DRAMA OF THE AGESFLY THROUGH HISTORY WITH THE ANCIENT BOOK

19. THE PRICE PAID

The final week of years, of the time allotted to the Jews began in AD 27 and ended in

AD 34 with the Gospel going out to the Gentiles.

Exactly in the middle of the week, 3 1/2

days/years in 31 AD, Jesus died on the

cross. 

Right when the time to slay the

Passover Lamb came about, Jesus cried "It is finished"

and died.

The lamb that was about to be killed escaped and ran from the temple.

The curtain that hid the Most Holy Place from view was torn from top to bottom!

The shadow pictures had come true - no more would the ceremonial law have any

use except to study and see how prophecy was fulfilled.

It was God's signal to the Jews that the Messiah had fulfilled the ceremonies and no more would they be of any use to practice.

But the Jews did not heed. As a body they refused their Messiah.

However many individuals accepted Him and became the foundation of the Christian Church. 

The rejection of the Messiah brought on the events foretold by Jesus in the 24th of Matthew.

The temple was destroyed in AD 70 and Jerusalem was under foreign control and

still is.
