Interesting Facts |

| Like many Bibles,
mine has some interesting notes. Toward the back cover I read these
notations and thought you might find them interesting also. 1. The Hebrew
day begins at sundown, approximately six hours before the beginning of the
modern day. 2. Edersheim, in his book, The Temple, Its Ministry and
Services, says, "Early on the forenoon of the fourteenth of Nisan,
the Lord Jesus... sent Peter and John before Him 'to prepare the
Passover'". His book is most informative. 3. A. T. Robertson,
commenting on John 19:14, in A Harmony of the Gospels, says: "This
phrase "Preparation{ was really the name of a day of the week, the
day before the Sabbath, our Friday... 'Preparation' has long been the
regular name for Friday in the Greek language."
I doubt you must know all this to get the heaven but knowing the facts recorded in the Bible helps us to understand the record and be better equipped to apply God's message to our individual lives. Search your Scriptures to learn God's truth. Check, with a degree of skepticism, some of the interesting notes Bible students have gleaned from Bible study. |
