Santa Claus or Satan Claws??? Part 1
Witness disguise throughout the Bible: H2664 chaphas--to be searched out, be exposed; to disguise oneself
1 Ki 20:38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised H2664 himself with ashes upon his face.
The Torah testifies...............

The prophets proclaim..................
1 Sa 28:8 And Saul disguised H2664 himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.
The writings bear witness...........................
1 Ki 22:30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise H2664 myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised H2664 himself, and went into the battle.
2 Ch 35:22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised H2664 himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

The horror to think that so many children put a glass of milk and a plate of cookies out for an imaginary Santa Claus that was supposedly going to break into the house without a key and no chimney. They would be lied to and made to believe that a complete stranger bought presents for them when it was their parents who showered them with love and good things in life.
And today, I am pleading with many of you parents not to defile the souls of your little ones with this idol named “Santa Claus,” who in reality is indeed Satan.
There is a photograph of a child who misspelled the name “Santa” as she wrote “I love Satan!” Do you see how easy it is to deceive children into worshiping Satan? Beloved, do not defile the precious souls of these little ones, as our Messiah warned us what would happen if we do:
Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Some of the Christmas Cards from Germany featuring the true identity of Santa Claus. This grotesque-looking creature is the real spirit of Santa Claus unmasked, and he is a demon spirit known in Germany as “Krampus.” This demon (according to folklore), is supposed to be the evil side-kick of Santa Claus himself or his “alter ego.” Krampus’ role is to scare children into being good. All year long children are taught that if they are “naughty” Krampus would come on Christmas with a switch and beat their bottoms. But if they were “nice” then Santa Clause would come and give them toys and treats. The invention of this creature comes from the popular medieval Christmas plays of the tenth through the sixteenth century. These miracle, moral, mystery and passion dramas acted out scenes from the scriptures and the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. Combining humor and religion, they flourished during the fifteenth century. It is significant that St. Nicholas was a dominant theme among these plays. Much of the myth and outlandish miracles of St. Nicholas originated from these dramas. And much of the bizarre characteristics of Santa were planted in these Christmas plays.---Siefker, Phyllis. Santa Claus, Last of the Wild Men: The Origins and Evolution of Saint Nicholas. Jefferson: McFarland & Company, Inc., 1997, p. 69
One of the bizarre jobs of St. Nick’s devilish helper was to “gleefully drag sinners to Hell!” On the eve of December 6th, the myth told that this bearded, white-haired old “saint,” clad in a wide mantel, rode through the skies on a white horse (the rider on a white horse in Revelation 6), together with his slave, the swarthy Dark Helper. This reluctant helper had to disperse gifts to good people, but much preferred to threaten them with his broom-like scourge, and, at a sign of his master, would gleefully drag sinners away to a place of eternal suffering---Renterghem, Tony van. When Santa Was a Shaman. St. Paul: Llewellyn Publications, 1995, p. 111
It is also alarming that Santa’s popular title, “Nick,” is also a common name for “the Devil.” “Old Nick” is a well-known British name for the Devil. “It seems probable that this name is derived from the Dutch Nikken, the devil.”----Shepard, Leslie A. Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology. New York: Gale Research Inc. 1991, p. 650 Nick, the devil---Skeat, Walter W. Concise Dictionary of English Etymology. Ware: Wordsworth Editions Ltd, 1993, p. 304
The Devil has other names besides the name Satan. He is also called Beelzebub or Lucifer. And in popular or rustic speech by many familiar terms as Old Nick---(Oxford English Dictionary). Nicholas is one of the most common devil’s names in German, a name that remains today when Satan is referred as Old Nick---Siefker, Phyllis. Santa Claus, Last of the Wild Men: The Origins and Evolution of Saint Nicholas. Jefferson: McFarland & Company, Inc., 1997, p. 69
There is another Christmas card from Austria, just before World War II. It features a Big Black Horned thing which is “Krampus,” once again the demon that comes with Santa bringing a “bag of Switches” for boys and girls that don’t behave. He would also kidnap and eat them. This is the origin of “Santa’s Little Helper” which later became the Elves at the North Pole. Every year in Austria they have a big party for him in December. Notice the children in the bag that he is kidnapping, and the pine branch from the x-mas tree he is about to beat that couple with, oh, and the goat horns and hooves, just like Baphomet, the goat demon worshiped in Freemasonry.
The German god “Ruebezahl” is a mixture of “Krampus” (the devil) and Santa. In Austria the strange and frightening creature, Krampus, is usually with St. Nicholas and often in chains, is dressed in fur with a scary mask and a long red tongue. Krampus carries a wooden stick or switches to threaten children who misbehave or do not know their lessons. There is an image with a little girl who is praying to the devil and asking for mercy. The creature is the “alter ego” of Santa Claus who would come to punish if the child has not been good all year long, but he comes as a benevolent jolly old fat man known as “Santa Claus” with toys and presents if the child has been good. Our Messiah Yahuwshuwa (Jesus) taught us not to fear evil, nor to fear the devil. We are only to fear The Most High who has the power to determine our eternal destiny:
Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into Hell (Gehenna); yes, I say unto you, Fear him.
Satan has successfully caused little children to fear him instead of our Creator The Most High:
Come, you children. . . I will teach you the fear of. . . Santa Claus? (Psalm 34:11)
“...You’d better watch out, You’d better not cry You’d better not pout, I’m telling you why Santa Claus is comin’ to town He’s making a list, He’s checking it twice He’s gonna find out Who’s naughty or nice...”
Children the world over are taught to FEAR Santa. “You’d better go to bed little boy,…..Santa is watching.”
Millions of fearful children are told, “You’d better behave, Santa is watching….. You might not get anything for Christmas.”
It is purely evil for parents to teach their children to fear the devil or Santa Clause. We are told that The Most High has not given us the spirit of fear:
2nd Timothy 1:7 For Elohiym (God) has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Romans 8:15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
We are commanded instead to fear The Most High the Creator of the Universe:
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of The Most High is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Psalm 111:10 The fear of The Most High is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures forever.
You will notice in many of the older Christmas Cards, Santa Claus looks a lot like the Pope carrying his Papal Staff, with his “Dagon” fish-god miter, and he is always with his alter ego, Satan----how telling!
Mystery Babylon the Great the Mother of Harlots is being true to her Babylonian roots by showing that she has adopted the head-dress of Dagon the fish-god of the Philistines in the Bible. The popes on certain occasions manifest by their head gear that they are acting as the direct representative of Dagon, the god of the Philistines (Palestinians).
As it was an indispensable rule in all idolatrous religions that the high priest should wear the insignia of the god that he worshipped, so the sculptures discovered by Layard show that the priests of Dagon were arrayed in clothing resembling fish. This is probably the ‘strange apparel’ referred to in Zephaniah 1:8. Berosus tells us that in the image of Dagon the head of the man appeared under the head of the fish, while Layard points out that in the case of the priests “the head of the fish formed a mitre above that of the man, while its scaly, fan-like tail fell as a cloak behind, leaving the human limbs and feet exposed.”---(Babylon and Nineveh, p. 343).
In the ancient legends of the Babylonians there was “Oannes” called “Lord of the Waves.” He was amphibious, having the torso and head of a man but upon his head was the head of a fish with gaping mouth and draping downward were the back of the fish, complete with scales and tail. The Sumerians called him “EA” and like Oannes - he was half fish and half man. He was called the great Fish of heaven. The Philistines called him “DAGON,” the fish god that is also mentioned in the Bible.---OANNES; part II, Vladimir Pakhomov taken from a history of Mesopotamia Written in the 3rd Century B.C. by Berossus; A Babylonian Priest.
The Doctrine of the Nicolaitanes
In his Revelation to the Seven Assemblies in Asia Minor, our Messiah specifically,” which is something he hates:
Revelation 2:6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
Revelation 2:15 So have you also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
What exactly is this doctrine that our Messiah hates? Well the root words come from two words:
Nicos = to dominate the people
Laity = the lay people who are not in leadership in the church
Hence this doctrine places other humans in the place of Messiah or Elohiym (God) in the life of the believer. What this means is that Popes, Bishops, Pastors, and Priests are put on a pedestal where they do not belong and the people are taught to put their trust in them for their salvation instead of Messiah himself. This doctrine teaches that people should not attempt to interpret scripture with the help of the Holy Spirit, but instead they should rely on “Church Fathers” and leaders to interpret scripture and to aid them in their path to salvation and eternal life. But our Messiah warned us not to call any church leader on earth “father”:
Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Our Messiah Yahuwshuwa (Jesus) taught us that the Holy Spirit is assigned to teach us and that we have no need to be taught any false doctrine that originates from humans:
1st Yahuwchanon (John) 2:27 But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.
The Role of the Papacy is to “dominate” the people with fear and to make them rely solely on him as the “visible image of Jesus Christ on earth,” as thus says Rome!
Santa (which means holy in Latin) is actually the Pope or Bishop of Rome who is called “Holy Father” as he is dressed very similar to Santa Claus and standing with his true “alter ego” Satan or Krampus the horned god or “Nimrod.” Santa Claus is also called “Father Christmas” and the Latin word for Father is “Pappas” where we get the word “Pope!”
Pope = Father Christ Mass who performs the Catholic Mass! The shocking truth is Santa Claus originated from a character identified as the devil or Satan.
In certain German children’s games, the Saint Nicholas figure itself is the Dark Helper, a devil who wants to punish children, but is stopped from doing so by Christ---Renterghem, Tony van. When Santa Was a Shaman. St. Paul: Llewellyn Publications, 1995, p. 105
St. Nicholas from whom we get “Santa Claus.” The name Nicholas, in Greek is “Niko-Laus” which means “one who RULES over the people.” The word “Santa” means “Holy” in Latin and hence we have a name that means “The Holy One Who Rules Over the People.” Instead of the coming Messiah who reigns, this guy’s name says that he wants to rule over the people instead. It is interesting to note also that the Latin language is what is commonly used in Witchcraft, incantations, spells and in Satanic rituals. It is because Latin is a language that has its roots in paganism from the start. It is no wonder that Latin is a language that uses the same letters for Satan in the word “Holy” (Santa). But in Hebrew (the original language of scripture), the word for “holy” is “qodesh” which has no resemblance to “Santa.”
The bizarre and mutual attributes of Thor and Santa are no accident. Author Tony Renterghem, concludes his extensive research into the origin of Santa with the following statement:
“I can only conclude that the original ancestor of our modern Santa Claus is none other than the mythological Dark Helper-a faint memory of Herne/Pan, the ancient shamanic nature spirit of the Olde Religion.”---(Renterghem, Tony “When Santa Was a Shaman.” St. Paul: Llewellyn Publications, 1995, p. 93).
Note: Herne or Pan is the horned god. It is common knowledge that Pan and Herne are popular names for Satan. The Satanic Bible lists Pan as one of the Infernal Names of Satan---(LaVey, Anton Szandor. The Satanic Bible. New York: Avon Books, Inc., 1969 p. 144).
“The fact is that Santa and Satan are alter egos, brothers; they have the same origin. . . On the surface, the two figures are polar opposites, but underneath they share the same parent, and both retain many of the old symbols associated with their ‘father’ . . . From these two paths, he arrived at both the warmth of our fireplace and in the flames of hell.”----(Siefker, Phyllis. Santa Claus, Last of the Wild Men: The Origins and Evolution of Saint Nicholas. Jefferson: McFarland & Company, Inc., 1997, p. 6)
Christian Mythology says that Santa keeps lists of good and bad children. If you are good you get a visit from Santa and he leaves toys. However, in turn-of-the-century Europe, if you were bad you got a visit from KRAMPUS! It was Krampus who gave coal and rocks to the naughty children. Sometimes, Krampus would beat the bad with switches, and if a child was especially naughty, he would shackle them in chains, stuff them in a bucket and throw them into the fiery pits of Hell!
Does anyone find it strange that children will go to bed every night talking to an invisible man that they believe will swoop down from the sky on a certain holiday and bring them rewards? But we are told in scripture that the Messiah will hand out rewards at his second coming:
1st Corinthians 13: 13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
“The King of Babylon” (Nimrod) because he was “cut down” like a tree as his limbs were severed by Noah’s son Shem and they were sent to all the provinces in the land of Shinar---The book of Jasher; The Two Babylons, by Alexander Hislop; The Antiquities, Josephus.
Considering Santa you cannot miss his “alter ego,” who has followed him like a dark shadow since ancient times. There is a devil, called Percht, Bartl, “KRAMPUS” (the Devil), Knecht Ruprecht, or Rotsohler, accompanying Santa Claus in the European Alps. He shows the pre-Christian origin of this custom as a daemon trabant. We should mention here also another figure: Ruebezahl, who is a German mythical, giant-like person, who is a mixture of Krampus (the Devil) and Santa.”----Santa’s Origin; by Sepp Rothwangl
We often repeat the famous quote of Santa Clause in Christmas songs such as “Ho, Ho, Ho, who wouldn’t go, Ho, Ho, Ho, who wouldn’t go...” But do we realize what we are teaching our children to say?
“Ho, Ho, Ho” comes from a Roman Requirement that during Saturnalia citizens had to appear before the temple of Saturn (Baal) and yell, “Lo, Lo, Lo, Saturn” three times translated as, “Praise, Praise, Praise Saturn as god!”----From: The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic, an Introduction to the Study of the Religion of the Romans, W. Warde Fowler [1847 - 1921], Macmillan, 1899.
“There are several well-attested features of the Saturnalia as it was in historical times. On Dec. 17th there was a public sacrifice at the temple (formerly the era) of Saturn by the Forum, followed by a public feast, in breaking up from which the feasters shouted ‘Io Saturnalia!’”
How St. Nicholas became Santa Claus
Nicholas was born in Parara, Turkey in 270 C.E. and later became Bishop of Myra. He died in 345 C.E. on December 6th. He was not canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church until the 1800’s.
Nicholas was among the most senior bishops who convened the Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E. and created the New Testament. The text they produced portrayed Hebrews as “the children of the devil” who sentenced Jesus to death.
In 1087, a group of sailors who idolized Nicholas moved his bones from Turkey to a sanctuary in Bari, Italy. There Nicholas supplanted a female boon-giving deity called The Grandmother, or Pasqua Epiphania, who used to fill the children’s stockings with her gifts. The Grandmother was ousted from her shrine at Bari, which became the center of the Nicholas cult. Members of this group gave each other gifts during a pageant they conducted annually on the anniversary of Nicholas’ death, December 6.
The Nicholas cult spread north until it was adopted by German and Celtic pagans. These groups worshipped a pantheon led by Woden –their chief god and the father of Thor, Balder, and Tiw. Woden had a long, white beard and rode a horse through the heavens one evening each Autumn. When Nicholas merged with Woden, he shed his Mediterranean appearance, grew a beard, mounted a flying horse, rescheduled his flight for December, and donned heavy winter clothing.
In a bid for pagan adherents in Northern Europe, the Catholic Church adopted the Nicholas cult and taught that he did (and they should) distribute gifts on December 25th instead of December 6th.
There is a picture of Santa Claus shaking hands with the Pope or Bishop of Rome. These two characters have “merged” into one and the same persona!
Saint Nicholas, a fourth century Catholic Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, who gave treats to children; was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, as patron saint to sailors, pawnbrokers and children. Santa Claus or “Father Christmas” is a corruption of the Dutch “Sant Nikolaas.” The red suit comes from the fact that Catholic bishops and cardinals in Italy wear red. Also, according to tradition, a poor widower of Myra had three daughters, for whom she could not provide a dowry. On Xmas-Eve, “Saint Nicholas” threw three bags of gold down the chimney, thereby saving the daughters from having to enter into prostitution. One bag rolled into a shoe, and the others fell into some stockings that had been hung to dry by the fire, hence, the beginning of the tradition of the “Christmas stocking.”
But the Santa Claus concept originally came from ancient Egypt. The pagan Egyptian god, Bes, was a rounded, gnome-like personage who was the patron of little children. Bes was said to live at the North Pole, working all year-round to produce toys for children who had been good and obedient to their parents. In Dutch, he was called “Sinter Klaas.” The custom was brought to America by Dutch settlers. In European countries, Santa Claus was originally a grim personage who traversed the countryside, determined to find out who had been “naughty or nice.” Those who had been naughty were quickly switched.
Santa Claus is usually associated with snow, reindeer, and the North Pole, which suggests Scandinavian or Norse traditions of the Yuletide season. In Babylonia, the stag (reindeer) was a symbol of Nimrod, the mighty hunter. Antlers worn on the head of a noble leader symbolized his prowess as a hunter, and thereby, influence people to follow him. Santa is often looked upon as a jolly old man giving gifts to children and keeping the “magic” of Christmas alive, but, the Christmas spirit, is the spirit of lies, the spirit of deception, the season when the lonely are made to feel unwanted, when people get more depressed and suicidal, and when the hypocrites are generous for a season, celebrating their perpetual lie.
And today, I am pleading with many of you parents not to defile the souls of your little ones with this idol named “Santa Claus,” who in reality is indeed Satan.
There is a photograph of a child who misspelled the name “Santa” as she wrote “I love Satan!” Do you see how easy it is to deceive children into worshiping Satan? Beloved, do not defile the precious souls of these little ones, as our Messiah warned us what would happen if we do:
Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Children the world over are taught to FEAR Santa. “You’d better go to bed little boy,…..Santa is watching.”
Millions of fearful children are told, “You’d better behave, Santa is watching….. You might not get anything for Christmas.”
It is purely evil for parents to teach their children to fear the devil or Santa Clause. We are told that The Most High has not given us the spirit of fear:
2nd Timothy 1:7 For Elohiym (God) has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Romans 8:15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
We are commanded instead to fear The Most High the Creator of the Universe:
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of The Most High is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The Doctrine of the Nicolaitanes
In his Revelation to the Seven Assemblies in Asia Minor, our Messiah specifically,” which is something he hates:
Revelation 2:6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
Revelation 2:15 So have you also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
What exactly is this doctrine that our Messiah hates? Well the root words come from two words:
Nicos = to dominate the people
Laity = the lay people who are not in leadership in the church
Hence this doctrine places other humans in the place of Messiah or Elohiym (God) in the life of the believer. What this means is that Popes, Bishops, Pastors, and Priests are put on a pedestal where they do not belong and the people are taught to put their trust in them for their salvation instead of Messiah himself. This doctrine teaches that people should not attempt to interpret scripture with the help of the Holy Spirit, but instead they should rely on “Church Fathers” and leaders to interpret scripture and to aid them in their path to salvation and eternal life. But our Messiah warned us not to call any church leader on earth “father”:
Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Our Messiah Yahuwshuwa (Jesus) taught us that the Holy Spirit is assigned to teach us and that we have no need to be taught any false doctrine that originates from humans:
1st Yahuwchanon (John) 2:27 But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.
The Role of the Papacy is to “dominate” the people with fear and to make them rely solely on him as the “visible image of Jesus Christ on earth,” as thus says Rome!
Santa (which means holy in Latin) is actually the Pope or Bishop of Rome who is called “Holy Father” as he is dressed very similar to Santa Claus and standing with his true “alter ego” Satan or Krampus the horned god or “Nimrod.” Santa Claus is also called “Father Christmas” and the Latin word for Father is “Pappas” where we get the word “Pope!”
Pope = Father Christ Mass who performs the Catholic Mass! The shocking truth is Santa Claus originated from a character identified as the devil or Satan.
In certain German children’s games, the Saint Nicholas figure itself is the Dark Helper, a devil who wants to punish children, but is stopped from doing so by Christ---Renterghem, Tony van. When Santa Was a Shaman. St. Paul: Llewellyn Publications, 1995, p. 105
St. Nicholas from whom we get “Santa Claus.” The name Nicholas, in Greek is “Niko-Laus” which means “one who RULES over the people.” The word “Santa” means “Holy” in Latin and hence we have a name that means “The Holy One Who Rules Over the People.” Instead of the coming Messiah who reigns, this guy’s name says that he wants to rule over the people instead. It is interesting to note also that the Latin language is what is commonly used in Witchcraft, incantations, spells and in Satanic rituals. It is because Latin is a language that has its roots in paganism from the start. It is no wonder that Latin is a language that uses the same letters for Satan in the word “Holy” (Santa). But in Hebrew (the original language of scripture), the word for “holy” is “qodesh” which has no resemblance to “Santa.”
The bizarre and mutual attributes of Thor and Santa are no accident. Author Tony Renterghem, concludes his extensive research into the origin of Santa with the following statement:
“I can only conclude that the original ancestor of our modern Santa Claus is none other than the mythological Dark Helper-a faint memory of Herne/Pan, the ancient shamanic nature spirit of the Olde Religion.”---(Renterghem, Tony “When Santa Was a Shaman.” St. Paul: Llewellyn Publications, 1995, p. 93).
Note: Herne or Pan is the horned god. It is common knowledge that Pan and Herne are popular names for Satan. The Satanic Bible lists Pan as one of the Infernal Names of Satan---(LaVey, Anton Szandor. The Satanic Bible. New York: Avon Books, Inc., 1969 p. 144).
“The fact is that Santa and Satan are alter egos, brothers; they have the same origin. . . On the surface, the two figures are polar opposites, but underneath they share the same parent, and both retain many of the old symbols associated with their ‘father’ . . . From these two paths, he arrived at both the warmth of our fireplace and in the flames of hell.”----(Siefker, Phyllis. Santa Claus, Last of the Wild Men: The Origins and Evolution of Saint Nicholas. Jefferson: McFarland & Company, Inc., 1997, p. 6)
Christian Mythology says that Santa keeps lists of good and bad children. If you are good you get a visit from Santa and he leaves toys. However, in turn-of-the-century Europe, if you were bad you got a visit from KRAMPUS! It was Krampus who gave coal and rocks to the naughty children. Sometimes, Krampus would beat the bad with switches, and if a child was especially naughty, he would shackle them in chains, stuff them in a bucket and throw them into the fiery pits of Hell!
Does anyone find it strange that children will go to bed every night talking to an invisible man that they believe will swoop down from the sky on a certain holiday and bring them rewards? But we are told in scripture that the Messiah will hand out rewards at his second coming:
1st Corinthians 13: 13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
“The King of Babylon” (Nimrod) because he was “cut down” like a tree as his limbs were severed by Noah’s son Shem and they were sent to all the provinces in the land of Shinar---The book of Jasher; The Two Babylons, by Alexander Hislop; The Antiquities, Josephus.
Considering Santa you cannot miss his “alter ego,” who has followed him like a dark shadow since ancient times. There is a devil, called Percht, Bartl, “KRAMPUS” (the Devil), Knecht Ruprecht, or Rotsohler, accompanying Santa Claus in the European Alps. He shows the pre-Christian origin of this custom as a daemon trabant. We should mention here also another figure: Ruebezahl, who is a German mythical, giant-like person, who is a mixture of Krampus (the Devil) and Santa.”----Santa’s Origin; by Sepp Rothwangl
We often repeat the famous quote of Santa Clause in Christmas songs such as “Ho, Ho, Ho, who wouldn’t go, Ho, Ho, Ho, who wouldn’t go...” But do we realize what we are teaching our children to say?
“Ho, Ho, Ho” comes from a Roman Requirement that during Saturnalia citizens had to appear before the temple of Saturn (Baal) and yell, “Lo, Lo, Lo, Saturn” three times translated as, “Praise, Praise, Praise Saturn as god!”----From: The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic, an Introduction to the Study of the Religion of the Romans, W. Warde Fowler [1847 - 1921], Macmillan, 1899.
“There are several well-attested features of the Saturnalia as it was in historical times. On Dec. 17th there was a public sacrifice at the temple (formerly the era) of Saturn by the Forum, followed by a public feast, in breaking up from which the feasters shouted ‘Io Saturnalia!’”
How St. Nicholas became Santa Claus
Nicholas was born in Parara, Turkey in 270 C.E. and later became Bishop of Myra. He died in 345 C.E. on December 6th. He was not canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church until the 1800’s.
Nicholas was among the most senior bishops who convened the Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E. and created the New Testament. The text they produced portrayed Hebrews as “the children of the devil” who sentenced Jesus to death.
In 1087, a group of sailors who idolized Nicholas moved his bones from Turkey to a sanctuary in Bari, Italy. There Nicholas supplanted a female boon-giving deity called The Grandmother, or Pasqua Epiphania, who used to fill the children’s stockings with her gifts. The Grandmother was ousted from her shrine at Bari, which became the center of the Nicholas cult. Members of this group gave each other gifts during a pageant they conducted annually on the anniversary of Nicholas’ death, December 6.
The Nicholas cult spread north until it was adopted by German and Celtic pagans. These groups worshipped a pantheon led by Woden –their chief god and the father of Thor, Balder, and Tiw. Woden had a long, white beard and rode a horse through the heavens one evening each Autumn. When Nicholas merged with Woden, he shed his Mediterranean appearance, grew a beard, mounted a flying horse, rescheduled his flight for December, and donned heavy winter clothing.
In a bid for pagan adherents in Northern Europe, the Catholic Church adopted the Nicholas cult and taught that he did (and they should) distribute gifts on December 25th instead of December 6th.
There is a picture of Santa Claus shaking hands with the Pope or Bishop of Rome. These two characters have “merged” into one and the same persona!
Saint Nicholas, a fourth century Catholic Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, who gave treats to children; was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, as patron saint to sailors, pawnbrokers and children. Santa Claus or “Father Christmas” is a corruption of the Dutch “Sant Nikolaas.” The red suit comes from the fact that Catholic bishops and cardinals in Italy wear red. Also, according to tradition, a poor widower of Myra had three daughters, for whom she could not provide a dowry. On Xmas-Eve, “Saint Nicholas” threw three bags of gold down the chimney, thereby saving the daughters from having to enter into prostitution. One bag rolled into a shoe, and the others fell into some stockings that had been hung to dry by the fire, hence, the beginning of the tradition of the “Christmas stocking.”
But the Santa Claus concept originally came from ancient Egypt. The pagan Egyptian god, Bes, was a rounded, gnome-like personage who was the patron of little children. Bes was said to live at the North Pole, working all year-round to produce toys for children who had been good and obedient to their parents. In Dutch, he was called “Sinter Klaas.” The custom was brought to America by Dutch settlers. In European countries, Santa Claus was originally a grim personage who traversed the countryside, determined to find out who had been “naughty or nice.” Those who had been naughty were quickly switched.
Santa Claus is usually associated with snow, reindeer, and the North Pole, which suggests Scandinavian or Norse traditions of the Yuletide season. In Babylonia, the stag (reindeer) was a symbol of Nimrod, the mighty hunter. Antlers worn on the head of a noble leader symbolized his prowess as a hunter, and thereby, influence people to follow him. Santa is often looked upon as a jolly old man giving gifts to children and keeping the “magic” of Christmas alive, but, the Christmas spirit, is the spirit of lies, the spirit of deception, the season when the lonely are made to feel unwanted, when people get more depressed and suicidal, and when the hypocrites are generous for a season, celebrating their perpetual lie.
Shema Selah what lies have you been taught that you are now teaching your children??? Deuteronomy 6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. https://youtu.be/2gQkAK1eEoQ
