Shuva,
Hello there. My name is Mike Karoules and your investigation as to exactly when Y'shua died and rose again has been on my mind for quite a long time now. But just to throw another monkey wrench into the whole thing is the question if you are measuring a literal 24 hour (and literal 3 FULL days and 3 FULL nights) time period. Did Y'shua really mean that He would be in the tomb (or "heart of the earth" as He put it) for a literal - FULL 3 days and FULL 3 nights??
But also, could we not nail this down as to the precise day in which He Was crucified: like day after passover or the day after the day after the passover??
But we know that he had died on the preperation day. It says that but to me I have always wondered which preperation day the auther was talking about. But don't forget that the Sabbath in which Jesus was in the tomb was also a High Sabbath. I am not sure what that means other than that some important Jewish holiday fell on the 7th day Sabbath.
One more thing and not to give offense. But I think your basis for keeping the Sabbath is not too strong if you are basing it on which day Y'shua rose again. There are alot more rock solid reasons (from my knowledge anyway) from which to build one's basis for keeping the Sabbath.
Cordially,
