The Pagan Origins of Easter

Easter is a day that is recognized by almost all modern denominations of Christianity to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The holiday is often associated with a sunrise service, as well as Easter ham and stories about eggs and rabbits. Those who love the truth learn to ask questions, and many questions need to be asked about Easter.

Is this really the day Jesus rose from the dead? Where do all these strange customs come from that have nothing to do with the resurrection of our Savior? The purpose of this treatise is to help answer these questions, and to help those who are seeking the truth to draw their own conclusions.
The first thing we need to understand is that professing Christians were not the only ones who celebrated a holiday called,""Easter"[ Easter ]".
" Ishtar ", which is pronounced""Easter" [ Easter]" is a day that commemorates the resurrection of one of the gods, named " Tammuz ", who is believed to be the only son of the goddess - moon and the god - sun .

In those old days , there was a man named Nimrod who was the grandson of one of Noah's sons, Ham. Ham had a son named Kush who married a woman named Semiramis. Kush and Semiramis then had a son whom they named " Nimrod ". After his father died, Nimrod married his own mother and became a powerful king .
The Bible speaks of this man, Nemrod, in Genesis 10:8-10 as follows :
"And Cush begat Nemrod, who began to be mighty in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; and it is said: As Nemrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Ahad, and Chalah, in the land of Senaar.
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 the enemy, and his body was quartered into pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom. Semiramis collected all of these parts except for one that could not be found. the 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 would henceforth be called " baal ", the sun god. Queen Semiramis also announced that Baal would be present on earth in the form of flame, or candles or lamps which is why they are used in worship. Semiramis' intention was to create a secret religion, and with the help of Satan, she made herself a goddess. Semiramis claimed that she was Immaculately Conceived. She taught that the god moon, goes through a 28 day cycle and ovulates fully.
She also claimed that she descended from the moon in a giant lunar egg that fell into the Euphrates River. This was thought to have happened during the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Semiramis became known as " Ishtar ", which is pronounced""Easter"" b]Easter[/b"and her moon egg became known as the "easter egg". Ishtar quickly became pregnant and claimed that it was the rays of the sun god Baal that caused her to conceive a son whom she named Tammuz
Tammuz was particularly fond of rabbits, and through him they became sacred in ancient religion, as Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun-god, Baal . Tammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunter. One day, when Tammuz was killed by a boar. Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz had ascended to his father, Baal, and that one of the two of them would now be with the faithful in the sacred flame of the candle or lamp as Father, Son and Spirit.

Ishtar, who was now revered as the " Mother of God and Queen of Heaven ", continued to build her secret religion. The queen told the faithful that when Tammuz was killed by a boar, drops of his blood fell on the trunk of a conifer tree and a brand new tree grew from the trunk overnight. This made the coniferous tree holy with Tammuz's blood. It also declared a period of forty days of time of sorrow every year before the anniversary of Tammuz`a's death. No meat was allowed to be eaten during this time.
The believers were to meditate on the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz, and displayed the sacred sign of the "T" in front of their hearts when it was worshipped. They ate sacred cakes with the "T" or cross on top. This was celebrated every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. This was "Ishtar" Sunday which was symbolized by the rabbit and eggs. Ishtar also proclaimed that because Tammuz killed a pig, its meat must be eaten on this Sunday.

Now, readers of this treatise should note that paganism has infiltrated the modern "Christian" churches, and further research indicates that paganism came by way of the Roman Catholic system. The truth is that Easter has nothing to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We also know that Easter can fall as much as three weeks after Passover , because the pagan holiday is always set on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. Some have wondered why the word "Easter" is in the King James Bible. It is because, Acts: chapter 12, tells us that it is the evil King Herod who plans to celebrate Easter, not the Christians . The real Passover and Easter sometimes overlap with the pagan one , but in some years, they are very far apart.

Much more could be said on this subject, and we have much more information for you if you are a seeker of truth. We know that the Bible tells us in John 4:24 : "For the Father also seeketh such to praise him. God is spirit, and those who praise him should praise him in spirit and in truth."
The truth is that the forty days of Lent, eggs, rabbits, warm cross cakes and Easter ham have everything in common with the ancient pagan religion of Babylon. These are all activities of the Antichrist ! Satan is the master of deceivers, and has filled the lives of true good Christians with idolatry. These things bring the wrath of God upon the sons of rebellion who try to introduce the pagan customs of Baal into Christian worship.
You must be accountable for your actions and what you teach your children. These Easter customs in honor of Baal, who is also Satan, and is still worshipped as the " rising sun" and his home is the " house of the rising sun ". How many churches conduct "rising day services " on Easter and turn their face to the rising sun ?
How many will use colored eggs and stories about rabbits, just like in ancient Babylon.?
These things are no joke, no more so than Doomsday.

I pray to God that this treatise will cause a search for more truth.

We will be glad to help by providing more information and praying for you. These are the last days, and a time of repentance, exodus and separation.
