Timeline: The Crucifixion of Christ or The Fulfillment of Passover - Worldwide Church of God

Worldwide Church of God

Christ's death was prophesied (Gen. 3:15) and prefigured in animal sacrifices (Gen. 3:21, 4:4) immediately after the first sin. The one doctrine that ALL "Christianity" believes in is that Christ died to save sinners (Rom. 5:6, 8). Passover symbolizes this first step in God's plan of salvation. A lamb was chosen on the 10th day of the month, which was a type of Christ entering Jerusalem (Exodus 12:3). In the year of the Exodus and the crucifixion, this day fell on the Sabbath. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
