ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR EASTER AND CHRISTMAS

FOR THE MARK OF GOD STUDY

Baal became Venus and Cupid in Roman times. Asterah means seed of Easter. Ishtar, Isis, Tammuz are all versions of sun god. Ancient Egyptian art has suns everywhere.

The catholic eucharist is based on sun worship. It has become a sacrament of the church. The communal host is displayed in the Monstrance which is a sunburst. The obelisk in St. Peter’s square is surround by an eight point sun. The obelisk is Baal’s shaft.

Pinecones are ancient sun god symbols. The trident is a satanic symbol seen in many ancient god statues. Also known as the “devil’s pitchfork”.

A crosier is a staff that is shaped like a serpent. It is a symbol of power and is similar to a shepherd’s staff. Remember Moses throwing down his staff and it became a serpent. The Egyptians also threw their crosiers down and they turned into a serpent, but Moses staff ate them. Statues of Athena often depict her with a serpent crosier. Crosiers are popular in the Catholic Church.

Symbols often seen in catholic churches are winged dragons, serpent crosiers, sun symbols, and sunbursts.

At the council of Nicea the emperor Constantine set the winter solstice, Dec25^th, as the day to celebrate the Lord’s birth. He was a sun worshipper of Mithras and the winter solstice is a supreme sun worship day. This would make it easier for pagans to accept Christianity. Constantine also abolished all “Jewish” festivals and celebrations, replacing them with pagan dates. This was the beginning of the church losing their Hebraic roots.

The twelve days of Christmas comes from the twelve days of burning the Yule log during the winter solstice. Yule day was the “day of the infant.” Not Jesus, but Tammuz, the sun god. The twelve days of burning celebrated Ishtar for bringing back the sun god Tammuz from the dead. In ancient Israel animals and children where sacrificed to the fire. This was an abomination to the Lord. The Roman feast of Saturnalia is also twelve days.

All sun god’s can be traced to Nimrod (Genesis 11).

Easter comes fromr Ishtar/Ashtar/Isis. Easter celebrates the rising from the dead of Tammuz. They fasted 40 days. It is also the root of Lent. Jesus was crucified on Passover. Easter and Passover do not occur together. This sun god festival was turned into the Easter celebration as it occurred in the spring around the time of Jesus’ death and resurrection. In reality, Easter is sun god worship and sun rise service is rooted in sun worship. Ham is eaten at this time because a boar killed Tammuz and he rose again.

As you can see the enemy has polluted and mixed into our faith the pagan festivals and celebrations which take us away from our Hebraic roots. The feasts of the Lord are laid out in Lev 23. These are not “Jewish feasts” but are referred to as the feast’s of the Lord. Returning to the feast’s of the Lord bring special blessings and understanding as we begin to observe them.

This is not meant to condemn. This is meant to educate. The truth can at times be very upsetting. This is truth. What you do with it is your responsibility. The message is true.
