the custom of the Jews, a people who have soiled their hands in a most terrible
outrage, and have thus polluted their souls, and are now deservedly blind. Since we
have cast aside their way of calculating the date of the festival, we can ensure that
future generations can celebrate this observance at the more accurate time which we
have kept from the first day of the passion until the present time...."
[Emperor Constantine I - Following the Council of Nicaea]
With these words, the Roman Catholic Church rejected the Biblical observance of
Passover, the date on which Christ was crucified, and adopted the pagan observance of
Easter. Thus the holy was replaced by the profane, and the body of Christ was induced to
eat foods sacrificed to idols.
Revelation 2:20-21
“I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a
prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that
they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.
Remember, the words of Revelation are spiritual words. Even though there is a very
real sense in which the people of God eat physical foods in honor of false deities through
imbibing Christmas and Easter ham, Easter eggs, hot crossed buns, and various associated
treats, it is the spiritual substance of these words that is most important. Eating things
sacrificed to idols is a spiritual reference to the church feeding on doctrines of demons.
Hebrews 13:9-10
Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the
heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have
been occupied with them.
Observe in these words how the phrases “various and strange doctrines” and “foods
which have not profited” are used in parallel to one another. The church feeds itself on
doctrines. The Jezebel spirit teaches and leads the bond-servants of Christ astray so that
they eat things devoted to idols. The church observes dates and practices that formerly were
associated with the worship of Baal and Asherah.
The mystery religions teach that Semiramis was immaculately conceived, being
lowered from the heavens to the earth in a giant egg. This egg came to rest in the waters of
the Euphrates river. Eggs are symbols of fertility, and as Semiramis was a fertility goddess
the symbol of the egg became thoroughly associated with her worship. Those who knew
Semiramis under the name of Ishtar spoke of Ishtar’s egg, from which we get our current
Easter egg.
