I'm sitting here thinking about Palm
Sunday and Easter Sunday and wondering about their true origin. I mean what
does bunny rabbits and colored eggs have to do with the death, burial, and resurrection
of the Messiah? So I decided to do some research. Surprisingly I found a lot of
videos on YouTube on the subject. This one was very informative. It is in two parts.

It is amazing to me how much I didn’t realize
I didn’t know, especially when it comes to seemingly innocent religious or holy
holidays, until I went searching. Like so many of you, most of what we believe/celebrate
was passed down to us by our parents and other people we were exposed to while growing
up. Even as an adult, a lot of what I practiced was done purely out of habit or
because everyone else was doing it. Like celebrating Christmas, Thanksgiving, and
yes Lent and Easter. But when you take the time to research their origin you
become aware that these seemingly holy holidays had very little, if not nothing
at all, to do with God as we know it, but more to do with sinister things. 
As
the YouTube video documentaries shared, they are rooted in Paganism, but what
is Paganism/pagan? While I felt I knew what it was (that a Pagan or gentile (as
they are sometimes referred to) is anyone who practice a religion outside of Christianity.
More specifically pagans are known for their belief in other god’s beside the
God of Israel Yahuah) I looked it up on Wikipedia just to be sure. 
As Wikipedia put it, “Paganism is a term that derives from the Latin
word pagan, which means "nonparticipant, one excluded from a more
distinguished, professional group". The term was used in the 4th century,
by early Christian community, in reference to populations of the Roman world
who worshipped many deities. In and after the Middle Ages, paganism was a
pejorative [derogatory term] that was
applied to any non-Abrahamic or unfamiliar religion, and the term presumed a
belief in false god(s).”
Anyway, the more I learned about
the origin of these seemingly innocent holidays, the more I was shocked and appalled
about the deceptiveness of those who dispensed information and fed us all those
lies for centuries, more specifically my Sunday’s school teacher and pastors. Just
about everything I was learning goes against what I was taught. So many things
were revealed including the fact that we are out of Yahuah’s order. I even got answers
to questions I didn’t even know I had. Yes, it was that deep. Like why we
worshiped on Sunday and not Saturday. Why the New Year begins in January
instead of March. Why they stopped using the Hebrew calendar and why so many
scriptures were changed and books removed from the Bible.
It was all done to
confuse and misdirect us from the truth. Have you ever heard of Constantine the
Great or the First Council of the Nicaea? Well Constantine was a Roman Emperor
from 306 to 337 AD who enacted many administrative, financial, social, and
military reforms to strengthen the empire. It was Constantine who organized the First Council
of the Nicaea. According to Wikipedia, “The First Council of Nicaea was the first
ecumenical council of the Church. Most significantly, it resulted in the first
uniform Christian doctrine, called the Nicene Creed. With the creation of the
creed, a precedent was established for subsequent local and regional councils
of Bishops (Synods) to create statements of belief and canons of doctrinal
orthodoxy—the intent being to define unity of beliefs for the whole of
Christendom.” In essence it was the beginning of the end. With Constantine’s
influence, the Council of Nicaea was responsible for organized religion as we
know it.
Interestingly enough, Constantine
himself was not a Christian but rather practiced some of the very pagan rituals
we celebrate today. Organizing religion under one umbrella was his way to
control the people and eventually incorporate some of, if not all of his paganist
beliefs and rituals. It also allowed him
to maintain control over the people he considered to be a threat. “Another
result of the council was an agreement on when to celebrate Easter, the most
important feast of the ecclesiastical calendar, decreed in an epistle to the
Church of Alexandria in which is simply stated: We also send you the good news of the
settlement concerning the holy pasch [Easter or Passover], namely that in
answer to your prayers this question also has been resolved. All the brethren
in the East who have hitherto followed the Jewish practice will henceforth
observe the custom of the Romans and of yourselves and of all of us who from
ancient times have kept Easter together with you.”

There really is way too much information
for me to go into here and I am not trying to preach to you. Truth is, I don’t know enough to try to repeat
it. This type information is best coming from the source. Don’t want to risk
misrelating information. Hopefully I have piqued your interest/curiosity enough
for you to want to research it for yourself. I am on a quest for truth. The
path can be dark at times but I press on because this information is way too
important to my desire to learn who I am and who my biblical ancestors were.
But more importantly it is critical for me to
get back in the will of Yahuah. As a people, as a nation, we will never truly
escape slavery and be reconciled to Yahuah until we learn who we are, turn from
our wicked ways, and get back to our roots of upholding all of Yahuah’s mandates
including but not limited to observing the first commandment – “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”
said Yahuah. Have you not been deceived enough?
If you are fed up with the lies or even have a desire to know the truth, do the
research. Discover who you are. Do it for yourself. If not for you, then do it
for your children, grandchildren, and those to come. It is time for an awakening.
Mines has begun. What about you? I’m Just Saying. I got issues – what about
you?
