Lent - The Weeping for Tammuz

On the 17Th of February was the beginning date this year of Lent. It goes for 40 days. I didn't remember when it started as I don't celebrate theses unholy holidays and wrong time of denying ones self.

Thought most people who celebrate the Holiday don't realize that Lent is mention in the Torah It is called by its Pagan name!

"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." Ezekiel - Chapter 8 verse 14.

This is not what Lent keepers want to hear, but wait their more with this offer.

Verse 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." So clearly Yahweh see it as an abomination to keep Lent. No matter what reason you might give.

It gets worse...verse 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."

Any one who worships on Sun-day as their Sabbath is worshiping in regards to the Sun god, there are a number of them throughout history. Pick your favorite one be my guest.

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15 (I love this verse!)

Yah's Blessings and Shalom!
