View attachment 6694805To those who seek to walk in the truth of Yeshua, I challenge you to step beyond ignorance and examine the roots of Christmas. The traditions you may cherish are not of God but are steeped in paganism and satanic deception, mocking the Creator you claim to honor.
Christmas: A Pagan Celebration in DisguiseThe celebration of Christmas, far from being a biblically commanded event, is rooted in paganism and satanic deception. Its customs and traditions directly contradict YHWH’s Word and are an abomination in His sight. As believers, we must carefully examine the origins and practices of Christmas and compare them with Scripture.
God’s View on PaganismThe Bible is clear: YHWH detests pagan practices and commands His people to avoid them entirely.
- Deuteronomy 12:30-31: “Be careful not to be ensnared by their ways... You must not worship YHWH your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things YHWH hates.”
- Jeremiah 10:2-4: “Learn not the way of the nations… For the customs of the peoples are futile: One cuts a tree out of the forest… They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails so it will not topple.”
- Ezekiel 8:13-14: YHWH showed Ezekiel the detestable practices of His people, including sun worship. These are tied to the same origins as December 25th celebrations, which honor the sun god, not the Son of God.
Celebrating Christmas, with its pagan roots, mocks YHWH’s holiness and aligns believers with practices He explicitly condemns.
The Mockery of YHWH Through Christmas TraditionsSatan has twisted pagan rituals and dressed them up as "Christian," deceiving many into believing they honour Yeshua. But these traditions mock God:
- Santa Claus as a Counterfeit God
- Sits on a Throne: Santa is depicted sitting on a throne like YHWH (Isaiah 6:1).
- Called "Father Christmas": Yeshua warned in Matthew 23:9, "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven."
- Omniscient: Santa "knows when you’re sleeping, knows when you’re awake." This parallels God’s omniscience (Psalm 139:2-3).
- Coming Like a Thief: Santa sneaks into homes at night, a mockery of Yeshua’s return, described in 1 Thessalonians 5:2 as "a thief in the night."
- Deceptive Nature: Parents lie to their children from birth, teaching them to believe in Santa. Yeshua said in John 8:44 that Satan is the father of lies, and those who perpetuate lies serve his purposes.
- The Christmas Tree
- As Jeremiah 10 describes, the practice of cutting and decorating a tree is pagan in origin, tied to worship of idols and false gods. The tree itself became a phallic symbol in fertility cults, an abomination before YHWH.
- Christmas Lights and Decorations
- Pagan traditions used lights to ward off evil spirits during winter solstice festivals, but Scripture warns against such practices. In truth, these lights now attract evil spirits, signalling vulnerability to demonic influence. 2 Corinthians 11:14 reminds us that “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light,” deceiving many with outward beauty.
- Feasting and Materialism
- Christmas encourages overindulgence and materialism, violating the biblical call to self-control and godliness (Galatians 5:22-23). It turns hearts toward worldly desires rather than worshiping YHWH in spirit and truth (John 4:24).
The Pagan Origins of ChristmasThe roots of Christmas trace back to pagan rituals long before Yeshua’s birth.
- December 25th: This date aligns with the Roman festival of Saturnalia and the birthday of Mithras, the sun god. Emperor Constantine, in an effort to unite pagans and Christians, merged these celebrations with a false "Christian" narrative. This was not ordained by YHWH but by men seeking political gain.
- The Yule Log and Mistletoe: Both stem from Norse and Celtic paganism, symbolizing fertility and nature worship. These traditions honor created things rather than the Creator (Romans 1:25).
Constantine’s blending of pagan customs with Christian practices was a direct violation of YHWH’s command in
Deuteronomy 12:4: “You must not worship YHWH your God in their way.”
The Spiritual Dangers of Christmas- Opening Doors to Demonic Influence
- Participating in pagan customs invites spiritual vulnerability. Ephesians 4:27 warns, “Do not give the devil a foothold.” Christmas traditions, steeped in paganism, are an open invitation to the influence of evil spirits.
- False Worship
- The focus on Santa, decorations, and material gifts shifts worship away from YHWH. Exodus 20:3 commands, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” Even when unintentional, these practices dishonor God.
- Mocking YHWH’s Holiness
- Satan’s ultimate goal is to mock and counterfeit YHWH’s ways. The parallels between Santa and YHWH’s attributes, the focus on self-worship, and the embrace of pagan customs are all part of his plan to lead people astray.
A Call to RepentanceThe Bible is clear: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins” (Revelation 18:4). True worshipers of YHWH must separate themselves from traditions rooted in paganism and instead honor YHWH’s appointed times.
- Keep YHWH’s Feasts: The biblical feasts, such as Passover and Sukkot, were commanded by YHWH and point to His plan of salvation through Yeshua. Yet Christians would rather celebrate pagan festivals like Christmas and New year and Easter.
- Reject Paganism: Tear down the idols in your heart and home (2 Kings 23:24). Refuse to participate in traditions that mock YHWH and glorify Satan.
Final WarningCelebrating Christmas is not just "harmless fun." It is a direct violation of YHWH’s commandments and an embrace of paganism that He despises. As Yeshua said in
Matthew 15:3, “Why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?” The time to choose is now: Will you follow the traditions of men or the commandments of YHWH?
