WHAT THE DAY IS
RESURRECTION DAY
It Is Our Freedom From Eternal Death
Luke 24:1
But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.
The day the LORD Jesus Christ rose from the dead and came out of the tomb having paid for our sins on the cross and then conquering death is THE most important event in human history. He, God who took on flesh to pay for our sins made a way for mankind to be reconciled back to our perfect Creator to whom we have been separated for thousands of years because of sin. This is the work the LORD Jesus Christ came to do. His care of making a way to come is written of and prophesied in the Jewish writings, the Tanakh, which is the Christian Old Testament. It is testified of by those who knew Him and had encounters with Him that He indeed was the One of whom was in the Br'it Hadasha, the new covenant revealed to mankind also in the the Christian New Testament. A fulfillment of Jeremiah 31:30-32
Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, and I will form a covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
a new covenant. Not like the covenant that I formed with their forefathers on the day I took them by the hand
to take them out of the land of Egypt, that they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, says the Lord.
For this is the covenant that I will form with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord:
I will place My law in their midst and I will inscribe it upon their hearts,
and I will be their God and they shall be My people.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
God of all creation wants us to know what is coming. He warns in advance. His word is filled with guidance for us because He loves us and does not want us to perish. He has specific times that are to be known and passed along from one generation to another. He ordained seven specific Feast of the LORD that not only commemorate what He has done, but prepare us to look forward to His completion of them in future events.
To understand certain aspects of God's word is worth our time to learn certain aspect of the Hebrew and Jewish culture. It helps to clarify Scripture and gives us understanding of the methodical workings the LORD gave to keep mankind a working pace to continue from one generation to the next. Without His direction mankind quickly degrades and cultures succumb to evil. It comes to a point that it is indeed the mercy of God that He brings judgment to end the degradation and self-destruction that we fall into. His ways are good, just, wholesome and bountiful if we follow. When we do not the evil that ensues ends civilization. Clearly we can see it now.

Matthew 12:39-40 “But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign;
and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet;
for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER,
so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
in the upper right of each day) with additional references to Passover added in Black and Red
This gives a visual where we can clearly see how the LORD's three days and three nights coincide with the Jewish Calendar as well as The Feasts of the LORD. This helps to understand the additional 'sabbaths' and 'preparation days'. Jesus Christ was Jewish! He lived a Jewish life! He lived by the Jewish calendar!
Like Christmas we celebrate events that are not on the day they happened. If we were to go back to the time of Christ, we would find there is not focus on His birth. It is the work He has done for mankind that He came and for which we must also remain focused. Far too much worldliness enters into these contrived dates. Why do believers in Christ now fall under the rules of Catholicism which have no Biblical foundation. The ceremonies, laws and lording over the masses is nothing more than manipulation, misguiding non-Jews, and power seeking and worst of all, pagan god worshiping! It is an abomination to the our Father God in heaven and detestable to Jesus Christ.
Where Is The Pope On The Point of the Resurrection and Accomplished Work of Jesus Christ and His merciful hand to mankind, made in His image?
1) "The cross shows us a different way of measuring success. Ours is to plant the seeds. God sees to the fruits of our labors. And if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and not produce fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus Christ and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.” ~ Pope Francis September 2015
2) “If tomorrow an expedition of Martians came to us here and one said ‘I want to be baptised!’, what would happen? Martians, right? Green, with long noses and big ears, like in children’s drawings. When the Lord shows us the way, who are we to say, ‘No, Lord, it is not prudent! No, let’s do it this way.’ Who are we to close doors?” ` ~ ucatholic.com on Pope Francis
1) Jesus did not fail at the cross! He was victorious! He went through the treachery pain, torture, died and rose again! This is NOT failure! This is His victory which He has freely given to us that we will never die eternally. He has PAID that price and set us free!
2) Jesus Christ did not take on the form of a little green martian and pay for their sins. What blasphemy that the Pope would extend the sacrifice of our God to masquerading demons!
Lent: Celebrated by Roman Catholic Christians as well as some Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists and Presbyterians. For the Catholic Church Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent which is 46 days before Easter Sunday. Lent, a 40-day season (sans Sundays) is marked by repentance, fasting, reflection, and ultimately celebration. According to Catholicism the 40-day period is to represent Christ’s time in the wilderness, where He fasted and where Satan tempted Him. The reasoning for Catholics is that Christians should do what their Master did. He did this just prior to being baptized and starting His earthly ministry. What does this have to do with the crucifixion? Nothing! There is no mandate in Scripture for believers to do this.
The Council of Laodicea in 360 AD/CE: made the edict for Lent to became a "Christian" celebration. However, in the fifth century Catholic Saint Abbot John Cassianus, a monk of Marseilles, openly stated regarding the primitive Church with the Church in his day, "It ought to be known that the observance of the forty days had no existence, so long as the perfection of that primitive Church remained inviolate."
"Easter" has several connotations attached to it. From the worship of pagan gods like Ishtar and Tammuz to differences in translation between Greek and German. Regardless as we stand here in 2020 let us consider even the Puritans who called it a pagan holiday. Surely they had a better understanding of what was coming across the Atlantic than we do today. Easter was now widely observed until after the Civil War era also in conjunction with the spread of Roman Catholicism. We see Christmas and Easter picking up steam in America in about the same time frame. Isn't that interesting? Truly be worked out of the Christian vocabulary and replaced with a clear reference to Resurrection Day. I note the word 'Day' as opposed to 'Sunday' due to the fact that the Jewish 'Day' begins at sunset indicating that the 'third' day the LORD rose could have been on Saturday evening.
Would it not be wise to simply dismiss the 'Easter' traditions of bunnies and eggs in addition to a name that confuses many and simply call our rejoicing of the LORD Jesus Christ's resurrection as Resurrection Sunday? The trapping of half-truths are ensnaring our youth and continue to take the focus off of this magnificent blessing for mankind to coloring and hiding eggs that are fabled to come from a bunny. Like Christmas these 'traditions' are pagan and like Satan they detract from the seriousness of our worship to our creator. Destroy this incessant frivolity that blinds our focus on God Almighty.
The ridiculous absurdity of the following article leads me to believe that 'Easter' truly is related to Ishtar going back to the time of Nimrod. That Easter, much like Christmas were promulgated to coerce the Christians to fall in line with going through the motions of pagan worship unbeknownst to them.
BEWARE as the internet removes conservative websites and changes algorithms to direct the populous to specific 'information'. We are being cut out of historical facts. Those who are not able to give a reasonable argument for their position and wash over the points in question as though they are nothing to be concerned about, this requires additional scrutiny. What is being glossed over or passed off as insignificant?
Here is only one example as I researched the source of Easter. The deception to attempt to make it all palatable as though 'of course' we should do this while considering the LORD on the cross is grotesque in it's concept. There were other articles which chastised the reader if they thought it anything but playful spring frivolity. All the more reason to raise and eyebrow in question.
However, the Christian tradition of the Easter Bunny has distinctly Christian origins. The ancient Greeks thought rabbits could reproduce as virgins. Such a belief persisted until early medieval times when the rabbit became associated with the Virgin Mary, who we know became pregnant without knowing man. During the medieval period, rabbits began appearing in illuminated manuscripts and paintings where the Virgin Mary was depicted, serving as an allegorical illustration of her virginity. The Easter Bunny was first popularized as a symbol of the season by the German Protestants. It is likely they were the ones to invent the myth of the Easter Bunny for their children.
Even in earliest folklore, the Easter Bunny came as a judge, hiding decorated eggs for well-behaved children. The Easter Bunny followed German immigrants to the American colonies in the 18th century and the folklore spread across the United States. The notion that the Easter Bunny is a pagan symbol developed in the 19th century. In 1835, Jacob Grimm, the popular collector of fairy tales, suggested that the Easter Bunny came from primitive German pagan traditions. Once Grimm started the rumor, it began to spread, refined to suggest the Easter Bunny comes from the Saxon Goddess Eostre. However, there is no direct evidence of a pagan correlation. The first intimation of a connection arose from Jacob Grimm, and although he was a folklorist, he had no hard evidence other than his own speculation."
Red highlighting in this portion of the article is my notation of absurdities that are even difficult to read. And the lies continue so we will stop here. If you wish to read it in its entirety click here. This attempt of an obvious smoke screen is to keep the truth from the masses. The truth is that the practices go back before the time of Jesus Christ. They have ties to Babylon and Nimrod. Like the cover up with the Christmas circus which is deceptive in all points particularly the date with the only truth being Jesus Christ entered in to mankind and took on human flesh and was born of a virgin, born in stable. Everything else is tied to paganism
