WHY DOES PASSOVER ONLY OCCUR ON A MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY ?
IT IS ALL TO DO WITH THE HEBREW OR JEWISH CALENDAR.
THAT CALENDAR IS SOMEWHAT COMPLICATED AND HAS MANY RULES.
THE ANCIENT ISRAELITE CALENDAR WAS ALSO VERY COMPLICATED.
IT WAS ONLY THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL THAT HAD C HARGE OF ARRANGING THE CALENDAR, FOR A 19 YEAR TIME CYCLE TO KEEP THE SUN AND MOON IN LINE WITH THE EARTH AND ITS SEASONS.
I HAVE A SERIES OF INDEPTH STUDIES GOING THROUGH THE ANCIENT ISRAEL CALENDAR.
WHEN THE JEW WERE AGAIN SCATTERED FROM JERUSALEM AND THE HOLY LAND IN 70 AD. BY THE ROMAN ARMIES OF TITUS; JEWS ALREADY IN MANY PARTS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, WERE NOW JOINED BY OTHER JEWS; AND SO BEGAN A MIGRATION OF JEWS OVER THE CENTURIES TO MOST PARTS OF THE WORLD, WHERE A GOOD LIVING COULD BE FOUND AND BUSINESSES BUILD.
SO IT WAS NEEDFUL THAT STEPS WERE TAKEN TO BUILD ON THE OLD CALENDAR AND CONSTRUCT A NEW CALENDAR THAT WAS EFFICIENT TO REGULATE THE MONTHS AND SEASONS FOR THE FEASTS OF GOD, FOR ALL JEWS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
THE JEWISH CALENDAR IS EXPOUNDED IN DETAIL IN THE JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA.
SO WITH ITS RULES TO KEEP EVERYTHING IN ORDER, THE PASSOVER WAS CONFINED TO MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.
THE JEWISH ENCYCLOPEDIA GIVES YOU THE DETAILS AS TO WHY THIS IS.
THE JEWS WERE GIVEN THE ORACLES OF GOD, PAUL SAID IN HIS LETTER TO THE ROMANS. THAT INCLUDES THE PRESERVATION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES, AND THE CALENDAR.
JESUS NEVER DEBATED THESE TWO FACTS; HE KNEW IT WAS TRUE.
THE JEWISH LEADERS ARE IN CHARGE OF REGULATING THE CALENDAR.
NO OTHER HUMAN BEING IS GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO REGULATE THE CALENDAR.
SOME HAVE THOUGHT SO AND HAVE COME UP WITH CALENDARS THAT ALL DIFFER ONE FROM A NOTHER--- UTTER CONFUSION! AND PAUL SAID GOD WAS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION.
