Don’t dismiss it yet. The title is a citation of a “New Testament”, “end times” verse.
It comes from Revelation 18:4, which is Yeshua speaking, saying,
“Come out of her, O my people, so that you may not become partakers of her sins, and lest you be smitten by her plagues. For her sins have reached up to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she has rewarded you, and return to her a double portion according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix for her double.”
This verse must mean that, whoever “she” is, God’s people are “in” her. She is going to be punished for her sins. She has ‘rewarded’ His People with ‘something’: she is ‘drunk with the blood of the Holy ones [God’s people], and so God is going to shed her blood.
Verse ten tells us who ‘she’ is. ‘Woe, woe, that great city Bavel, that mighty city! For in one hour you have been condemned.’
Bavel is the Hebrew name for “Babylon”. This verse in Revelation is not given in isolation. And the ancient city of Bavel/Babylon was destroyed. A city is a ‘collection of people’. Bavel is ‘confusion’ and mixture.
“Revelation” is the ‘pealing back of the curtain’ for us to see what ‘was’, what ‘is’, and ‘what will be’. [Rev 1:19] We in 2025 are right now still in the ‘is’ of the book, as the ‘what will be’ was given in Revelation 4-22. The ‘was’ section was given in Revelation 1, and it is what “John” ‘had seen’, His gospel, and his letters to the congregations to whom he wrote [1st, 2nd, and 3rd John] after this event on the Isle of Patmos. The ‘what is’ is the seven letters to the seven congregations. Those still apply to those of us who trust in Yeshua today, yet no one is reading them with the intent to change their behavior, ignoring Yeshua’s warnings to all the congregations.
The ‘what will be’ section will start with a catching away, and immediately the emergence of the False Messiah, who will dupe the whole world into a one-world religion consisting of all three Abrahamic faiths: Judaism and Christianity, with Islam. It will be a marriage of a harlot to a false husband. Toward the end of that tribulation, the ‘harlot’ wife will be rejected by the false husband, and God will destroy ‘her’ first. That is why He is warning His People to ‘Come out of Her’. And it is not the ancient ‘city’ of Babylon, it is “Mixture Religion”. It is religious “Confusion”. “Bavel” means “confusion”.
Yeshua gave to the seven congregations many rebukes and many warnings of punishment. The most harsh warning was to the congregation that had the spirit of “Jezebel”, who was causing God’s people at that congregation to commit harlotry and worship idols. This is the very thing the OT Jezebel did, IN ISRAEL, even though she was a priestess of Ba’al, the trinity of Canaan. She married a ‘false king’, “Akhav”, whose name means “Father-Brother”.
Jezebel caused Israel to worship Ba’al [“Lord”], and Asherah [Easter], blending them together into a pagan trinitarian marriage of religion. Jezebel didn’t just bring Baal — she brought the full Ishtar-Baal pantheon, ‘three in one’, complete with temple prostitution, child sacrifice, and syncretized rituals. [‘Syncretized’ is a fancy word for MIXTURE RELIGION].
So, BEFORE the Natzal [rapture of a very few obedient believers in Yeshua, which begins the tribulation], Yeshua is warning all believers to Get RID of Jezebel from their congregation! The final warning comes later, during the Tribulation, but for 2,000 years, WE have been warned by the Written Word of God, in Revelation, and in the things that ‘were’. Jezebel’s warning in Revelation is the only warning in the seven letters that comes with the threat of death, the same threat we saw in Revelation 18 for Bavel, and those of His People that don’t ‘leave’ her.
Jezebel’s perversion is the whole reason northern Israel was DESTROYED! After God sent many prophets to her to try to compel them to stop worshipping HIM in a ‘trinity’! Is it any wonder that after that, the Shema became the most important set of verses in Israel, even to Yeshua? [Matt 12:29]
If one reads the seven letters, one can see the ‘sins’ of Bavel alluded to in Revelation Chapter 18 detailed already to the GENTILE congregations in Revelation 2-3! Note that God did not send these letters to the Messianic Jewish congregations, which did still exist! Paul’s congregations in Corinth, Thessalonica, and Berea were mostly Jewish. They didn’t get a letter like this. There were whole Messianic Jewish communities in Judea, Pella and Syria [Aramaic Peshitta forebears] when the Revelation was written. They were called “Nazarenes” [Acts 24:5]. But, the majority-Gentile congregations were already mixing in pagan rites into their worship. And Yeshua is warning them that they are going to disappear. [He would take the Spirit, their “Menorah” away from them] They did disappear in history. None of the seven congregations of Revelation 2-3 exist any longer; they are in Muslim countries now. They did not heed Yeshua’s warnings.]
The Apostles had already warned the Gentile congregations themselves, long before Yeshua dictated the seven letters to John:
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying יהוה who has redeemed them, and thus bringing upon themselves swift destruction. Many will follow their pernicious ways, by reason of whom evil will be spoken of “The Way of Truth” [Derekh HaEmet]. And through covetousness they will exploit you with feigned words, [made up words] whose judgment from the very beginning has not ceased, and their damnation is always active.” ~2 Peter 2:1-3
Peter goes on and explains further: “But these men, as natural brute beasts, made for slaughter and destruction, speak evil of the things which they do not understand; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption, and shall receive the reward of iniquity, as they consider it a delightful thing to revel in the daytime. Spots and blemishes have they, and sport themselves with their own pleasures as they feast in idleness [‘holy’ feasts], and have eyes full of adultery and of sin that does not cease; beguiling, unstable souls are they, whose hearts are well versed in covetousness; accursed sons are they, who have forsaken the Straight Way and are gone astray, following the way of Bilam, the son of Be’or, who loved the wages of iniquity.”
Balaam [Bilam] had been a true prophet, but was a secret anti-Semite [Jew hater] who wanted to be paid for being a ‘prophet’. These run amok today. He cursed Israel from “Pe’or” for the ‘god’ Ba’al Peor, [lord of a hungry mouth, lord of greed]. Balaam sold Israel by causing Israel to commit idolatry, through seductive women of Baal. Peter completes this thought in verses 18 and 19. [Come out of her, O My people!]
Judah, [Jude], one of Yeshua’s natural brothers, another son of Mary and Joseph like James [Ya’akov], wrote about false brothers who are “ungodly men who turn the compassion/grace of God into a license to sin [Grace theology today, you can’t go wrong if you just say you believe], denying the only master, God, or our Master Yeshua the Messiah. [trinity does that, depending on one’s interpretation of ‘three gods in one’. Either Yeshua’s flesh and bone body has to vanish, or the Father has to vanish altogether. Yeshua’s human body is the EVIDENCE of DIVINE SONship.] Judah further says that these people despise authority, blaspheme the Majesty [The Father, oblitering His sovereignty over Yeshua]. They have gone the way of Cain [killed his brother: Catholicism killed believers for keeping the Sabbath and for not accepting the trinity; those were the first two legal edicts of the popes to enforce catholicism in the Roman realm]. They, too, went in the way of Balaam, like Peter said, choosing money and anti-Semitism over truth. They further go the way of Korakh, who opposed the authority of Moses and Aaron: denying God’s Torah for guidance and governance. That is the authority they despise. Most of the believing world despises Torah today. Judah then says they are spots in the holy feasts, ‘clouds without water’. Ba’al is a ‘storm god’ of ‘false rain’ from ‘false prophets’. [Come out of her, O My people!]
Ya’akov/James gives us similar warnings in Chapter 3: “Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity toward God?” He is speaking of spiritual harlotry already coming into the congregations of God 2,000 years ago! All the NT apostolic writers are! James is the most under-quoted and under-studied of the apostolic letters, probably, because he makes the clearest case for keeping the Torah. In chapter two he had said:
“For a man may say, “You have faith [Emunah: firmly established trust] and I have works;” show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God [most people today think there are three]; you do well. The demons also believe [in ONE God], and they tremble. Would you know, O weak man, that faith without works is dead? Was not our father Avraham justified by works, when he raised Isaac [Yitz’khak] his son upon the altar? You can see how his faith helped his works, and how by works his faith was made perfect. And the scripture was fulfilled which said, “Avraham trusted God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness;” and he was called the Friend of God. You see then how a man by works becomes righteous, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the [gentile] harlot justified by works when she welcomed the spies and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.”
And after detailing that belief alone is NOT proof of salvation, not ‘perfect faith’, he explains that the version people were already following then, “grace theology”, “grace alone”, is sensual and earthly teaching, and of the devil! This is an echo of Ishtar’s pagan mysteries Yeshua warned about in Revelation 2:24. [Come out of her, O My people!]
Since Paul wrote the most, he should have said the same things to the various congregations of the day. He is, after all, the “apostle to the Gentiles”. Did he just go into pagan countries and “mix” the worship of יהוה through Yeshua with the various forms of paganism he found in those regions? No! He went into Jewish synagogues and taught from there! And if there were none, or if the majority rejected the gospel, he rented a place and taught them SCRIPTURE, separating them from their pagan temples. [Acts 19:10] He did not mix their new faith with their old. It was a re-birth. They were ‘new creatures’. But because they had to fight sin, their first issues were returning to paganism. And this is true of almost every gentile congregation he founded!
To Corinth, a now predominantly gentile congregation, he wrote many warnings and rebukes for their returning to their pagan ways:
“Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers shall inherit the kingdom.” This is an allusion to the temple prostitution still going on in Corinth, and new believers thought they could still attend those things, that ‘grace’ made them ‘okay’ before God. Paul is warning them that it is not true!
“Flee from idolatry! You cannot drink the cup of Our Master and the cup of devils!” This is a direct reference to ‘cup rituals’ of Baal/Ashtoreth and pagan temple feasts where meals were offered to idols. ~ 1 Cor 10:14-22
“Do not eat meat offered to idols”. Pagans, even today, bless their food and offer it to their gods. We are instructed in the RENEWED COVENANT scriptures NOT to do that! Here, and in Acts 15. Chinese, Japanese, and middle-east restaurants often offer their meals to their deities [anything ‘hallal’ is offered to “allah”. Believers should not eat it.] This is also a direct reference to the Ba’al rituals of offering meat to demons. Corinth was full of pagan temples, and ‘grace theologians’ were okay with going to them. Paul warned them to stop it. ~1 Cor 8:1-13
Did they listen? Perhaps not. Paul has to write Corinth again and warn them: “Do not unite with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity? Or what mingling has light with darkness? Or what accord has Messiah with HaSatan? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? Or what harmony has the Temple of God with idols? For you are the Temple of the living God; as it is said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from among them, and be separate, says יהוה , and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says יהוה , The Mightiest above ALL.”
Paul just quoted the Torah, which is echoed in Revelation 18 at the very end. Yeshua says the same thing in the letters, warning all seven congregations to correct their sins.
Paul warned Galatia as well, saying they formerly served idols that were not God, and observed PAGAN HOLY DAYS, “months, times, and years”. This is linked to astrology, and the Canaanite fertility calendar, such as the ‘rain of Ba’al’ coming down on Canaan.
Ephesus had their issues as well, and Paul warned them about ritual sexual rites as worship. Ishtar/Asherah is harlot worship, and those goddesses are the basis of “Easter” and fertility rites, where eggs and rabbits are symbols of fertility besought from pagan deities.
Vain philosophy of the Greeks was also an issue, and people today do not realize how much Greek philosophy influenced modern theology.
“Beware, lest any man mislead you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the teaching of men, after the principles of the world, and not after Messiah. For in Him is embodied all the fullness of the divine. [the word ‘godhead’ does not exist, even in the Greek text. That is later retrofitting of trinity, not translated that way until 1611 AD.]
All of the language of trinity is derived from Aristotelian philosophy. It changes biblical terms of relationship between the Father and the Son to ontological terms. It is heresy.
Paul finally warns Timothy, a half-Jew whom he circumcised into the covenant of Abraham as an adult who already believed in Yeshua [Acts 16], that the ‘last days’ would be rife with error. Reading 1 Timothy 4:1-3 and 2nd Timothy 2 is like picking up a commentary on religion today in America. In his warning in 1 Tim, Paul says:
“Now The Spirit says expressly that in the Akharit HaYamim [Last Days] some shall depart from The Faith, following after misleading spirits and doctrines of demons. Some with false appearances will mislead and speak lies, and are seared in their own conscience, who prohibit marriage, [Catholic priests] and demand abstinence from foods which God has created for use and thanksgiving of those who trust and know The Truth [Torah] [Catholics forbade meat on Friday for a thousand years]. For all things created by God are good; nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is consecrated by The Word of God and by prayer.”
And in spite of Paul’s warnings, people today do exactly what this passage says they will do: LIE. The Word of God consecrates our food by telling us what IS food: meats that God said we could eat in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. Even the Greek word there for food, ‘bromah’, is “Kosher Meat”, ‘acceptable food’. But people pervert that truth.
So, Paul, over and over, warned gentile believers to leave behind their idolatry and severely warned them against syncretism [Mixture Religion]. [Come out of her, O My people!]
Revelation’s chapters two and three are Yeshua pleading with His local congregations on a personal level, one by one, to stop mixing His religion with those of the world. Revelation’s chapters seventeen and eighteen is God crying from Heaven to His One Congregation worldwide that He is no longer waiting patiently: Get out, or perish. [Come out of her, O My people!] No warning could be more relevant for believers today in the spiritual climate of America, and the world over. [Come out of her, O My people!]
So, who is “Bavel”? Since we know it is symbolic, perhaps asking “What is it” rather than “who is she” would help clarify things. Clearly, the ‘she’ is a harlot. A harlot is someone who mixes sacred sexual relationship with what is not sacred. It is using the body as a betrayal against the sanctity of a covenant. A true marriage is one where blood is shed by the wife upon consummation, and the covenant is between those two people. She is to be faithful to him, and he to her.
Faith in God has always been a covenantal relationship. Abraham offered sacrifices to God, shedding the blood of animals, understanding that he should die for breaking covenant with God. Israel, the nation, understood the same, and offered sacrifices to atone for their sins, so they could remain in covenant with God. Those sacrifices were the temporary measure, and those in Israel true to God understood that eventually a Messiah would have to come. They looked forward. Yeshua showed up, and offered Himself in the place of the atonement sacrifices, dying once for all mankind. He created a blood covenant for us to enter into. We look back.
We are to agree to ‘walk as He walked’, in order to be part of that covenant [faith and obedience together]. [1 John 2:6]. Going outside the boundaries of scripture and participating in pagan rites in spite of the many NT warnings for us not to do so is still disobedience. Worse, it’s an affront to God, and insulting to Yeshua, and the very meaning of ‘trampling the blood of His covenant’ underfoot. [Heb 10]
So, lets look deeper into “Bavel” in the Bible in order to understand exactly who/what she/it is.
Bavel is very ancient. The name means ‘confusion’, and it is the place where God had to confuse people with brand new languages because they were all together as one people trying to ‘be like God’. They were trying the make a “Name” for themselves. This is scant years after the flood, and mankind is already disobeying God.
Bavel is the source of the idea of both trinity gods and mother/son deities.
Anu, Enlil, and Enki were the three deities of Bavel. Anu is the “EL” of Canaan, Ouranos of Greece, and Jupiter of Rome. Enlil is the Ba’al of Canaan, Zeus, and Marduk of other ancient cults, and Enki is Dagon, Poseidon, and Thoth elsewhere. Under Nebuchadnezzar, The Bavel trinity was Marduk, Ishtar, and Nabu. And he was the beginning of the vision of a Babylon that would last to the End of Days. He is the ‘head’ of it. He prefigured the coming “Son of Destruction.”
In Isaiah 14:12-14, the prophet equates the king of Babylon under that trinity of Marduk to Heilel Ben Shakhar [Lucifer]. This is prefiguring end-time imagery where the Son of Perdition rules the whole world, like Nebuchadnezzar did.
In the book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar forced the kingdom to bow down to the very statue he made of the image in his dream. That image is the continuum of pagan theism throughout the ages, from Daniel’s day to our day. And one day in our future, a single man is going to rule the whole world, from the same region, and demand the very same thing: that the world bow down to an image of a god-man, the son of a trinity, ‘king of kings’, a ‘son of god[s]’, God of all gods. That is ‘Bavel’, and the system has been in place since antiquity. And western ‘faith’ is married to it, and has been since Constantine. We just await the final charge of the adversary to take over the world. If one doesn’t see that ‘effort’ in political spheres, one merely has his head in the political sand.
Isaiah warned Israel of the coming Assyrian attack and destruction of the Northern kingdom of Israel, but he also warned Judah of the coming of Babylon [Bavel in Hebrew]. His call to Judah and Israel, who lived still in the LAND of Israel, is to flee Babylon! Israel is mixing it’s faith in יהוה with the religions of all those around them, and the warning is coming to them hundreds of years before their ruin. We have been warned for 1,900 years about leaving Babylon. [Is 13, 21, 47, 48].
Jeremiah warned Judah of the same, and he is closer to the actuality of it, even witnessing the attacks of Nebuchadnezzar for himself. But, before it happened, he wrote, “Leave Babylon”, “Flee Babylon”, ‘get out of the midst of her, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of יהוה .’ [Jer 50-51]. This is the same warning Yeshua is giving to His Congregation in Revelation 18, and that he gave to all individual congregations in chapters 2 and 3.
The sins of the seven Gentile congregations are these:
- Seduction and fornication: Jezebel leads people into adultery against God through the worship of Ba’al and offering meats/food to idols.
- ‘Drunk with the blood of the holy people’, believers killing believers [Catholics and Protestants both have killed people for not agreeing with them, for 1700 years] [we find out that is the religion of Bavel in Rev 17-18 drunk with the blood of God’s people, whom he is calling out], and this congregation will go through the tribulation, and die by the hand of the Synagogue of Satan. [People interpret that to mean us, Messianic Jews, when in reality it is those who ‘say they are Jews and are not, but do lie.’ Messianic Jews ARE Jews. The congregations today teach that Gentiles replaced Israel, and only they are saved, not Jews. THAT is the synagogue of Satan: the congregation run by the False Messiah that unites all world religions, and soon].
- Pergumum ‘drunk with blood of the holy people’.
- Laodicea: She is ‘rich, has no need’, focused on prosperity. Selling her wares, rich with gold and clothing, just like in Rev 18.
- Thyatira: tolerates FALSE TEACHINGS, “prophetesses of Jezebel”, syncretism, mixing God’s faith with paganism and the occult, ‘false mysteries’, ‘deep things of Satan’. She will be put into a coffin if they don’t repent!
All of these receive a similar plea from Yeshua to CHANGE, both behavior AND ‘location’:
RETURN to your FIRST LOVE [Ephesus’ first love was the Torah, Paul taught it to them for two years, every single day, Acts 19].
“Wake up! Or I will come like a THIEF!”
“Open the door to ME, or I will SPEW YOU OUT!”
The warnings in the seven letters, which apply to all congregations today, are embryonic of the final warning in Revelation 17-18:
Fornication + idolatry → Rev 17:2, 4
False prophetess → Rev 17:5 (“Mother of harlots”)
Deep things of Satan → Rev 17:5 (“Mystery”)
Judgment: sickbed, death, tribulation → Rev 18:8 (“plagues… death, mourning, famine”)
Jezebel = local harlot archetype → Babylon = global Jezebel system
What are the ‘signs’ that a congregation is participating in the GLOBAL HARLOTRY now on a LOCAL level, all of which will be punished by God in the Tribulation?
The signs are obvious, and they are practiced by the Harlot AND her daughters! Rev 17:5 The Harlot, the original institution to turn officially away from God’s truth is in Rome, and her DAUGHTERS are all the denominations spawned by her, and that is anyone, any denomination/institution or individual congregation that practices these things, and most do.
Mixing Pagan ideas and practices:
Ideas:
Trinity over One God
Trinity literally means “three”
They ‘say’ “three in one God”, but they mean “THREE GODS in ONE BODY”
God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit is THREE GODS.
The truth of the matter is this:
God the Father, the Son of God, the Spirit of God. ONE GOD, who is perfectly MANIFESTED in a Man, Yeshua, and perfectly manifested in US By His SPIRIT because of trust in Yeshua.
Trinity is an ancient, pagan idea born at Bavel, and reborn at Bavel/Babylon. One day, it is going to take over the whole world again, and marry the false Messiah. Today, the Archbiship of Canterbury [effective ‘pope’ of England] says to call God “Allah” for their Muslim ‘brothers’; the Pope is making room at the Vatican for Islam to pray in the Apostolic Library; Islam has built a single interfaith Temple in Abu Dhabi. The courtship has started. They are betrothed. Soon they will marry. And all the world is following them. All religion.
Constantine introduced the ‘trinity’ into the faith with force, and changed the Sabbath with force. The death penalty for denying the ‘trinity’ was in place for Catholicism all the way to 1826 A.D. Protestants like Lutherans and Calvinists killed people for the same reasons. The last people executed by Protestant executions were in 1612, Edward Wightman and Bartholomew Legate are on record as the last to be killed by protestant authorities.. But, imprisonment for denial of the Trinity in both realms [protestant and catholic] still went on for quite some time. It will happen again. Enforced by the False Messiah.
The Torah is Abolished
It was Marcion who first declared that God was dead, when he said the God of the Old Testament was a mean God, and the NT God was ‘unknown’, but nice and kind.
“The God proclaimed by the Law and the Prophets is not the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The God of the Old Testament is known; the God of the New Testament is unknown. The one is a creator, a judge, cruel, and warlike; the other is good, merciful, and the stranger God (alienus deus). Christ came not to fulfill the Law, but to abolish it — for the Creator is not the Father, but the adversary.”
Though he was excommunicated by Tertullian, Tertullian forced the Marcion idea on the believing community, especially that the Torah had indeed been abolished.
They literally say it, twisting Yeshua’s own words. “I did not come to abolish the law, but to abolish it.” And then, they make God the CREATOR into SATAN, by calling His Torah ‘the law of sin and death’!
Practice:
The Sabbath is now Sunday
It is historical record, and any modestly studious believer knows it, that Constantine changed the Sabbath day to Sun-day, telling the whole Roman Empire to worship on the day of Sol Invictus, his deity. He remained a pagan until his deathbed. He quite literally fulfilled Daniel’s prophecy about the spirit of the False Messiah who would “change the appointed seasons and the Torah”.
The Sabbath is the Seventh Day. Most believers still kept the Sabbath in the Roman Empire up until 325 AD. Nearly a third of the elders of the congregations in the Roman Empire then were Jewish, and they were not invited to Constantine’s ‘council of Nicea’. Of the @3,000 elders in the realm, only about 250 yes men showed up, and they moved the Sabbath to Sol Invictus.
Christmas
Rome got rid of Sukkot and Khanukah in the believing community at that same council, exchanging them for Saturnalia, the Roman version of Mithraism, a deity born on December 25th. Rome had 12 days of Saturnalia, and they would parade Jews through the streets naked and hurl rotten vegetables at them. Mithra worship is the Egyptian equivalent to the Ishtar of Jezebel and Ba’al worship, when babies were offered under trees. Yule in Celtic culture was the same, and Teutonic deities were worshipped in the same way under evergreens. All of this was mixed together by arbitrarily declaring that Jesus was born in Bethlehem on December 25th. This ignores the scriptures, which actually show us he was born during Sukkot, and conceived at Khanukah in December. But, Rome wanted to keep its tradition, as did the Celts, as did the Teutons [Germans], ad nauseum. [Come out of her, O My people!] So much so, they offer the baby Jesus for the Eucharist at midnight, echoing the babies sacrificed by pagans on that day for thousands of years.
Easter
Easter is a perversion of and a moving of the dates of Passover. Constantine foisted it on the realm at the same time as adding trinity and getting rid of Sukkot and all other “Jewish” feasts, which are not “Jewish”, but DIVINE, GOD’s appointed times. Mithra has his springtime link to the December festival, as did Ba’al. This is the female side of their divinity, and it was all rooted in fertility worship: having sex before gods in the SPRING, asking for fertility: conceiving babies at the Spring Equinox [Roman calculation of Easter], who would then be born in winter. God fixed passover on the same day every year, the fourteenth day of the first month of spring, two weeks after spring ‘breaks’ in Israel. The congregations continued this Jewish practice long after the apostles:
“We observe the exact day; neither adding, nor taking away… Philip, one of the twelve apostles… and John, who lay on the Lord’s breast… all these observed the fourteenth day according to the Gospel, departing in no way from the rule.” (Eusebius, HE 5.24.2–6) 190 A.D.
The popes, however, forced the day to be on Sol Invictus EVERY YEAR at the equinox! Sun-worship of Mithra continued! The babies conceived at Easter were killed as a sacrifice at Saturnalia.
Halloween
Most protestants know that the Catholics worship dead people [sainthood]. But, they do not realize that “Halloween”, which the catholics ‘cleaned up’, is Samhain in Celtic culture. Before the ‘saints’ were cleaned up, meaning the Catholics literally took the lesser deities of the villages of the Celtic and Germanic tribes of Europe and changed them to ‘saints’, changed legends to miracles, and appeased their pagan constituents. What was “Samhain” and various other names became “All Hallows Eve”, or “Halloween”. So, protestants who observe it are being very, very catholic.
This is a day to appease the dead. In early Europe, on this day, people dressed as ghouls and goblins, ‘dead people’, spirits, and roamed the village, and they would literally harangue people in ugly ways to get something out of them. “Trick, or treat” they would threaten. “Give us something, or we will ….” This also equates to Dia de los Muertos in hispanic culture. All of this is participating in communication with the dead. It is a celebration of death. It is death culture. It is contrary to a life in God who alone JUDGES the living AND the dead.
Dead people cannot return here. If anyone is ‘seeing’ dead people, they are seeing demons. Today, believers do not understand the line that God drew in the sand concerning this. And, they don’t see that this is warned against in the Revelation: “so that you may not become partakers of her sins, and lest you be smitten by her plagues.”
All of these are symptomatic of the Harlot, and all the world is falling into the hands of the deceit. Yeshua is pleading with His people to get out of all of that. To return to her FIRST LOVE, the JEWISH MESSIAH and the walk that HE taught.
Yeshua defined who God is: He is ONE. He is יהוה . And He is THE FATHER.
Yeshua defined Himself. He is the Son of God, who did not live beside God at creation, but was INSIDE of God at the creation, and thus DIVINE and ETERNAL, but He LEFT GOD. God did NOT become a man. God’s WORD became a human being.
Yeshua UPHELD the Torah. In Matthew 5, He promised He did NOT come to abolish it! Yet EVERYONE today [Bavel] teaches that He did [just like the false Messiah would do, just like Catholicism did].
Yeshua kept ALL the Jewish feasts. The Sabbath, Passover and Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Shavuot, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, and even Purim [John 5:1-9 and Khanukah, [John 10].
Yeshua NEVER ONCE kept ‘christmas’, and was not born on the day of Mithra, a sun-trinity.
Yeshua did not keep “Easter” nor give children eggs as symbols of fertility.
Yeshua did not celebrate the dead. He RAISED the dead!
Believers in 2025 stand at the precipice of Tribulation, with Babylon’s syncretistic harlotry—rooted in ancient paganism and enforced through history—now courting a one-world religion under the false messiah. Yeshua’s repeated plea across Scripture, from the seven letters to Revelation 18, is urgent: repent, reject mixture (trinity, abolished Torah, pagan holidays), return to pure covenant faith in the Jewish Messiah who embodied Torah obedience. Failure means partaking in Babylon’s plagues and bloodguilt. Come out of her, my people—separate now, walk as Yeshua walked, or perish in the coming judgment. The warnings span 2,000 years; heed them today for eternal life.
