CHRISTMAS

December 25th — The Birth of the Sun God

YHWH's Warning

"Do not learn the ways of the nations... they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter."

— Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 10:1-4

The Evergreen Tree

The tree symbolizes the resurrection of Nimrod — celebrated during winter solstice thousands of years before the Mashiach.

Queen Semiramis told her subjects that a full-grown evergreen tree spawned from a dead stump, symbolizing Nimrod's rebirth. The Egyptians used green palm leaves during solstice as symbols of life conquering death.

The Yule Log

Yule derives from Old English ġéol — a 12-day pagan festival later renamed "Christmastide" by Greeks.

The burning log was a magical amulet in Britannia and paid homage to the sun god in Rome during Saturnalia. Families across Europe still burn the badnjak with prayers to their "god" for prosperity.

December 25th — Winter Solstice

This date represents death — the sun visible for the shortest time. It was the birthday of:

Tammuz/Nimrod (Ba'al) — Sumer
Horus/Osiris/Ra — Egypt
Saturn — Rome (Saturnalia)

Constantine simply relabeled this pagan birthday as "Christ's birth" in the 4th century to unify pagans with Christians.

Saturnalia — Festival of Chaos

A week-long Roman festival (Dec 17-25) where law was suspended and chaos celebrated. Courts closed; crimes went unpunished.

Lucian documented: "widespread intoxication, singing naked house to house (precursor to carolling), human-shaped biscuits (gingerbread men), and human sacrifice."

Early "Christmas" was celebrated with drinking, depravity, and naked singing — traditions Constantine allowed pagans to continue under the new Christian label.
