Today what I share is a
little different but the truth is this time of
year is different so please read and understand
the reason for this daily being different.
God Bless Jimmy
Now let me just share a thought with you about
what Easter really means. We see it as a time of
the risen Christ Jesus and that is true. For
with out him coming forth from the grave then we
have no hope in a new life after death in this
old clay body.
We have become ingrained in the traditions of man and have
forgotten the truth of what really happened over
2000 years ago. There is a new life but it is
the seed of God the Father's spirit that is
reborn into us after we accept Jesus gift that
he gave to us when he gave His life on the cross
that we might have a new life. The breath that
God the Creator breathed into Adam in the Garden
of Eden was His spirit and was the way Adam had
of communing with the Father in the cool of the
evening. When sin came into mans life it killed
the spirit from man and that is why Jesus told
us that we have to be born again and that spirit
of God has to be accepted back into our being or
we can't have eternal life.
We have forgotten that Easter was a pagan holiday long before
it was a Christian Holiday.
We also forget that Jesus lay 3 days and 3 nights in the
grave and so it could not have been from Friday
to Sunday or Jesus would have been a liar and he
was not.
There are lots more that I wish to share but due to time I just
can't do so in my own words but I will share
something here with you that has come to me and
it is full of many truths.
Please understand I am not saying for you to not celebrate Easter
just as we all most all have but just to help to
remind you the truth of it as I understand it so
please don't get angry and if you feel I am
wrong as I have told my prayer group many times
in the past please don't write me mean letters
just pray hard for our Father God to teach me in
any of my error. If God of the Bible can't get
me back on track then how could you?
I am not sure who wrote this but if you're
interested in reading then feel free to do so.
The celebration of Easter Sunday is hailed as
the most important religious holiday of what
claims to be Christianity, yet the holiday does
not have its origin from the teachings of Christ
and his apostles, or anywhere else in the Holy
Bible. The word "Easter," the English word for "Ishtar,"
is found only once in the KJV bible, (Acts 12:4)
and there, it was intentionally mistranslated
from the Greek word pascha, which in reality
should have been Passover. It was correctly
translated Passover in 28 other locations in the
KJV New Testament. Easter was not celebrated as
a so called Christian holiday until after the
"Catholic Nicene council" was convened in 325
AD.
Prior to that time and until today the holiday
by that name was and is a Pagan holiday. This
holiday was celebrated for thousands of years
before the birth of Jesus Christ. Easter was a
religious celebration to the Pagan "Queen of
Heaven", the Mother of life or the Goddess
Ishtar, the Goddess of fertility.
Jesus Christ was crucified at the exact time the
Passover lambs were being slaughtered for the
"Passover" meal, on the day preceding the first
day of the "Feast of Unleavened Bread", the
fourth day of the week, before sundown. After
sundown they ate the "Passover" meal. The next
day was the first day of the "Feast of
Unleavened Bread," a "high day," a special Holy
Day Sabbath, the fifth day of the week. He
resurrected on the third day of the "Feast of
Unleavened Bread," on the seventh day Sabbath
before sundown. Thus, he was in the grave (the
heart of the earth) three days and three nights,
as he had predicted to his disciples. (See
Matthew 12;40)
Christ and his followers kept the "Passover" and
the "Feast of Unleavened Bread". They did not in
any way keep the Pagan holiday of Easter.
Christ's followers were forbidden to keep any
Pagan customs or Pagan traditions. These customs
and traditions were decreed to be abominations
by God himself, throughout the old testament.
The Pagan customs of Easter eggs and the Easter
rabbit are associated with this holiday due to
their life giving reproductive characteristics.
The inference that the Easter rabbit laid the
Easter eggs is an abominable lie and has no
place in true Christian worship.
Easter sunrise service is an ancient pagan
custom of worship to the Sun God "Tammuz" which
at the time of the vernal equinox, was returning
into the northern hemisphere from its journey to
the south. The vernal equinox is the time of the
year when the sun crosses the equator in its
trek northward. To the pagan religious
worshippers, it is a time to celebrate the
return of life and reproduction to animal and
plant life as well. This is why Ishtar or Easter
was chosen to be celebrated at this time of the
year.
Ezekiel wrote, "And he brought me into the inner
court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the
door of the temple of the Lord, between the
porch and the altar, were about five and twenty
men, with their backs toward the temple of the
Lord, and their faces toward the East; and they
worshiped the sun toward the East.
"Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O
son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of
Judah that they commit the abominations which
they commit here? for they have filled the land
with violence, and have returned to provoke me
to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their
nose. Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine
eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity:
and though they cry in mine ears with a loud
voice, yet will I not hear them." Ezekiel
8:16-18
To compound this abominable "anti-Christian"
falsehood of Easter, we are told to believe that
Christ was crucified on Friday (Good Friday) and
rose on Easter Sunday morning, thus making Jesus
Christ a liar when he said he would be in the
grave three days and three nights. Even a child
can count and see there are not three days and
three nights between Friday and Sunday morning.
The abominable lie is further compounded by
saying that Christ resurrected on the morning of
the first day of the week. The Bible in no way
supports this claim. If we are to believe the
scriptures, Christ was put in the grave on
Wednesday evening before sunset. If Christ was
not a liar as some of the teachings of
Christianity depicts, then He rose from the
grave on Saturday evening before sunset. If the
grave was found open and empty early Sunday
morning, a reasonable person can only conclude
he resurrected the evening before Sunday
morning, before the end of the Seventh day
Sabbath, or Saturday afternoon before sundown.
"True Christians" or "Followers Of Christ,"
which would like to follow the scriptures
accurately, would do well to observe the God
ordained "Passover" and the "Feast Of Unleavened
Bread." This is the holiday celebration which
would correctly commemorate the "Death, Burial,
and Resurrection Of Jesus Christ." "Passover"
this year begins Wednesday evening, April 12th
at sunset, and ends Thursday evening, April
13th. "Passover" is the the first day of the
seven day "Feast Of Unleavened Bread."
To keep the "Passover" is the first commandment
God gave to the children of Israel. He commanded
that it be observed forever as a memorial, "that
thou mayest remember the day when thou camest
forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of
thy life." Deuteronomy 16:3
"And the Lord spake unto Moses, and Aaron in the
land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto
you the beginning of months: it shall be the
first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto
all the congregation of Israel, saying, in the
tenth day of this month they shall take to them
every man a lamb, according to the house of
their fathers, a lamb for an house....And ye
shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the
same month....And they shall eat the flesh in
that night....And thus shall ye eat it; with
your loins girded, and your staff in your hand;
and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's
Passover". Exodus 12:1-11
Apostle Paul admonished the Church of Corinth
with these words, "Purge out therefore the old
leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are
unleavened. For even Christ Our Passover is
sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the
feast, not with old leaven, neither with the
leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the
unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." I
corinthians 5:7-8
Thus, by his crucifixion at the time of the
"Passover", Christ, the "Passover Lamb" became
the final sacrifice for sins of those who would
deny themselves and follow him. "For by one
offering he hath perfected for ever them that
are sanctified." Hebrews 10:14
At the last supper Jesus instituted a new way
for his disciples to commemorate the "Passover".
"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread,and
blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the
disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave
it to them saying, Drink ye all of it; For this
is my blood of the new testament, which is shed
for many for the remission of sins. Matthew
26:26-28
According to the scriptures, this method of
keeping the "Passover" in memory of his death
once a year, was ordained by Jesus Christ
himself.
