My Note: Worship the sun toward the east Ref. Scripture: Ezekiel 8:16
Why do we Christians worship the sun on easter morning?
Scripture: Ezekiel 8:1
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth
day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before
me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
2 Then I beheld, and lo
a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins
even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance
of brightness, as the colour of amber.
3 And he put forth the
form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted
me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of
God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the
north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to
jealousy.
4 And, behold, the glory
of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the
plain.
5 Then said he unto
me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So
I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at
the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
6 He said furthermore
unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they
do? even the great abominations that the
house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary?
but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
7 And he brought me
to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
8 Then said he unto
me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall,
behold a door.
9 And he said unto
me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
10 So I went in and
saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and
all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
11 And there stood before
them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst
of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in
his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
12 Then said he unto me,
Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do
in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The
LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
13 He said also unto
me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they
do.
14 Then he brought
me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north;
and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
15 Then said he unto
me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt
see greater abominations than these.
Ezekiel 8:16 And he brought
me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of
the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five
and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their
faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
17 Then he said unto me,
Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of
Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they
have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to
anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
18 Therefore will I also
deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though
they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
Commentary: Since Paul told us in 1 Corinthians 10:11 that all those things that happened to the Israelites happened as physical examples of spiritual thing we will experience in these end times, do you think he may be condemning our Easter Sunday sun rise services.
After
all Jesus arose on Saturday; why do we worship the sun rising on Sunday?
John
20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when
it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away
from the sepulchre.
He
had been gone since the previous afternoon?
