On that Friday, two Roman seals were put on the tomb. A Roman seal was the drilling of a hole through the rolling stone into the sides of the tomb wall at a downward angle. Then hot lead would be poured into the hole, and an iron rod was inserted. The chief priests and Pharisees had gone to Pilate, the governor, to make that request. The left iron rod can still be seen at the Garden Tomb outside Jerusalem. Seventy-two hours after being put in the tomb, about 5:30 PM on Saturday, May 1st AD 28, the Lord of the Sabbath, rose from the dead on the Sabbath, vanishing from the tomb and reappearing somewhere else. For the next twelve hours, the Roman soldiers would be guarding an empty tomb. Yeshua had thus fulfilled the Feast of Unleavened Bread

The part that says “a falling away”, should be interpreted as “a rebellious stand”. Then, and only then, does the Great Tribulation start, spoken of by Yeshua in Matthew chapter 24, and Revelation chapter 19. Many will anticipate a rapture that will not come, and it won’t take place until after the anti-Christ and false Jesus are cast into the Lake of Fire, in the spring that comes three and a half years after the witnesses are taken back to Heaven…, on the Day of Trumpets.
