RE: Life & Death Haikus: Use This Day To Praise The Lord (Original Poem)
Dear @verbal-d,
If you go to Acts 12:4 using the Strong's Concordance you will see that the Greek word "pascha" was intentionally mistranslated as "Easter" in the King James.
3957 [e] pascha πάσχα Passover
The institution of Easter as a religious observance by Christians happened at least two centuries after King Herod wanted to deliver Peter to the Jews to be killed.
As a Jewish believer in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Son of God and Messiah (Christ), I am sharing my understanding of the natural and spiritual fulfillments that are foreshadowed in the Festivals of Yehovah in a series of posts.
I think that you will find the following post enlightening:
HOW WAS JESUS ABLE TO CELEBRATE PASSOVER AND YET BE CRUCIFIED ON PASSOVER?

I'll give this a read when I get the chance thank you for reading and providing some research for me. I know already of the pascha translation but it is my belief that it was not a mistranslation when I take into consideration of the context of the biblical verses. Easter could not have meant Passover if the previous verses in Acts 12:1-3 clarify that the days of unleavened bread were occuring because Passover "pascha" would have come Before the passover and Easter as stated in Acts 12:4 clearly comes after the days of Unleavened Bread. I shall check your article soon.
Dear Blessed Brother-in-Yeshua,
You are correct that the passage needs to be read in context.
Understand that the translators of the King James Bible had strong political influences on them.
The following is a quote from the "Preface" of the Authorized Version (authorized by King James):
GREAT and manifold were the blessings, most dread Sovereign, which Almighty God, the Father of all mercies, bestowed upon us the people of England, when first he sent Your Majesty's Royal Person to rule and reign over us.
That is why Yaacov (Jacob), the 1/2 brother of Yeshua (Jesus) is called JAMES in the King James Version of the Bible - to flatter the king.
King James favored the hierarchical structure of the Church of England and wanted the new translation to keep words that supported a bishop-led hierarchy. In keeping with James’ preferred views on church government and church tradition.
Very interesting, I'll have to read up on this and pray to God on this issue. Thanks for letting me know of this perspective. I never heard of this before. God indeed shall reveal all to us. Too much confusion and misdirection in this world. Let us lean on Him in our times of unknowing. God bless you brother
