Easter Is Not A Holy Day

Easter is not a Holy Day although it is one of the most popular holidays that is observed today by many people around the world. But wait! Have you ever investigated the source of this holiday? We have published information in past articles, showing that Easter has its roots far back in the distant past, many centuries before the birth of the Messiah. It is very important for us to share the real truth about this day because we believe that you really need to know the truth about this holiday. As always, we will let the Bible interpret itself and we humbly ask the Holy Spirit of Almighty Yahweh for guidance as we share this true and faithful message to the nations and to the peoples of this world. May you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear for these words of love and truth. The Bible says, “Sanctify them in the truth: Your word is truth” (John 17:17). May Yahweh bless you for reading this message.

As already mentioned the celebration of Easter is so very popular around the globe that even the small children make little baskets of eggs and replicas of the “Easter bunny” in school, and sing Easter songs while their parents are getting busy decorating the house, buying new clothes, and preparing for a big Easter Sunday dinner. How very shocking it is to witness that all of these pagan rites and customs have been fully shrouded with the accepted veil of contemporary religion. You need to know the name Easter comes from the pagan idol of fertility known as Astarte, Ostera, or Ishtar! It was a season celebrated in the spring of the year, when all of the animals seemed to bear their young ones and the plants were beginning to bud and grow in the field. These ancient people would worship this fertility idol with many deplorable practices which were supposed to make the earth more productive during the year. It was no wonder that the animal selected to symbolize this day is a rabbit—one of the most prolific of all mammals. Another favorite symbol of pagan peoples that was connected to this day was the egg. This symbol again directly represented fertility. In ancient times, eggs were rolled across fields to make them fertile for the year—the ancient source of the Easter Monday egg roll (as is held each year at White House lawn in Washington!)

Furthermore, these ancient fecundity practices were the pagan rites that Yahweh our Elohim found so despicable and abominable in the worship of the Canaanite people; yet they have, for some reason, found their way into Christianity. During Easter day, the rising sun was worshiped—an event that has been carried down to our very time today in the Easter sunrise services. Notice that the Father in heaven Yahweh has condemned the practice of Easter sunrise services! “And he brought me into the inner court of Yahweh’s house; and behold, at the door of the temple of Yahweh, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward the temple of Yahweh, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshiping the sun toward the east” (Ezekiel 8:16). Yes, you have to completely left behind these ancient pagan traditions and rites and do not practice them even only “for the children”! Do not forget that Yahweh has commanded us to teach our children His laws and commandments, not these ancient pagan rites taken from the worship of the nations which had corrupted their way before Yahweh. Remember, Easter is not a Holy Day!

Instead each year, we are to begin the annual Feast Days of the Bible with a sincere period of introspection, a recollection of the journey we are taking from sin and wickedness toward the Kingdom of Yahweh Elohim, which is symbolized by the Feast of Tabernacles. We want you to ask yourself: Have you recently inspected your life? Have you chosen your personal Passover lamb approved by the Most High Yahweh, accepted Yahshua the Messiah’s shed blood to atone for your sins, and removed all the leaven from your life? If you have not yet begun this journey, why not embark upon it today by reading and putting into practice the teachings or preachings that we have for you in this faithful, full-Gospel ministry? We do not and will not ever compromise the truth of the Bible, as we believe the Bible truth do matter a lot! We’ll be pleased to share these priceless informations freely on to you—for we have benevolently received this knowledge from Eternal Yahweh, and we would like to place it in your heart and mind. “…Freely you received, freely give…” (Matthew 10:8). Won’t you take advantage of this opportunity today? Next year—or even tomorrow—could be too late! Our most loving Father in heaven Yahweh wants to bring you into the knowledge of the way to live so that you may be accepted into His very own Holy Family! Do not waste one minute when you could be learning now the Kingdom Way of Life. May Yahweh bless you and keep you and protect you, especially those who are not the hearers only but are doers of His Word. We pray these to Yahweh through Yahshua Messiah our Master and King, Amen. Halleluyah, Shalom!
