2 Corinthians 6.14-17 KJV.

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

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.


Stay away from the heathen ways of worship, saith Yahweh. Jeremiah 10.2; Deut. 12.30, 18.9-12, 20.18. -

This means, do not copy them, imitate them, replace them. Pull down that strong hold of beloved traditions.

In the next life, you will not be celebrating Easter. You will be celebrating Passover. Get a head start NOW. Blessings await for you in this life and definitely in the next.

Don't listen to that your 'pastor' or whatever self title they give themselves in making excuses for pagan roots of Isthar. Celebrating death or resurrection of 'false Christ' does not replace its pagan origin. NOR did Christ ask you to celebrate HIS death and resurrection.


You won't celebrate what HE asked you to (Passover), but you will celebrate Man made one. And on top of that, it was an attempt to copy pagans. WOE! WOE!! WOE!!! TO THE MOTHER OF BABYLON.

Re-packaging pagan goods in a Christian wrapper does not make it Christian. It is still pagan inside. In the same manner that you cannot re-package goat meat in a chicken meat wrapper and call it chicken; it is still goat meat inside.

You can dress a wolf in sheep’s fur, but inside, it is still a wolf. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig. Stripping a Zebra of its stripes hasn’t turned him in a lion, he is still a Zebra by nature. A rose by any other name is still a rose.
Don’t listen to those who tell you otherwise that it is harmless celebration.

HaShem hates mixing and mingling light and dark; unclean and clean; for how can you partake of the LORD’s table and of the devil at same time. How can you drink of the LORD’s cup, and then of the cup of the devil. YOU CANNOT MIX BOTH PAGAN AND CHRISTIANITY.

IF the whole world is celebrating these holidays, it is a big clue to you that you should pause and ponder if the secular world would truly celebrate or participate in something biblically approved. The answer is NO. They would not lest their consciences would be truly pricked.

The world is comfortable celebrating 'Easter' because even unbelievers know Easter has very little to do with Christ and everything to do with its Pagan roots. THIS is what they are celebrating and why they don't have problems with Easter.

If the secular world is celebrating "Easter", True Christians should automatically get a check in their spirit that something is NOT quite right.



In times past, haShem winked at our ignorance, now HE is requiring all men to repent……Acts 17:30-31. If you have been enlightened, there’s greater accountability and thus greater judgement. To him who knew HIS Master’s will but did not do, incurs greater punishment than one who did not know HIS Master’s will. Luke 12:47-49.

Have nothing to do with unfruitful works of darkness. You have been called apart, be you separate from them; touch not unclean thing, and I will receive you. Flee from Babylon that you do not partake of her plagues.

Fiscus105:
If you know you can't fight almighty God and win, but keep on pushing hard, you shall destroy irreparable.

What exactly is your point? If you mean fighting your pagan holiday, sir, you simply must be talking about another god. NOT My Yahweh of Avraham, Yitzhak and Yaakov. For this GOD most definitely sent me on a mission to fight the worship of ancient pagan rituals. THE SAME THAT HE DENOUNCED IN THE OLD TESTAMENTS BY THE SPIRIT OF THE PROPHETS.

SIR, IT'S THE SAME IDOLS ASHTORET, BAAL, MOLOCH= EASTER OF TODAY CALLED BY ANOTHER NAME TODAY. DIFFERENT NAMES, SAME DEVILS.



You have a choice to persist stubbornly in your beliefs that Isthar is cool, however, you have been enlightened, such that my hand is clean of your blood on judgement day. And, you, you will answer for what you did or did not do with the enlightenment you received.

Don't listen to that your 'pastor' or whatever self title they give themselves in making excuses for pagan roots of Isthar. Celebrating death or resurrection of 'false Christ' does not replace its pagan origin. NOR did Christ ask you to celebrate HIS death and resurrection.

CHRIST DIDN'T DIE ON FRIDAY. ANOTHER CHRIST DID, THE SAME FOR WHICH THIS PAGAN EASTER IS FASHIONED.


Question: If Christ said as Yonah was in the belly of whale for 3 days and 3 nights, so will son of Man be in the heart of earth for 3 days and 3 nights. Matt 12.40. Because IF HE truly died Friday, that would give us 2 days and 2 nights. And if according to scripture, HIS body was taken down on *preparation day which is Friday before sundown in Hebrew time, that can only mean one thing; HE was already dead even before Friday.

Short answer (grade school level):
Christ our Passover Lamb was crucified and died on Passover day, the 14th on the 5th day of the week (Thursday), and rose again as our first fruits on 1st day (Sunday) which gives us 3 days and 3 nights.

Note: *It's called 'preparation' day because according to law of Sabbath, NO work whatsoever is allowed on Sabbath (Saturday) and ALL work for Saturday is to be 'performed' on Friday; hence 'preparation' day*.

*For further info on when Christ did, check out my other post titled "Good friday? Pagan + wrong day = another Christ.

MaxInDHouse:
Most people hate the truth but it must be told to serve as a witness against them {Matthew 24:14} true Christians don't celebrate pagan festivals.

Truth is not popular. Truth stings. This has always been the case since time immemorial.

I tend to agree, true believers whose eyes and hearts has been opened will not willingly celebrate these pagan derived holidays.

I am convinced most so called "Christians" know of these pagan roots of their favourite holidays, most just do not care nor are bothered, which is extremely sad.

** Why Wednesday is less likely the day of Christ's death.

From scripture, we know certainly that HE was alive by Sunday morning when the women visited the grave. By prophesy (and logic) of 3 days and 3 nights, and HIS body being down by Friday evening, THEN, we know Christ couldn't have died Friday. So, question is between Wednesday and Thursday, which fits better the prophesy and overall counsel of Scripture?!

*see below for more information on 'first-fruits'.

Short answer:

If HE died Wednesday, It makes HIS resurrection on a Sabbath which violates Sabbath law AND it fails to fulfill Christ being our ‘First-fruits’ offering. First-fruits is one of the 7 feasts of the LORD that begins sundown Sabbath right after Passover. Sundown Sabbath = Sunday in Gregorian time. Therefore, Christ most likely arose on 1st day ( Sunday) as our first-fruits offering to the LORD.

Long answer:

Some westerners think Wednesday gives full 3 days and 3 nights. The problem is they are using Gregorian time; and thus are counting in literal full 24 hours. Remember Hebrew calendar counts a day as 12 hours. In counting Wednesday, a few issues emerge.

1. If HE died Wednesday, this would mean Christ rose on Sabbath day; which would mean violating the Sabbath law that requires complete resting. It makes sense the LORD of the Sabbath would ‘rest’ FULL Sabbath day as required. Remember, Christ was born under the law, lived under law, died under the law, so, HE resurrected also under the law. HE had to ‘fulfil’ the law completely to be able to lift us out of the curse of the Law.

2. And pray tell, what do you suppose our LORD and Master would be doing up from Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning when the women saw an empty grave? What exactly would HE be doing from Friday night to Sunday morning? That's about 15-20 hours of twiddling thumb inside smelly grave. HE could not have gone to heaven, because HE told Mary, ‘do not touch me, for I have not gone up to the Father’. HE most certainly wasn’t walking about the streets or keeping busy doing anything useful as that would be again, violating sabbath. And on Sabbath in those days, everything is closed, and everyone is resting at home.

Therefore, the most likely conclusion is that HE died Thursday afternoon, arose Sunday early morning, and women find HIM up and about the grave by early morning (say 5 or 6 am).

3. HE must have arisen on Sunday morning indeed because scripture says that Christ is the ‘first-fruits’ of those who rise from the dead. First-fruits is one of the festival and requires yearly pilgrimage to Jerusalem. According to scripture, first-fruits is celebrated the following day (1st day= Sunday) after last Sabbath of Passover. *See below for detail more on First-fruit*

BTW: what is first-fruit?

It is found in Leviticus 23:10-11, one of the appointed and ordained feasts of the LORD. Also one of the 3 annual pilgrimages when all male carry their first-fruit offering- which is first sheaf of harvest of barley season; and they travel to temple in Jerusalem for this feast. The priests take up the first-fruit offering and 'wave' them before the LORD and it is accepted.

When is it celebrated? The feast of first-fruit begins immediately following the sundown of last Sabbath of Passover (which begins another day= Sunday).

So for Passover 2025 which began Sundown April 12th, ends April 20th. So, the feast of First fruit begins Sundown 19th (=Saturday) and ends sundown April 20th (=Sunday). The people start gathering in Jerusalem Sundown 6th day, Friday, and by 7th day Sunday morning, the priests wave the offering to the LORD.

This means, Christ died yesterday at 3p April 17th and arose Sunday morning April 20th. . If it were 2000+ years ago.

Symbolically the first-fruit foreshadowed Christ who was our First-fruit, who when HE died and ascended to heaven 'waved' HIMSELF in front of Yahweh, and was accepted. It only makes sense that HE arose very early 7th day Sunday morning, and 'waved' HIMSELF before the LORD to suit the first-fruit ordinances which HE foreshadowed just as HE died on Passover.

I will keep this explanation as simple, painless and non-convoluted as possible. Bear with me. It's worth it.

Question: If Christ said as Yonah was in the belly of whale for 3 days and 3 nights, so will son of Man be in the heart of earth for 3 days and 3 nights. Matt 12.40. Because IF HE truly died Friday, that would give us 2 days and 2 nights. And if according to scripture, HIS body was taken down on *preparation day which is Friday before sundown in Hebrew time, that can only mean one thing; HE was already dead even before Friday.

*It's called 'preparation' day because NO work whatsoever is allowed on Sabbath (Saturday) and ALL work for Saturday is to be 'performed' on Friday; hence 'preparation' day*.

The question then is: WHEN did HE die? If it isn't Friday by scripture, and logic, so It’s either Wednesday or Thursday. I provide answers in short version, intermediate version and long version. Pick your style.


Short answer (grade school level):
Christ our Passover Lamb was crucified and died on Passover day, the 14th on the 5th day of the week (Thursday), and rose again as our first-fruits on 1st day (Sunday) which gives us 3 days and 3 nights.

Intermediate answer (bachelor’s level):
Yeshua died on Pesach feast the 14th at 3p on Thursday, which counts as day 1 and night 1. Friday: day 2 and night 2. Saturday: day 3 and night 3. Sunday: arose at some point on this 3rd day, and women found grave empty early morning, likely by 6am. Remember per Hebrew calendar day and night are in 12 hour inclement, therefore, Sunday morning is still the third day. Thursday (by 3p according to scripture) is the most likely, most sensible, most biblical sound day.

There’s another theory of ‘Wednesday’, being a possible day of HIS death. Wednesday is less likely the day HE died. See explanation next post for why Wednesday is less likely**.

Long answer (master’s level):
First thing to understand, Hebrew time keeping is lunar and not solar (Gregorian/western time). Thus, in Hebrews, another day begins at sundown; and a day is 12 hours, and a night is 12 hours (John 11.9). Yeshua most likely spoke of HIS death using Yahweh’s method of time keeping and not man’s invention. I can’t imagine that HE would die violating HIS words and Yahweh’s own instituted timing. And if that is so, then HE could not have died on Friday. For if HE died on Friday, this would only result in 2 days (maybe 2.5 days) and 2 nights. Friday doesn’t pass Gregorian time, and certainly didn’t pass Hebrew time. However, to get prophesied 3 days and 3 nights, HE must have died on Thursday rather.

The account of Mark followed by Luke were the clearest of the timeline surrounding the crucifixion. Yeshua was crucified in the 3rd hour (9a); and darkness covered the land from the 6th hour (12 n) to the 9th hour (3p); then at 9th hour (3p), Yeshua gave up the ghost. So, from the time crucified to time of death was 6 hours. To get 3 days and 3 nights, Yeshua must have died on Thursday 3p, 14th , day of Passover. Last supper was sundown 14th.

Therefore, according to Mark: Yeshua was taken down preparation day, which is before sunset Friday. This is yet another reason why HE could not have died Friday: if HIS body was taken down on preparation day which will make it Friday.

If Yeshua died 3pm, and sun sets at 9p, then 3p-9p 5th day is counted 6 hours of 12 hour day, so half a day. 9p Thursday begins Friday, so 9p thurs to 9p Friday= 24 hours. And even though another day begun at sundown, But 12 hours out that is night (9p-9a) and then the rest (9a-9p) is daytime. So, we have now: .5 (thurs) day + 1 (thurs) night + 1 (fri) day= 1.5 days and 1 night. 9p Friday day begins Saturday, so 9p Friday to 9p Saturday = 24 hours. But 12 hours (9p-9a) is (fri) night and (9a-9p) is (sat) day. So, we have 2.5 days and 2 nights. 9p Saturday begins Sunday, so 9p Saturday to 9a Sunday = 12 hours= 3rd night (sat night); and also begins the 3rd day (the other .5 of the 3rd day).

Coming next:

IF Christ said HE would be dead for ‘3 days and 3 nights’ as Jonah in whale’s gut, and we know HE rose by Sunday morning, how then could HE have died Friday?

Quick answer: HE didn’t die Friday. How befitting. Easter: pagan festival + wrong 'death' day = "another Christ". Wow. MIND BLOWN. Isn't devil tricky motherfurer....?!

Long answer: coming next. Stay tuned.

Thank you, click again.

The different names & faces of pagan Easter thru time and place……as they say, “a rose by any other name…..is still a rose”. Or as I say, “different time, different name, same demon.

Hausos (Indo-European)= Ushas= Isis (Egyptian)= Ishtar (Mesopotamia, Assyrians)= Tammuz (Babylonians, Syrians)= Inanna (Sumerians)= Aushtra= Ashtoreth= Astarte(Phoenicians, Canaanites) =Eástre= Eostre(German)= Eos (Greeks)= Easter (Romans)


Stay away from the heathen ways of worship, saith Yahweh. Jeremiah 10.2; Deut. 12.30, 18.9-12, 20.18.

Righteousness2:
CELEBRATE THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF THE KING OF Kings AND LORD OF lord's, JESUS CHRIST and wit all theseNknsense hullabaloo shenanigans that have absolute nothing to Benefit you here on Earth or in Eternity.

I get that. But, you have to admit tho, none of it has biblical foundations. And it why adopt a celebration that has pagan roots, but disregard the celebration in which Yahweh mandated, authorized and instituted?!

Is that not rebellion and what Yeshua criticized religions leaders for 'picking man's traditions (celebrations, teachings, practices) over Yahweh's commandments.

"You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates..." Deut. 12.31.

You tell me, is it not better to choose Yahweh's own rather than man-made and even worse pagan derived celebrations?!

So, Easter festival is biblical after all? Uh, not so fast. While Easter celebration as it is known today in nowhere in New Testament, however, surprisingly, Easter traditions and its paraphernalia are mentioned in the Hebrew scriptures (aka ‘Old Testament’), and that the festival Ishtar (Easter) has been celebrated many centuries and in many cultures before Christianity adopted it? Hold your horses though, it ain’t good. At all.

In fact, several passages in the Hebrew Scriptures contain fascinating and eerily accurate descriptions of what is practiced today as ‘Easter’ in Christianity along with all its associated ‘paraphernalia’. Oh yes, read on……

Wait, what are ‘Easter’ paraphernalia? Glad you asked: The cakes and buns, egg hunting, the rabbits, the Easter ham, and the 40 days of lent and the easter sun rise services? All these were associated with the ancient pagan ritual of Ishtar.


But but but….the word "Easter" is mentioned in New Testament in Acts 12.4. Yes, a horrible and atrocious mistranslation (perhaps intentionally) found mainly in King James Bible. The Greek word is pascha (from Hebrew word: Pesach) is correctly translated as “Passover,” and is found 28 other times throughout the New Testament and 29 times in the Greek Old Testament.

Ok. Fine. But where is easter in Old Testament?! Glad you asked.

Easter (pagan) festivals in OT: Jeremiah 7:17-18, 44:15-19 & Ezekiel 8:13-16. Now, let’s go thru this bit by bit.

#1: Queen of heaven=Levantine’s Ashtoreth= Mesopotamia’s Ishtar = Rome’s Easter.

#2: Cakes & buns: Jeremiah 7:17-18 “The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke Me” The prophet condemns the Israelites for making “cakes” in worship of Ishtar-Astarte, the “queen of heaven.” According to Encyclopedia Britannica, of the most ubiquitous Easter traditions is the baking of bread-cakes, or “hot cross buns”? The Encyclopedia Britannica. Is this a coincidence? I think not.

#3. Easter egg & bunny: The Catholic Encyclopedia, for its part, notes that the Easter egg “custom is found not only in the Latin but also in the Oriental Churches … [and is] probably an invention of later times. The custom may have its origin in paganism, for a great many pagan customs, celebrating the return of spring, gravitated to Easter”

#4. Easter fires & burning incense: Alongside the cakes, another tradition mentioned in this same verse (Jeremiah 7:18, 44:15-19) is the kindling and burning of fires in honor of Astarte/Ishtar. This too, curiously enough, is another famous Easter tradition—the burning of large “Easter fires”— as with baking of cakes and buns, is nowhere in the New Testament in relation to Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection. Of Easter fires, the Catholic Encyclopedia admits that “this is a custom of pagan origin in vogue all over Europe…..

#5. Weeping for Tammuz: the seasonal death and regrowth of vegetation, mythologized into the “death” of Dumuzi, Inanna’s grief and weeping for him, and his “rebirth.” The Prophet Ezekiel denounced Israelite women for this practice. “[The Lord] said also unto me: ‘Thou shalt again see yet greater abominations which they do.’ Then He brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz” (Ezekiel 8:13-14).

#6. Sunrise easter service: Ezekiel goes on: “And He brought me into the inner court of the Lord’s house, and behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east” (verse 16).

Again, is it just coincidence to find a similar practice in modern Easter worship—the “sunrise service”? These customs of Easter honor Baal and is still worshipped as the "Rising Sun" and his house is the "House of the Rising Sun." How many churches have "sunrise services" on Ishtar´s day and face the rising sun in the East? According to Philip Schaff’s History of the Church: ‘This tradition has a service take place outside on Easter Sunday, facing East to observe the rising sun. As summarized in Philip Schaff’s History of the Church’.

Christianity’s Syncretism & Modern day Baal worship. The Ishtar (Easter) festival.

History of Ishtar celebration: *Pay attention to the highlighted & compare to today's 'Easter' paraphernalia*.

The word Easter originated from “Ishtar”; pronounced "Easter", a pagan festival that commemorated the resurrection a god named "Tammuz", who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun-god. This god ‘Tammuz’ was even alluded to in the book of Ezekiel; the abomination in the temple where ‘women were weeping for Tammuz’.

This mythology of Tammuz goes back to Nimrod in Genesis, who was the grandson of one of Noah´s son named Ham. After the death of his father, Nimrod married his own mother, Semiramis and became a powerful King. Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy, and his body was cut in pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom.

Semiramis claimed that Nimrod could not come back to life without it and told the people of Babylon that Nimrod had ascended to the sun and was now to be called "Baal", the sun god.

Semiramis sets herself up as a goddess that came down from the moon in a giant moon egg. Semiramis became known as "Ishtar" which is pronounced "Easter", and her moon egg became known as "Ishtar´s" egg." Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that it was the rays of the sun-god Baal that caused her to conceive. The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz.


Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, and they became sacred in the ancient religion, because Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun-god, Baal. Then one day, Tammuz who was a hunter got killed by a wild pig. Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz ascended to his father, Baal.

Ishtar was worshipped as the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven". Jeremiah the prophet condemned Israel for this.

She also proclaimed a forty day period of time of sorrow ('lent') each year prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz.. Ezekiel the prophet spoke of this as abomination.

They also ate sacred cakes with the marking of a "T" or cross on the top.. Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made. Jeremiah the prophet condemned Israel for this.

It was Ishtar´s Sunday and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs. . Ishtar also proclaimed that because Tammuz was killed by a pig, that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday.


In ancient Roman empire, this pagan mythology was heavily entrenched in Roman culture, life and religion. And as emperor Constantine became a christian, eventually sought to Christianize pagans in an attempt to convert pagan by celebrating death of Christ (or birth in Christmas), to replace the pagan festivals of Ishtar. And hence the development of “Easter” as Christian. The truth is that the origins of Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

There you have it. Evidence. Easter = pagan celebration masquerading as 'Christian'. Is not satan the great deceiver something awful? The LORD is not amused one bit.

Judgement is coming one day. Flee from Babylon lest you partake of her plagues and be judged for them. Leave these paganized days. They are not of the LORD.

Dan, at age 42, you recently went for routine lab, and they found on your lab tests that certain marker for kidney function (GFR it’s called) is quite low. Meaning, your kidney isn’t functioning optimally. You are yet to undergo workup and evaluation for possible causes for your current condition. There’s even talk of kidney failure and needing dialysis and possible transplant in the future if things worsen.

As can be imagined, all this has taken emotional toll, along with sleepless nights. But fret not, the LORD is here to heal. That dire forecasting and prognosis they are giving you shall not be. In 6 months when you go back for re-testing, they will find your GFR has suddenly and mysteriously corrected itself. Amen.

Someone here named Karen suffers agoraphobia; which developed after certain childhood trauma. Almost like PTSD. You were left in a sauna, or rather locked in a sauna for a brief period of time. It was traumatic enough to have induced more permanent anxiety state. Now, even as young adult, you experience debilitating anxiety when in certain places, situations and circumstances. It seems the condition is worsening. It has made life unbearable as the condition stifles living fully.

You have tried certain secular behavioral therapy to cope and manage, but to minimal effectiveness. You also went to Christian counselling for which they gave you certain tools along with prescription to recite bible passages. It hasn’t really worked. You see, decreeing and declaring bible passages like magical incantation as if the words themselves have power is of no effect. It’s a pointless exercise.

Contrary to common misconception, Power is NOT in ‘the word of God’ (in scripture), the power is in the ‘GOD of the Word. Power lies in the hands of the ONE who spoke those words and who is the Word. This is that which was meant, ‘in the beginning was the Word, and that Word was GOD’. You look to the ONE who spoke those the Words.

That power is available and still heals. Not with fancy speech of man’s eloquence, for the gospel is not in mere words but in demonstration of power. And when there’s power, you need not many words. And thus by the power of the Spirit of the Living Yahweh and in the Name of Yeshua of Nazareth, “be loosed from your infirmity and live”. Amen.

It is day 2 of Passover but why do Christians not celebrate “biblical” Passover but keep “pagan” Ishtar (easter)?.

Passover is one of 7 Moedims (appointed times) of the LORD found in Vayikra (Leviticus 23). None of it includes Easter (nor Christmas, birthdays and Halloweens). Yet these are what Christianity celebrates; holidays with heavily entrenched pagan foundations. *Tragic*.

What is Pesach (Passover) and Its significance in the New Covenant?

Passover: first instituted in Exodus 12. Why? TO commemorate deliverance from Egyptian’s bondage. Lamb slain and blood put on door post, no leaven to be found anywhere in house.

How is it celebrated? For 7 days beginning originally in first month of Aviv. However, after Babylonian exile, Yahweh’s time got 'Babylonised' and Passover now celebrated in the month of Nissan. Lamb slain on first day, then unleavened bread continued from day 2 thru 7. No work on 7th day.

What is its Significance: deliverance from sin; Christ our perfect korban lamb whose blood was slain and bought our redemption/deliverance from bondage of sin.. Traditionally, on Passover, houses were purged of leaven. Leaven represents spiritually sin. Thus cleansing of house from leaven represents cleansing of hearts from sins that defy.

Did the early first century Christians after Christ’s departure keep the biblical feasts and holy-days? YES. It is evident in the gospel accounts and in the book of Acts of the Apostles. Christ was crucified on Passover day- HE was our Passover Lamb whose blood bought our redemption from bondage of sin. Christianity in those days was a sect of ‘Judaism’, not a whole new religion. They were law keeping ‘Jews’ who happened to believe in Yeshua as their long awaited Messiah.

When did celebration of biblical feasts cease? It began at the advent of persecution of 'Jews' and Christians by the Roman empire. Much of the Judean traditions were demanded to be stopped. And many of the biblical times and feasts were later either Christianized or changed (ex: 7th day sabbath changed to 1st day Sunday). Later on when Christianity spread in Rome, the attempt to convert pagans led to Christianization of pagan festivals; that is how Christianity ended up with paganized holidays such Christmas and easter.

Has biblical feasts and holy days become obsolete today? No, though it is difficult to celebrate in its full requirements of the law without the temple, and such other mandated ordinances that are nearly impossible to keep today. But we can today observe it and its significance in the New Covenant in what feasible way we are able to. It’s the heart and the thought that counts.

What does Paul mean, these are ‘shadow of things to come’ in Colossians 2.17? Since Paul wrote this after Yeshua’s ascension to heaven, he must be speaking of Christ being the shadow of things that is still yet to come. He must then be speaking of another time. You’ve got it. It means these biblical feasts will indeed be reinstated in the millennial reign of Christ at His 2nd coming. . Thus, it would seem these biblical feasts (and the Torah) have been temporarily put on hold for the time being.

If you don’t already know this, please use google search to thoroughly search and read up on Roman empire’s institutionalization of Christianity, Christianization of paganism and how it gave rise to syncretistic Roman Catholicism and later, protestant, evangelical Christianity and all her whorish children (=the various denominations and sects of Christianity) that is practiced today.

Coming up: Did Christ die on Friday? NO. If Christ said, as Yonah was in belly of fish 3 days and 3 night, so will I in heart of earth. How could HE have died on Friday?

Question, answers and reflections:

What is sin? Sin is transgression of laws of Yahweh (1 John 3.4-6). Think of it as violation of divine universal laws just as any other human instituted laws and penal system.

Why is blood required for sin atonement? Again divine universal requirement. Without shedding of blood, there’s no remission of sin (Hebrews 9.22).

But why is the priesthood not performed today? First, the dispersion of Israelites and consequently Levites have ensured it nearly impossible to determine who is of Levite lineage since only their tribe are authorized as priests for temple services. Secondly, because there is no longer a physical temple; which according to the laws of Moses, these sacrificial services and offerings must occur in a physical temple.

Does this mean there will still be need for sin atonement in the millennial reign of Christ? That means sin still exists then? Which means free choice to sin exists even then?? YES! YES!! Exactly. Interesting is it not? Stay tuned for study on Ezekiel 40 to 48 re: the millennial temple and coming kingdom.


As for now, in this dispensation, all those who are in Christ are Israel; individual believers are priesthoods; your lives are sacrifices; the global Church is the spiritual temple; the universal body of Christ is the tabernacle of Yahweh, each converted heart of a believer is the sacred altar of the LORD.

Until the day HE returns……….

There's an enormous misconception that the old covenant laws are done away with; and that the laws pertaining to Levitical priesthood are no more since the advent of Christ's 1st coming. This misunderstanding stems from wrongful study and view of the purpose of the Law and the sacrificial rituals. So, let me shed some light.

The first order: Aaronic priesthood (of Levites).

Moses mediated the old covenant laws. Part of this old covenant laws tasked the tribe of Levites with services of the temple; and the family of Aaron specifically given the role of priesthood and all its services and ordinances. One of the major function of the priesthood was in performing temple services: blood sacrifice and offering for atonement of sins. The scripture tells us repeatedly that Aaronic priesthood is perpetual and eternal stature. This implies, it's not done away with by Christ's 1st coming; which means it will be reinstated in HIS 2nd coming.

The Levitical priesthood sacrificial services were not solely for atonement of sin, though it was main part of it. No, The Levitical priesthood's primary objective was to institute a way for man to draw near to worship Yahweh; which is why these priesthood services are coming back.


Additionally, The Aaronic priesthood and its sacrificial rituals could NOT bring perfection and spiritual reconciliation. It was designed for mere physical purification in this world, and in this earthly realm. Though they ministered in the earthly tabernacle, Aaronic priesthood served as a copy and shadow of the heavenly priesthood in the heavenly temple. The tabernacle on earth was patterned after and reflected the heavenly tabernacle.

The priests ministered twice daily in the tabernacle. The high priest ministered once per year for atonement in the holy of holies. The priest must atone for the sins of himself and his family first, then atone for the people. The sacrifices required for atonement of sins were blood of animals; which was inadequate but served its purpose under the Old Covenant. Ultimately, the old covenant and its Levitical priesthood were foreshadowing the more perfect priesthood to come- the priesthood of Christ.

The 2nd order: Melchizedek priesthood (of Christ).

The death and resurrection of Yeshua did not cancel the Levitical system with its sacrifices. The priesthood of Yeshua did not replace Aaronic priesthood. Since Yeshua’s human lineage came from the tribe of Judah, therefore, Yeshua’s as our high priest is priesthood of another order. Specifically, after the order of Melchizedek; a priesthood after the heavenly order. Thus, Yeshua ministered as our priest same exact function but in the heavenly temple. And thus, did not invalidate the earthly Aaronic priesthood.

This priesthood of Christ pertains to heavenly temple and serves to purify the inner spirit man for eternal life. Yeshua’s priesthood is the mediator of the new covenant. Yeshua carried out the sacrifices in the heavenly temple to secure eternal redemption for us. Thus, Christ, whom the old covenant laws and the prophets pointed towards, fulfilled the requirements of blood sacrifices required for atonement of sin once and for all. Thus Christ initiated the new covenant by HIS own blood; being the perfect sacrifice.

The highlighted portions above are why it is critical to understand that the priesthood of Levites were not abolished in the advent of Christ’s priesthood.

AGAIN, The Levitical priesthood & sacrificial system was not meant to be permanent removal of sin. So, Yeshua’s death on cross did not null and void its practice. Since their priesthood is OF eternal stature, Aaronic priesthood and its sacrificial rituals and ordinances will be reinstated in the millennial kingdom in Christ’s 2nd coming in Ezekiel’s temple. .

YES, this implies the TORAH is alive and well in the next life. Get a head start today in studying the Torah, there are blessings promised for you in this life and the next.


Scripture references: Numbers 3. 5-13, 41-45; Lev. 18, 21; Deut 8.5; Hebrews 7 thru 10, better yet read whole book of Hebrew. Jeremiah 31.31-34. Ezekiel 40 to 48.

Shalom.

More Coming on Shabbos.....

Did you know that The Law & Aaronic Sacrificial system and all its rituals will be reinstated in the Millennial reign of Christ in HIS 2nd coming?.

Many of the books of the prophets allude to this. The book of Ezekiel chapters 40s to 48 describe in great detail. See Isaiah 2:3, Micah 4.2.

Next time: I will discuss the Levitical priesthood sacrificial system and why it was insufficient and hence the need for the order of Melchizedek's (Christ) priesthood. And why blood was needful for sacrificial atonement.

I wish to delve into these 'deeper' topics. This is something that is NOT taught nor entertained in most Christian circuses....i mean 'churches'. No. They are busy telling you how to live your best life NOW, twist God's arm for blessings, favours and material prosperity. This is why most Christians are shallow believers who cannot articulate what they believe and WHY. .

Shabbat Shalom:

It is a common misconception that Christ abolished the "whole" law In HIS 1st coming. NO!! Yeshua did not abrogate the Torah, neither did HE cancel the sacrifices and offerings of the Aaronic priesthood.

Rather, Christ fulfilled the law of SIN & DEATH. That is, the law that states: you sin = you die and/or blood sacrifices for atonement.

Sin is the transgression of Torah; it is to miss the target. Sin is missing the mark of the intended target. The target is HaShem’s laws and commandments as contained in HIS Torah. Torah comes from Hebrew root word Yarah meaning to “take aim.” To practice righteousness is to aim for the mark of the Torah. The first 5 books of Hebrew Scriptures (the Pentateuch) are the Torah.

If HE abolished the law, there would be no sin. For without the law, there's no imputing of sin. Romans 4.15; 5.13 and Romans 3.20.


Therefore, to present the gospel of salvation in Yeshua, one must also peach the Torah, know the Torah. For how will you know what you are being saved from? How will you know how or what standards you failed to meet if Torah is not needed nor taught. Knowing the standards, the target of Torah makes it all the more appreciative of the salvation secured in Christ. .

Moreover, the moral, ethical & spiritual principles outlined in the Torah transcend time and are still very much applicable today.

Shalom.

To whom this may resonate with:

You are saying, but this thing (land?) does not produce anything, not useful, not working, pointless.

The LORD is saying: two words: PRAISE AND WORSHIP. This is your battle cry. Worship is your war-ship.

When you praise (Judah), the LORD goes to work fighting your battles. You see, this is why Judah is the tribe that went first in Israelites battle formation in their time in wilderness.

Praise and worship the LORD in beauty of HIS majesty and wonder working power. And this thing (the land) will yield its increase.
.

Psalm: 67.6.

Halleluyah.

There are people in here today needing deliverance & healing.

I have 2 names of note: Adaobi and Gloria. You are trapped....in snares of man, delusions and vanity of life. I see a dungeon, like a prison with tiny window above. Small light pierces thru. You are trapped in there, oppressed perhaps of mental, spiritual and emotional and of physical bondage. It's not all your fault, but you played a hand in starting it. Now, You are crying out for deliverance. The LORD wants to set you free today. Keep looking up and crying out. In fact, it is already happening. When your deliverance is complete, see to it that you do not entangle yourself once again in bondage of the world. Walk in the Spirit and you will not gratify the lusts of the flesh. You need not jump thru hoops to receive this deliverance, nor do any special thing. It's a lie you are being told. The LORD sets free for free. And whom the LORD sets free is free indeed. Only do not return back to bondage. Galatians 5.

A person here named Peter is suffering a debilitating illness, an infectious disease of terminal nature (HIV by name). It seems the AID (assistance) has ceased. The medications are ineffective or minimally ineffective. You are concerned of worsening status and fear of death. The LORD says, you shall not die but live. And HE has heard your cries. HE will heal and restore health to your marrow. Only believe, even a faith as tiny as mustard is all that is required. Distance is not a barrier in the realm of the Spirit. You need not travel anywhere nor seek out any healer. Yahweh Rapha is HIS Name. HE is your healer. And HE can heal right where you are. And the healing has begun.

*Please, if you are touched, healed, & delivered: Be sure to testify to someone. I need not know. But, give testimony and of thanksgiving to the LORD.

Baruch HaShem-blessed is the LORD. Amen.

The LORD is saying to certain someone (and anyone else it pertains to):

You are about to make a life altering decision that will make you a slave in your own possession. Do not be a slave in the land that the Lord gave you. Do not sell your inheritance and your birthright like Esau did and later found no repentance though he cried for it.

Some of you are in great distress in your divine inheritance, and in the giftings of the LORD. This ought not to be.

What now you ask? Renounce your agreement. Repent and return to your first love.

Renew your covenant with the LORD and serve Him only. That is the only way to secure, ensure and maintain your divine right and inheritance.

The name specifically given is Nnamdi.

Friends, did you know that the owners and creators of your bible apps are billionaires and many of them do not actually believe in Christ, nor are they practicing true believers.

That is why they sell you the sweet, soft, and nice, blessings of Scripture, but never the tough parts that challenge you to grow.

They are making money off of you, yet doing it while leading you to broad way to hell. They are not interested in your spiritual growth.

You popular YouVersion is owned by Billionaire Bobby Gruenewald. Has 520 million subscribers worldwide.

If this many people have bible apps, yet the world is getting darker and Christians ought to be light in the dark. So, why is that? Because these bible apps do not promote true Christianity that fosters spiritual growth; the kind that instructs you to be true light and salt of the world.

*NIV is owned by multibillion Zondervan, subsidiary of Harper Collins Publishing, owned by NewsCorp and Rupert Murdoch (the Australian billionaire).

* I have not verified this last part, but I will not be surprised of its veracity.

Same goes with most Christian songs out there. Most of them promote easy, lazy Christianity without real substance. Beware.

Please Christians, start using your brain. Critically evaluate every pastor, teacher, minister, 'prophet', 'apostle', don't sit and passively swallow what you hear and see. Critically think. Employ your reasoning skills.
