Lunar Sabbath
a time tested tradition

    Crucifixion 32 AD

    Very High Level 2

    Fact

    The crucifixion occurred in 32 AD

    Evidence

    • Tiberius' 15th year (Fall 28 - Fall 29 AD) places John's ministry start in that window

    • Temple was 46 years in building at first Passover - places first Passover in 30 AD

    • Three Passovers in John's Gospel: 30, 31, and 32 AD

    • 490 years from Ezra's decree (458 BC) aligns with 32 AD (Daniel's prophecy)

    • 29 AD was a sabbatical Year of Release, placing crucifixion 3 years later

    • Phlegon of Tralles recorded eclipse and earthquake in 4th year of 202nd Olympiad (32/33 AD)

    • All evidence converges on 32 AD WITHOUT considering the calendar

    • Scholars avoid 32 AD because Saturday Sabbath puts Passover on Monday - but that's circular reasoning

    The 32 AD date is established through multiple INDEPENDENT lines of evidence that do not consider the calendar. The fact that Saturday Sabbath is incompatible with 32 AD is not evidence against 32 AD - it's evidence against Saturday Sabbath.
