Where did the Easter Sunday holiday come from? many believe that it signifies the death, burial and resurrection of Messiah…but does it? He said that He would be in the grave three days and three nights. So, is it possible to get three days and three nights from Friday noon to Sunday morning? Only if you’re using some funny math. The numbers do not add up and Christians continue to ignore this glaring detail without question. The fact is Messiah – our Mashiach – was in the grave for three days and three nights just like He said. Zechariah 12:10 says, “They will look on Me whom they pierced.” So, what happened? The Roman Catholic Church changed the days designated for Passover to invent Easter.
Exodus 12:23-27 says, “For the Most High will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lentil and on the two doorposts, the Most High will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever. It will come to pass when you come to the land which the Most High will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service. And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ that you shall say, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the Most High, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.’” The Passover or Pesach was to be a memorial for the children of Israel and their descendants to remind them how the Most High delivered them out of Egypt. No other nation has this testimony. Changing Passover to Easter was a key component of the replacement theology doctrine. When they changed it, they erased the meaning behind the Feast Day. They stole our heritage. Pesach was a significant event for us and there’s a reason why the Gentiles wanted us to forget.
Exodus 12:14 says, “So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the Most High throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.” So, when we remember and honor this Feast Day, it serves as our memorial day of how the Most High delivered our ancestors out of bondage. By His might, He forced Egypt to let us go. This memorial day can be celebrated by other nations but it does not have the same significance for them. They were never delivered from the bondage of Egypt. This is what Messiah was celebrating with the disciples before His death, burial and resurrection. The revelation is that He is the Passover Lamb to not only deliver us out of physical bondage, but He delivers us from the bondage of sin. Both are to be remembered.
So, how did this religion, this tradition of Easter come to be? It came from Babylon. They were worshiping the goddess of fertility, and they worshiped her in the spring because they said she caused everything to grow. She was a goddess of reproduction, and this was done in her honor. Ask yourself, what does a bunny have to do with the resurrection? Why is the focal point on the bunny and the eggs? Why is the focal point at Christmas Santa Claus and the toys and the gifts? These are pagan holidays that are masking as Christian or biblical holidays. This is why Easter is always on a Sunday. The celebration was a pagan holiday so that the Romans could continue worshiping their pagan gods.
