Mystical Speculations

Part I - The resurrection hour

For readers that just cant get enough of the Fibonacci numbers, a final speculation will be provided that involves the hypothetic resurrection hour of Jesus. Please notice that these hypothesis are completely based on presumptions and should as such only be read for entertainment purposes. 

The timeline on the right shows the hours mentioned in the gospels before and after Jesus death and appearance. Besides the regular hours, also the presumed time of the resurrection of Jesus has been introduced. Please remember that the gospels provide no indication about this hour. Nevertheless it is logical to apply the by now familiar resurrection number symbolism in order to find a suitable hour. The only logical possibility in this case is that Jesus rose from the grave just before the eights nightly hour of the first day.

The sixth nightly hour of this day was the last hour before midnight and the seventh hour the first hour after midnight. Considering that the current western 24 hour clock starts at midnight, any resurrection after the sixth hour would be safe enough to not undermine the current liturgical tradition. After all the church claims that Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday and not on Saturday. However, the seventh hour of the first day was still part of the symbolic Sabbatical number seven that characterized Jesus death and rest in the grave. As such he may have opened his eyes on the seventh hour but he surely didn't move from his grave before the eighth hour. It was not like Jesus to spoil at the last moment, something so important as the symbolism that was involved in his own death for mankind.

The timeline on the right shows that even more Fibonacci numbers appear once the hypothetical hour of Jesus resurrection is added.
