What happens when we stray from Yahuah’s original command of honoring our parents and instead adopt the world’s tradition of Mother’s Day?
“Guard, and obey all these words which I command you, that it might be well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the eyes of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahyam. When 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahyam does cut off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, guard yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire about their mighty ones, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their mighty ones? And let me do so too.’ “Do not do so to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahyam, for every abomination which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 hates they have done to their mighty ones, for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their mighty ones. All the words I am commanding you, guard to do it – do not add to it nor take away from it.”
Dabarayam (Deuteronomy) 12:28-32
Just a few of the practical ways Mother’s Day doesn’t fit into our belief.
-We teach children that mixing worldly tradition with Yahuah’s Way is ok as long as it’s right in our own eyes.
-The expectation of it falls on our husbands and children to shower us with gifts and doing something special. It becomes an obligation and can cause a lot of hurt and emotion.
-Consumerism is written all over it.
It is the “second largest U.S. consumer spending holiday” according to the National Retail Federation. Estimates suggest that Americans will spend more than $14 billion this year at restaurants, on clothing, jewelry and flowers.

-Women who cannot conceive, have had miscarriage, or lost a child are grieved. Those who have lost mothers through death or divorce are pained. It puts strain and burden on difficult relationships.
Respect (kabad 𐤊𐤁𐤃) your father (AB 𐤀𐤁) and your mother (AM 𐤀𐤌), as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Alahyak has commanded you, so that your days are prolonged, and so that it is well with you on the soil which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Alahyak is giving you.
Dabarayam (Deuteronomy) 5:16; Shamut (Exodus) 20:12
The deeper Biblical and Spiritual aspect of honoring the commands shows us that:
-We should honor/respect our father and our mother so our days are long. Not on a once a year holiday, but because we should be following the Word and they’re to lead us in the Way.
-Honor/Respect (KaBaD 𐤊𐤁𐤃) & Scriptural Love (A’AhB 𐤀𐤄𐤁) are not equated to emotions and feelings, nor do they come from showering with gifts, or pampering and lifting up on Mother’s Day out of obligation and burden.
But He answering, said to them, “Why do you also transgress the command of Alahyam because of your tradition? For Alahyam has commanded, saying, ‘Respect your father and your mother,’ and ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’
Matay (Matthew) 15:3-4 (Shamut/Exodus 21:17; Uyaqara/Leviticus 20:9)
Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as is proper in the Master. Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them. Children, obey your parents in all, for this is well-pleasing to the Master. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
Qulasayam (Colossians) 3:18-21
Now let’s go onto the real truth, that the holiday has roots in paganism which we are specifically commanded to not partake in. We are not to have other mighty ones before Yahuah.
It’s all about HER, the MOTHER GODDESS. Why are we running towards this?
“The pagans called her by many names. She was known as Aphrodite, Cybele, Sybyl, Diana, Electra, Europa, Isis, Venus, Semiramis, Ashtoreth, Astarte, and Ishtar. Feast days honoring the mother goddesses were known from antiquity. The fact that Americans only began doing so for a little over 100 years facilitates the cognitive divorce between the hoary practice of the ancients and contemporary Americans, many of who claim the practice of the “Christian” faith.
600 years before “Christ”, the Ancient Greek pagans honored Rhea, wife of Cronus (or Saturn-Satan if you prefer) who was worshipped as the mother of the gods and goddesses. Likewise, in pagan Rome, there was a similar festival dedicated to the worship of Juno, called “Matronalia”.
“In England, “Mothering SUNDAY” began to be observed in the 13th century, honoring their mothers with Simnel cakes or “Mothering Day” cakes. This practice is tied to the heathen practice of women baking cakes to the “Queen of Heaven.” “
This celebration was adopted by the Roman Catholic “Mother” Church. This is the same RCC which absorbed the pagan practices dedicated to celebrating goddess worship (Easter/Ishtar) and the heathen celebration of Saturnalia, renamed Christmas. “

“Doing the Middle Ages the custom developed of allowing those who had moved away to visit their home parishes and their mothers on Laetare Sunday, the 4th Sunday of Lent. (Lent is 40 days of weeping for Tammuz)
Festivals honoring mothers and mother goddesses date to ancient times. The Phrygians held a festival for Cybele, the Great Mother of the Gods, as did the Greeks for the Goddess Rhea. Likewise, the Romans adapted the practice to their own pantheon. Some countries have continued to observe ancient festivals; for example, Durga-puja, honoring the goddess Durga, remains an important festival in India.”

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.”
Yaramayahu (Jeremiah) 7:18, 44:19
“And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?”
Yaramayahu (Jeremiah) warned against celebrating Mother’s Day.
“Mother’s Day is a celebration of the Queen of Heaven; Astarte, Ishtar, Artemis, Rhea, Cybele etc, all wives of Saturn/Chronus and Mothers of Zeus/Horus/Jupiter; Capitol means ‘Womb of Zeus’; Jesuits are the Militia of Zeus. Jesuits call the Arch-basilica of St John (John=Oannes the Chaldean Sea Beast aka ‘Rising Sun’ or Antichrist) the Mother Church of all Churches worldwide; Lateran means ‘Hidden Frogs’ (Frog DNA in Coronavirus Vaccine is self replicating ie permanent) The term “Mother Church” replaced the pagan tradition of honoring mythological goddesses first as the fourth Sunday in Lent (Weeping for Tammuz; 40 means Quarenta or Quarantine), a 40-day fasting period before Easter (Ishtar); the day called Mothering Sunday; ‘Mothering Cakes’ (Jeremiah 7:18) became attached to the Universal (Catholic) aka Mother Church started by the Druid princess Helena and Constantine and ending with their Jesuit offspring and Coronavirus ‘Crowned Serpent’ “

May Day (May 1) marks the return of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, with original in ancient pagan agricultural rituals to ensure fertility, handed down from the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Later permutations included the Celtic/Gaelic festival of Beltane and Germanic festival of Walpurgis night. May Day falls exactly half a year from All Saints Day (November 1) and cross-quarter day with pagan overtones.
Wilder Utopia
The Maypole tradition has representations of fertility of spring, decorated with flowers and ribbons, with a phallic representation.
Walpurgis Night (in German folklore) the night of 30 April (May Day’s eve), when witches meet on the Brocken mountain and hold revels with their gods…”
—Oxford Phrase & Fable
Brocken is the highest of the Harz Mountains of north central Germany. It is noted for the phenomenon of the Brocken spectre and for witches’ revels which reputedly took place there on Walpurgis night.
The Brocken Spectre is a magnified shadow of an observer, typically surrounded by rainbow-like bands, thrown onto a bank of cloud in high mountain areas when the sun is low. The phenomenon was first reported on the Brocken.
Mother’s Day is the 2nd Sun-day of May; Father’s Day is the 3rd Sun-day of June. Mother’s Day was officially adopted in the US Capital “Womb of Zeus” in 1914 “In spite of the popularity of Cybele,…. and sporadic occasions honoring mothers during the Middle Ages. It was not until 1914 that the proper combination sentimentality, idealistic promotion and hard business sense impelled the United States Congresss to designate the second Sunday in May as Mothers day, the worship of “Mother Earth” the wife of the Green Man (Saturn) and 4th horsemen “pale green horse – death”. Hell for eternity follows. Pagans and Witches hold Rituals as dumbfounded Christians blindly disregard 2700 year old warnings.

When doing research for this, I even came across the Infernal Order of Draconis Philisophus and they had an entire sermon and prayer to Asherah. This worship is very real and still going on today. I pray for you to repent.
