Some already know this pagan history, but many do not know how exactly the dyeing and hiding of Easter's eggs fits into pagan history. I'll soon get to this most disturbing truth. Read on.
There are two groups of Christians, as put forth in Christ's parables and in His revelation to John. In chapter 12 of Revelation there is depicted the true Church of God, all the spiritual virgins who keep themselves pure by "keeping the commandments of God and the testimony of Salvation the Anointed (Jesus Christ)." Then there are chapters 17 and 18 which depict the spiritual whores who have fornicated true worship with pagan worship and breaking the commandments of God in order to keep the traditions of men.
Today most who call themselves Christians more closely follow Rome's false religion of Christianity rather than follow Christ. They keep the feast of Easter to celebrate Christ's resurrection, without any authority from Christ. Historically Easter's feast celebrated her son Tammuz's resurrection from the dead, as he was killed by a wild boar at the age of forty, and it's said that is why ham is customary to eat during Easter's feast.
Those who worshiped Easter and Tammuz would go Easter's temple. Virgins would be impregnated by the temple priest(s). The following year, each and every year, the three-month-old infants would be sacrificed. Eggs would then be dyed red with the infants' blood, buried in hopes of good fertility (for the land, etc.), and the belief was that they'd hatch several months later on Tammuz's birthday, December 25.
Still today in some churches (Catholic and Orthodox and perhaps some Protesting Catholic churches) Easter's eggs are only dyed red. It is explained to the sheep that it symbolizes Christ's blood, but where in the scriptures do we find a feast of God that involves dyeing eggs and celebrating Christ's resurrection?
The scriptures say:
When the ETERNAL your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go to possess them, and you succeed them, and dwell in their land; Take heed to yourself that you be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before you; and that you inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. You shall not do so to the ETERNAL your God: for every abomination to the ETERNAL, which he hates, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it (Deut. 12:29-32).
However, then, when you knew not God, you did service to them which by nature are no gods. But
now, after that you have known God, or rather are known of God, how
turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto you desire
again to be in bondage? You observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed on you labor in vain (Gal. 4:8-11).
Are you keeping rituals in your Christianity religion that you do not understand? Are you letting your children participate in Easter's egg dyeing and hiding? Do you believe it's innocent fun since you're using commercial synthetic dyes and not sacrificed infants? Or are you horrified that you've been taught that such traditions have been adopted by the Church of Rome and are still kept by her protesting daughters? Do you believe keeping such things honors Christ, or would you rather not keep the adopted pagan holy days and instead keep the holy days God commands under the new covenant?
The days are found in Leviticus 23 of your bible. They were kept differently under the old carnal covenant than they are now under the new spiritual covenant, but they are still the Eternal's holy days, and they foreshadow things to come (see Colossians 2:16-17). It's important to know the meaning of these holy days that the true Holy Father commands and to stop following after the traditions of the false holy father of the false whore church in Rome.

Stay tuned with the upcoming blog posts leading up to the new covenant Passover and Unleavened Bread feasts. I'll be giving away one free copy each of two books, my God's Law of Love, the Perfect Law of Liberty: Jehovah's Ten Commandments Still Apply Today and fellow brother in the Lord Keith Hunt's The Biblical Prophets for Today. These are testimony to the law and the prophets.
