Did you know that December 25th was never mentioned in the bible as being Jesus’s birthday? Did you know it used to be illegal to celebrate Christmas in Boston? Did you know the Christmas tree represents pagan idol worship and child sacrifice?
I know right? There is so much that we don’t know which means there is so much more to learn.
We are currently celebrating the ambiance of the Christmas season. We are experiencing the music, the decorations, and the happy dispositions of people. Many of us have our lights up, our Christmas trees up, and our presents under the tree. But what if I were to tell you that Christmas is not about any of those things. Ask yourself what does Christmas really mean? Why do Christians claim the day to be the most popular of all the Christian Holidays? What have you learned over the years about Christmas?
When putting together the Christmas program at my church for the youth, I realized that the kids were all saying the same thing about what they knew about Christmas. They talked about it being the day that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. They said things like; Jesus loves me, Jesus is the savior, and Jesus is the reason for the season. These things were true to them and also true to me. We reviewed the same thing every Christmas, how Mary and Joseph had to sleep with the animals because there was no room at the inn, how the shepherds were told by the angels to visit Jesus, and how the magi presented gifts to Jesus. This is what I was taught, this was how I was raised, and this is what I knew about Christmas. However, as I have continued to walk with the Lord and I have continued to study his word he is showing me more truth about this holiday. I wish to share some things with you that may have you question the practice of this holiday. We will start off slow then we will go deeper . . .
-December 25th was never mentioned in the bible as Jesus’s Birthday. This date was made up by the Roman Catholic Church when Pope Julius decided to celebrate the birth of Jesus on this date. Before the 4th century the birth of Jesus was not a recognized holiday. December 25th actually coincides with the Winter Solstice where sun worshipers recorded the movement of the sun, the stars, and the moon. The bible warned against such practices. Due to this idol worship to the sun god known as Baal, people sacrificed their children into the fire of Molech in order to convince the sun to rise everyday.
Where do I get my information you ask, what is my source? Well my main source is the bible. But I did do some research on the internet to see what other people were writing about Christmas.
- http://www.etonline.com/news/155454_31_facts_you_didn_t_know_about_christmas/ This site points out some interesting little tidbits about Christmas including the reason why Christmas was banned in Boston from 1659 to 1681.
- http://www.thechurchesofgod.com/IS%20THE%20CHRISMAS%20TREE%20IN%20THE%20BIBLE.htm This site explains the reason why the Christmas tree and presents are really used during Christmas. Here is an excerpt from the article:
“Jeremiah 10 certainly does sound like a description of the modern Christmas tree! But rather than commanding us to put a tree in our house, it says, ‘Thus says the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; (the winter solstice of December 25th) for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain, for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe. They deck it with silver and gold, they fasten it with nails and with hammers that it moves not....’” Jeremiah 10:2-4
- http://www.annomundi.com/bible/christmas.htm This article goes into the true meaning of Christmas as it explains the origins of sun worship and the roots of Nimrod. If you are not familiar, I will try to explain it a little more when we go a little deeper into this subject area. Here is an excerpt:
“The Christmas tree is based on mythology that originated in Babylon. For those who do it in the traditional manner, the Yule Log is thrown onto the fire on Christmas Eve, representing death and destruction. Then on Christmas Day there is the tree, covered in decorations and surrounded with presents, representing new life, the resurrected Nimrod.”
Let us look at Jeremiah 10 where God warns the people about their idol worship, once again: “Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord, learn not the ways 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 cutteth a tree out of the forest . . . . They deck it with silver and gold . . .”
Idol worship is the practice of worshiping something other than God, like making an image of something and giving it more attention than the creator, God. Today we have many idols, we make our cars, houses, jobs, TV, children, husbands, wives all idols when we put them before God. People also make things that they don’t understand idols and claim that the signs of heaven are more significant than the one who created the heavens. We reference the Christmas holiday more than we do God himself. How many presents under the tree are for Jesus?
We disguise our idolatry like we are doing everything for Jesus. We rush around, spending money trying to buy presents. We say we have a giving spirit at this time, we are on our best behavior smiling and being nice to everyone. Some of us even decide to go to church! December is usually team Jesus month. However friends, God does not want just one day, nor does he want one month, nor does he want just the Holiday season. He wants your all, all year round.
My friends if you didn’t know this whole Christmas thing is a ritual of pagan idol worship. God told us in Exodus 20 “Thou shalt not have no other gods before me, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself before them, nor serve them: For I the lord thy God is a jealous God, punishing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”
In short, Christians shouldn’t have idols.
Let’s Go Deeper
Now let us look at sun worship and the connection with the Christmas tree.
Isaiah 57:5 “Inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of rocks?”
The people were overwhelmed with idol worship and child sacrifice. They were taught how to practice sorcery and how to read the stars. They would take their children to high places, then cast them over cliffs or some type of slide that fed them to the fire of Molech. Imagine the peer pressure. I'm sure there were those who didn't want to do it or changed their minds. Imagine what would happen to those parents. I guess it was easier just to along with the flow of the crowd? SMH. Is this what we do today? What do we give our children over to? Think about it.
-Isaiah 57:5 talks about idolatry and child sacrifice. Verse 3 tells us that these idol worshipers come from the seed of an adulterer, the whore (Mystery Babylon). It also says that these men are sons of the sorceress; also the same Mystery Babylon. (This will be important to note later when you read about “the great whore” and the spirit behind her when I introduce Semiramis). Please do not take my word for it, read the 57th chapter of Isaiah which is also a prophecy of the rapture. He who has an ear let him hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying.
If we studied the bible as we should and spend time with God, he will reveal things to us that we cannot see otherwise. So what social programing has taught us is that the bible is of the past, and that it only deals with the things that has past away. Furthermore we are taught that the bible is mostly the history of those who call themselves “Jewish” and the new testament is what Christians follow. I understand that most will not understand the information in this article and that most will consider it lies, creative banter, theological facilities, conspiracies, and or just stories to be told. I challenge you to do your own research and I challenge you to spend time with God through reading and prayer. I tell you this is truth.
Let’s Go a Little Deeper
You may not believe this but, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers, and against rulers of ignorance. (paraphrased Eph. 6:12) There were angels that were sent here to be watchers over the earth, saw the daughters of men, made them wives, then had children with them. These children had spirits in them that were not the same as the spirit of men. Men have the spirit of God in them, (in their earth of which they were made out off). Please understand that the fallen angels have already been judged, and they already know their punishment, eternal hell fire. Many of the angels are already bound but their offspring have spirits that are still living amongst us today. They are noted in the bible as “Mighty Men.” I’m a teacher so I’m going to tell you to go look it up yourself in Genesis chapter 6. God destroyed the cohabitation of these “Mighty Men” with human beings in the flood. He had to because the Mighty Men were hunters of men’s souls. Why? Because the spirits that came from the falling angels understand the promise of God’s chosen people. They understand that God will call his very own spirit back to himself. So many people are fooled, back then and even today, about what is really going on. There is a battle going on for your soul, right now, currently as you read this.
(Side note: it would be wise for you to thank God for everything that you have and are protected from in this world. God is allowing his good angels to fight for you, constantly. God is continuously shielding you from the negative things that you yourself are calling into your life. Give thanks to him for this is the law, and he will have compassion on you in the day of judgement. You will also see great changes in your life. Do not be fooled (brain washed) by things like Christmas. We are causing our own stress and putting our own selves in debt, for what? To acknowledge Santa!!!??)
Good news . . . the battle is already won. Let us continue talking about these fallen angels of which the devil has control over in his kingdom.
These same fallen angels (demons) and spirits, before the flood, would teach men the secret ways. Men (Human beings) would practice astrology (power of the sun, moon and stars), witchcraft (power of the earth, wind, fire, and air) and other sorceries. These spirits were teaching it and it grieved God because that is not why God made man. God saw that man was continuously evil in his heart and easily swayed away from the power of God. Man was easily convinced to follow what he saw or what he understood with his own eyes. This whole being able to understand and having the ability to actually practice rituals and idolatry came from the tree of knowledge. Yes, the very same fruit that Adam and Eve ate that was supposed to bring us knowledge, guides us into ignorance, again and again, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The enemy continues to use the same tricks of mind control over us today. Most of us are oblivious to why we celebrate Christmas and what the Christmas tree represents.
So, this is all I have for you at this time. I hope this was helpful in your studying and I pray that you continue to walk with the Lord. I pray that God shows you how to walk in your purpose. Study, study, study, and develop your relationship with him. If you truly could not follow everything that I am writing about, then just keep studying and God will reveal it to you. All my best until next time.

This is a picture of my Peacock Christmas tree. I love to decorate and make things pretty, but I guess I'm going to get over it because I told my kids and my hubby, no Christmas tree next Year!
This is the same tree decorated for Harvest. SMH, I won't be doing that anymore either. We stopped celebrating Halloween a long time ago and the kids are fine with it. No Trick or Treat. I'd rather have my salvation. Thank God for allowing me to have that choice. Christians should be strange and peculiar. We should not be doing things that the world is doing. Look up and do your research about what "All Hollows Eve" is really about. Satan has the world fooled!
And this is for real!! My girls were very embarrassed and begged me not to get out of the car and take this picture. Where in the bible does it say anything about Santa visiting Baby Jesus? Where's Simeon? Where's Anna? My nephew comes to me and says "You know aunt Marie, Santa Clause is a real person." I said "oh yeah really, where did you learn this?" he replies "In school." Yes friends, school is teaching about St. Nicholas, although he was a real person who gave to poor children, he was not a jolly old white man in a red suit flying in the sky and sliding down chimneys. The real Santa is the devil, the red dragon, who encourages men to slide their children down the chimney into the fire and Semiramis is the Ho Ho Hoe!! SMH LOL, but really not funny. Can we see what is going on here? Protect and pray over your children.
Did you know that January is two faced! What I mean is that it is the month of the open door. Janus "is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, doorways, passages,and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces. . ." (Wikipedia) This brings up a question: Why do we decorate our doors at this time of the year? This might bring me to a future study on Janus and wreaths.
