THE YEARS WHEN
EASTER
OCCURS ON A
WILDLYEARLIER DATE THAN
THE PASSOVER
EASTER DOES NOTALWAYS FOLLOW THE PASSOVER !
Matthew 15:9 - "But in vain they do worship me,
teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men."
In every century...
since the original institution of Passover,
which was back during the time of Israel’s Exodus from out of Egypt,
Easter has often occurred on a wildlyearlier date than The Passover.
And, in the year of Christ Jesus’ crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection, Easter occurred on a wildlyearlier date than Passover.
In that year, a capricious Easter was already past - 25 days before Christ Jesus was crucified on Passover!
Easter does not qualify as a potential representative day of Christ Jesus’ resurrection!

SOWHAT ?
So, if Easter, in late March, really was the day of Christ Jesus’ resurrection 2,000-years-ago, how could
He come out of the grave 25 days before His crucifixion, death and burial on Passover in late
April?
Just because Easter does fall on the Sunday following Passover in most years is utterly
meaningless since Easter does NOTALWAYS occur on that all-important, self-same Sunday. Easter
occurs a month BEFORE the actual, historic resurrection day about 20% of the time.
If pagan Easter really was the authentic Christian celebration of the resurrection of Christ Jesus,
Easter would ALWAYS occur on the correct Sunday - the first Sunday following The Passover.
And since, 2,000-years-ago, Christ Jesus was not resurrected on an Easter, the 5,000-years-old,
pagan, heathen, springtime fertility festival is thoroughly discredited.
Easter has no authentic
Christian significance at all. But just try to tell that to the countless millions of Christian
faithful who have been taught from birth that every Easter reallyis! the resurrection day.
Even the various Orthodox Christian denominations hold their Pascha (Easter) celebration a week
LATER than the first Sunday following The Passover because they calculate that date using the
outmoded Julian calendar. About 80% of the time, Orthodox Christianity observes the resurrection of
Christ Jesus a week LATER than the actual, historic resurrection day.
Interestingly, whenever the Roman Catholic-based Easter is on the Biblically correct Sunday,
the Orthodox Christian Pascha (Easter) is a week later. And vise-versa, whenever the Roman
Catholic-based Easter is a month before the Biblically correct Sunday, the Orthodox Christian
Pascha (Easter) is on the Biblically correct Sunday.
Should one think that Christian theologians and scholars would take notice if a capricious Easter ever
once preceded Passover in the last 2,000 years?
Yes! But, alas, no alarm has been raised... Even though a capricious Easter has preceded
Passover morethan400times since the resurrection of Christ Jesus, and
over750times since the first institution of Passover in Moses’ day.
The most recent occurrences were in 1986, 1989, 1997 and 2005.
The next occurrences will be in 2008, and 2016.
Coming up soon, in 2008, a capricious Easter will occur 27 days before Passover.

THINK ABOUT IT !
Were YOU one of those many millions of Christians who, in the last 40 years, celebrated
each and every Easter as the resurrection day of Christ Jesus when, in 8 of
those past 40 years, a capricious Easter occurred a month BEFORE His crucifixion day on Passover?
It is an undisputable and well-known fact among Christians that the crucifixion of
Christ Jesus, His death and burial, was on a Passover daytime period. A Biblical
fact documented so very well that it is neither an item for debate nor even for doubt.
It is merely “believed” among Christians that Christ Jesus arose from the
dead on an Easter. A "belief" that is not documented or supported anywhere in the original
Greek texts of the Bible (The “Autograph” texts).
This mere “belief” about an Easter resurrection is false! It is nothing more than a
highly subjective, highly doubtful, highly debatable objectofFAITH with no basis in
Biblical fact.
The Moslems (Muslims), the Hindus, the
Buddhists, and many other non-Christians have very impressive, strong FAITH. If not for the
strength of FAITH of its piously devout and faithful adherents, even the Roman Catholic religion would
have long ago fallen on its face and would have ceased to be an influence on Christianity.
Strong
FAITH is somewhat admirable. But even exceedingly strong FAITH will not bring one Salvation
when that FAITH is in ancient traditions composed from un-biblical myths, legends, folklore,
fantasies, fables or lies.
Why do Christians, including theologians and scholars, ignore the fact that
EASTERISCAPRICIOUS?
ASK YOURSELF ?
How could Christ Jesus be resurrected from the dead on any Easter that occurs a month
before the day of His crucifixion, death and burial on Passover?
THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS...
Christ Jesus was resurrected on Easter at all !
HOW CAN THIS BE ?
The following chart lists both the recent and the future years between CE 1975 and 2024, when a
capricious Easter has occurred, and will occur, on a wildlyearlier date than Passover...
25 times in the past 125 years and 3 more times in the next 16 years.
And, a second chart shows the years between CE 26 and 34, when a capricious Easter often occurred on a

NOW, CONSIDER THIS:
The most likely year for the crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus is CE 31.
Since it is generally recognized and accepted among non-Roman Catholic Christian
scholars and theologians that Christ Jesus was born in early Fall of the year BCE 4; and that He was
reputed to be about 30 years old when He was baptized, by John-The-Baptist,
in mid-September of the year CE
28 (At the very beginning of the 15th year of
Emperor Tiberius)...
....His crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection occurred
in early Spring of the year CE 31.
There are 33½ years between early Fall, BCE 4; and early Spring, CE 31.
ADDITIONALLY: The Hebrews of Christ Jesus' day kept time by counting their days and
dates from sunset -to- sunset (from dusk -to- dusk), but Middle Eastern, pagan, heathen Gentiles (who had
originated and still celebrated Easter) kept time by counting their days and dates from sunrise -to- sunrise
(from dawn -to- dawn).
The Middle Eastern, pagan, heathen Gentiles began this sunrise (dawn) timekeeping practice in ancient
Babylon, c. 4,000 BCE, as a central feature of their sun-worship-based religion. And that
explains the supreme importance of Easter Sunday sunrise religious and worship services, which
have been in existence since Easter was first instituted more than 5,000 years ago.
The Hebrews do not celebrate pagan Easter, and...
Easter does not begin when a Hebrew's Sunday begins, and...
Since a Hebrew's Sunday begins at a time that we (today) call 6 -or- 7pm,
on what we call Saturday night, and...
Since Christ Jesus was resurrected very early on a Hebrew's
Sunday, at a time-of-day pagan, heathen Gentiles (of His day) referred to as Saturday night...
Christ Jesus was resurrected on any Easter at all,
no matter which year is the correct year for His Crucifixion.
CONCLUSION AND CLOSING CHALLENGE
The above chart shows that if it is true that Christ Jesus actually was crucified, dead, buried and
resurrected in the year CE 31, He absolutely was NOT resurrected on Easter!
A capricious, pagan, heathen Easter had already occurred 25 days BEFORE He was nailed to
His cross!
For, how could He be resurrected from death BEFORE He was crucified, dead and buried in the
grave?
But, it really does not matter which year the resurrection actually occurred, since (in
that day and age) Easter did not officially begin until sunrise (dawn),
12 hours after Christ Jesus' resurrection at sundown (dusk)...
on the evening before Easter!
Even if it is your personal belief (in opposition to Matt. 28:1) that Christ Jesus was resurrected
just before sunrise, He was still resurrected on a Gentile's Saturday, before Easter Sunday
officially began - AT sunrise!
The Answer Is:
Christ Jesus was resurrected on any Easter at all !

NOTE:
CONCERNING PENTECOST
There is only ONE authentic Pentecost, annually!
There is NOT a separate "Christian" Pentecost that is on a different date than that of the
God-established, Biblical Pentecost (Shavu'ot).
There is NOT a traditional "Christian" Pentecost on some different date, there is only a
false Pentecost on some different date.
Please do not neglect thinking about the fact that one must annually determine the correct Sunday
for Pentecost by counting 50 days
beginning on the “Resurrection Sunday” that follows The Passover...
....no matter when Easter is celebrated.
KEEP IN MIND
Pentecost (Shavu’ot) is one of the Hebrew’s three Annual High Sabbaths, one of three Hebrew High Holy Days, one
of the three "Pilgrimage" Sabbaths.
Pentecost is always 50 days from the Hebrew’s Feast of First Fruits!
And, First Fruits always falls on the Sunday following The Passover.
And, resurrection day was on the Sunday following The Passover.
And, crucifixion day was on The Passover!
Whenever Easter falls on a wildlyearlier date than The Passover, and whenever one
counts 50 days from a capricious Easter in order to determine the supposed day of Pentecost, one will
err by up to five weeks, and will completely miss (ignore) the genuinely authentic, God-ordained,
God-established Pentecost during that particular year.
Among Evangelical Christians, Charismatic Pentecostals are strongly focused on Pentecost and on the
spiritual events described in the Book of Acts, Ch. 2. Yet, in those years when Easter falls
on a wildlyearlier date than The Passover, Charismatic Pentecostals celebrate Holy
Communion on a false Pentecost date calculated from a capricious Easter, and completely ignore the true
Pentecost date calculated from the Sunday following The Passover.
In 1997, andagain in 2005, for example, Charismatic Pentecostals worldwide celebrated a
false Pentecost in May, rather than on the Biblically authentic Hebrew Pentecost (Shavu’ot) in June.
Pentecostals were just as oblivious to the true date for Pentecost as were the rest of the
Scripturally-clueless Christians who always calculate 50 days from a capricious Easter.
How could the Pentecostals be so Pentecost-challenged when they claim to be Pentecost-centric?
How could Pentecostals, ofallpeople,
celebrate Pentecost on a day that is
NOTPentecost?
On the WRONG day!
If Holy Spirit-filled, triple-anointed, tongue-talking, Charismatic Pentecostal, super-saints can be
deceived and deluded by a capricious Easter, so that they fail to correctly observe their signature
namesake Holy Day, can there ever be any hope for ordinary Christians?
Observant, scripturally astute Hebrews have absolutely no problem determining the correct Sunday
to celebrate the Hebrew Feast /
Festival of Shavu’ot (Pentecost). Observant Hebrews
are not burdened with the confusion or the delusion of pagan holidays like Easter.
Piously devout, observant Christians should take note of pagan Easter’s capricious nature, and should
learn to always count 50 days from the Sunday following The Passover in order to always be able to
determine the correct Sunday for Pentecost...
....no matter when Easter occurs !
And, Please, DO NOT Ever Forget:
Those persons familiar with ancient history are well aware that the pagan Spring fertility festival, now
called Easter, was in existence and was celebrated for thousands of years before the death of Christ
Jesus.
Easter existed even before the original institution of Passover,
some 3,500 years ago, around 1550 BCE.
Christ Jesus was NOT resurrected on an Easter! And, Easter has no connection to the
resurrection of Christ Jesus at all, except in the myths, fables and outright lies surrounding the pagan
origin, and supporting the heathen traditions, of Roman Catholicism.
For it is Roman Catholicism that is
responsible for combining its ancient paganistic, heathenistic, (5,000-years-old) powerless
religious rituals, worthless ceremonies, and suspect sacraments, along with its un-biblical holidays,
celebrations and spiritual practices, with the original (2,000-years-old) Apostolic form of Christianity.
The resulting "Religious" amalgam obscured authentic Christianity, and...
That combination explains "Mystery Babylon" by themixture of the profane with
the Divine.
The mystery IS the mixture !
A mixture that appears so religiously acceptable. A mixture that feels so religiously
comfortable. A mixture that seems so religiously right and correct. But, a mixture that is so
Biblically wrong as to be theologically scandalous from a strictly Scriptural perspective.
Theologically scandalous to the extreme!
It remains a theological scandal as long as Christian saints are deluded and oblivious to the religious
mixture of the profane with the Divine. And it also remains a theological scandal as long as Charismatic
Pentecostals are blinded and deceived as to the correct day (or date) of the Biblically authentic Pentecost during...

This author was first made aware of just how wildlyearly a capricious Easter can occur when,
in 1964, his father died at dawn on an Easter Sunday; on March, 29th.
Awareness of the theological problems posed by myriad differences between a wildlyearly
Easter and a much later Passover occurred in 1978. That is when this author first began to inquire of numerous
Christians of various denominations: "Just when was their congregation planning to observe Pentecost?"
That year was the beginning of this author’s appeal to church-going Christians to observe Pentecost on
the Biblically correct date. Not 50 days from a capricious Easter - but 50 days from the Sunday
following Passover, exactly like the Apostles did on the first Christian Pentecost, as recorded in Acts, Chapter 2.
Beginning very early in the spring of 1978, just before a capricious Easter, this author first began to
question the Christian practice of holding Holy Communion ceremonies on the Thursday evening before Easter
(The so-called "Maundy Thursday"), and again 50 days from Easter (The falsely imagined date for "Pentecost"),
during a year when Easter occurred a month before Passover.
This author, like a voice crying in the wilderness, has long been explaining that Christ Jesus was
crucified on a Passover and raised from His grave the following Sunday. And that even in the
year of His death and resurrection, a capricious Easter had already
occurred 25 days before His crucifixion on Passover.
Over the decades, since 1978, it has been a slow and difficult battle to get responsible religious
parties to listen and understand. To say that the dissemination of this information has been an uphill
struggle is to vastly understate the resistance this author has faced, for the mythical Sisyphus had it easy
by comparison.
At least Sisyphus was "On-A-Roll" !
It appears that precious few Christian individuals possess the scriptural (theological) background to
even consider the (relatively simple) calculations involved in determining the correct date for Pentecost - counting 50 days from the
Sunday FOLLOWING Passover.
Mostly, today's Christian leaders just do not care to "Rock-The-Boat" concerning a capricious Easter.
They fear the loss of congregants, the loss of tithes, and they are terrorized by the fear of stigmatization
as a religious nut-case, or as...
"The Grinch That Stole Easter"!
