Where did the heathen festival of Easter originate and how did it become an integral part of Catholic/ Protestant theology? To answer these questions one must understand that the celebration of Easter centers around three personages: Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz. The elevation of lust to deity level began with the death of Nimrod, a Biblical character of considerable status who was directly responsible for the building of what came to be known as the Tower of Babel. Recall that Nimrod was the head of much, if not most of the earth’s population that had traveled to the plains of Shinar where, having developed a common language, they decided to build a city with a tower that would reach into the heavens. By doing this they were trying to accomplish two basic things: 1) to “make a (singular) name for ourselves” (form one race through miscegenation–interracial sex), and 2) rise high enough that they could not be destroyed by another flood. Recall also that God destroyed the city and the tower then scattered the people by dividing them into different languages and sending them into different areas of the world.
Following the death of Nimrod, Semiramis found herself with child long after such should have been the case. This created a problem. Her explanation for the “immaculate conception” that had “happened to her” centered around the following story concocted by the grieving widow. Upon his death Nimrod was supposedly transported to the sun where he became the sun god. Not wanting the people to be without a human ruler, he impregnated Semiramis with his rays. The miracle baby, Tammuz, was born on December 25th. Amazingly, a number of heathen gods were born on that date. Tammuz was put forth as the divine Son of the divine Sun God. This made Semiramis the Mother of God, prompting her to assume the title of “Queen of Heaven.” It is from this scenario that the “Mother and Child” theme entered the world of heathen religion. Following the influx of pagans into the apostate church, the Mother and Child theology was adopted by her in an effort to placate her pagan “converts.” When the so-called “Protestant Revolution” took place the protesters took many of their mother’s heathen beliefs and customs with them, Easter being one of them.
As the worship of Semiramis and Tammuz spread throughout the Eastern world, mother and child came to be worshiped under various names in various places: Ashtoreth (Astarte) and Baal, Cybele and Attis, Aphrodite and Adonis, for example. That the Lord condemns the worship of such false deities is brought out in Judges 2:11-15; 3:7,8; 10:6,7/ 1 Kings 11:4-6,31; 16:30,31; 22:51-53, as well as in Commandment #1. To celebrate Easter is to practice idolatry in that the two personages involved–Semiramis and her miraculously conceived, miraculously resurrected son, Tammuz–are supposedly gods. She is the Goddess of Fertility honored through the use of eggs and rabbits. He is the messiah of the Institutional Church who arose after lying dead for one day and two nights in the grave. THE CHURCH WORSHIPS A HEATHEN GOD–THE CHURCH PRACTICES IDOLATRY. To be continued. L.J.
