on Jesus Death
Below
are facts on How Jesus Died For You. I do
not think that we really understand how much Jesus did for us. Please
share this post to spread the Good News of Jesus.
Crucifixion
was invented by the Persians in 300 BC, and perfected by the Romans in 100 BC.
1.
It is the most painful death ever invented by man and is where we get our term
"excruciating."
2.
It was reserved primarily for the most vicious of male criminals.
3.
Jesus was stripped naked
and His clothing divided by the Roman guards. This was
in fulfillment of Psalm 22:18, "They divide My garments among
them, and for My clothing they cast lots."
4.
The Crucifixion of Jesus guaranteed a horrific, slow, painful death.
5.
Jesus' knees were flexed at
about 45 degrees, and He was forced to bear His
weight
with the muscles of His thigh, which is not an anatomical position which is
possible to maintain for more than a few minutes without severe cramp in the
muscles of the thigh and calf.
6.
Jesus' weight was borne on
His feet, with nails driven through them. As the strength of the muscles
of Jesus' lower limbs tired, the weight of His body had to be transferred to
His wrists, His arms, and His shoulders.
7.
Within a few minutes of being placed on the Cross, Jesus' shoulders were dislocated. Minutes
later Jesus' elbows and wrists became dislocated.
8.
The result of these upper limb dislocations is that His arms were 9 inches
longer than normal, as clearly shown on the Shroud.
9.
In addition prophecy was fulfilled in Psalm 22:14, "I am poured out
like water, and all My bones are out of joint."
10.
After Jesus' wrists, elbows, and
shoulders were dislocated, the weight of His body on his upper limbs caused
traction forces on the Pectoralis Major muscles of His chest wall.
11.
These traction forces caused His rib cage to be pulled upwards and outwards, in
a most unnatural state. His chest wall was permanently in a position of maximal
respiratory inspiration. In order to exhale, Jesus was physiologically required
to force His body.
12.
In order to breathe out, Jesus had to push down on
the nails in His feet to raise His body, and allow His rib cage to move
downwards and inwards to expire air from His lungs.
13.
His lungs were in a resting position of constant maximum
inspiration. Crucifixion is a medical catastrophe.
14.
The problem was that Jesus could not easily push
down on the nails in His feet because the muscles of His legs, bent at 45
degrees, were extremely fatigued, in severe cramp, and in an anatomically
compromised position.
15.
Unlike all Hollywood movies about the Crucifixion, the victim was extremely
active. The crucified victim was physiologically forced to move up and
down the cross, a distance of about 12 inches, in order to breathe.
16.
The process of respiration caused excruciating pain, mixed with the absolute
terror of asphyxiation.
17.
As the six hours of the Crucifixion wore on, Jesus was less and less
able to bear His weight on His legs, as His thigh and calf muscles became
increasingly exhausted. There was increasing dislocation of His wrists,
elbows and shoulders, and further elevation of His chest wall, making His
breathing more and more difficult. Within minutes of crucifixion Jesus
became severely dyspnoeic (short of breath).
18.
His movements up and down the Cross to breathe caused excruciating pain in His
wrist, His feet, and His dislocated elbows and shoulders.
19.
The movements became less frequent as Jesus became increasingly
exhausted, but the terror of imminent death by asphyxiation forced Him to
continue in His efforts to breathe.
20.
Jesus' lower limb muscles
developed excruciating cramp from the effort of pushing down on His legs, to
raise His body, so that He could breathe out, in their anatomically compromised
position.
21.
The pain from His two shattered median nerves in His wrists exploded with every
movement.
22.
Jesus was covered in blood
and sweat.
23.
The blood was a result of the Scourging that nearly killed Him, and the sweat
as a result of His violent involuntary attempts to effort to expire air from
His lungs. Throughout all this He was completely naked, and the leaders of
the Jews, the crowds, and the thieves on both sides of Him were jeering,
swearing and laughing at Him. In addition, Jesus' own mother was watching.
24.
Physiologically, Jesus' body was undergoing
a series of catastrophic and terminal events.
25.
Because Jesus could not maintain adequate ventilation of His lungs, He was now
in a state of hypo-ventilation (inadequate ventilation).
26.
His blood oxygen level began to fall, and He developed Hypoxia (low blood
oxygen). In addition, because of His restricted respiratory movements, His
blood carbon dioxide (CO2) level began to rise, a condition known as Hypercritical.
27.
This rising CO2 level stimulated His heart to beat faster in order to increase
the delivery of oxygen, and the removal of CO2.
28.
The Respiratory Center in Jesus' brain sent urgent
messages to his lungs to breathe faster, and Jesus began to pant.
29.
Jesus' physiological
reflexes demanded that He took deeper breaths, and He involuntarily moved up
and down the Cross much faster, despite the excruciating
pain. The agonizing movements spontaneously started several
times a minute, to the delight of the crowd who jeered Him, the Roman soldiers,
and the Sanhedrin.
30.
However, due to the nailing of Jesus to the Cross and His
increasing exhaustion, He was unable to provide more oxygen to His oxygen
starved body.
31.
The twin forces of Hypoxia (too little oxygen) and Hypercapnia (too much CO2)
caused His heart to beat faster and faster, and Jesus developed Tachycardia.
32.
Jesus' heart beat faster
and faster, and His pulse rate was probably about 220 beats/minute, the maximum
normally sustainable.
33.
Jesus had drunk nothing for
15 hours, since 6 pm the previous evening. Jesus had endured a scourging
which nearly killed Him.
34.
He was bleeding from all over His body following the Scourging, the crown of
thorns, the nails in His wrists and feet, and the lacerations following His
beatings and falls.
35.
Jesus was already very
dehydrated, and His blood pressure fell alarmingly.
36.
His blood pressure was probably about 80/50.
37.
He was in First Degree Shock, with Hypovolaemia (low blood volume), Tachycardia
(excessively fast Heart Rate), Tachypnoea (excessively fast Respiratory Rate),
and Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
38.
By about noon Jesus' heart probably began to fail.
39.
Jesus' lungs probably began
to fill up with Pulmonary Oedema.
40.
This only served to exacerbate His breathing, which was already severely
compromised.
41.
Jesus was in Heart Failure
and Respiratory Failure.
42.
Jesus said, "I
thirst" because His body was crying out for fluids.
43.
Jesus was in desperate need of an intravenous infusion of blood and plasma to
save His life
44.
Jesus could not breathe
properly and was slowly suffocating to death.
45.
At this stage Jesus probably developed a Haemopericardium.
46.
Plasma and blood gathered in the space around His heart, called the
Pericardium.
47.
This fluid around His heart caused Cardiac Tamponade (fluid around His heart,
which prevented Jesus' heart from beating properly).
48.
Because of the increasing physiological demands on Jesus' heart, and the
advanced state of Haemopericardium, Jesus probably eventually sustained Cardiac
Rupture. His heart literally burst. This was probably the cause of His death.
49.
To slow the process of death the soldiers put a small wooden seat on the Cross,
which would allow Jesus the "privilege" of bearing His weight on his
sacrum.
50.
The effect of this was that it could take up to nine days to die on a Cross.
51.
When the Romans wanted to expedite death they would simply break the legs of
the victim, causing the victim to suffocate in a matter of minutes. This was
called Crucifragrum.
52.
At three o'clock in the afternoon Jesus said, "Tetelastai," meaning,
"It is finished." At that moment, He gave up His Spirit, and He
died.
53.
When the soldiers came to Jesus to break His legs, He was already dead. Not a
bone of His body was broken, in fulfillment of prophecy (above).
54.
Jesus died after six hours
of the most excruciating and terrifying torture ever invented.
55.
Jesus died so that ordinary
people like you and me could go to Heaven.
All
He Asks You is to Love Him, Your Lord, Your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind!! Can't
you even do this for Him?
