God has never endorsed man's pagan Easter (Ishtar) service in His Word... and its religious importance to men, claiming to be Christian is lost on Him.
The story of Israel's deliverance from death (by the Lamb's blood) and further bondage to Egypt (sin) is important to all mankind, however. Following their escape from Egypt (sin)... the pillars of the cloud by day and fire by night (Jesus Christ - I Cor.10:1-4) kept Pharaoh (Satan) and his army (demons) away from them, The cloud that followed them protected them and prevented Pharaoh (Satan) from capturing them and bringing them back into slavery to Egypt (sin).
The story of Israel's exodus from Egypt (sin) is important to all mankind, because at the end of their flight from Egypt (sin)... their backs were to the wall (the Red Sea; death) and all seemed lost. It seemed that Pharaoh's army (Satan and his demons) would win in the end. But the Red Sea parted... and the Israelites were delivered:
"...Fear ye not, stand still, and see the SALVATION OF THE LORD, which He will shew to you to day..." (Ex.14:13).
Pharaoh's army (Satan and his demons) and their threat disappeared as they passed through death to salvation on the other side.
Israel's exodus... deliverance... from Egypt (sin) is important to all mankind, because it reveals the salvation of Jesus Christ (the Almighty Creator God of the Old Testament - John 1:3) to the world... not through "Easter," the pagan goddess of feritility... but through God's commanded Holy Days, the Passover, which God does endorse for man to observe.
"...for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast..." (I Cor.5:7-8).

∙ 8y agoThe story of the Exodus has applicability to a variety of people who have experienced stern oppression that eventually gave way to freedom because of those people rising up and peaceably asserting their rights. In the Jewish context, it becomes the unifying feature of their identity: they all left bondage together to embark on the journey where they began to experience revelation. In the African-American context, it represents freedom from enslavement in the South of the United States and the perseverance of the African-American heart and spirit despite oppression.
