The founder and spiritual leader
of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, Olumba Olumba Obu has strongly disagreed
with the days of death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
According to him, Jesus died on
Thursday as against the popular Good Friday that is currently being celebrated
all over the world.
In a sermon to mark the Easter
festivities in Calabar yesterday, he said. “I am declaring to the whole world
from the highest heaven that He died for three days and three nights, just as
He said. The three days are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. These three days
should be wonderful days for the whole world, to fast and to mourn and to
receive blessing.
“People argue that the Lord Jesus
Christ was killed on Friday. This is the argument against that assertion:- If
He died on Friday, then He is not the one. What you hear is what He said before
it ever happened. That is why we usually preach this gospel at a time like this
every year.
“I thank God immensely that the
Lord Jesus Christ has openly made the declaration that He will only die for
three days and three nights. I have already told you that this week is a
wonderful one.
“The feast of the Passover was
always celebrated on Friday. All the Jews from all parts of the world had to
assemble in Jerusalem for the Passover feast on Friday. Saturday was observed
as the Sabbath day, and you know how the Jews regarded the Sabbath day.
“How then would He have been
crucified on Friday? That was the day of the great feast of the Passover and so
they could not have crucified Him on Friday. It was because they were afraid
that there would be an uproar among the people if He was crucified on Friday,
the feast day. That is why His death was shifted two days backwards.
“On Thursday morning, at 6:00
a.m., he was condemned to death. From that time till Thursday evening was one
day. 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday was the second day. 6:00 a.m. to 6:00
p.m. on Saturday was the third day. The night of Thursday was one night. The
night of Friday was the second night; and the night of Saturday was the third
night. And so altogether you have three days and three nights.
“How would you compute yours? The
whole of Christendom, and the so-called orthodox churches argue that He was
crucified on Friday, and so they refer to that day as Good Friday. I want them
to count with me whether they would have three days and three nights.”
He called on Christians and
non-Christians to love one another and flee violence, corruption, hatred and
respect their leaders so that peace and progress can begin to set in.
