PASSOVER & EASTER

Let’s continue to explore this concept of the LORD’s mo’ed  Or Appointed Times.

I want to use Easter as an example.

My purpose is not to offend anyone, nor to diminish my LORD’s crucifixion and resurrection, BUT rather to allow the scriptures to magnify the event AS GOD had ORDAINED!

There is MUCH controversy surrounding the origins of Easter.

Here is what we do know:

Easter

• Has its PAGAN roots in Eostre the Teutonic goddess of Spring – hence:
• Easter Bunnies
• Easter Eggs
• All signs of spring and fertility

• Unfortunately, there is no reason to “re-name” what YHVH has already ordained back in Leviticus 23

–        namely that our Messiah was crucified on Passover

–        Buried on Unleavened Bread

–        Raised on First Fruits.

• Please see my blog on Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits for specific scriptural support.

Easter is the Celebration of PASSOVER, and we should call it as such!

Let’s be careful not to replace the LORD’s [YHVH] instructions with the tradition of men.

JESUS speaking in regards to traditions of men and their doctrines

• Matthew 15 : 6 – 7
• Isaiah 29 : 13
• Mark 7 : 8
• Colossians 2 : 8

JESUS encourages Us to look to the Hebrew scriptures, not so we can become “Jews” but so we can truly understand the GLORY of JESUS!

• Matthew 23 : 2
• Matthew 5 : 17
• Luke 24 : 27

In our attempt to “include” everyone WE have “excluded” the ONE that matters most!

WE say that’s not HOW I understand “EASTER”, but I say that is the exact spirit of Babylon.

• A spirit of dedication to our “selves” rather than devotion to our GOD and our KING

Although We are a NEW creation we still have OLD thoughts and habits

In these last days, we need to make sure we are not compromising the WORD for the world.
