A Prophetic Timetable

Commentators emphasize the prophetic timing of the sacrifice. The lamb was to be slain 'between the two evenings,' which many scholars interpret as around 3 p.m. This corresponds to the 'ninth hour,' the very time Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb, died on the cross, revealing God's meticulous plan of salvation.
