Untruths, Deceptions, and Make-beliefs of Easter Sunday Exposed Today! Part 4 Of 4

So then, the counting of the “three days and three nights” ordained by Elohiym for Yahushua to remain in the tomb prior to his resurrection—a count that was being done by Elohiym Himself, while standing over the body of His beloved son in whom He is well-pleased so as to do His job of promptly raising him back to life—started at the 6:00 pm that commenced 14th Abib. The resurrection of Yahushua, therefore, had to be at the 6:00 pm prompt that commenced 17th Abib!

As explained earlier on in this treatise, the day of the resurrection was ordained and scheduled by Elohiym to be at the commencement of the Seventh Day of the Week or Shabbat, even before He laid the foundations of the Earth!! On this predetermined day and date, it was mandatory for Yahushua to join his Abba and all holy children of Elohiym to rest from their works; and so, Yahushua was not to be found still in the tomb working to bring salvation to sinners on that Shabbat day, for him to later on resurrect on a First Day of the Week (Sunday?) at dawn as is claimed by Christian clergymen!!

From the foregoing, it is easy to go backwards in day-counts to enable us determine the actual days of Yahushua’s sacrificial death, his arrest and last supper, as well as his triumphant entry into YahuSalem, all of which would now be obviously different from what Christian clergymen have misinformed their followers about for as many years now as close to two millennia!!

With resurrection hour revealed to be at the start of the Seventh Day of the Week or Shabbat (Saturday?), the burial of Yahushua could only have been at the sunset hour of 6:00 pm that commenced the Fourth Day of the Week (Wednesday?), his last supper and sacrificing were on the Third Day of the Week (Tuesday?) and, lastly, the day of his triumphant entry into YahuSalem would have been on the previous Sixth Day of the Week (Friday?), two clear days to the Palm Sunday that is being touted by Christian clergymen! Waaow!! Can you imagine that??

The erroneous beliefs preached by Christian clergymen—that the triumphant entry of Yahushua into YahuSalem happened on a so-called Palm Sunday, together with the belief of a so-called Good Friday as the day of burial of the Savior and a completely false Sunday [Easter] morning resurrection—have all come about as a result of one badly translated misleading verse in the English Bible! This verse is John (YahuKhanan?) 19:31, where mention is made of the word “preparation” in relation to a coming “Shabbat day” observance.

By this verse, Christian clergymen have assumed very wrongly that because every Seventh Day of the Week or Shabbat day (Saturday?) must always be preceded by a period of “preparation” during the afternoon of the Sixth Day of the Week (Friday), then this verse, John 19:31, must only be understood in that light.

But then, not every “preparation” toward a Shabbat day must happen only on Friday afternoons, simply because not every Shabbat falls on the Seventh Day of the Week (Saturday?)!! Yes, some Shabbat days fall on any of the days of the week and not necessarily on the Seventh Day of the Week alone, and so the “preparation” for their celebration will not be on Friday afternoons as is generally the case.

These Shabbat days, which do not fall as the Seventh Day of the Week, are days that are declared holy days because they are feast dates (not days) determined by Elohiym.

The ignorance of Christian clergymen of the fact that there are two kinds of Shabbats which have an obvious distinction [in dates and days] between them has misled Christians into thinking that the “preparation” mentioned in John 19:31 was in reference to a Friday afternoon activity, and hence their long-held wrong belief of a Friday evening burial of Yahushua!! This simple error has, sadly, resulted in a huge denial of the wisdom and truth of Elohiym by Christians; and consequently, a denial of the blessing of salvation!

It is sad that, even though Christians’ belief in a Friday evening burial for Yahushua makes their proclamation of a First Day of the Week resurrection a glaring error and an obvious wrong in the light of MattitYahu 12:40 and YahuKhanan (John?) 2:19, they have not sought an investigation and correction to their belief in this regard for as long as close to two millennia now! How could that be??

In fact, it was unpardonable for Christian clergymen to fail to correct themselves of the effects of their obvious error in assuming that “preparation” day activities toward Shabbat must always be in the afternoon of the Sixth Day of the Week (Friday?), and hence to deliver themselves from the effect of their wrong notion that Yahushua was buried on a Friday evening! For, in the instance under our consideration, we read from John 19:31 KJV Bible that the “preparation” mentioned there was toward “an high day” Shabbat, and not the normal Seventh Day of the Week Shabbat!!

Therefore, the word “preparation” in John 19:31 should never have been misunderstood to mean a Friday afternoon activity and, thus, ought not to have misled Christian clergymen to suppose that Yahushua was buried in the evening of Friday (the beginning of the Seventh Day of the Week).

You see, all Christian clergymen are all of Goyim descent—for, no true children of Yisroel can ever believe the Goyim name JESUS CHRIST in any serious search for the salvation message of Elohiym which saved their fathers, simply because the name JESUS CHRIST is foreign to them!

Yes, the name JESUS CHRIST is conspicuously absent from the full complement of names in the genealogy of Ivriim (Hebrew men) begotten out of the loins of Avraham, from the days of old to when their expected Deliverer was born to the house of Melek Dovid in Beit-Lechem (Bethlehem?); a holy genealogy that is destined by Elohiym to teach His salvation message to all, including the Goyim of Earth, simply because, primarily, “salvation belongs to Ivriim (Hebrews)”—cf YahuKhanan (John?) 4:22.

Therefore, no true Ivriim of the past, nor any today, could ever accept Christianity as a holy religion because it is tied to this name—JESUS CHRIST—and, thus, will forever remain alien to all children of Yisroel today since Christianity has never been known to be related to the faith (the way) of their fathers; not even in the days of Shimon Kefa, MattitYahu, YahuKhanan, etc!!

Now, because Christianity is taught by a Goyim-only Christian clergy—without the involvement of the children of Yisroel, who are the custodians of the genuine message of salvation of Elohiym and are mandated by Him to teach it to all mankind—is the reason why Christianity is a non-saving religion!!

You see, every year Christians teach during their Easter Sunday conventions or meetings that, if the Savior had never resurrected, they would have been the most pitiful of all people since they would not have had the benefit of salvation, which they claim to have and declare was only made available to them in and by the timely resurrection of the Savior!

But then, what is the relevance or value of a resurrection which, per the beliefs of Christians, is bedeviled by untruths, deceptions, inaccuracies and make-beliefs? For, can anyone answer truthfully and correctly that the Savior of mankind, who was sacrificed outside the walls of YahuSalem in ca. 30 CE, was called by the Goyim name JESUS CHRIST even when this particular Goyim tongue came into being around 600-700 CE, several centuries after the demise of the Savior??

Was the one who died on Mt. Gulgotha for the sin of the Earth indeed called JESUS CHRIST?? No, and never; on the day when the true Savior died, the name JESUS CHRIST was even unknown on Earth! So then, the question is: What was the name of the one who died in order for Elohiym to have the sin of mankind taken away? The answer is simple: It was Yahushua! Sadly, this truth is yet to reach Christians by revelation from Elohiym.

Christians need this revelation just as it was needed in the year that Yahushua resurrected, where those who even witnessed his empty tomb did not believe in the resurrection of the Savior until a spiritual revelation later dawned on them for them to believe in their own visual witness of the empty tomb of the Savior—YahuKhanan (John) 2:21-22!

When Christians catch the revelation which they so much need concerning everything about the true name of the Savior [Yahushua] by which all sinners must be saved according to Ma’asim (Acts) 4:10-12, the reasons for his sacrificial death, the actual days and times of his burial and resurrection, and how one may access or come into the blessings Yahushua’s life and death have made available to mankind, which is through repentance and tevilah (a dip in natural flowing waters; baptism?) in and into his true name [Yahushua], they would find themselves on the narrow way to Eternity!

Otherwise, if the beliefs of Christians remain hinged on the name JESUS CHRIST, which remains unproven as belonging to the Savior, and on all their misconceptions surrounding the Savior’s resurrection, then their fate is just as though Elohiym had never sent His son to save the Earth, or that the Savior died but never resurrected at all!

For, what would it benefit anyone if indeed Yahushua did resurrect according to the schedule and set time of Elohiym, but the one was rather taught to believe untruths, inaccuracies and naked deceptions that are contrary to what really occurred; and even celebrate these untruths in relish annually?

Did the Savior resurrect at dawn?? No; he resurrected at the sunset hour of 6:00 pm! Did he resurrect on the First Day of the Week (Sunday)? No; he resurrected at the commencement of the Seventh Day of the Week!

Because Christian clergymen have no discernment of the Word of Elohiym concerning His appointed feasts is why all the terrible errors they have committed concerning the resurrection of the Savior have eventually taken them and their followers from observing the Shabbat of the Seventh Day of the Week to an over-veneration of Sunday (the First Day of the Week), and thus their perennial breaking of the Fourth of the Ten Commandments.

The celebration of Easter is an affront to Elohiym since He never mandated it; for, He neither has a hand in the choice of its name Easter (Astarte, Ishtar??), nor does he have a hand in the choice of its day or date of celebration, the name of the personality being celebrated, or its manner of celebration!

My dear reader, while pondering over the issues I have raised in this article against the celebration of Easter, I pray you will opt out of this pagan ritual whenever its illegal celebration is again declared in the future by an ignorant Christian clergy! Shalom aleikhem!
