How can a single Sabbath fall on different days of the week within the same general area?

I was taught that the Yahushua was crucified on a Friday, rested in the Tomb on a Saturday and rose from the grave on Sunday morning. Isn’t this empirical proof that Saturday is the seventh-day Sabbath?

Please explain how the first manna week was in harmony with the lunar Sabbath?

Regarding Sabbath versus Saturday/Sunday, WLC is getting a bit too picky. It does not matter which day one worships on. We are supposed to be like Yahushua: holy every day, not just one day out of every week. I worship every day.

The number 7 in the Bible is connected to Yahuwah, perfection and completion. This number is exactly 7, not approximately 7. The luni-solar Sabbath is only relative, an approximate 7. It always changes, where Yahuwah does not change. Can you explain?
