The Truth about Orthodox Easter, Its Assyrian Origin:

Step 1: Pray now!
Step 2: Open your bible now
Step 3: Read entire article with your bible
Step 4: Fast and pray more!

Brethren, please read this entire page with your bible before you make any decision. Do not believe us but believe Your bible! The truth is the truth no matter how much it will change your life! The truth must be told! Please lay aside all your wisdom and knowledge and open your minds to the Holy Word of God and to His revelations. Almost everyone around the world believe what they believe because it is what they were taught by their parents, family, friends, community, ministers and tracts. But the bible does not say to believe what the world teaches and what people tell you.
The bible says in 1 Thes. 5:21 "Test all things; hold fast what is good."
:22 "Abstain from every form of evil."
Romans 12:2 "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
So, lets study this subject closely and see what God whats us to know.

Both history and the bible reveal that Easter was celebrated before Christ was even born! What does Easter eggs, rabbits, Easter sunrise service and hot cross buns have to do with Jesus? Nothing, just the opposite! Easter eggs, rabbits and all the greenery associated with Easter symbolize fertility/sex. The bible even warns against the Easter sunrise service and hot cross buns.
Click here to see an article on the internet written by "Christians" who keep Easter sunrise service, which details how to do an Easter sunrise service Notice it's a 100% match to the following scriptures:

Ezekiel 8:15 "Then said he to me, Do you see this, son of man? You will see wrost practices than these.
(Whatever he had just seen, he's about to see something worst.)
:16 So he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, there at the outer entrance of the Lord's temple, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men. They stood with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces in the opposite direction (opposite direction from the temple); and they were worshipping the sun.
(Notice this is a religious observance done by people who usually worship in the temple/church, but this time they are outside facing the sun!)
:17 Then he said to me, Do you see this, son of man? This is not a trivia thing for the house of Judah to commit these lawless acts which they commit here, is it? For they have filled the land with lawlessness, and behold they are those who treat Me with comtempt.
:18 As for Me, I will treat them in anger. My eye will not spare, nor will I have mercy."

Did you read the above scriptures in your personal paperback/hardback bible today or just only on this website?
If only online, I encourage you to please open your bible and read these verses both on our website and in your bible. There is power in reading the real bible. Also, did you pray before beginning to read about this specific subject today? If not, I encourage you to take the time now to pray for understanding of truth.

Every Easter, millions of people enter the dark grave yards and back yards of churches across the land in the early morning while still dark. This is a huge abomination to the LORD! God calls homosexuality, bestiality and witchcraft an "abomination", but He also calls Easter & Christmas an "abomination"! Therefore, to keep ancient Assyrian, Babylonian, pagan holidays is equal to murder, homosexuality and witchcraft. It is spiritual adultery against God. You cannot truly claim that you are saved and "going to Heaven" if you are observing demonic, satanic Babylonian holidays that God calls "an abomination"!

Now notice what the bible says about Hot Cross Buns:
Jer. 7:18 "Their sons gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead cake dough to the host of heaven, and they pour out drink offerings to foreign gods to provoke me to anger."

Who was the "host of heaven" of pagan gods? Queen Ishtar also known as Queen Eshtar or Easter!

Matt. 7:22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!

Matt. 15:8 "These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me."
Mark 7:7 "And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."

(Worship who? Worship God. But how? In vain! and how? By teaching false doctrines!)

Excuse: I'm not doing Easter for pagan reasons, I'm worshipping God, so what's wrong with it? I am just taking something that was pagan thousands of years ago and translating it into something for Christ!
Answer: Matt. 15:9 "And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
People claim that I'm taking Matthew 15:9 out of context. But regardless of the context, Jesus is still saying that people worship Him in vain, teaching the doctrines of men. So regardless of whether He is talking about the Jewish ritual of washing hands, or Easter or anything else, the fact remains true that Jesus is speaking against holding men's traditions over and above his true commandments. To completely ignore this verse when speaking of Easter, is to ignore the fact that Jesus wants us to worship Him "in spirit and truth".

Deut. 12:30 Take heed to yourself that you seek not to follow them, after that they be destroyed from before your face; and so not inquire after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.
:31 You shall not do thus with the LORD your God: for every abomination LORD hates they done with their gods; for they burn even their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.
13:1 Every word I command you today, be careful to observe. You shall not add to it, nor take away from it.

God does not want us to take the ancient pagan Assyrian & Babylonian holidays that worshipped false gods (demons) and observe Him with those same pagan days. He is Holy! It is nasty to worship Him with demonic holidays! He has set rules. You can't just justify your owns ways, we must follow His ways.

Passover is a biblical holy day that God told us to keep. Whereas, He never told us to observe Easter or Christmas, because Easter and Christmas have nothing to do with Christ. That is why satanists and pagans do not have a problem keeping Christmas and Easter. What? You may say the world is against Christmas and Easter. But if you do your research, it's not the satanists and pagans that are trying to keep these days out of the school systems! It is the atheists who do not believe in either God nor the devil! But the witches and pagans and satanists actually observe the same Christmas and Easter as the Christians! As Christians, we must refrain from all appearance of evil. We must abhor (hate) evil. We must distance ourselves from evil. We should not be doing the same thing as the world does. The world keeps Easter and Christmas even though they have no respect for Jesus Christ and salvation. As Christians, we need to come out of the world and be very different and holy, clean and undefiled. I fully encourage you to please please please pray and fast concerning Easter and Christmas and what God would have you to do! I am not asking anyone to believe me. Do your own research and study and fast and pray and seek God's Will.

The Word Easter Found in the Old Testament


The following verses are from The Alpha & Omega Bible, which is an excellent translation of the ancient Greek scriptures. It's a great alternative to the Orthodox Study Bible because the Orthodox Study Bible is based more upon the religious opinions of modern men instead of the actual Greek manuscripts! The Alpha & Omega Bible is more true to the accuracy of the Greek scriptures.

Joshua 24:33 "AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTERWARDS THAT ELEAZAR THE HIGH-PRIEST THE SON OF AARON DIED, AND WAS BURIED IN GABAAR OF PHINEES HIS SON, WHICH HE GAVE HIM IN MOUNT EPHRAIM.
IN THAT DAY THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL TOOK THE ARK OF THEOS (The Alpha & Omega), AND CARRIED IT ABOUT AMONG THEM; AND PHINEES EXERCISED THE PRIEST'S OFFICE IN THE ROOM OF ELEAZAR HIS FATHER UNTIL HE DIED, AND HE WAS BURIED IN HIS OWN PLACE GABAAR: BUT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL DEPARTED EVERY ONE TO THEIR PLACE, AND TO THEIR OWN CITY: AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WORSHIPPED EASTER, NAMELY "ASTAROTH", AND THE GODS OF THE NATIONS ROUND ABOUT THEM; AND JESUS DELIVERED THEM INTO THE HANDS OF EGLOM KING OF MOAB AND HE RULED OVER THEM EIGHTEEN YEARS."

(Many people think that "Ishtar" should be pronounced with an "i" sound, and that "Astarte/Ashtaroth" should be pronounced with an "A" sound. But the truth is that all these words are the same and must be pronounced starting with an "E" sound. All these words must be pronounced as "Easter". All of these different spellings refer to the same ancient Assyrian, Babylonian pagan goddess/demon that was worshipped by the symbolism of rabbits and eggs in the Spring of the year. The Greeks and other cultures also worshipped this demon and this tradition was embraced by the Roman Catholic Church, and then later by the Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists and other false Christianity sects. The Alpha & Omega Bible correctly translates these words as "Easter". It doesn't matter that you might watch/listen to a million videos where they pronounce it with an i sound or A sound, or how many "professors" claim that it should be pronounced with an i or A sound, the fact remains that they do so out of ignorance. There is no doubt that Ishtar/Astarte/Ashtaroth is the very same demon as Easter. No doubt! The bible, when correctly translated, strictly and directly forbids the worship of Easter!)

Judges 2:13 "AND THEY PROVOKED JESUS, AND FORSOOK HIM, AND SERVED BAAL, NAMELY "EASTER."

1 Samuel 31:6 SO SAUL DIED, AND HIS THREE SONS, AND HIS ARMOUR-BEARER, IN THAT DAY TOGETHER.
7 AND THE MEN OF ISRAEL WHO WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VALLEY, AND THOSE BEYOND JORDAN, SAW THAT THE MEN OF ISRAEL FLED, AND THAT SAUL AND HIS SONS WERE DEAD; AND THEY LEFT THEIR CITIES AND FLED: AND THE PHILISTINES CAME AND DWELT IN THEM.
8 AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE NEXT DAY THAT THE PHILISTINES CAME TO STRIP THE DEAD, AND THEY FOUND SAUL AND HIS THREE SONS FALLEN ON THE MOUNTAINS OF GELBUE.
9 AND THEY TURNED HIM, AND STRIPPED OFF HIS ARMOUR, AND SENT IT INTO THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES, SENDING ROUND GLAD TIDINGS TO THEIR IDOLS AND TO THE PEOPLE.
10 AND THEY SET UP HIS ARMOUR AT THE TEMPLE OF EASTER, AND THEY FASTENED HIS BODY ON THE WALL OF BAETHSAM.

1 Kings 11:4 AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE TIME OF THE OLD AGE OF SOLOMON, THAT HIS HEART WAS NOT PERFECT WITH JESUS HIS THEOS (The Alpha & Omega), AS WAS THE HEART OF DAVID HIS FATHER.
5 BUT (his heart was) TO EASTER THE ABOMINATION OF THE SIDONIANS.

1 Kings 11:33 "BECAUSE HE FORSOOK ME & SACRIFICED TO EASTER THE ABOMINATION OF THE SIDONIANS, AND TO CHAMOS, AND TO THE IDOLS OF MOAB, AND TO THEIR KING THE ABOMINATION OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON, AND HE WALKED NOT IN MY WAYS, TO DO THAT WHICH WAS RIGHT BEFORE ME, AS DAVID HIS FATHER DID."

2 Kings 23:13 "13 AND THE KING DEFILED THE HOUSE THAT WAS BEFORE JERUSALEM, ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MOUNT OF MOSTHATH, WHICH SOLOMON KING OF ISRAEL BUILT TO EASTER THE ABOMINATION OF THE SIDONIANS, AND TO CHAMOS THE ABOMINATION OF MOAB, AND TO MOLOCH THE ABOMINATION OF THE CHILDREN OF AMMON."

2 Chron.15:16 "AND HE REMOVED MAACHA HIS MOTHER FROM BEING PRIESTESS TO EASTER; AND HE CUT DOWN THE IDOL, AND BURNT IT IN THE BROOK OF KEDRON."

2 Chron. 24:18 "AND THEY FORSOOK THE HOUSE OF JESUS, The THEOS (Alpha & Omega) OF THEIR FATHERS, AND SERVED EASTER AND IDOLS: AND THERE WAS WRATH UPON JUDAH AND JERUSALEM IN THAT DAY."

Ishtar/Easter idol

The remaining bible verses in this article are from the Orthodox Study Bible, whose New Testament is the NKJV and not a true translation of the Greek manuscripts. The NKJV is based too much on the Assyrian Masorect received texts rather than the much more reliable Greek texts. But nevertheless, I quote from the Orthdox Study Bible, because this article is geared toward the Orthdox believers.

Question: Is it enough to just believe in God and do whatever we want to do?
Answer: No,
James 2:19 "You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!"

Question: Is it possible that the whole world is wrong?
Answer: Yes,
Rev 12:9 "So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

Question: Is it possible to worship God but that worship be in vain?
Is it possible that some ministers use the name of God but yet deceive people?
Answer: Yes,
Matt 15:9 "And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
Mark 7:7 "And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men."
Romans 1:21 "because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things."

So the bible does clearly teach that the whole world has been deceived and that some people do worship God in vain and that some men teach the commandments of men instead of the doctrines of God and that some people are vain in imaginations and claim to be wise when really they are not.

Antichrist also keeps Easter
Alawi is the only Islamic sect to claim Jesus as the Son of God and as God and to observe communion, Christmas, Easter and believe in the trinity! No other Muslim leader could possibly deceive people into accepting Islam as easily as Bashar Assad and the Alawis' sect leaders. This is the only Muslim antichrist that could possibly tell Christians that they don't have to give up Jesus as God, Christmas, Easter and the trinity doctrine. They can continue to keep all their pagan customs of Christmas and Easter and the trinity doctrine and just accept Bashar Assad as the re-incarnation of Jesus and Allah. The Alawis believe that Muhammad, Allah, Jesus and Bashar are all the same person, just in different time frames. Just as the Roman Catholic Church also allowed the people to continue to keep the pagan customs of Christmas and Easter in order to get them to accept the Roman Catholic Church, so will also Bashar Assad allow Christians to continue these same ancient pagan days, as long as they accept him as god and convert to Islam. These days actually fit perfectly into their pagan worship. Christmas, Easter & the trinity doctrine all originated in ancient Assyrian & Babylon as Islamic holidays and Islamic doctrines. Easter & Christmas were originally Islamic holidays! The Islamic antichrist, Bashar Assad, will continue to promote his ancient Assyrian, Islamic, satanic holidays to people who call themselves "Christians" & make excuses that they can keep satanic holidays because these satanic holidays worship God. Hog wash! You cannot worship the Holy God with satanic trash! Jesus hates Easter & Christmas. It's an abomination unto Him!

The Assyrian origins of Christmas, Assyrian origins of Easter, Assyrian origins of the Trinity doctrine, Assyrian origins of the so-called Star of David, Assyrian origins of the yah names all point toward the Assyrian son of perdition and the Assyrian invasion of the nations.

In ancient Assyria, the rabbit was considered sacred. The Assyrians used the rabbit and eggs in their worship of the goddess of spring fertility called "Ishtar", correctly pronounced "Easter". For more information about the Assyrian origins of Easter, please read the two articles below:
