The Deception of Celebrating Easter!!!! Or As some call it Resurrection Sunday
John 17
We are walking in today: The Deception of Celebrating Easter!!!! Or As some call it Resurrection Sunday
Witness lie throughout the Bible: H3576 kazab--to lie, tell a lie, deceive
Romans 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Torah: Numbers 23:19
Prophets: Isaiah 58:11; Ezekiel 13:19; Habakkuk 2:3
Writings: 2 Kings 4:16; Job 6:28; Psalm 78:36; Proverbs 14:5, 30:6
1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
John 17:17 Set them apart for holiness by means of the truth — your word is truth.
Giving all honor to El Elyon for the call of coming to know Him and the prayer petitioned unto us from Yeshua. To keep us set apart from the practices and doctrines of this world. For His true Talmididm who follow the same walk, Yeshua demonstrated and taught as a Hebrew unto a Hebrew God. Yeshua continued the practices of His forefather's Feast days that were given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as Moses at Mt. Sinai. Especially written in the Torah. The practices of all the Feast Days (in specific) the world in the Diaspora has been and is celebrating the Passover. In order to find salvation, we must recognize him as the Lamb of Yahweh who takes away the sin of the world, John 1:29. Without Passover, Yahshua could not have fulfilled the Scriptures which pertain to His Messiahship. To reject Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread is to reject Yahshua as the Messiah. Let us look at some of the crucial scriptures that prove this point. First, as the Lamb of Yahweh, Yahshua fulfilled the scriptures regarding the first Passover observance in Egypt. The Passover Lamb of Exodus chapter 12 prophetically points to our Savior as the Lamb of Yahweh. Let us look at this passage and learn how Yahshua fulfilled it. “Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household. If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there is. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat” (Ex. 12:3-4).
Just as the lamb was selected on the 10th day of the month, so the Lamb of Yahweh was selected by the Jews to be their offering on the same day. In Christianity, this is referred to as Palm Sunday. This event actually took place on the weekly Sabbath that preceded the Passover. We read about this in Matthew 21:6-11, “The disciples went and did as Yahshua had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Yahshua sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Most High! Hosanna in the highest!’ When Yahshua entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, ‘Who is this?’ The crowds answered, ‘This is Yahshua, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.’”
The people were totally unaware that they were, in fact, choosing Yahshua as their Passover Lamb. Four days after this occurred some of the same people who heralded Yahshua’s entrance into Jerusalem were crying out for His death. How ironic!
We next learn how the Passover lamb was to be killed on Passover day (Abib 14) and how its blood was to be applied to the lintel and side posts of the door of the house where the lamb was eaten (Ex. 12:5-7). Prophetically this points to Yahshua’s suffering and death on Passover day. Consider Yahshua’s suffering.
John 8:31-32 31 So Yeshua said to the Judeans who had trusted him, “If you obey what I say, then you are really my talmidim, 32 you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Exodus 12:14, 24 14 This will be a day for you to remember and celebrate as a festival to Adonai; from generation to generation you are to celebrate it by a perpetual regulation. 24 You are to observe this as a law, you and your descendants forever.
Yet the church in all its glory continues to uplift and practice pagan holy days without fail. The instructions given in the very word that has much controversy amongst believers in El Elyon argue over what is true and what is false. Yet the Most High even states all through His word to Let El Shaddai be true and every man is a liar. As well as the scripture warning of false doctrines and practices infiltrating the practices of old. The onslaught of Hasatan’s deceptive practices, infiltrating the Kingdom of God. Reformation through Yeshua HaMoshiach.
Romans 3:4 Heaven forbid! God would be true even if everyone were a liar!
2 Peter 3:17-18 17 But you, dear friends, since you know this in advance, guard yourselves; so that you will not be led away by the errors of the wicked and fall from your own secure position. 18 And keep growing in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Deliverer, Yeshua the Messiah. To him be the glory, both now and forever! Amen.
Where and why did the church err from the practices of The Most High? The interesting fact that the Moedim of the Most High when carefully studied and observed. Plain and simple leads to the plan of salvation directing the observer and followers of the Holy Feast Days to the life death of Yeshua and the power he gives to His children to understand salvation to the letter. Just as the observance of Easter gives an example to the observer points to its pagan origins of demonic paganistic worship. The History of Ishtar as the goddess of fertility and the Mother of her own son’s baby in gross parallel with the immaculate conception of Yeshua. Can be traced back to the first civilization under Babylon into Assyria and Chaldea. Picked up and implemented in the Roman Catholic Church and somehow from 1000s of years of the early followers of Yeshua and His Passover. To Easter (Ishtar) I’m still trying to figure out what does a rabbit have to do with laying eggs? The facts speak for themselves. The Easter celebration has more to do with pagan fertility rites than it does with Yahshua’s death and resurrection as the Son of Yahweh.
Excerpts from the Catholic encyclopedia:
Catholic Encyclopedia in the article “Easter.” “Because the use of eggs was forbidden during Lent, they were brought to the table on Easter Day, colored red to symbolize the Easter joy. This custom is found not only in the Latin but also in the Oriental Churches. The symbolic meaning of a new creation of mankind by J-sus rose from the dead was probably an invention of later times. The custom may have its origin in paganism, for a great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter.” Concerning the Easter rabbit, the Catholic Encyclopedia says in the same article: “The Easter Rabbit lays the eggs, for which reason they are hidden in a nest or in the garden. The rabbit is a pagan symbol and has always been an emblem of fertility” (Simrock, Mythologie, 551).
2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
Now I can remember when I was I the church and folks would say well we bring the bunny and egg hunt for the children. I would advise you to study the worship of Ishtar and the children. Yet the other wise known sayings as to the worship of Easter instead of the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread. Was because Jesus/Yeshua rose on the third day.
Nowhere in the Scriptures exists a command or example for observing the Savior’s resurrection. He indeed was slain, buried and resurrected, but it is not a matter to be celebrated after the ways of the pagans. The resurrection is not justification for devising our own observance, nor is it grounds for Sunday worship. There are, however, clear mandates for observing the day of His death.
The Scriptural way we remember the Savior’s resurrection is through our own baptism. Paul wrote in Romans 6:3-5: “Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Yahshua the Messiah were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Messiah was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so, we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection. “As well as the day of resurrection we study and know that the Hebrew day begins and ends at sundown. Not from midnight to midnight, the pagan way once again. In Luke 23:54 the statement “and the Sabbath drew on” obviously means that it was close to sundown. The same can be said about Matthew 28:1, “as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week.” Once again, this would refer to sundown. That being the case, Yahshua was resurrected when the earthquake took place at the end of the weekly Sabbath and not Sunday morning at sunrise.
This is very significant because it further proves that we must observe the Days of Unleavened Bread. Concerning Yahshua’s resurrection, we read in 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, “But Messiah has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Messiah, all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Messiah, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.”
The Messiah is the first of the firstfruits of the resurrection from the dead. As such, by being resurrected at the end of the weekly Sabbath, He was presented to Almighty Yahweh as the first fruit wave sheaf. The wave sheaf of cut barley was waved, as an offering, by the priest on the day after the weekly Sabbath which fell during the Days of Unleavened Bread.
Genesis 1:1-5, 8, 13, ect.. 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was unformed and void, darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. So there was evening, and there was morning, one day. 8 and God called the dome Sky. So there was evening, and there was morning, the second day. 13 So there was evening, and there was morning, a third day.
