Good Friday: 4-4-33 AD at 3pm

Daily Gratitude Year 13 - Day 108: Today, I am grateful for Good Friday, 4-4-33 AD at 3 pm.

Today, we remember that day so many years ago that changed everything. Some Historians and Biblical Scholars calculate the day as April 4, 33 A.D. at 3 p.m. They used the historical figures who ruled, and other details given in the Gospels to calculate the date. I am intrigued by the many "threes" in the date. Three is the number of the Holy Trinity. 

My curiosity made me look deeper into the 4/4 date. I know that numbers are significant. I found this at freebiblestudyhub.com :

"In Biblical numerology, the number 4 is associated with universality, completeness, and creation. It often signifies something that is full, complete, or globally encompassing, reflecting the way God created the world and governs it. Throughout the Scriptures, this number represents both God’s creation of the physical world and His divine order. Understanding the number 4 offers believers deeper insights into God’s creation, His covenant with mankind, and His sovereignty over all things."

I decided to dig a little deeper into the number three because there is always more to learn. Here is what I found: 

"In biblical numerology, the number three is one of the most significant and frequently used numbers. It symbolizes completion, perfection, and divine intervention, serving as a profound indicator of God’s presence, work, and purposes. From the Holy Trinity to key events in the life of Jesus Christ, the number three holds a deep spiritual meaning that reflects God’s nature and the structure of His creation."

Wow! Read it again and ponder the perfection. If that date is indeed the actual date, it is God's intervention and completion as the date Jesus was crucified. Jesus said in John 19:30 "It is finished."

Isaiah's prophecy was fulfilled and so much more. 

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5 (NLT)

How can we not believe? 

Today, I am grateful for Good Friday, 4-4-33 AD at 3 pm.
