Valentine’s Day didn’t begin as a sweet, innocent celebration of romance. It grew out of the pagan Lupercalia—a spring fertility rite of whips, lotteries, and lust—later given a “Christian” label. As believers, we’re called to leave such man-made customs and walk in Yahweh’s set-apart ways.  Read More

When Julius Caesar fixed January 1 as New Year’s Day in honor of the two-faced god Janus, he tied the world’s calendar to pagan worship. Scripture, however, begins the year in Abib with green barley and the new moon, not with Rome’s civil, deity-based system.  Read More

A peculiar fact jumps out immediately. In a careful examination of the entire Bible we discover that the word “Easter” exists in only one verse: Acts 12:4. In the King James Version it reads, “…intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.”  Read More

You’ll be more amazed at how Christmas rites are so very like those in ancient Babylon. Some practices may have changed cosmetically through the years as they left Babylon and diffused through the Mithraic cults and into northern Europe, but the essence still shines through.  Read More

Rooted in Druidic demon worship over 2,000 years old, Halloween still casts its noxious spell on modern society. Disguised as “harmless fun,” it glorifies witches, death, and darkness—customs Yahweh condemns—while conditioning both children and adults to celebrate what He calls an abomination.  Read More

This article digs into the real roots of Christmas—Babylon, Saturnalia, and Mithra—not the Bible. It shows why December 25, Santa, trees, and gift-mania clash with Scripture, argues that Yahshua wasn’t born then, and urges believers to reject pagan-based traditions and follow Yahweh’s commanded Feasts instead.  Read More

This article uses Tel Dan and Jeroboam’s golden calves as a living object lesson on compromise in worship. It traces how Solomon, Jeroboam, Nadab and Abihu, Ahab’s prophets, and modern church systems all corrupt Yahweh’s commands—contrasted with Elijah and Joshua’s uncompromising loyalty—and urges believers today to reject man-made worship, guard leadership standards, and serve Yahweh exactly as He commands.  Read More

Easter’s eggs, bunnies, and sunrise services trace back to ancient fertility rites and sun worship, not to Yahshua’s resurrection or any biblical command. Rather than mixing Truth with pagan custom, we’re called to leave man-made traditions and honor Yahweh through His Passover and Feast days.  Read More

Christmas dresses ancient sun worship in a thin Christian disguise. From Saturnalia revelry to evergreen tree symbols, its roots run to Babylon, not Bethlehem. Scripture never commands a Nativity festival, but it does command Yahweh’s own Feasts—His true holy days for worship in the Kingdom.  Read More

Hanukkah may look warm and spiritual, but history shows it’s a late, man-made tradition with roots, legends, and customs that echo Christmas more than Scripture. Rather than chasing imitation “lights,” believers are called to the seven Feasts Yahweh Himself ordained—past, present, and future—for His covenant people.  Read More

Christmas isn’t a cozy Bible story; it’s a patchwork of Saturnalia, Mithra, sun-worship, and myths about trees and Santa that never appear in Scripture. Discover why Yahshua wasn’t born December 25—and why those who love Him should leave man-made holidays for Yahweh’s holy days.  Read More

Yahweh’s Feast days reveal His salvation plan in a way man-made holidays never can. Beginning with Passover’s forgiveness, through Unleavened Bread’s removal of sin and Pentecost’s gift of the Spirit, they chart our journey from the world’s ways into true, obedient covenant life with Him.  Read More

Scripture never commands Sunday observance or Christmas, but commands Yahweh’s Sabbaths and Feasts for Israel and all nations, in the coming Kingdom. His appointed times reveal His salvation plan, separate true worship from man-made traditions, and determine future blessings, reward, protection, judgment, and eternal destiny.  Read More

Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication, is an extra-biblical Jewish festival rooted in the Maccabean rededication of the Temple and linked with winter-solstice customs. With Christmas-like traditions and no scriptural command, it contrasts with Yahweh’s seven appointed Feasts, which are covenant observances kept by Yahshua and remain binding for true worshipers.  Read More
