JESUS’ DEATH AND RESURRECTION – LESSON 4

RESURRECTION DAY BEGINS TONIGHT

Based on our 2022 Julian Calendar and the biblical timeline, today (4-18-2022) is the third and final day of Jesus’ time in the tomb (and Hades). Sundown today (Monday) begins the Jewish day of Tuesday. When we go back to the original date that corresponds to the biblical account, Jesus arose after sundown on the Jewish calendar on Saturday. This started Sunday on the Jewish timeline. Therefore, this evening at sundown begins the true Resurrection Day of Tuesday, April 19, 2022.

Yesterday’s Easter Sunday is not the day of Jesus’ true resurrection. Passover is different every year. Because of this, Resurrection Day only happens on a Sunday about every seven or eight years. In the 4^th century the Catholic Church chose to always celebrate it on a Sunday, contrary to the biblical timeline based entirely upon the day of Passover. They took the Jewish feast out of the picture to determine this. They also chose to rename Resurrection Day after a pagan goddess Ishtar (‘eesh-tar).

Let us review that paganism. Pagan gods and goddesses appear under different names according to the geographical region and ethnic culture. They are the same gods but called by different names.

The Accadian Empire (from Akkad) was an early empire in Mesopotamia. It followed the Sumerian civilization. Sumer is the earliest known civilization of mankind after the flood and the tower of Babel. The Accadians’ chief goddess was Ishtar, the goddess of sex, prostitution, alcohol, and (later on) war. She was the same goddess of the ancient Sumerians named Inanna, the “Queen of the Heavens.” Inanna would likely be comparable to “Mary, Queen of the Universe” (heaven), worshipped by the Roman Catholic Church.

Ishtar, and Inanna were also called Astarte. Astarte is the Greek form of Ashtart, who was one of three sexual love and fertility goddesses along with Asherah and Anath, of the Canaanite pagan pantheon (group).

The Israelites adopted the pagan Canaanite gods as their own in defiance of Jehovah. Worship of Asherah is found throughout the Old Testament. In the KJV the references to her is to the “groves.” In the NIV it clearly identifies the groves in association with Asherah, a Canaanite goddess of sexual love and fertility like Ishtar (Astarte, and Inanna). References include Deuteronomy 16:21; Exodus 34:13; II Kings 17:10 and 23:7; Micah 5:14; and many others.

It is a disappointment that the Church chose the pagan fertility goddess Ishtar to associate with Jesus’ resurrection.

It may be also noted that the pagan worship of praying to Mary (a graven image) as “Queen of the Universe” (the heavens) also is much like Inanna, “Queen of the Heavens” (the universe). It is practicing idolatry.

We will return our focus to Jesus’ resurrection tomorrow, Tuesday, April 19, 2022, the true day of remembering the resurrection for this year.

FIRE ALARM

When I was in grade school, they periodically would have a fire drill. The fire alarm would go off and we had to systematically and orderly leave the school. We had a fire escape that was a long metal tube. Kids on the upper floors of the school would go down the shoot. These drills were done to prepare for a fire.

In the season that we are in I have never seen more “fire alarms” go off by prophets than I have in years. Many are sounding the alarm that major trouble is coming. This ministry sounded the alarm in the fall of 2019 that there would be many things happening that would impact lives and to prepare for them in 2020 and beyond. Most everyone didn’t heed that call. Some did. 

In 2020 words came out by numerous so-called prophets that 2020 would be a great year. It would be a year of “vision.” Many prophesied that the sitting President would get a second term. Basically these “words” were false alarms. They did not happen. 

In Amos 3:7 it says, “Surely the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” You can be sure that God spoke to his true prophets about what was coming and continues to do so. How do you determine if it is a real fire alarm or a false alarm? There will be a witness in your spirit, and it will never contradict scripture. Do not determine a “fire alarm” going off by how big a person’s ministry is or how well known they are. There will be ministries that fail to speak truth. They will give out “feel good” messages even when flames of hell fire are burning.  

I believe the fire alarm is sounding loudly. I hear it saying, prepare, prepare, prepare. I know of one prophetess that spoke about the Ukraine and war. Where were the rest of the voices? What if true prophets had given the word for them to prepare? Do you think things would be different over there if they had heard from God through His prophets?

Also, we can hear from God ourselves. We do not have to go to a prophet to get a word. They aren’t machines where you put a nickel in and you get today’s “word,” although the way some prophets work, they will give you a “word” for money. This is not biblical at all.

I John 4:1 tells us, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (test) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” How do we test them? Again, by the witness in your spirit and if it lines up with scripture.

As I said, I believe the alarm is sounding and it will not cease to sound. Food will soon become scarce. Famine is coming. Prepare for hard times. Money will be so inflated that it will be like Revelation 6:6 where a measure of wheat (one quart) will take a days’ wages to purchase. When there is no grain, like in the days of Joseph, many will perish because they didn’t listen to the “alarm” and figured all was well.   Be ready! Prepare! The alarm is sounding.
