“When you come into the land which YHWH your Elohim is giving you, do not learn to do according to the abominations of those gentiles.”
Jeremiah 10:2
“Do not learn the way of the gentiles”
Yet, this exactly what the world has done especially for the followers of YESHUA. The believers have self-assimilated and become just like the nations around them that were pagans and Hellenistic (learning Greek culture.) As always, I want to expose the darkness with the light of YESHUA.
Father’s day happens close to the beginning of the summer solstice which takes on pagan roots tracing back to Nimrod aka Baal. This day represents worship of the “Sky-Father” or “Father of the Universe.” Father’s Day is based after Egyptian and Babylonian customs in their worshipping of the “sun god” which is why it is observed on the third Sunday in June. (truenation.org). As I stated earlier we are to honor our parents every day as YHWH commanded us in the 10 commandments and not on these pagan days that honor the sun deity. And technically YHWH is our Father in Heaven and we are His children; therefore, since we worship and serve YHWH The Elohim of Yisra’el that makes every day Father’s Day to our ONE FATHER!
Nimrod’s name means “to rebel” and that is exactly what he did, he rebelled against The Elohim of Yisra’el. He built the Tower of Babel thinking he could climb into the heavens and kill YHWH with arrows if YHWH thought about flooding the earth again, which is where scripture states, he was a mighty hunter before YHWH, because he wanted to hunt down YHWH and commit his abominable acts right before His face. One the ways we know Nimrod rebelled is that one of the cities he built in Babylon was called Calneh which literally means the “fortress of anu”. Who was anu? In Mesopotamia he is called the sky god, the father of the gods the ruler of the heavens. Yes, the same one that is being worshipped on this pagan father’s day was introduced by Nimrod aka Ba’al.
As Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 1:9 There is nothing new under the sun what has been done before will be done again, so doesn’t that make you question why the world does the things they do the traditions? Are we recreating pagan rituals as I have exposed in other broadcasts and blogs? According to Judah2Israel the pagans would tie ribbons around the necks of the animals that they sacrificed and prayed to their pagan deities. Now the world buys their dads neck ties to replace the ribbon around the animals and tie it around their necks which is indirectly participating in a satanic ritual. See the deception?
Amos 5:21-26 fits for all pagan days and I’ll explain why, YHWH says
“I have hated, I have despised your festivals, and I am not pleased with your assemblies. Though you offer Me burnt offerings, I do not accept them, nor do I look on your fattened peace offerings. Take away from Me the noise of your songs, for I do not hear the sound of your stringed instruments. And let Right-Ruling roll on like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream. You brought Me slaughtering’s and meal offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Yisra’el, but you took up Sikkuth your sovereign and Kiyyun, your idols, your astral might ones, which you made for yourselves!”
YHWH firstly says that He hates the festivals and assemblies that man has conjured up with the inspiration of Satan that is not in Scripture. The world does not want to celebrate the days of YHWH found in Leviticus 23, but rather celebrate the days of the world.
Secondly, He says they offered burnt offerings and fattened peace offerings which the world has recreated on these pagan days by cooking on the grill (this applies to those who cook for the purpose of celebrating these days and inviting family and friends over) and cooking up a large meal on Thanksgiving for example. Saying you are giving thanks to Him when in fact He does not even acknowledge these days, He hates them.
When you plan these days in advance because the world commanded you to take off so you can enjoy the pagan day with a big meal then you are indirectly partaking in these festivals. Then they have drink offerings with the alcohol to have a good time and we have all heard the saying “I’m going to pour out some for the people that aren’t here.” Then at the cook out or the days such as xmas, new year’s etc. loud secular music is played to have a good time and YHWH says take the music out of His ears. Simply put, the world has recreated pagan rituals and say it’s for YHWH, but He says it’s for your idols or your elohim (gods). Do not acknowledge these days, but desecrate them.
The end result of this is Amos 8:10 saying
“And shall turn your festivals into mourning”
Everything they do is based on pagan sun deity worship disguised under a different name. The world is just recreating pagan rituals under another format. Sun worship is found in Ezekiel 8:16
“And he brought me into the inner court of the House of YHWH. And there, at the door of the Temple of YHWH, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the Temple of YHWH and their faces toward the east, and they were bowing themselves eastward to the sun.”
They worship the creation and not the Creator, they just prepackaged sun worship for the world with the guidance of Satan. Let us stop participating in these pagan events and follow The Way, The Truth, and The Life YESHUA! Break free from the curse by giving your life completely to Him and Him alone. Remember, being Holy literally means set-apart. So let us set ourselves apart from the pagan nations and cultures around us. Share this with others and as always may YHWH bless you in YESHUA’S Name, Ahmein!
