Easter Sun Rise Service

From the death of Yeshua until 135 C.E., the Nasorean Church in Jerusalem, presided over by the relatives of Yeshua, was kept free of any change to the calendar of services. However, after the Bar Kochba revolution, the Nasorean Church was all but destroyed, some say by the collaboration of the Pharisees and the Paulines. Subsequent to the fall of the dynasty of David as rulers of the whole church, the Patriarch of Antioch began to celebrate Pesach as a Christian day, called the Lord's Passover, and it was called Resurrection Day or Pascha. 

The feast of Pascha or Easter became the most important feast in the Christian year and the Vigil service was the most important service of that feast. The people had fasted throughout the forty days prior to Pascha and now the catechumens were brought forth for baptism. At this time, the process of joining the Christian churches took some time. A person must first profess his belief in Christ; then he had to study the traditions and scriptures for a period of time and undergo weekly exorcisms; and then and only then was the person permitted to be baptized into Christ. The event of baptism occurred late at night and often the catechumen came out of the water just as the sun was rising and he or she felt that she had arisen from the dead just as had Christ on that first Resurrection day. 

In 1732, the Moravians, a very early protestant group, had a group of single men go into the local cemetery and there with hymns and preaching they welcomed the new day as a proclamation that Christ had indeed risen and was not in the grave. This tradition quickly spread throughout the protestant churches of the colonies and the idea of an Easter Sun Rise Service became firmly established in protestantism. However, it should be noted that the service is not present in the great historical liturgical traditions of Roman Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Lutheranism, and Anglicanism. This is a distinctly protestant tradition. 

In Ezekiel 8:16-17, the Prophet describes what he saw in a vision that he was told was happening in Jerusalem. He says:

     Then he (the Holy Spirit) brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and there are the door
     of the Lord's Temple, between the vestibule and the altar, were about twenty five men with their backs
     to the Lord's Temple and their faces toward the East; they were bowing down to the Sun. Do you see,
     Son of Man? he asked me. Is it such a trivial matter for the house of Judah to do the abominable
     they have done here -- for they have filled the land with violence, and again and again they have
     provoked me -- that now they must also put the branch to my nose?

The modern evangelicals have made this blasphemy, this abomination, a thing of great moment. And yet G-d forbids sunrise services as abomination. This is one more sign that the Devil has entered into the modern non-liturgical churches. Do not be led astray. Easter Sun Rise Services are abomination and should be avoided at all costs.

There Are No Palestinians

Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad told Egypt's Al-Hekma TV on March 23, 2012: 


Every "Palestinian", in Gaza and throughout "Palestine", can prove his Arab roots -- whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere. We have blood ties. ... Personally, half my family is Egyptian. We are all like that. More than 30 families in Gaza are called Al-Masri (Egyptian). Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half Saudis. ... Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian, Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians. We are Arabs. We are Muslims. We are a party of you."

Newt Gingrich said:


"Remember, there was no Palestine as a state. It was part of the Ottoman Empire" until the early 20th century, Gingrich said.
"I think that we've had an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs and who were historically part of the Arab community. And they had a chance to go many places, and for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel now since the 1940s, and it's tragic," he said.
Most historians mark the start of Palestinian Arab nationalist sentiment as 1834, when Arab residents of the Palestinian region revolted against Ottoman rule.
Scripture says that Jacob had a brother named Esau. He was given Mt. Seir as his domain. Mount Seir is specifically noted as the place that Esau made his home (Genesis 36:8; Joshua 24:4). It was named for Seir, the Horite, whose sons inhabited the land (Genesis 36:20). The children of Esau battled against the Horites and destroyed them (Deuteronomy 2:12). Mount Seir is also given as the location where the remnants "of the Amalekites that had escaped" were annihilated by five hundred Simeonites (I Chronicles 4:42-43). Mount Seir is also referenced inEzekiel 35:10 ("A Prophecy Against Edom")
Thus we learn that the Amalekites and the Edomites united to become the hated scourge of the Jewish people. After all, it was the Amalekites that attacked the Chosen in the wilderness and then it was Haman, the descendant of King Agag of Amalek who tried to wipe the Jews out completely. 
The Edomites became the Petrans and they took huge pieces of the the Negev desert and fought the Herods for control of all of Israel. 
Thanks to the Hamas Minister, Gingrich, Scripture, and the Story of Esther we know that there are no Palestinians at all. They are Arabs and not entitled to a single inch of the Holy Land. 
It is time that we recognize that these people of so-called Palestine are liars, thieves, and enemies of G-d's Chosen. They are not really Muslims at all because on this important issue they will not submit to Allah. G-d commanded Saul to eliminate all the Amalekites and we should do that to any one who denies G-d's deed of the Holy Land to the Jews.
