What is it about Christmas?
Why is it so magical and so full of fond memories? I recently watched a version of “A Christmas Carol” I hadn’t seen before. It got me thinking. Once you take away all the details and you look at the actual message of the movie, you realize it is evangelistic in nature. The main message seems to be: believe in Christmas. Another perfect example is the “The Polar Express”. It is the same message, only aimed at children. In fact this is the same message in many Christmas movies and television shows, perhaps even most of them. Why? Let’s break it down. Christmas has three main parts: The top or covering, the middle and the base or foundation.
First we’ll look at the top or covering. This layer is the layer that is magical to children. It includes Santa Clause, his magical sleigh with his magical reindeer and presents he puts under the tree which is decorated with lights, garnished with silver and gold, along with ornaments (some even extra special made by the children themselves or passed down from previous generations). It is magical to adults as well, with the warmth of a fireplace, lights, pretty decorations and figurines all over the house (inside and out), kind thoughts (even towards strangers as we wish them a “Merry Christmas”, as we have “good will towards men”), family gatherings, and sharing the experience with that special someone (but those that don’t have family or that special someone experience depression on Christmas and some even commit suicide). After all the presents and glee, comes the delicious Christmas dinner with turkey or ham, and all the trappings. All this is wrapped up in the most important part about Christmas to Christians; the spiritual part. That Christmas is really all about the birth of Jesus.
The middle part is the tree itself, the mistletoe, the reef on the door, even the colors red and green. Mostly it is about the date December 25th. What is it about the date December 25th?
Now we must look at the base or foundation of Christmas, and it is here by looking at the origins of the middle part, that we discover the truth about Christmas and what it is about the date December 25th. We discover origins indicate most of it comes from paganism. In other words, from things pagans did to celebrate (worship) their pagan gods over time. So what about the date December 25th?
December 25th was the date no less than sixteen saviors were born or (supposedly) reincarnated.
Since all of the other impostors born on this date are just fairy tales and myths, then it makes it appear that the true Messiah of the Bible is just another fairy tale myth as well. The Movie “Zeitgeist” and the book entitled “The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors” shows what the conspiracy of Satan is really all about and why December 25th strengthens the false claims of the Satanists, Atheists and New Age Occultists that the true Messiah is “nothing more than a pagan myth” or a “reincarnation of the pagan Christos for all religions.” – Maria Merola
Are you beginning to see the picture? But it is just the tip of the iceberg. The truth is Jesus was not born on December 25th. Most scholars believe He was born on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles (as in He “tabernacled among us”). This can be backed up by scripture as well as astronomy (not astrology) from the star constellation and alignments that were in the sky on The Feast of Tabernacles in 3 B.C. (when Jesus was born). The reason there was no room at the inn is because The Feast of Tabernacles was one of the three Feast days (of seven) in which all males of the Twelve Tribes of Israel were required to gather in Jerusalem as commanded by The Most High God.
The fact Jesus was not born on December 25th, exposes a lie. Who is the father of lies? Satan/the devil/etc., is the father of lies. The truth is Jesus being born on December 25th is also a distraction; A distraction from what? A distraction from His real birth date. When we look at His real birth date being the first day of The Feast of Tabernacles, we now have to ask ourselves what the significance of The Feast Of Tabernacles is, and when we do, new truths come to light.
Another lie is the Feast of Tabernacles is only a Jewish holy day. The truth is it is not only for the Jews, but all of the people of The Most High God, which He calls The Children of Israel. Israel consists of twelve tribes, of which the tribe of Judah (Jews) is only one. Ten of the twelve tribes were “scattered among the nations” according to scripture. When we accept what Jesus did for us on the cross (actually it was an execution steak), we are grafted in. Grafted in to what? To Israel and the covenant that says He (The Most High God) is our God, and we are His people. We had better be one of the tribes, because there are twelve tribes and only twelve gates to the New Jerusalem according to scripture.
Actually since we are revealing truth here, I might as well reveal a big one: Jesus is not the real name of our Savior and Messiah. Jesus is a Greek name, which means nothing at all, but our Savior was a Hebrew and a Jew. His real name was/is Yeshua. In Hebrew, it means “salvation” (there are other forms of the name Yeshua that have more detailed meanings, but Yeshua is the most used). Likewise, the real name of our Father in Heaven, The Most High God, is YHWH (in Hebrew it means: “hand”, “behold”, “nail”, “behold”). Most often it is written as Yahweh. Just as there are other forms of the name Yeshua, there are other forms of the Name Yahweh as well. The point is His name is not “God” or “Lord”, or even “LORD”. These titles when used as names, actually can refer to pagan gods (look it up).
Now that we got that out of the way, let’s get back to the whole Feast of Tabernacles /Israel thing. Are you beginning to see the significance? The things like keeping the Feast days (such as The Feast of Tabernacles), and keeping the commandments that we were always taught were “for the Jews”, are actually for us too. When I say keeping the commandments, I don’t mean the manmade rabbinical ones like those Yeshua went out of His way to break, but rather the ones He was referring to when He said “Moses spoke of Me”. This of course was the commandments given at Mt. Sinai to the Children of Israel, to those who were “there” and those “not there” (that’s us folks).
One of the commandments (the fourth one) says to keep His Sabbath (the seventh day / Saturday on our modern Gregorian calendar) holy, but most Christians keep Sunday holy, or at least go to church on that day. Why? Because a Roman Emperor by the name of Constantine who was a sun god (Mithras) worshiper (the origins of the Roman Catholic Church), changed the day from Yahweh’s day of worship (Saturday) to Sunday in order to honor the pagan sun god Mithras.
You might say: “But according to Paul’s writings, the Torah/commandments were done away with!”
Actually careful study of Paul’s writings in the Newer Testament seems to show contradiction. Why? Because it takes a scholar and someone very familiar with the Torah as well as rabbinic writings and rules (such as the Talmud) as well as history and the culture of his day, not to mention his audience, to understand his writings. Even Peter warned Paul’s writings were difficult to understand and misused on purpose to deceive, but Peter’s writings (which included his warning) were moved behind Paul’s writings by the church, so Peter’s warning would go unheeded.
Are you beginning to see what is going on? Do you see how crafty the enemy has been? Christmas is a brilliant distraction.
