Easter Celebration | sojministries

Let us Explore the true meaning & history of "Easter", shall we...

Every Year, on a Sunday, people of all faiths gather together in their local churches, all dressed up Extra Special, especially their little boys and little girls, whom are all Bright eyed and Excited for the days coming event... "Easter".

Children are taught from as far back as they can remember, (most even Earlier than that, with pictures to prove it) of "Easter", but what the Christians teach the holiday is to be, is Not what the Kids remember it being about at All.

Christian faiths teach that Easter is the "Passover". Passover symbolically took place during the days of Moses. To the Jews, this marked the day they were liberated from "400 years of slavery by the Egyptians."

Exodus chapter 12: verses 1 thru 51 of your bibles is where you will find the Text regarding the now called "Passover/Easter" including how it came to be and what it's tradition Really was all about.

The Jews had Sold themselves into what was later called "Slavery" to the Egyptian people because the Jews were literally Starving as a race, to the point of cannibalism even, as their livestock were also starving and dying off.

While in "slavery" to the Egyptian pharaoh's, the Jews Ate like Kings - all the best wines and foods, because the Nile River flourished the lands of Egypt. They were Hardly treated as what one would envision when they hear the word "Slave", for YEARS they were lavished and Not treated badly at all.

But as time and pharaoh's would come to pass, the Jews even Forgetting that they Were actually "slaves", one day came the Rude awakening that they had been Payed to be actually work For the Egyptian people. After these 400 years of luxery, came the Pharoah who would slap reality into the Jews of Egypt's face, and begin to show them what the word "Slave" now means today...

Initially, this pharaoh was Intimidated by the mass numbers of Jew people among them in their land - the Jews outnumbered the Egyptians by many. But his intimidation soon turned into anger and vindictiveness toward the Jews, so he began Rationing the Jews food accessibility, and then began limiting their supplies for work, giving him grounds to have them whipped and beat.

The abuse became so Great, and went on for some years, until one day, Moses ended up Killing an Egyptian during the course of trying to protect a fellow Jew that was being whipped Wrongfully. Moses threw the Egyptian guys head into a Wall, killing him practically Instantly. So then Moses, out of Panic, hid the Egyptian's body in the sand, and he fled to Midian so he could have Time to figure out what he was going to do... he Knew that the Egyptians would likely Kill him for having killed one of their own if they found out and got their hands on him.

But the next day, Moses returned to the scene, acting like Nothing had happened. Upon his arrival, he found two jews beginning to fight amongst oneanother, one being more of a bully toward the other. Moses jumped into the middle of their fight in effort of stopping them. The bully of the 2 Jews, got Angry that Moses Dare to jump in and try to stop their fight, and sarcastically asked if Moses would kill Them as he had the Egyptian the day before, shutting Moses down in his tracks and sending him to run away again!

That's about the time that great Creator himself came to Moses in voice, and instructed him to go Back, and to bring the jews Out of Egypt and out of their contract with the Egyptians binding them into their "Slavery" to the Egyptians.

Moses didn't want to do it, so great Creator Respected that, and told Moses to have his brother "Aaron" go to the pharaoh to break the contract so that the jews could freely leave Egypt.

This pharaoh didn't Listen or Want to let the jews freely leave, not after all the 400 years of payment in luxuries that had been given them and they having done little if Any work to earn it. Aaron Warned the pharaoh that if he did Not release the Jews of their contract, that great Creator would dispense 10 Plagues upon the Egyptian people.

And so it was, and happened, great Creator, one by one, released 10 Devastating plagues upon the Egyptian people, and the Egyptians didn't give in until the 9th one was released out of stubborn pride... the 10th being All of the Egyptians First Born DYING... which Did Happen While the bitter yet frightened Egyptians were Insisting all the Jews Immediately Leave their land.

But the damage was done, and great Creator was Pissed as the Egyptian people, and by this point was bent on Devastating their way of life, which he did by way of the east wind. Creator used the wind to separate the waters of the great Red Sea, and he held the water Until Moses & All the Jews with him had safely ventured across the sea floor, and then, when the Egyptians - now Angry, trying to ensue the Jews across the sea floor, great Creator Released it upon Egypt Directly from ABOVE the situation, literally demolished Everything including the Egyptian army attempting to pursue the Jews ~ Moses and the Jews were Protected by great Creator, narrowly escaping the gigantic Tidal Wave by having made it to the Other side of the Red Sea, which the Egyptian's did Not, they Drowned.

From that day forward, great Creator Instructed the Jews to Commerate the day for ALL future generations to come, as it being a celebration festival for great Creator having set them free by doing what they had as the 10th plague had come to be released upon the Egyptian people during the time, which was to go a Week beforehand, without consuming anything leavened with yeast as far as food, and then, to sacrifice a perfect lamb.

Creator gave them instructions for the festival to last 7 days, each day doing specific things they were to do to appease Great Creator. During the 7 days they were NOT to WORK at All, other than to prepare their daily meals as they Are to eat during these days as most others, just that they are to eat Only Unleavened bread, meaning NOTHING with YEAST!

Then on the 7th day, the Jews were to first Drain the blood from the most perfect a lamb they could find , and they were to smear the blood Over the doorway and along the sides of their doorways, so that the Avenging angel of God would pass them and their households over, Just as it was when great Creator passed Them over when killing all of the Egyptians first born children , which WAS the 10th plague. Note that the Jews Especially they did this for the sake of protecting their children. The meat of the lamb, they were to Cook in HERBS and then Eat as a feast in honor of the death of Christ, the sacrificial lamb of great Creator that would later come in Place of the sacred lamb used during these times.

They were instructed to do this Yearly, But, to NOT let any non-Jew partake in the celebration feast WITH them Unless they had been Circumcised, which symbolized having been given to great Creator as a sacrifice of themselves, as a token of gratitude for their eternal freedom that resulted from these days events of Moses and their time.

True Easter Celebration

The history of how we got Easter, is the history of how and why Christianity changed its foundational 1st century A.D. beliefs and practices to something entirely different. than what it was Historically at the Decision and Instruction of great Creator.

The early church abandoned its annual observance of the JEWISH term "Passover", which after the days of Moses and the Jews fleeing Egypt, was secondly instituted by Jesus himself to commemorate his Physical death upon our earth, which you can find in the New Testament of Any "Holy Bible" by the way, according to their book, (not the Jewish texts or account of Course), and then the early church "Adopted" the celebration to Now mean and symbolize Christ's Resurrection, which somehow today is being translated into "Easter Sunday", meaning, they've turned their Jesus - into a Rabbit who lays chocolate eggs for all of us to eat and enjoy, IF you stop and really LOOK at what they've done.

Briefly, the introduction of Easter Sunday first began in Palestine after Roman Emperor Hadrian ruthlessly crushed a Jewish rebellion known as the "Barkokeba Revolt", which occurred from 132 thru 135 A.D.

After his victory, Hadrian rebuilt the ruins of Jerusalem and expelled ALL Jews and Jewish-Christians from the land. He also enforced a policy Prohibiting the practice of Anything that resembled the Jewish religion (Including the keeping of a Christian Passover, the true Sabbath being honored on Saturday as it had been Always before now, and so forth.) Jerusalem's Jewish-Christian bishops and members were replaced, as Eusebius tells us, with Gentile members and leaders:

"The Church there was now composed of Gentiles, the first one to assume the government of it after the bishops of the circumcision was Marcus." which you can find in (Eusebius: The Church History 4,6,4; Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, second series, vol. 1, page 178)

The new leaders of the church changed the traditional date of the Christian Passover, which was SATURDAY, (Nisan 14) to SUNDAY, in order to separate and distance Themselves from Jews and Jewish-Christians. Soon, many Gentile-Christian churches, including the church at Rome itself, adopted keeping Passover on a Sunday rather than the Correct day which is Saturday!

As the influence of Jewish Christians progressively diminished in the church houses and temples from this day forward, the power of Gentile Christians Obviously increased. As Gentiles as we're called, meaning NOT of Jewish Bloodline or Pedigree, gained control of the churches of the lands, Gentile Christians began to replace the Biblical symbols and ceremonies of Passover with what organized religions will tell you are "Pagan Symbols" and of Course what they call "myths, legends and or Wives Tales". Jewish Passover, according to them, became what churches today teach and practition as "Easter," which in This Concept, derives from Eastre, Eostre, Eostra, and Ostara.

The influence of, let's call it, "non-Christian religious practices" now going on in the church, also brought the replacement of the Passover symbolism of the lamb with that of the hare, meaning Bunny. The way they teach the legend is that The Easter hare/ bunny was once a bird that the goddess Eostre changed into a four-footed creature. The hare, or rabbit, became a symbol of fertility, presumably because rabbits are notably prolific. The hare laid eggs, which became the symbol of the abundant new life of spring. Thus, the Easter egg is the production, not of some mystical bird but of a rabbit or hare... and Apparently the eggs contains Chocolate - All RIGHT for kids huh!

The origin of the Easter egg is traced back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Babylon, Phoenicia, and Greece, where the universe is said to have been born from a mighty world egg:

"The ancient peoples of Egypt, Persia, Greece, Rome, and China exchanged eggs at their spring fertility festivals. In Babylonia, eggs were presented to the goddess of fertility, Astarte (Eostre)." (Passover: Before Messiah and After, Donna and Mal Broadhurst, page 156.

Christians adopted eggs for their Easter celebration because the egg was a popular "Pagan" symbol of death and life. It was a symbol of death because the shell is like a tomb that imprisons the life-germ inside. It was a symbol of life insofar as it contains the source of a new creature.

There are innumerable European folk customs connected with Easter eggs. Painted eggs had symbols such as Roman crosses and swastikas. Egg hunting in gardens was a favorite holiday game for children for many generations. The advent of the industrial era brought eggs made of chocolate and sugar, wrapped in tin foil, or even trimmed with real gold and jewels.

On the first Monday after Easter Sunday, the United States White House sponsors an Easter egg roll event. Begun in 1878 A.D., it occurs each year on the White House lawn. The Egg Roll itself is a race, where children push an egg through the grass with a long-handled spoon.

Reviewing the Symbols and Traditions encompassing "Easter"

Candy is a relatively recent tradition added to the celebration of "Easter". It began in Europe in the early 1800s, when the Very First chocolate eggs were Ever Made, and when it comes to Easter, they are and Remain the Most popular candy to be had, especially by the kids!

The Easter Basket tradition has its roots in what is called "German folklore". Germans believed a white hare would leave brightly colored eggs for all good children on Easter morning. German settlers brought the tradition to the United States in the 18th century.

Easter Bonnets are a throwback to the days when the people denied themselves the pleasure of wearing fine clothes for the duration of Lent according to Christian justification.

Jellybeans did not become an Easter tradition until the 1930s. They were probably first made in America by Boston candy maker William Schrafft, who ran advertisements urging people to send jellybeans to soldiers fighting in the American Civil War from 1861 thru 1865 A.D.. The favorite jellybean flavors of Most children when it comes to Jellybeans are cherry, strawberry, and grape.

The twists of a pretzel resemble arms crossed in prayer too they'll tell ya, making sure to cover All Things "folklore" are explained away without Christian association but mockery for denunciation reasons.

Does it MATTER, and if it should, Why?

Most of the Internet sites via computer, that offer historical information about Easter and its symbols freely admit to their non-Christian (pagan) roots. Many who keep it understand that at least some of the holiday's trappings (eggs, rabbits, baskets, etc.) have no Biblical basis whatsoever, and pride so Especially in front of Christians.

So Why do self-proclaimed "Christian" people still celebrate the religious holiday even after they "know the facts?" It all comes down to one simple question. DOES IT MATTER?

Does it matter that the church Realistically Speaking have Stolen, in the name of "adoption", and transformed an ancient festival used to worship what they Then Demand to be "FALSE gods" to worship and NOT the God of their Bible?

More Importantly, Does it matter to GOD what customs and symbols are used to worship and honor Him as long as those who do them are sincere and have a good attitude and Honorably Worshipping HIM?

The book of Exodus has one of the best Biblical examples of what God thinks about being worshipped using any of the customs and practices found in the worship of "false" or "pagan gods" as they will portray it. We will venture down this road to the point of hazardous danger, based on how the congregation is able to handle it and yet remain respectful and verbally restrained.

What they will do, is pick up the story right after God has used Moses and Aaron to free the children of Israel from Egyptian slavery as told above and found in Exodus chapter 12. The Israelites are out temporarily camping near Mount Sinai together, waiting for Moses to return after God commanded him to go up the mountain (where Moses would receive the Ten Commandments engraved in stone). As time passes without the appearance of Moses, the Israelites grew a little restless . . .

"Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."

"And Aaron said to them, "Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me." . . . And he (Aaron) received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf. Then they said, "This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!"

"So when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, "Tomorrow is a FEAST TO THE LORD." Then they rose early on the next day, offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play." (Exodus 32:1-2, 4-6, NKJV)

Note one very critical, but easy to overlook, fact concerning the above account. The Israelites, through Aaron's leadership, adapted the symbols (e.g. the idols) and ceremonies (uncontrolled revelry and orgies - verse 6) used to worship Egyptian gods to worship the TRUE God! The Bible does NOT state the Israelites used "Pagan practices" to celebrate a festival to Baal, Molech or even any of the false Egyptian gods. In their minds, the children of Israel were having a "Feast TO THE LORD!" Now, what did GOD think about the Israelites "borrowing" pagan symbols and ceremonies to use to worship HIM is Another Unanswered Question!

"And the Lord said to Moses, "Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, 'This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!'"

"'Now therefore, let Me alone, that My wrath may burn hot against them AND I MAY CONSUME THEM . . . '" (Exodus 32:7-8, 10, NKJV)

God reserves the right to dictate how to worship him and the symbols and ceremonies man uses to honor Him. God does not like or approve of bunnies, eggs, sunrise services and alike used to serve or celebrate Him according to the biblical texts, IF you interprate that THIS is the true Orgins OF the "Easter HOLIDAY".

This concept would have you believe that the origin of Easter Sunday with its symbols are rooted in the worship of false gods. Those who celebrate it and consider themselves believers in the God of the Bible need to take a prayerful look at their observance of the holiday, and, EXPLORE MORE facts and truths which ARE to be had, even according to their already Incomplete "Holy Bibles"... one example, which is where we find some much needed TRUTH regarding this subject, is found in the "Scrolls from the Sea of the Dead", as so stated IN their "Holy Bibles", but the source we will use here, is from our ministries Spiritual Inspiration... the Canon of Jack Herer, as I believe they are moreboth Approperiate as well as Beneficial, and we can go from there to confirm it.

How did a Feast of LAMB Meat turn into the Chocolate Eggs of Easter BUNNIES Today?

Peter the Great made this fabroshe egg for the last Tsar of Russia.

Now, as Many of you likely know, Jack spent his life being what was best described as a "Freedom Fighting Warrior Activist". Jack was a Proud American, and he stood up and defended that which he thought was Right and Just, things in accordinance with great Creators plan and instructions.

From the legendary American "Summer of 69", Jack became a Cannabis defender, which had been Contrary to his Previous feelings, beliefs and personal concepts. He is noted and renown as "Thee Man", who single-handedly Created and Foundationally Formed, what is known as "The Modern Day Cannabis Movement", whose goal is Simply to Completely LIBERATE the Cannabis Plant, most very Sacramental of ALL the Biblical HERBS, from Any & All LEGAL Dictation, Regulation, or position to impose punishment or consequence on neither Plant NOR User, period, and who authored what is known as the "Cannabis" -aka- "Hemp Bible" to Prove and Justify that such liberation is not only Necessary, but Long, too long, overdue.

But we're not going to look at Jack in regards to his Cannabis Activism at the moment, eventhough it IS fittingly placed and appropriate within our ministries teachings as well of Course, No, I want to turn to poppa Jack, for his Knowledge on "Easter" and what it REALLY Traditionally was all about... to HIS PEOPLE... the JEWISH people, but more Specifically, to HIS Tribe of Jewish people, which are the "PRIEST LINES of LIVITICUS"!

When we turn to the texts of the canon (or Book) he had for Well over 20 Years of his life Devotedly Researched from Every possible angle and Disposition, the unpublished work in Fact that he was KILLED to prevent ever reaching the human Mind or Ear... ESPECIALLY we who he loves more than his own Children... THIS is where we will learn a great many truths and facts from such a blessed source, and THEN, we we look and explore Elsewhere in-so-far as to be able to Confirm or Deny his teachings, wisdom and knowledge.

The First and Foremost thing I believe there is to Emphasize in Jack's teaching, is that, by him being of the bloodline of Leviticus the Priest, Jack inherited what is documented as being "Sacred Knowledge" that ONLY Leviticus descendants were EVER to be taught or have made known... out of all 12 of Creators Hebrew of Jewish Lineage. Jack states, that, by him having been born in America, rather than in Israel, he didn't get to Practition SOME things traditionally as he would have been Required to had he been being raised in the actual Native land of his people, and that what WE know as "Easter" is in fact one of those Traditions he Lacked by having been raised her rather than there - BUT, he DOES however, Know and Declare to know EXACTLY what it IS and how it is to be done.

Of course, beings this is knowledge and wisdom pertaining and entrusted specifically To ONLY the lines of Leviticus, this is Sacred Knowledge that Jack is ONLY allowed by Jewish law and tradition, to teach and pass on to his Children. Jack's Dilemma with this is, that though he did in fact have 5 and claim 6 children Biologically as his own... None of them were willing to stray from their rearing within religion, which was American Christian, inherited and taught from their "Gentile Mothers" - as he said not only did they close their minds, but outwardly Denounced the knowledge HE was SUPPOSED to be teaching them as LIVITICUS descendants!

"If we were in Israel, 1 out of 1,000 Jewish people, which Is Our bloodline alone out of All the tribes, would know, have, and be taught the things I'm trying to teach my children, but they think I'm Crazy and don't want anything to do with me, including Hear it, so, I am Adopting MY PEOPLE, even the ones I haven't met yet, and I'm going to teach You as if your my Own children and YOU HAVE the blood of Leviticus pulsing thru Your Veins... I just hope that the Jews don't kill me for it, they might not agree that my adopting you gentiles is Quite the same thing, which breaks Jewish law, technically speaking" he said with a chuckle, when he handed and entrusted ME to protect and keep safe from the world, and only share and make it be known to You, if he was murdered before he himself Could... and since that's happened... you WILL be learning HIS Teachings here within the Soldiers of Jah Ministries.

Knowing that NOW is the Time to Educate the masses necessary to give us the ability to commune and connect with great Creator, yet his own Children, whom he needed and Hoped would be "Teachers of God's Ways", only willing to Laugh at and Constantly Rebutting him Every Time he'd TRY, Jack was faced with one final option, which is Questionable to many, but the only hope of accomplishing our "Most High's" goal, which is unification with We ALL His & God's People to and With our "Most High Creator" as Jack refers to, yet most of You call "God". Jack believed that Since it was sincere in his HEART, his love for Both God and for we His People, that the Only thing he had left that he could Do to fufill HIS Expectation as being of the "Priest Lines", is to what Jack Declared "Adopt" each of us to be his Own, to entrust Us with the ways and facts of His wisdom as HiS Children... and to Utilize i he Knowledge to gain True Communion with and for Great Creators will, not to mention our own sake and the sakes of our ancestors.

Jack's accounting of what We know as the "Easter" holiday, is similar as to all you have heard above thus far, of course his accounting goes back Before the above "Pagan" claim of "adaptation" by "Gentiles"; Jack's teachings take us back to the times of Leviticus and His teachings themselves, and Will prove to be most accurate by even sources other than his own canon, including by the Scrolls and Scribes found as prophesized by the bible itself as containing "Hidden Wisdom" that would NOT be "revealed until it's proper time", which came to pass in the mid 1940's, when what we know as "The Dead Sea Scrolls" were discovered.

The way, in short, that Jack himself described the facts of "Easter" to myself Directly, was he began by pointing out that "Easter" comes every "Spring". Spring is the universal symbol of Birth/re-birth as All of nature begins to re-awaken and come alive, hungry to grow and to live. Jack points out that the "Resurrection" fits accordingly in that symbolism, as Christians note Christ's Resurrection as being that which gives them Hope for a Glorious eternal life, that their Faith In Christ's successful ascension, guarantee's their ability to follow him into great Creators Glorious Heaven as one of his own, though NOT actually Having the physical blood of his Jewish people.

Jack continued on by pointing out that the teachings of the Jewish people have always been "Closed", even the language considered "Dead" to Non-Jewish people, AND that the Only way ANY of it had Gotten outside the Jewish Tribes, was by the acts of Eavesdroppers, or "Cowan's" as the were called - that Basically it was STOLEN From the Jewish people, and that since the Jews were Always a Paranoid people that something like that would one day Happen, that they HID the knowledge in CODES, and they used Symbols to Further hide their wisdom and instruction given them by great Creator.

Basically in short, what is Known by Non-Jewish people, was Stolen From Jewish people, and during the course of this transpiring, much of it was Lost, hidden, discarded and out-right Destroyed by those obtaining it that deemed it to be unimportant, mostly because they wern't Understanding it or how it Fit into the "Religion" they were aiming to make out of it. Looking in the Front of your bibles, you will find the phrase "Revised", meaning Changed and or Altered. Of course they only account for altering the texts Since the alteration done by King James, which the text had been altered Many Times since then, but here nor there, it Proves that the "only book you'll Ever Need" according to Christians, referencing to their "Holy Bible" is in fact Incomplete text, which great Creator instructed himself to NOT do to HIS WORK!

Comprehending all of that, Jack then went on to explain that out of all the 13 tribes of great Creators chosen people, that Only the Leviticus lines, the "Priests", were entrusted "Sacred Knowledge" by great Creator, including the "Hidden Manna", which is the "Breads of Heaven".

You might Wonder what the "Hidden Manna" has to do with the "Resurrection" or our topic "Easter" , but hold on, because I Promise that it all fits Perfectly together according to the teaching Jack is about to have me share with you!

Jack explained that the trees most common in Israel, as far as confer trees, are actually , not "Lebanon Cedars" as noted before - botany tests have revealed and Confirmed that the trees Called Lebanon Cedars for a Fact trees. Jack says it is Significant to know that, or the rest of his teachings will be Very Confusing to you, as the "Hidden Manna" grows under trees NOT Cedars!

Which brings us back to topic... "Easter".

Jack explains that spring Is in fact the Symbol of the "Resurrection", of "Christ Arising and ascending unto the heavens", and that it IS in fact a true time of celebrating the communion amist the Jewish people and great Creator. BUT, as Jack explains and Emphasized , it's a Symbolism... spring and the rising of our connection ability with great Creator, which has Always been the Root of a holiday type celebration during such time. However, Jack would chuckle and explain that what we have today in such a holiday, is a Mis-Understanding of stolen knowledge and ignorance in the symbolism within then Intentionally Twisted into something Justifable that keeps themselves Free of Blame and accountability.

Jack's teachings Explain to us that the Symbolisms found in today's "Easter" are in fact Relevant To the teachings by God to the chosen Liviticus people... brightly colored eggs, egg hunting and the use of baskets, even sweet rewards such as candy in exchange for the hard boiled eggs themselves given them by the adults for exchange... Jack says all of this is "Close to Right", but that the actual Substance or placebo itself is Not right, thereby making the Whole thing seem somehow a Wrong or Un-God-Related celebration.

Jack explains that the "Brightly colored Eggs" as we know them, are in fact, "The Hidden Manna", meaning and referencing To "The Bread of the Heavens" and "Food of the Gods" as so stated within the "Holy Bible", but that they are NOT Literal "Eggs" like one would expect to Find under a Chicken!

The True Manna, specifically the "Flesh of Christ" is in all actuality the Amanita Mascara Mushroom, which grow under the trees, pops up from the ground "Without being from Seed" in the shape of an Egg, Brightly colored,mainly bright Red with White speckles on their caps, but some Yellow with the white on their cap as well.

Jack says that the Leviticus tribe were the ONLY ONES Entrusted with the knowledge of the True Manna Substance, and that there tribe alone Knew and were taught the Proper way of collection and utilization Of them.

Jack says that during spring (right about the time of "Easter"), as mother earth begins to reawaken and sprout up all her gifts, that under the trees the mushrooms begin to emerge. This marked the time of the "Manna Hunt", already similar to "Easter Hunt", notice that!

He said that the tribe would instruct the children to venture out and explore or seek out ("Hunt") for the emerging "egg" Shaped brightly colored Mushrooms" BUT, that they were instructed NEVER to Touch them! Instead he said, they were to go find an adult, who would then "Pick them up and put them into a Basket" and would reward the child with something appeasing to them in exchange for each egg found, much like we still do with chocolate eggs for kids today.

After that, Jack said, the adults would return to their people, and prepare the mushrooms for sacramental communion to be distributed throughout ALL the Tribes of great Creator's people, in which they were to eat "Daily as food".

Now I KNOW, that information such as This is likely able to Scare the CRAP out of You, especially if you've been thus far raised up in the traditions of "Organized religion" and their beliefs, that substances that "intoxicate" are Fornificaiya, - but realistically when you look to the bible for a list of Plant type species that are noted in the bible, you quickly notice that Most ARE in fact, to some degree "Intoxicating", not just the places where it notes people being "Drunk" with wine or "intoxication".

Because the "True Manna", meaning the "Hidden Manna" which is the "Bread" and "Food" of the "Gods" an "Heavens" Is such a "Shocking Realization" and scary issue to Most "Christians" indoctrinations, Soldiers of Jah Ministries feel It would better be taught in a topic of itself, but, looking at All the Variations explored thus far, it's safe to declare that Jack's knowledge seems best Fitting, even if it takes you overlooking the substance of the "Manna" itself being that something "intoxicating might be a scary thing for you" - it DOES make more since if we're talking Communing with our Most High Creator than do chocolate eggs pooped by a Rabbit, foil-wrapped or not, and even if it Was once a Bird turned bunny!

Children today, are not taught Any of these "trivial details", in fact IF they are taught Anything about the celebration Reason at all, it's that it's the day we celebrate Christ rising from the dead and going to heaven.

And even though this has Nothing to do with bunnies, eggs nor baskets, children seem to haven't Any Questions as to why, likely because they are afraid of rocking the boat and losing what sticks out about the whole event to Them, which is hunting for eggs, trying to find more than the next kids, and eating mass candy without getting into trouble for it.

The baskets and bunny aspects if Anything, even for them are mere show, which is also why their dressed up Extra Fancy on this day, and little ones are crowned with beautiful bonnets on thee little heads... it's what you DO on "Easter", dress up, go to your local church and do the stand up, sit down, sing, pray and pay thing, then scurry outside and prepare for the Hunt for sweet treats, and God Forbid ANYONE would consider taking ANY of that "Childhood Treasured Memories" away from them, because doing so would be MEAN and Depriving to them for Anyone to do or so much as consider!

Realistically, if the children were taught Jack's Symbolism as being what their fun represented, it Would likely make more since to them in the Long Run, and also down the road make them feel less Lied to and or deceived.

Also too, if they were taught the Sacredness of the ritual, they would grow up, not only understanding proper communion with great Creator, but would also appreciate the maturity required for it, and would less likely be out among their peers being misled and improperly using it because they would Know what it was for and the Importance of it being used in proper context.

But Until then...
