Happy^Easter
Easter Sunday is a Babylonian, pagan holiday which idolizes the fertility, sex goddess Ishtar, aka Astarte aka Easter who is Nimrod’s widow, Queen Semiramis. On Easter Sunday, 70 virgins are impregnated. The following Easter, the 3-month-old infants are sacrificed to Ishtar and eggs are dipped into the blood. This explains the ritual why eggs, which are symbols of her fertility, are dyed or painted on Easter. And the bunny rabbit that multiplies like crazy is a token of her sexuality. When you dress up to celebrate this day and say “Happy Easter”, you are worshiping Ishtar the fertility, sex goddess. Easter has NOTHING to do with King Jesus (Jesus Christ from the Geek).

Church Lies
Throughout the years, paganism, denominational religion, politics and plain ol’ deception have crept into the doctrine of King Jesus. Today’s western, gentile churches are deceiving God’s people unto destruction by these lies. Christians think they are glorifying God by wearing flashy clothes and being puffed-up on Easter Sunday. This sounds more like vanity and pride to me. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees of His day for wearing flashy robes (Luk. 20:46) and praised the Apostle John as the greatest person, who dressed like a bum (Luk. 7:24-28). God hates Easter.
Good Friday is another lie that isn’t even in the bible. How can you get three days and three nights from around 5pm on Good Friday to around 5am on Easter Sunday? The most you can get is 1 1/2 days. The Pharisees wanted to get King Jesus off of the cross before the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which began at sunset on Passover, because the Jewish leaders did not want dead bodies left on the crosses during the Feast (John 19:31). If they took Him down and placed Him in the tomb before sunset Wednesday, then our King could have rested peacefully for 3 whole days before getting up after sunset Saturday.
God’s Holidays
The truth is The Feasts of The LORD are God’s High, Holy Days (Lev. 23:1-44) that King Jesus has/will fulfill. He was crucified on Passover, buried during The Feast of Unleavened Bread, resurrected on The Feast of Firstfruits and He has sent His Holy Spirit on Pentecost (The Feast of 50 Days). When He comes back, He will:
- Rapture the remnant of the elect, Mat.24:22 and I Thessalonians 4:16-18 (what remains of the 144,000 of the 12 tribes of Israel that the Beast hasn’t killed yet towards the end of the Tribulation), on The Day of Trumpets. The Antichrist would have done away with the Church by the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation. See ‘His Name is Jesus, He is Coming Back! The Last 7 Years‘
- Atone for the sins of the Nation of Israel and they will accept Him as their Messiah (Their King) on the Day of Atonement. The world-ruling Antichrist is against Jesus, Jews and Christians. When the Antichrist starts persecuting the Jews, they will cry out to Jesus and He will fight for them by the second half of the Tribulation.
- Split the Mount of Olives with His feet and He will dwell on earth among us as our King at the Holy City Jerusalem on The Feast of Tabernacles (Zech 14:1-11), just like when God dwelt among us in a Tabernacle and the Israelites dwelt in tents in the desert. All of the nations will go up to Jerusalem to worship King Jesus every year on this Feast throughout Jesus’ millennial reign (Zech. 14:16-20).
Passover Prophesy
During the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, each family was to select a perfect lamb without blemish and sacrifice it. Then they were to sprinkle its blood on the doorframe to cause the Destroying Angel to Passover and not kill the first-born of that house. The Israelites were commanded to never forget this day by celebrating it every year (Ex. 12:1-14).
Know Your Roots
God has started out with Israel who has done a wonderful job of preserving His living oracles. His gifts and His call are irrevocable (Rom. 11:29-32). The gentiles have been grafted into the branches, not the supporting roots, of Israel at the cross (Rom. 11:17-21, 24-27). There is no “Gentile Entrance Gate” to the New Jerusalem Holy City. The New Testament did not fall out of the sky. It is the continuation of, and constantly refers to The Old Testament (Judaism minus the Oral Law), which shall by no means pass away until all have been fulfilled (Mat 5:17-20). When you don’t teach the fundamental, Hebrew Roots of Christianity, you allow Christians to believe stories like:
Jesus was a clean-shaven, black man with woolly, kinky hair. He was born on Christmas day, killed on Good Friday and was resurrected on Easter Sunday. The church that He has founded has been granted licension (license to sin) through grace. She has replaced Israel and heaven has replaced Jerusalem. Since He has done away with The Old Testament and the Sabbaths, it is O.K. to worship pagan gods on pagan holidays.
Passover Fulfilled
The way that Israel would recognize The Messiah (The King) is that He would fulfill all that has been written about Him, especially The 7 Feasts that Israel has been rehearsing for thousands of years. King Jesus has fulfilled The Passover Feast by laying down His life, on the very day and hour of Passover, as the sacrificial Lamb of God to save the world from destruction (John 1:29, John 19:28-30, ). Anyone who applies Jesus’ blood over his/her life by faith will be saved.
Observe Passover
As believers in King Jesus, you do not have to observe Passover like the Jews do. However, since it now represents to us the Love of God when He sent His perfect Son to suffer and die for our sins, who we owe our life, is reason enough to do everything possible to glorify our King on this anniversary. Dressing up for Ishtar and telling your kids Pagan stories of an Easter bunny that is coming to bring Easter eggs dipped in blood, is probably idolatry. At the very least, try to keep the day holy because it is a High Sabbath onto our King. God does not have a problem giving us the things we pray for. Can we offer up obedience and the sacrifice of our heart’s desires to make Him happy?
This year, Passover begins at sunset Monday, April 22, 2024 and ends at sunset Tuesday, April 23, 2024. The Feast of Unleavened Bread immediately follows at sunset Tuesday, April 23, 2024 until sunset Tuesday, April 30, 2024. The High Sabbaths are 4/22 and 4/30/2024. Compare these dates to Easter Sunday, which begins at midnight on Sunday, March 31, 2024. Reform and Progressive Jews living in Israel observe the festival for 7 days. However, Orthodox and Hasidic Jews and Jews living outside of Israel celebrate an 8-day feast, which is the Holy day and the day before the Holy day to make sure they celebrate the correct day due to an historical confusion that threw off the Hebrew calendar by one day.
Note: Passover falls on the fourteenth day of the first month of the year on the Hebrew calendar. This is called the month of the Aviv. It is calculated by observing the maturity stage of barley in Jerusalem. If the stage of barley is at two weeks before it is ripe, then that month is the month of the Aviv, or else Aviv defaults to the next month (April). It makes sense because the barley is needed, a couple of days after Passover, for the Firstfuits offering. Pagan Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. These two holidays sometimes coincide, but they can also be weeks apart.
When we observe Passover, we honor The Father and exalt The Son high by remembering He was the sacrificial Lamb of God without blemish whose blood saves us from destruction. I wish you Happy salvation from destruction because His blood causes it to Passover us or simply, “Happy Passover.”
No Passover Deceptions
I am The StreetPreacher, preaching the gospels of King Jesus and His Kingdom on the streets of New York City from a Hebrew perspective. I do not want you to perish from religious, political or government deception. Therefore, I pray for you:
Holy Father up in heaven, You are so great in the way that you operate. You have revealed Your ways to Your humble children. However, Father God, even at this time there are still some who are mislead. In Yeshua’s name, I pray that You will open their hearts and minds to understand the deep mysteries of Yeshua through Your typecasts, foreshadows and patterns. I believe that it is true.
Pray with me with your mouth saying:
Father God who is most gracious, we thank you for always answering our prays. In the mighty name of King Jesus we ask that You reveal Your ways to us concerning Yeshua and Your appointed feasts so that we can serve You in Spirit and in truth. Amen.
Help Tell Others
The StreetPreacher needs your help to tell others the truth about Easter Sunday and Passover. I print and freely give out thousands of custom gospel tracts with this and similar content as the Lord provides.
The gospel tracts are printed out on a Xerox Color Laser printer which uses high-capacity toner cartridges of:
Black ~ $195
Yellow ~ $200
Magenta ~ $220
Cyanamide ~ $210
and 2 cases of glossy paper ~ $100
Every year I spend about $1000 on supplies depending on the number of tracts I give out. Recently, I have been printing out tracts on plain paper using only black ink to cut back on expenses so I can print more tracts. I thank Yehovah that the website is currently paid up for a couple of years. Anything that you can contribute to spread the good news of The King and His Kingdom will be greatly appreciated.
I believe the God of heaven, earth and truth will bless you for your support and I thank you as well.
