EASTER
A colorful egg laying rabbit, Easter egg hunts, Sunrise Service at Church, Hot Crossed Buns and Easter Ham; where does all this come from and does it have anything to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ?
Genesis 10:8-9 speaks of a descendant of Noah through Ham and Canaan, named Nimrod. He became the first world ruler, pagan priest and demi-god. Apocryphal literature (Jasher 7:23-33) has Nimrod dishonestly obtaining Adam’s animal skin garment ADONAI made him after Adam and Eve fell, tasting the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. This divinely made cloak was considered to have magical powers and whoever possessed it had the right to rule.
Satan is the Father of Lies (John 8:44), and thus is the great counterfeiter. Satan tries to imitate and pervert everything God does. In this instance Nimrod, his wife (and also actually his mother), Simiramus (later known in Babylon as; Ishtar, where we get the word Easter from), and their son Tammuz becomes the counterfeit holy family and or trinity. Nimrod, Simiramus and their subjects, considered them to be gods. For you see, you have God the Father, the Holy Spirit, which grammatically is in the feminine in gender and represents the feminine aspects of God, and Yeshua the Son, the REAL Godhead and trinity.
Nimrod was eventually killed by his enemies and cut into pieces and was sent to various parts of the kingdom. Simiramus collected all the pieces, except his genitals which could not be found. This is why the phallic associations and symbols are so prominent and important in pagan religions. Seeing as all the body parts was not accounted for, he thus could not be resurrected and so she told the people that Nimrod ascended to heaven and became known as Baal the sun god. Simiramus (Ishtar) eventually became the moon goddess, the Queen of Heaven (Jer. 7:18, 44:17), and Tammuz their son, whom she claimed to have had of miraculous conception by rays of the sun god, her dead husband Nimrod/Baal. Tammuz was later to be considered Nimrod reincarnated and became a type of false messiah, a god-man. Tammuz followed in his father’s footsteps and became a hunter but was killed by a wild boar and he too was deified, seeing as he could not be resurrected. Tammuz’s blood was said to have fallen on some evergreen stumps and they grew into full evergreen trees overnight and these trees have become a phallic symbol in this religion and this carries over into Christmas as we shall see later on. The people commemorated Tammuz’s demise by a 40 day fasting and weeping (Ezk. 8:14) which is now known as Lent. 40 days later on a Sunday they would rise early dressed in brand new white garments to face the sun as it rose. This is where buying new Easter outfits and Sunrise Service originated. During their worship of Tammuz, they would make the sign of the cross (a “T”) across their heart, and make cakes with a cross (“T”) marked on them, and this is where we get the hot crossed buns. On this day, Sunday, the day of the sun god Nimrod/Baal/Tammuz, then a consumption of a wild boar took place in retaliation for what the boar had done to their beloved god-man Tammuz. This is where we get the tradition of the Easter Ham from. Besides, Jesus was a Jew who never ate pork in His life, and if we are truly celebrating His resurrection, isn’t it kind of a slap in His face to eat ham on that day!? We have already clearly established in Get Back to the First Century that the dietary laws have not been done away with. Think about it.
Ishtar (Simiramus) being the moon goddess claimed the 28 day cycle of the moon represented her ovulation cycle and that she descended to the earth from the moon in an egg on the first full moon of the spring equinox. This became known as Ishtar’s egg, and this is where we get Easter eggs. Tammuz was said to be fond of rabbits and this is where the Easter bunny comes in. Where we get the colored eggs is later, when the religion Nimrod and Simiramus created evolved, the priests of this cult would dip eggs in the blood of sacrificed children. These eggs would then be hidden all around and if a golden egg was found during the hunt, the one who found it was said to have the favor of the goddess Ishtar upon them and they would be granted a special blessing by her. This is where we get Easter Egg hunts and their treats from.
Ishtar became a fertility cult in which the rabbit became the symbol of, due to it being one of the fastest and most reproducing animals around. The image and idols of Ishtar is a multi-breasted goddess, further denoting her motherhood and fertility.
Catholicism has taken this pagan Nimrodic and Babylonian religion and made it their own, just changing the names to God, Mary and Jesus. The parallels are all too obvious. Sadly, we see Protestant Christianity, which broke off from the Catholic Church, took this celebration and the various traditions thereof with them and still practice them today.

“We freethinkers can show that the holidays mean more than just their names by reminding our Christian friends and loved ones to keep Eostre in Easter.
This is “our” holiday, to signify our beloved Germanic Paganist goddess of fertility Eostre as we celebrate the Spring Equinox and the bountiful crops with signs of fertility and rabbits.”
So as you can plainly see, Passover and Easter are two totally separate religious holidays that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. You cannot take something so satanic as Easter and simply attach Christian meaning to its symbolism and it be okay to celebrate in the eyes of God. This is the highest form of treason and idolatry (spiritual adultery) for which Israel was punished and exiled for (Deut. 28).
I do pray you will be brave and bold enough to swim against the religious and cultural current and peer pressure and reject this counterfeit religious holiday in favor of celebrating the Divinely Appointed Holy Day of Passover, the true celebration of Yeshua’s death and resurrection.
