thursday, so that had to be the year He died on).

Easter is the name of a Roman goddess of sex and fertility, that's where the symbols like rabbits come from and has nothing at all to do with Jesus. It is a pagan celebration which God says that He hates with all His being (Isaiah 1:14-15, Amos 5:21 & 23).

A more detailed analysis of when Jesus died and was raised according to scriptures. I wanted to show the full scriptures to really nail this down as He did not die on a Friday and He was not risen on a Sunday. Easter itself is the name of a Roman goddess of sex and fertility which is where all the symbols come from. But that's another topic...

Let me take this one verse at a time...

His tomb was found empty WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK... he didn't rise then, he was ALREADY out of it BEFORE the sun even rose. Also note that it was EARLY on the first day, WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK. The days, according to the Bible, start at sunset, so Sunday starts at sunset Saturday. So Early Sunday, while it was still dark would have to be what we would call Saturday night, as Sunday morning wouldn't be early, it would be half way through Sunday. This makes sense as Jesus died sometime around 3pm and was dead for three full days, so he had to have risen after that same time, or betweem 3pm and sunset, so his tomb was empty by sunset and Mary found it that way after dark. She no doubt waited until the Sabbath ended as she wouldn't want to do work (moving the stone) on the Sabbath...

John 20:1 (NIV)
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.

Jesus died around 3pm (9th hour of the day, and the daylight hours start around 6am)...

Mark 15:34 (NIV)
And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).

Jesus remained dead for three days and three nights (not three days and four nights) which means He HAD to have risen around the same hour...

Matthew 12:40 (NIV)
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Scripture also states that He rose on the third day, so it had to have been on Saturday as Sunday would have been the forth day...

1 Corinthians 15:4 (NIV)
that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures

So given the fact that His tomb was empty before sunrise on Sunday, means He had to have risen around 3pm on Saturday before sunset to still be on the third day. And given the fact that he was dead for exactly 3 full days, means He had to have died around 3pm on a Wednesday before a holy day Sabbath, also called a "special Sabbath" or a "high day Sabbath". Not the weekly Sabbath.

John 19:31 (NKJV)
Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

As an interesting side note, this all helps us determine which year Jesus died as only one year had the Passover on a Wednesday, which would have been 30AD.

Race faker Rachel Dolezal now an elementary school teacher, while raking in thousands on OnlyFans

Remember Spokane, Washington resident Rachel Dolezal? Looks like she is up to her old tricks & getting fired for it AGAIN!

Infamous race faker and former NAACP chapter president Rachel Dolezal is reportedly now working as a teacher at an Arizona elementary school — while also potentially raking in thousands of dollars a month as a racy OnlyFans model.

Photos posted online show Dolezal working with children at the Sunrise Drive Elementary School, where she is listed under her new name of Nkechi Diallo as an after-school teacher, according to records obtained by Outkick.

She is reportedly making $19 an hour in her teaching job, while also selling content on OnlyFans for $9.99 a month.

For that price, Dolezal — who became embroiled in scandal in 2015 after being outed as a white woman falsely posing as black — promises content such as an “18-image explicit collection AND a video of self-pleasure to orgasm under the Christmas tree.”

One post on the site in September received 122 likes, equating to $1,220 for that one photo — though the number Dolezal makes from her risque photos and NSFW content could be even higher as the number of subscribers to her page is unknown, according to Outkick.

IN DETENTION: The former NAACP leader, who became infamous in 2015 after her parents said she was lying about being Black, was terminated from her after-school gig after posting explicit content online.

Obviously just another Mentally Ill Liberal

Red sky at night and other weather lore
________________________________________
How many of these weather sayings do you recognise and is there any truth to them?
In this article we look at some of these sayings and whether there is any science to back them up.
Dating back thousands of years, weather forecasting had to rely less on scientific data and more on human experience. The sayings became particularly important in sailing and agriculture, as they looked for reliable forecasts ahead of time.
From this, developed the old weather sayings and phrases we see and hear today.
Red sky at night
The concept of "Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning" first appears in the Bible in the book of Matthew. It is an old weather saying often used at sunrise and sunset to signify the changing sky and was originally known to help the shepherds prepare for the next day's weather.
Despite there being global variations in this saying such as "Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in morning, sailors warning", the scientific understanding behind such occurrences remains the same.
Why does a red sky appear at sunrise and sunset?
The saying is most reliable when weather systems predominantly come from the west as they do in the UK. "Red sky at night, shepherds delight" can often be proven true, since red sky at night means fair weather is generally headed towards you.
A red sky appears when dust and small particles are trapped in the atmosphere by high pressure. This scatters blue light leaving only red light to give the sky its notable appearance.
A red sky at sunset means high pressure is moving in from the west, so therefore the next day will usually be dry and pleasant. "Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning" means a red sky appears due to the high-pressure weather system having already moved east meaning the good weather has passed, most likely making way for a wet and windy low-pressure system.
St Swithun's Day
The saying goes:
St. Swithun’s day, if thou dost rain,
For forty days it will remain;
St. Swithun’s day, if thou be fair,
For forty days 'twill rain no more
This story originated with St. Swithun, the Bishop of Winchester in the Anglo-Saxon era. He initially requested to be buried outside where he said he might be subject 'to the feet of passers-by and to the raindrops pouring from on high.'
On 15 July, more than a century later, his body was moved to an indoor shrine and so began the heavy shower. This was said to be a result of the saint's anger at being moved.
The rain continued from 15 July for 40 days and nights. This led to a folklore myth that whatever the weather is like on 15 July will be how it is on the following 40 days and nights.
Does it really happen?
The jet stream does play an important part in predicting how the weather would be for the next 40 days and nights from the end of June/early July. The location of the jet stream shortly after the summer solstice largely determines the following summer's weather.
If the jet stream is located southerly then it is likely to be a more unsettled summer. If the jet stream is in a northerly position then the weather is likely to be brighter and dry throughout summer.
However, this does not prove that heavy rainfall for St. Swithun's Day and the following 40 days and nights could happen. In fact, since records began there has been no occurrence of rainfall for such a prolonged period of time.
More weather sayings and lore
When halo rings Moon or Sun, rain's approaching on the run
When a ring appears around the Moon or Sun, sometimes referred to as haloes, this suggests rainfall may be approaching. The halo is caused by ice crystals formed in high clouds. These ice crystals then refract the light from the Moon or Sun. As the ice crystals travel lower, precipitation becomes more likely. In summer months particularly, the Halo can be a sign of approaching storms.
A ring appearing around the Moon or Sun may also be a result of a 'corona'. Where the formation of a halo is due to light refraction, a corona is formed from light being diffracted. As the light travels through the cloud, it is deflected around the water droplets. This causes a corona which appears as a circle around the light source.
When the wind is out of the East, tis never good for man nor beast
This weather proverb carries some truth if you consider the various air masses that affect Britain and its weather. The air mass coming in from a northeasterly direction is the 'polar continental;' record low temperatures have been seen due to this air mass affecting Britain. This air mass originates in places such as Eastern Europe and Russia to affect Britain with bitterly cold winds in winter and dry, warm winds in summer. Although, it is usually only apparent in Britain during winter (between November and April).
Mackerel sky and mare's tails make tall ships carry low sails
This weather proverb originates from a nautical background when different cloud types were used to determine whether sails needed to be lowered. Also referred to as just a 'mackerel sky', it is associated with altocumulus clouds while 'mare's tails' refer to cirrus clouds. Both could develop before the instance of a storm, which would lead to the lowering of the ship's sails. Altocumulus clouds appear when there is a certain level of moisture in the air suggesting rainfall is approaching. The term "mackerel sky" comes from the clouds resemblance to the scales of a mackerel.

Rain before seven, fine by eleven
This refers to the fact that weather systems tend to be variable and move through the UK fairly quickly, with the prevalent westerly airflow off the Atlantic. Whilst this can sometimes mean that a low-pressure front may have moved through in a morning, this is not always the case and rain can (and often does) stay around for longer than a morning.
Whilst this saying may sometimes be true, it is far from reliable.
Cows lie down when it’s about to rain
An age old piece of weather lore says that cows lying down is a sign that rain is on the way.
Several theories have been proposed for this, some say that cows are particularly sensitive to atmospheric pressure, while others have suggested that they sense the moisture in the air and lie down to save themselves a dry patch of grass.
However, cows lie down for many reasons and there's no scientific evidence that rain is one of them.
More likely they are just relaxing and chewing their cud.
Pine cones open when good weather is on the way
This is one of the sayings that is grounded in scientific fact.
The opening and closing of pines cones is dictated by humidity.
In dry weather, pine cones open out as the drying scales shrivel and stand out stiffly. In damp conditions the increased moisture allows more flexibility and the cone returns to its normal closed shape.
It’s too cold to snow
The main basis for this myth is that the cooler the air is, the less moisture it is able to hold. However, even the coldest air is still able to hold some moisture, so while it may be unlikely to snow, it is still possible.
Furthermore, there are many other factors beyond temperature which determine whether or not snow will form

PLEASE CONSIDER the fact that #Hollywood comes from "Holly Wood" which the druids used while casting "spells"

Then PLEASE CONSIDER that YOU may be under the influence of a #Charm spell cast on YOU by these dark magicians!

I mean do you think these things are merely a work of fiction???
The ENTIRE WORLD has been deceived by Hollywood and #Science
do you REALLY believe this was an accident???

COULD YOU BE UNDER A "Charm" spell which causes YOU to ignore #Truth???
I'll happily ADMIT that I was once "charmed" by these liars and #Evil men!

But NO MORE! Now I want YOU to wake up to the
"World that has been pulled over your eyes"

By the liars in the media, #NASA, your government, and #Satan
(BTW.... the others work for Satan)

Have YOU ever noticed the "rhythmic nature" of a LIAR SPEAKING???
(See definition)

charm (n.)
c. 1300, "incantation, magic charm," from Old French charme (12c.) "magic charm, magic spell incantation; song, lamentation," from Latin carmen "song, verse, enchantment, religious formula," from canere "to sing" (from PIE root *kan- "to sing"), with dissimilation of -n- to -r- before -m- in intermediate form *canmen (for a similar evolution, see Latin germen "germ," from *genmen). The notion is of chanting or reciting verses of magical power.

A yet stronger power than that of herb or stone lies in the spoken word, and all nations use it both for blessing and cursing. But these, to be effective, must be choice, well knit, rhythmic words (verba concepta), must have lilt and tune; hence all that is strong in the speech wielded by priest, physician, magician, is allied to the forms of poetry. [Jakob Grimm, "Teutonic Mythology" (transl. Stallybrass), 1883]
Sense of "pleasing quality, irresistable power to please and attract" evolved by 17c. From 1590s as "any item worn to avert evil;" meaning "small trinket fastened to a watch-chain, etc." first recorded 1865. Quantum physics sense is from 1964. Charm-bracelet is from 1941; charm-school from 1919. To work like a charm (figuratively) is recorded by 1824.

charm (v.)

c. 1300, "to recite or cast a magic spell," from Old French charmer (13c.) "to enchant, to fill (someone) with desire (for something); to protect, cure, treat; to maltreat, harm," from Late Latin carminare, from Latin carmen "song, verse, enchantment, religious formula" (see charm (n.)). In Old French used alike of magical and non-magical activity. In English, "to win over by treating pleasingly, delight" from mid-15c.; weaker sense of "be highly pleasing" is by early 18c. Charmed (short for I am charmed) as a conventional reply to a greeting or meeting is attested by 1825.

Entries linking to Charm
*kan-
Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to sing."

It forms all or part of: accent; cant (n.1); cantabile; cantata; cantatrice; canticle; canto; cantor; canzone; Carmen; chanson; chant; chanter; chanteuse; chanty; chanticleer; charm; concent; descant; enchant; enchantment; hen; incantation; incentive; oscine; precentor; recant.

It is the hypothetical source of/evidence for its existence is provided by: Greek eikanos "cock," literally "bird who sings (for sunrise);" Latin cantare, canere "to sing;" Old Irish caniaid "sings," Welsh canu "sing;" Old English hana "cock."

charmer (n.)
mid-14c., "one who casts spells;" 1670s as "one who has the power of fascinating," agent noun from charm (v.).

charming (adj.)
late 14c., "using charms;" 1610s (implied in charmingly) as "enchanting, delightful;" present-participle adjective from charm (v.).
