02:36It was approaching the 9th hour (3PM Jerusalem time, 8 AM EST) The skies are completely darkened and look ominous. In the Temple a lamb is about to be slaughtered for the sins of the Nation it will be signified by the blow of the Shofar. At that moment Jesus cried out with a loud voice My God, My God, why have you forsaken me.”The gospel of Luke records Jesus crying out: Father, into you hands I commit my spirit. After he said this he breathed his last.Off in the distance the shofar was heard being blown.SHOFAR SOUND - Begin EARTHQUAKE - LighteningAt that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open.Ancient historians make note of an earthquake occurring…to this day NOAA historical earthquake data records an earthquake occurring in 33 AD about the time of the crucifixion.8. The Morning Watch
02:02Its Early in the morning watch… light of the rising sun in the east is barely visible. It will rise 5:26 AM JST, 10:26 pm EST.7. Middle Watch
02:58Its well past midnight in Jerusalem for the Jews however there is no midnight. Its called the middle watch. The night hours are broken into four watches. Evening, Middle, cockcrow and morning. In the Old Testament the nights were broken up into three watches but the Romans are in charge now so that’s how its going to be. During the middle watch Jesus had been bound and more than likely beaten. According to the Gospel of John he is brought first to Annas who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.6. Gethsemane
03:10Just prior to their departure for the Garden of Gethsemane its believed Jesus begins what is know as the farewell address as recorded in the gospel of John.. They leave Jerusalem and make their way down into the Kidron Valley…they feel the air become cool as they descend. Beneath the valley is an active fault line. it will play a major role in the end times. They will ascend part of the way up the Mount of Olives where they will enter into the garden. Distant moisture from the Mediterranean mixes with the cool night air lower down the mountain and a fog begins to low to the ground. The full moon cast shadows in the Olive groves. The Jewish Passover is always celebrated during a period of the full moon, sometimes called the Paschal full moon.
