clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. 41 Now in the place
where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre,
wherein was never man yet laid. 42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the
Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
(Revelation Comments of Chapter 19)
“Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged Him. And the soldiers platted a
crown of thorns, and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe, And said,
‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ And they smote Him with their hands.” (John 19:1 – 3)
It should be noted that all the Kings of the Children of Israel were crowned as a King
on the day of the Passover, and the historical records of Israel’s history will prove it.
For it is written in John 18:37, “Pilate therefore said unto Him, ‘Art thou a king
then?’ Jesus answered, ‘Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for
this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.’” For it is
written in John 19:1 − 3, “Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged Him. And
the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on His head, and they put on Him a
purple robe, And said, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ And they smote Him with their
hands.” It should be noted that Almighty God used the Roman soldiers for three
specific reasons during the crucifixion that day:
1. The Lord Jesus could not die on the cross that day without being crowned as the
the King of the Jews. The Roman soldiers first had to make the crown of thorns. That
confirmed the Lord Jesus statement when He said, “Thou sayest that I am a king. To
this end was I born.” The Lord Jesus was born as the King of the Jews, but the lord
Jesus had to be crowned as the King of the Jews before His death.
2. Then the Roman soldiers had to place the crown of thorns on the Lord Jesus
Christ’s Head. When the tips of the thorns pierced the skin on the Lord’s head, the
sinless blood of the Lord touched the tips of the thorns, thus the curse on the earth
from Adam and Eve’s sin was broken.
When the Lord Jesus said “It Is Finished” and gave up the ghost, the skies above
the Lord’s Cross immediately darkened and rain began to fall. Then there were
several lightening strikes and loud thundering across the darkened skies. The
ground around the bottom of the cross was shaken by small earthquake, and the
Lord Jesus Christ’s blood along with the rainwater started to drain downward into
the ground and the rock toward the Ark of the Covenant, that was placed there by
the religious Jews to protect it from the their enemies.
Then Lord Jesus Christ’s blood along with the rainwater began to drip through the
open tunnel way onto the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant. Only Almighty
God could have orchestrated this historical event of the Lord Jesus Christ’s blood
