Well with the holidays coming up I was digging through all the information I've saved on Santa. I've dug much further than just the old American stories of Saint Nicholas and let me tell you this for certain. Nobody is telling the full story. To find it you have to dig through many cultures, multiple countries and even past civilizations. I'm going to Propose that it's been the same characters in different appearances for thousands of years. Their gold would be to blend in with different cultures in order to be worshipped by them in one way or another.

this article does not aim to explain everything it proposes in great detail. no single article can prove to you all that I'm about to point out but it may give you enough reason to start looking into each part on your own. This is a massive topic.

‍

To begin we know the odd stories of Santa-like figures that suspiciously come to punish little children who were bad during the year.

Saint Nicholas & His Pet Demon

Did you know this goes even further than that? Sure you did! We've all heard of Saint Nicholas. Some of us have heard the story of him saving some girls from some evil kidnapper. I'd explain, but it's really not that important, because outside the United States people seems tell a few different details of the man. He used to run around with a demon name Krampus, kidnapping children and even feeding them to this demon. That is if your children were bad.

Lets just be clear up front that this in no way shape or form represents the BEHAVIOR OF the Most High god, who is our righteous Heavenly Father.

So anyone who claims Saint Nicholas is some type of Christ-like figure is just very ignorant to the entirey of this mans myths and legends.

‍

You may remember from The Office when Dwight comes in dress as this loser. Well that's 100% Krampus, just with a different twist for a different culture. Soak on that point point for as long as you need to because that's a key element of what Satan has done since the beginning. Are you starting to see what he is disguising himself as now? It certainly seems a lot more harmless, but it's absolutely the same. Hold on, we're getting there.

So saint Nicholas is where we get the character known as Santa today.

History of Saint Nicholas

Dig into this on your own, but one interesting fact is that Saint Nicholas was a part of the Council of Nicaea.  What would this evil character have to do with Christianity? One thing on the agenda for this event was deciding whether or not to include certain books into our modern canon of the Bible. Rethink that sentence - that means that one - they took books out that the early church held dear and two - "Saint Nick" had his hands in it. What??

That's really sketchy the more you think about it. I know this is just a quick search, but that's just to show that you can access this information easily. Feel free to look into it more on your own.

Old Nick Definition

Let's toss this out here briefly.

Theres an old saying referring to an "Old Nick" and the dictionary says this means the Devil. Other synonyms are Beelzebub, Satan, Lucifer, fiend, serpent and even archfiend. If I were to here "He gave me a look that would scare Old Nick" without knowing this this, I certain would think of Saint Nicholas wouldn't you? Odd. Very odd.

Reminds me of in those Left Behind movies, the Satan character was called Nicholas Carpatheuos. (Or something like that.)

Hang with me it's going to make more sense here soon.

"Santa" Is An Anagram for Satan

So on this same vein, isn't it odd that if you scramble the words in Santa around you can spell "Satan."

It's not concrete, but do you see how all these odd little things start to add up as you keep digging?

The Coca-Cola Santa

On one spectrum Coca-Cola has high-jacked this figure and used him as a marketing ploy. I want you to remember this, because by the end of this article you will see why they use this guy to make chemicals seems appealing.

Santa Is Really Suspiciously Similar to Odin

Ok so let me just get this straight for y'all whoa re new to this. Odin is straight up Satan, just remodeled to reflect another cultures beliefs and values. Check out the similarities really quick. I know it's not concrete, but you have to dig more. This can be a fun little study, but I'll get you started.

‍

Despite only having so much evidence in this article, it does go to show that there isn't anything new under the sun.

Take a Breather & Recap

Ok so we call Santa "Saint Nick", who is really creepy and sketchy and they seem to have extreme similarities to Odin - who closely resembles Satan in a side-by-side.

Who's Birthday is on December 25th?

Ok, now let's get into the Birthday celebration aspect. In order to do so we have to go back much further in time, to the tower of Babel where things get nasty after the great Flood of Noah's days. Who did they worship and is there a possibility that these "gods" never really change?

Take a look at this chart and zoom in if you need to.

Well thats a great lineup of the biggest losers of all time. See how we just went from Odin to St Nicholas and then the similarities stick around even through to Santa. If Santa is rooted in Nimrod it would make sense that he would take on all sorts of aspects similar to Satan as a sign of allegiance to the god he worships.

Nimrod was known as a epic warrior who inspired the building of the tower of Babel and he died but would actually come back to life one day and oddly enough in Canaanite culture you have Ba'al - same thing - and Osiris in Egyptian also is supposed to return from the dead. these are literally all the same unclean spirit or entity and the more you dig, the closer you'll see it. This guy is in the book of Revelation too.

This to me, sounds like the False Prophet of Revelation 11 when it describes him as:

"The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go into destruction; and those dwelling on the earth whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will wonder, seeing the beast which was, and is not, and yet will be."

How could it not be if this guy has been creeping his way in the worship of every single culture until at the end he returns and the majority of the world worships him one final time. It makes perfect sense, but it's just a theory to think about.

‍

Osiris is often depicted with a crook, which is a symbol of his so-called divinity (haha yeah right) which looks awful similar to a candy cane. I'll let you think what you want on that one. Learn more on Wikipedia if you want..

‍

Santa's Elves...lol

Let's throw this in here for good measure too, but I also wan to ad a caveat to the graphic below. First take a look at this:

I've studies these losers quite a bit and from my research, Azazel tends to lend himself more to Satan and Nimrod more closely represents the 1st Beast of Revelation. Here's a better graphic, but you can still see how the connections are still to character who would ultimately worship Satan.

This graphic is really interesting and even just searching these modern depictions , you begin to see that whoever made these, really knew what they were doing. These are consistently the same characters but twisted to match the culture of the time and they absolutely were worshipped back then.

What does that say about Santa. Is he just another form of one of these losers who matches OUR culture to get us to worship him? Telling his story every years, leaving him cookie, lying to children to keep him "alive." I don't know, but it just seems to fit.

All these have one important thing in common: Sun Worship

Now you're about to understand who's birthday in on December 25th. Hold on to your pants.

‍

Ok so all of the loser gods mentioned above in reference to Nimrod were all linked to Sun Worship in one way or another and theres a reason why they celebrated those Gods on December 25th. So after digging really deep into ancient pagan gods, we see that we are trying to celebrate Jesus on a day that he was not born on and it happens to be a day that has been dedicated to the worship of an entity who could even end up being the False prophet in Revelation. Perhaps it really is Satan. He doesn't make it easy to figure this out, but this is how Satan get the praise he so desperately wants. He can't be obvious so he sneaks it in and just laughs at us while we blindly follow tradition.

‍

Sun Worship Is the Opposite of Jesus In So Many Ways

Here is a very good explanation of how the worship of the Sun is Nimrod and how he is in every way the antithesis of Jesus. So again why are we celebrating Jesus on a day thats about Nimrod?

‍

Can You Celebrate Jesus anytime?

Of course you can, but the question I ask myself is "Does it please the Most High?" I'm going to say no personally, because there's a lot of scripture that shows us how much Yahweh hates it when we follow the tradition of the world and call it celebration to him (or His son). Check these verses out. You may want to save them all for later.

Look here Israel got impatient and worshipped none other than Ba'al , because that's what they were used to doing in Egypt. (Thats's called tradition) They they called this is "feast to Yahweh." Is this not what we're doing inadvertantly and ignorantly. Let's keep reading....

You caould also argue that this describes the making of the Ashera pole, not the Christmas tree and that's likely acurate. Maybe it's not about whether or not we have the same item, but do we treat them similarly? The thing that gets me in the graphic above is the Hebrew word "shachah" means to bown down and to me it sounds just like the occult to get us to unwilling do something close to the pagan. By putting the gifts under the tree its it like we have to bow down to get them. Why do they always have to go under the tree? See what I mean...? Perhaps this is only for the occults amusement, but I'd like to stay away from anything remotely close to any pagan ritual. That's for you to soak on and decide whenever.

Look at this verse in Amos 5, there is clear cut evidence that there at times when we think we're worshipping God and in fact he hates it. Won't even hear our songs to him! Whoah! I sure hate the thought of this happening around Christmas time.

This makes me wonder if we have ignorantly been taught the ways of the heathen? God forgives us in our ignorance, but I think once we've been convicted He expects us to obey. Somthing to think about. How do feel at this point?

Also The Early Church Hated Birthdays

Base on early Christian writings it looks like they did not like birthday celebrations. I wonder if they would have  thought it heretical to celebrate Jesus birthday? Whoever instituted birthdays in our culture clearly gave them new meaning, however they are quite selfish and God hates selfishness. Check out this quote and think on it:

‍

When Was Jesus Really Born?

He is the Lamb of God, so seems like he would have been born in the spring at the beginning of the year when there is new life everywhere. March and April is when the lambs are born, so solid chance it's in that time.

There is also speculation that it was on September 11th based on tracking the stars I think.

What ever the day is, I imagine if the early church didn't celebrate it then nobody cared to take note of it or at least not to include it in their writings. It's  common knowledge that Jesus was not born on December 25th and even though pastors will tell you that, we continue to do it anyway. Isn't that odd?

So there isn't a Biblical president for this celebration, but that begs the question:

Is there a biblical precedent for celebrating Jesus? Perhaps something we can do instead? Perhaps something that tHat Undoubtedly will glorify the Most high? This was my question and for a year or so I didn't have an answer until we came across this...

"When Do We Celebration Jesus If Not on Christmas?"

Awesome question and everyone asks its after hearing all this. First of all ff Christ isn't something we remember most everyday and teach our children, then we need to get a better grasp of what he's done, because you truly can't forget about it during the year. It becomes woven in your life, your conversation and more because that's what you care about.

But if you really want to party I found a way that is awesome. The Bible tells us how we can stop and remind ourselves of what Jesus has done and what he will do and how all will be restored back to perfection with our Heavenly Father.

Scripture tells us about the Feast that Yahweh and in genesis he builds creation around these very days. they are the precise way He wants us to celebrate Jesus.

God Made His Own Holy Days

At first, I thought they were just for Israel or Jewish people, but in reality since we are part of the family of Christ, there is no greek, nor Jew, just brothers and sisters in Christ under our Heavenly Father and so we should follow the Feasts He set in place because they are times for us to meet with Him in special ways through out the year. Some of them even declare they are to be done forever! Even during Jesus 1000 year reign the people outside the New Jerusalem who don't keep the Feast of Booths (aka Tabernacles) will not get rain for a year.

Everyone one of the Feast reminds us of what God did and what Jesus is going to do and how it's all going to be restored to perfection! You can use any of these celebrations to reflect on Jesus birth, but they are about so much more. They are about the big picture plan to save humanity! So we get to truly celebrate Jesus the way God and all the Hebrews did even before Jesus showed up on the scene AND it covers the WHOLE story and not just Jesus' birth. (Which is wonderful!) Did you know everyone of the 7 feast points to Jesus and they always did. you'll see it once you step into it.

No the Feast are not all the things Judaism has added to it. They're quite simple and because we are no longer under the law thanks to Jesus, we can celebrate these the best we know how (even if not perfectly), in gratefulness and obedience to our Heavenly Father. Just simply because it pleases Him and he asked us to.

However we also see precedence in Scripture that we will be celebrating these in a restored heaven and earth for all eternity - so you could look at it as practice too, I guess haha! Really, it's perfect and I now see why it's so much better than our man-made "holy days." The true Holy Days are the ones from our Heavenly Father and His way is always (everyone say it with me now...) PERFECT!

We're Almost Done

Its' really hard to break free of our traditions, but take all this information, pray over it and ask the Most High God, our Heavenly Father what He would have you do. Of course no one wants to celebrate Jesus in a way that gives any credence to Satan or sun worship, but unfortunately our history is pretty jacked up and weird stuff happened that we just are not told. that makes it really easy to fall for these kind of traps.

It's up to you to decide if this matters to you, but if you are like me and kind of saw it, but needed a bit more information, I hope this helps you. Step into it with prayer and ask God to do all the hard work for you. He brought us friends right next door who were at the same place and has shown us each year how to closer celebrate the way He asks. It's been very fun for our family and a fantastic way to learn parts of Scripture I was never taught. Yes the feast are more fun than Christmas and unlike the tradition holidays that are always paired with earthly distractions, Gods feast are purely about Him. Trust me, that makes it way more fun, but you won't understand until you still into it in faith. He will guide you one little step at a time.

I dug through all this so that you can use this article to make sharing it a bit easer. Not everyone has time or mental capacity to stop and listen to all is information, nor do we always have these graphics readily available. May the Most High Bless you and keep you until we are with Him always, with complete understanding and wisdom. They won't be able to pull the wool over our eyes forever. We'll all have a big laugh about it one day I'm sure. Hahah!

All Glory to the Most High!

Still Want To Keep Digging??

You sound like me! I respect that. Here is a great place to start. I learned an incredible amount about the history of Santa from this long, info packed video from Mind Unveiled's youtube account. He is one of the most thorough researchers I've ever seen on some of the most bizarre topics and he is really chill and light hearted about it. Very easy to listen to.
