Should You Be Merry About Christ-Mass?




The phrase “Merry Christmas” has become so commonplace in our culture, that few people stop to think about what those words actually mean.




Our Messiah warned us against speaking words from our lips that do not bear positive fruit in our lives. Therefore, you should carefully research the meaning behind these famous words before you utter them from your lips.




In the following passage of scripture, the Greek word “idle” has the following definition: “Lazy, useless, barren, inactive, unemployed.” This means that any words we utter from our lips should carry with it, a sentiment that is truly heart-felt and based on the truth of scripture. Speaking words out of ignorance, (or words that carry a negative meaning), will nonetheless cause us to be judged.




Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.




Getting to the Roots of The Mass of Christ




In order to understand the true meaning of the phrase “Merry Christmas,” we must delve into the roots of the Roman Catholic Ceremony that is called “The Mass of Christ.”




The originator of this ceremony, (the Roman Catholic Church), is identified in the book of Revelation, where all of her characteristics are spelled out plainly.




The book of Revelation is one of the most important books in the entire Bible because it is “the revelation” of our Messiah Yahuwshuwa. Because this book is filled with mysterious language and symbolism, people often-times relegate this book to obscurity and treat it as something that should be avoided. Nevertheless, our creator, The Most High has given us all the keys to unlock the mysteries of this book in the TaNaKh (law, prophets & writings) or what many erroneously call “The Old Testament.”




Many have tried to interpret the book of Revelation without first having a foundation in the rudimentary principles of the Towrah (Mosaic Law), and this is why they run into a dead-end when trying to understand this book. We are told by the Almighty himself that a special blessing awaits those who read, hear, understand, and keep those things which are “written therein” (Revelation 1:3).




In the 17th Chapter of Revelation, we are shown a “woman” who is clothed in scarlet & purple, and many have speculated as to who this woman might be. But without having a deeply-rooted understanding of the Towrah, (where the meaning of these colors are first mentioned), this prophecy will never be properly understood. We are now going to unlock the mystery of who this “woman” is.




Chazown (Revelation) 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahuwshuwa: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.




Who is this woman that is clothed in scarlet & purple? Who is “Mystery Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots?”




The true body of Messiah is called “the bride” in Ephesians 5:23. However, if the bride commits adultery by worshiping other false deities, (and she attaches her husband’s name to those deities), she is committing spiritual fornication and adultery against him. In Hosea 2:5, the nation of Yisra’el was once called the “bride” of The Most High, but she had turned aside to worship her false pagan deities and she went after her lovers. He then called her a “harlot” (see Ezekiel 23:5-44; Hosea 4:15; Jeremiah 3:8).




Those who say that they are “married to Jesus,” and yet they worship him in the same manner that the heathens worship their gods are committing harlotry (whoredom) against their maker. We are going to find out in a moment how ancient Yisra’el became “a harlot,” and why today she is disguised as “the bride of Christ.” She has departed from him and yet she pretends to belong to him. In Hosea 1:9-10 The Most High declared to Yisra’el “you are not my people” even though at one time they were his people.




Some might rationalize that the Roman Catholic Church has chosen these colors of scarlet and purple by mere coincidence. However, there is other corroborating evidence in the scriptures that properly identify this woman. This woman is called “The Queen of Heaven” in the book of Jeremiah. She is also referred to as “That Woman Jezebel” in Revelation 2:20-23.




In order to understand more about this women, we must go all the way back to the beginning in Genesis 10:8-9.




It all began at the Tower of Babel about 2,200 years before the birth our Messiah in Bethlehem. Nimrod (the grandson of Noah) started a cult with his mother/wife Semiramis where they offered up babies in a “Child-Mass” on altars to Molech aka Satan each year at the “Winter Solstice.”




For twelve days leading up to December 25th, hundreds of child-sacrifices were conducted on the altar to this pagan deity. For each of the twelve months in the coming New Year, there were twelve days of blood sacrifices that were meant to give the sun-god the “life-force” from these innocent children.




By December 25th, they declared that the sun-god had come back to life. They called it the “rebirth of the sun.” When Nimrod was later executed for his crimes against children, his wife/mother became pregnant, and she concocted a story in order to keep this pagan religion alive in Babylon. She told them that Nimrod had impregnated her by the rays of the sun on March 25th (the Vernal Equinox, Easter Sun-day). Exactly nine months later, on December 25th, Semiramis gave birth to another son and she named him Tammuz.




We can read about this in Ezekiel 8:14 and how angry The Most High was toward the House of Yahuwdah (Judah) for worshiping Tammuz. Semiramis then told the Babylonians that Nimrod had been reincarnated (reborn) on December 25th through her new-born son Tammuz and that he was the god of the sun and she was the goddess of the moon.




She then continued to practice child-sacrifices on the Vernal Equinox in remembrance of when she first conceived Tammuz, and she taught the Babylonians to dye eggs in the blood of these infants! Semiramis was also renamed Ishtar (Easter) in other cultures because according to mythology, she rises (resurrects) in the “East” every spring on the Vernal Equinox from the underworld. This is why the pagans continue to sacrifice infants to her on “Easter Sun-day!” It is because the sun rises in the East and she is married to the sun-god!





Semiramis also called herself the “Queen of Heaven.” In Jeremiah 7 & 44, The Most High rebuked the House of Yahuwdah (Judah) because they were burning incense and offering up cakes up to this Queen of Heaven!





Statues were then erected in Babylon of Semiramis holding her infant son Tammuz. This statue became an icon in various cultures and religions under different names. In Egypt it was Isis, Queen of Heaven & her son Horus. In Rome she was called Venus and her infant son was Sol Invictus (the unconquerable sun).





Later on in the 3rd Century, Constantine, the Roman Emperor changed the name of this image into “Mary & Baby Jesus!”





Constantine claimed to have had a vision in the sky of an Egyptian Ankh and he said that he had become a “Christian.” An Egyptian Ankh which is supposed to represent a capital “T” for Tammuz and his mother Semiramis symbolizes the egg on top for the goddess of fertility. It was after his so-called conversion that Constantine made some major alterations to the true faith of our Messiah when he completely infused it with pagan sun-god worship from Babylon.





All of the set-apart feast days commanded in scripture were then outlawed under penalty of death and replaced by these very same satanic holidays kept by the witches and occultists. This very same pagan religion from ancient Babylon was “dressed up” and made to appear “Christian,” and thus the religion of Roman Catholicism was born. Constantine continued to worship this pagan-sun-god Mithra on the very same day of December 25th, but he simply changed his name to “Ieosus” which is the Greek-Latin name for the English name Jesus. The name Jesus is only 500 years old, as the English letter “J” was added to the alphabet in the 1500’s.




By the 5th Century, the Vatican officially declared the “Mass of Christ” or Christ-Mass to be celebrated on December 25th, (the same day as the pagan sun-gods) as they deliberately meant to assimilate the true Messiah of Yisra’el (named Yahuwshuwa) with all of these impostors.





The Vatican today calls Miryam (Mary), the mother of our Messiah the “Queen of Heaven!” Most Catholics do not realize that they are actually worshiping Tammuz and his mother Semiramis unawares. Even Protestants who once “protested” against this harlot back during the Protestant Reformation in the 1500’s, have now returned back to their mother by incorporating these pagan holidays into their worship. Christ-Mass was banned by Protestant Churches and even outlawed in America until the late 1800’s. However, the Mother Harlot gradually crept her way into American culture and by 1870, when President Ulysses Grant declared Christ-Mass a legal holiday.





The Vatican shows by her unholy mixture from ancient Babylon that she is this “woman” in Revelation 17, who is a FALSE MOTHER HARLOT CHURCH. She pretends to follow the true Messiah of Yisra’el, yet she incorporates an unholy mixture of the satanic practices of Nimrod & Semiramis. And so now we can under-stand why this woman is called “Mystery Babylon.” It means that she has borrowed the same “mystery religion” of pagan sun-god worship from Babylon. But why does she have a golden cup in her hand with abominations and filthiness? And why is she clothed in scarlet & purple? What do these colors signify?





Why Scarlet & Purple?





The Levites were the priests who were appointed by The Most High to serve him in his Temple. These were the sons of Aharown (Aaron), and they were given instructions to wear the following colors: blue, scarlet, purple, & gold.






Shemoth (Exodus) 28:6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.





Shemoth (Exodus) 28:8 And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.






Shemoth (Exodus) 28:15 And you shall make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shall you make it.





Shemoth (Exodus) 28:33 And beneath upon the hem of it you shall make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:





What do these colors represent?





Scarlet = the blood of the lamb (atonement for sin).




Blue = the Towrah; the Law of The Most High given in Exodus 24:10 as Elohiym stood on a sapphire blue pavement.





Purple = the royal priesthood (red & blue together). In other words the blood atonement of the lamb combined with obedience to the commandments is what makes us his royal priesthood (1st Peter 2:9).





Gold = the refining process in the fire of testing (we must be tried as gold and purified).





The Vatican uses these same colors for the priesthood, but one color is missing! What color is it? The color BLUE is missing, because the Vatican replaces the Towrah (Mosaic Law) with their own man-made laws of the Papacy instead!





In Daniel 7:23-25, The Most High showed Daniel that “The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on earth.” Daniel saw in his vision, that this 4th beast, (Rome), “shall think to change times and laws.”






Daniyel (Daniel) 7:25 And he (the Anti-Messiah) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.





Daniel’s vision is accurately portrayed in Ferraris’ Ecclesiastical Dictionary:




“The Pope has the power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ. The Pope has the authority and often exercised it, to dispense with the command of Christ.”---Decretal de Tranlatic Episcop. Cap (The Pope can modify divine law) Ferraris Ecclesiastical Dictionary.”





This is the “Mystery of Lawlessness” that the Apostle Sha’uwl (Paul) spoke about in 2nd Thessalonians 2:7.





The Roman Catholic Church proudly “boasts” of its rebellion against the commandments of The Most High:





“Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The Holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. ‘The day of the Master’ was chosen, NOT from any direction noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church’s sense of its own power…People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become Seventh-day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.” ----Saint Catherine Church Sentinel, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995.




“Of Course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act…And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things”----H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons.





“Sunday is our MARK of authority…the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is the proof of that fact.”---Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1, 1923.





“Protestants do not realize that by observing Sunday worship instead of Saturday Sabbath, that they accept the authority of the Holy Father of the Church, the Pope.”----Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950.





“No such law in the Bible, nowhere in the Bible do we find that Yahusha or the apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep the Sabbath day that is the seventh day of the week, Saturday. Today, most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the Roman Catholic Church outside the Bible.”-----Catholic Virginian, October 3, 1947.





“Sunday is a Catholic Institution…..From the beginning to the end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer….from the last day of the week to the first.”----Catholic Press, Sydney Australia, August 1998.





“Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her;----she could not have SUBSTITUTED the observance of Saturday the seventh day, a change for which there is NO SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY.”----Rev. Steven Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism, “On the Obedience Due to the Church,” chapter 2, pg 174.----Imprimatur, John Cardinal McCloskey, archbishop of New York.





The Mark of The Most High or the Mark of the Beast?





Seven Set-Apart Feasts of The Most High that we are commanded to keep forever as a sign of our marriage covenant with him (Exodus 31:13, Ezekiel 20:12; 20:20).




But the Vatican has exchanged all of these Holy Feast Days of The Most High for pagan holidays days offered up to Satan!




Eight Pagan Sabbaths annually that are celebrated by witches and occultists made to appear “Christian” by the Vatican.





What are they? Halloween (Samhain); Christmas (Yule); Valentine’s Day (Imbolic); Easter (Ostara); May-Day (Beltane); Saint John the Baptist’s Day (Summer Solstice); The Ascension of Mary, Queen of Heaven (Lughnasadh); The Fall Equinox (Mabon).





Child Mass Services to Molech




For twelve days leading up to December 25th children were sacrificed on the altar to him! Why December 25th? Because this is known in paganism as the “Winter Solstice” and it is supposedly the best time to offer up babies to Satan because the sun is being “reborn.” Satan wants to be the brightest star in the solar system, and he wants to be called “the sun” even though in Malachi 4:2 our Messiah Yahuwshuwa, is called “The Sun of Righteousness” as a metaphor. Because of this, HaSatan has tricked people into worshiping the created object of the sun, rather than the one who created the sun!





Are You Merry About This?




The people of Babylon would make a “wish list” for Molech and then they would place their babies to be burned alive into the arms of this god Molech along with their wish list. (1st Kings 11:7, Leviticus 18:21, 20:2-5; 2nd Kings. 23:10; Jeremiah 32:35). They believed that by offering up their babies to this god on December 25th they would receive everything that they had requested on their wish list in the year to come.




An image of Molech was a giant statue made of iron. Underneath this was an oven, and it was stoked with wood until it became bright red. The image resembled today’s modern-day “Santa Claus,” and people are still “offering up their children” to Molech aka Santa, aka Satan, the god of prosperity and materialism!





Every time we say “Merry Christ Mass” we are declaring that we are “merry” about the “mass murder” of these babies and our Messiah on millions of altars in Catholic Churches across the globe on a daily basis! Roman Catholicism teaches that Yahuwshuwa must be crucified over and over again daily at each and every Mass. They teach that his once-and-for-all sacrifice on the cross was not sufficient to atone for sin!




As I explained earlier, the Nimrod & Semiramis Cult was carried over into other cultures under different names. In Egypt, Nimrod was called Set, and his mother/wife Semiramis was known as Isis, Queen of Heaven. Their reincarnated son was Tammuz renamed Horus. This is where Constantine got the idea of the Trinity from. Our creator The Most High is not three separate beings. He is only one Spirit with three different manifestations (Father, Son & Holy Spirit). He is not three separate bodily images or persons.




The Egyptian priests placed these initials I H S of the pagan Trinity (Isis, Horus & Set) on a round wafer to commemorate the sun-god and they ate it each year on December 25th believing that the sun-god was being reincarnated in them as they ate this wafer. They sacrificed infants on March 25th (Easter) and believed that these infants would be reincarnated on December 25th as little “sun-gods.” This re-enactment was called a “mass” or massacre.





The Catholic Catechism states the following concerning Christ:




“At each mass, he performs the function of the victim anew...”




To those who would say: “We can take back the pagan holidays for Christ” or to those who would say “Let’s put Christ back in Christmas...” we must realize that he was never in Christ-Mass to begin with! Therefore, we cannot put him back where he never belonged in the first place! There is a very sinister reason behind why December 25th was chosen as the alleged birthday of our Messiah. The papacy in 538 A.D. made Christmas official Roman Catholic Doctrine for no other reason than to assimilate our Messiah with the pagan sun- gods who were always reincarnated each year on December 25th since the Tower of Babel.
