Easter Pagan Origin

Easter Pagan Origin - Christians See the Truth

Easter Pagan Holiday of Fertility

We must first understand that professing Christians were not the only ones who celebrated a festival called "Easter." Easter is a pagan goddess. 

Easter Meaning

"Ishtar," which is pronounced "Easter," was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods whom 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 sons 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 mighty King.

The Bible tells 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, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar."

Nimrod became a god-man to the people, and Semiramis, his wife and mother, became the mighty Queen of ancient Babylon.

Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy, and his body was cut into pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom.

Semiramis had all the parts gathered except one 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 as a flame, whether a 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.

Easter Egg

She taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28-day cycle and ovulated when complete.

She claimed 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 the sun god Baal's rays caused her to conceive.

The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz.

Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, which 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 had now ascended to his father, Baal, and that they 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 whole new tree overnight. This made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz.

Lent

"Lent." Where did "Lent" come from?" Is it the past tense of "to lend"? Is it something found in one's navel? Lent is not found in the Bible! She also proclaimed a forty-day period of time of sorrow each year before the anniversary of the death of Tammuz.

During this time, no meat was to be eaten.

Lent was directly borrowed from the worshippers of the Babylonian goddess. Such a Lent of forty days, `in the spring of the year,' is still observed by the Yezidis or pagan devil-worshippers of Koordistan, who have inherited it from their early masters, the Babylonians. Such a Lent of forty days was held in the spring by the pagan Mexicans, for thus we read in Humboldt [Mexican Researches where he gives an account of Mexican observances: `Three days after the vernal equinox…began a solemn fast of forty days in honor of the sun.' Such a Lent of forty days was observed in Egypt, as may be seen in consulting Wilkinson's Egyptians. This Egyptian Lent of forty days, we are informed by Landseer, in his Sabean Researches, was held expressly in commemoration of Adonis or Osiris, the great mediatorial god"

Easter Cakes

Jeremiah 7:17-20 - "The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

"Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

"Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger, and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched."

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, a celebration was made on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.

Rabbits and Eggs

It was Ishtar's Sunday and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs.

Ishtar also proclaimed that because Tammuz was killed by a pig, a pig must be eaten on that Sunday.

By now, the readers 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 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.

Sunrise Services

Now, notice the biblical reference to sunrise services: "Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz" [Nimrod; the sun god].

"Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

"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." The sun is in the east at its RISING! This is nothing less than a "SUNRISE" service—sun worship at the sun's dawning!

"Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger…Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them" (Ezekiel 8:13-18).

This is the only place in the Bible where men are described as turning their backs on God's temple, facing the SUN at its rising, and worshipping the sun!

The true Passover and pagan Easter sometimes coincide, but they are a great distance apart in some years.

So much more could be said, and we have much more information for you if you seek the truth.

The Bible tells us in John 4:24, "God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth."

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.

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.
