SANTA CLAUS OR SATAN CLAWS

Revelation chapter 2


Today we are walking in: Santa Claus or Satan Claws




2 Chronicles 32:15


Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive H5377 you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?







DECEIVE




Today we look to the word-DECEIVE-H5377 nasha'-- to beguile, deceive to be beguiled







The Torah testifies...............


Genesis 3:13


And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, H5377 and I did eat.





The prophets proclaim..................



Jeremiah 9:5


And they will deceive H5377 every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.




The writings bear witness...........................



2 Kings 18:29


Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive H5377 you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:





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!
