	So we've got a lot to talk about today, and I'm going to start off quick here.
	This is how God feels about Christians attaching his name to pagan holidays and celebrations and mixing holy with profane.
	And yeah, a lot of stuff to talk about tonight.
	So yeah, and before we get into that stuff, I want to get to our guest here.
	Yes, here we go is John Poundis from NYC TV host of The Midnight Riot.
	What is up, John?
	What's up guys.
	It's good to be on here, Dan, man.
	What an awesome show.
	And as you can see, the background is fitted for the topic tonight, man.
	This is so crazy because this is the first show I've ever done for my house.
	My wife, um, this is kind of like a craft room and they do all kinds of different stuff.
	And like, as far as like building things and like making little crafts and stuff, and this changes all the time.
	This is sometimes there's a city she paints in over here.
	And we use these little stick-on neons.
	So it was like just perfect timing.
	So I was like, I got to do the show at my house for this one.
	So that's why this is in the background.
	So I'm excited, man.
	I'm excited to do it because I think just really just kind of knowing the truth on the matter is the most important thing.
	I know people might get offended by the truth sometimes, but you can, you can think what I'm saying is not true or you can't, but if you listen to it and just kind of gauge based off what you can learn from this, there's going to be ways you can look up And research the kind of stuff we're going to talk about and, uh, you know, see for yourself what you want to do with your family and what you want to do, uh, with your life in this whole thing.
	So I'm excited about it, man.
	I'm a grateful to come and join your audience.
	Yeah.
	Thank you so much for, especially, I know it's late for you cause you're an early guy.
	So yeah.
	Um, what is it?
	Midnight?
	Uh, it is, yeah, it's midnight over here.
	But yeah, it's been a long week too for me, man.
	This is my first day home, actually.
	I've been gone all week.
	I got, my flight got canceled.
	I went out to California to, out there with Joshua Watts.
	We did a meet and greet too with a bunch of people.
	It was really cool, man, to meet these people.
	They were awesome.
	Every single one of them that I met was just so kind and we just had a good time, man.
	It was really cool.
	And then from there I was supposed to fly home and I got to Dallas and this big storm came through and just canceled our flight.
	So I got the chance to stay with one of our graphic guys, Adam, at his house for a couple hours.
	I slept there and I came from there back to the airport and got, I had to go to Indianapolis right after that.
	I was hoping to get home.
	And so, so I, uh, they didn't have any flights home till like two days after that.
	So I went to, um, flew to Indianapolis cause that's where I had to be anyway.
	So, and they sent my luggage to the wrong airport.
	And I did this refuge training.
	It's like they do, you know, tourniquets, uh, high intensity situations, just, um, also, um, invader situations, you know, so it's really, it was really, really high intensity.
	Cool.
	And I'm home, so I'm glad to be home.
	So, um, man, it's been, but it's been a long week.
	Also my daughter broke her finger in the middle, so it's just like, yeah, but I'm, um, glad to be back and, and add it.
	So.
	Yeah, God bless her.
	Poor little girl.
	She's a cute little thing.
	Tell her what you guys got to say.
	She is, man.
	Yeah, this big piano bench just fell like right on top of her finger, man.
	So it was like, yeah, she was on the floor, like on there chilling, writing in the piano bench.
	My other daughter accidentally knocked it over and it came and just split her bone like up, up the finger.
	And she had like the bone hanging out the top of her finger.
	So she had to get stitches and all that stuff, man.
	That's crazy.
	So enough about me, man.
	Enough about that stuff.
	Special prayers to your daughter, man.
	And yeah, so tonight we're going to dive into this subject because next week, as you know, is the Passover, Easter, and all this other good Friday land, all this stuff happening.
	And so out of all the chaos, literally, it's like what's biblical, what's not biblical?
	And because of the confusion, you know, amongst the land, especially with the mainstream religions, the dispensationalist churches, the Catholic Church in general, I mean, like, and all these churches and religions and all that just confounding the Word of God.
	Nobody in the churches know what's left or right anymore, what's up and down, what's truth, what's not truth, what's pagan, what's, you know, I mean, like, and people literally in profane worship and pegging gods and goddesses and digging their worship in jesus you know i mean and what do these holidays have to do with jesus the other question too and we're going to get into this stuff man so we got your powerpoint here too if you want to jump into that yeah
	so you know all of these things come from a lack of really knowing the roots of where all this stuff started you know and it thankfully there's a pretty clear history of a lot of that stuff.
	But before we get into the history of how all of this happened to where we're at today, I just want to, you know, define the word Easter.
	So the Easter, and this is the first slide there, Dan, if you want to show it.
	It says it's Old English from the Proto-Germanic, and it is the goddess of fertility.
	It means it's, this is the name for it.
	So time celebrating the equinox.
	And so the name Easter itself is a pagan name.
	But, you know, this is the only English word we had for it until the 1500s.
	I have a slide here.
	Let me see if I can find it.
	It's way down the line, but it was it was translated in the 1500s into the Geneva Bible.
	And I believe it was the Geneva Bible.
	I'd have to look it up.
	But it was 1500s and Passover.
	Was the first time the word Passover was actually used.
	So before, before 1500, everybody used the word Easter for actually what we call Passover.
	So there's a lot of confusion there too.
	So that kind of muddies up the waters a little bit more to figure out like, well, Easter, the church fathers celebrate Easter and they were, you know, directly under John and Paul and Peter, you know, this is the argument, but yes, they did.
	Because when, when that text was translated, the only word for Pasach It was Easter in the English language and so that that really confuses a lot of people.
	Yeah.
	That makes sense too because like, um, you know, again, like I said, people they're sitting there and like you ask yourself, you're sitting in church and then you're like, all right.
	Um, you know, you start doing the timelines as a crucifixion compared to Bible says, and then, uh, Easter Bunny, where's that come from?
	And which we know it's like, uh, for thousands of years, they literally, it's nothing new.
	Uh, they, to celebrate the, uh, Ishtar or you know Astarte whatever the mother god so-called mother goddess whatever and fertility that's why they use a rabbit because a rabbit is said to be the most fertile creature the most excuse the language the most horneous creature out there having sex all the time you know I mean and that's why it's used in playboy and also associated with Easter for spring for fertility, reproduction, and that's why they use the eggs.
	They've been coloring eggs for thousands of years.
	That's nothing new.
	And for churches to do this, you've got to say, why are we doing these story-concept churches?
	Why are we doing all this stuff?
	And you've got to make these, because the thing is, literally, it's a sexual holiday.
	And, you know, the pagan moves on the side of it.
	And so you've got to start asking these questions.
	Why are we doing this stuff?
	What does this have to do with the Bible?
	And most certainly, what does this have to do with Jesus Christ?
	You know what I mean?
	The Yeshua Messiah.
	So these are the questions, you know, that is coming to all of our minds at one time.
	And, of course, the dispensationalist pastor or the priest will give you some cockamamie story, something that's, you know, off the beaten path that has nothing to do with it, just to confuse you, to keep you into this ritual.
	That's exactly what it is.
	And so there's other things too involved with this.
	And what is this associated with this and that?
	So we're going to hopefully get through it all and all that stuff.
	So, yeah.
	So the history of the Easter, so we'll call it just for the sake of the first word used for the Easter, The English language this is where a lot of people get their arguments from the church fathers because they say that the church fathers went ahead and Made Easter.
	Okay.
	They said it was good, you know, and the question to me is would they say what we're doing today is good So Easter, like I said, the word was the only word for the English language So when it when these books were translated into English, it would say Easter on there and there's a slide there that has the First, Antinocene fathers closest to the apostles.
	Can you put that up for me, Dan?
	Oh, yep.
	That's right after the slide number three, right?
	Yep.
	So this is, we're looking around second century here.
	This is when John had gone over, I believe, to Asia and Peter and Paul were over in the Rome.
	And these church fathers right here were actually, you know, knew these people.
	Iranius actually studied under Polycarp.
	He didn't know John, but Papias, Ignatius and Polycarp, they all knew John and they were like the next in line for authority of the church that they had at that time.
	And Clement of Rome was next in line for the authority of the church of Peter and Paul.
	And so you can, but anyways, there's documented these writings and it comes, you know, in a, you can find those in a 10 volume set and others.
	Tons of copies, you know, you can go Antinocene means pre-Nicene Fathers, and then you have the Nicene Fathers that are after that, right?
	And this is, it all kind of goes towards either Orthodoxy or the Roman Catholic Church.
	This is where the split kind of happened with all of this stuff.
	And so, around this time, there was a controversy with the guys over in Rome and the guys over in Asia.
	Because and this is they were talking they were some of them were celebrating on Sunday, which they called the Lord's Day instead of doing it on the 14th, which is stated in the scripture and they were called there were this this controversy is called the quarter decam and controversy and there's a slide here and it says the quarter decam and controversy arose because Christians in the churches of Jerusalem and Asia Minor observed Passover on the 14th of the first month Nissan.
	No matter the day of the week on which it occurred, while the churches in and around Rome changed to the practice of celebrating Easter always on the Sunday following first full moon following the vernal equinox, calling it the day of the resurrection of our Savior.
	The difference was turned into an ecclesiastical controversy when the practice was condemned by synods and bishops.
	Of the disputes about the date when the Lord's Supper of the Eucharist should be celebrated, disputes known as Paschal Easter controversies The Kordodeciman is the first recorded.
	So this is going on.
	So to kind of set the stage for what we're talking about here, they're having this controversy.
	And I included a reference here on this next slide here for anybody that wants to kind of just go back and just read it.
	I mean, it's a fun read.
	You know, if you like reading books, I say read it for sure.
	I mean, these guys have a lot of insight, just like a lot of commentators on the Bible have insight.
	These guys also have, Some things that, you know, they're figuring out as they go type things.
	So anyways, um, it says those who observed the practice were called quarter decamini and that's Latin for 14th.
	There's because of holding their celebration on the 14th day of Nissan.
	Um, this practice had been followed by polycarp, who was the disciple of John, the apostle and the bishop of Samarra and one of the seven churches of Asia.
	And by Benito Sardis, and this is from Eusebius 1890 chapter, book five, chapter 24.
	And in this, Irenaeus says that Polycarp visited Rome when Anicetus was suspicious.
	And among the topics discussed was the divergence of custom with Rome celebrating the Easter always on Sunday.
	And so they have this controversy.
	In the end, basically they just kind of said, okay, you know, we're going to, um, Observe this.
	You're going to observe that.
	We're going to call it and we're going to just shake hands and go the other way.
	You know, this controversy goes on.
	It went on for like, you know, 600 years, I guess, for 500 years.
	And Rome eventually excommunicated everybody that wanted to do it on the 14th.
	And so they're the ones that kind of switched it.
	It was didn't get switched.
	I believe I got a slide that says that here in a minute, but.
	Yeah, so back back to the translation, I do have a Have this slide here.
	It was William Tyndale that coined the English word Passover.
	And that was, you know, right before the King James Bible was translated back then.
	So up to that point, they had that.
	And so now that gets us to the point.
	So they said that they would celebrate, they could celebrate that day.
	They don't celebrate that day and they're going to still going to be brothers on it.
	They're going to do whatever.
	But this doesn't prove that they were saying it's okay to do No, not really.
	It's good to know this history and all that too.
	The reason why I'm explaining this to you guys is so you know all sides of the history and ultimately what the Bible says.
	or that you had any questions about?
	No, not really.
	I mean, like, yeah, you know, it's good to know this history and all that, too.
	So the reason why I explain this to you guys out there, so you know all sides of the history and then ultimately what the Bible says, you know what I mean?
	And so, yeah, and eventually, I think, you know, as the churches went on, they, you know, started, you know, going to a corrupt ways and their own ways instead of the Scripture.
	I mean, even look at the Jews, when Moses was on the earth here, you know, leading them out of captivity, leading them through the desert, and miracle after miracle, God provided for them, protect them from the sun, you know, the clouds, and
	Pillar of fire at night and all the things that God then they still chose to go to different direction You mean and so it's not just um, you mean all through history was I'm trying to point out that you know people That started off great with you know under the scripture, you know, eventually broke out into their own ways religious dogma and everything else So that's kind of where we're getting at here And yeah, we this is why it's good to study and know the early church history and everything else and as John's pointing out
	Yeah, man, because, you know, the, the church, if you, if you go watch the history of it and you, and you go through, and I haven't read all of the church fathers.
	I've read a lot of, you know, the Anthony scene I've read, you know, I've, I've gone through and, and referenced a lot of them.
	I'm probably all of them at some point and, you know, kind of just over time, got getting a firm kind of grasp on how everything went down.
	And you're, you're right about that.
	It does.
	It does seem after, you know, the next kind of generation to start, you know, things start getting a little twisted.
	Yeah.
	And it's just, that's just the way it works.
	That's the way, if you know, if you know about any congregation you've ever been involved in, if you've ever been involved in one, that's usually what happens, right?
	It goes and it goes great, maybe, and then it gets a little twisted.
	Yeah, because once in a while Satan will throw somebody in there to corrupt it, you know?
	Yeah, for sure, man.
	I mean, the person that started it with the mantle that, you know, he may not live and the next person that takes over may not be the one that should be taken over, you know?
	That happened with the prophets and their sons.
	Sometimes they would... I think... I can't remember the name of the prophet, but he had two of his sons that had to die, you know?
	They died because of what they were doing.
	They were doing, like, evil stuff, like taking people's money and doing all kinds of crazy stuff, so...
	Um, you know, that corruption does happen and people, people need to really, you know, there's a lot of orthodox people out there, but they, that is something that, you know, tradition that passes on through time is what corrupts and is what the leaven is right there.
	So anyway, so if you, if you want to, can you still hear me Dan?
	Yup.
	Okay.
	So if you want to go on, so we'll talk a little bit about what has been implemented into The Easter that we celebrate because, you know, this, what we call we, the reason we choose to divide the word that I choose to divide the word Passover and Easter, uh, not just cause it was coined back then, but also because it kind of gives a division on what it's all about, right?
	If you, if you're celebrating Passover, you're celebrating the biblical day.
	Usually this is the way it works.
	You're celebrating the biblical day.
	And if you're celebrating Easter, you're celebrating.
	The day that we're getting ready to talk about here is because it's all been mixed in at some point and we'll talk about that and show you guys it and also show you a little bit about the history of it.
	So this one right here this this is the mother goddess and she had many names throughout in pagan religions and history.
	What slide is that?
	This is the one where you see the statue hanging up with the you see that it's like a statue of a mother goddess like kind of standing there with her arms kind of This slide is slide number... Hold on, Dan.
	Let me see here.
	This is number 14.
	Oh, okay.
	Sorry, dude.
	I'm skipping around like a... Yeah.
	But, uh... Yeah, dude.
	Okay, here we go.
	So, it... The names that she's been known on is Ishtar, Astarte, Asheroth.
	You know, all of the different names that we've heard of the... For the female goddess and why they chose to name basak easter i don't know i don't even know really the history of who chose that to name it after this goddess but um they did you know and then unfortunately the english language is is riddled with uh pagan um deities right just the days of our week the the months of the year
	um just just a lot of words it's all just kind of mingled into there so this is the reality of the english language but um this is what this name falls under and this is the statue of the goddess figure And there's also names like Artemis, Diana, Sybil, uh, Mary in the Catholic churches.
	You've seen the images of the black Madonna, and we'll get into that.
	So onto the next slide here.
	So this is, uh, let me just read this here.
	This is the Encyclopedia Britannica clearly explains the pagan traditions associated with the egg.
	The egg as a symbol of fertility and the renewed life goes back to ancient Egyptians and Persians, who had also the custom of discoloring and eating eggs during their spring festivals.
	In ancient Egypt, an egg symbolizes the sun, while for the Babylonians, the egg represents the hatching of Venus Ishtar, who fell from heaven to the Euphrates.
	So you have this egg falling from Euphrates.
	This is an interesting one to me about the Babylonians, and this is This symbol that you can see in this statue, this is the Orphic god Phanes, surrounded by the cosmic egg by the Zodiac, and so you have all the Zodiac symbols surrounding him, and if you look at it closely, it's really interesting.
	What all you can see.
	Yeah, it's an egg-shaped Zodiac symbol.
	Yeah, and look at the feet or hooves as well, that's pretty interesting.
	Oh yeah, split foot.
	Yeah.
	And so, with the Greeks, this is the next slide here, the Orphic egg is described by Aristophanes and was part of the Dionysiac and other mysteries.
	So, when you talk about the Dionysus and all of that and these mysteries, this is kind of where Gnosticism takes its place.
	This is where all of these different religions try to start molding into what we know as What the Bible is, they try to mold it in, but they try to blend it in with Mithraic stuff.
	And, um, this is how they do it.
	And of course, this is the, some of these secrets have been passed down through the mystery religions, like the Masons and all of that.
	But the average people really don't know this stuff.
	You know, this is not, um, this is not something that the average person is going to study, uh, or, or learn in school.
	It's just not going to happen unless they're interested in the subject.
	They will have no.
	Knowledge of this whatsoever, you know, so they, they're really doing it knowledgeally.
	Their, their ignorance is costing them.
	And as we'll see here in a little bit, both of them have a serpent, uh, serpent wrapped around her than the egg.
	Yeah, man, it's, it, it, it all kind of boils down to a interesting story.
	And this next one here is the, in the Egyptian ritual, Seb, the God of time and of earth.
	is spoken to have laid an egg or the universe and the egg conceived at the honor of the great one of the dual force.
	And so you see this and you can see it looks like almost like the, the firmament, this lady surrounding here.
	And um, so it goes back to that.
	And then you have the Egyptian raw and this is the next one here.
	Um, the egg of the universe and it has a serpent surrounding it as well.
	Um, The next one, the first manifestation of the cosmos.
	The form of the egg was most wisely diffused, believing of antiquity.
	And look at this, this is like a little modern expression of the design.
	So somebody drew these, but this is like what they've got, you know, kind of pieced together.
	It's pretty interesting.
	Almost looks like the man in the coffin ritual in Freemasonry.
	Yeah.
	Kind of reminds me of it a little bit.
	Yeah, the Norseman had those.
	For the Vernal Equinox, you had the Egg of Babylon, which was Hatch Ishtar.
	And Ishtar is interesting because, you know, in some of the mythology, she comes back as an egg-laying rabbit, or an egg-laying rabbit in one of her things.
	And when I saw, you know, this idea in Babylon where it's talked about the egg actually coming down to the earth, And in the Euphrates, I just like, you know, I instantly when I hear terms that mean something, right, like they're, you know, they say a specific thing for a specific way or for a specific reason, I look in the scripture to see if I can confirm something that would tie this story to be maybe true.
	And in Revelation 16, 12, it says, And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates, and the water therefore was dried up.
	At the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
	And in Revelation 9, 13 through 15, it says in the six angels sounded and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before God saying to the sixth angel, which had the seventh or had the trumpet loose the four angel, which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
	And the four angels were loose, which were prepared for an hour and a day and a month and a year for to slay a third part of men.
	And, uh, this next slide I have here is the, it says the mythical river Euphrates is drying up.
	And this was in September 30, 2021.
	And there's like, they're having some kind of warfare with this.
	They're, uh, they're trying to dry up Turkey and, and all of that.
	So it's, it's interesting that this kind of stuff has happened happening.
	Um, and possibly this is connected, you know, is there a reason that they're talking about this egg being hatched there in the Euphrates and why, um, Is the scripture talking about angels that are bound in the Euphrates?
	And, um, you know, I don't, what do you think about all that, Dan?
	Yeah, it makes sense.
	And I remember reporting on my new show about the river Euphrates drying up and which also leads to the sixth trumpet being blown.
	As we know is like, you know, people got to take aliens UFOs, but it gotta be unclean spirits.
	Three, uh, three spirits look like frogs.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I think that's, I think that's my, that might, That might literally be where we might be close to being at, man.
	Did you saw some of the articles about the UFOs?
	I think it was you that sent it to me.
	Maybe the, the articles about they're letting out articles, the military about, about women who have been impregnated by these things and, uh, all of this stuff going on.
	So, I mean, who knows what we're getting ready to deal with right now?
	This is, you know, this is, this could be.
	We could be on the precipice of this.
	Who knows, man?
	I don't know.
	I don't know what to think about that.
	Did you read the article?
	Do you have any other insight into that?
	I haven't got a chance to research it that much.
	I know tomorrow night we're going to be like discussing and talking about it.
	I'm going to go through.
	Yeah, I mean, I did a lot of research on that and it sounds like, you know, it's funny because one of the X-Files, the show X-Files, one of the last episodes I think was, I don't know if it was the last season or whatever, but they showed a birthing room where women would get pregnant by aliens, you know what I mean?
	And they literally had a birthing room and it's kind of crazy, man.
	And a lot of truth I think they showed in X-Files, but they didn't want to, you know what I mean?
	Of course they say it's just a sci-fi show, whatever the case, but yeah.
	It makes a lot of sense too, you know what I mean?
	Because God said, Jesus said, as the days of Noah so shall be in a lot of days before he returns.
	And you know, genetic manipulation, we can't mention what, you know, because of the jab thing, you know what I mean?
	Because of YouTube, yeah.
	Yeah all that's all connected and all you know all of a sudden aliens are popping up out of nowhere I mean like giant spacecrafts right over Moscow and everything else being reported by the news over there but over here you don't even hear a peep of that you know and uh and now the government's coming out to say oh yeah well yeah aliens are real all these years now they're real you know and uh Yeah, we got information that was supposed to be released last June.
	It was only a smidge of it released.
	We're still waiting for the other stuff and so they're slowly indoctrinating people with the movies, TVs, just get people used to the idea and all the stuff is connected though, you know what I mean?
	And so they've already got people going astray with these, you know, pagan traditions and ideas and the churches and the holidays and everything else and it's just like so bizarre that You know, and I mean, like I was saying in my last show here, I blame the leaders of the church that should know the scripture.
	And the people, I mean, I kind of blame them because they should be reading the scripture on their own.
	But however, they're misled by the churches.
	And when you even begin to challenge the churches, what they do is they string together a bunch of Bible verses, like a hundred of them.
	Well, this is a proof of our belief.
	Then you actually read each one in this context.
	There's nothing to do with what they're talking about.
	And ain't no 99% of the people that see that.
	There's a scripture, I'm not going to challenge it.
	And they're not going to believe it.
	I mean, they're not going to believe anything the pastor says.
	So this is very critical that people need to do, even if it takes extensive time, you need to challenge every spirit and challenge everything they throw at you because the devil, he's very cunning.
	I mean, he'll make you believe that Easter is the most biblical holiday there is.
	Christmas is the most biblical holiday, you know what I mean?
	He'll make you believe that and feel that, you know what I mean?
	And when these holidays come, you get this essence in the air and you can feel it, you know what I mean?
	It's a spirit in the air, but it feels peaceful to people, but it is a very lying, deceiving spirit that, you know what I mean, it's all to yoke us away from Christ.
	That's what it's to do, you know, and these traditions and exactly what they are, you know, Jesus warned us about that, you know, not to follow the traditions of men, but follow Him, you know what I mean, Him directly.
	That's why I tell people all the time, If you want to get to know the Word of God, you want to get to know God, do it through Him.
	You know, confess your sins, ask for discernment, read the scriptures for yourself, and, you know, the scripture will interpret itself, you know what I mean?
	The scripture interprets scripture, as John Hall says, you know what I mean?
	And so, because religions today, man, with the religious lens, the dogma and everything else, you don't even know what's left or right or backwards or anything, you know?
	And that's why there's so much confusion.
	John just showed the confusion of the word Easter.
	Now today, Easter and Passover is now separate because those of us who celebrate the Passover, I mean, we understand the biblical that Jesus was the final lamb sacrificed and everything else.
	But the Easter version is still continuing.
	How many churches coming next Sunday?
	How many churches are going to go out there and have Easter egg hunts at the church for the weekend?
	Have all these little things and, you know, all these rituals, these pagan things in their own churches.
	You know what I mean?
	So that's the problem here.
	You know what I mean?
	That's what we're trying to disseminate here.
	Yeah, I mean, for sure, because a lot of those things come from Germany.
	Uh, you know, they didn't, they didn't actually become a part of America till the 18th century.
	And you know, this is when it's been adopted.
	And you know, most people don't know that.
	And most people don't really don't care where the, all of that stuff came from to begin with.
	But you know, when you look in scripture, like you said, you know, there's scriptures that say that God does care about adding things to his holy days.
	Cause these, these are what these days are.
	They're holy days.
	They're not.
	They're not like just a fun tradition pastime.
	They are actually written about in the word of God in the scripture.
	And I'm just going to read a few.
	Dan, I don't know what slide this is.
	Let me see.
	This is slide... Shoot.
	Okay, slide 27.
	27.
	Shoot.
	Yep.
	Okay, slide 27.
	27.
	Yep.
	Colossians 2.8.
	Yeah, Colossians 2.8 says, Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditions of men and after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ.
	And even back going back into ancient times in like Deuteronomy, when they would go, God would give them nations like he would, you know, lead them.
	He led them out of Egypt, right?
	This is what Passover is all about.
	He led them out of Egypt and they went into lands and they took over certain lands.
	And when they get there, God told them not to Take of any of these things.
	It says, When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land, take heed to thyself, that thou be not snared by following them.
	After that, they may be destroyed from before thee, and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods?
	Even so I will do likewise.
	Now, so a lot of these traditions, such as honoring the Easter rabbit and honoring the The eggs and honoring all of these different things have a Pagan root, right?
	This is so this is incorporating the gods of these nations that were cut off into the holy day of God and this is why we're the danger lies in all of that because God cut off whole nation groups because of it II he just completely said you know what boom and Uh, you know, this is you guys, I've brought you out of here.
	I've done all this and this is how you're repaying me.
	And they thought they were doing the right thing.
	Just like in the golden calf incident, they, they, they were offering it.
	It says they're offering it like as a sacrifice to the Lord.
	They were doing it like a celebration to the Lord and the word, the Lord translated into, in, you know, the Hebrew translated in English is the, uh, Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh, the Tetragrammaton that, that is, The name of the king of heaven, the one, the almighty one, right?
	And so, um, this is, this is who deemed these days.
	Um, but he didn't deem that day and that you saw what happened in the result of that situation.
	And I think that, you know, in these times that we're in right now, it's really important that we kind of understand where we're coming from, because I believe that these feasts, um, that.
	are being incorporated are actually paving the way and also paving the minds for the people toward accepting whoever the Antichrist is going to be.
	And that's what I think is very important that people understand is that, you know, when you start looking at the scripture and you say, oh, this is what they did, or you look back and you say, this is how they did the Passover, right?
	This is what they did.
	And this is why right you look through the scripture.
	This is what they did.
	This is why this is why they've been doing it for throughout the you know God put them on a pattern with it boom boom boom every year and then all of a sudden boom it makes sense the prophecies fulfilled and everything comes to comes to pass for that as as a fulfillment of the the Messiah coming to deliver right and Understanding that rather than understanding the idea that you know, there's a Other mysteries involved in the in Easter.
	And so that's that's kind of where I come from on that.
	I didn't want to mix it in because you know, as and this is part of the reason that I think it's important to is because, you know, even as a as a young young person, I couldn't quite understand why.
	Easter had adopted all of these pagan practices because, you know, I was an inquiring mind as a child, you know, that's what we didn't have.
	It wasn't as easy to search up Google at the time, but you could do it, right?
	And so once that opened up, a whole new world opened up for me.
	So I started looking at different things, different books that I could find and started researching and I found out all of these things about Easter.
	And then I did the same thing about Christmas and I looked through and so in my mind, I'm considering the idea that You know, all religions are actually the same, and they're kind of synchristic in ways, and that's why they do that.
	So, you know, then it kind of just became like, you know, the Bible, all these different things became like something that I just set aside in life, you know?
	That's one of the dangers as well for people when they adopt these things.
	But there's a lot of that, and I think curses come on your life when you disobey and when you enter into things that you're not supposed to enter in.
	Um, and, um, you know, the pagans and all of the, the people that practice the arts and, um, do all of the spells and, and really kind of control the world.
	They operate on these solstices and on these, um, you know, equinox days because, uh, they believe this and, you know, I believe that it's probably true as well, but that the, the spirit realm operates Very heavy on that day for some reason.
	This is why, you know, you see all of the tombs aligned at certain equinoxes.
	You see all of these different things going on and these pharaohs being built in this temple, you know, at a certain point to where when the sun comes through, the light shines on the tomb.
	You know, there's a reason for that, I believe.
	They did that for a reason.
	That is another danger.
	What does this mean?
	What does this mean spiritually for your household, for your family's life?
	These are questions you have to ask yourself.
	I'm not telling you to do anything.
	You could do whatever you want.
	You are your own human being.
	But you've got to think about these things for yourself and for your own relationship with the Most High God.
	Because look, you know, a lot of people are just living for the moment now.
	They're living for whatever they can get out of this life they can get right now.
	And then there's another way though.
	There's a way to Know that when you die, that you are going to continue on and there's, you know, there's, there's all of these things in life.
	There's, there's sin.
	There's a reality.
	There's, there is right and wrong, no matter what the media tells you.
	Uh, this is all, this is all there and it's for you to decide.
	I don't think there's any coincidence that, you know, you might be listening to this show right now.
	I don't believe that.
	If you're actually listening to this show, then there's a reason you heard it.
	God put you here because you could be doing anything else right now.
	Depending on where you live, there's a thousand things to do.
	I don't know.
	know what do you think dan yeah no you know you talk about uh pagan you know pagan traditions and all that and the thing is here's the thing and um you know i know people do you know we're not you know we're not to judge you because we're not you know god you know i mean the father but do know this it's like if you know these things are pagan and your church is doing it uh the bible clearly says in germany 10 and he which the lord spoken unto you o house of israel and
	Today, Israel, in that sense, means God's Israel, you know, His followers, you know what I mean?
	And thus said the Lord, "...learn not the way of the heathen, which is paganism, and not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the heathen are dismayed at them." So, and this goes on to, it perfectly describes the Christmas tree, uh, we even know we're talking about Easter, but yeah, perfectly describes the Christmas tree and all these little other pagan traditions.
	And if you go on to Deuteronomy 18, uh, this is, uh, you know, at the time when God ruled, you know, He was the ruler of Israel, literally, you know what I mean?
	He told people, you could go from other lands, you could come into, and then come on in, you're welcome in, and just like today, right?
	Jesus offers you into the spiritual Israel, God's Israel, right?
	Through him.
	He says through salvation, through grace and everything else, and through following the law and all that stuff, you're welcome there because, and this is all, you know, this is all related here.
	But he says, you could come in here, no problem, but they shall be not found among you anyone that makes a son and daughter pass through the fire or uses divinization or observer times or enchanter, witch or a charmer, can sell with a familiar spirit or a wizard or a necromancer.
	And for all that do these things are an abomination to the Lord.
	Because of these abominations, thy Lord God will drive them out before them.
	So what is this speaking in today's terminology?
	He's gonna, if you are, you claim to be of Jesus, right?
	You follow Jesus and all that, and if you're doing these abominations, now mind you, we're in God's spiritual Israel, right?
	If you're bringing these pagan abominations into God's spiritual land, right?
	He said, and Jesus says so, he's gonna drive you, he's gonna, in today's case, back then, you know, their abominations are gonna drive you out.
	Jesus says today, as we covered in the last show, he's gonna shut the door and be gone, I never knew you.
	And people say, well, grace is not a free pass to sin.
	Grace is not a pass to transgress the law.
	These are what God's talking about.
	And, you know, people need to understand that the Old Testament and the New Testament correlate together.
	This is a perfect example of both of that right there.
	Back then, the physical land of Israel, you brought these abominations to the Lord, they're going to drive you out.
	God couldn't stand these abominations being in his Israel.
	Now, today we talk about a spiritual Israel, like David Carrico points out, and a spiritual Israel, if you claim to be of Jesus, right, you are grafted into that Israel.
	Therefore you have to go by God's rules that he set for us, the laws, you know what I mean, and everything else, and the grace and all that stuff all to go together.
	But what doesn't mean, oh, because I'm full of grace, I could still celebrate.
	Oh, and the other one too, John, I'm sure you heard this a million times.
	Oh, God knows my heart and I'm taking the state for Jesus.
	He knows my heart, so it's okay.
	Yeah.
	You know, the thing that I think the thing that like strikes me the most is I think that in order for anybody to even care about this subject, Or anything like it, you know, to think like, I want to obey this as if they really, truly want to honor God.
	If they don't want to honor God, then this seems, might seem unreasonable for them.
	Right?
	But the real children of God follow his voice, right?
	And the scripture says, Jesus says, my sheep know my voice.
	And I think the voice goes out to people and some people see it and they say, Oh man, I've been, I didn't know this.
	And now this has changed my thoughts on this.
	And maybe, maybe I should look into this, right?
	There's those people.
	And then there's the people that will, uh, don't really care about on a grind.
	They just like to do the Easter stuff.
	They don't care.
	They're not going to, they're going to argue with whatever you say.
	And then there's the people that, um, just miss the whole point.
	You know, I don't care what day I do the Passover on 100% because look, you know, I, I celebrate with my family on the, on the 14th, like of Nissan, like the Bible says to do.
	And, um, but you know, oftentimes when we meet as a group, we'll meet on a Sunday and it's not because we're trying to honor Easter, but it's because this is the day we all get together.
	You know, I, I like to personally, I like to do, you know, my, the Passover with my family kind of just, um, Together, you know, and sanctify the setting and just enjoy that time.
	But, you know, this is the thing.
	It's not about that.
	This is about the pagan traditions that have been linked together with it.
	And if you look at the church, you're going to find, and when I say the church, I'm not talking about the actual church, because the church is a body of believers that can't always be defined by a building, can't always be defined by a group
	of people because they're scattered all around the world and there's nothing like being able to see this, but the problem is the churches that are mainstream and the ones that are like denominations that have kind of taken in all of these things including Christmas and Not, not worrying about the Sabbath.
	They're not caring really about God's laws at all.
	Not, not even wanting to discuss them.
	In fact, oftentimes, you know, you've heard them, uh, describe God's laws as the doctrine of demons, right?
	Um, there's, there's so much deception in all of this and it's designed that way on purpose.
	Um, the scriptures in revelation talk about the, the, um, they went out and went the way of Balaam, right?
	And, um, And this is what we have going on that, you know, Paul warned, he said, you know, he actually, there's a scripture.
	Let me see if I can find it real quick here.
	In Acts 20, in verse 29, it says, For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
	Also of your own selves shall men arise and speak perverse things to draw away disciples after them.
	Therefore, watch and remember that by the space of three years, I've ceased not to warn everyone night and day with tears.
	So this, Paul warned people every day, every day, every day and night, it says, with tears.
	And he's, he's warning them.
	He's like, look, as soon as I'm gone, these people are going to be here.
	And look, this is thousands of years, over a thousand years removed.
	I'm about 2000 years removed.
	And, um, So where are we at right now?
	And of course, some people are waking up.
	Some people will never hear your voice until it's the time for God to open their eyes.
	So we really need to pray that people just kind of open their eyes to the love of God and to getting to know Him.
	And sometimes, unfortunately, that takes hitting a low point in life.
	You know, it really does.
	You can tell the people that are so grateful to God that they'd do anything for Him versus the ones that just kind of grew up and they just, you know, you're like, yeah, yeah, I go to church, you know, this and that.
	Um, because they've been forgiven of so much.
	They've been forgiven of, of, you know, drug addictions or, um, you know, prostitution or, or being a gang member or murder or whatever, you know, like they've, they've come to a place in life where they've literally been broken.
	And a lot of people can relate to some of the things I said, but there's other ways that people can come down to a place.
	They're broken as well.
	You know, a loss of a, a loved one.
	Um, of drug addiction or anything like that, those things can lead people to a place of darkness and to where the only thing they can actually see in that darkness is a light off in the distance, right?
	A light that's slowly approaching and they can deny it or they can embrace it, right?
	And that's kind of the... you can see that in people, you know?
	You can't really define it.
	You can't say, oh, it's the Orthodox, oh, it's the Baptist, so it's the Yeah, and that's what people need to understand, too, you know what I mean?
	And to save all the confusion, too, like we say all the time, just go to the source.
	Go to the Word of God, you know what I mean?
	And, uh, anyway, yeah.
	Yeah.
	And that's what people need to understand too.
	You know what I mean?
	And, um, and, and to save all the confusion too, like we say all the time, just go to the sauce, go to the word of God.
	You know what I mean?
	And, uh, find out where you read Matthew.
	I think it's, uh, yeah.
	Chapter 26 and 27, 28, whatever.
	And it gets into the crucifixion.
	Gives exact details, you know what I mean?
	The days, the exact details of the day and everything else from the crucifixion to the resurrection in pure detail.
	And it's clear as day.
	Just take your time and read it.
	And this is what you actually should read this time of year.
	And it's like very, and you just take your time, read your verse.
	Understand what it's talking about in detail, because there's a lot of key words in there that churches quickly skip over, and this way they can rub that dogma down on your throat.
	But the thing is, if you took your time to read these chapters, and you all understand what these verses are about and the details of that, you're like, oh wow, all right, that's, you know what I mean?
	I never learned that in a church, or why did they tell me this, when the Bible clearly says Clearly, Claire's Day, it says this, you know what I mean?
	And we do recommend that for everything, not just the Easter stuff, yeah, too.
	For everything, you know what I mean?
	Everything you have a problem with, go to the source.
	You know, get the scripture from the source.
	Instead of saying, because a lot of people are so quick to go online, they'll type something in Google and some ministry will have their version or their interpretation.
	And you're going to get a million different ones.
	But when you go to the source, it's like, alright, none of these people, what they said, is anything like this.
	The source is the scripture.
	And again, all it takes is the time.
	Just don't go read it like you would read a book, skim through a book.
	No, you gotta read each word very carefully and understand it.
	And if you have to go, you get a strong sequence, if you don't understand what a word means, simply Google it, you know what I mean, for the definition.
	I understand what these words are.
	If you don't understand it, you need to go check it out because don't just skip over it because that word you don't understand that could be a very important keyword that could open up a world of a world of things and if for example check this out right when I don't how many times I read the book of Genesis And when I said it, you know, talks about the creation of the Earth, then the sun, moon, and stars being created on the fourth day.
	Never, you know, all the times I read that, it just skipped right on me.
	It's like, wait a minute, hold on a second.
	Because we got told in society, and I'm not trying to go off the subject, but, you know, it was a big bang, then the universe created, then the solar system, then the Earth was formed and all that, but the Bible is saying the opposite.
	And let there be light, which that means too, you know what I mean?
	And so when you actually contemplate and look at the scriptures, it's like, wow, it's a whole new world that opens up to you.
	And the same thing, it will reveal the truth about these holidays on its own.
	You don't have to listen to me and John.
	Go read the scriptures for yourself.
	You know what I mean?
	I got it right up here, like on the internet here.
	Matthew chapter 28, because there's a lot of controversy of when did he resurrect?
	And I'm gonna go over, like, a little bit of this verse real quick here.
	And, um, chapter 28, it says, "...and at the end of the Sabbath," the end of it, "...as it began to dawn toward the first day," so it's not actually the first day yet, it's dawning toward the first day, "...came Mary Magdalene and others," the other Mary, I'm sorry, "...to see the Septica," which is the tomb of Jesus, then.
	And behold, there was a great earthquake, and for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled the rock back, the stone back, I'm sorry, and sat upon it.
	So now, and his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment was white as snow.
	So now they went to the tomb, okay, this is not necessarily the first day yet, it's coming toward that.
	So, now they went to the tomb, and the fear of them kept them shaken, and became dead as men.
	But the angel answered and said to the woman, Fear ye not, for I know that you seek Jesus, and He was crucified.
	Now, check this out, right?
	Because people say, Oh, He was risen, He rose on the first day, and all that.
	But here's the thing, it's like, now they're saying that this is not necessarily the first day yet.
	They went to the tomb, and they were encountered by an angel, discovered that the tomb was empty.
	But it says, the angel told him right out, he's not here.
	He's already risen.
	As he said he would.
	Come and see the place where the Lord lay.
	You know what I mean?
	So if you look at the situation, they went to the tomb.
	The rock was rolled back by the angel and the tomb was empty.
	And it says it's not really into the first day yet.
	It was already empty.
	He was already gone.
	You know what I mean?
	He was already gone.
	Basically the angel is saying he's already resurrected.
	So, I mean, because you got a lot of controversy when did he actually resurrect, then that's where a lot of people defend the Sunday worship, you know, the Lord's Day.
	Oh, because they met at the tomb on Sunday, but yeah, that was just one time.
	And it doesn't matter if they met Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, that was just that one time.
	And the only reason why they didn't meet on that Saturday, because it was the Sabbath, you know what I mean?
	So there's a lot to take into account to this and that's why you got to really carefully study this and it goes on to and I challenge you guys tonight to You know read this chapter here read chapter 27 28 and it gets into specific details About he's crucified on the high Sabbath and I know the difference with the high Sabbath is compared to the right you know God's Sabbath, you know, I mean and so If you understand these things, you clearly see the picture that's painted out.
	And, you know, it's totally different from what you learn at the churches.
	So, yeah, it's so awesome to just dive into the stuff, man.
	And me and John could be here all night telling you these things, but we want to show you these things, but also we want you to not just listen to us.
	God says the challenge I respect.
	Go read these for yourselves and just take your time like we just did with this short amount of verses.
	We've already learned a great deal.
	There's some verses I just talked about and showed you, yeah, we've already learned a great deal.
	You know what I mean?
	Do you want to add anything to that, John?
	You know, I just would add that, you know, I'll be praying that, you know, I'm praying right now in my heart and in my inside myself that the people listening to this program will take to heart, you know, the idea that You literally are running on a certain amount of time.
	You don't have all this time that you think you have.
	No.
	And eventually the time ends, right?
	If the church can be so corrupted, imagine the other institutions.
	Imagine the mainstream institutions like the schools.
	Imagine the institutions like the school or the media programs, the governments, you know, imagine how corrupted these are.
	And we need to get back to the truth now.
	Now's the time.
	Don't wait.
	You don't have that long.
	You may not even have five minutes, but you know what?
	If you can go and you can turn to the king, you can operate in the power of God and you can operate doing his will, doing what he wants you to do.
	But at the same time, it's going to be exactly what you want to do.
	It's amazing how it works, but you know, it's not always easy.
	It's not always, you know, the, Sometimes there's heartache involved, right?
	Because you see, you see the darkness going on and it's hard, um, to see happen.
	And, um, but at the same time, this is, this is the salvation of your soul.
	This is the light that you need to receive.
	This is the forgiveness that is being offered to you for all of the horrible, awful things that you can't sleep about at night, that you might take depressants for, that you might, you know, try to cover up with alcohol that you just might not want to think about.
	This is the forgiveness that is offered in the blood of the lamb.
	And this is the salvation that's offered.
	And that's all I had to add, Dan.
	Yeah.
	Thank you.
	You want to finish up this?
	I guess you had a couple more slides.
	Did you want to add them in there?
	I mean, we, you know, I think we've covered it pretty so well, dude.
	I, you know, there's, there's so much that can be said.
	You can really do a deep dive into this and find out a lot more because there's books written about it.
	There's all kinds of things that we can bring into context of all of this stuff.
	And, um, That's what is crazy about the subject, because that's why I never get tired of talking about it, because there is so much that leaks into society, and it's shown brightly through this, even.
	You know, just through something like this, you know, with all the stuff going on with Disney, all the stuff going on with all these different companies.
	This has been going on for a long time, and it's just getting worse and worse and worse and worse, to a point to where up is down and down will be up.
	And the true spirit of Baphomet will rule for a while.
	We actually did a show on that.
	Remember that?
	We did a show on the Baphomet statues going up.
	Yeah, I forgot about that.
	This rise of transgenderism everywhere.
	Just like sporadically sprung up.
	Transgenders reading, drag queens reading story hours for kids.
	Just this wild promotion of just transgenderism and it's just like it just spawned up out of nowhere or you know publicly and just right about the time when these Baphomet statues were going up.
	So they're a correlation now you know which relates today too with this Easter stuff too.
	It's all sexually perversion like everything in the occult is a sexual perversion of what God teaches and it's horrible and you know if you notice Yeah, go back to any of them that I missed.
	all just sexual perversion on every which end you know i mean bloody eggs and uh you know having sex uh you know excuse the term screw like jackrabbits i mean that's where all that comes from you know i mean the playboy playgirl using a bunny and it's all related to this and i think you had one of the slides here too um one of the point yeah go back to any of them that i missed i just kind of flipped through them and uh anything any of them that you want me to discuss i'll i'm happy to do dan oh yeah i think it was um yeah slides
	25 and 26 25 26 let me see here the peg introduced So yeah, let's add that one.
	So this one, in many pagan traditions, and you can read many, there's so many different books that I resourced for some of this information.
	It's really interesting.
	And there's actually a lot of like Magic that goes along with the rabbits that they people do with actual rabbits.
	They'll put them underneath their bed for, you know, fertility.
	Um, there's other magic rituals that involve a lot more gory details depending on, you know, the different types of practitioners, but, um, they, they act as spiritual messengers moving between the realm and the human realm and the underworld.
	They're the harbingers of spring companions to the goddesses.
	And the potent symbols of fertility and familial love.
	So these, these symbols, you know, are, there's many reasons for the rabbit, right?
	Rabbits, a lot of people just like rabbits.
	They're cool.
	You know, we had pet rabbits for a while.
	We like, you know, we like rabbits, but there's people that use these for practices of Pagan origin that are associated with Easter.
	So, the mixing of these two together definitely brings to mind this.
	And so, this is the, in this next slide here, is there a slide before that or is this the one?
	This is the character of the Easter bunny first appeared in 16th century Germany writings, which said if the well-behaved children built a nest out of their caps or bonnets, they would be rewarded with colored eggs left in the night by an Easter hare.
	This legend became part of American folklore in the 18th century when Germans immigrated, immigrants settled into the United States.
	So yeah, this, this stuff, you know, that's just the Easter Bunny thing.
	It's interesting.
	Like the Alice in Wonderland, you see the, the rabbit that brings Alice into a whole nother underground world, uh, which, you know, goes right along with the ancient stories of the rabbit and being a spiritual messenger from one realm to another.
	And, um, You know, I can only, I can, when you, when you look at the way it's all presented in the Easter egg hunts, almost every church does an Easter egg hunt.
	You know, you can't get a lot of people in your church on Easter Sunday, unless you do an Easter egg hunt.
	And, um, the Cadbury bunnies got the rabbits that lay the chocolate Easter egg.
	You know, there's just so much integrated into this whole tradition.
	And, you know, in and of itself, if, if you had a bunny that People like to have, have, and, and, you know, play with.
	And it was just like, um, that nothing wrong with a bunny, but in, when you associate it with this equinox or this, um, this solstice, then this is when the pagan practices that happen in this, it's just, it's just, um, they, it's definitely enveloped in the church.
	There's no doubt about that.
	I forgot that I can't record the scripture because I'm going to talk about how, um, I think it's Deuteronomy somewhere.
	It talks about how people widely worship certain beasts and, uh, you know, crawling things and everything else, certain beasts and animals, which you see all over the place.
	Like the rabbit, as we could call it, is widely worshiped.
	In these pagan traditions, I mean, some, you know, cultures worship the elephant, I think it's the Hindus or whatever the case, but yeah, the beasts of the earth work.
	Now these are God's creation, you know what I mean?
	And I forgot where it is, it talks about these things and all that stuff associated with the owl, so the owl is worshipped in the occult as well, and just all these different things, and uh, so the thing is, you, then you're sitting there, it's like, now you know all this stuff, why is my church doing this stuff?
	You know what I mean?
	And uh, one church I went to years and years ago, I, you know, came upon his stuff and I told the pastor that.
	And he goes, well, what do you want me to cancel everything?
	Cause he had a concert, they had a whole weekend planned and stuff.
	What do you want me to cancel everything?
	I'm like, well, if I was in your shoes, I done right would be canceled because you ought to be held accountable before God.
	He didn't like me saying that.
	It's like, well, you're the leader here and you're the one who's going to be held accountable for misleading people.
	And he didn't like that at all.
	But you know, the truth is the truth, you know?
	Yeah, man, that's the problem with being a paid pastor at a congregation like that.
	You really are not able to operate in the way that God would want you to operate with that.
	If you come to the knowledge of that truth and you wanted to shy away from it, the people would leave the church.
	Who knows what would happen, right?
	I feel for people in that position, but they have to choose what's better.
	You know, is it going to be, um, my service to the King who knows my path?
	And if I choose to honor him by leaving what I'm doing, what do you, what do you think he's going to do for you?
	He's going to bless you, right?
	The Bible says those who obey him, he blesses.
	And so don't be scared to go and do what God wants you to do.
	And think of everything that you're doing as a learning path.
	You know, the things that you are doing right now currently in your life are a learning path for whatever you're going to be doing in the future.
	That's just how life works.
	And if you could touch as many people as you can along the way in a positive way and bring the light of the Messiah to people and be about the kingdom, the business of the kingdom.
	The Bible talks about the kingdom being of this world.
	It doesn't talk about going and hunting Easter eggs.
	It doesn't talk about worshiping a fat man on December 25th.
	It doesn't talk about any of that stuff, right?
	It doesn't say any of that, but it does talk about feeding the homeless, you know, taking care of the widow.
	It does say things that involve, you know, giving reverence to God and just being holy and loving other people and being the way that The Spirit would lead you, right?
	If you're led by the Holy Spirit, the fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, happiness, and all of these different things.
	There's a whole scripture of it that talks about just the acts of the Spirit versus the acts of the flesh.
	When you can live in the Spirit and truly obey the King of Kings and all of that, there is An eternal joy that comes with that.
	And I think that we need to search after that and not the approval of men, not the paycheck, not any of those things.
	And the Bible says not even to worry about any of those things.
	He said, but seek you first, the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
	And all of these things will be added unto you.
	All of these things, you know, he's talking about the food, the shelter, all of the, don't worry about those things.
	Seek the kingdom of God first.
	And then these things are going to be given to you.
	You don't even have to worry about it.
	You do what I tell you to do and you will not have to worry.
	I'm the king, you know, he's he's saying I'm the king of the universe.
	You don't have to worry about anything.
	What are you worried about?
	You know, and so that's that's what I hope that people can learn this Passover.
	There's always Passover's always got a lot of you know, things associated with it that are unholy, but it also has a time when we can sit and we can remember the things that happen.
	We can remember the Being led out of Egypt from captivity, being led out into the wilderness.
	We can remember the sacrifice that the Messiah gave us.
	We can remember when he sat amongst his brethren and said, this do in remembrance of me.
	You know, we can we can track these things.
	We can do these things and we can just observe and learn.
	Then we can honor him way more than we can honor a bunny or we can honor Easter egg or whatever, you know, whatever the case may be for that day.
	And so that's what I want to leave people with Dan.
	I don't know if you have anything else you'd like to talk about or whatever.
	I'm game.
	Don't get me wrong.
	I can go for a little while.
	I mean, as long as you want.
	So I can go for as long as you want.
	Alright, if you want to take a couple questions.
	Sorry guys, I forgot my magic jack because it's a little stick I hook into the computer.
	I forgot that because I brought it home because I needed to make phone calls because my girlfriend's phone was out for a couple days.
	I forgot to bring it here.
	So I apologize.
	So, um, the only questions we could take today is in the chat room.
	So if you want some questions, I know people have some questions earlier, but just put them in capital letters if you can, and I'll keep an eye out on the chat.
	And John's watching the chat as well.
	So, and I know one question too, though, John, that a lot of people ask, because there's a lot of controversy of when he was crucified and when he's resurrected, because we got that three day thing.
	Church says three days.
	And about the scripture says three days and three nights referring to 72 hours.
	You know what I mean?
	And then, yeah, I mean you sit there and do the math because years ago too I'm thinking, right?
	I'm just sitting in the church one day and I'm like, clicking in my head.
	It's like, they talk about Good Friday.
	I'm like, hold on a second.
	And everybody could agree it was about three o'clock when he passed.
	And I'm like, wait, hold on a second.
	So, Sunday morning they went, you know, right before Sunday morning went to the open, the tomb was empty.
	He's like, wait, this is not even a full 48 hours, let alone two days.
	He said three days and three nights, you know, I specified twice.
	And also, I'm thinking this, yeah, Matthew 1240 says, just like Jonas and the whale, for three days and three nights in the whale's belly.
	So shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the, let me put that on the screen.
	Yeah, right there.
	He specified twice, three days and three nights, because people quickly throw out three days.
	I mean, three days, yeah, it could be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, whatever the case, but he said three days and three nights, like Jonas was in the whale of the belly, so shall the Son of God, man be, three days and three nights, again, three days, three nights, and heart of the earth would, you know, specify in basically 72 hours.
	So, which comes to that question, I'm like sitting there saying, How could he be crucified on Friday at three o'clock?
	You know, he died at three o'clock and rose right before Sunday morning.
	That's, you know, the math doesn't add up.
	And then people say, well, it could be a contradiction of Bible, misprinting of Bible, whatever the case, or the point is the church has got it wrong.
	You know what I mean?
	So, which defends that Easter resurrection thing.
	So, what are your thoughts on that?
	Because I know that was one of the questions a lot of people were asking about too.
	You know, um, I mean, it's obvious you can't count that many days in between, even if you just, even if you start early in the morning, you can't count that many days and nights in between that, that.
	So, I mean, to me, the answer is obvious.
	I don't know.
	I don't know really how to expound on that.
	The answer is obvious to me.
	There's a, you'll see it in a second on your screen.
	There's a graphic here that I had for a while, and it gives the scriptures and everything else, but it makes an argument, I guess, talking about the High Sabbath that year was on a Wednesday.
	And, you know, it makes sense mathematically, but I mean, I could be wrong about this.
	You'll see it in a second on the screen, in three days and three nights.
	I'm looking at it right now.
	two hours exactly, and it gives us scriptures for that and everything else.
	So that's one of the other theories that are going around too.
	I'm looking at it right now.
	It's just really kind of small from where I'm here.
	Yeah.
	Basically saying, everybody agrees about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, you pass, and so 3 p.m.
	Wednesday to Thursday is 24 hours, through Thursday to Friday is 48 hours, and Friday to Saturday will be the full 72 hours.
	Because they point out when she went to the tomb in the morning, right before the sun came up, whatever.
	What is it saying for the dates of the...
	The dates of the...
	I can't see it because it's so small, Dan.
	But what is it saying for the dates like in the Hebrew calendar months?
	One second, let me pull this up.
	Does it say that?
	Because I can answer it better that way.
	When you use like days of the week, it's really hard for me to kind of understand this because I mean, the days are, you know, to me, it's the Bible says the Passover is on the 14th day of Nisan.
	And so I think this year it falls on the 13th of this month.
	Okay, the first day of preparation.
	I think it would probably be better if I just send you the graphic.
	Okay.
	Because like, I don't know, to me, it makes a strong, good argument.
	You know, a case, whatever, because mathematically it makes sense.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, it could possibly make sense.
	You know, the way I look at it, you know, the way that the The second century church handled it, the ones that were in association with John, is the way that you're going to naturally go for if you believe the Bible.
	Yeah, I think that's the important thing, but now people doing something on Sunday, you know, whatever, do it if you want to do some of the Sunday, but I wouldn't go to a church where they're doing Easter egg bunnies and, and, and eggs and all of that commercial things like that, that are a pagan for sure.
	You know, uh, Sunday, like it said before that they, you know, they just shook hands and they're like, whatever, you know, you guys are going to do this day.
	We're going to do this day and we're going to call it that we're not going to treat you as if you're infidel over it.
	We're just gonna.
	You know, abide in brotherly love, which I think is a good policy normally, but the problem lies in the pagan things of it.
	So I don't know.
	I mean, I'd have to look at this thing really closely to kind of see what it says, but I believe that you're a Facebook messenger.
	Okay.
	I don't know if you have that open.
	Check it out.
	In the meantime, somebody's got a question here.
	MS is asking, is it wrong to celebrate resurrection Sunday?
	If so, why?
	Well, I just kind of answered that a little bit.
	Basically, if you choose to do a celebration on Sunday, make sure it's the celebration that's talked about in the Bible and not the pagan ritual that they got going on at the church.
	And James Crow asks, will the bound angels be released before the return of grace?
	I believe so.
	I do believe so.
	I believe they'll be bound or unbound.
	And this is what it's talking about in that seal.
	When they're unbound and they're going to come out and they could be associated with the frogs too.
	You know, we'll see, see how it goes down.
	But this is definitely before the return, you know, the return happens and he comes and he wipes away everything that's unclean and only the ones that can abide in his light can live.
	And that doesn't include those guys.
	Yeah, because I've been trying to research the actual dates.
	And here's the other thing, too.
	Because of history and all the things, I don't think we would ever know the actual, I mean, that's my opinion, the actual times and everything else, too.
	That's the other thing, too.
	Because it could be variations or whatever the case, who knows.
	So that graphic there, I mean, to me, it presents a great argument.
	It really does.
	It mathematically makes sense.
	But, again, it could be wrong, too.
	So it's something we would have to really look at.
	But like John said, too, if you...
	If you're gonna celebrate on a Sunday or whatever, just do it in a biblical way.
	You know what I mean?
	You can't go wrong going the biblical way.
	And if you really need the sermon, ask the Lord.
	You know what I mean?
	Pray to the Lord and He'll let you know.
	You know what I mean?
	Somehow, someway, He'll let you know.
	But don't do it with the Easter egg stuff and everything.
	That alone, it doesn't matter what day that is, okay?
	You know, that's just pure evil altogether.
	And if your church is doing that, I know people like the fellowship.
	A lot of my friends go to the churches because they like the fellowship.
	You know what I mean?
	I understand that.
	But the thing is, I can't bring myself to go in these places because number one, you're not on the Sabbath day.
	Number two, you're doing pagan traditions.
	And I can't, you know, the Holy Spirit convicted the last time, I think it was like six years ago, five, six years ago.
	I tried to go to a regular church just to get my family acquainted with it and get into that.
	And the Holy Spirit kept pounding.
	Every Sunday when I went to that church, I kept getting pounded by the Holy Spirit.
	I got convicted.
	And it's just like, you know what I mean?
	I can't bring myself to do that, you know what I mean?
	And I got friends, oh, come on my church, I know it's Sunday, but they're good.
	I'm not saying they're good or not, but the thing is, I can't do that, you know what I mean?
	And because that's Holy Spirit inside, you're convicted.
	You know, it's like, how are you going to know this stuff now?
	Now go back to a secular, I call them secular churches, and do this stuff and take part in these pagan practices.
	How could you feel good about yourself?
	You know what I mean?
	How could you do that?
	You know what I mean?
	And in your heart and your soul, it's like, that Holy Spirit says, get the hell out of this church!
	You know what I mean?
	Or, you know, condemn these people for doing that, you know?
	And, uh, you know what I mean?
	It's like, so it's that struggle, and I understand, because, uh, and another thing, too, me and John, John went through it for a while, too, um, because my soon-to-be wife, yeah, she's still, her and her family's still doing the Christmas Easter stuff.
	Now she, now she, uh, understands, and, uh, she, respects my point of view on this, but I'm still caught between a rock and hard play.
	So what do we recommend to you?
	Because I know that question is going to come up.
	What if my wife's doing all my family?
	You know, you need to go at these very carefully and very fragile because the thing is, you don't want to push them away either.
	But on the same time, the same token, don't, I mean, if dead pit take and part of these traditions, you don't do it for their sake.
	You know what I mean?
	Just say, listen, you need to respect my thing.
	That's why I tell my girl, if you're going to continue with the Easter stuff, listen, I don't want nothing to do with it.
	My thing is the Passover.
	I want, you know, I don't want nothing to do with the Easter part.
	She understands that and she totally respects that now.
	And she's starting to learn slowly.
	You know what I mean?
	So, you know what I mean?
	So, you've got to tread carefully is what I'm trying to say with your family members.
	Tread carefully and lead by example.
	That's the best you can do and pray for them.
	Because you can't force somebody to do anything.
	I mean, you really can't.
	And all you got to do is push somebody away and push them, you know, probably destroy your relationship on top of it.
	So what would your recommendation be for something like that?
	Man, you know, that's this is one of those situations where all of the the situations are going to be different because different people have different personalities.
	Different people or some people are more thoroughly ingrained in the world and they're, they're embedded in it and impregnated into it.
	You know, they're just alive with the spirit of antichrist and some people, um, do want to, to honor God.
	Right.
	So it's hard to say a hundred percent for every situation, how to handle it.
	Now.
	Um, I myself dealt with a similar situation.
	Uh, you know, when I started doing these things, my wife wasn't on board, she didn't know what was going on.
	You know, I, my, The way that I came to Messiah is completely, probably different than a lot of people listening to this, but you know, at one time I was a drug dealer, a drug addict, a criminal in a lot of different ways, right?
	And, um, one, one day, you know, I was, um, involved in kind of like a sting operation type thing.
	And I got called off to jail and I was just kind of in the wrong place at the wrong time at that, at that moment.
	Right.
	And, um, In that jail cell, I was going through drug withdrawals.
	I had, I was also on a lot of prescription drugs that were just, um, you know, you could die if you quit taking them, like antipsychotics and, and just all of these different things.
	And, um, previously before that I'd wanted to kill myself and I was just kind of like at a low point in life, you know, I felt just kind of just.
	Just like nothing, like I didn't deserve to live, not necessarily didn't deserve to live, but I just didn't feel like I've added any value to the people in my life and I was just done, you know?
	And I'm sure a lot of people can relate with that feeling, but I was in this jail cell going through this stuff and I'm thinking in my head, you know, I'm just laying there and all of these things are going through my mind.
	I'm seeing different things.
	I just remember thinking that this is the way my life's going to go.
	You know, I see all of these different people that I know in this jail coming in, you know, coming out into the system over and over again, that's their life, right?
	And I know at this point, this is going to probably start being my life if I don't turn myself around and things don't change.
	But I knew that I couldn't turn myself around because I tried myself on my own power to turn myself around.
	And, and shed the nature of my flesh, which was corrupt, right?
	Very corrupt.
	And, um, so I remember laying there and just thinking, you know, like there's, there's one thing I haven't tried.
	There's one thing that I remember hearing about, uh, there's one person, there's one thing, you know, there's, there had been different events leading up to this, but I remember thinking, you know what, I'm ready to give up on what I want to do.
	I'm done.
	Like, what I want to do is irrelevant at this point.
	It means nothing anymore.
	And I want to do what God wants me to do.
	But I didn't know.
	I was just, you know, I was humbled, you know, I was low.
	And I cried out to him in my mind.
	I just prayed to him.
	I said, you know, if you're real, you know, let me know that you're real.
	Let me know that you love me.
	And let me know that I, you know, all this and I'll do, I'll do anything for you.
	I'll serve you till the day that I die.
	I'll never stop.
	And, um, not too long after that happened.
	Um, you know, I hear a rapping on the door sill and they opened the door, they opened the door, you hear the keys jiggling and they call my name.
	And so I go out and I'm, you know, laying on the ground at this point.
	There's like, I don't know, 20 or 30 people in the holding cells.
	Not even a big, it's not a big cell at all.
	There's 20 or 30 people.
	You had guys laying underneath the toilet and laying, you know, people taking a piss right over the top of them and taking dumps right over the top of them while they're laying in the toilet.
	It was a bad situation, right?
	So I get out and I go into this room and there's a guy there and, you know, the detectives, there's a task force that had been interviewing all of us trying to figure stuff out.
	He says, he's like, John, what's going on, man?
	He's like, Pounders, is that you?
	Pounders, what's going on?
	And I look up, and this is, I recognize the face.
	This is a guy that used to play in a band a long time ago, this metal band, and he's a cop now, and a believer.
	He's laying, he says he's laying in bed, and he hears my name coming over the scanner thing that they're doing, because they've been working on this case for a long time, that they were trying to sting somebody in, and He, uh, he's laying in bed with his wife and his kids.
	And he says, God tells him that he needs to come pray for me.
	And so he prays for me, man.
	And when he did that, that to me, that was a sign that, that God, um, cared about me.
	Right.
	And I don't know if that meant it to him or what I'd have no idea.
	But to me, to me, that was everything in that moment.
	That was like, that was the sign that God wanted me to do what he wanted me to do.
	And now that path was a, it was a path that just kept on getting more and more straight and narrow.
	Over time, you know, it takes time to continue on the straight and narrow sometimes.
	And because you're shedding all of these things that you're used to, right?
	Your spirit becomes stronger than your flesh and you start putting those things into subjection.
	But it takes a long time.
	It took me a few years, right?
	Two years of studying the Bible, a few years of just really honing in on what God wanted in my life to the point I'm at now.
	All of these things happen.
	So when it happened though, when this all happened, when I came home, my wife didn't really recognize me.
	You know what I'm saying?
	This is the person I was because I was like, you know, I burned pounds and pounds and pounds of drugs.
	I, um, you know, got rid of all of it.
	I changed my phone number.
	I did all these things and I'm like, you know, I'm done with all this.
	And I started reading the Bible.
	And so I started talking about these things to my wife and she's like, what do you know, man?
	You know, you've been, you've, uh, Like I've been going to church my whole life.
	You quit going to church after school and all these different things.
	And, um, and so she didn't really, you know, I didn't have any authority with her at the time.
	I mean, I took a, it took a long time for me for her to regain her trust for me.
	You know, uh, the things that I was involved in, you know, I was, she, when I got arrested, she didn't even think anything.
	I was, she thought I was like a strip club or something, you know what I mean?
	She had no idea what was going on.
	So.
	It took years for her to regain the trust, but once she figured out that I truly was a different person, it changed everything for her.
	She had to go through a renewal process and, and then eventually, you know, once she went through that renewal process herself, just like I went through for her, it took, you know, she had a, she had a miscarriage and it, and it really shook her in a way that she humbled herself before God and it changed her mindset.
	So it wasn't my doing that did it.
	Um, it was his doing, right?
	It was his doing, but I was an example.
	I was a seed, a pastor.
	I was, I was the one that he used to, to maybe just be in her life.
	But, uh, she has her own story, right?
	We all have our own story.
	Our spouses are a part of us, but God loves us and he wants what's best for us.
	And I believe that if we fast and we pray, you know, I used to fast and pray for my wife, uh, because I just wanted so badly for her to see what I saw and to, To be able to live, you know, in harmony with me.
	I wanted that so bad.
	And, um, I was just trying to be as patient as I could.
	And that's, that's the best advice I can give you.
	Be patient, be kind, and, and seek the Lord fast and pray and go to war for your wife, you know, go to war for your husband on your knees.
	Hey, did you ever, um, uh, see that officer again and tell him, you know, how he changed, helped change your life?
	Yeah, man, actually, we became friends after that.
	Yeah, we started a record label together.
	And he died, you know, a couple years after that, man, of leukemia.
	But yeah, dude, I definitely did.
	I mean, it was cool for him to see, you know, that happen for him.
	It was just, you know, a huge faith builder.
	He touched a lot of people, man.
	He was actually on some I am second video giving his testimony.
	He, in his death, he reached a lot of people in his death and, you know, we We continued that record label for a while in his memory until I decided to move away from that because the churches were trying to squeeze in on what we had going on.
	That's kind of the story of that, but that's my advice in a long-winded way.
	And one last question, and I know you're tired.
	So, woman Teresa from South Africa, she says, when you refer to the 14th of Nissan, do you count 14 days after spring equinox or 14 days after the first new moon closest to the spring equinox?
	Would appreciate your input.
	So, I just go by the calendar that the the regular calendar calendar and just go on the 14th.
	So I just go the count.
	I believe the calendars from what I can tell now I'm looking through history to see, but I believe the calendar is the same as it was during the time of Jesus.
	Um, so that's what I go by.
	And so that's, that's the one I, uh, go for.
	So basically this Thursday you'll be honoring the Passover with the family?
	Let me see here, let me see here.
	So Thursday's the 14th?
	So yeah, the 14th would be Passover, so we'll be honoring it on, or the 13th would be Passover, so Wednesday.
	Oh.
	And this, because the Nisan would be the 14th, so this, and that's April 13th this year, I think.
	Look it up, but I think it's April 13th this year.
	Uh, but yeah, we do, we do a basic thing, man.
	We've, we've done all kinds of different things.
	We've, we've, uh, we know we have, we have sheep, so we've had our own sheep and we've done, um, the Passover as, you know, just as try to be as real as it was done back in the ancient times.
	We've had big events where we've had Passovers.
	We've, um, you know, stayed up all night.
	Like it says to, you know, stay, stay, keep visual all night.
	We've done that with our friends and family.
	We've done a lot of different things just to try to honor it and to relive it and to enjoy it, you know, for what it is.
	And, um, I think a lot of people get, uh, caught up on a lot of things and I, and, uh, well, the dates and stuff.
	And it's not that I don't think it's important to try to know the dates, but the, the, the reason is the most important thing, because if you're confused about it and you do it wrong, God's, you know, he's not going to be like you idiot.
	Why couldn't you figure out these dates?
	Well, I know, you know, I know they were debated amongst, you know, scholars for hundreds of years and, you know, people had our, you know, big splits over these things, but I expect you to know that.
	I don't think that, I don't think that, I think the reason we do it and, and, uh, to the best of our knowledge is important.
	And I think also trying to be in unity amongst the people that we're around.
	Like, you know, if, if I've got somebody that understands the 14th of Nissan to be Actually the night of that before that or this or that and they are all doing a celebration.
	I'm going to go celebrate with them.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I'm not going to like I'm not going to sit there and pretend like I'm all high and mighty.
	I know everything.
	I'm just not going to do it.
	I'm going to go and I'm going to do to be in unity with my brethren around me because that's who God's given me around me is the people that are there and that's what I'm going to do and it's not be in where but if they were doing pagan stuff involved in it, you can bet right then that I wouldn't be involved in it, but it's not about that.
	It's about trying to honor what God would have us do for Passover and just being able to enjoy it, man.
	It's enjoyable.
	It's an awesome time.
	Easter Sunday sucks, dude.
	I mean, people get up and they go, they get in these suits and they never go to church hardly all year.
	And then there's all loads of people doing there for Easter egg hunts, a bunch of kids running around in suits, getting grass stains all over their knees.
	And they go and gorge down an Easter ham and, um, Go right to, you know, whatever they're doing for the day, but you know, Passover is a cool event.
	It's a holy event.
	It's, you know, you, when, when he said this, do remember to me, this is an interesting thing that we can do on this day and we can talk about those things and we can discuss it and we can, um, really kind of understand.
	And, you know, the Bible says that the feasts are a shadow of things to come.
	So we keep vigil.
	It says to keep vigil, you know, what are the chances that when the King comes, It's once again on a Passover, right?
	When the angel of death comes, it's on a Passover again, right?
	What are the chances that these things line up with something that's going to take place?
	And so we do the best we can to the best of our knowledge.
	And I think if you believe this way and I believe the other way, I try not to get too involved in debating it and all of that, because I don't want to cause division on that subject.
	I just want people to do To the best of what they're supposed to do and then because ultimately you're you're the ones responsible for your own family, right?
	I'm not responsible for your family.
	You have to do you, you know, if you're especially if you're the man of the family, the Bible says that you're the head of the household, right?
	You're the you're you're the you're here and you have to lead your family accordingly.
	And so my opinion matters less Then, then your opinion.
	So that's what you need to understand.
	And if you are a single woman and you don't understand what to do, go back and read what the first church did, you know, how they celebrated.
	You can read about it in the Bible.
	You can read about it in the, in the history of the church fathers.
	The first is because they did it the same way for at least a few hundred years, at least on the, on the Asian, the The disciples of John the Apostle did it the same way for a long time.
	There's a record of that.
	So do it, do it, you know, do it the way the scripture says and do it on the day that the scripture says to do it.
	And you have no way of 100% knowing if the calendar has been corrupted.
	The new moon's, the new moon calendar, of course, a new moon means it's a new month, right?
	And we know that On the 14th day of the of the new moon, there's gonna be a full moon on that day Which is pretty interesting as well.
	You brought that up because judge Deplorable said uh, does the new moon have any influence on the date?
	I don't know if you already answered that part Well, yeah, I mean it always happens on that day.
	Yeah Every time so yeah, I think so.
	I think there's something interesting about that So I think that's it's the right day.
	I do I know I don't feel I'm convicted convicted that it's not I feel like it is, you know, I Because it always happens the same way.
	Now, the ham thing, you mentioned the ham and all that.
	People go eat the ham and all that.
	Now, number one, we know it's like, you know, it said that symbolism for Tammuz, and that's why it's eaten on Christmas in Eastern Tammuz, which is the son of Nimrod, Horus, if you will, whatever the case is.
	And also the Bible does talk about not eating food sacrificed unto God, which that is.
	It's, uh, eating Hamas symbolism to, um, uh, Tammuz, I believe it is for Easter.
	I know for Christmas it's Tammuz.
	Is that correct?
	Uh, how that goes?
	Uh, well, yeah.
	So I looked through a lot of different mythologies on that and others.
	There's a bunch of different stuff.
	And, uh, I, I did find that there's a boar associated with it.
	Now, the tradition of slaying the boar and eating the ham, I had to try to verify that for myself in an ancient text, and I have yet to find the ancient text that quotes that.
	But there is a wild boar mentioned in the Goring Hymn.
	Yes, that is mentioned for sure.
	That's part of the mythology, the idea of eating it.
	And the weeping of Tammuz is also mentioned.
	I have found You know, they have a record of how many days and stuff like that.
	So that's a real thing.
	Uh, for sure.
	Historically, at least I can verify, I'm not saying the other one's not real.
	I just haven't been able to verify it yet.
	If you have a primary source, ancient primary source on that, that actually deals with these stories, I would love to see it.
	I really would because that's, that's where, yeah, that's where stuff kind of gets a little hairy.
	Cause there's a lot of theories and a lot of things people say, but you know, where are the references on this, you know?
	And the other thing too, I mean, if you have a question about that, just the fact that, you know, scripture tells us to stay away from unclean meat, that alone should just like, if it's about Nimrod or Tammuz or not, just the fact that, you know, we shouldn't be eating unclean food as the Bible, even Jesus himself and the disciples, we shouldn't be eating unclean food as the Bible, even Jesus himself and the disciples, You know, just that very fact alone.
	Um, that would should answer your question right there.
	You know, I mean and uh, I would not eat Uh, you know, like I said, my family still does that they do the ham and everything I don't even touch anything like that, you know, I mean and uh I mean, years ago when I used to eat this stuff, I mean, yeah, it tasted good, absolutely, but later on, like, it's just a weird feeling in your stomach, and I think that was the father saying, hey, dude, you're eating some garbage, you know what I mean?
	Plain and simple, but, um, if I was answering the question, eating pork and all that stuff for these holidays, guys, um, even if it goes along with, you know, the pagan tradition or not, the point is that the scripture forbids us to do that.
	Yes, the followers of Jesus as well to do that.
	I I would just stay away from it altogether.
	That's my personal Opinion, that's what I do, you know Yeah All right, man, I'm sorry, you know you're tired you might get going but um Yeah, John any closing comments brother?
