Easter Sunday is the day chosen to be the day Jesus was resurrected from the dead. Supposedly He was crucified the Friday before His resurrection. Easter is suppose to be all about Jesus, but where the bunny and the eggs came in I’m not sure. I suppose I was almost grown before I thought of Easter being anything but colored eggs, and hiding them in the grass for children to find. I have to admit I still love to think that way, although I do take a special time to worship Jesus for His gift of forgiveness by being crucified on that cruel cross. How blessed we are today to be able to join in fellowship with relatives and friends, and celebrate the life, and death of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It’s nice to try and remember the first Easter egg hunt we ever went on. There were many for me, because I loved to run and try to gather more eggs than anybody else. I didn’t feel embarrassed about the challenge till way past the expected time. Like I said before I still have some of that childish activity in me. I still remember so well the many times I stood by my mother while she boiled, then colored a lot of eggs. My mother was a jewel of all precious stones, and her name, Opal Jewel, fit her perfectly. We will be celebrating her 103rd birthday in a few days, May 4th even though she won’t be with us.
As we all realize at this time that a religious war is going on between Christians and non-Christians. I don’t believe anyone ever guessed the severity of this bible prophesy until now when it has branched out all over the world. And according to my interpretation of the bible we haven’t seen anything yet. The worse is still to come. The bible speaks of blood standing up to the horses bridles. Revelations 14:20. That would be an average of four feet deep. Everyone has a different opinion of what this means, but I believe it is actually true in some places of the world. The killing of a human being will no longer be seen as a crime, but an honor to God. To the Christian this is a false teaching. The martyr will join millions who have gone before them, and lie in wait till all prophesies are fulfilled. Here is my bible reference of this.
Revelations 6:9. When John saw the Lamb open the fifth seal in heaven he saw the martyrs’ lying under an alter. Ch 10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, how long, O Lord, holy and true, doest thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on earth? 11. And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
I have painted a picture on canvas of this sixth chapter of revelations. If you are acquainted with how to pull up my blogspot.com you can find this painting. It’s probably been three or four years ago. I felt inspired to paint this revelation as John saw it with his own eyes.
Now we are seeing more of these things coming to pass every day. No one should doubt God’s Holy Word.
God Bless
