But take a look around during the Christmas season. What do you see?
Representations of Santa, a sleigh, reindeer and snowmen are the most
prevalent. Here in the USA, public schools are not allowed to mention the Name
of Christ, but odes and carols about a tree (O Christmas Tree), ìSatan Clawsî
(Santa Claus is Coming to Town), 3 wise men (We Three Kings) etc are
completely acceptable.
According to the Bible, Jesus Christ is:ìFar above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion,
and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in
that which is to come.î Ephesians 1:21 (emphasis mine)
And look around at your church during the Christmas season. What do you see?Do you see a tree that has been shaped liked an Egyptian pyramid, complete
with the star of Ishtar, or an angel at its very peak above everything else?
ìAnd when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before
the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he
unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy
brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this
book: worship God.î Revelation 22:8b-9
Is it decorated with the symbols of the sun and moon, with neatly wrapped
packages laid beneath it? Are evergreen wreaths, holly and poinsettias adorning
the sanctuary that is supposed to be reserved for the worship of the most High
God?
All of these things are tied directly to the ancient Roman Saturnalia and Santa
(Satan)! Even if there is not a representation of Ole Saint Nick in your church or
home, are any of the other symbols of the Roman Saturnalia? Is there a Nativity
scene anywhere in sight, those small statues representing the so-called first
Christmas?
As so well depicted in the movie ìThe Gladiatorî, and as is common in the
Roman Institution, carved representatives of humans were born in the idolatrous
practices of old. Those that follow Wicca and Celtic witchcraft also decorate their
homes with such trappings during the Solstice season.
