IS EASTER PASSOVER?

A teaching to clearly distinguish that EASTER and PASSOVER are different:
EASTER is always on a Sunday
PASSOVER is always on a full moon —which can be on any day of the week.
EASTER this year, was on March 31, 2024
PASSOVER this year, was just on Tuesday the 23rd of April: a full moon.

These two are not figured the same way:

EASTER is the first Sunday after the Vernal Equinox (when daylight hours & light hours are equal).
EASTER is also the Sunday after the full moon —that is the full moon that follows the Equinox.

PASSOVER is on the full moon of the first biblical month of the new year.
Now when Moses (Moshe, Musa) lead God’s people out of Egypt, he was told by YAHWEH our God, “this month will be the first month of the new year.” The barley of Egypt had just been destroyed by the great big hail of the 8th plague. So, when the barley is ripe in Israel (called Aviv or Abib) that is their first month. Also, their months are not like our calendar. Their months go strictly by the moon.
PASSOVER is always on the 14th day of the moon cycle: making Passover always be on
the full moon.

EASTER occurs once in the King James version of the Bible in Acts 12.4. (Also in the same verse in the German Lutheran Bible as Ostern.

PASSOVER occurs 72 times in the Bible. It is in:
EXODUS
LEVITICUS
NUMBERS
DEUTERONOMY
JOSHUA
2 KINGS
2 CHRONICLES
EZRA
MATTHEW
MARK
LUKE
JOHN
ACTS
2 CORINTHIANS
HEBREWS

A careful study of Acts 12.4 reveals Easter replaced the Greek word πασχα which is pronounced PASCA and means PASSOVER.

So the question is: if EASTER and PASSOVER are not on the same day or even the same month (this year), and they are not figured the same way, then why is the Greek word PASCA (πασχα) translated as EASTER in the King James version (and in the German Lutheran Bible): and only in one verse:
Acts 12.4?

The answer is that it is a deliberate insertion of the name of a pagan god worshiped by the Anglo-Saxons and the Germanic tribes dueling the time the Bible was translated into those languages.

Venerable Bede, An early historical writer in the 700’s clearly states that Easter is the name of the English fertility goddess.

Fertility goddess worship goes back to Genesis and the Tower of Babel: before all people were scattered into different languages, cultures and lands. Therefore the fertility goddess name changed many times.even in the Bible: Asteroth (which is the plural of Ashter). Also, Artemus of the Ephesians is another name. One other Biblical reference is the Queen of Heaven (or Queen of the Sky) who in the Scriptures is NOT referred to as Mary (Miriam, Maria) the mother of our Jesus (Yeshua the Jewish Messiah), but it refers to a fertility goddess in the book of Jeremiah.

All this being said, what do we do? How do we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus (Yesu, Yesua, Yeshua)?

Easy, do it the way God set it uo thru Moses. the Bible says: the Sunday after PASSOVER is called First Fruits!

FIRST FRUITS is WWJD’s next video.
