Easter

Easter

Easter is a day that is honored by today’s Christians and is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The holiday often involves a church service at sunrise, a feast , decorated eggs and stories about rabbits.
The modern spelling of Easter can only be found once in the Bible.

Acts 12: 1: “Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.”
2: “And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.”
3: “And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4: “And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.”
Easter has been celebrated by pagan idol worshippers and can be found in the Old Testament but only under it’s original Canaanite spelling “Ashtaroth”. Some times spelled Ashtoreth or Astarte . Later spelled “Ishtar” pronounced “Easter”.

1 Samuel 7: 3: “And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

1 Samuel 12: 10: “And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.”

Ashtoroth (Easter) is both the goddess of fertility and the moon goddess. This idol is often portrayed as a standing female with open arms and numerous breasts (eggs) as symbols of fertility, and a turret crown. She became known as Diana of the Ephesians in which Paul and the Disciples of Christ instructed the Israelites of Ephesus not to worship, read Acts 19.
The goddess of fertility with the numerous breasts later became depicted as a fertile rabbit with numerous eggs symbolizing life and resurrection. Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made. It was Ashtoroth Sunday (Easter Sunday) and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs.

Ashtoroth Sunday was the day of life and resurrection and thus is changed into Easter Sunday the day Christ resurrected from the dead and incorporated into Christianity. Today families and churches throughout the world have been deceived into believing they honor the resurrection of Christ and color and play Easter Egg games complete with rabbits.

We are warned in 2 Corinthians 6:17 “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
