2 WHY IS THE CHRISTIAN EASTER SO BAD?

3 The majority of Christianity today celebrates Easter, but don t know its pagan past

4 Just how bad is it, you may ask? It s bad to the bone, and you are about to find out

5 There are some forty condemnations of Asherah veneration in Scripture

6 most of which are found in Dabarym / Words and Yirmayahu / Jeremiah

7 Worshiping the goddess Asherah / Ashtart / Ishtar is condemned in Yirmayahu / Jeremiah

8 But what about today? The foundation of Christianity, the RCC, call Mary,

9 the Queen of Heaven, which is described in Yirmayahu then and parallels

10 the celebration today for the pagan and mystical roots of the celebration to Ishtar.

11 There was a special significance to destroying everything associated with the worship of Asherah

12 She represents Easter the pagan counterfeit for Passover, Unleavened Bread, and FirstFruits

13 While Asherah was conceived by the Babylonians, and was originally known as Semiramis,

14 she was also worshipped by the Assyrians the very same people who were preparing to destroy Yarushalaim

15 She was later called Ishtar by the Persians

16 The mother-goddess was the consort of Lord / Ba al, the sun god, also known as Satan

17 She was worshiped as Venus (the planet and Roman goddess (who became known as Aphrodite to the Greeks)),

18 which is now called the Morning Star another allusion to Satan

19 Asherah was the supposed source of happiness, something the Yahuwdym had just experienced for real

20 It was said that this goddess was impregnated by rays of the sun (Ba al) on the Sunday nearest the Vernal Equinox

21 (at which time the sun crosses the constellation of Taurus the Bull)

22 Nine months later, she is said to have given birth to the son of the sun on the Winter Solstice

23 Yahowah s Testimony Is Perfect

24 These dates are celebrated today as Easter and Christmas

25 Small cakes, called hot cross buns were eaten in Asherah s honor (angering Yah in Yirmayahuw 7:18):

26 The children (ha benym ) gather and collect the wood (laqat ets ), the fathers light the fire (wa ha ab ba ar ha esh ), and the women manipulate the dough, rolling it in their hands, to make the (wa ishah luwsh batseq la asah ) devotional cakes (kawan a Babylonian word used

27 to describe the small round religious cakes which were used in the worship of Ishtar on Easter) for (la ) the Queen of Heaven (Meleketh ha Shamaym ). By pouring out (wa nacak ) holy drink offerings (necek sacred liquids prepared and consumed as part of a religious ritual on behalf of cast

28 representations of pagan deities) to approach and follow other gods (la acher elohym on behalf of the followers of different and additional gods) and for these reasons (la ma an on this account) they provoke Me to anger (ka ac they increase My displeasure, My sorrow, sadness

29 and grief, annoying Me). Yirmayahuw / Jeremiah 7:18 amplified by anonymous source

30 Incense was burned in religious ceremonies venerating the Queen of Heaven (drawing Yah s wrath in Yirmayahuw 44:22-26:

31 So Yahowah (efei YHWH) could no longer bear it because of the evil of your actions and because of the abominations which you committed. Therefore, your land is a desolation, an astonishment, a curse, and without any inhabitants, as it is this day. Because you have burned incense

32 and because your have sinned against Yahowah, and have not listened to the voice of Yahowah or walked in His Torah, in His conditions, or in His conditions, or in His testimonies, therefore this calamity has happened to you, as this day. Moreover, Yirmayahuw said

33 to all of the people and to the women, Hear the word of Yahowah, all Yahuwdah who are in the realm of the Crucible of Mitsraym. Thus says Yahowah of the assembled spiritual envoys, the God of Yisra el, affirming, You and your wives have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled

34 with your hands, saying, We will surely keep our vows that we have made, burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her. Yirmayahuw / Yah Lifts Up / Jeremiah 44: amplified by anonymous source

35 This example of cause and consequence is one we ought to consider today

36 Any association with the Lord or the Virgin and Child, the Mother of God, or the Queen of Heaven,

37 separates us, damning our relationship with Yahowah.

38 And if we neglect and abandon God to worship and serve manmade counterfeits,

39 Yahowah will neglect and abandon us,

40 leaving us to be plundered and pillaged by the rancorous enemies of the Adversary.

41 Then again, and to an increasing degree (wa yacaph all the more joining in repetitively), the Children of Yisra el (beny Yisra el ) engaged in (la asah acted upon, creating and doing (qal infinitive literally and without regard for specific individuals, place, or time)) that which was

42 absolutely wrong, grievously evil, and horribly troubling (ha ra' that which was distressing, harmful, and immoral, undesirable, worthless, bad, and improper, displeasing, malignant, and disagreeable, corrupt, wicked, and injurious) in the sight (ba ayn in the view and from

43 the perspective and understanding) of Yahowah (efei YHWH) by (wa ) serving and worshiping ( abad eth acting and laboring on behalf of and being reduced to servitude by (qal imperfect)) the Ba alym Lords (ha Ba alym their Lords and Masters, the Adversaries,

44 their Possessor and their Owner, the Ones in Control, the ones to whom they are married and ruled; from ba with and al almighty, and thus with their gods) along with (wa eth everything associated with) the Ashtarts, the Queens of Heaven, the Mothers of God, and the Virgins with Child

45 ( Ashtart the principle pagan mother earth goddess syncretized into the religions of the Philistines, Canaanites, Egyptians, Babylonians, Syrians, and Christians, especially Roman Catholics, also known as Ishtar (Star of Heaven from which Easter got its name), Astarte, Isis, Aphrodite,

46 Venus, and Mary; either the consort or daughter of the Lord, Ba al ; from ashar and ashtarah to become rich by increasing one's flock while taking a tithe), all together with (wa eth ) the gods of ( elohym ) Aram / Syria ( Aram exalting conflict), and with (wa eth ) the gods of

47 ( elohym ) Tsydown / Phoenicia (Tsydown Sidon; from suwd making a game of hunting), and with (wa eth ) the gods of ( elohym ) Mow ab / Moab / Jordan (Mow ab Who is the Contradictory Father Going in the Opposite Direction), and with (wa eth ) the gods of ( elohym )

48 Tsydown / Phoenicia (Tsydown Sidon; from suwd making a game of hunting), and with (wa eth ) the gods of ( elohym ) Mow ab / Moab / Jordan (Mow ab Who is the Contradictory Father Going in the Opposite Direction), and with (wa eth ) the gods of ( elohym ) the sons of (beny )

49 Amown / Arabia ( Amown from ammy Family of Whom), and with (wa eth ) the gods of ( elohym ) the Palishty / Philistines / Palestinians (Palishty foreign invaders who attack, invoking fear, while separating and terrorizing). And thus (wa ) they rejected and abandoned ( azab

50 they forsook and separated themselves from, leaving and deserting, severing their relationship with (qal imperfect)) Yahowah (efei YHWH). They did not work or engage with Him (lo abad they did not expend their energy or intensity in any task associated with Him, never serving

51 or worshiping Him (qal perfect)). Shaphat / To Decide by Exercising Judgment / Judges 10:6 amplified by anonymous source

52 Yahowah s Testimony Is Perfect

53 Need more proof? Compare the symbols of Christianity today with the Babylonian symbols.

54 In Babylon, they used the circle with an arrow emanating from it to represent the sun.

55 The sun, as a circle with a ray, represented by the arrow out to Mother Earth was impregnating

56 her at the festival of Ishtar, celebrated on the Sunday nearest the Vernal Equinox.

57 This historical celebration of the Lord s Day was passed forward as today s Easter Sunday worship.

58 The Christian Easter celebration is based on the Lord s Covenant, which is not Yahowah s Beryth family Covenant!

59 Did Yahowah change or cancel His Beryth family Covenant?

60 No. Read Yahowah s testimony:

61 And I explained I would never break, split into two, violate, make ineffectual, nor nullify My Covenant in association with you ( eth atem ), ever, throughout the whole of time. Shaphat / To Decide by Exercising Judgment / Judges 2:1 amplified by anonymous source

62 Yahowah promised not to nullify the Covenant before Imperial Rome morphed into the RCC.

63 Listen to Yahowah's instruction for assimilating people into religions:

64 You shall not (lo ) cut an agreement (karat make a covenant) with (la on behalf or in accord with) them (hemah speaking to the Canaanites), nor a Covenant (beryth a relationship, alliance, treaty, league, promise, or pledge) with (la ) their gods ( elohym ).

65 Shemowth / Names / Exodus 23:32 amplified by anonymous source

66 And while rabbis, priests, and imams have done this very thing, none have been as bold as Roman Catholics,

67 who based their New Covenant upon the myths and traditions of the Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans

68 allegedly to lure pagans away from the very traditions the Church was emulating.

69 So, why does the Christian Easter go on in the face of the ocean of facts that instruct it s advocates to reject pagan beliefs?

70 Religions like Christianity prevail because their religious schemes associate with those who worship false gods.

71 These types of relationships inevitably lead to myths and misconceptions.

72 Also, religions prevail specifically because they are enticing, but their lure is a trap, one that ensnares souls in Satan s noose:

73 Because (ky ) serving ( abad working for, being reduced to servitude and being enslaved by) their gods ('elohym ) will indeed (ky ) be (hayah exist as) a snare (mowqes trap or noose, that which lures, entices, incapacitates, and injures) to you (la ).

74 Shemowth / Names / Exodus 23:33 amplified by anonymous source

75 Learning from the mistakes made by the elders of Yisra el, we should break the conditioning of religion and their traditions like Easter.

76 SUMMARY Yahowah s Towrah leads to a Familial Covenant of Relationship with God and religious traditions lead to alienation and separation from God. Those who are with Yahowah are seen upright, standing side by side with their Creator and walking beside their Heavenly Father. Those who are alien to God are depicted bowing down before Him in judgment. Stop observing Easter. Read and listen to the following resources:
