>>> Part 2 of 2...
 for man's mean time, 0-hour is midnight and the 3rd hours would
 be 3am, the 6th hour would be 6am, the 9th hour would be 9am,
 12:00 noon would be 12am, 15:00 hours would be 3pm, 18:00 hours
 would be 6pm, 21:00 hours would be 9pm and 24:00 or 0-hour would
 be 12am or midnight, right?  And none of it could ever line up
 with the hours described in The Scriptures, correct?  Yahshua
 gave up the Ghost at "about" the ninth hour, which was about 3pm
 by man's reckoning of time, but according to your reckoning of
 mean time, the ninth hour would have been at about 9am in the
 morning, which was when they crucified Him, correct?
 CH> And we see here that the sixth hour is clearly 9am to 12 noon
 > or midday!  And the darkness lasted until the ninth hour, which
 > could have been anywhere from midday to 3pm!  Now it is plain
 > to see that had it been night, it would, of necessity, had to
 > have been dark the whole time and not just a part of the time!
 JH> Please again, consider that the sixth hour is a literal hour and not a
 JH> time span.  The sixth hour is 12 noon.  From 12 noon until 3 p.m.
 JH> there  was darkness, probably due to an eclipse.  This was not night,
 JH> but more  a midnight in the middle of the day , an eclipse.  On this
 JH> we agree. 
 
 Heavens no brother Jerry, for the sixth hour can be either 12
 noon or 12 midnight to the Hebrew, which is exactly why they had
 the watches, etc., to distinguish of which part of day or night
 one was speaking of, correct?  And it is indeed a joy to agree with
 you, however, it must be pointed out once again that any part of
 the 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds would indeed be considered a
 part of the sixth hour, correct?  For one could say that he came
 at exactly the sixth hour, or that he came at about the middle
 of the sixth hour, or that he came at about the end of the sixth
 hour, or he could even say that he came on or about the sixth
 hour which could be during the fifth hour, could he not?
 CH> Now, since most scholars say that He died at 3pm, rather than
 > some time between midday and 3pm, do we see any reason to not
 > accept this time since it does allow plenty of time between 3pm

 JH> Absolutely.  However, the assumption at that time, that the day began 
 JH> at "sunset" as apposed to the actual "going DOWN of the sun," was a 
 JH> recent institution.  It was incorporated into the Talmud, by those 
 JH> who combined Mosaic Law with Chaldean mysteries.  This time was
 JH> changed  by the sanhedrin for political and economic reasons, a lesson
 JH> learned  well by their Babylonish experience.  The scripture told the
 JH> truth  about what the Judeans thought in those days was the actual
 JH> start of  the sabbath, but scripture nowhere condones, nor verifies the
 JH> accuracy  of of that time.
 
 CH> Ge   1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he
 > called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first
 > day. {And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the
 > morning was}
 JH> Here is your answer.  He did not call the evening and the morning the 
 JH> light and dark part of the day.  YaHVaH called the "light" day, and 
 JH> the "Darkness" night.  The completed day He called "evening and 
 JH> morning," (12 noon to 12 noon).
 Absolutely no way my brother, could it be 12 noon to 12 noon,
 for it is abundantly clear that "the evening" is from sunset to
 morning and "the morning" is from morning to sunset, which is
 clearly showing that a "day", a 24 hour period of night and day,
 is indeed sunset to sunset, right?  Please refer back to Strong's
 again on even or evening and it will become clear to ya', ok?
May Yahweh truly bless you!  Baruch Ha Shem.......clarence.......
