EASTER - Amended
& Updated 2012
By Peter James from:
www/peterjamesx.com
As
I write this everyone is getting ready to acknowledge the Crucifixion
of
Christ on ‘Good Friday’, and then the resurrection
of
Christ on Easter Sunday.
The
reality is that Easter, is a pagan festival, which has nothing whatsoever to do
with Christ.
We
will prove that Christ was not crucified on a Friday, and that additionally He
was not resurrected on a Sunday morning.
Let us look at
a prophecy in Daniel.
Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah
be cut
off, but not for himself:
and the
people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city
and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood,
and unto
the end of the war desolations are determined.
Daniel 9:27 And
he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:
and in the midst of the week
he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation
to
cease, and for the
overspreading of abominations he shall make
it desolate,
even until the consummation,
and that
determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
We are told that
“in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice
and the oblation to cease”
This is used by
scholars to say that Christ would die in the middle
of the week.
Daniel
12:11-12 also uses this same principle of a day
for a year.
We
can see two verses which establish this principle.
Numbers
14:34 After the
number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your
iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of
promise.
Ezekiel
4:6 And when
thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear
the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days:
I have
appointed thee each day for a year.
Christ’s
ministry lasted three and a half years, and He became
the perfect
sacrifice which meant that there was no longer any
need for animal
sacrifices.
The
following table shows that according to Daniel’s prophecy,
the
Messiah would be murdered in the middle of the week.
It uses
the principle of defining days as mentioned in Genesis chapter 1.
the day is
comprised of the evening and the morning, or as we would say
today,
night and day.
In Genesis we read the definition of the day
as stated by the Eternal God.
The night
of the day preceded the day.
Genesis
1:5 And God called the light Day,
and the
darkness he called Night.
And the
evening and the morning were the first day.
Christ
then confirmed the length of a day.
John
11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours
in the day?
If any man
walk in the day, he stumbleth not,
because he
seeth the light of this world.
Of
course to cause utter confusion Satan has organized that the day
precedes
the night.
The fact
is that we are now in a period of night,
and this
will be followed by a period of day.
Originally
the days were numbered, they did not have the pagan
names,
which we use today.
Day
1 Saturday PM
to Sunday PM 24 hours
Day
2 Sunday PM to Monday PM
24 hours
Day
3 Monday PM
to Tuesday PM
24 hours
Day 4
Tuesday PM to Wednesday PM 24 hours
Day
5 Wednesday PM to Thursday PM 24 hours
Day
6 Thursday PM to Friday PM
24 hours
Day 7 Friday PM to Saturday PM 24 hours
also known as the weekly Sabbath.
We can clearly
see that Day 4 is the middle of the week.
The daylight
part of Day 4 we call Wednesday.
There
is a second, and much easier to understand proof
in
the New Testament.
We can see that
Christ was crucified before a Sabbath.
Most then
wilfully choose to ignore, or assume that the crucifixion had therefore to take
place on the day before the weekly Sabbath.
The fact is
that there are weekly Sabbaths, and annual Sabbaths,
which also
referred to as Feasts, Holy Convocations, or High days.
Leviticus
23:1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus
23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall
proclaim to be holy
convocations,
even these are my feasts.
Leviticus
23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh
day is the
sabbath of
rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein:
it is
the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
Leviticus
23:4 ¶ These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy
convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their
seasons.
Leviticus
23:5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even
is the
LORD’S passover.
Leviticus
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast
of
unleavened bread unto the LORD:
seven days
ye must eat unleavened bread.
Leviticus 23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no
servile work therein.
Let us now
look at the Gospel
of John, and the
time of Christ’s crucifixion.
John
clearly states that the day that Christ was being crucified was not the
preparation
day for the weekly Sabbath,
but rather
the preparation day for
the Passover.
John
19:14 And it
was the preparation of the passover,
and about
the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
Prophecies
were being full filled.
The
perfect, spotless Passover Lamb was being slain,
on
the correct day at the correct time, for my sins, your sins,
and
the sins of all mankind.
John
19:13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying,
he brought
Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that
is called
the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
John
19:14 And it
was the preparation of the passover, and about the
sixth
hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
John
19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him,
crucify him.
Pilate
saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King?
The chief
priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
John
19:16 ¶ Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified.
And they
took Jesus, and led him away.
John
19:17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called
the place of a skull, which is
called in
the Hebrew Golgotha:
John
19:18 Where
they crucified him, and two
other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in
the midst.
John
19:19 ¶ And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross.
And the
writing was,
JESUS OF
NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Once again
the apostle John emphasizes that the Sabbath was
not a
weekly Sabbath, but a high day, an annual Sabbath.
John
19:31 ¶
The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation,
that the bodies should not
remain upon the cross on the sabbath day,
(for that sabbath day was an high day,)
besought
Pilate that their legs might be broken,
and that
they might be taken away.
This is
not a small matter, but rather a matter of crucial importance.
Christ
said that the only sign of whom he was, rested on the fact,
that he
would remain in the grave for precisely three days and three
nights.
That is a total of 72 hours, not one and a half, or two and a half,
or any
other compilation, but three complete days.
Now the
approach of a Sabbath day, had its own problems for the Jews.
They were
quite happy to murder, our perfectly innocent Lord
and
Saviour, but they did not want to disqualify themselves from breaking
“the law”,
and being unable to participate in eating the Passover.
It
is so hypocritical.
But we do
exactly the same today.
Today we
go to war, and kill people, who have done us absolutely nothing.
Our greed
and covetousness drives our actions, as the apostle James says.
James
4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire
to have,
and cannot
obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
We kill
not only our ‘enemies’, but we also kill ourselves,
and our
children in the process.
We do not
care whom we kill as long as we achieve our evil desires.
Are you
aware that most of the soldiers, and equipment in the Iraq theatre
of war are
contaminated, with radio activity because of depleted uranium?
This is
happening in one country after another.
To be in
the presence of, or to touch, these people or equipment,
is to be
contaminated.
What is to
happen to these soldiers and equipment?
Back to
the crucifixion, where we can see the frantic activity to put the
body of
Christ into a tomb before sunset.
John
29:42 says because of
the Jews’ preparation day.
I do not
believe, that had they not managed to complete putting the body
of Christ
in the tomb, before sunset, that they would have broken any law
at all,
however, the legalistic rulers might well have tried to have the
distressed
disciples killed also.
John
19:38 ¶ And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a
disciple
of Jesus,
but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might
take away
the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave.
He came
therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
John
19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the
first came
to Jesus
by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
about an
hundred pound weight.
John
19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound
it in linen
clothes
with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
John
19:41 Now in the place where he was crucified
there was a garden;
and in the
garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
John
19:42 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the
Jews’
preparation
day; for the
sepulchre was nigh at hand.
This
preparation day was a Wednesday.
If we look
at Mark’s gospel we will see further frantic activity,
due to the
on rushing Sabbath.
The
distraught lovers of Christ, wanted to do the best for their beloved
Christ, in
the limited time available to them.
Mark
15:46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down,
and
wrapped him in the linen,
and laid
him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock,
and rolled
a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
Mark
15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses
beheld
where he was laid.
Suddenly
everything stopped.
1- Thursday was the
Sabbath of the Passover.
2- Friday, the next day,
was an ordinary working day.
During
daylight hours the women went and bought spices to anoint
the body
of Christ.
They would
have to carry the heavy spices home.
They did
not just run to the supermarket, and buy some spices.
In any
case we could not go to a supermarket, and buy that amount
of spices
today.
From John Chapter 19 we see Nicodemus with 100 pounds
weight
of spices.
John
19:39 And there came
also Nicodemus,
which at
the first came to Jesus by night,
and
brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
about an
hundred pound weight.
So
Christ is put in the tomb on Wednesday evening,
The
apostle Luke wrote the sequence of events in order.
We will
find that the gospel of Luke is in sequence,
as is the
book of Acts, whereas the other gospels are not
in the
sequence of the events.
Luke
1:1 ¶ Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set
forth in order
a
declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
Luke
1:2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which
from the beginning
were
eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
Luke
1:3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect
understanding
of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order,
most
excellent
Theophilus,
Luke
1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of
those things,
wherein
thou hast been instructed.
It
is very easy to overlook the fact, that Luke tells us,
that
the women, who were present at the crucifixion,
went
and looked into the tomb, and saw how the body of Christ
was
laid in the tomb immediately after He has been laid to rest.
Luke
23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the
sabbath drew on.
Luke
23:55 And the women also, which came with him from
Galilee,
followed
after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
From Wednesday evening to Thursday evening we have the Sabbath of
the Passover.
We have the first day of three
days.
From
Thursday evening to Friday evening is a normal day and Christ’s
body
remains in the tomb,
the women
prepare to do the embalming of the body.
Some of
the women went and bought spices to anoint the body of Christ.
They would
have to transport them, mix and prepare them.
There were
no cars, and modern transport.
No sooner
than they had done everything, they had once again run out
of time.
We have the second day of three days.
How could
that be that they had run out of time?
3- Because once again the weekly
Sabbath was quickly coming.
But I
thought we just had a Sabbath.
Yes, we
did, but this final Sabbath, was the weekly Sabbath.
The first
Sabbath was an annual Sabbath.
Christ’s
body remains in the tomb for the whole weekly Sabbath.
That
is from Friday evening to Saturday evening.
We have the third day of three days.
Immediately
after the Sabbath this is what happens.
John 20:1 ¶ The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark,
unto
the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
John 20:2 Then she runneth,
and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and
saith unto them,
They
have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre,
and
we know not where they have laid him.
Luke 24:1 ¶ Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning,
they
came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and
certain others with them.
Luke 24:2 And they found the
stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
Luke 24:3 And they entered
in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
Luke 24: 4 And it came to pass, as they were much
perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
Luke 24: 5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their
faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
Luke 24: 6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he
spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
Luke 24: 7 Saying,
The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be
crucified, and the third day rise again.
The
apostle John explains:
Mary
then sees Jesus, but does not recognise him.
He
might well have looked differently, but what is certain is,
that
it was dark, and there was no electric flood lighting.
It
is not surprising that she could not recognise Him.
John 20:14 And when she had
thus said, she turned herself back,
and
saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
John 20:15 Jesus saith unto
her, Woman, why weepest thou?
whom
seekest thou?
She,
supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir,
if
thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take
him away.
John 20:16 Jesus saith unto
her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say,
Master.
So
we have seen Christ was in the tomb,
Wednesday
Evening to Thursday Evening Day 1
Thursday Evening to Friday Evening Day 2
Friday Evening to Saturday
Evening. Day 3
He
therefore fulfilled the prophecy which He made about Himself.
Matthew
12:39 But he answered and said unto them,
An evil and adulterous generation seeketh
after a sign;
and there
shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Matthew
12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights
in the
whale’s
belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights
in the
heart of the earth.
Once again
we see the duration of Christ’s time in the grave clearly
defined.
You see, the simple fact is that if the resurrection
did not take place
precisely as stated, then the person purporting to be
Christ was
an imposter, and we would not have a Saviour.
The word Easter does appear in the bible once, in Acts 12:4.
I do not
understand, why it appears there at all.
Here is
the reason for my comment.
Acts
12:3 tells us that
these were the ‘Days
of Unleavened Bread’,
which has
nothing to do with Easter.
In 2008
there is one months difference between the Eternal’s Passover
and Pagan
Easter.
We are
told that Herod was pleasing the Jews in Acts 12:3.
We are
told that it was the days of Unleavened Bread.
We are
told in Acts
12:2.Herod was killing
the Christians,
James and
John, to name but two.
He would
not care about ‘polluting’ Easter, if it were ‘Christian’,
as Easter
is mentioned in Acts
12:4.
In fact I
believe he would have greatly pleased the Jews to pollute
what is
purported to be a Christian Holy Day, which it is
not,
but he did
not do that.
To please
the Jews he would not want to desecrate the ‘Passover Feast’,
as this
would greatly antagonize the Jews.
Acts 12:1 ¶ Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his
hands
to vex certain of the church.
Acts 12:2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
Acts 12:3 And because he saw it pleased the
Jews, he proceeded
further to take Peter also.
(Then
were the days of unleavened bread.)
Acts 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison,
and delivered him to four
quaternions
of soldiers to keep him; intending
after Easter to bring him forth
to the people.
The word “pasca”, appears in the bible 27 times.
Twenty six of twenty seven times
‘pasca’ is translated ‘Passover’,
and once it is translated
‘Easter’.
It is my contention from the context
that the missing once,
should also be translated
‘Passover’, and not ‘Easter’.
Therefore the word Easter should not appear in the bible at
all.
Additionally you will not find the word ‘Christmas’, in the
bible.
Easter is
the most important day in the Roman Catholic Calendar,
and
Catholics are urged to attend Confession.
It
is the Roman Catholics, who sit in Satan’s seat,
who
ultimately determine when Easter will be celebrated.
See our
document: The
Abomination Of The Confession
To see
some of the details of the pagan origin of Easter,
read David
Meyers article here. The Pagan origin
or Easter.
Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the
LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen,
and
be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
We
have shown that the crucifixion was not on Friday,
and
neither was the resurrection at Sunday sunrise.
The
only remaining question, is that now that you know the truth,
about
Easter, what are you going to do about it?
What
will you chose ?
Will
you decide to remain in Babylon or to come out of Babylon?
You
have a decision to make.
Be Humble Repent Listen To The Eternal God Obey Him.
This is very easy to say, but I
assure you that it is physically an impossibility without the empowerment of
the Eternal God.
Just going up to some altar call,
running to some church, or isolating yourself in the hope that somehow it will
all go away, will not do it.
What are you going to do about it before it is too late?
See Video: Obedience Is The Only Way Of Escape
