He lost the battle and was banished from Heaven. It was at this time that his
name was changed to Satan.
ìAnd there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought
against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And
prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in
heaven.î Revelation 12:7-8
Now he is the sworn enemy of the LORD and everything that God cherishes ñ
especially those that follow Jesus Christ.
But he still seeks to be adored. His greatest triumph would have been to get the
very God that created him to bow down in worship.
ìAnd the devil, taking (Jesus) up into an high mountain, [showed]
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and
the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to
whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all
shall be thine.î Luke 4:5-7
ìAnd Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me,
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and
him only shalt thou serve.î Luke 4:8
Satan couldnít get the Lord Jesus to bow down to him, so why not go for the next
best thing? Get those that claim to follow Christ to bow down and worship him
while believing that they are truly worshipping God!
Since adoration of the sun god is one of Satanís main avenues to receive
worship from man, the ìChristî in Christmas is none other than the devil himself.
Using treachery and deception, the world in general and multitudes of Christians
have been deceived into honoring the devil through the celebration of the sun god.
The false christ
Satanís goals are be like the most High God. But he is not just another christ, he
is also a false christ.
He lusts to be worshipped, and will use whatever means possible to attain that
goal. The hunger to take to himself the adoration that belongs solely to the LORD
God Almighty, is all consuming.
The worldwide celebrations that occur on December 25th were begun by man as
the day to honor the re-birth of the sun god. But this holiday was conceived in the
heart of Satan, and ultimately, as man partakes of the celebration, it is the devil
that receives the worship.
