Happy Fathers Day — Warriors Of The Ruwach
Fathers day is yet another re packaged BaAL / sun worship day originated from Nimrod around 610 BC, then later carried on by the pagan SUN worshiper Constantine. Fathers Day always falls on the third SUNday of June in honor of the pagans most powerful ALuWaH the SUN, and this is due to the mandate that was laid down by Constantine when the pagan religion of Christianity was decreed on the people.
Father’s day is celebrated on different days throughout the world.
Origin in the U.S.:
On June 19, 1910, a Father’s Day celebration was held at the YMCA in Spokane, Washington by Sonora Smart Dodd. Her father, the civil war veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there. She was also a member of Old Centenary Presbyterian Church (now Knox Presbyterian Church), where she first proposed the idea. After hearing a sermon about Jarvis’ Mother’s Day in 1909 at Central Methodist Episcopal Church, she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday to honor them. Although she initially suggested June 5, her father’s birthday, the pastors did not have enough time to prepare their sermons, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday in June. ***How convenient, I might add.*** Several local clergymen accepted the idea, and on June 19, 1910, the first Father’s Day, “sermons honoring fathers were presented throughout the city”.
In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.
May the Lord help us to come out of and separate from the world and do what is right so we can be His people! Can two walk together unless they be agreed? Amos 3:3
Rapidly are men ranging themselves under the banner they have chosen, restlessly waiting and watching the movements of their leaders. There are those who are watching and waiting and working for our Lord’s appearing; while the other party are rapidly falling into line under the generalship of the first great apostate. They look for a God in humanity, and Satan personifies the one they seek. Multitudes will be so deluded through their rejection of truth that they will accept the counterfeit. Humanity is hailed as God. {TM 364.3}
Man is exalted more than God in this world! Self is the central attraction.
