What does Christmas really mean?
Bible does not tell us when Jesus was born. However, we know
that the angels announced the birth of Christ to the Bethlehem shepherds in the
open fields who were tending their flocks by night.. This fact certainly
implies that the birth of Jesus could NOT have been on the 25th of December.
The cold of the night in Palestine between December and
February is very piercing, and it was not customary for the shepherds of Judea
to watch their flocks in the open fields later than about the end of
October. "Hislop, A., The Two Babylons, Loiseaux Brothers, Neptune, N.J.
pg 91".
In addition, Jesus Himself said, in speaking of the coming
destruction of Jerusalem, "But pray that your flight be NOT in winter,
neither on the Sabbathday." (Matthew 24:20)
Obviously, Jesus understood that the wintertime in Palestine
was harsh enough to make traveling difficult and uncomfortable. If the winter
was such a bad time in which to flee, it seems unlikely that the shepherds
would be sleeping out in the fields while tending their sheep during that
season.
"No such festival as Christmas was ever heard of until
the THIRD century, and not until the FOURTH century was far advanced did it
gain much observance.
"Long before the fourth century, and long before the
Christian era itself, a festival was celebrated among the HEATHEN, at that
precise time of the year, in honor often to the birth of the son of the Babylonian
queen of heaven; and it may fairly be presumed that, in order to conciliate the
heathen, and to swell the number of the nominal adherents of Christianity, the
same festival was adopted by the Roman Church, giving it only the name of
Christ.
This tendency on the part of Christians to meet Paganism
half-way was very early developed." Ibid, pg 93".
It is beyond doubt that Christmas was originally a pagan
festival. The time of the year and the ceremonies, with which it is still
celebrated, prove its origin.
Isis, the Egyptian title for the "queen of
heaven," gave birth to a son at this very time, about the time of the
winter solstice. The term "Yule" is the Chaldee (Babylonian) name for
"infant" or "little child."
This pagan festival not only commemorated the figurative
birthday of the sun (worship of the sun god) in the renewal of its course, but it also was celebrated
(on December 24) among the Sabeans of Arabia, as the birthday of the "Lord
Moon."
In Babylon, where the sun (Baal) was the object of worship,
Tammuz was considered the incarnation of the Sun.
"In the Hindu mythology, which is admitted to be
essentially Babylonian, this comes out very distinctly. There, Surya, or the
Sun, is represented as being incarnate, and born for the purpose of subduing
the enemies of the gods, who without such a birth, could not have been
subdued." Ibid pg 96".
There are many other Christmas counterparts of the
Babylonian winter solstice festival, such as:
1.) Candles lighted on Christmas eve and used throughout the
festival season were equally lighted by the Pagans on the eve of the festival
of the Babylonian god, to do honor to him.
2.) The Christmas tree was equally common in Pagan Rome and
Pagan Egypt. In Egypt that tree was the palm tree; in Rome it was the fir. The
tree denoted the Pagan Messiah.
"The mother of Adonis, the Sun God and great
mediatorial divinity, was mystically said to have been changed into a tree, and
when in that state to have brought forth her divine son. If the mother was a
tree, the son must have been recognized as the "Man of the branch." "Ibid
pg 97".
The Yule log was considered the dead stock of Nimrod (or
Tammuz, depending on the specific nation involved), deified as the sun god, but
cut down by his enemies; the Christmas tree is Nimrod revived - the slain god
come to life again.
The mistletoe branch symbolized "the man, the
branch" and was regarded as a divine branch - a corrupt Babylonian
representation of the true Messiah. Both mistletoe and holly were considered
fertility plants by the pagans.
"Babylon was, at that time, the center of the civilized
world; and thus Paganism, corrupting the Divine symbol as it ever has done, had
opportunities of sending forth its debased counterfeit of the truth to all the
ends of the earth, through the Mysteries that were affiliated with the great
central system in Babylon." Ibid pg 99".
The story of the death of Adonis, also known as Tammuz,
involved a fatal wound from the tusk of a boar when Tammuz was 40 years old.
That is why a boar was sacrificed on this Pagan holiday. Even today, a
Christmas ham is a traditional favorite of many.
"According to a Roman almanac, The Christian festival
of Christmas was celebrated in Rome by A.D. 336. During the 4th century the
celebration of Christ's birth on December 25 was gradually adopted by most
Eastern churches. In Jerusalem, opposition to Christmas lasted longer, but it
was subsequently accepted.
"The traditional customs connected with Christmas have
developed from several sources as a result of the coincidence of the
celebration of the birth of Christ with the pagan agricultural and solar
observances at mid-winter. December 25 was regarded as the birthdate of the
Iranian mystery god Mithra, the Sun of Righteousness. . . The ecclesiastical
calendar retains numerous remnants of pre-Christian festivals—notably
Christmas, which blends elements including both the feast of the Saturnalia and
the birthday of the god Mithra." Encyclopedia Britannica, 1976 edition;
Micropedia II, pg 903, Macropedia 15, pg 1063".
The much-loved hero of Christmas, Santa Claus, who
"knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows when
you've been bad or good" and who can circumnavigate the globe in one
night, is nothing more than the Winter stag god, the god of the hunt, a
"take-off" on the true God of heaven, who is omnipresent (everywhere
at once), omniscient (knows all), and omnipotent (all powerful).
Santa has Eight Reindeer. Reindeer are symbolic of the Pagan
Stag god. The number 8 is the number for a new beginning, and, when laid on its
side, is the occultic symbol for Infinity.
There can be no doubt that the Pagan festival of the winter
solstice—in other words, Christmas—was held in honor of the birth of the
Babylonian Messiah.
The prophet Ezekiel is told by God to:
"Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater
abominations that they (the Israelites) do.
"Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the
Lord's house (the Temple) which was toward the north; and behold, there sat
women weeping for Tammuz (A Sumerian fertility god similar to the Greek god,
Adonis)." Ezekiel 8:14.
December 25 was also the Day of Saturnalia, a celebration
dedicated to the Chief god, Saturn, during which time there was much drinking,
many banquets, and presents were exchanged. God is very clear in his directives
against the celebration of this Pagan holiday that Christians now universally
celebrate as Christmas. God calls this an abomination! Christians celebrate
December 25th blindly believe they are honoring the birth of Jesus, when they
are in reality honoring the Pagan god Tammuz.
In John 4:22 we see Jesus make the statement, "Ye worship ye
know not what.”
"Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O
house of Israel:
There could be NO more specific description of a present-day
Christmas, than this. God says, "DON'T do it. This is Paganism!"
In Jeremiah 10:1-4 it reads, "Thus saith the Lord, learn NOT the way of the heathen, and be NOT dismayed at the signs of heaven (the sun festival, solstice day, the stars etc), for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are futile: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They decorate it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not."
The Yule occultic colors are red and green (Christmas colors).
Because of these facts, and others to be discussed, it is virtually impossible for the birth of Christ to have occurred on December 25.
Easter: It's Totally Pagan too!
Easter is not a Christian name. It is Chaldean (Babylonian)
in origin - the name Astarte, one of the titles of Beltis, the queen of heaven.
The name Astarte, as found on the Assyrian monuments by the noted archeologist
Layard, was the name Ishtar. The worship of Bel and Astarte was introduced very
early into Britain, along with the Druids, "the priests of the
groves," the high places where the pagans worshipped the idols of Baal. In
the Almanac of the 1800's, May 1st is called Beltane, from the pagan god, Bel.
The titles Bel and Molech both belong to the same god.
The (Easter/Ishtar) bunny, the oldest pagan symbol of fertility -
Semiramis - has absolutely NOTHING to do with the birth of Christ. The bunny
rabbit symbolizes fertility and is again associated with Ishtar- The goddess of
fertility. Nor does the Sunrise service have anything to do with Jesus. Jesus
was resurrected while it was still DARK!
"And early came Mary Magdalene, when it was yet dark,
unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre."John 20:1".
Sunrise services are for the worship of the Pagan Sun god -
ONLY! In addition, Jesus was NOT resurrected on Sunday, the first day of the
week. Jesus was resurrected on Saturday which means He was curcified on
Wednesday.
One mythological legend says that sometime after Semiramis
died, a huge egg dropped from heaven. Out of the egg came a re-incarnated
Semiramis, now a goddess. The Babylonian Talmud refers to her as Ishtar, or
Easter.
Ezekiel 8:13-14 tells us what God thinks about any festival
that recognizes Tammuz:
"The Lord said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and
thou shalt see greater abominations that they (the Israelites) do. Then He
brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house which was toward the north;
and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz."
As late as the 19th century, in Great Britain, at Beltan (or
the 1st of May) a number of men and women assembled at an ancient Druidical
circle of stones near Crieff, to participate in an ancient worship feast to
Baal.
The festival of Pasch, or the Passover, was very early
observed by many professing Christians, in commemoration of the death and
resurrection of Christ, although it cannot be traced back as far as the
Apostles. But Pasch was observed by Christians a full month before the festival
of Ishtar was celebrated by the Pagans. In addition, the festival of Ishtar/Easter now observed in churches is far different from the original festival
of Pasch.
Jeremiah 7:18, "The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire,
and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven".
The hot cross buns are not now offered, but eaten instead,
on the festival of Easter/Astarte - Ishtar.
"The origin of the Pasch (Passover) eggs is just as
clear. The ancient Druids bore an egg as the sacred emblem of their order. In
the mysteries of Bacchus, as celebrated in Athens, one part of the nocturnal
ceremony consisted in the consecration of an egg. The Hindu fables celebrate
their mundane egg as of a golden color. In China, even as late as the 19th
century, dyed or painted eggs were used during sacred festivals.
"In ancient times, eggs were used in the religious
rites of the Egyptians and the Greeks, and were hung up for mystic purposes in
their temples. . . The classic poets are full of the fable of the mystic egg of
the Babylonians.
"The occult meaning of the mystic egg of Astarte had
reference to the ark during the time of the flood, in which the whole human
race was shut up, as the chick is enclosed in the egg before it is hatched. And
of course, the egg also refers to birth, or creation.
"Though the deified queen, whom Astarte/Ishtar
represented, had no actual existence till some centuries after the flood, yet
through the doctrine of metampsychosis, which was firmly established in
Babylon, it was easy for her worshippers to be made to believe that, in a
previous incarnation, she had lived in the Antediluvian world and passed safely
through the waters of the flood. The Roman Catholic Church then adopted this
mystic egg of Astarte/Ishtar, and consecrated it as a symbol of Christ's
resurrection."Ibid pg 109,110".
The amalgamation of the Christian Pasch, as observed in Britain by the Christians, and the Pagan Easter enforced by Rome, occurred by violence and bloodshed. But at last, the Festival of the Anglo-Saxon or Chaldean goddess, Ishtar, came to supersede that which had been held in honor of Christ.
"The hot cross buns of Good Friday and the dyed eggs of Easter Sunday figured in the Chaldean rites just as they do today. The buns,' known by the identical name, were used in the worship of the queen of heaven, the goddess Ishtar, as early as the days of Cecrops, the founder of Athens, that is, 1500 years BEFORE the Christian era. One species of sacred bread which used to be offered to the gods was called CeBoun. "Hislop, Two Babylon’s, pg 107".
The forty days of Lent symbolize one day for each year of Tammuz' life. This period of time is celebrated in the "Christian" church by giving up something to mourn the death - of Tammuz, the son of the pagan goddess Semiramis/Ishtar! This church of course is the Roman Catholic Church, on of the wicked systems on the planet.
We must remember that Semiramis (also known as Ishtar) (OR EASTER) of Babylon, the wife of Nimrod and mother of Tammuz, was the same goddess worshiped throughout the world under various names, such as the Egyptian fertility god, Artemis, the Roman goddess of licentiousness, Venus, the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, and the Ephesians, many-breasted fertility god, Diana, as well as many others.
The Bible clearly tells us what God considers the memorial
of Christ's death and resurrection. It is NOT the pagan celebration of Easter,
in honor of the pagan god, Ishtar. It is BAPTISM:
Romans 6:3-6,"Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into
Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him,
that the body of sin might be destroyed (rendered inoperative), that henceforth
we should not be slaves of sin."
The memorial for Christ's
death and resurrection is BAPTISM - - - NOT Easter!
There is NO doubt that Easter is a totally Pagan holiday.
How about Halloween?
"In ancient
Britain and Ireland, the Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-inn), the
Lord of the Dead, was observed on October 31, at the end of summer. The date
was also the eve of the New Year in both Celtic and Anglo-Saxon times and was
the occasion for one of the ancient fire festivals when huge bonfires were set
on hilltops to frighten away evil spirits. The souls of the dead were supposed
to revisit their homes on this day, and the autumnal festival acquired sinister
significance, with ghosts, witches, hobgoblins, black cats, fairies, and demons
of all kinds said to be roaming about.
Samhain, or Halloween, is the highest night of human
sacrifice on the Illuminati calendar. It is also considered a "Cross
Road," a very important symbol in the Illuminati. October 31 ends the
occultic year, whereas November 1 begins the new occultic year, therefore
making this date an important "Cross Road."Members of Wicca, the
modern-day name for Witchcraft, celebrate Halloween as one of their highest
holy days. They also gather on May 1st, May Day, the pagan festival of Ishtar.
Present-day witches claim they do not worship the devil,
Lucifer, or Satan. They say they believe "in a balance of both male and
female." Thus, they say, they worship the god and the goddess. They,
according to their literature, honor Mother Earth, and hold all of nature with
great respect.
However, the god and goddess they worship are the same gods
worshipped in ancient Babylon, Egypt, Rome and Greece - Nimrod (Tammuz) and
Semiramis, just with different names. These are pagan gods and have NOTHING to
do with the true God of the Bible.
What about Druids?
The Druids were "the learned class among the ancient
Celts, whose name means Knowing (or Finding) the Oak Tree. They seem to have
frequented oak forests and acted as priests, teachers, and judges. The earliest
known records of the Druids come from the 3rd century BC.
"In the early period, Druidic rites were held in
clearings in the forest. Sacred buildings were used only later under Roman
influence.
The Druids were suppressed in Gaul by the Romans under
Tiberius (reigned AD 14-37) and probably in Britain a little later."
Encyclopedia Britannica, Micropaedia III pg 674: 1976".
These Druidic rites are still celebrated by the elitist of
the U.S. and the world, every summer, at the Bohemian Grove, about 60 miles
north of San Francisco. Since 1873, the Global Elite have secret meetings in the ancient Redwood forest of Northern California.
Members of the so-called "Bohemian Club" include former presidents
Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan, and both Bush Presidents.
The Bush family maintains a strong involvement and
membership includes others of the rich and powerful. During the two-week
festival, a Druidic rite takes place with the leaders dressed in the Satanic
Druid garb, long red, black and silver robes with hoods.
During the ritual, there is the sacrifice of a human being (an effigy they claim), to the pagan god Molech, with accompanying screams of death of the victim broadcast over the audio system. A huge statue of an owl, representing the pagan god of wisdom, has been permanently built on the grounds and dominates the ritual.
It was the time to placate the supernatural powers controlling the processes of nature. The pagan observances influenced the Christian festival of All Hallows' Eve, celebrated on the same date." Encyclopedia Britannica, Micropedia IV, pg 862; 1976.
It is during these degenerate, perverted, debase proceedings
that many of the important U.S. and global political decisions are made by the
elitists. These are decisions that often have a very negative impact on the lives of
average, hard-working Americans.
This clearly shows that the ancient pagan, Satanic rituals
of the Druids are still being honored and embraced today by the global elite,
including many presidents, congressmen and senators who claim to be Christian.
No TRUE Christian could ever participate in a pagan ceremony such as this.
Not Valentine's Day too?
Valentine's day also has occultic origins. Cupid
(Tammuz/Osiris/Nimrod) is the son of the Greek goddess, Venus (Semiramis).
Venus, is the daughter of the Greek god Jupiter, the head god (Nimrod, the sun
god of Babylon, and Ra, the sun god of Egypt). Cupid is depicted with a bow and
arrow, a reminder of Nimrod being a "mighty hunter" Genesis 10:9.
Valentine's Day began as a pagan fertility rite celebrated
with drunkenness and sexual license during which time SWEETS and SPRING FLOWERS
were given as sacrifices to the gods in the temple.
Unfortunately, almost every holiday that is commonly
celebrated can be traced to pagan roots, including the lowly Ground Hog day.
Why & how Were These Pagan Holidays & Festivals
"Christianized"?
The Christianization of Pagan holidays began about the 312
A.D. when the Roman Emperor Constantine, became (or feigned becoming) a
Christian. In order to consolidate his rule, he incorporated the Pagan holidays
and festivals into the church ritual - attracting the Pagans, but he gave the
holidays and festivals new "Christian" names and identities - thus
appeasing the Christians. Over the centuries, this practice has continued until
the present time where we find the two systems, Paganism and Christianity,
almost indistinguishable.
This is the Adversary's clever deception - Paganism dressed
up in Christian clothes! It's still nothing more than Paganism, but the
Christian churches have wholeheartedly embraced this deception.
In closing I have highlighted all the facts you need to investigate this information for yourself. All these facts can be found with the help of an
Unabridged Webster Dictionary, the Worldwide Internet, Google, an Open mind and
a little bit of common sense. Don't forget to ask the Holy Spirit to help guide you on your way.
God Bless!!!
