Act 17:30
And the times of this ignorance
God winked at;
but now commandeth
all men every where to repent:
The Pagan Origin Of EASTER
Easter is a day that is honored
by nearly all of contemporary Christianity
and is used to celebrate
the resurrection of Jesus Christ
The holiday often involves
a church service at sunrise,
a feast which includes an "Easter Ham",
decorated eggs and stories about rabbits
Those who love truth
learn to ask questions,
and many questions must be asked
regarding the holiday of Easter
Is it truly the day
when Jesus arose from the dead?
Where did all of
the strange customs come from,
which have nothing to do
with the resurrection of our Saviour?
The purpose of this writing
is to help answer those questions,
and to help those who seek truth
to draw their own conclusions
The first thing we must understand
is that professing Christians
were not the only ones
who celebrated a festival
called "Easter"
"Ishtar", which is pronounced "Easter"
was a day that commemorated
the resurrection of one of their gods
that they called "Tammuz",
Tammuz was believed to be
the only begotten son
of the moon-goddess and the sun-god
In those ancient times,
there was a man named Nimrod,
who was the grandson
of one of Noah's sons named Ham
Ham had a son named Cush
who married a woman named Semiramis
Cush and Semiramis
then had a son named him "Nimrod"
After the death of his father,
Nimrod married his own mother
and became a powerful King
The Bible tells us of this man,
Nimrod, in Genesis 10:8-10 as follows:
"And Cush begat Nimrod:
he began to be a mighty one in the earth
He was a mighty hunter before the Lord:
wherefore it is said,
even as Nimrod
the mighty hunter before the Lord
And the beginning of his kingdom
was Babel, and Erech, and Accad,and Calneh,
in the land of Shinar
Nimrod became a god-man to the people
and Semiramis, his wife and mother,
became the powerful Queen of ancient Babylon
Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy,
and his body was cut in pieces and sent to
various parts of his kingdom
Semiramis had all of the parts gathered,
except for one part that could not be found
That missing part was his reproductive organ
Semiramis claimed that Nimrod
could not come back to life without it;
and told the people of Babylon
that Nimrod had ascended to the sun
and was now to be called "Baal", the sun god
Queen Semiramis also proclaimed
that Baal would be present on earth
in the form of a flame,
whether candle or lamp, when used in worship
Semiramis was creating a mystery religion,
and with the help of Satan,
she set herself up as a goddess
Semiramis claimed
that she was immaculately conceived
She taught that the moon was a goddess
that went through a 28 day cycle
and ovulated when full
She further claimed
that she came down from the moon
in a giant moon egg
that fell into the Euphrates River
This was to have happened
at the time of the first full moon
after the spring equinox
Semiramis became known as "Ishtar"
which is pronounced "Easter",
and her moon egg
became known as "Ishtar's" egg"
Ishtar soon became pregnant
and claimed that it was the rays
of the sun-god Baal
that caused her to conceive
The son that she brought forth
was named Tammuz
Tammuz was noted
to be especially fond of rabbits,
and they became sacred in the ancient religion,
because Tammuz was believed
to be the son of the sun-god, Baal
Tammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunter
The day came
when Tammuz was killed by a wild pig
Queen Ishtar told the people
that Tammuz was now ascended
to his father, Baal,
and that the two of them
would be with the worshippers
in the sacred candle or lamp flame
as Father, Son and Spirit
Ishtar, who was now worshipped
as the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven",
continued to build her mystery religion
The queen told the worshippers
that when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig,
some of his blood fell on the stump
of an evergreen tree, and the stump grew
into a full new tree overnight
This made the evergreen tree
sacred by the blood of Tammuz
This would carry over to our Christmas belief-
but it was actually the Son; of the Sun God Baal
who was born on Dec 25th
Jer 10:3
For the customs of the people are vain:
for one cutteth a tree out of the forest,
the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe
Jer 10:4
They deck it with silver and with gold;
they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not
She also proclaimed a forty day period
of time of sorrow each year
prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz
During this time, no meat was to be eaten
Worshippers were to meditate
upon the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz,
and to make the sign of the "T"
in front of their hearts as they worshipped
They also ate sacred cakes
with the marking of a "T" or cross on the top
Every year, on the first Sunday
after the first full moon and
after the spring equinox, a celebration was made
It was Ishtar's Sunday
and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs
Ishtar also proclaimed
that because Tammuz was killed by a pig,
that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday
By now, the readers of this writing
should have made the connection
as to how paganism has infiltrated into
the contemporary "Christian" churches,
and further study indicates
that this paganism came in
by way of the Roman Catholic System
The truth is
that Easter has nothing whatsoever to do
with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ
We also know,
that Easter can be as much as three weeks
away from the Passover,
because this pagan holiday is always set
as the first Sunday after the first full moon
after the spring equinox
Some have wondered
why the word "Easter"
is in the the King James Bible.
It is because
Acts, chapter 12, tells us
that it was the evil King Herod,
who was planning to celebrate Easter,
and not the Christians
The true Passover and pagan Easter
sometimes coincide, but in some years,
they are a great distance apart
We know that the Bible tells us in John 4:24,
God is spirit: and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in truth
The truth is, that the forty days of Lent,
eggs, rabbits,hot cross buns and the Easter ham
have everything to do with the ancient pagan
religion of Mystery Babylon
And they are all, anti-christ activities!!
Satan is a master deceiver, and has filled the lives
of well-meaning, professing Christians with idolatry
These things bring
the wrath of God
upon children of disobedience,
who try to make the pagan
customs of Baal Christian worship
You must answer
for your activities
and for what you
teach your children
These customs of Easter honor Baal,
who is also Satan, and is still worshipped
as the "Rising Sun" and his house is the
"House of the Rising Sun"
How many churches have "sunrise services"
on Ishtar's day and face the rising sun in the East?
What does the true God think about Sun Worship?
Eze 8:16
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 worshipped the sun toward the east
Eze 8:17
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?
Act 17:30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at;
but now commandeth all men every where to repent
take your sins upon himself?
In the garden?
On the cross?
If you do not know the answer to this question-
you will fall at the brightness of his coming
you will not stand before him without sin
you will have died in your sins
Come and read the most awesome
yet almost hidden truth of all truths:
Most Christians will die in their sins

May a special blessing be upon those
who truly do as the Bible teaches:
Prove ALL things and Hold fast that which is good
William
How to have every prayer
that you will ever pray-
answered....Guaranteed!!
First you must know and believe:
Elohim is a Sovereign God,
knowing ALL THINGS
before you even ask and
Eph 1:11
Who works ALL THINGS
after the council of HIS OWN WILL
Jesus himself, revealed an amazing truth
during his most serious moment in prayer
in the garden of Gethsemane after
the last supper with his disciples
Mat 26:36
Then cometh Jesus with them
unto a place called Gethsemane,
and saith unto the disciples,
Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder
Mat 26:37
And he took with him Peter
and the two sons of Zebedee,
and began to be sorrowful and very heavy
Mat 26:38
Then saith he unto them,
My soul is EXCEEDINGLY SORROWFUL,
even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me
Mat 26:39
And he went a little farther,
and FELL ON HIS FACE, and prayed, saying,
O my Father, if it be possible, LET THIS CUP PASS
from me: nevertheless not as I will, BUT AS THOU WILT
Was Jesus sincerely, with all his heart, requesting that
IF AT ALL POSSIBLE "let this cup pass?"
YES, He surely was!!
Did God answer the prayer of Jesus to "let this cup pass?"
NO, He didn’t!!
Yet, did not Jesus get His prayer answered?
YES, He surely did!!
How so?
Because Jesus’ greater desire
was that his Father’s will be done,
rather than "let this cup pass"
Jesus has just shown us
not only the answer to ALL answered prayer
but also the answer to ALL unanswered prayer!!
If you always pray, "not as I will, but as THOU will,"
all of your prayers will be answered too!!
Whether you always get what you desire
or you do not get what you desire,
if your greatest desire of all desires
is for "THY WILL be done,"
then you can rest assured that from this day forward,
all of your prayers will always be answered!!
Elohim's WILL which is his intention for the way
he has already preordained everything to go,
will always be done!!
And believe me,
No prayer has ever changed
what God has planned or purposed to happen
exactly as he preordained and WILLED for it to happen
If it is God’s intention
for you to be blessed by some particular favor,
and God INSPIRES you to pray for that favor
then it will surely be given to you
If on the other hand,
if it was not God’s intention
for you to be blessed by some particular favor,
then no amount of praying
will cause God to grant it to you
Either way, God’s will must and will be done,
and if that is your GREATEST DESIRE in your prayers
then whether you receive some particular favor
or you don’t receive it, nevertheless,
your prayer will be answered!!
1John 5:14
And this is the confidence that we have in him,
that, if we ask any thing
ACCORDING TO HIS WILL,
he heareth us
Rom 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities (weaknesses):
for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession (prayer) for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered
So what should you pray for?
Anything you desire that aligns with God's WILL
If God has blessed you with your physical needs
of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation-
then pray for the qualities of love, mercy, forgiveness,
kindness, gentleness, meekness, faith, courage,
knowledge, understanding, wisdom,
patience, self-control, and thankfulness!!
God is our Father and Jesus is our Saviour
God wants to hear from you!!
Talk to him!!
About anything and everything important enough
for you to think about or be concerned about
And always be thankful!!
At night when you lay down to sleep, spend a few minutes,
and thank God not only for your loved ones;
but even for your pillow, your bed,
the shelter over your head,
your refrigerator, your indoor plumbing,
the water you have to drink
and above all these, the Father who loved you
so far beyond your understanding,
that he sacrificed his only Son
so that you may live and become
his very image and Son/Daughter
