Luke 24:1 says Jesus was raised on the first day of the week which is Sunday. There is simply no way you can twist this to make His crucifixion land on Wednesday, regardless of any supposed wandering sabbath day.

Indeed, it is not well known that Hebrew days began and ended at sunset, unlike ours (at least in America) which effectively begin and end at sunrise, though literally at midnight.

I feel it necessary to warn against this false teaching about when Christ died and was raised.

1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron" 1 Timothy 4:1-2


Jesus could not have died on a Wednesday and been raised from the dead on a Saturday. This is a lie from the pit of hell, and here is why.

All four books of the Gospel state that Jesus died on a preparation day. This could not have been a preparation day for the Passover feast because Jesus and his disciples ate their Passover meal just before he was arrested.

It had to be Friday, the preparation day for the Shabbat, and the Gospels expressly say so.

Matthew 27:62

"Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,"

Mark 15:42

"Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,"

Luke 23:54

"That day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near."

John 19:42

"So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby."

Furthermore, Luke 24:1-3 tells us this extremely important detail:

"1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus."

It says Jesus' resurrection was on the first day of the week. The first day of the week in Hebrew culture is Sunday.

In the same chapter, Jesus appears on the road to Emmaus and the text says this in Luke 24:13:

"Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem"

This conversation took place the same Sunday that Jesus was raised from the dead.

During the conversation, they said this to Jesus in Luke 24:21:

"But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened."

Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The third day.


People who insist that Jesus died on Wednesday and was raised on Saturday use Matthew 12:40 as justification for their belief because it says "three days and three nights" so they deny the Friday to Sunday account, however this ignores what all these verses I have quoted plainly say and makes the gospel authors out to be liars, which they are not.

Commentaries

Ellicot's Commentary for English Readers says this about the matter:

That the very difficulty presented by the prediction of “three days and three nights” as compared with the six-and-thirty hours (two nights and one day) of the actual history of the Resurrection, is against the probability of the verse having been inserted as a prophecy after the event. (3) That if we believe that our Lord had a distinct prevision of His resurrection, and foretold it, sometimes plainly and sometimes in dark sayings—and of this the Gospels leave no room for doubt (Matthew 16:21; Matthew 26:32; John 2:19)—then the history of Jonah presented an analogy which it was natural that He should notice. It does not necessarily follow that this use of the history as a prophetic symbol of the Resurrection requires us to accept it in the very letter of its details. It was enough, for the purposes of the illustration, that it was familiar and generally accepted. The purely chronological difficulty is explained by the common mode of speech among the Jews, according to which, any part of a day, though it were but a single hour, was for legal purposes considered as a whole. An instance of this mode of speech is found in 1Samuel 30:12-13, and it is possible that in the history of Jonah itself the measurement of time is to be taken with the same laxity.

and Barnes' Notes on the Bible says this:

Three days and three nights - It will be seen in the account of the resurrection of Christ that he was in the grave but two nights and a part of three days. See Matthew 18:6. This computation is, however, strictly in accordance with the Jewish mode of reckoning. If it had "not" been, the Jews would have understood it, and would have charged our Saviour as being a false prophet, for it was well known to them that he had spoken this prophecy, Matthew 27:63. Such a charge, however, was never made; and it is plain, therefore, that what was "meant" by the prediction was accomplished. It was a maxim, also, among the Jews, in computing time, that a part of a day was to be received as the whole. Many instances of this kind occur in both sacred and profane history.

Here are the relevant segments from the article relating to the question in your title as to whether there is evidence pointing to a Taiwan CCP conflict. These are from statements by Xi Jinping and China Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian, and by any objective measure would constitute evidence that China intends to invade Taiwan.

A new video circulated among Chinese Communist Party channels has warned China will destroy Japan with nuclear weapons in a "full-scale war" if Tokyo interferes militarily in Taiwan.

When we liberate Taiwan, if Japan dares to intervene by force – even if it only deploys one soldier, one plane or one ship – we will not only return fire but also wage full-scale war against Japan itself.

I must stress that, Taiwan is part of China and the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair. China never allows interference in the Taiwan question in any form by any country.

China must and will be reunified. A complete reunification of China is most beneficial to regional peace and stability.

I didn't post this to make an argument for or against your assertions, but simply as a reminder that the threats China made against Japan last year were a significant reason that many people began to expect that a Chinese invasion of Taiwan might be imminent.

And they so far allowed him [Putin] to get away with this travesty and assault on humanity. That's what it is. This is an assault on humanity, it's so sad. Putin is playing Biden like a drum and it's not a pretty thing as somebody that loves our country to watch. Just not a pretty thing to watch." - DJT at CPAC

Assault on humanity sounds like a condemnation to me.

The entire video is a good watch. It goes into a lot of occultist symbolism and I would recommend his whole Nephilim series.

Here is a lecture on the reliability of New Testament manuscripts and Textual Criticism.

How Badly Was the New Testament Corrupted? | Veritas at SDSU (2018)

The title is hyperbolic but in short the conclusion is this:

The New Testament text in all essentials and in the vast majority of particulars is absolutely certain


Here is a bible conference from Lamb & Lion Ministries discussing whether the biblical stories of the flood, the thousand year kingdom, the creation week, and the rapture should be taken literally.

Can the biblical books of Genesis and Revelation really be taken literally?

The original text reads in greek ἐπὶ (epi) which means "on, to,against, on the basis of, at" according to biblehub.

https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/13-16.htm

https://biblehub.com/greek/epi_1909.htm

It can be translated as "in", or "on" or "at" and generally translators try to use context to decide which translation seems most appropriate. In this instance, it is difficult to determine which translation the context favors.

If you look at the word for "mark" which is χάραγμα (charagma) you will see that it refers to "Sculpture; engraving, stamp, or sign. Same as Charax; a scratch or etching, ie Stamp, or sculpted figure." and generally seems to give a concept of a mark being engraved or etched into a stone or statue surface, but could indicate a superficial marking ON an object (stamp) OR a marking IN an object (engraving).
