BTW, one day the waiter at a Chinese restaurant asked me what did eggs and bunny rabbits had to do with Easter. He seemed very serious, so I thought about it for a little while, and I answered "nothing at all". He was impressed by the honest answer and therefore willing to listen to anything else I wanted to tell him about Jesus!
So true. The eggs and bunnies are pagan. Some fertility god or something.
Eggs and bunny rabbits have plenty to do with Easter. They are both symbols of abundant life, and fertility. That’s why there are bunny rabbits at the foot of the Cross in Medieval and Renaissance paintings.
I have been observing the biblical calendar for going on two years now (just finishing up the first month of His year- only by His grace do I even know anything about it)
And it is so contrary to the solar based Gregorian.. sadly, Jews use the Gregorian and their own calculated calendar as opposed to the one in Scripture..
We spend so much time with our wall calendars and small phones and they tell us the day and time, we don’t use what He gave us - sun, moon and stars, to tell time..
And it is not observed by Jews ( except maybe two months in a year-and they mess it up with postponement rules and suspensions) that I can’t really believe why I had this revealed to me, a gentile believer with no business knowing all I know today...amazing grace indeed!
But it isn’t a calendar the world can observe... for instance, His Sabbaths were on the gregorian thursdays for four weeks in a row in this month...most folks are working on those days- and they change as the sun and moon and stars move through our sky...
But it certainly is a calendar, if chosen, that resonates with me when I hear the command, ‘come out of her, my people’....
Revelation reads like the present tense..
