I am happy to announce the release of an updated and expanded version of my April 2000 series entitled "Our Pagan World: The Easter Myth Exposed" This
new expanded version of the series contains seven parts as opposed to the original version which consisted of five parts. It includes new commentary
and Bible verses, better formatting, as well as a series graphical header, which I began adding to my articles and series in January of this current
year. You can access the series from the Endtime Prophecy Net home page, or simply by going directly to the URL below:

/www.endtimeprophecy.net/Articles/easter-1.html

This series is also available in downloadable PDF format, here on our Armageddon BBS, as well as on our Endtime Prophecy Net website.

As is my customary practice, below you will find a synopsis of each of the seven parts. As always, feel free to post your reactions to this series on
my Facebook page, on our Endtime Prophecy Net Blog, on our Endtime Prophecy
Net Messageboard, or on the Endtime Discussion Group Exchange -- EDGE -- Mailing List, if you happen to be a member of it.

Thanks, and may you be blessed, spiritually nourished and encouraged by this expanded series.
