Nisan (Lamb), Passover (Sacrifice), Firstfruits (Resurrection), Trumpets (Return)
Lamb of God (John 1:29) would be born in the same month as the Passover lambs were selected (Nisan 10)
Crucifixion during Passover (Nisan 14-15): This is explicit and foundational. The Gospels meticulously show Jesus as the Paschal (Passover) Lamb. He was crucified at the very hour the temple lambs were being slain. As Paul states: "For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed." (1 Corinthians 5:7). This is the core of the Christian salvation narrative.
Resurrection on the Feast of Firstfruits (Yom HaBikkurim): This is also explicit. Paul directly links the Resurrection to this feast: "But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep." (1 Corinthians 15:20). His resurrection is the "first fruit" and guarantee of the future resurrection of all believers.
Return during the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah): This is a powerful and widely held eschatological view. Rosh Hashanah (Yom Teruah, the Day of Trumpet Blasts) is associated with:
The coronation of a king.
A great awakening blast.
A day of judgment and remembrance.
The traditional "day and hour that no one knows" (linked to the new moon sighting).
The New Testament consistently links Christ's return with the sound of a trumpet (Matthew 24:31, 1 Corinthians 15:52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16).
