The <strong>Crucifixion</strong> <strong>Was</strong> <strong>Not</strong> on Friday 43 1921. We have already found that the seventh new moon in 1921 occurred September 19, 3 hours, 54 minutes and 56% seconds after midnight. Since the seventh new moon occurred 19 days, 17 hours, 41 minutes and 10 seconds earlier in the year in 1931, all we need to do is subtract the one figure from the other to find the exact time of the seventh new moon in 1931. Thus: Sun. Sept. 19 -19d 3h -17h 54m -41m 56%s -10 s Aug. 30 10h 13m 46%s (This answer is derived by changing one day into 24 hours.) So the seventh new moon in 1931 occurred on August 30 (Julian Calendar), 10 hours, 13 minutes and 46 % seconds after midnight. But on which day of the week was this? On Which Day of the Week? We have already found that September 19, 1921 (or October 2, by the Gregorian Calendar), was Sunday. Remember that September 19, 1931 (or October 2, Gregorian Calendar), was exactly 3652 days later (365 X 10 + 2). How many weeks was this? Divide by 7 and you will find that 3652 days equals 521 weeks and 5 days. Therefore September 19 Julian Calendar, which was October 2 in Gregorian reckoning now in common use, was five days later in the week than it was in 1921. It was Sunday in 1921. It was therefore Friday in 1931. But on what day of the week did August 30, which was twenty days earlier (and was September 12 by Gregorian reckoning), occur? On Saturday in 1931! Look up any calendar for the year 1931 and see it for yourself! So the seventh month began on Saturday in 1931- and 164 days earlier, on a Wednesday, the Passover occurred! Next Comes 31 A.D.! Now we are ready to find the new moon which determines the seventh month in 31 A.D. And once we have found that,
44 The <strong>Crucifixion</strong> <strong>Was</strong> <strong>Not</strong> on Friday we can locate the Passover on which Jesus was crucified. We must now recall how much the Julian Calendar gains on the Hebrew Calendar in each 19-year cycle. The figure was 1 hour, 26 minutes and 56% seconds. You have already proved that that is how much longer 19 Julian years are than a 19 year cycle of the Sacred Calendar. How many 19-year cycles elapsed between 31 A.D. and 1931? The answer is exactly 100. Let's multiply this figure by 100: 1h x100 26m x100 56%s x100 144h 54m (144h = 6 days) 26%s This means that the Julian Calendar gains this much on the Hebrew Calendar in those 1900 years. Now add this difference to the date of the new moon which determined the seventh month in 1931: Sat., Aug. 30 +6d 10h +Oh 13m +54m 46%s -I-26%s Sept. 5 11h 8m 13%s (This answer has the seconds changed into minutes, and minutes into hours.) This is the exact time of a new moon in 31 A.D., 11 hours, 8 minutes and 13lh seconds after midnight on September 5. But is this new moon the one which determined the seventh month in 31 A.D.? No. Here's why: The year 1931 was the 10th year of a cycle. Hence it did not have a thirteenth month. The year 31 A.D. was also the 10th year of a cycle - because it was exactly 100 cycles earlier! But we find that before 142 A.D., the years in which a thirteenth month was added occurred one year earlier in each cycle.
