  Hi Pioneerschmioneer, your post has intrigued me a few days. It is confusing. Some scriptures are hard to put together. So I admit that I am not so good in explaining this topic. But I want to point out that the Passover lamb was very quickly prepared. It was basically killed without separating the head. And the guts were not taken out. So the preparation was quick, just kill the lamb and let out the blood, then put it whole on the fire.

  So the Passover meal did not require much preparation. So I think the Preparation day was the Passover day for the next day that was allways a day of rest, the 15th day.

  Exodus 12:8 ‘They must eat the meat on this night. They should roast it over the fire and eat it along with unleavened bread and bitter greens. 9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled, cooked in water, but roast it over the fire, its head together with its shanks and its inner parts. 10 You must not save any of it until morning, but any of it left over until morning you should burn with fire.

  The WT organization’s interpretation of what is the main theme of the Bible is the following:

  “The main theme of the Bible is that Jehovah’s name will be vindicated as he fulfills his purpose for the earth by means of his Kingdom under Christ.”

  (Paragraph 8, https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=jwlshare&wtlocale=E&prefer=lang&docid=2023605 )

  Is that really the main theme of the Bible?

  Or what does the Bible say ?

  God himself gives the first prophecy after sin came into the world as a foundation for what the Bible is about:

  Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. He will crush your head, and you will strike him in the heel.”

  Who would become the offspring that nullifies Satan's deeds?

  Colossians 2:2 “the sacred secret of God, namely, Christ.”

  1 Corinthians 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep in death. 21 For since death came through a man, resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. 22 For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each one in his own proper order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence. 24 Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. 25 For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet. 26 And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing. 27 For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him. 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.

  Hi Pioneerschmioneer, I read your comment and checked what the scriptures say about it. So here it is. So what conclusion can be drawn from these scriptures?:

  Exodus 12:6 You must care for it until the 14th day of this month, and the whole congregation of the assembly of Israel must slaughter it at twilight.

  18 In the first month, on the 14th day of the month, in the evening, you are to eat unleavened bread until the 21st day of the month, in the evening.

  How long did it take before God gave manna to the Israelites after they left Egypt?

  The Israelites celebrated their first Passover the 14th day of the first month and left the same day.

  Then we can read in Exodus 15:1 …on the 15th day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt. 2 Then the entire assembly of the Israelites began to murmur against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3 The Israelites kept saying to them: “If only we had died by Jehovah’s hand in the land of Egypt while we were sitting by the pots of meat, while we were eating bread to satisfaction. Now you have brought us out into this wilderness to put this whole congregation to death by famine.” 4 Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Here I am raining down bread for you from the heavens, and each of the people should go out to gather his amount day by day, so that I may put them to the test to see whether they will walk in my law or not.”

  So within a month they had finished the food they had taken with them from Egypt, and the people started to panic. Apparently they had lost their confidence that God would provide for them. I wonder how many days they were without food? How many days did they go hungry before God gave them manna? How patient would I have been if I had been there?

  We can think about Jesus who after his baptism did not eat for 40 days and how hungry he was. Then also Satan came and urged him to miraculously turn stones to bread. I wonder also how much weight Jesus lost during these 40 days?

  Some biblical thoughts from my daily Bible reading

  Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well-spoken-of, whatever things are virtuous, and whatever things are praiseworthy, continue considering these things.
