How Did We Get Here?
Today, most of the world celebrates:
- Christmas on Dec 25
- Easter with rabbits and eggs
- New Year with drunken countdowns
But you won’t find those commanded in Scripture.
You will find:
- Passover
- Unleavened Bread
- Firstfruits
- Shavu’oth
- Trumpets
- Atonement
- Tabernacles
“These are the feasts of YAHUAH…” — Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23
The Pagan Roots Nobody Wanted to Talk About
History shows:
- Saturnalia and sol invictus around Dec 25
- Fertility symbols (eggs, rabbits) fused into “Easter”
- Roman church power blending pagan festivals with “Christian” branding
Result:
- Pagan rhythms with “Jesus” labels
- YAHUAH’s appointed times pushed to the side
Why the Swap Matters
- Calendar = Culture
- Holidays Teach Theology
- Pagan-based days disciple you into mixture
- YAHUAH’s feasts disciple you into covenant
- Prophetic Timing
Leaving Pagan Days, Embracing YAHUAH’s Times
This doesn’t mean being hateful to family. It means:
- Studying the Feasts in Vayiqra 23
- Slowly shifting your family’s focus
- Explaining why you no longer celebrate certain days
- Honoring YAHUAH’s appointments with joy, not pride
The Call to the Remnant
You can’t help being born into mixture. But you can choose not to stay in it.
From pagan holidays to set-apart times. From tradition to truth.
Follow the calendar of the King.
