I am re-posting this blog because of the weekend most of the world is celebrating.
If you want to continue reading parts 2 -4, I will be posting them on www.ohmy2u.blogspot.com throughout this weekend:-) You will be amazed at what you will learn about the Resurrection!
It is now the weekend that many in the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Passover celebrates Israel's deliverance from the death angel that passed over their homes, and no harm came to the firstborn of Israel or anyone who may have been in their home that night, if they had put the blood of a Passover lamb on their doorposts. They were instructed to kill the lamb and wipe the blood on their doorposts. Exodus 13:27, "That ye shall say, It [is] the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped." That blood represented Jesus Christ's blood that is shed for us to protect us from eternal death! I Corinthians 5:7 says, "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:" Just as Israel was to kill a lamb representing Jesus, so our sins killed Jesus, the true Passover Lamb.
1John 1:7 says, " But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." Only a Holy Creator God can create life, and die for that life in order to give life again. Only a Holy Creator God can recreate us spiritually, and change us on the inside. Jesus is willing to do that for you and I, and He did just that on the cross. He gave His life, so you and I can have new life now, and life eternal when He comes again, very soon!
Moses was resurrected hundreds of years before Jesus appeared as Messiah, as result of Messiah the Redeemer to come. In Matthew 27 it talks about many that came out of their graves as soon as Jesus came out of the tomb. That is the power of Creator God!!!!!!! When Jesus came out of that tomb, He knew millions would do the same at His second coming, (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18). He KNEW He had conquered death for you and I!!!!!!! (1Corinthians 15:51-55)
Friday is actually what the Jews called the Preparation Day, and that evening at sundown begins the Holy Sabbath, "And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on," Luke 23:54. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. Matthew 28:1 So, we can conclude that Jesus rested in the tomb on the Sabbath, and rose the first day of the week, Sunday.
When you think about it, the Seventh day Sabbath was the first full day that Adam &Eve spent with each other and their Holy Creator God, Genesis 1:27-2:3.
If you do a careful search about the word (Easter) it does not originate from (Aramaic, Hebrew, Egyptian, Greek, or Latin). It is derived from an Assyrian Language. The Assyrians had a pagan ritual and feast to celebrate the arrival of spring and fertility and new birth. The Assyrian word (Ishtar) is translated into the English word Easter. The Assyrians believed in many gods as well, and they brought this pagan celebration into the northern kingdom of Israel when they captured it and took the inhabitants into captivity prior to the Babylonian Captivity of the whole land, including Judeah. This Ishtar celebration used the animal of the rabbit as a creature to worship because of its symbol of fertility and reproduction, so the Easter bunny was a pagan idol. Part of the ritual included giving presents to one another, and those that did not have means to give, used eggs, dyed and put into baskets with grass, and left them on the porch of a neighbor's home.

By the time of the Roman occupation, and three centuries after Christ's sacrifice, death, and resurrection, Constantine, (emperor of Rome), made and edict to change the Worship of Sabbath to Sunday in honor of the Worship of the Sun god, combining the resurrection of Jesus with this first day. "And, they would think to change times and laws", Daniel Chapter 7. So, as time, generations, and centuries passed, this "Edict of Milan" included the celebration of ishtar, around the pagan worship of the sun, and to coincide with the passover. From 329 AD to 538 AD with the power, seat, and authority given to the papacy (pope or bishop of Rome) from the Emperor of Rome; this easter ritual has been a mainstay, not only in the Catholic church, but among protestant churches, to continue to celebrate this pagan tradition that masks the truth about the changing of God's Holy Day of worship from the 7th Day of the week (Sabbath) saturday - to - the 1st day of the week (Sunday).
Baptism by immersion is a symbol of Jesus' death, burial and reurrection. Romans 6:4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
It is good to remember Jesus' sacrifice burial and resurrection for us, every day, and I am taking this opportunity to do so now, on this weekend. God bless all of you and He loves all of you, His children, more than you can imagine. He wouldn't have allowed His Son to go through what He did, if He didn't love you.
I am not judging anyone, but just like to share truth:-) God loves you as much as He loves me!
