Yes, right after the death angel passover. It doesn’t day how long that actually took, but it “midnight” indicates equal dark time on each side. “dark” not evening or dusk, I think. So, in normal everyday day activity, very little is done in the dark, not like today of course. I think I will count the light part of a day using what we have which is nautical meaning we can still see a difference between light and dark. For practical purposes, I do still wonder if maybe the “new day”, since night, can actually be firmed up as to what time of the “night” is actually this middle (midnight). And in today’s timing, we actually do count from 12-12 as the dividing of time within that 24 hour circle. the pass over of the angel of death, was at midnight, not at the beginning of the “night”, and sure enough, when the next daylight happened…it is the next “day”.
I am still researching why the 6-6pm time is called “hebrew” or “Judaic”, however. So far, I have only found “reationales” for why it was decided to be this. With the “judaic” I found that the talmud is involved. Plus, why use “6” anything when looking at God’s solar setup? I was first drawn to Gen 1:3 and find that actually light was the first thing Father created on day 1 after the katabole. He did not create the “dark” that was “furnished” by the katabole.
Anyway, i reached out to you because I am researching this matter of 6-6pm reckoning for a day. Over 30 years I learned of this and just took it as “gospel”, that it must be correct. Now, I’m not so sure when I read Ex for the first passover. Right now, I will count the daylight as the first part of a day…day 1. But, I’m open to scripture that emphatically determines it so or not.
I took communion with my Lord, on the 2nd in the evening. But I used daylight as the beginning of a day in a 24 hour period. So, you did as well, even tho you counted it differently. And yes, my 35 years ago started with Shepherd’s Chapel, and I do still consider that the best the authority for the languages and all, and am very thankful. As well, I consider you and yours as member of the Body of Christ.
