Merry Christmas or Merry Mithras?
ALL ABOUT "CHRISTMAS"
2000 B.C.E. to 2007 C.E.
By Ed Stevens, James
Trimm & Baruch Ben Daniel
YHWH foretold that from the "seed" of woman would come the Savior
of
all mankind, and by this seed "the Serpent" would be destroyed.
Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between you and the
woman, and
between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and
you shall bruise
his heel."
After the flood, when the human race
was centralized
on the plains of Babylon, hasatan sought to turn men away
from YHWH's plan of
redemption by producing a counterfeit Messiah.
Hasatan found an ambitious
woman named Semeramis, the widow of Nimrod, "the
mighty hunter before YHWH"
Genesis 10:9 who had met with a violent
death. Nimrod had been
deified as the deliverer from the menace
of wild animals. His wife,
seeking to perpetuate his worship and
also with designs to retain the power of
the kingdom, deceived people into believing that through a miraculous conception
she had given birth to a son
called Tammuz, purported to be the reincarnation of
Nimrod. Here
began at 2000 B.C.E. hasatan's counterfeit to the
promised "Seed".
Semeramis with her illegitimate son was thenceforth
worshipped as "mother of
god" (Madonna) or "the queen of heaven." Thus
originated the ancient
Babylonian mystery religion, the fountainhead of all
idolatry. Every
idol whether it is mentioned in the Holy Scriptures or in
Mythology, can be
traced to this source.
Alexander Hislop, in his monumental work
"The Two
Babylons", has shown that papal worship is none other than the
worship of Nimrod
and his wife, disguised in a garb of Christianity.
Concerning the Christmas
festival Hislop writes:
"That Christmas was originally a pagan festival
is beyond
all doubt. The time of the year, the ceremonies with which it is
celebrated,
prove its origin. In Egypt, the son of Isis, the Egyptian
title for the
queen of heaven, was born at this very time, about the time of
the winter
solstice. The very name by which Christmas is popularly known
among ourselves--
Yule day-- proves at once its pagan and Babylonian origin.
"Yule" is the Chaldee
name for "infant," or "little child"; and as the 25th
of December was called by
our pagan Anglo-Saxon ancestors "Yule-day" or "the
child's day", and the night
that preceded it, "Mother night", long before
they came in contact with
Christianity, that sufficiently proves its real
character. Far and wide in
the realms of paganism was this birthday
observed." The Two Babylons;
Alexander Hislop p.93
It can be clearly demonstrated from
Scripture that
Yeshua Mashiyach was not born in the winter, but during the
Fall Feasts. Since
YHWH has in no way authorized the celebration of
Christmas or even Birthdays, so
who induced Christians to do so? As
early as the first century Apostle
Paul rebuked Gentile followers of
Mashiyach for attempting to incorporate
paganism into the True Faith.
Galatians 4:8-11 "Howbeit then, when you knew not Elohim,
you did
service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after
that you
have known Elohim, or rather are known of Elohim, how turn you
again to the weak
and beggarly elements, whereunto you desire again to be in
bondage? You
observe days, and months, and times, and years. I
am afraid of you, lest I
have bestowed upon you labour in vain."
Paul's letter was not heeded by the
Church, in the
year 230 C.E. the Christian "Church Father" Tertullian
wrote:
"By us [Gentile Christians] who are strangers to
(Jewish)
Sabbaths, and new moons, and festivals, once acceptable to G-d, the
Saturnalia,
the feasts of January, the Brumalia, and Matronalia are now
frequented, with
gifts being carried to and fro."
Tammuz was worshipped as god incarnate,
which
implied that he was an incarnation of the "Lord of the heavens," since
the sun
begins to grow stronger after 25th of December, this date came to be
known as
the rebirth of Nimrod and of the Sun. In ancient Rome this day was
known as
"Natalis Invicti Solis", the birthday of the unconquered sun.
Lights were
kindled then to burn until the 6th of January (Epiphany).
The week long
feast of Saturnalia, was held at the time of the winter
solstice, accompanied
with much merrymaking, wild revelry and
debauchery. In an effort to obtain
more converts to Roman Christianity
it was policy for the papacy to amalgamate
heathen festivals with
Christendom. Pope Gregory wrote to Augustine the first
missionary to the
British Isles (C.E. 597):
"Do not destroy the temples of the English gods;
change
them to Christian churches. Do not forbid the "harmless"
customs which
have been associated with the old religions; consecrate them
to Christian
use."
Sir James Fraser in "The Golden Bough" writes:
"Thus it appears that the Christian Church chose
to
celebrate the birthday of its founder on the 25th of December in order to
transfer the devotion of the heathen from the sun to him who was called the
Sun
of Righteousness. If that was so, there can be no intrinsic
improbability
in the conjecture that motives of the same sort may have led
the ecclesiastical
authorities to assimilate the Easter festival of the
death and resurrection
of their Lord to the festival of the death and
resurrection of another
Asiatic god which fell in the same season."
The name "Christmas" first appeared around
450 C.E.
when Pope Julius decreed that all Christians must celebrate the
birthday of
Christ at the same time that the heathen were celebrating the
pagan Saturnalia
feast. It was designated as "Christe-masse", or
Christ's mass.
Sadly, there are precious few true
Christians who
know that the origin of the "Christmas tree" is from Babylon
mystery religion,
many believe the tree originated among Christians in
Europe. But there are
even more precious few Christians who know
better and who speak out to warn
others against the dangers of sentimental
agreements with paganism. The
decorated tree represents Tammuz (which
also means a sprout) hasatan's
counterfeit of "The Branch". (Hebrew: NETZER;
a shoot; or a sprout) The
Mashiyach was prophetically called "The Root
out of dry ground" Isaiah 11:1;
53:2; Jeremiah 23:5; Zechariah
6:12 "Behold the man whose name is
The Branch". Ancient coins
have been found picturing a tree stump which
represented dead Nimrod and a
small tree growing nearby which represented
Tammuz. The
Egyptians used the palm tree; the Romans a pine tree. The
"Xmass tree" as
worshipped by idolatrous Israelites is described in Jeremiah
10.
Mistletoe and holly figured prominently in the early Anglo-Saxon and
Druidic
tree worship.
Jeremiah 10:1-5 "Hear ye the word which YHWH speaks to
you, O house of
Israel: Thus says YHWH, learn not the way of the
heathen, and be not
dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are
dismayed at them. For
the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts
a tree out of the forest, the
work of the hands of the workman, with the
axe. They deck it with silver
and with gold; they fasten it with nails
and with hammers, that it move
not. They are upright as the palm tree,
but speak not: they must needs be
borne, because they cannot go. Be not
afraid of them; for they cannot do evil,
neither also is it in them to do
good."
Clearly Jeremiah records a vivid
depiction of a tree
that is cut down from the forest, erected and decorated
for a religious
celebration. Ezekiel shows how YHWH's people sorely
grieved Him by
adopting the "imagery" of Tammuz which now has become the
decorated Christmas
tree.
Ezekiel 8:11-14 "Then said He unto me, Son of man, have you
seen what the
ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in
the chambers of his
imagery? For they say, "YHWH does not see us; YHWH
has forsaken the
earth." He said also unto me, turn yet again, and you
shall see greater
abominations that they do. Then He brought me to the door
of the gate of YHWH'S
house which was toward the north; and, behold, there
sat women weeping for
Tammuz."
Part of Tammuz worship was to place
golden balls on
the tree which were representative of the testicles of
Tammuz, as he was also
considered a god of sex. The women were weeping
because his prostitution
services were no longer available. The whole
hearted believer will not
contribute to the perpetuation of Christmas by
observing it in any manner; he or
she will withdraw in horror from all
pagan-born celebrations revered by a world
that attempted to slay the infant
Messiah with Herod's sword. The blood of
baby boys born in Bethlehem
cries out against the diabolical hatred toward the
infant Saviour whom the
world hated. The Mashiyach was crucified by those
how had a diabolical
hatred for the Way of Righteousness. The world is now
racing towards
the fulfillment of Revelations 11:10 when YHWH's two witnesses
shall be
slain and "they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and
make
merry and shall send gifts to one another."
Dear friends, heed the words of
Apostle Paul, a man
of TRUTH!
Ephesians 5:11 "Have no fellowship with the
unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
The birth of "Jesus" is remembered
each year
but the Name of Yeshua Mashiyach, the Kingdom of Elohim and His
Righteous Torah
are a contemptuous infamy for the lukewarm religious.
The Torah reminds
us:
Exodus 23:2 "You shall not follow a multitude to do evil"
Yeshua Mashiyach said:
Luke 16:15 "That which is highly esteemed among
men is
abominable in the sight of Elohim"
Apostle Paul writes:
Romans 12:2 "Be ye not conformed to this world
but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may know what is
that good
and acceptable and wholehearted will of Elohim."
Please pass this message along to your
family,
friends whether they be Christian, Jewish, Believers or
non-Believers, we have
an obligation to love each other and warn each
other. Delving into pagan
rituals is NOT a light matter, regardless of
one's "intentions"!
Shalom U'Vrachot,
YHWH be with you,
Baruch Ben Daniel
The Three Magi
Some Christians posture that the story of the Magosi or Magi is
either an
insertion in Scripture or that the Magi were pagans.
The Magi refers to the astrologers/astronomers who were originally
taught by
Daniel the Prophet about the coming of Mashiyach.
These men are neither sorcerers nor Pagans, but Fearers of Elohim
who were
patiently awaiting the coming of Mashiyach.
What the Babylonians learned through Daniel was becoming a reality,
they had
traveled to bear witness of Mashiyach's birth
and bring the good news back to their homeland. One of the
titles of
the Mashiyach.
Bar enosh, like Hebrew ben adam, can also mean "Son of man," or
simply
"man." Daniel 7:13, 14.)

CHRISTMAS means "anointed depart". CHRISTOS (Greek)
means
anointed,
MAS (Latin, missa) means depart. It's a fusion word from parts of
two
languages.
A Scythian monk, Dionysius Exiguus, traveled to Rome
Italy in
the
year 525 CE, and was astounded that the Pagan festival of the birth of
the sun, Saturnalia, was being celebrated with great enthusiasm
throughout the city. It probably rivaled the Mardi Gras festival
(another Pagan celebration rooted in the worship / weeping for Tammuz)
seen celebrated in New Orleans. So, to divert this obvious
Pagan
observance toward a more "clean" reason, he promoted the idea to make
it apply to the birth of Yahushua, the Natsari, High Priest, and King
of Kings. December 25 was believe to be "natalis sol invictus", the
birthday of the sun, at the winter solstice. The Pagans used wreaths
to represent the Nativity of the sun, since they were objects
depicting the "womb" of the Earth mother, Asherah (Artemis, Ishtar,
Eastre, Astoreth, etc., the queen of heaven and consort of BAAL.
Another object in common use was a sexual object seen today
as
the
tree, where the ornaments were testicles, the tree a phallus, and the
tinsel representing the "semen of the deity". The star on top
represented the heavenly object of worship, and the tree connected
them to the Earth. By re-inventing the solar/astral symbols to
pertain to the birth of the Mashiach of Israel, Pagans could keep
doing what they were familiar with yet changing the meaning of them on
the surface. This "fossilization" is against Dt. 12, but Yahuah's
Word was not permitted in the hands of the common person.

ASHERAH - THE CHRISTMAS TREE CUSTOM
BAAL & ASHERAH: THE SUN KING & HIS CONSORT
Asherah is known in Scripture as the "Queen of Heaven", and is
called
"Artemis" by the Ephesians in the book of Acts (chapter 19). The
word
"Asherah" is found at least 40 times in the TaNaKh*, and refers to a
wooden object used in worship of a consort of BAAL, known by the name
of ASHERAH.
The image of Asherah was a tree (a date palm) used by the Pagan
Canaanites and Phoenicians. One of these Pagan Phoenicians was
"Jezebel" (Izebel), who married Ahab, king of Israel (Samaritan king).
When northern Israel was dispersed into the nations by the
Assyrians
in 722 BCE, they carried this "tree" custom with them. The lost
tribes of dispersed Israel have preserved one of their most cherished
Pagan customs among them: the Christmas tree.
"Izebel" is also
referred to at Rev. 2, and her "teachings". The Greeks gave the
"Phoenicians" their name, Phoenicia, which means "date palm". They
called themselves Sidonians or Tyreans, after their city-states of
Tyre and Sidon. Their "date palms" were called ASHERIM, and Izebel
taught this practice to northern Israel through her marriage to
Ahab.
Asherah was the "Queen of Heaven" (see Jer. chaps. 7 & 44). Now,
read
specifically how the Creator feels about it:
Deut 7:26:
" Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or
YOU, like
IT,
will be set apart for destruction. Utterly abhor and detest it, for
it is set apart for destruction." (Look at the verses around Rev.
2:20, again we see Izebel's influences)
Yahuah distinctly warned Israel to not erect an Asherah next to His
altar, nor bring a "detestable thing" into your house. Even though
YOU may not remember what it represented long ago, Yahuah hasn't
forgotten at all. He does not change.
As some have said, the Asherah is a deal-breaker with Yahuah - He
won't stand for it. He dispersed the northern tribes of Israel into
the nations, and they have lived as Pagans for 2700+ years. They left
Yahuah's Covenant, but they have held fast to the Asherim (plural of
Asherah).
"ASHER" is a Hebrew term meaning "happy", and is a word used as a
proper noun, the father of the tribe of Asher (alef-shin-resh).
This
term was modified, and became the word "ASHERAH", a proper name used
by Pagans for the female consort of Baal (Celtic Bel). Baal/Asherah
worship is clearly seen during the time of "Elijah" (ElYahu), when 450
prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah assembled at Mt. Carmel,
and ElYahu (Elijah) challenged them to decide whether Yahuah is
Elohim, or Baal (and his consort, Asherah).
A sister asked the following questions regarding Asherim:
Having read
and re-read The Scriptures over seven times..... I have read about the
Asherah hundreds of times.
1. What is an
asherah?
Answer: The adversary misled
mankind
with various fertility rites,
and receives "worship" through these rites. Yahuah doesn't
provide
us with the details of the heathen rites, but we know
generally from Scripture they performed their rituals in forests or
"groves".
The word "Asherah" is often translated as
"groves". He mentions
how the Israelites would bring "Asherim" and put them near His Hekal
(Temple), behavior which we see inherited
as the "Christmas
Tree". Most probably the trees used were date
palms. Modern witchcraft and Satanism in general follow most
closely
to the worship of Asherah. The name is most likely directly related
to Ishtar, and Artemis, worshipped by modern day witches as well as
the ancient Ephesians (Acts 19:28). Stumps of trees found in
groves
were also used as the altars of Asherah, which may be directly related
to the fallen Nimrod, cut down by Shem (as tradition informs us).
The
purpose of the tree object was to display the fertility emblems
(phallus, testes, semen) in the pole, balls, and tinsel, but the
object was also a type of ALTAR, where offerings and sacrifices were
placed. This is how people have come to place the wrapped "presents"
beneath the tree, and bowing to it as they do so. Generations of
people have been deceived with this behavior for thousands of
years.
While it is easier to see that the imagery associated with Halloween
and Easter stem from Paganism, the words "Christmas tree" seem to
cleanse the object of any former Satanic origin, but this is all part
of the scheme. The "boughs" of holly were Saturn's emblem.
The
two
swooping curves of holly are breasts, and wreath is the womb. All
of
these items used for decoration have significant meaning to the Pagan,
the nativity of Sol Invictus - and must have no part in our
lives.
2.
What
does she look like?
The "Maypole" was originally a huge wooden phallus, and people would
dance around it, wrapping it in colorful ribbons as they worshipped
their sex deity, Asherah. It was later simplified into a pole, and
it's previous meanings have been veiled in ignorance through tradition
and denial. Look carefully, and you'll see there is a boy and a
girl
closely aligned to the pole, being told to stand there, yet being
completely unaware of the significance of the setting they are at the
center of. This is why Pagan worship is called "occult"
--
the true
meaning of things is "hidden" from view, yet in plain sight to those
who are initiated to the secrets.
3. Where can I find pictures of her?
4. Why is it so
difficult to do research on an asherah?
Answer: Images of Asherah vary. One example is the "pole"
above,
and
you can see photos of many alternate ancient versions of this deity on
several popular witchcraft web sites (not that I'm endorsing
witchcraft, but they do worship Asherah and some display the symbols
that represent her).
Yahuah has not wanted His people to study this demonic
worship,
yet
it persists today. The most insidious part is right out in
the
open,
and not "occult" (hidden) at all: the Christmas tree
object! A more
secretive side is also growing in popularity. In fact, it is the
most
popular fad among teens and young adults today. The reason it is not
very easy to learn about is mostly because it is "occult" (hidden);
it has been so since
the patterns of worshipping the adversary went
"underground" after the
execution of Nimrod. They had once practiced their
rebellion
openly, but then withdrew into secrecy to hide their worship
behind symbolism, which could only be interpreted correctly by those
initiated in the occult. One dominant pattern found in occultic
behavior is the matrilinear (mother-goddess) ideal. Rebellion
against Yahuah is accentuated by this matrilinear focus, as opposed to
the patrilinear - so we see the moon being used to represent
the
female astrologically.
People imagine "sin" lurking in men's hearts over many issues. Some
even believe that celebrating Hanukkah might be "adding" to Torah, and
therefore is sinful. In all of Scripture, Hanukkah is mentioned
once
(if one ignores Maccabees I & II), at Yn. 10:22. So, Hanukkah is
found in Scripture, yet "Christmas" is not. If a person shuns
Christmas, and begins to celebrate Hanukkah, it will have consequences
for them. Relatives and friends will shun or persecute them
for
it,
thinking they have become influenced by radical ideas. Christmas
has
been celebrated for 5000 years by Pagans, it simply has a new name and
application. The Romans used "womb-wreaths" at Saturnalia, so what
could these possibly have to do with Yahuah's people?
Although the original concept of Asherim worship has
remained
hidden from the general public, I feel that the acceptance of the
solstice tree is drawn directly from the Pagan worship, transformed
for public consumption. The Asherim were considered altars in
themselves also, where animals and humans were ritually
sacrificed.
This altar could take the form of a tree stump, with the trunk
snapped-off, leaving jagged spike-like splinters. The
Christmas
tree
phenomenon is also a type of altar, where gifts and offerings are
placed. (Easter is a word derived from Ishtar, Astoreth, and
Astarte.
Tree worship is the most prominent feature, however the serpent gets
involved also. It seems that the adversary has the tree and the
serpent seared into "his" mind indelibly. A serpent around a
stump
is one of the symbols we find used in ancient Pagan
religions.
The
Tree of Life (ets chayim) and the Tree of the knowledge of good and
evil may be the sources this fallen being is borrowing from in the
design of the false worship. But we know it is forbidden to
worship
Yahuah in any false or perverted manner. Rebellion is as the
sin
of
witchcraft, and we certainly know that any involvement with Asherim is
witchcraft. Some have even suggested that the symbol of "the cross"
may have been a style of Asherah pole used by certain Pagans, and that
it was brought into the mixed worship of Christianity. Certainly,
the
Christmas tree is considered a "Christian" symbol, yet the common
culture has no idea how it actually relates to anything associated
with Yahuah, or "Santa Claus" for that matter!
"For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure
or
greedy
person-such a man is an idolater -has any inheritance in the
kingdom
of (Mashiach) and of (Elohim). Let no one deceive you with empty
words, for because of such things (Eloah's) wrath comes on those who
are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with
them.
For you were once darkness, but now you are light
in the
(Master). Live as children of light (for the fruit of
the
light
consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out
what
pleases the (Master). Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of
darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention
what the disobedient do in secret . But everything exposed by the
light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything
visible.
Eph 5:5-14
BAAL & ASHERAH HAD A "SHOWDOWN" WITH YAHUAH,
REMEMBER? 1 Kings
18:16-21:
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet
Elijah. When he saw Elijah, he said to him, "Is that you, you troubler
of Israel?"
"I have not made trouble for Israel," Elijah replied. "But you and
your father's family have. You have abandoned Yahuah’s commands and
have followed the Baals. Now summon the people from all over Israel to
meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty
prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at
Jezebel's table."
So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets
on
Mount Carmel. Elijah went before the people and said,
"How long will you waver between two opinions? If Yahuah is
Elohim,
follow Him; but if Baal is Elohim, follow him."
WREATH, ORNAMENTS, AND SCHEDULING OF MAIN PAGAN EVENTS:
The round wreath symbolized the sun, and at the same time the
“womb”,
both thought of as symbols of fertility to Pagans.
The sun was “male”, but “his” symbol was that of the female.
The
vertical tree was decorated with male symbols of fertility, testes
(balls), yet was the image of the “female”, connecting the heavens to
the Earth. This consort of Baal was worshipped as Asherah, Astarte,
Artemis, Athena, Isis, Gaia, Nana, Austron, Ostara, Eastre, Easter,
Aphrodite, Eostre, Astoreth, Ishtar, Diana, Ninurta, Cres, Nut, Venus,
Indrani, Devaki, Tanit, and others. This "tree" was named Asherah
in
the Hebrew Scriptures, and her worship continued as we see recorded in
the book of Acts, chapter 19. She is still worshipped today by
Wiccans, and other Earth Mother cults. The Vernal Equinox pointed
to
the impregnation of the Earth Mother, and the Winter Solstice pointed
to the birth of Baal, the sun, showing the human gestation cycle of
nine months. It was all about fertility, and sex. Even the
custom
of
throwing rice at the newlyweds is a fertility-driven act, and you can
only guess what the rice really represents.
The round ornaments represented the testes as mentioned, and have
also
come to be known as "witch balls". It would be interesting to
see
what a "theologian" might use as an excuse for all this, wouldn't it?
(Also, see article www.fossilizedcustoms.com/seeds.html)
Jer/YermeYahu 10:1-5:
Hear what Yahuah says to you, O house of Israel. This is what
Yahuah
says:
"Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in
the
sky,
though the nations are terrified by them. For the customs of
the
peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with
his
chisel.
They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and
nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a melon patch,
their
idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them; they can do no harm, nor can they do any
good."
Deut 12:29-32:
"Yahuah your Elohim will cut off before you the nations you are
about
to invade and dispossess. But when you have driven them out and
settled in their land, and after they have been destroyed before
you,
be careful not to be ensnared by inquiring about their elohim, saying,
"How do these nations serve their elohim? We will do the
same."
You
must not worship Yahuah your Elohim in their way, because in
worshiping their elohim, they do all kinds of detestable things Yahuah
hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as
sacrifices to their elohim."
Deut 16:21-22:
"Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole beside the altar you build
to
Yahuah your Elohim, and do not erect a sacred stone, for these
Yahuah
your Elohim hates."
Asherah poles are a deal-breaker with Yahuah. Learn NOT the
ways of
the heathen, and do not bring a detestable thing into your home!
Deut 7:26:
"Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or
you, like
it, will
be set apart for destruction. Utterly abhor and detest it, for it
is
set apart for destruction."
More details if you can bear them:
The tree, and the ornaments on the Asherah tree, have specific
meanings to them. The tree is a "phallus", the male reproductive
member. The little balls are testicles, and the "tinsel" represents
the semen of the deity being worshipped. During the late middle ages,
the little balls were interpreted by Christians to be "witch balls",
borrowed from witchcraft, to attract, then capture "evil" spirits.
Where, exactly, did Yahuah tell us to do that? The wreath was used
to
represent the male deity, the sun, yet was the "womb" symbol. So, the
male deity's symbol incorporated the feminine features, while the
female's sign incorporated the masculine features. Similarly, a
"witch" is seen utilizing the male characteristics of the pointed hat
and broomstick - both male features.
These "figures" were clear to the initiated, but to the uninitiated
they meant nothing. Now, the secrets are being shouted from the
rooftops, eh? Christians went deeper and deeper into apostasy as
they
ADOPTED the Pagan customs from those around them. The green ivy and
holly were common symbols of "Saturn", the Roman deity. Early
believers thought that if they decorated their homes with these
trappings, they would appear to be conforming to the Pagan culture as
everyone around them was observing Saturnalia. Thus they would
"blend-in", and they would suffer less persecution. As time passed,
the custom became part of the Christian world, and you will see the
wreaths and Asherim trees in their assemblies and homes today. If
we
don't "join-in" with the celebration, we're considered to be freaks,
or "Scrooges" - bah! Humbug it all truly is! Now,
many centuries
later, the doctrinal offspring of those who might have been persecuted
for avoiding these Pagan traditions, believe that we who do not adopt
them are in a "cult". It's not them, but Father Yahuah that we
would
not wish to offend. We know His heart, and He has called us to "Come
out of her" (Rev. 18).
The word "PAGAN" comes from the Latin word, pagus, and referred to
a
person that was from the "rural" hinterlands. The more educated,
erudite, urban-dwellers viewed those who were "pagus" as
superstitious, illiterate imbeciles because they had quaint beliefs
about the world, especially the unseen, spiritual world. As the
darkness of the world without the Torah of Yahuah became increased,
those who thought themselves to be wise were themselves fools.
"Pagan" became a label for anything that was outside the accepted
religious practices of those in the majority who practiced the
universalized state religion, which after Constantine was termed
"Christian", the Roman word for "universal".
As you see them decorating with the boughs, wreaths, trees,
and
holly, you might help them to repent of this behavior by explaining
what these things actually are, or sending them this web page. The
trappings themselves are set apart for destruction, and those who
decorate with them are set apart for destruction as well. All of it
together is witchcraft, and blatant idolatry.
When will Ephraim repent of this idolatry?
Matt. 24: the End of Days, and the times of the Gentiles (Ephraim
is
sown among the Gentiles)
The really powerful point I draw first from this
whole text is that
Yahushua is describing the extreme last days.
He begins by saying
that
the massive stones will be leveled, and this
happened in 70 CE - but then He moves into
more calamity
that
follows. Ultimately He describes how a great
tribulation will occur which could only be
compared with the time of
creation itself. He declares that if the
days of this tribulation were not shortened, then
NO FLESH would
survive
at all. But, for the sake of the Elect (those
qodeshim observing His Torah) who are still
on Earth enduring to the
end,
He would shorten the days. So, what He
is indicating here is obviously the
extreme end times, just prior to
His
return - which are the days we
now live in. In the midst of this, He orders us to pray that our
flight
will not be in winter or on a Sabbath day. So, the
Sabbath
is still
in force in the extreme last days, not changed as
most have been
taught. But there is more to understand here. The
lost sheep scattered in 722 BCE are to come to their senses after 2730
years.
The prophecy at Ez. 4:4,5 concerning the exile of
the
lost sheep of
the house of Israel (Samaritans driven into the nations in 722 BCE)
shows us that 390 years was the original prescribed penalty for their
Baal/Asherah worship. Having not repented after 390 years in
captivity, the northern tribes then had to endure the seven-fold
increase of the 390-year penalty (see Lev. 26:27,28).
This
means that 7 x 390 years from 722 BCE (2730 years), Israel's
punishment will be lifted, and Ephraim will cry out to return to the
Torah. (see YermeYahu 31).
About when is this cry to take
place? They've been living among the
Gentiles with their Asherim (Christmas trees) for 2730 years as of the
Roman year 2008. The olive tree's blossoming will indicate that
Yahushua's Return is imminent!
We are praying that our flight will
not be
in winter or on a Sabbath
because of the hardship it will cause the weak among us.
The
flight will be caused by a great distress that is apparently
planet-wide, and may include nuclear fallout:
Matt 24:15-27
"So when you see standing in the holy place
'the
abomination that
causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel-let the
reader understand- then let those who are in Yahudah flee to the
mountains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take
anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get
his
cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and
nursing mothers! Pray that your flight will not take place in winter
or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great distress, unequaled
from the beginning of the world until now-and never to be equaled
again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive,
but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. At that
time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Mashiach!' or, 'There
he is!' do not believe it. For false Mashiachim and false prophets
will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the
elect-if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time.
"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not
go
out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. For
as
lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so
will be the coming of the Son of Man."
Now consider Revelation, and
the
mentioning of Izebel and "sexual"
immorality:
Rev 2:18-3:1
"To the messenger of the assembly in Thyatira write:
These are the words of the Son of Yahuah, whose eyes are like
blazing
fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your
love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now
doing more than you did at first.
Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman
Izebel,
who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my
servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to
idols. I have given her time (390 years?) to repent of her
immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of
suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer
intensely, unless they repent of her ways (read Ps. 80). I will
strike her children dead. Then all the assemblies will know that I
am
he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you
according to your deeds. Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to
you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-
called deep secrets (I will not impose any other burden on you).
(Satan’s Deep secrets like womb-wreaths, phallus-trees, and the
ornaments of the Asherim). Only hold on to what you have until I
come.
To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give
authority over the nations- 'He will rule them with an iron scepter;
he will dash them to pieces like pottery'- just as I have received
authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning star. He
who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
ASHERAH: THE CHRISTMAS TREE CONNECTION
IS "ALLAH" THE SAME BEING AS YAHUAH? (CAUTION: below
are shocking
images!)
To answer this, all one has to do is consider the source of some of
the practices. Here's one to look at:
The followers of Yahuah do not practice the customs of Baal /
Asherah
worship. When the worshippers of Baal/Asherah implored their false
mighty-one to answer them by fire, they cut themselves:
1Kings 18:28: "And they cried aloud, and CUT THEMSELVES AFTER THEIR
MANNER WITH KNIVES AND LANCETS, till the blood gushed out upon them."
Here is what some Shiite Muslims do:
"The 6-year-old boy screamed and shook his head to avoid the razor
blade. But his father held him firmly as Hajj Khodor parted the
boy’s
black hair and sliced his forehead three times with the blade.
Ali Madani’s cries became more violent as blood gushed from the
wound,
covering his small, terrified face.
His father and a few other men, waving daggers, broke into a
religious
chant, recalling how the 7th-century Shiite Muslim saint, Imam
Hussein, was decapitated, his head placed on a lance.
In marking the holiest day of Ashura, some Shiites believe children
should learn at an early age about Hussein’s suffering, which is at
the heart of their faith.
Hajj Khodor, wrapped in white and wearing a white turban, said he
has
done cuttings on boys as young as 1-month-old and men as old as 100.
Asked if it was difficult for him to hurt the children, he said:
“The
child doesn’t understand what’s going on. The parents are faithful
and believe by doing this, their children will be protected and will
enjoy a long life.”
(quote taken from
amren.com/mtnews/archives/2007/02/childrens_foreh.php, 3-6-2007)
Not all Muslims practice this; however it seems to echo the type of
behavior seen in the priests of Baal / Asherah.
By the way, they do this on the "holiest day" of "Ashura".
This word
seems very close to the word "Asherah".
It's interesting that the original "Asherah" image worshipped by
the
Canaanites was a "date palm" tree.
An emblem is used in the Islamic faith, and it contains, by some
strange coincidence, a date palm tree.

CHRISTMAS (CHRIST'S MASS) QUESTIONS
Subject: Christmas – a
few
questions about it asked recently of Lew
White
Message from (name deleted): "This appears to be my
year
to break away
from observing christmas. From what I have studied I believe that
ceasing to observe christmas is part of "Coming out of her". I believe
that I have been called to stop participating in this man-made holiday
and to start observing the appointed times of Yahuah. I have already
told my parents and grandmother and I can not say that this was an
easy thing to do. It was met with sadness as I expected. I just now
informed my wife's mother over the phone and she basically said that
she "didn't feel her daughter should be with someone who doesn't want
to be her family on christmas". She doesn't understand why I cannot at
least be with the family on that day. Forsaking christmas has been a
process over the past few years. I know that there is no way that I
would be able to confront these people in my life if it were not for
His strength and encouragement. If I were to ignore Yahuah's desire, I
will live as a miserable coward not worthy of what He has called me
to. I also believe that this is a test and that Yahuah can use my
obedience to Spiritually benefit my family. I am assuming that you
were brought up in a family that celebrated christmas. If this was the
case, do you mind sharing with me a little about your experience with
your family when you stopped participating in christmas?"
1) I
believe that I am to cease from having anything to do with
christmas, even if that means not even eating with my family. Would
you say this is accurate?
2) Will you share with me some about
your
experience with your family
when you stopped participating in christmas?
Dear brother
(name
deleted),
Like most people, I was raised celebrating Christmas as
the
“birthday
of the Savior”. This practice under other names has been observed by
Pagans as the rebirth of the sun deity for approximately 3000 years.
The last big shift in the meaning or application of the solstice
festival occurred in about 525 CE (AD), when Dionysius Exiguous (a
monk) was appalled at what he discovered being celebrated at Rome upon
his visitation there. He saw the raw, Pagan festival of Saturnalia in
full swing. He was from Scythia, north of the Black Sea, an area once
occupied by the northern tribes of Israel that had fled there from the
land of Samaria in 722 BCE, driven out by the Assyrians. He recognized
Pagan behavior, but chose to simply divert the “meaning” of the
practice toward the birth of Yahushua, instead of the sun.
The
worship of
Baal and his consort Asherah was wrapped-up in the
practice and symbols of this festival originally dedicated to the re-
birth of the sun deity, being nine months from the springtime
fertility festival of Ishtar (Easter), a time when the sun was
believed to impregnate the Earth with the rays of the solar disc. As
Christianity developed, these formerly Pagan festivals became
reinvented so the idolatry would be concealed, down-played, or cloaked
beneath new meanings - they essentially put lipstick on a pig and
kissed it, believing it had changed into a beautiful woman. The Jesuit
practice of “casuistry” (google that term) makes it possible to think
about something in a completely new way, rationalizing and justifying
it, so adapting a Pagan practice is thought to be “cleansed” as
acceptable as long as the camouflage covers the old ideas well enough.
The wreath is a symbol of a womb, the tree is a phallus, and the balls
are testacles -- all liberally sprinkled with the tinsel which
represents the semen of the solar deity. These symbols are only “seen”
for what they really are by those initiated in the occult, yet
Yahushua told us that what is whispered in secret will be shouted from
the rooftops. To the Canaanites, the tree was worshipped as Asherah,
and gifts were brought into the “groves” of trees and placed beneath
them as offerings.
Goliath of Gath (a Philistine/Palestinian)
would
have certainly used
the tree, balls, Easter baskets, and Maypoles seen today. All of this
is specifically against Dt. 12:28-32, but it is all well camouflaged
and promoted to apply to the Messiah of Israel throughout the entire
world. People can live in denial of the truth for their entire lives,
but most never have the opportunity to learn there is anything
wrong.
My parents and other family thought I had come in
contact
with a
“cult” or had lost my mind when I first stopped going to the Christmas
Day family get-togethers around 1986. They still don’t understand any
better after over 20 years, but I always have hope they will come to
understand my motivation for avoiding the Pagan practices specifically
condemned by the Creator, Yahuah.
All I can do is encourage you to avoid idolatry in all its forms (Acts
15:29), and embrace the faith once delivered to the saints, Yahuah’s
Torah (the Covenant), which Yahushua seeks to write upon a believer’s
heart.
In answer to your first question, I’d say that
Yahushua
would not go
to a party or gathering that people were having that had at one time
been based on sun worship (Baal), or excuse it like the Jesuits with
mental acrobatics (casuistry). So, completely ignoring the man-made
“Christmas Day” is the best decision considering we’re going to have
to give an account to the Creator of the heavens and the Earth one
day.
We also have to warn those who engage in such things, otherwise
their
blood (on the day of judgment) will be upon our heads.
Needless
to
say, those who practice Christmas Day, Sun-day, and
Easter Day are not exactly thrilled to hear about the true origins of
the days from people like us. They feel we are judgmental, harsh, and
no fun to be around. What they don’t see in us is the incredible
freedom and clean-feeling we have because we have resisted the
harlotry of idolatrous practices. We’re strange to them, and probably
have the stench of the Messiah upon us. Peter told the former Pagans
not to fall back into their idolatry, as a pig that has been bathed
would return to wallowing in the mud, or a dog would return to that
which it had once vomited up:
2Pe 2:21, 22:“For it would
have
been better for them not to have known
the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the set-
apart common delivered to them. For them the proverb has proved
true:
‘A dog returns to his own vomit,’ and, ‘A washed sow returns to her
rolling in the mud.’”

THE REAL CHRIST-MASS STORY IN THE BIBLE
IS NEVER ACTUALLY
READ BY
MINISTERS AT CHRISTMAS
You probably already know Christmas is a Lie.
You obviously
know there is
no Santa Clause (if you are old enough to
read this).
You probably already know Jesus wasn't born on December
25th.
And you probably already know the date was really based on the
winter
solstice.
But you probably don't know WHY this lie is
told...
And though a
lie, YET believed and practiced anyway.
And that
is the biggest part of the
Christmas lie that is a lie.
The lie that is being told at Christmas is not simply a
harmless
little benevolent lie,
Told to entertain children.
It is a
WHOPPER.
Told to deceive adults.
How big a WHOPPER will leave you in shock and disbelief.
You
will
swear the truth simply cannot be what it apparently is.
And you will
look for
excuses, rationalizations and even consider the
cost of simple denial,
When you read what you are about to read.
But it is all true.
Whether you admit it or not, it is
true,
Whether you believe it or not, it will still be true,
Agree with
it
or not, it will not matter.
It is the same truth, that has been true,
For 4000
years.
And gave
birth to not only the world's three largest
religions,
Judaism, Christianity
and Islam,
But even the founding of
America itself.
What you are about to read,
Is the truth about
Christmas,
That no
one is ever allowed to tell.
And until the age of
the internet,
Most were never allowed to hear.
Not by their
Ministers,
Not by
their school teachers,
Not in their Churches,
Not
on their TVs,
Not on
the News,
Not even on the educational
channels,
And some, not by their
governments.
It exists in parts and pieces throughout any common
library,
Shadows
and shapes of it will occasionally surface,
Fragments
like broken bits of
tiny glass left on the floor,
That you don't see
until you happen to step on
it,
And suddenly become aware of something
painful.
THE CHRISTMAS STORY is in the Bible.
Every year, you will
hear
Ministers get up and read from the Bible at
Christmas.
But the oddest thing about THE CHRISTMAS STORY
Is that
the
Ministers never read the parts of the Bible that actually
speak about CHRISTMAS.
Instead they read about the Birth of Christ.
All
along
admitting they know he wasn’t really born then,
and isn’t really
the reason
for their Christ-mass?
Except he is. But he isn't. But he
should be,because
he is. But he isn't.
And the shocking and perhaps most unbelievable thing about
Christmas,
Is that it existed before Christ was ever born.
Not only
did it
exist before he was born.
But it existed before he was born by
thousands of
years.
In fact, Christmas was celebrated before the time of
Abraham.
It
was already being celebrated when Abraham was called out of
Ur.
And all of the parts of the Bible that speak about
Christmas,
Which span throughout the entire Bible,
From Genesis to
Revelation,
Are precisely the parts your Minister will never read at
Christmas?
Instead they read about the birth of Christ,
Knowing he
wasn't born
then.
Knowing no one who ever followed him did such a
thing.
Knowing they
do what he never commanded or even requested.
Instead he reads all the parts that have nothing to do with
Christmas.
Things that happened in other parts of the year,
In the
context
of other events and festivals and even people.
But he will never
read at
Christmas, the parts of the Bible,
The Prophets and Apostles
actually wrote
about Christmas.
Some knowing he actually forbade it.
But they do it never-the-less... "for him".
Because they
love him so
much, they do not care what he said.
Or who he really
was,
Or when he was
really born,
Or what his name really was,
Or
what he even really looked
like.
Much less, what he really wanted.
They are good Christians.
And want to force all of the
country,
Through the penalty and punishment of law,
To be good
Christians
just like themselves.
Because they love the person born at
Christmas so
much,
Who really wasn't born at Christmas.
That they do not care
what he really thought,
what he
really
taught,
who he really was,
when he was really born,
what
his
religion really was,
what he really looked like,
or even what
his name
...really was?
They love him so much.
In FACT, These Ministers love him so much,
They will never
read the
parts of the Bible he actually spoke
About this time of year and
it's
practices.
Because if he did...
You would probably get up and walk out
the door
of his Church.
Because you love him too.
And that is why He
never reads
these texts.
And why you have never heard THE CHRISTMAS
STORY,
...THE REAL
CHRISTMAS STORY that is.
THE CHRISTMAS STORY you have heard,
Is the one they tell you
as a
known lie,
But ask you not to mind that it is a lie,
Nor look too
closely
at the lie, they tell you they are telling you,
To keep from
having to tell
you the truth.
But when you find out THE TRUTH this lie is told to cover
up,
You will
realize why people (Americans and Christians) not only
risked
their lives,
But even died to escape it.
Yes died. It is in fact
that
serious.
At least to the Christians who founded the majority of
America's once
Protestant faiths,
And even America's own Founding Fathers.
These are
the "Christians" that founded America.
And they were literally dying to
escape Christmas.
The same who are now quoted by "good Christians"
who say they love
their country,
just like they do the person born on December 25th,
who
wasn't,
but was,
but anyway they don't care.
HOW STRANGE ISN'T IT?
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE?
It is a "Mystery" isn't it !
....a "Mystery" that stretches
all the
way back to ancient Babylon
CHRISTMAS DID NOT COME FROM CHRIST
THINK YOU KNOW CHRISTMAS IS A LIE, DO YOU? YOU'VE NOT EVEN
HEARD THE
HALF OF IT. CHRISTMAS IS THE MOST DEADLY LIE ON EARTH. IT'S EXISTENCE
STRETCHES BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF HISTORY WAY BEFORE CHRISTIANITY AND
IT HAS SHAPED THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD INCLUDING THE FOUNDING OF
AMERICA
The Christmas Lie is MUCH BIGGER Than You Think.
IT'S ABOUT
THE
HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION.
...and THIS is what they DON'T WANT YOU TO
KNOW
about it.
CHRISTMAS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL CHRIST OF THE BIBLE
It
was
celebrated before he was ever born and would be celebrated in
much the same way as it is today, if he had never even existed!
Because what you are worshipping on this day, is NOT CHRIST. They just
TOLD YOU it was, so you would do it as a "Christian" without
complaint.
DECEMBER 14TH, 1971CONGRESSIONAL RECORD E13461
in defense of the
state's
observance of Christ-Mass, it was openly
declared and publically recorded in our own Public Congressional
Record (Congressional Record E13461 December 14, 1971), that Christ-
Mass was neither a "Christian" holy day, nor begun by
Christianity.
"As
Christmas comes down to us today it is a rich heritage
of customs,
traditions, folklore, and legend, drawn from many lands and people ---
The idea of celebrating on or about December 25 was born among ancient
people long before the birth of Christ. In Rome, it was the 'dies
natalis invieti solis'- the birthday of the unconquered Sun. In the
same manner, other customs originally pagan in origin have been
assimilated into our Christmas heritage -- the decorative tree, the
glowing candles, the story of Santa, stockings by the fireplace,
greeting cards, yule logs -- all are now associated with the birthday
of Christ."
CHRISTMAS DID NOT COME FROM THE REAL CHRISTAND IT DOES
NOT
"HONOR" OR
"REMEMBER" HIMIT REPLACES HIM WITH AN "IMAGE" WHO IS ACTUALLY
APOLLYON
Like every lie, THE CHRISTMAS LIE has been CRAFTED to HIDE
THE
TRUTH
about somethingand what it is HIDING is REALLY THE FIRST THING you
SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT IT!BY YOUR PROTESTANT MINISTER !!!
WHY DO "CHRISTIAN" MINISTERS LIE ABOUT CHRIST-MASS?
The
following "True
Confession" and "Testimonial" was written by a
former Baptist minister who lost everything as a result of standing
for the truth. Here is part of his story which will resonate with many
who find themselves in similar situations in the Ministry. It
illustrates why in all probability, your Protestant/Evangelical
minister has chosen to lie to you about Christmas, and what happens to
those who DO repent and surrender their will to the REAL CHRIST of the
Bible, and give their lives to God (the real one). Until the body of
people who make up the congregations of these historically
Protestant/Evangelical Churches, institutions and denominations begin
to speak up for their own true theological heritage, their own
history, and their own faiths, you will see why given the options,
most ministers who care more about their careers, than their souls,
will simply sear their conscience and support the lies. If they do
not, they are FIRED! PROTESTANT!
...We grew up celebrating Christmas,
and
December 25th was something
we were trained to look forward to all year long. Every big toy or
present we decided we wanted was deferred and promised to us for
Christmas, which often times we got. As I grew older, I remember
focusing more and more on the spiritual aspect of Christmas. The part
about Christ. The Church functions and activities, etc. I do confess I
did enjoy the music and the nostalgia and reflection of the holiday.
But the commercialism always bothered me, as did the lying to children
about Santa-Clause. I knew there was simply no way to reconcile that
with scripture. I remember when I was in college, while training for
the ministry, reading a book by Alexander Hislop called "The Two
Babylons" and found it absolutely fascinating.
I was blown away
really
how so many things had become part of our
religious traditions that were simply straight out of hell. I was also
a C.H.Spurgeon fan, and ran across his comments about Christmas. The
more I begin to read about it, the more shocked I became about what I
was endorsing to students of my ministry. I finally got to the point I
could no longer in good conscience support this deception. The problem
was of course, that most Baptist denominations now support Christmas.
In fact, they have built much of the Church calendar around Christmas
and holiday activities associated with it. Even certain charity drives
and missionary fund drives are done especially at Christmas. I knew
that I had to make a choice between being a "company man" and going
along with the program, or doing God's will. The more I tried to
justify the compromises, the worse I felt, and the more guilty my own
conscience started to become. It was affecting my spiritual life
definitely. I could actually feel God's presence leaving. That's when
I knew, if I did want to serve God in reality, rather than just
pretend, I simply had no choice.
Well as you can imagine, that was
the
end of my career. But it was a
career that I realize now would have taken me down the road to hell,
even though on the outside, it would all looked quite the opposite.
After you go to college and get your degrees in theology, and then
find yourself in a state of disagreement, there is not much else you
can do with your education. I ran across ministers who didn't believe
in the Bible anymore, didn't believe in the afterlife, I even met one
who admitted in private he was really an atheist or agnostic. But they
were all doing the religious motions externally that kept everyone
happy (like Christmas). I was angry about it for a while. But what has
happened since is that God has tremendously blessed us financially, my
relationship with God is better now than it has ever been, and I have
had a life of ministry since then, that God has richly blessed. And
most importantly of all, I can now speak the truth to those I talk to
about God. The decision I made to withdraw from Christmas was one of
the hardest things I ever did. It cost me what I thought was going to
be my career. That was 30 years ago and the more I have learned about
this subject, the more I am convinced that decision was a pivitol
point in my own salvation. Had I chosen to go the way of the world
with this, there is no doubt in my mind, I would have lost my soul,
and become another angel of the devil that the the Church is now over
-run with. I met one of my freinds from college, years later, who
had
made the decision to keep their job, rather that obey what the Spirit
of God was telling them. This person broke down in tears with me and
asked me to pray for them. They told me that if they were to die in a
car accident on the way back returning to their Church for service,
they really had no assurance in their own heart, they would even be
going to heaven. I do believe this fork in the road can become an
issue in someone's salvation. The Christ they are peddling for
Christmas is not the one in the Bible. It is a phoney fake
commercialized pagan Christ. I'm fairly convinced if I had followed
that one 30 years ago, I would have wound up in the same spiritual
condition as my friend. I hope this encourages others who find
themselves in ministries, to do what they know is right, rather than
what they know will advance their careers.. Because in the end, you
might gain the world, but lose your own soul over it. And that's
simply not worth what you will pay.
If you would like to share your
experiences coming out of Christ-mass,
why you did it, and how, email your story to [email protected]
and we will post it here. All postings will remain anonymous unless
you request otherwise.
WHAT THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY HIDING FROM YOU
IS INEXCUSABLE AND
SHOCKING
BEYOND BELIEF!
You'll understand why THE REAL CHRIST said those who were ALIENATED
from Religion in 1st Century Israel were "BLESSED" (AND YOUR MINISTER
HAS NEVER REALLY TOLD YOU WHY) Because he is now doing the same thing,
only worse!
AND WHY AMERICA'S OWN PILGRIM FOUNDING FATHERS, CHOSE TO RISK THEIR
VERY LIVES FLEEING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN TO ESCAPE COMPULSORY
CHRISTMAS IN EUROPE. YOU'LL WANT TO RUN TOO, WHEN YOU FINALLY HEAR THE
TRUTH THAT GAVE BIRTH TO THE FOUNDING FATHERS PILGRIMAGE TO AMERICA IN
SEARCH OF FREEDOM (FROM CHRISTMAS!!!)

THE $100 DOLLAR CHALLENGE
BETWEEN 65-95 A.D., a prophecy was penned which would later become
part of the New Testament. The prophecy is so specific and
umistakable, it specifies a single person, by name, who would be one
of the most powerful men in the world 300 years before a person of
this exact and specific name appears in history FULFILLING over 40
descriptions of his activity and identity, beyond all odds. No other
world figure of this description in the history of humanity has had
this name, and he was the overseer of one of the most powerful legal
instruments ever created in western civilization, and most Americans,
(and most Christians) have never heard of any of this! This is what
they will not tell you in school because of politics, and they will
not tell you in Church because of something called apostacy. This site

Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of
the
bottomless pit,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in
the
Greek tongue
hath his name Apollyon.
THE REASON FOR THE SEASON You will be surprised to discover it had
nothing to do with "Christ". On December 14th, 1971 in defense of the
state's observance of Christ-Mass, it was openly declared and
publically recorded in our own Public Congressional Record
(Congressional Record E13461 December 14, 1971), that Christ-Mass was
neither a "Christian" holy day, nor begun by Christianity. So what
does it have to do with then? The truth is that it revolved around the
worship of an ancient Sun-god known as Apollo, previously Apollon in
Greece (NT=Apollyon), the worship of which, the ancient Roman Ceasar
Constantine was said to have been "addicted". This VERY SUN-GOD is
mentioned BY NAME and condemned in the Scriptures. AND... prophesied
in the New Testament as a FALSE CHRIST which would be the real "deity"
of a Roman-Christian "empire" which would come in "Christ's name", but
would deceive the world into damnation under a "Man of Sin" who would
"speak as God". THE REAL REASON for the season.
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever
and
ever:
and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and
his
ICON
THE CHRIST OF CHRIST-MASS The "Christ" they wish to put "back
into"
Christmas was NEVER the real Christ to begin with. Rome did not even
intend it to the be the REAL CHRIST. It was intended to be a Icon
created by the Roman empire socially and psychologically engineered to
give Rome absolute power over the hearts and minds of a medieval
fascist dictatorship. These well known but rarely discussed historical
facts are shocking. The Christ they wish to "put back" into Christmas
is a FALSE CHRIST everyone would be much better off without, which
worshiping could even endanger one's eternal destiny. Not only was
this Christ intentionally created to be a FALSE CHRIST to replace the
REAL ONE, orders were issued to have every living member of his
natural family exterminated to make sure the Roman Icon went
unchallenged by pesky matters of reality. Find out how the REAL CHRIST
actually prophesied this Roman Icon, and warned anyone patronizing
this violent and cruel deception could be endangering their own
salvation.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast:
for it is the number of a man;
and his
number is
Six hundred threescore and six.
THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST-MASS We are constantly told the "Spirit of
Christmas" is every ideal of human warmth and kindness to BE
celebrated by all? Jews, Muslims and even Atheists are "expected" to
"join in" without question or hesitation in this "holy day" promoted
by the State. Why is it that NO ONE [including your Pastor] bothers to
ever tell you, the name of the man in Rome who established this "holy
day" as State law, was actually named 666! Literally! And yet most
Christians todsy have never even heard of him! People from all
denominations including Roman Christian CLERGY, who spent centuries
examining and debating these texts, recognized this imperial power as
the "Man of Sin" prophesied to come by the NT and stated so in public
records for nearly 500 consecutive years. The "Christmas" CHRIST was
identified as the prophesied "ICON of the beast" to be worshipped by
force of law, that would lead the world into deception. Before it is
finished the force of that law, will brutally murder more people
throughout history, than any other organization in previous history
Rev 17:4,5 And the woman was arrayed in PURPLE and SCARLET colour,
and
decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden
cup in her
hand full of abominations and filthiness of
her fornication:
And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.
THE CHURCH OF CHRIST-MASS Ever wonder why CHURCHES have STEEPLES on
them? [Old English for "Tower"]? You might be surprised to discover it
has to do with the Roman Christ of Christ-Mass and the same theology
that motivated a Pope to call himself by the name of Sixtus III.
[Literally 666] Constantine intentionally named THE FIRST CHURCH he
built, the THEA SOPHIA, after the False Christ of the Egyptian
gnostics. The CHURCH created to celebrate CHRIST-MASS was ACTUALLY
created to fulfill the roles of the "bride of Christ" and "whore of
Babylon" due to the influence of Eastern Monism prevalent in Roman
"mystery religion" of the era. Leaders in every stream of Christianity
for 5 centuries, including Roman Christian, recognized the hallmarks of
this institution as having fulfilled an ominous prophecy, and went so
far as to warn participation placed everyone in "eternal danger". Thus
creating what we call today, the Protestant Reformation. A movement
begun by Roman Christian clergy, in fear of what they had discovered!
Luk 22:15,20 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat
this PASSOVER with you...
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying,
This cup is the new
testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
THE MASS OF CHRIST-MASS CHRIST-MASS is the central calendar observance
of the Roman Mass. A practice started out of intense anti-Semitic
hatred of Jews, as a substitute for the Passover Seder commanded by
the REAL CHRIST. The real Christ admittedly never had anything to do
with a Mass and not only observed the Seder meal, but commanded his
disciples to do so as well. The Mass, established as a counter to the
Passover, after which [though celebrated by followers of Christ for
centuries] was actually outlawed as a crime against the state of Rome.
The Mass is the ritualistic killing of an enemy of Rome at Saturnalia,
and it's observance is STILL practiced as the killing of Christ to
this day. CHRIST-MASS is actually not "celebrating his birth". It is
"celebrating" his execution Rome itself conducted, and scapegoated
Jews on behalf of, in a doctrine called "blood liable". It was also
the official institutional rejection by Rome, of the very blood and
body of THE REAL CHRIST who was Jewish, and in form, if not letter,
the New Testament version of the "Abomination of Desolation".
Rev 2:15,16 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Repent; or else I will come unto
thee
quickly, and will fight against
them with the sword of my mouth.
THE PATRON SAINT OF CHRIST-MASS The mystery of the "Patron Saint" of
CHRIST-MASS is no mystery. "Saint Nicholas", known as an amibigious
"early saint" who suddenly acquires a new history called "tradition"
in the after-math of the Iconoclast wars in 847 CE. Find out how the
"Patron Saint" of CHRIST-MASS, "Saint Nicolas" was long known before
847 CE and how he, as the association today suggests, is the actual
"founder" of CHRIST-MASS (father Christ-Mass). What you are not told
is that when he "founded" this syncretistic practice between paganism
and NT faith, it was condemned as immoral filth and compared to
adultery. The words are recorded by the writers of the New Testament,
along with this "Patron Saint" whose followers are cursed by John in
his vision of the risen Christ. The Mythical Character Santa Clause
derived from the Patron Saint Nicolas, was actually brought to life
through incorporation of Masonic symbolism, looking back to Nimrod,
king of Babylon, [founder of the "legend of the Craft"] in Masonry,
and the proto-type of the Antichrist!
Isa 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree
THE CHRIST-MASS TREE "Christmas Apologists" crusade the internet
informing people an obvious reference in Jeremiah to a Tree being cut
down, brought into the home, placed in a stand, and decorated with
silver and gold have "nothing to do with the Christmas tree".
Unfortunately, the historical practices of the winter solstice in the
Middle East are well documented by modern archeologists. The fact is
that Mithraic practices were being assimilated into Israel [known to
all historians] and reflected in the texts of the Tanakh, where both
the ancient festival and its modern practice is thoroughly denounced
in scores of texts. The New Testament in keeping with their
predeccessors, openly called these practices the cause of separation
from God, the practice of Apostates and the unmistakable mark of one's
potential future damnation. Prophets warned if you mix the worship of
God with the lake of fire in the sky, that is where you will go when
you die. It is a worship the prophets warned God does not accept, and
is a dangerous deception.
Mat 5:10-12 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness'
sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
THE SCROOGE OF CHRIST-MASS The Christmas productions of GRINCH and
SCROOGE on closer examination are full of intolerance against people
who, for "conscientious reasons" preferred not to recognize Rome's
Christ-Mass. Who were these "awful scrooges"? They were actually
Jewish & Protestant New England "FOUNDING FATHERS". And while they
had
no desire to celebrate Rome's Christ-mass, they were opposing Rome's
slavery in the South, where the first "Christmas" in America was made
STATE LAW, thanks to Valladolid Christianity promoted by Jesuit
slave-
traders in Southern slave-port cities. Later this theology became
the
basis of the Klan and its promotion of CHRIST-MASS in the 1920s.
"Scrooge" is a residual orgy of anti-Semitism [as many Jewish children
are aware], composed by Dickens, who referred to his "villain" as THE
JEW and created the most vile anti-Semitic caricature ever penned in
the history of the English language. The "ghost of Christ-mass past",
did not "haunt" Ebenezer [a real man Dickens misrepresented]! But
rather Dickens himself, who destroyed 20 years of letters to "hide"
his own past.
Pro 14:12,13 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death. Even in laughter the heart is
sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
THE JOY OF CHRIST-MASS Unlike the "image' it's promoters constantly
create on television, CHRIST-MASS is by far the saddest, most
depressive, and even deadliest times of the entire year. Find out how
its practices have been implicated in everything from the actual cause
of divorces, to financial ruin, to even death itself. Find out how the
true "devastation" of this practice runs both into the billions of
dollars and impacts our lives in ways we rarely are allowed to
realize. Find out how it negatively affects not only on our personal
lives, our marriages, our finances, but even our national economy, our
environment and our "spiritual lives". Fragile and unstable
personalities frequently collapse under the stress of it's annual
demanding social rituals leading to peaks in random violence and
crime. Its consequences for both you the individual, your family and
even your society, are the complete opposite of what they claim with
yearly multi-million dollar promotions based on pure known intentional
deciet. "Merry Deathmas?"
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not
come,
except there come a falling away first,
and that (not
"Vicar of
Christ" but) MAN OF SIN be revealed,
the (not "Holy Father"
but) SON OF
PERDITION ;
Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is
called God, or
that
is worshipped;
so that he as God sitteth (EX CATHEDRA) in the
sanctuary
of God,
shewing himself that he is God.
THE MIRACLE OF CHRIST-MASS The "miracle" of CHRIST-MASS is that in a
country where 70% of the population should find CHRIST-MASS absolutely
unacceptable, it is Federal Law, Federally Funded and it's
participation is legally Mandated, from Public education to government
office, even if you are so far removed as to be an Atheist. And at a
time when conservatives claim there is not so much money available to
even feed people, they demand ever increasing budgets and government
extravaganzas at tax payer expense to fund public displays of
idolatry, "in the name of Christ" who has the honor of becoming a
blonde-haired, blue eyed Gaelic Apollo-Baby and serving as Cheif Idol
in the pantheon. It is obviously what some would call a "miracle".
Find out how this "miricle" is prophesied in the New Testament as
well, but not the kind you would want to participate in. There... it
is called a miraculous "delusion". The same term employed by Charles
Dickens himself upon writing THE CHRISTMAS CAROL, and the "vicious
caricature" of Ebenezer Scrooge, on its behalf.
2Th 2:10-12 (Speaking of those who refuse to admit the identity of the
"Man Of Sin")
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them
that
perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they
might be
saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the
truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.

THE LAW ON CHRIST-MASS The Religious-Reich has placed the First
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in it's cross hairs for
elimination. Unfortunately, many Americans, Protestants and
Evangelicals have been seduced by tfalse claims promoted by Romanists,
that there is either some Biblical basis or historical precendent for
eliminating our form of Constitutional government established by New
England Protestants seeking protection for all Americans from the
abuses of historical Rome, and replacing it with a "Christian State".
Unfortunately, that is only a deception being used to erode and
eventually eliminate the very legal protections Protestant Forefathers
gave their lives to establish. The use of America as a platform for
restoration of a "Christian" nation is political code for justifying
the establishment of the (i.e., Holy Roman empire a/k/a Third Reich)
in the United States.

2000 B.C.E. to 2007 C.E.
By Ed Stevens, James
Trimm & Baruch Ben Daniel
YHWH foretold that from the "seed" of woman would come the Savior
of
all mankind, and by this seed "the Serpent" would be destroyed.
Genesis 3:15 "And I will put enmity between you and the
woman, and
between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and
you shall bruise
his heel."
After the flood, when the human race
was centralized
on the plains of Babylon, hasatan sought to turn men away
from YHWH's plan of
redemption by producing a counterfeit Messiah.
Hasatan found an ambitious
woman named Semeramis, the widow of Nimrod, "the
mighty hunter before YHWH"
Genesis 10:9 who had met with a violent
death. Nimrod had been
deified as the deliverer from the menace
of wild animals. His wife,
seeking to perpetuate his worship and
also with designs to retain the power of
the kingdom, deceived people into believing that through a miraculous conception
she had given birth to a son
called Tammuz, purported to be the reincarnation of
Nimrod. Here
began at 2000 B.C.E. hasatan's counterfeit to the
promised "Seed".
Semeramis with her illegitimate son was thenceforth
worshipped as "mother of
god" (Madonna) or "the queen of heaven." Thus
originated the ancient
Babylonian mystery religion, the fountainhead of all
idolatry. Every
idol whether it is mentioned in the Holy Scriptures or in
Mythology, can be
traced to this source.
Alexander Hislop, in his monumental work
"The Two
Babylons", has shown that papal worship is none other than the
worship of Nimrod
and his wife, disguised in a garb of Christianity.
Concerning the Christmas
festival Hislop writes:
"That Christmas was originally a pagan festival
is beyond
all doubt. The time of the year, the ceremonies with which it is
celebrated,
prove its origin. In Egypt, the son of Isis, the Egyptian
title for the
queen of heaven, was born at this very time, about the time of
the winter
solstice. The very name by which Christmas is popularly known
among ourselves--
Yule day-- proves at once its pagan and Babylonian origin.
"Yule" is the Chaldee
name for "infant," or "little child"; and as the 25th
of December was called by
our pagan Anglo-Saxon ancestors "Yule-day" or "the
child's day", and the night
that preceded it, "Mother night", long before
they came in contact with
Christianity, that sufficiently proves its real
character. Far and wide in
the realms of paganism was this birthday
observed." The Two Babylons;
Alexander Hislop p.93
It can be clearly demonstrated from
Scripture that
Yeshua Mashiyach was not born in the winter, but during the
Fall Feasts. Since
YHWH has in no way authorized the celebration of
Christmas or even Birthdays, so
who induced Christians to do so? As
early as the first century Apostle
Paul rebuked Gentile followers of
Mashiyach for attempting to incorporate
paganism into the True Faith.
Galatians 4:8-11 "Howbeit then, when you knew not Elohim,
you did
service unto them which by nature are no gods. But now, after
that you
have known Elohim, or rather are known of Elohim, how turn you
again to the weak
and beggarly elements, whereunto you desire again to be in
bondage? You
observe days, and months, and times, and years. I
am afraid of you, lest I
have bestowed upon you labour in vain."
Paul's letter was not heeded by the
Church, in the
year 230 C.E. the Christian "Church Father" Tertullian
wrote:
"By us [Gentile Christians] who are strangers to
(Jewish)
Sabbaths, and new moons, and festivals, once acceptable to G-d, the
Saturnalia,
the feasts of January, the Brumalia, and Matronalia are now
frequented, with
gifts being carried to and fro."
Tammuz was worshipped as god incarnate,
which
implied that he was an incarnation of the "Lord of the heavens," since
the sun
begins to grow stronger after 25th of December, this date came to be
known as
the rebirth of Nimrod and of the Sun. In ancient Rome this day was
known as
"Natalis Invicti Solis", the birthday of the unconquered sun.
Lights were
kindled then to burn until the 6th of January (Epiphany).
The week long
feast of Saturnalia, was held at the time of the winter
solstice, accompanied
with much merrymaking, wild revelry and
debauchery. In an effort to obtain
more converts to Roman Christianity
it was policy for the papacy to amalgamate
heathen festivals with
Christendom. Pope Gregory wrote to Augustine the first
missionary to the
British Isles (C.E. 597):
"Do not destroy the temples of the English gods;
change
them to Christian churches. Do not forbid the "harmless"
customs which
have been associated with the old religions; consecrate them
to Christian
use."
Sir James Fraser in "The Golden Bough" writes:
"Thus it appears that the Christian Church chose
to
celebrate the birthday of its founder on the 25th of December in order to
transfer the devotion of the heathen from the sun to him who was called the
Sun
of Righteousness. If that was so, there can be no intrinsic
improbability
in the conjecture that motives of the same sort may have led
the ecclesiastical
authorities to assimilate the Easter festival of the
death and resurrection
of their Lord to the festival of the death and
resurrection of another
Asiatic god which fell in the same season."
The name "Christmas" first appeared around
450 C.E.
when Pope Julius decreed that all Christians must celebrate the
birthday of
Christ at the same time that the heathen were celebrating the
pagan Saturnalia
feast. It was designated as "Christe-masse", or
Christ's mass.
Sadly, there are precious few true
Christians who
know that the origin of the "Christmas tree" is from Babylon
mystery religion,
many believe the tree originated among Christians in
Europe. But there are
even more precious few Christians who know
better and who speak out to warn
others against the dangers of sentimental
agreements with paganism. The
decorated tree represents Tammuz (which
also means a sprout) hasatan's
counterfeit of "The Branch". (Hebrew: NETZER;
a shoot; or a sprout) The
Mashiyach was prophetically called "The Root
out of dry ground" Isaiah 11:1;
53:2; Jeremiah 23:5; Zechariah
6:12 "Behold the man whose name is
The Branch". Ancient coins
have been found picturing a tree stump which
represented dead Nimrod and a
small tree growing nearby which represented
Tammuz. The
Egyptians used the palm tree; the Romans a pine tree. The
"Xmass tree" as
worshipped by idolatrous Israelites is described in Jeremiah
10.
Mistletoe and holly figured prominently in the early Anglo-Saxon and
Druidic
tree worship.
Jeremiah 10:1-5 "Hear ye the word which YHWH speaks to
you, O house of
Israel: Thus says YHWH, learn not the way of the
heathen, and be not
dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are
dismayed at them. For
the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts
a tree out of the forest, the
work of the hands of the workman, with the
axe. They deck it with silver
and with gold; they fasten it with nails
and with hammers, that it move
not. They are upright as the palm tree,
but speak not: they must needs be
borne, because they cannot go. Be not
afraid of them; for they cannot do evil,
neither also is it in them to do
good."
Clearly Jeremiah records a vivid
depiction of a tree
that is cut down from the forest, erected and decorated
for a religious
celebration. Ezekiel shows how YHWH's people sorely
grieved Him by
adopting the "imagery" of Tammuz which now has become the
decorated Christmas
tree.
Ezekiel 8:11-14 "Then said He unto me, Son of man, have you
seen what the
ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in
the chambers of his
imagery? For they say, "YHWH does not see us; YHWH
has forsaken the
earth." He said also unto me, turn yet again, and you
shall see greater
abominations that they do. Then He brought me to the door
of the gate of YHWH'S
house which was toward the north; and, behold, there
sat women weeping for
Tammuz."
Part of Tammuz worship was to place
golden balls on
the tree which were representative of the testicles of
Tammuz, as he was also
considered a god of sex. The women were weeping
because his prostitution
services were no longer available. The whole
hearted believer will not
contribute to the perpetuation of Christmas by
observing it in any manner; he or
she will withdraw in horror from all
pagan-born celebrations revered by a world
that attempted to slay the infant
Messiah with Herod's sword. The blood of
baby boys born in Bethlehem
cries out against the diabolical hatred toward the
infant Saviour whom the
world hated. The Mashiyach was crucified by those
how had a diabolical
hatred for the Way of Righteousness. The world is now
racing towards
the fulfillment of Revelations 11:10 when YHWH's two witnesses
shall be
slain and "they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and
make
merry and shall send gifts to one another."
Dear friends, heed the words of
Apostle Paul, a man
of TRUTH!
Ephesians 5:11 "Have no fellowship with the
unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
The birth of "Jesus" is remembered
each year
but the Name of Yeshua Mashiyach, the Kingdom of Elohim and His
Righteous Torah
are a contemptuous infamy for the lukewarm religious.
The Torah reminds
us:
Exodus 23:2 "You shall not follow a multitude to do evil"
Yeshua Mashiyach said:
Luke 16:15 "That which is highly esteemed among
men is
abominable in the sight of Elohim"
Apostle Paul writes:
Romans 12:2 "Be ye not conformed to this world
but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may know what is
that good
and acceptable and wholehearted will of Elohim."
Please pass this message along to your
family,
friends whether they be Christian, Jewish, Believers or
non-Believers, we have
an obligation to love each other and warn each
other. Delving into pagan
rituals is NOT a light matter, regardless of
one's "intentions"!
Shalom U'Vrachot,
YHWH be with you,
Baruch Ben Daniel
The Three Magi
Some Christians posture that the story of the Magosi or Magi is
either an
insertion in Scripture or that the Magi were pagans.
The Magi refers to the astrologers/astronomers who were originally
taught by
Daniel the Prophet about the coming of Mashiyach.
These men are neither sorcerers nor Pagans, but Fearers of Elohim
who were
patiently awaiting the coming of Mashiyach.
What the Babylonians learned through Daniel was becoming a reality,
they had
traveled to bear witness of Mashiyach's birth
and bring the good news back to their homeland. One of the
titles of
the Mashiyach.
Bar enosh, like Hebrew ben adam, can also mean "Son of man," or
simply
"man." Daniel 7:13, 14.)

CHRISTMAS means "anointed depart". CHRISTOS (Greek)
means
anointed,
MAS (Latin, missa) means depart. It's a fusion word from parts of
two
languages.
A Scythian monk, Dionysius Exiguus, traveled to Rome
Italy in
the
year 525 CE, and was astounded that the Pagan festival of the birth of
the sun, Saturnalia, was being celebrated with great enthusiasm
throughout the city. It probably rivaled the Mardi Gras festival
(another Pagan celebration rooted in the worship / weeping for Tammuz)
seen celebrated in New Orleans. So, to divert this obvious
Pagan
observance toward a more "clean" reason, he promoted the idea to make
it apply to the birth of Yahushua, the Natsari, High Priest, and King
of Kings. December 25 was believe to be "natalis sol invictus", the
birthday of the sun, at the winter solstice. The Pagans used wreaths
to represent the Nativity of the sun, since they were objects
depicting the "womb" of the Earth mother, Asherah (Artemis, Ishtar,
Eastre, Astoreth, etc., the queen of heaven and consort of BAAL.
Another object in common use was a sexual object seen today
as
the
tree, where the ornaments were testicles, the tree a phallus, and the
tinsel representing the "semen of the deity". The star on top
represented the heavenly object of worship, and the tree connected
them to the Earth. By re-inventing the solar/astral symbols to
pertain to the birth of the Mashiach of Israel, Pagans could keep
doing what they were familiar with yet changing the meaning of them on
the surface. This "fossilization" is against Dt. 12, but Yahuah's
Word was not permitted in the hands of the common person.

ASHERAH - THE CHRISTMAS TREE CUSTOM
BAAL & ASHERAH: THE SUN KING & HIS CONSORT
Asherah is known in Scripture as the "Queen of Heaven", and is
called
"Artemis" by the Ephesians in the book of Acts (chapter 19). The
word
"Asherah" is found at least 40 times in the TaNaKh*, and refers to a
wooden object used in worship of a consort of BAAL, known by the name
of ASHERAH.
The image of Asherah was a tree (a date palm) used by the Pagan
Canaanites and Phoenicians. One of these Pagan Phoenicians was
"Jezebel" (Izebel), who married Ahab, king of Israel (Samaritan king).
When northern Israel was dispersed into the nations by the
Assyrians
in 722 BCE, they carried this "tree" custom with them. The lost
tribes of dispersed Israel have preserved one of their most cherished
Pagan customs among them: the Christmas tree.
"Izebel" is also
referred to at Rev. 2, and her "teachings". The Greeks gave the
"Phoenicians" their name, Phoenicia, which means "date palm". They
called themselves Sidonians or Tyreans, after their city-states of
Tyre and Sidon. Their "date palms" were called ASHERIM, and Izebel
taught this practice to northern Israel through her marriage to
Ahab.
Asherah was the "Queen of Heaven" (see Jer. chaps. 7 & 44). Now,
read
specifically how the Creator feels about it:
Deut 7:26:
" Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or
YOU, like
IT,
will be set apart for destruction. Utterly abhor and detest it, for
it is set apart for destruction." (Look at the verses around Rev.
2:20, again we see Izebel's influences)
Yahuah distinctly warned Israel to not erect an Asherah next to His
altar, nor bring a "detestable thing" into your house. Even though
YOU may not remember what it represented long ago, Yahuah hasn't
forgotten at all. He does not change.
As some have said, the Asherah is a deal-breaker with Yahuah - He
won't stand for it. He dispersed the northern tribes of Israel into
the nations, and they have lived as Pagans for 2700+ years. They left
Yahuah's Covenant, but they have held fast to the Asherim (plural of
Asherah).
"ASHER" is a Hebrew term meaning "happy", and is a word used as a
proper noun, the father of the tribe of Asher (alef-shin-resh).
This
term was modified, and became the word "ASHERAH", a proper name used
by Pagans for the female consort of Baal (Celtic Bel). Baal/Asherah
worship is clearly seen during the time of "Elijah" (ElYahu), when 450
prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah assembled at Mt. Carmel,
and ElYahu (Elijah) challenged them to decide whether Yahuah is
Elohim, or Baal (and his consort, Asherah).
A sister asked the following questions regarding Asherim:
Having read
and re-read The Scriptures over seven times..... I have read about the
Asherah hundreds of times.
1. What is an
asherah?
Answer: The adversary misled
mankind
with various fertility rites,
and receives "worship" through these rites. Yahuah doesn't
provide
us with the details of the heathen rites, but we know
generally from Scripture they performed their rituals in forests or
"groves".
The word "Asherah" is often translated as
"groves". He mentions
how the Israelites would bring "Asherim" and put them near His Hekal
(Temple), behavior which we see inherited
as the "Christmas
Tree". Most probably the trees used were date
palms. Modern witchcraft and Satanism in general follow most
closely
to the worship of Asherah. The name is most likely directly related
to Ishtar, and Artemis, worshipped by modern day witches as well as
the ancient Ephesians (Acts 19:28). Stumps of trees found in
groves
were also used as the altars of Asherah, which may be directly related
to the fallen Nimrod, cut down by Shem (as tradition informs us).
The
purpose of the tree object was to display the fertility emblems
(phallus, testes, semen) in the pole, balls, and tinsel, but the
object was also a type of ALTAR, where offerings and sacrifices were
placed. This is how people have come to place the wrapped "presents"
beneath the tree, and bowing to it as they do so. Generations of
people have been deceived with this behavior for thousands of
years.
While it is easier to see that the imagery associated with Halloween
and Easter stem from Paganism, the words "Christmas tree" seem to
cleanse the object of any former Satanic origin, but this is all part
of the scheme. The "boughs" of holly were Saturn's emblem.
The
two
swooping curves of holly are breasts, and wreath is the womb. All
of
these items used for decoration have significant meaning to the Pagan,
the nativity of Sol Invictus - and must have no part in our
lives.
2.
What
does she look like?
The "Maypole" was originally a huge wooden phallus, and people would
dance around it, wrapping it in colorful ribbons as they worshipped
their sex deity, Asherah. It was later simplified into a pole, and
it's previous meanings have been veiled in ignorance through tradition
and denial. Look carefully, and you'll see there is a boy and a
girl
closely aligned to the pole, being told to stand there, yet being
completely unaware of the significance of the setting they are at the
center of. This is why Pagan worship is called "occult"
--
the true
meaning of things is "hidden" from view, yet in plain sight to those
who are initiated to the secrets.
3. Where can I find pictures of her?
4. Why is it so
difficult to do research on an asherah?
Answer: Images of Asherah vary. One example is the "pole"
above,
and
you can see photos of many alternate ancient versions of this deity on
several popular witchcraft web sites (not that I'm endorsing
witchcraft, but they do worship Asherah and some display the symbols
that represent her).
Yahuah has not wanted His people to study this demonic
worship,
yet
it persists today. The most insidious part is right out in
the
open,
and not "occult" (hidden) at all: the Christmas tree
object! A more
secretive side is also growing in popularity. In fact, it is the
most
popular fad among teens and young adults today. The reason it is not
very easy to learn about is mostly because it is "occult" (hidden);
it has been so since
the patterns of worshipping the adversary went
"underground" after the
execution of Nimrod. They had once practiced their
rebellion
openly, but then withdrew into secrecy to hide their worship
behind symbolism, which could only be interpreted correctly by those
initiated in the occult. One dominant pattern found in occultic
behavior is the matrilinear (mother-goddess) ideal. Rebellion
against Yahuah is accentuated by this matrilinear focus, as opposed to
the patrilinear - so we see the moon being used to represent
the
female astrologically.
People imagine "sin" lurking in men's hearts over many issues. Some
even believe that celebrating Hanukkah might be "adding" to Torah, and
therefore is sinful. In all of Scripture, Hanukkah is mentioned
once
(if one ignores Maccabees I & II), at Yn. 10:22. So, Hanukkah is
found in Scripture, yet "Christmas" is not. If a person shuns
Christmas, and begins to celebrate Hanukkah, it will have consequences
for them. Relatives and friends will shun or persecute them
for
it,
thinking they have become influenced by radical ideas. Christmas
has
been celebrated for 5000 years by Pagans, it simply has a new name and
application. The Romans used "womb-wreaths" at Saturnalia, so what
could these possibly have to do with Yahuah's people?
Although the original concept of Asherim worship has
remained
hidden from the general public, I feel that the acceptance of the
solstice tree is drawn directly from the Pagan worship, transformed
for public consumption. The Asherim were considered altars in
themselves also, where animals and humans were ritually
sacrificed.
This altar could take the form of a tree stump, with the trunk
snapped-off, leaving jagged spike-like splinters. The
Christmas
tree
phenomenon is also a type of altar, where gifts and offerings are
placed. (Easter is a word derived from Ishtar, Astoreth, and
Astarte.
Tree worship is the most prominent feature, however the serpent gets
involved also. It seems that the adversary has the tree and the
serpent seared into "his" mind indelibly. A serpent around a
stump
is one of the symbols we find used in ancient Pagan
religions.
The
Tree of Life (ets chayim) and the Tree of the knowledge of good and
evil may be the sources this fallen being is borrowing from in the
design of the false worship. But we know it is forbidden to
worship
Yahuah in any false or perverted manner. Rebellion is as the
sin
of
witchcraft, and we certainly know that any involvement with Asherim is
witchcraft. Some have even suggested that the symbol of "the cross"
may have been a style of Asherah pole used by certain Pagans, and that
it was brought into the mixed worship of Christianity. Certainly,
the
Christmas tree is considered a "Christian" symbol, yet the common
culture has no idea how it actually relates to anything associated
with Yahuah, or "Santa Claus" for that matter!
"For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure
or
greedy
person-such a man is an idolater -has any inheritance in the
kingdom
of (Mashiach) and of (Elohim). Let no one deceive you with empty
words, for because of such things (Eloah's) wrath comes on those who
are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with
them.
For you were once darkness, but now you are light
in the
(Master). Live as children of light (for the fruit of
the
light
consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out
what
pleases the (Master). Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of
darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention
what the disobedient do in secret . But everything exposed by the
light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything
visible.
Eph 5:5-14
BAAL & ASHERAH HAD A "SHOWDOWN" WITH YAHUAH,
REMEMBER? 1 Kings
18:16-21:
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet
Elijah. When he saw Elijah, he said to him, "Is that you, you troubler
of Israel?"
"I have not made trouble for Israel," Elijah replied. "But you and
your father's family have. You have abandoned Yahuah’s commands and
have followed the Baals. Now summon the people from all over Israel to
meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty
prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at
Jezebel's table."
So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets
on
Mount Carmel. Elijah went before the people and said,
"How long will you waver between two opinions? If Yahuah is
Elohim,
follow Him; but if Baal is Elohim, follow him."
WREATH, ORNAMENTS, AND SCHEDULING OF MAIN PAGAN EVENTS:
The round wreath symbolized the sun, and at the same time the
“womb”,
both thought of as symbols of fertility to Pagans.
The sun was “male”, but “his” symbol was that of the female.
The
vertical tree was decorated with male symbols of fertility, testes
(balls), yet was the image of the “female”, connecting the heavens to
the Earth. This consort of Baal was worshipped as Asherah, Astarte,
Artemis, Athena, Isis, Gaia, Nana, Austron, Ostara, Eastre, Easter,
Aphrodite, Eostre, Astoreth, Ishtar, Diana, Ninurta, Cres, Nut, Venus,
Indrani, Devaki, Tanit, and others. This "tree" was named Asherah
in
the Hebrew Scriptures, and her worship continued as we see recorded in
the book of Acts, chapter 19. She is still worshipped today by
Wiccans, and other Earth Mother cults. The Vernal Equinox pointed
to
the impregnation of the Earth Mother, and the Winter Solstice pointed
to the birth of Baal, the sun, showing the human gestation cycle of
nine months. It was all about fertility, and sex. Even the
custom
of
throwing rice at the newlyweds is a fertility-driven act, and you can
only guess what the rice really represents.
The round ornaments represented the testes as mentioned, and have
also
come to be known as "witch balls". It would be interesting to
see
what a "theologian" might use as an excuse for all this, wouldn't it?
(Also, see article www.fossilizedcustoms.com/seeds.html)
Jer/YermeYahu 10:1-5:
Hear what Yahuah says to you, O house of Israel. This is what
Yahuah
says:
"Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in
the
sky,
though the nations are terrified by them. For the customs of
the
peoples are worthless;
they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with
his
chisel.
They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and
nails so it will not totter. Like a scarecrow in a melon patch,
their
idols cannot speak; they must be carried because they cannot walk.
Do not fear them; they can do no harm, nor can they do any
good."
Deut 12:29-32:
"Yahuah your Elohim will cut off before you the nations you are
about
to invade and dispossess. But when you have driven them out and
settled in their land, and after they have been destroyed before
you,
be careful not to be ensnared by inquiring about their elohim, saying,
"How do these nations serve their elohim? We will do the
same."
You
must not worship Yahuah your Elohim in their way, because in
worshiping their elohim, they do all kinds of detestable things Yahuah
hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as
sacrifices to their elohim."
Deut 16:21-22:
"Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole beside the altar you build
to
Yahuah your Elohim, and do not erect a sacred stone, for these
Yahuah
your Elohim hates."
Asherah poles are a deal-breaker with Yahuah. Learn NOT the
ways of
the heathen, and do not bring a detestable thing into your home!
Deut 7:26:
"Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or
you, like
it, will
be set apart for destruction. Utterly abhor and detest it, for it
is
set apart for destruction."
More details if you can bear them:
The tree, and the ornaments on the Asherah tree, have specific
meanings to them. The tree is a "phallus", the male reproductive
member. The little balls are testicles, and the "tinsel" represents
the semen of the deity being worshipped. During the late middle ages,
the little balls were interpreted by Christians to be "witch balls",
borrowed from witchcraft, to attract, then capture "evil" spirits.
Where, exactly, did Yahuah tell us to do that? The wreath was used
to
represent the male deity, the sun, yet was the "womb" symbol. So, the
male deity's symbol incorporated the feminine features, while the
female's sign incorporated the masculine features. Similarly, a
"witch" is seen utilizing the male characteristics of the pointed hat
and broomstick - both male features.
These "figures" were clear to the initiated, but to the uninitiated
they meant nothing. Now, the secrets are being shouted from the
rooftops, eh? Christians went deeper and deeper into apostasy as
they
ADOPTED the Pagan customs from those around them. The green ivy and
holly were common symbols of "Saturn", the Roman deity. Early
believers thought that if they decorated their homes with these
trappings, they would appear to be conforming to the Pagan culture as
everyone around them was observing Saturnalia. Thus they would
"blend-in", and they would suffer less persecution. As time passed,
the custom became part of the Christian world, and you will see the
wreaths and Asherim trees in their assemblies and homes today. If
we
don't "join-in" with the celebration, we're considered to be freaks,
or "Scrooges" - bah! Humbug it all truly is! Now,
many centuries
later, the doctrinal offspring of those who might have been persecuted
for avoiding these Pagan traditions, believe that we who do not adopt
them are in a "cult". It's not them, but Father Yahuah that we
would
not wish to offend. We know His heart, and He has called us to "Come
out of her" (Rev. 18).
The word "PAGAN" comes from the Latin word, pagus, and referred to
a
person that was from the "rural" hinterlands. The more educated,
erudite, urban-dwellers viewed those who were "pagus" as
superstitious, illiterate imbeciles because they had quaint beliefs
about the world, especially the unseen, spiritual world. As the
darkness of the world without the Torah of Yahuah became increased,
those who thought themselves to be wise were themselves fools.
"Pagan" became a label for anything that was outside the accepted
religious practices of those in the majority who practiced the
universalized state religion, which after Constantine was termed
"Christian", the Roman word for "universal".
As you see them decorating with the boughs, wreaths, trees,
and
holly, you might help them to repent of this behavior by explaining
what these things actually are, or sending them this web page. The
trappings themselves are set apart for destruction, and those who
decorate with them are set apart for destruction as well. All of it
together is witchcraft, and blatant idolatry.
When will Ephraim repent of this idolatry?
Matt. 24: the End of Days, and the times of the Gentiles (Ephraim
is
sown among the Gentiles)
The really powerful point I draw first from this
whole text is that
Yahushua is describing the extreme last days.
He begins by saying
that
the massive stones will be leveled, and this
happened in 70 CE - but then He moves into
more calamity
that
follows. Ultimately He describes how a great
tribulation will occur which could only be
compared with the time of
creation itself. He declares that if the
days of this tribulation were not shortened, then
NO FLESH would
survive
at all. But, for the sake of the Elect (those
qodeshim observing His Torah) who are still
on Earth enduring to the
end,
He would shorten the days. So, what He
is indicating here is obviously the
extreme end times, just prior to
His
return - which are the days we
now live in. In the midst of this, He orders us to pray that our
flight
will not be in winter or on a Sabbath day. So, the
Sabbath
is still
in force in the extreme last days, not changed as
most have been
taught. But there is more to understand here. The
lost sheep scattered in 722 BCE are to come to their senses after 2730
years.
The prophecy at Ez. 4:4,5 concerning the exile of
the
lost sheep of
the house of Israel (Samaritans driven into the nations in 722 BCE)
shows us that 390 years was the original prescribed penalty for their
Baal/Asherah worship. Having not repented after 390 years in
captivity, the northern tribes then had to endure the seven-fold
increase of the 390-year penalty (see Lev. 26:27,28).
This
means that 7 x 390 years from 722 BCE (2730 years), Israel's
punishment will be lifted, and Ephraim will cry out to return to the
Torah. (see YermeYahu 31).
About when is this cry to take
place? They've been living among the
Gentiles with their Asherim (Christmas trees) for 2730 years as of the
Roman year 2008. The olive tree's blossoming will indicate that
Yahushua's Return is imminent!
We are praying that our flight will
not be
in winter or on a Sabbath
because of the hardship it will cause the weak among us.
The
flight will be caused by a great distress that is apparently
planet-wide, and may include nuclear fallout:
Matt 24:15-27
"So when you see standing in the holy place
'the
abomination that
causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel-let the
reader understand- then let those who are in Yahudah flee to the
mountains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take
anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get
his
cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and
nursing mothers! Pray that your flight will not take place in winter
or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great distress, unequaled
from the beginning of the world until now-and never to be equaled
again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive,
but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. At that
time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Mashiach!' or, 'There
he is!' do not believe it. For false Mashiachim and false prophets
will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the
elect-if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time.
"So if anyone tells you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not
go
out; or, 'Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. For
as
lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so
will be the coming of the Son of Man."
Now consider Revelation, and
the
mentioning of Izebel and "sexual"
immorality:
Rev 2:18-3:1
"To the messenger of the assembly in Thyatira write:
These are the words of the Son of Yahuah, whose eyes are like
blazing
fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your
love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now
doing more than you did at first.
Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman
Izebel,
who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my
servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to
idols. I have given her time (390 years?) to repent of her
immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of
suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer
intensely, unless they repent of her ways (read Ps. 80). I will
strike her children dead. Then all the assemblies will know that I
am
he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you
according to your deeds. Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to
you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-
called deep secrets (I will not impose any other burden on you).
(Satan’s Deep secrets like womb-wreaths, phallus-trees, and the
ornaments of the Asherim). Only hold on to what you have until I
come.
To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give
authority over the nations- 'He will rule them with an iron scepter;
he will dash them to pieces like pottery'- just as I have received
authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning star. He
who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”
ASHERAH: THE CHRISTMAS TREE CONNECTION
IS "ALLAH" THE SAME BEING AS YAHUAH? (CAUTION: below
are shocking
images!)
To answer this, all one has to do is consider the source of some of
the practices. Here's one to look at:
The followers of Yahuah do not practice the customs of Baal /
Asherah
worship. When the worshippers of Baal/Asherah implored their false
mighty-one to answer them by fire, they cut themselves:
1Kings 18:28: "And they cried aloud, and CUT THEMSELVES AFTER THEIR
MANNER WITH KNIVES AND LANCETS, till the blood gushed out upon them."
Here is what some Shiite Muslims do:
"The 6-year-old boy screamed and shook his head to avoid the razor
blade. But his father held him firmly as Hajj Khodor parted the
boy’s
black hair and sliced his forehead three times with the blade.
Ali Madani’s cries became more violent as blood gushed from the
wound,
covering his small, terrified face.
His father and a few other men, waving daggers, broke into a
religious
chant, recalling how the 7th-century Shiite Muslim saint, Imam
Hussein, was decapitated, his head placed on a lance.
In marking the holiest day of Ashura, some Shiites believe children
should learn at an early age about Hussein’s suffering, which is at
the heart of their faith.
Hajj Khodor, wrapped in white and wearing a white turban, said he
has
done cuttings on boys as young as 1-month-old and men as old as 100.
Asked if it was difficult for him to hurt the children, he said:
“The
child doesn’t understand what’s going on. The parents are faithful
and believe by doing this, their children will be protected and will
enjoy a long life.”
(quote taken from
amren.com/mtnews/archives/2007/02/childrens_foreh.php, 3-6-2007)
Not all Muslims practice this; however it seems to echo the type of
behavior seen in the priests of Baal / Asherah.
By the way, they do this on the "holiest day" of "Ashura".
This word
seems very close to the word "Asherah".
It's interesting that the original "Asherah" image worshipped by
the
Canaanites was a "date palm" tree.
An emblem is used in the Islamic faith, and it contains, by some
strange coincidence, a date palm tree.

CHRISTMAS (CHRIST'S MASS) QUESTIONS
Subject: Christmas – a
few
questions about it asked recently of Lew
White
Message from (name deleted): "This appears to be my
year
to break away
from observing christmas. From what I have studied I believe that
ceasing to observe christmas is part of "Coming out of her". I believe
that I have been called to stop participating in this man-made holiday
and to start observing the appointed times of Yahuah. I have already
told my parents and grandmother and I can not say that this was an
easy thing to do. It was met with sadness as I expected. I just now
informed my wife's mother over the phone and she basically said that
she "didn't feel her daughter should be with someone who doesn't want
to be her family on christmas". She doesn't understand why I cannot at
least be with the family on that day. Forsaking christmas has been a
process over the past few years. I know that there is no way that I
would be able to confront these people in my life if it were not for
His strength and encouragement. If I were to ignore Yahuah's desire, I
will live as a miserable coward not worthy of what He has called me
to. I also believe that this is a test and that Yahuah can use my
obedience to Spiritually benefit my family. I am assuming that you
were brought up in a family that celebrated christmas. If this was the
case, do you mind sharing with me a little about your experience with
your family when you stopped participating in christmas?"
1) I
believe that I am to cease from having anything to do with
christmas, even if that means not even eating with my family. Would
you say this is accurate?
2) Will you share with me some about
your
experience with your family
when you stopped participating in christmas?
Dear brother
(name
deleted),
Like most people, I was raised celebrating Christmas as
the
“birthday
of the Savior”. This practice under other names has been observed by
Pagans as the rebirth of the sun deity for approximately 3000 years.
The last big shift in the meaning or application of the solstice
festival occurred in about 525 CE (AD), when Dionysius Exiguous (a
monk) was appalled at what he discovered being celebrated at Rome upon
his visitation there. He saw the raw, Pagan festival of Saturnalia in
full swing. He was from Scythia, north of the Black Sea, an area once
occupied by the northern tribes of Israel that had fled there from the
land of Samaria in 722 BCE, driven out by the Assyrians. He recognized
Pagan behavior, but chose to simply divert the “meaning” of the
practice toward the birth of Yahushua, instead of the sun.
The
worship of
Baal and his consort Asherah was wrapped-up in the
practice and symbols of this festival originally dedicated to the re-
birth of the sun deity, being nine months from the springtime
fertility festival of Ishtar (Easter), a time when the sun was
believed to impregnate the Earth with the rays of the solar disc. As
Christianity developed, these formerly Pagan festivals became
reinvented so the idolatry would be concealed, down-played, or cloaked
beneath new meanings - they essentially put lipstick on a pig and
kissed it, believing it had changed into a beautiful woman. The Jesuit
practice of “casuistry” (google that term) makes it possible to think
about something in a completely new way, rationalizing and justifying
it, so adapting a Pagan practice is thought to be “cleansed” as
acceptable as long as the camouflage covers the old ideas well enough.
The wreath is a symbol of a womb, the tree is a phallus, and the balls
are testacles -- all liberally sprinkled with the tinsel which
represents the semen of the solar deity. These symbols are only “seen”
for what they really are by those initiated in the occult, yet
Yahushua told us that what is whispered in secret will be shouted from
the rooftops. To the Canaanites, the tree was worshipped as Asherah,
and gifts were brought into the “groves” of trees and placed beneath
them as offerings.
Goliath of Gath (a Philistine/Palestinian)
would
have certainly used
the tree, balls, Easter baskets, and Maypoles seen today. All of this
is specifically against Dt. 12:28-32, but it is all well camouflaged
and promoted to apply to the Messiah of Israel throughout the entire
world. People can live in denial of the truth for their entire lives,
but most never have the opportunity to learn there is anything
wrong.
My parents and other family thought I had come in
contact
with a
“cult” or had lost my mind when I first stopped going to the Christmas
Day family get-togethers around 1986. They still don’t understand any
better after over 20 years, but I always have hope they will come to
understand my motivation for avoiding the Pagan practices specifically
condemned by the Creator, Yahuah.
All I can do is encourage you to avoid idolatry in all its forms (Acts
15:29), and embrace the faith once delivered to the saints, Yahuah’s
Torah (the Covenant), which Yahushua seeks to write upon a believer’s
heart.
In answer to your first question, I’d say that
Yahushua
would not go
to a party or gathering that people were having that had at one time
been based on sun worship (Baal), or excuse it like the Jesuits with
mental acrobatics (casuistry). So, completely ignoring the man-made
“Christmas Day” is the best decision considering we’re going to have
to give an account to the Creator of the heavens and the Earth one
day.
We also have to warn those who engage in such things, otherwise
their
blood (on the day of judgment) will be upon our heads.
Needless
to
say, those who practice Christmas Day, Sun-day, and
Easter Day are not exactly thrilled to hear about the true origins of
the days from people like us. They feel we are judgmental, harsh, and
no fun to be around. What they don’t see in us is the incredible
freedom and clean-feeling we have because we have resisted the
harlotry of idolatrous practices. We’re strange to them, and probably
have the stench of the Messiah upon us. Peter told the former Pagans
not to fall back into their idolatry, as a pig that has been bathed
would return to wallowing in the mud, or a dog would return to that
which it had once vomited up:
2Pe 2:21, 22:“For it would
have
been better for them not to have known
the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the set-
apart common delivered to them. For them the proverb has proved
true:
‘A dog returns to his own vomit,’ and, ‘A washed sow returns to her
rolling in the mud.’”

THE REAL CHRIST-MASS STORY IN THE BIBLE
IS NEVER ACTUALLY
READ BY
MINISTERS AT CHRISTMAS
You probably already know Christmas is a Lie.
You obviously
know there is
no Santa Clause (if you are old enough to
read this).
You probably already know Jesus wasn't born on December
25th.
And you probably already know the date was really based on the
winter
solstice.
But you probably don't know WHY this lie is
told...
And though a
lie, YET believed and practiced anyway.
And that
is the biggest part of the
Christmas lie that is a lie.
The lie that is being told at Christmas is not simply a
harmless
little benevolent lie,
Told to entertain children.
It is a
WHOPPER.
Told to deceive adults.
How big a WHOPPER will leave you in shock and disbelief.
You
will
swear the truth simply cannot be what it apparently is.
And you will
look for
excuses, rationalizations and even consider the
cost of simple denial,
When you read what you are about to read.
But it is all true.
Whether you admit it or not, it is
true,
Whether you believe it or not, it will still be true,
Agree with
it
or not, it will not matter.
It is the same truth, that has been true,
For 4000
years.
And gave
birth to not only the world's three largest
religions,
Judaism, Christianity
and Islam,
But even the founding of
America itself.
What you are about to read,
Is the truth about
Christmas,
That no
one is ever allowed to tell.
And until the age of
the internet,
Most were never allowed to hear.
Not by their
Ministers,
Not by
their school teachers,
Not in their Churches,
Not
on their TVs,
Not on
the News,
Not even on the educational
channels,
And some, not by their
governments.
It exists in parts and pieces throughout any common
library,
Shadows
and shapes of it will occasionally surface,
Fragments
like broken bits of
tiny glass left on the floor,
That you don't see
until you happen to step on
it,
And suddenly become aware of something
painful.
THE CHRISTMAS STORY is in the Bible.
Every year, you will
hear
Ministers get up and read from the Bible at
Christmas.
But the oddest thing about THE CHRISTMAS STORY
Is that
the
Ministers never read the parts of the Bible that actually
speak about CHRISTMAS.
Instead they read about the Birth of Christ.
All
along
admitting they know he wasn’t really born then,
and isn’t really
the reason
for their Christ-mass?
Except he is. But he isn't. But he
should be,because
he is. But he isn't.
And the shocking and perhaps most unbelievable thing about
Christmas,
Is that it existed before Christ was ever born.
Not only
did it
exist before he was born.
But it existed before he was born by
thousands of
years.
In fact, Christmas was celebrated before the time of
Abraham.
It
was already being celebrated when Abraham was called out of
Ur.
And all of the parts of the Bible that speak about
Christmas,
Which span throughout the entire Bible,
From Genesis to
Revelation,
Are precisely the parts your Minister will never read at
Christmas?
Instead they read about the birth of Christ,
Knowing he
wasn't born
then.
Knowing no one who ever followed him did such a
thing.
Knowing they
do what he never commanded or even requested.
Instead he reads all the parts that have nothing to do with
Christmas.
Things that happened in other parts of the year,
In the
context
of other events and festivals and even people.
But he will never
read at
Christmas, the parts of the Bible,
The Prophets and Apostles
actually wrote
about Christmas.
Some knowing he actually forbade it.
But they do it never-the-less... "for him".
Because they
love him so
much, they do not care what he said.
Or who he really
was,
Or when he was
really born,
Or what his name really was,
Or
what he even really looked
like.
Much less, what he really wanted.
They are good Christians.
And want to force all of the
country,
Through the penalty and punishment of law,
To be good
Christians
just like themselves.
Because they love the person born at
Christmas so
much,
Who really wasn't born at Christmas.
That they do not care
what he really thought,
what he
really
taught,
who he really was,
when he was really born,
what
his
religion really was,
what he really looked like,
or even what
his name
...really was?
They love him so much.
In FACT, These Ministers love him so much,
They will never
read the
parts of the Bible he actually spoke
About this time of year and
it's
practices.
Because if he did...
You would probably get up and walk out
the door
of his Church.
Because you love him too.
And that is why He
never reads
these texts.
And why you have never heard THE CHRISTMAS
STORY,
...THE REAL
CHRISTMAS STORY that is.
THE CHRISTMAS STORY you have heard,
Is the one they tell you
as a
known lie,
But ask you not to mind that it is a lie,
Nor look too
closely
at the lie, they tell you they are telling you,
To keep from
having to tell
you the truth.
But when you find out THE TRUTH this lie is told to cover
up,
You will
realize why people (Americans and Christians) not only
risked
their lives,
But even died to escape it.
Yes died. It is in fact
that
serious.
At least to the Christians who founded the majority of
America's once
Protestant faiths,
And even America's own Founding Fathers.
These are
the "Christians" that founded America.
And they were literally dying to
escape Christmas.
The same who are now quoted by "good Christians"
who say they love
their country,
just like they do the person born on December 25th,
who
wasn't,
but was,
but anyway they don't care.
HOW STRANGE ISN'T IT?
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE?
It is a "Mystery" isn't it !
....a "Mystery" that stretches
all the
way back to ancient Babylon
CHRISTMAS DID NOT COME FROM CHRIST
THINK YOU KNOW CHRISTMAS IS A LIE, DO YOU? YOU'VE NOT EVEN
HEARD THE
HALF OF IT. CHRISTMAS IS THE MOST DEADLY LIE ON EARTH. IT'S EXISTENCE
STRETCHES BACK TO THE BEGINNING OF HISTORY WAY BEFORE CHRISTIANITY AND
IT HAS SHAPED THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD INCLUDING THE FOUNDING OF
AMERICA
The Christmas Lie is MUCH BIGGER Than You Think.
IT'S ABOUT
THE
HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION.
...and THIS is what they DON'T WANT YOU TO
KNOW
about it.
CHRISTMAS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL CHRIST OF THE BIBLE
It
was
celebrated before he was ever born and would be celebrated in
much the same way as it is today, if he had never even existed!
Because what you are worshipping on this day, is NOT CHRIST. They just
TOLD YOU it was, so you would do it as a "Christian" without
complaint.
DECEMBER 14TH, 1971CONGRESSIONAL RECORD E13461
in defense of the
state's
observance of Christ-Mass, it was openly
declared and publically recorded in our own Public Congressional
Record (Congressional Record E13461 December 14, 1971), that Christ-
Mass was neither a "Christian" holy day, nor begun by
Christianity.
"As
Christmas comes down to us today it is a rich heritage
of customs,
traditions, folklore, and legend, drawn from many lands and people ---
The idea of celebrating on or about December 25 was born among ancient
people long before the birth of Christ. In Rome, it was the 'dies
natalis invieti solis'- the birthday of the unconquered Sun. In the
same manner, other customs originally pagan in origin have been
assimilated into our Christmas heritage -- the decorative tree, the
glowing candles, the story of Santa, stockings by the fireplace,
greeting cards, yule logs -- all are now associated with the birthday
of Christ."
CHRISTMAS DID NOT COME FROM THE REAL CHRISTAND IT DOES
NOT
"HONOR" OR
"REMEMBER" HIMIT REPLACES HIM WITH AN "IMAGE" WHO IS ACTUALLY
APOLLYON
Like every lie, THE CHRISTMAS LIE has been CRAFTED to HIDE
THE
TRUTH
about somethingand what it is HIDING is REALLY THE FIRST THING you
SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT IT!BY YOUR PROTESTANT MINISTER !!!
WHY DO "CHRISTIAN" MINISTERS LIE ABOUT CHRIST-MASS?
The
following "True
Confession" and "Testimonial" was written by a
former Baptist minister who lost everything as a result of standing
for the truth. Here is part of his story which will resonate with many
who find themselves in similar situations in the Ministry. It
illustrates why in all probability, your Protestant/Evangelical
minister has chosen to lie to you about Christmas, and what happens to
those who DO repent and surrender their will to the REAL CHRIST of the
Bible, and give their lives to God (the real one). Until the body of
people who make up the congregations of these historically
Protestant/Evangelical Churches, institutions and denominations begin
to speak up for their own true theological heritage, their own
history, and their own faiths, you will see why given the options,
most ministers who care more about their careers, than their souls,
will simply sear their conscience and support the lies. If they do
not, they are FIRED! PROTESTANT!
...We grew up celebrating Christmas,
and
December 25th was something
we were trained to look forward to all year long. Every big toy or
present we decided we wanted was deferred and promised to us for
Christmas, which often times we got. As I grew older, I remember
focusing more and more on the spiritual aspect of Christmas. The part
about Christ. The Church functions and activities, etc. I do confess I
did enjoy the music and the nostalgia and reflection of the holiday.
But the commercialism always bothered me, as did the lying to children
about Santa-Clause. I knew there was simply no way to reconcile that
with scripture. I remember when I was in college, while training for
the ministry, reading a book by Alexander Hislop called "The Two
Babylons" and found it absolutely fascinating.
I was blown away
really
how so many things had become part of our
religious traditions that were simply straight out of hell. I was also
a C.H.Spurgeon fan, and ran across his comments about Christmas. The
more I begin to read about it, the more shocked I became about what I
was endorsing to students of my ministry. I finally got to the point I
could no longer in good conscience support this deception. The problem
was of course, that most Baptist denominations now support Christmas.
In fact, they have built much of the Church calendar around Christmas
and holiday activities associated with it. Even certain charity drives
and missionary fund drives are done especially at Christmas. I knew
that I had to make a choice between being a "company man" and going
along with the program, or doing God's will. The more I tried to
justify the compromises, the worse I felt, and the more guilty my own
conscience started to become. It was affecting my spiritual life
definitely. I could actually feel God's presence leaving. That's when
I knew, if I did want to serve God in reality, rather than just
pretend, I simply had no choice.
Well as you can imagine, that was
the
end of my career. But it was a
career that I realize now would have taken me down the road to hell,
even though on the outside, it would all looked quite the opposite.
After you go to college and get your degrees in theology, and then
find yourself in a state of disagreement, there is not much else you
can do with your education. I ran across ministers who didn't believe
in the Bible anymore, didn't believe in the afterlife, I even met one
who admitted in private he was really an atheist or agnostic. But they
were all doing the religious motions externally that kept everyone
happy (like Christmas). I was angry about it for a while. But what has
happened since is that God has tremendously blessed us financially, my
relationship with God is better now than it has ever been, and I have
had a life of ministry since then, that God has richly blessed. And
most importantly of all, I can now speak the truth to those I talk to
about God. The decision I made to withdraw from Christmas was one of
the hardest things I ever did. It cost me what I thought was going to
be my career. That was 30 years ago and the more I have learned about
this subject, the more I am convinced that decision was a pivitol
point in my own salvation. Had I chosen to go the way of the world
with this, there is no doubt in my mind, I would have lost my soul,
and become another angel of the devil that the the Church is now over
-run with. I met one of my freinds from college, years later, who
had
made the decision to keep their job, rather that obey what the Spirit
of God was telling them. This person broke down in tears with me and
asked me to pray for them. They told me that if they were to die in a
car accident on the way back returning to their Church for service,
they really had no assurance in their own heart, they would even be
going to heaven. I do believe this fork in the road can become an
issue in someone's salvation. The Christ they are peddling for
Christmas is not the one in the Bible. It is a phoney fake
commercialized pagan Christ. I'm fairly convinced if I had followed
that one 30 years ago, I would have wound up in the same spiritual
condition as my friend. I hope this encourages others who find
themselves in ministries, to do what they know is right, rather than
what they know will advance their careers.. Because in the end, you
might gain the world, but lose your own soul over it. And that's
simply not worth what you will pay.
If you would like to share your
experiences coming out of Christ-mass,
why you did it, and how, email your story to [email protected]
and we will post it here. All postings will remain anonymous unless
you request otherwise.
WHAT THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY HIDING FROM YOU
IS INEXCUSABLE AND
SHOCKING
BEYOND BELIEF!
You'll understand why THE REAL CHRIST said those who were ALIENATED
from Religion in 1st Century Israel were "BLESSED" (AND YOUR MINISTER
HAS NEVER REALLY TOLD YOU WHY) Because he is now doing the same thing,
only worse!
AND WHY AMERICA'S OWN PILGRIM FOUNDING FATHERS, CHOSE TO RISK THEIR
VERY LIVES FLEEING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC OCEAN TO ESCAPE COMPULSORY
CHRISTMAS IN EUROPE. YOU'LL WANT TO RUN TOO, WHEN YOU FINALLY HEAR THE
TRUTH THAT GAVE BIRTH TO THE FOUNDING FATHERS PILGRIMAGE TO AMERICA IN
SEARCH OF FREEDOM (FROM CHRISTMAS!!!)

MAKE AN EASY $100 DOLLARS !!!
THE $100 DOLLAR CHALLENGE
BETWEEN 65-95 A.D., a prophecy was penned which would later become
part of the New Testament. The prophecy is so specific and
umistakable, it specifies a single person, by name, who would be one
of the most powerful men in the world 300 years before a person of
this exact and specific name appears in history FULFILLING over 40
descriptions of his activity and identity, beyond all odds. No other
world figure of this description in the history of humanity has had
this name, and he was the overseer of one of the most powerful legal
instruments ever created in western civilization, and most Americans,
(and most Christians) have never heard of any of this! This is what
they will not tell you in school because of politics, and they will
not tell you in Church because of something called apostacy. This site
will PAY YOU $100 to find a single instance of another world ruler
with this name, having occured at any time in the history of the human
race. Just one and you get $100.oo. This should be AN EASY $100.oo, if
what they have told you is TRUE.
On the other hand, if you
cannot...
Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of
the
bottomless pit,
whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in
the
Greek tongue
hath his name Apollyon.
THE REASON FOR THE SEASON You will be surprised to discover it had
nothing to do with "Christ". On December 14th, 1971 in defense of the
state's observance of Christ-Mass, it was openly declared and
publically recorded in our own Public Congressional Record
(Congressional Record E13461 December 14, 1971), that Christ-Mass was
neither a "Christian" holy day, nor begun by Christianity. So what
does it have to do with then? The truth is that it revolved around the
worship of an ancient Sun-god known as Apollo, previously Apollon in
Greece (NT=Apollyon), the worship of which, the ancient Roman Ceasar
Constantine was said to have been "addicted". This VERY SUN-GOD is
mentioned BY NAME and condemned in the Scriptures. AND... prophesied
in the New Testament as a FALSE CHRIST which would be the real "deity"
of a Roman-Christian "empire" which would come in "Christ's name", but
would deceive the world into damnation under a "Man of Sin" who would
"speak as God". THE REAL REASON for the season.
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever
and
ever:
and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and
his
ICON
THE CHRIST OF CHRIST-MASS The "Christ" they wish to put "back
into"
Christmas was NEVER the real Christ to begin with. Rome did not even
intend it to the be the REAL CHRIST. It was intended to be a Icon
created by the Roman empire socially and psychologically engineered to
give Rome absolute power over the hearts and minds of a medieval
fascist dictatorship. These well known but rarely discussed historical
facts are shocking. The Christ they wish to "put back" into Christmas
is a FALSE CHRIST everyone would be much better off without, which
worshiping could even endanger one's eternal destiny. Not only was
this Christ intentionally created to be a FALSE CHRIST to replace the
REAL ONE, orders were issued to have every living member of his
natural family exterminated to make sure the Roman Icon went
unchallenged by pesky matters of reality. Find out how the REAL CHRIST
actually prophesied this Roman Icon, and warned anyone patronizing
this violent and cruel deception could be endangering their own
salvation.
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast:
for it is the number of a man;
and his
number is
Six hundred threescore and six.
THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST-MASS We are constantly told the "Spirit of
Christmas" is every ideal of human warmth and kindness to BE
celebrated by all? Jews, Muslims and even Atheists are "expected" to
"join in" without question or hesitation in this "holy day" promoted
by the State. Why is it that NO ONE [including your Pastor] bothers to
ever tell you, the name of the man in Rome who established this "holy
day" as State law, was actually named 666! Literally! And yet most
Christians todsy have never even heard of him! People from all
denominations including Roman Christian CLERGY, who spent centuries
examining and debating these texts, recognized this imperial power as
the "Man of Sin" prophesied to come by the NT and stated so in public
records for nearly 500 consecutive years. The "Christmas" CHRIST was
identified as the prophesied "ICON of the beast" to be worshipped by
force of law, that would lead the world into deception. Before it is
finished the force of that law, will brutally murder more people
throughout history, than any other organization in previous history
Rev 17:4,5 And the woman was arrayed in PURPLE and SCARLET colour,
and
decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden
cup in her
hand full of abominations and filthiness of
her fornication:
And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.
THE CHURCH OF CHRIST-MASS Ever wonder why CHURCHES have STEEPLES on
them? [Old English for "Tower"]? You might be surprised to discover it
has to do with the Roman Christ of Christ-Mass and the same theology
that motivated a Pope to call himself by the name of Sixtus III.
[Literally 666] Constantine intentionally named THE FIRST CHURCH he
built, the THEA SOPHIA, after the False Christ of the Egyptian
gnostics. The CHURCH created to celebrate CHRIST-MASS was ACTUALLY
created to fulfill the roles of the "bride of Christ" and "whore of
Babylon" due to the influence of Eastern Monism prevalent in Roman
"mystery religion" of the era. Leaders in every stream of Christianity
for 5 centuries, including Roman Christian, recognized the hallmarks of
this institution as having fulfilled an ominous prophecy, and went so
far as to warn participation placed everyone in "eternal danger". Thus
creating what we call today, the Protestant Reformation. A movement
begun by Roman Christian clergy, in fear of what they had discovered!
Luk 22:15,20 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat
this PASSOVER with you...
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying,
This cup is the new
testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
THE MASS OF CHRIST-MASS CHRIST-MASS is the central calendar observance
of the Roman Mass. A practice started out of intense anti-Semitic
hatred of Jews, as a substitute for the Passover Seder commanded by
the REAL CHRIST. The real Christ admittedly never had anything to do
with a Mass and not only observed the Seder meal, but commanded his
disciples to do so as well. The Mass, established as a counter to the
Passover, after which [though celebrated by followers of Christ for
centuries] was actually outlawed as a crime against the state of Rome.
The Mass is the ritualistic killing of an enemy of Rome at Saturnalia,
and it's observance is STILL practiced as the killing of Christ to
this day. CHRIST-MASS is actually not "celebrating his birth". It is
"celebrating" his execution Rome itself conducted, and scapegoated
Jews on behalf of, in a doctrine called "blood liable". It was also
the official institutional rejection by Rome, of the very blood and
body of THE REAL CHRIST who was Jewish, and in form, if not letter,
the New Testament version of the "Abomination of Desolation".
Rev 2:15,16 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Repent; or else I will come unto
thee
quickly, and will fight against
them with the sword of my mouth.
THE PATRON SAINT OF CHRIST-MASS The mystery of the "Patron Saint" of
CHRIST-MASS is no mystery. "Saint Nicholas", known as an amibigious
"early saint" who suddenly acquires a new history called "tradition"
in the after-math of the Iconoclast wars in 847 CE. Find out how the
"Patron Saint" of CHRIST-MASS, "Saint Nicolas" was long known before
847 CE and how he, as the association today suggests, is the actual
"founder" of CHRIST-MASS (father Christ-Mass). What you are not told
is that when he "founded" this syncretistic practice between paganism
and NT faith, it was condemned as immoral filth and compared to
adultery. The words are recorded by the writers of the New Testament,
along with this "Patron Saint" whose followers are cursed by John in
his vision of the risen Christ. The Mythical Character Santa Clause
derived from the Patron Saint Nicolas, was actually brought to life
through incorporation of Masonic symbolism, looking back to Nimrod,
king of Babylon, [founder of the "legend of the Craft"] in Masonry,
and the proto-type of the Antichrist!
Isa 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree
THE CHRIST-MASS TREE "Christmas Apologists" crusade the internet
informing people an obvious reference in Jeremiah to a Tree being cut
down, brought into the home, placed in a stand, and decorated with
silver and gold have "nothing to do with the Christmas tree".
Unfortunately, the historical practices of the winter solstice in the
Middle East are well documented by modern archeologists. The fact is
that Mithraic practices were being assimilated into Israel [known to
all historians] and reflected in the texts of the Tanakh, where both
the ancient festival and its modern practice is thoroughly denounced
in scores of texts. The New Testament in keeping with their
predeccessors, openly called these practices the cause of separation
from God, the practice of Apostates and the unmistakable mark of one's
potential future damnation. Prophets warned if you mix the worship of
God with the lake of fire in the sky, that is where you will go when
you die. It is a worship the prophets warned God does not accept, and
is a dangerous deception.
Mat 5:10-12 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness'
sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
THE SCROOGE OF CHRIST-MASS The Christmas productions of GRINCH and
SCROOGE on closer examination are full of intolerance against people
who, for "conscientious reasons" preferred not to recognize Rome's
Christ-Mass. Who were these "awful scrooges"? They were actually
Jewish & Protestant New England "FOUNDING FATHERS". And while they
had
no desire to celebrate Rome's Christ-mass, they were opposing Rome's
slavery in the South, where the first "Christmas" in America was made
STATE LAW, thanks to Valladolid Christianity promoted by Jesuit
slave-
traders in Southern slave-port cities. Later this theology became
the
basis of the Klan and its promotion of CHRIST-MASS in the 1920s.
"Scrooge" is a residual orgy of anti-Semitism [as many Jewish children
are aware], composed by Dickens, who referred to his "villain" as THE
JEW and created the most vile anti-Semitic caricature ever penned in
the history of the English language. The "ghost of Christ-mass past",
did not "haunt" Ebenezer [a real man Dickens misrepresented]! But
rather Dickens himself, who destroyed 20 years of letters to "hide"
his own past.
Pro 14:12,13 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death. Even in laughter the heart is
sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
THE JOY OF CHRIST-MASS Unlike the "image' it's promoters constantly
create on television, CHRIST-MASS is by far the saddest, most
depressive, and even deadliest times of the entire year. Find out how
its practices have been implicated in everything from the actual cause
of divorces, to financial ruin, to even death itself. Find out how the
true "devastation" of this practice runs both into the billions of
dollars and impacts our lives in ways we rarely are allowed to
realize. Find out how it negatively affects not only on our personal
lives, our marriages, our finances, but even our national economy, our
environment and our "spiritual lives". Fragile and unstable
personalities frequently collapse under the stress of it's annual
demanding social rituals leading to peaks in random violence and
crime. Its consequences for both you the individual, your family and
even your society, are the complete opposite of what they claim with
yearly multi-million dollar promotions based on pure known intentional
deciet. "Merry Deathmas?"
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not
come,
except there come a falling away first,
and that (not
"Vicar of
Christ" but) MAN OF SIN be revealed,
the (not "Holy Father"
but) SON OF
PERDITION ;
Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is
called God, or
that
is worshipped;
so that he as God sitteth (EX CATHEDRA) in the
sanctuary
of God,
shewing himself that he is God.
THE MIRACLE OF CHRIST-MASS The "miracle" of CHRIST-MASS is that in a
country where 70% of the population should find CHRIST-MASS absolutely
unacceptable, it is Federal Law, Federally Funded and it's
participation is legally Mandated, from Public education to government
office, even if you are so far removed as to be an Atheist. And at a
time when conservatives claim there is not so much money available to
even feed people, they demand ever increasing budgets and government
extravaganzas at tax payer expense to fund public displays of
idolatry, "in the name of Christ" who has the honor of becoming a
blonde-haired, blue eyed Gaelic Apollo-Baby and serving as Cheif Idol
in the pantheon. It is obviously what some would call a "miracle".
Find out how this "miricle" is prophesied in the New Testament as
well, but not the kind you would want to participate in. There... it
is called a miraculous "delusion". The same term employed by Charles
Dickens himself upon writing THE CHRISTMAS CAROL, and the "vicious
caricature" of Ebenezer Scrooge, on its behalf.
2Th 2:10-12 (Speaking of those who refuse to admit the identity of the
"Man Of Sin")
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them
that
perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they
might be
saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the
truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.
If you worship the lake of fire in the sky,
that is where you go when
you
die

resources to help you overcome the efforts of those who wish to
undermine America's U.S. Constitution, and make homage to Rome's Icon
the basis of economic, legal & professional persecution, threat and
abuse.
1ST AMENDMENT OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION
Congress shall make no law
respecting (Christ-Mass) an establishment
of religion,
(But they do anyway)
We're all for "Free rights" and "Free Speech"
JUST NOT ON
DECEMBER
25TH
- FOX NEWS, MICHELLE BACHMAN, & THE RELIGIOUS
REICH
QUESTION: When else would you actually need your
"Constitutional
Rights"
to escape worshipping the "Icon" (False-Christ Sun-god) of
the
"Beast"
(Roman Empire)?
Apollyon, born on December 25th, made state law of the
empire by Pope
Sixth III ?
Secretary day?
THE LAW ON CHRIST-MASS The Religious-Reich has placed the First
Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in it's cross hairs for
elimination. Unfortunately, many Americans, Protestants and
Evangelicals have been seduced by tfalse claims promoted by Romanists,
that there is either some Biblical basis or historical precendent for
eliminating our form of Constitutional government established by New
England Protestants seeking protection for all Americans from the
abuses of historical Rome, and replacing it with a "Christian State".
Unfortunately, that is only a deception being used to erode and
eventually eliminate the very legal protections Protestant Forefathers
gave their lives to establish. The use of America as a platform for
restoration of a "Christian" nation is political code for justifying
the establishment of the (i.e., Holy Roman empire a/k/a Third Reich)
in the United States.
You've always known CHRISTMAS was a lie.
But.... It's Much Bigger
Than
You Think.
It is a
DELUSION
READ THE TRUTH ABOUT
CHRIST-MASS
AND IT'S ICON
AND DECIDE TO "LOVE THE TRUTH" INSTEAD OF
THE
CHRIST-MASS LIE
BECAUSE THE "LOVE OF THE TRUTH"
WILL "SAVE YOU"
FROM THIS
DELUSION
