"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,
my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues."
my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues."
What do we think that means? I know some who think this means that they need to pack their bags and leave the United States. I actually personally know people who believe that. Who is the 'her' of Revelation 18:4? Please notice that it is a female. It is not a nation; it is a church. The 'her' of Revelation 18:4 is the great, harlot church.
What does the harlot church teach? Among other things, she teaches the observance of the 'sacred' days of false gods and goddesses.
I make no bones about it; the origin of Easter is pagan. The very word 'Easter' is a simple transliteration of the goddess worshiped in ancient times as Ishtar. She is still worshiped today?
No? Ya vol!
We already know all about Easter, so why another post?
Because Christians don't realize what they are doing when they dye some hard-boiled eggs. We don't seem to be getting the point of what's wrong with that activity. We seem to have forgotten Yeshua's mandate to separate ourselves from all the trappings of the worship of false gods.
That is what the dying of eggs is. It is something that the pagans did as part of the worship of Molech. They dipped boiled eggs in the blood of the infants they were offering to Molech. It is still practiced, albeit in a modified form, by the Eastern Orthodox Church. They dye their boiled eggs red (not in blood these days). They don't even remember why they do it. Go online. See for yourself.
Now why would people who know that the dying of boiled eggs was part of a pagan ceremony honoring a false god, dye eggs at the same time of year that the pagans did?

Many people say the word 'Easter' without knowing that to do so is an offense to God. Having said that, I'm sure readers will respond in the common way; "Ah, come on. How can it be that saying 'Easter' offends God."
Quite frankly, I don't know. I'm just reading Exodus 23:13 same as you. I just know that I don't want to offend him, and this one seems pretty easy to NOT do.
Do I really believe that saying 'Easter' offends God? Yeah; I do. Praise God for his grace and repent. That's his admonition to us.

And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect:
and make no mention of the name of other gods,
neither let it be heard out of thy mouth." (Exodus 23:13)
