  2. Yaweh: the God over History • “Where is God?” • God doesn’t micro-manage our individual lives… • He allows Free Will… • Yet God interrupts Human History.

  3. Easter: the History Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was* still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb. John 20:1

  4. Easter: the History She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. John 20:2-3 The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first; and stooping and looking in, he saw* the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in. John 20:4-5

  5. Easter: the History And so Simon Peter also came*, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw* the linen wrappings lying there,and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself. John 20:6-7 (NASB95)

  6. Easter: the History So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. John 20:8

  7. Easter: the History By 49 a.d. – Riots in Rome (Seutonius, in Claudius 25) By 64 a.d. – Nero Persecution,Pilate / Jesus Crucifixion (Tacitus, in Annuls 15,44) A group of scared, uneducatedfishermen from Galilee werepermanently changed into bold,excited missionaries and martyrs.

Tiberius, Augustus, Herod, Quirinius, Pilot, Passover on a Friday This passage accurately predicts the date of the coming of Christ over 500 years before the fact! Was it forged later by Christians?
