As I look forward to the Easter Sunday, I have to wonder. Have we lost the true meaning of Easter? Why chocolate bunnies and eggs? The word ‘Easter’ is not found anywhere in the Bible. It came about long after the Passover week when Jesus was crucified, dead and buried, and, on the third day of Passover, rose again. That is what we should be celebrating. The word ‘Easter’ does not mean resurrection or anything concerning Jesus at all. So why do we call the first Sunday of Passover Easter? And why do we use bunnies and eggs to celebrate with? I remember, from my church history classes back in college, that many of the pagan holidays were incorporated into the Roman Catholic Church calendar and given Christian meanings.

The Reason for Easter
Many of us celebrate Easter with chocolate, Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies. But this is not what Easter is all about. First of all, the word Easter is nowhere in the Bible. There are sources that have a theory of where the word began. Suffice it to say, it has nothing to do with Jesus’ death and resurrection. I am going to walk you through the last week of Jesus’ life before the resurrection.

Before the Beginning
This year I’m determined to read the Bible through. However, I may not make it because, since the first of the year, I have only gotten as far as Genesis 28 (as of today January 28, 2023) and this is why. When I began reading in Genesis, I was struck by just how many times Jesus was reflected in those Scriptures. Some are very bold pictures and some you might need to read between the lines to see it.

GOD HAS NEVER HAD A WIFE
God did not then, or ever, have a wife and for that matter, neither did Jesus. No matter which conspiracy theory you hear about the Merovingian Dynasty of France, or any other supposed bloodline of Jesus, those theories are just that, theories. Unproven theories. The ideas of people trying to make Jesus seem less than the Son of God that He is. There is no basis of fact for them to stand on. Satan brings this kind of stuff up over and over again to lead people away from the Truth of God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

God Still Answers Prayer
I want to tell you that God STILL answers prayer. He cares about the things that are important to us, just as much as He cares about us. He takes care of the birds and animals in the field. Why wouldn’t He take care of us, too?

As Jesus Returns Christians Will Vanish
There are so many viewpoints of what will happen when Jesus returns, and Satan is forever defeated. I am going to try to answer some questions you may have. If I don’t cover your question, please comment and I will try to address it. This is long and yet is very. Read the Book of Revelations. It’s all there. There are also prophecies regarding the end of time in Daniel and Ezekiel. Remember I am not a preacher or theologian. I am just sharing what I have learned.

The Flood is not a Myth
It is obvious that a cataclysmic flood event took place. Today, many people are calling it a myth. Some try to downplay it and say it was just a regional event. But the fact that every people group across the globe has such a story in their folklore tells me that it is not a myth.

March 5, 2023 First off, I want to apologize for the delay in getting out the last blog post, “Heart Thing”. I was dealing with some spiritual warfare. For some reason, I couldn’t get the last blog page to post. Satan did not want that blog to post. I haven’t figured out just what he…

It’s All In a Day’s Work
March 3, 2023 I was recently questioned about the six days of creation. The gentleman said that God’s “day” of Genesis 1, the “day” of the original writers, and our interpretation of “day” may be totally different concepts. He also said that because of the language drift that occurs over time that words may not…

No Matter the Language It’s Still Jesus
This morning, I spent a considerable amount of time ‘talking’ with a reader. It seems he believes that we are not following the right Messiah because Jesus is not the name of the Messiah, Yeshua is. I have done a little bit of reading up on this. Each transliteration of the name of Jesus is limited by the alphabet of the particular language it is translated into.
