There’s a sorrow in my heart when I see the pastel banners go up. Bunnies. Candy eggs. Sunrise services. Churches dressed in celebration—but honoring something Christ never asked for. We were told to follow Him. Instead, we’ve been following Rome.
This isn’t harmless tradition. It’s deception—rooted in Babylon, cloaked in church language, and spreading across the world like leaven.
Easter Is Not in the Bible!
Easter is not a command of God.
Some English Bibles mistranslate Acts 12:4 as “Easter,” but the original Greek word is Pascha—Passover. Every ancient manuscript confirms it. Not once did Yeshua (Jesus) or the Apostles celebrate “Easter.”
The name “Easter” comes from Ishtar, a Babylonian fertility goddess. Her symbols—eggs, rabbits, sunrise rituals—are the same ones many churches embrace today. These are not signs of resurrection. They are remnants of ancient idol worship.
“Do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.’ You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way.”
— Deuteronomy 12:30–31
“He said to me, ‘Have you seen this? Women weeping for Tammuz… men worshiping the sun toward the east.’”
— Ezekiel 8:14–16
Sunrise services, weeping statues, holy eggs—this is not of God.
We Were Told to Remember His Death.
The resurrection of Christ is our hope—but nowhere in Scripture are we told to celebrate it as a holiday. What we are told to remember is His death, and to do so in the context of Passover.
“With fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.”
— Luke 22:15
“As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”
— 1 Corinthians 11:26
Christ kept the Passover—not Easter. He died on the 14th day of the first biblical month, was buried during Unleavened Bread, and rose on First Fruits. The timeline is built into the biblical feasts—yet the church has discarded them.
The first biblical month is called Abib (also spelled Aviv), which means “green ears” or “ripening grain.” This month begins at the sighting of the new moon closest to the spring barley harvest and near the spring equinox (Exodus 12:2, Exodus 13:4, Deuteronomy 16:1).
Exodus 12:2 – “This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.”
Exodus 13:4 – “On this day you are going out, in the month Abib.”
Deuteronomy 16:1 – “Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover unto the Lord thy God…”
When is the 14th of Abib in 2025?
To determine this, we align with the biblical calendar, which starts with the first visible crescent moon after the spring equinox and the ripening of barley (used for the First Fruits offering).
In 2025:
-
The spring equinox is on March 20.
-
The first new moon after the equinox is expected on the evening of March 30, 2025 (this would begin Abib 1).
-
Therefore, the 14th day of Abib would fall on the evening of April 12 through sunset April 13, 2025.
That’s when the Passover lamb was to be slain between the evenings (Exodus 12:6), and it’s the exact timing Yeshua (Jesus) fulfilled in His crucifixion.
God’s Holy Days Still Stand
“These are the appointed feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.”
— Leviticus 23:4
God never changed His calendar. Man did.
Here are the Holy Days God told us to keep—forever:
- Passover – 14th day of the first month
- Unleavened Bread – 15th–21st of the first month
- First Fruits – the day after the Sabbath during Unleavened Bread
- Shavuot (Pentecost) – 50 days after First Fruits
- Trumpets – 1st day of the seventh month
- Day of Atonement – 10th day of the seventh month
- Tabernacles – 15th–21st day of the seventh month
- The Eighth Day – 22nd of the seventh month
These are not “Jewish” feasts. They are God’s.
Projected 2025 Dates (Based on the Biblical Calendar)
- Passover: April 12 (evening)
- Unleavened Bread: April 13–19
- First Fruits: April 20
- Shavuot: June 8
- Trumpets: Sept 22 (evening)
- Atonement: Oct 1 (evening)
- Tabernacles: Oct 6–13
- Eighth Day: Oct 13 (evening)
These days are prophetic. Christ fulfilled the spring feasts. He will fulfill the fall ones at His return.
The Great Lie: Times and Laws Were Changed
“He shall speak against the Most High, and wear out the saints… and think to change times and laws.”
— Daniel 7:25
The Roman church replaced God’s calendar with its own. It changed the Sabbath to Sunday, replaced Passover with Easter, and buried the truth under centuries of man-made doctrine.
Even today, churches stand behind pulpits pushing Roman lies in God’s name—preaching another Jesus, with another gospel, on another calendar.
And the Bible warns what happens next:
“Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins and receive of her plagues.”
— Revelation 18:4
The Final Call: Come Out of Babylon
If your church celebrates Easter, it is celebrating Babylon.
If your pastor preaches resurrection without Passover, he is preaching Rome.
If your faith is built on tradition, not Scripture, it is time to break free.
This isn’t just about a holiday. This is about obedience. About truth. About worshiping God in spirit and in truth—not through rituals He never ordained.
The time of passive faith is over. Come out of Babylon. Come out of counterfeit Christianity. Come back to the narrow road. Return to the God who still calls His people by name.
The door is still open. But it will not remain open forever.
“The Lord is our Judge. The Lord is our Lawgiver. The Lord is our King. He will save us.”
— Isaiah 33:22
