True Story about the Sign of Jonah - Hardcover

by Everett W. Purcell (Author)

This book shows that the Traditional View for Easter (Palm Sunday, the Friday crucifixion and the Sunday morning resurrection) is not scriptural. Our derivation, for what really happened to Jesus, requires an understanding of the Hebrew calendar which is derived from the book of Exodus. This calendar is based on the moon and has all its days start just after sunset. The Hebrew calendar establishes all the rules for naming the weeks, celebrating the festivals, etc. Jesus was crucified on the Preparation Day, and was entombed during the Passover, on the spices and perfume Preparation Day and during the regular Jewish Sabbath. This is three days and three nights just as Jesus prophesied numerous times. The Easter festival was establish with a Greek calendar much later and can never explain the sign of Jonah.
