In my spiritual growth, one of the classic sermons ever
given, was delivered by Pastor Manley on Easter Sunday at Kenansville First
Baptist Church when he asked the congregation, "What does the Easter Bunny
have to do with the RE-SURRECTION OF THE LORD?"
So, today, I will try to answer that question, because
Christianity, even though, it may not be known, was formulated and composed of
many ancient pagan rites and beliefs, which the Biblical writers collected and
compiled in one book.
As always, remember, the Bible should not be read literally
but symbolically. Hence, the one-called Christ said in Matt (13:13-15)
"Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they
seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand...For
this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and
their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be
converted, and I should heal them."
So, let's begin with the RABBIT, which symbolically,
represents sacrifice, redemption, RESURRECTION, and fertility because a mother
rabbit can produce up to 40 babies in a year, which is equivalent to a human
fetus-that is developed in 7 months, the gestation of both women & cows,
which takes 280 days or 10/28 months or moon cycles. This is the hidden meaning
behind the Swastika, which was hijacked by the Nazis.
The number 40, of course, has a mathematical significance(as THE SQUARE & THE CROSS) within Masonic legend as well as the "hidden" name of YHWH, within the Jewish mythos.
Most ancient people, however, viewed the #40 with periods of
temptation, trials, hardship, and pain, for 40 days, weeks, or years.
For example, we have 40 days and nights of the Deluge, 40
years of wandering in the wilderness by the Isis-Ra-elites, 40 days and 40
nights of fasting by Moses on Mt. Sinai, 40 days and nights of fasting by
Christ, and 40 days between the RESURRECTION OF CHRIST and his final
disappearance from the earth. (Acts 1:3)
Astrologically, the ancient Mayans viewed the nocturnal
creature, who lives underground, DISAPPEARANCE AND REAPPEANCE Christlike, as if
it has RESURRECTED from the DEAD, as a reflection of the moon's 28-day cycle,
which is divided into two 14 changing phases, known as the waxing and the
waning, which represents the three 14 generations from Abraham to David, from
David to the exile, and from the exile to Jesus. (Matt 1:7) This is associated
with the Greek story of Kronos tearing Uranus into 14 parts and the Egyptian
myth of Osiris "The Lord of the Perfect Black," who was dismembered
into 14 pieces during his burial before being resurrected, which appears in the
Death of Lazarus along with his sisters Mary and Martha. (John 11:1-44)
Understand, even in ancient KMt, (Egypt,) the "land of
the blacks," on the walls, the hieroglyphs or METu Neter, Osiris, was
pictured as Wn (a jack-rabbit, or HARE meaning "the perfect being,"
who was known for his cleverness to escape predators.
Not surprisingly, within the Hindu culture, the Rabbit, or
TheGreat Hare, is sacred as the COW, and associated with the Moon,
Soma/Chand-RA, (the wine or vinegar of Gods, who grants immortality, and is
considered "the giver of life as well as the overseer of the afterlife."
Hence, the teachings of the Hare Krishna movement, derived
from ancient Hindu scriptures, especially the Srinad-Bhagavatum and the
Bhagavadgita, who believe Krishna (an avatar of Vishnu) is the Supreme Lord and
humans are eternal spiritual beings trapped in a cycle of reincarnation, where
karma govern their lives.
This sacred symbolism of the Hare, which means "RULER,
leader, commander" is also reflected in the term "Rabbit,"
itself, which is very similar to the word rabbi, a Jewish doctor of religious
law.
Thus, we have the infamous cartoon character "Bugs
Bunny," the trickster or joker, which is based on Brer Rabbit, a trickster
figure originating in African folklore and transmitted by African slaves to the
New World.
Of course, Walt Disney, stole this African concept and
introduced its Briar Rabbit and the Tar Baby cartoon with its racist image of
Uncle Remus alongside the wisecracking Bugs Bunny, who was known for saying
"WHAT'S UP DOC? The term DOC/DOCK also means, a structure extending
alongshore or out from the shore into a body of water, to which boats may be
(MOORED)...This is why some, who called themselves Moors...utilized the term
BEY. Hence, the classic song sitting on the DOCK OF THE BAY by Otis Redding.
This, of course, scripturally, is made evident in (Matt
23:8-9.) So, who is the True "Hare, or Harry, or RuLer or Rabbit, or
Rabbi)
But, guess, which discipline, called Christ Rabbi...?
As you think about it, Bugs Bunny continues to bounce about,
like a jack-rabbit, which is also associated with the SACRED COW, known as
HA-THOR, or Isis in the Egyptian pantheon, who jumped over the Moon. This myth,
however, is taught in a song-along to children as "Here comes Peter cotton
tale hopping along the Bunny Trail-Hippity, Hoppity, Easter is on its
way." (Peter, of course, refers to one of Christ's 12 disciples named the
Simon (whom he named Peter) (the Rock,) which the church was allegedly built
(Matth 16:13-20.) (Triple fold meaning)
Therefore, the Easter celebration is associated with Esther,
Ishtar, Isis, the Eastern Star or Venus
along with the Red Heifer, within the Jewish folklore, which represents the
beginning of Spring, the fertility goddess, THE GREAT BLACK MOTHER OF THE
UNIVERSE-the goddess of childbirth, known as Ma-Ma, MH, MAH, denoting two
females, supernal mother and inferior mother, which as Masonic significance to
those learned men & women. Because, they are known as Martha and Mary (Luke
10:38-42) and Mary Magdalene and mother Mary (John 19:25), who gave birth to
The Son of Man, "the light of the world"(John 8:12), or the
"Dawn of the Light" during the so-called Jewish Passover-that is
connected to the vernal equinox, occurring on March (MAR-ARCH) 20-21st, known
as the "Reckoning of Time," which is considered Daylight Saving
Time-that began on Sunday, March 14, 2023 at 2:00 A.M, where on Saturday night,
one set their clocks FOR-WARD one hour (i.e., losing one hour) to “spring
ahead.
This "Reckoning of Time" (Daniel 12:7) completes
the cycle of the 4 seasons (SEE-SUNS.)
The four seasons of Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring, known as the four cardinal points of N.orth E.ast W.est and S.outh, is an acronym for the NEWS, which is based on diurnal sunlight, more, accurately, by the bi-annual, occurrence, of the solstices, allegory (solar) seasonal cycle.
Hence, the 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, were
books written in order to spread THE GOOD NEWS (North, East, West and South) of
Jesus Christ/The Son of Man.
With that understanding, most mathematicians and astronomers
have stated that all planets in our Solar systems and most moons move along an
OVAL SHAPE like an EGG along an elliptical orbit, a very long, thin round
-circle, almost like a zero.
Hence, within the celebration of EASTER, you have EASTER
EGGS, which are OVAL IN SHAPE. For the
Sun is at the focus of the ellipse.
Therefore, surprisingly, when you crack an unboiled egg, you
actually discover the image of the SUN, itself....(Sunny Side
