The Pagan Origin Of Easter
Easter is a day that is honered by nearly all of contemporary Christianity and is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The holiday often involves a church service at sunrise, a feast which includes an "Easter Ham", decorated eggs and stories about rabbits.
Those who love truth learn to ask questions, and many questions must be asked regarding the holiday of Easter.
Is it truly the day when Jesus arose from the dead? Where did all of the strange customs come from, which have nothing to do with the resurrection of our Saviour?
The purpose of this tract is to help answer those questions, and to help those who seek truth to draw their own conclusions.
The first thing we must understand is that professing Christians were not the only ones who celebrated a festival called "Easter."
"Ishtar", which is pronounced "Easter" was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods that they called "Tammuz", who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun-god.
In those ancient times, there was a man named Nimrod, who was the grandson of one of Noah's son named Ham.
Ham had a son named Cush who married a woman named Semiramis.Cush and Semiramis then had a son named him "Nimrod."
After the death of his father, Nimrod married his own mother and became a powerful King.
The Bible tells of of this man, Nimrod, in Genesis 10:8-10 as follows: "And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad,and Calneh, in the land of Shinar."
Nimrod became a god-man to the people and Semiramis, his wife and mother, became the powerful Queen of ancient Babylon.
Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy, and his body was cut in pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom.
Semiramis had all of the parts gathered, except for one part that could not be found.
That missing part was his reproductive organ. 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.
Queen Semiramis also proclaimed that Baal would be present on earth in the form of a flame, whether candle or lamp, when used in worship.
Semiramis was creating a mystery religion, and with the help of Satan, she set herself up as a goddess.
Semiramis claimed that she was immaculately conceived.
She taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28 day cycle and ovulated when full.
She further claimed that she came down from the moon in a giant moon egg that fell into the Euphrates River.
This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon after the spring equinox.
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. Tammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunter.
The day came when Tammuz was killed by a wild pig.
Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz was now ascended to his father, Baal, and that the two of them would be with the worshippers in the sacred candle or lamp flame as Father, Son and Spirit.
Ishtar, who was now worshipped as the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven", continued to build her mystery religion.
The queen told the worshippers that when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig, some of his blood fell on the stump of an evergreen tree, and the stump grew into a full new tree overnight. This made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz.
She also proclaimed a forty day period of time of sorrow each year prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz.
During this time, no meat was to be eaten.
Worshippers were to meditate upon the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz, and to make the sign of the "T" in front of their hearts as they worshipped.
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.
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.
By now, the readers of this tract should have made the connection that paganism has infiltrated the contemporary "Christian" churches, and further study indicates that this paganism came in by way of the Roman Catholic System.
The truth is that Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We also know that Easter can be as much as three weeks away from the Passover, because the pagan holiday is always set as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.
Some have wondered why the word "Easter" is in the the King James Bible.
It is because Acts, chapter 12, tells us that it was the evil King Herod, who was planning to celebrate Easter, and not the Christians.
The true Passover and pagan Easter sometimes coincide, but in some years, they are a great distance apart.
So much more could be said, and we have much more information for you, if you are a seeker of the truth.
We know that the Bible tells us in John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
The truth is that the forty days of Lent, eggs, rabbits,hot cross buns and the Easter ham have everything to do with the ancient pagan religion of Mystery Babylon.These are all antichrist activities!
Satan is a master deceiver, and has filled the lives of well-meaning, professing Christians with idolatry.
These things bring the wrath of God upon children of disobedience, who try to make pagan customs of Baal worship Christian.
You must answer for your activities and for what you teach your children.
These customs of Easter honor Baal, who is also Satan, 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?
How many will use colored eggs and rabbit stories, as they did in ancient Babylon.
These things are no joke, any more than Judgement day is a joke.
I pray to God that this tract will cause you to search for more truth.
We will be glad to help you by providing more information and by praying for you.
These are the last days, and it is time to repent, come out and be separate.

I am certainly glad God is God and not a man who looks on the outside of things, but sees the heart and knows difference between worshipping and honoring Him or what's her name. This post implies God doesn't know the difference.

We have the freedom in Christ to celebrate any holidays that we want to.
Just because some pagan celebrated on a certain day, thousands of years ago, does NOT mean that I can't use that day to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Satan does not own any days, and God owns them ALL.
Colossians 2:16
"Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath."

no brother this implies christians don't know the origin of their man-made holidays,,,,YAHSHUA fulfilled Passover and Unleavened Bread which are not pagan in origin but come from YHWH,,,and to my other brother that is so taking that little sound bite verse out of context,,see that is the problem you take Sha'uls writing and blow them out of context to fit to you breaking the commands of the FATHER,,but soon it won't be me saying this,,,so in love i hope and pray these words ring through your ears when man-made religious systems fall to the ground "you have inherited lies"
the rest of those verses say Colossians 2:17 "which are a shadow of what is to come but the Body of MESSIAH"
if you keep reading to 22 you will find the subject
these are letters and you can not take a sentence out of any letter and use it to build dogma
here is a verse for you to read Debarim (Deutteronomy)12:1-4
YHWH says tear down the places where the nations worshipped their mighty ones and ending with DO NOT DO SO TO YHWH YOUR ELOHIM"
that means do not learn pagan ways and say oh it doesn't mean that to me,,,it does not matter what it means to you cause GOD hates it and HE is the one who has to agree with the way you worship HIM,,HE was not happy with many in the past
i know it hurts to think you are performing pagan traditions i did it too,,we are not perfect but no matter how you look at it or how many excuses you make,,you are acting in pagan traditions and saying you are doing it to your GOD who created this world and sent HIS SON to die for it,,,i love you and i am not saying that i am not guilty but the difference is that i am admitting that i was wrong and repenting ,,,it was cain who refused to admit he was wrong for the offering he gave even though YHWH gave him time after time to repent
again I LOVE YOU ALL AND I AM GUILTY TOO but you should turn and repent when you see what you are doing is not pleasing to GOD

Icebro,
I realize you are sincere, however you post this on the premise of deeper understanding; I say not deep enough.
In Romans it is made quite clear that men are without excuse for not believing in God, for what can be known about Him is revealed in what He has created.
In Hebrews a principal is laid out that God uses things a a shadow of a reality to come.
God made the earth to operate a certain way giving us seasons. We have a annual resurrection of the earth coming back from the dead after winter ie: Spring Solstice
You also may not realize Christmas, the Winter Equinox is when the time of darkness starts getting shorter and the days get longer, light coming into the world, symbolizing the birth of Jesus.
So you see icebro, the seasons were given by God to us first, it was the pagans who have tried to pervert them by worshipping the creation instead of the Creator, (also in Romans).
I say we stand firm and not let the enemy steal and rob any more.

The Historical Evidence Brother Icebro shared is Documented in the Archives of History and Accurate...The Roman Church Instituted the Easter Day Resurrection Corresponding to the Julian Calendar dates of the Pagan Festival of Ishtar or what ever she might be called through history...IMHO...It was the Leaders in Authority & Roman Catholic Churches way of getting the People Under Control...Come one come all & celebrate one way...unfortunately...Jesus is a Hebrew / Israel / Jew...Soooo...with that said...Yall hava Blessed Good Friday...Happy Ressurrection Day...Blessed Passover & Pesach�

david J meyer
and i agree that the season were there first but knowing that the FATHER still told us not to learn the ways of the people in the land and not to do it to HIM,,,HE made everything even hasatan and HE tells us not to get too close to him
the point is that in Scripture HE tells us how,when and where to celebrate HIM and HE gave us things to remember now with that said if you praise by saying the sun is coming closer and i am praise MESSIAH with that then fine but that is not how people see it and the pagan traditions in christmas are just as bad as easter
they cut the tree to look like nimrods (you know what) and hung silver and gold balls to like his (you know what) cause the sun god ra castrated himself so many pagan gods in the past have been born on 25th of dec the equinox and the FATHER knew they would pervert these days so maybe that is why HE never told us to celebrate them,,,i can understand if you truly praise the sign of the sun (SON) returning but just be careful not to include anything the world is doing cause 9 times out 10 it is pagan,,,i will post more on the pagan traditions of christmas later but for now yes yes yes lets get the pagan out of the worship for MESSIAH

Icebro,
Do you use the name of the weeks? How about the names of the months? Which Calendar do you go by?....All pagan and names of gods and goddesses. Heads up bro, anything that goes back over 2000 years that originated outside of the Hebrews has pagan roots. Think about it.
Even the practice of thinking it is important to use the name Yeshua instead of Jesus is a pagan practice, well really not pagan, it has more to do with witchcraft, thinking that letters arranged in a certain way gives the word or name magical powers.
You know the Bible addresses your post when Paul came to meet with Apostles concerning what was expected of the Gentiles. In a nut shell they agreed that believers did not have to become Jewish.

no they agreed that they would tell the people to do four things 1)stay away from things strangled
2)stay away from blood (meaning blood in the food and not drained first)
3)idols
4)fornication ,adultery,horing( i have to spell it that way or it won't let me put it)
i know all about the days and the months and all the paganism in this world thanks
i go by the Creators calendar the one that is in Scripture and yep there are people watching the barley in Israel so we can and they tell us when the moon is sighted as well
and using the Name YAHSHUA is important cause that IS HIS Name it is important cause of the meaning
1)it has the Name of GOD in it YAHWAH or YHWH or really Yod Hey Vav Hey
2) it means YHWH is our salvation
what does JESUS mean in Hebrew????
oh yeah nothing
i am very familiar with paganism and witch craft and it is actually kabbalah that does that as well and i serve neither
i can see paganism and the babylonian system all around me and i hear the voice of my FATHER who said "COME OUT OF HER!!!!"
come out of babylon
all in love of MESSIAH i look forward to the great delusion at least some may see and come out if not we will keep drifting further and further away

Icebro,
I do not doubt your sincerity, however you tell people that they are disobedient and God will judge them for going to a sunrise service. My previous post was just to show you that you can be judged to, and by your own standards you fall short.
Btw YHWH is not Gods name, it is missing the vowels, the pronunciation of Gods name is lost to antiquity cause the Jews thought it go Holy to pronounce.
Btw#2 Why do 'adjust' Scripture to your own destruction? Why would you think I do not know a scripture I refer to?
Here is the whole picture bro:
verse10: "Now then why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we,are saved, just as the are."
Then the very verse before what you posted! : "It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements"
To be honest Bro, I don't think you are looking at things the same way YHWH does. Dont get me wrong; I think it is great to get in touch with Jewish tradition and roots, however you err in judging those who don't.
