According to Allison Berry in an article titled “Happy St. Patrick’s Day! A Brief History of Leprechauns.” She writes “This small fairy is often elusive, his presence only marked by a faint hammering sound. William Allingham’s poem “The Leprechaun,” describes man’s particular fascination with this fairy as essentially driven by GREED: “Get him in sight, hold him tight, and you’re a made man.” Of course, his posts of gold provide plenty of motivation for men to seek him out, though usually the human who tries to capture a leprechaun is foiled in the end, made to look away by some invented distraction while the leprechaun escapes. But aside from the treasure he holds, spotting a leprechaun is also considered GOOD LUCK. So listen just a bit more closely while you’re hoisting a pint of GUINNESS this St. Patrick’s Day.”
In this one passage from the article covers the basis of what St. Patrick’s Day is all about GOOD LUCK, GREEDY FOR GAIN, WILD PARTIES, AND DRUNKENNES!” Excessive drinking occurs all over the world in honor of this day when people go to bars/pubs and get drunk, parties, and other gatherings. This is nothing more than another empty tradition of man and superstitions like pinching, wearing green, and four leaf clovers, rabbit’s foot, horseshoes etc all represent good luck and to deceive the people of ELOHIM.
What pagan deity represents Good luck?
Isaiah 65:11
“But you are those who forsake YHWH, who forget My holy mountain, who prepare a table for Gad, and who fill a drink offering for Meni.”
Gad is a pagan deity of “good luck” and “fortune” which is being honored on this day. Anyone who believes in “good luck” or says “good luck” to any person is paying homage to this pagan deity. It’s no wonder the world has been deceived into believing in the four-leaf clover that represents “good luck.” Is there any coincidence to there being a leprechaun on the box of LUCKY charms? I don’t think so!
Psalms 23:5
“You spread before me a table in the face of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.”
So while YHWH prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies, the world decides to prepare a table for the pagan deity of good luck and fortune. Talking about truly forsaking and turning your back on YHWH!
What about greed and drunkenness?
Their superstition says that a leprechaun whom people search for on this day will find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Firstly, I’ve already shown scriptures in a previous broadcast about how LGBTQ has tried to steal the rainbow that surrounds the throne of YHWH, on the head of a messenger/angel in Revelation, and was used a sign/covenant that He would not flood the earth again. Now this time a pagan tradition is trying to attach itself to the holiness of YHWH with greed (pot of gold) at the end of the rainbow.
1 Corinthians 5:11
“But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone called ‘a brother,’ if he is one who fornicates, or GREEDY OF GAIN, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a DRUNKARD.”
Colossians 3:5
“Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, passion, evil desire and GREED OF GAIN, which is idolatry.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
“Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the reign of ELOHIM? Do not be deceived. Neither those who are sexual immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor GREEDY OF GAIN, NOR DRUNKARDS, nor revilers, nor swindlers shall inherit the reign of ELOHIM.”
1 Peter 4:3
“For enough of our PAST LIFETIME we have done the desire of the gentiles, having walked in indecencies, lusts, DRUNKENNES, orgies, WILD PARTIES, and abominable idolatries…”
Ephesians 5:18 says:
“Do not get DRUNK on wine which leads to loose behavior. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”
We know heavy drinking and wild parties occurs on this day and alcohol leads to loose behavior and loose behavior leads to fornication, adultery, anger and other acts not of ELOHIM! There are angry drunks out there that leads to wrath and anger.
James 1:14-15
“But each one is enticed when he is drawn away by his own desires and trapped. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it has been accomplished, brings for death.”
1 Peter 4:7
“But the end of all has drawn near. Therefore be sober-minded, and be attentive in prayers.”
1 Peter 5:8
“Be sober, watch, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
Saints in the Bible did not have their own day!
Nowhere in the Bible are we commanded to have any other feasts than the “Appointed times” that ELOHIM commanded us to keep each year in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16. Not one time have we been commanded to celebrate or uplift a human being like St. Patrick or St. Valentine, regardless if the stories of him converting people to Christianity are true. We do not celebrate “Abraham’s Day” or “Moses Day” or “David’s Day” when all of those righteous men of the Bible were servants of our ELOHIM. YHWH gave the world the Sabbath Day, yet that one gets rejected!
According to realtruth.org, “As with many other manmade holidays, St. Patrick’s Day is filled with pagan customs. The shamrock, green paraphernalia, and plethora of fantasies about Patrick, including his fictional function as “Patron Saint” in heaven, are simply empty traditions. Such manmade holidays were adopted as early church leaders began “laying aside the commandments of ELOHIM” to “hold the tradition of men.”
Some of these holidays are designed to make believers feel like they are honoring a Saint when in actuality it’s to cover up of the worship of a pagan deity, rebranded in the name of Christianity. But even with that said no one should ever hold a man to that kind of esteem anyway. Let’s look at scripture concerning this:
Esther 3:2-3
“And all the kings servants who were in the kings gate bowed and did obeisance to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordechai would not bow or do obeisance.” And the kings servants who were in the kings gate said to Mordechai, “Why do you disobey the kings command.”
Additions to Esther 13:11-13
“You are Adon (Master) of all, and there is none that resists You, who is YHWH! You know all, and You know, YHWH, that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any desire of esteem, that I did not bow down to proud Haman. For I could have been content for the salvation of Yisra’el to kiss the soles of his feet with kindness. But I did this, that I might not prefer the esteem of a man above the esteem of ELOHIM; neither shall I worship any but You, O ELOHIM, neither shall I do it in pride.”
Acts 10:25-26
“And it came to that when Peter entered, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and bowed before him. But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up, I myself am also a man.”
Acts 14:13-15
“And the priest of Zeus, being in front of their city, brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, and wanted to offer with the crowds. And when the emissaries Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their garments and ran in among the crowd, crying out and saying, “Men, why are you doing this? We also are men with the same nature as you, bringing to you the Good News: to turn from these WORTHLESS MATTERS to the LIVING ELOHIM.”
I plead with the world to turn from these worthless matters to the living ELOHIM just as Paul said in Acts. The world has learned to bow down before demons and men because a man told them to do it and they would rather hold to the traditions of men instead of the commandments of YHWH. Mordechai, Peter, Paul, and Barnanbas understood this, just as believers should as well. Worship YHWH and YESHUA and turn from the pagan deities of good luck and fortune, four leaf clovers, leprechauns, wild parties, and drunkenness.
