| What Does The Movie 10 Commandments have to with Easter |
|
| |
One of my favorite movies is The Ten Commandments that every year is on TV during Easter? But I often wander what that move has to do with Easter? Have you?
It wasn't until a Messianic Jewish woman did a Sader a passover meal that I saw how the passover and last supper was like.The Jewish woman son did the service he had long black hair and a beard.He must of look like Moses and Jesus.
Moses delivered Gods people out of bondage and to the promise land.Jesus delivered us from the bondage of sin and to our Heavenly Father Table land.
Moses had to fight Egyptians gods with plagues.
The first plagues turning the Nile river into blood. The Nile river was the blood stream of their chief god,Osiris's So Moses God the true God turn all water into blood causing pollution and death.
2) Plague of frogs, the frog being the mythical king-of-frogs,Hapi the god of prosperity.So God gave them so many frogs that they couldn't take it any more prosperity!
3) Plague of lice, Horus was the goddess of fertility,symbolized by lice. God made the lice so fertile that they ask Moses to get rid of them.
4) Plague of flies the Egyptian worship of Uatchit,a fly,who was thought to deposit life wherever he alighted. Flies are very effective transportation for diseases.
5) Apis, the sacred bull,was the symbol of healing.His wife Hathor symbolized life. With sores, which killed the cattle,God caused the Egyptians' gods of life and healing to get sick and die before their eyes.
6)Sekhet was the Egyptian guardian of medicine whose priests were the doctors and veterinarians.When Hod sent boils that covered both men and beast,the priests could not heal.
7) gods of Qetesh and Reshpu was embarrassing when God rained down hail so dreadful that every man,beast,herb,and tree in open fields were destroyed.
8) Next God sent locusts which symbolized Isis,the goddess of fruitfulness.God caused their goddess of fruitfulness to complete the destruction of every fruit bearing,green,living thing left after the hail.
9) Ra their son god was covered with a blanket of darkness. Ra was a powerful,dependable god who had never failed to shine until the True God did it.
10) The final plague was a direct assault on the last two major gods of Egypt. Min,the god of procreation was worshiped at the birth of every mail child.Ptah, the god of creation,was said to hold the scepter of life. When all first born died by the angle of death.
All that had the blood of the lamb over their door were safe.Just like all that has the blood of Jesus over them are wash away their sin and death ever lasting. On the passover meal the Lamb could not have a broken bone and be without blemish just like Jesus didn't have a broken bone and was without sin.
Allot of the Jewish festival point to Jesus!
Passover ( The Lord's Supper).
Passover is an eight-day holiday,beginning on the 14th day of the first month of the Jewish calendar,and continuing for the next seven days.
In preparation for the Passover holiday,the woman of the house and the children clean the house,in order to remove all leaven (yeast). It is a time for us to examine ourselves,to remove sinfulness from us,and to prepare ourselves for the Passover.
By tradition,the meal includes many elements that remind us that we were slaves but were made free,of the awful price of our freedom,and of God's abiding love.
The matzah,or unleavened bread,reminds us of the bread of our ancestors eaten in haste. It also reminds us of the spinelessness of our Lord Jesus.
Three matzah are formed into a "unity,"which the rabbis describe variously as the unity of the Patriarchs,or the unity of Israel,but in which we see as the tri-unity of the God,the Father,the Son and the Holy Spirit.The middle matzah is taken out,broken in half,and one half used in the service.
This half of the matzah is shown to be stripped and pierced,reminding us that our Lord Jesus was tortured and killed. It is then shared among those gathered.
The other half is hidden,as our Lord was hidden for a time. After the meal the children are to search for it,which reminds us of the resurrection.(I guess you could look at this as our Easter egg hunt.)
I know that some of you have been to Saders tell us how you like it! How did you feel when you did the service?
Peace Be With You,
Bro. |

around the time of Passover, but the "christian" faith has become harlots and participate in heathen fertility rites.
The name "Easter" originated with the names of an ancient goddess and god. The Venerable Bede, (672-735 CE.) a Christian scholar, first asserted in his book De Ratione Temporum that Easter was named after Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre). She was the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Similarly, the "Teutonic dawn goddess of fertility [was] known variously as Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur, Austron and Ausos." 1 Her name was derived from the ancient word for spring: "eastre." Similar goddesses were known by other names in ancient cultures around the Mediterranean, and were celebrated in the springtime. Some were:  | Aphrodite from ancient Cyprus | | Ashtoreth from ancient Israel | | Astarté from ancient Greece | | Demeter from Mycenae | | Hathor from ancient Egypt | | Ishtar from Assyria | | Kali, from India | | Ostara a Norse Goddess of fertility. |

Thanks, Doyle for a very eye-opening post. I really enjoyed learning how the plagues our God sent put Egyptian "gods" to shame. God bless. |
