Santa Claus or Satan Claws?

Edited and re-formatted by Maria Merola

Pictured here areChristmas Cards from Germany. This is a demon spirit known in Germany as Krampus.

This demon (according to folklore), is supposed to be the evil side-kick of Santa Claushimself or his alter ego. Krampus role is to scare children into being good. All year longchildren are taught that if they are naughty Krampus would come on Christmas with aswitch and beat their bottoms. But if they were nice then Santa Clause would come andgive 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, mysteryand passion dramas acted out scenes from the scriptures and the liturgy of the RomanCatholic Church. Combining humor and religion, they flourished during the fifteenth

century. It is significant that St. Nicholas was a dominant theme among these plays. Muchof the myth and outlandish miracles of St. Nicholas originated from these dramas. Andmuch 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 SaintNicholas. Jefferson: McFarland & Company, Inc., 1997, p. 69

One of the bizarre jobs of St. Nicks devilishhelper was to gleefully drag sinners to Hell! On the eve of December 6th, the myth toldthat 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, theswarthy Dark Helper. This reluctant helper had to disperse gifts to good people, but muchpreferred to threaten them with his broom-like scourge, and, at a sign of his master, wouldgleefully drag sinners away to a place of eternal suffering.. Renterghem, Tony van. WhenSanta Was a Shaman. St. Paul: Llewellyn Publications, 1995, p. 111 It is also alarming thatSantas popular title, Nick, is also a common name for the devil.

Old Nick: A well-known British name of the Devil. It seems probable that this name isderived from the Dutch Nikken, the devil..Shepard, Leslie A. Encyclopedia ofOccultism and Parapsychology. New York: Gale Research Inc. 1991, p. 650Nick, the

The Origins and Evolution of Saint Nicholas. Jefferson: McFarland & Company, Inc., 1997, p.69

Another Christmas card is illustrated here from Austria,just before World War II. The Big Black Horned thing you see is Krampus, once again thedemon that comes with Santa bringing a bag of Switches for boys and girls that dontbehave. 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 partyfor him in December. Notice the children in the bag that he is kidnapping, and the pinebranch from the x-mas tree he is about to beat that couple with, oh, and the goat hornsand hooves, just like Baphomet, the goat demon worshiped in Freemasonry.

The German god Ruebezahl is a mixture ofKrampus(the devil) and Santa. In Austria thestrange 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 awooden stick or switches to threaten children who misbehave or do not know their lessons.

Pictured here is another Christmas card from Austria &Germany. The Little girl is praying to the devil and asking for mercy. The creature is thealter 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 Clause with toys andpresents if the child has been good. Our Messiah Yahushua (Jesus) taught us not to fearevil, nor to fear the devil. We are only to fear YHWH who has the power to determine oureternal destiny:

Luke 12:4-5

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 ye shall fear:Fear him, which after he hath killed hathpower to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Satan has successfully caused little children to fear him instead of our Creator YHWH:

Come, ye children. . . I will teach you the fear of. . . Santa Claus?(Psalm 34:11)

...Youd better watch out, Youd better not cry Youd better not pout, I'm telling you whySanta Claus is comin' to town He's making a list, He's checking it twice He's gonna find outWho'snaughty or nice...

Children the world over are taught to FEAR Santa.Youd better go to bed little

boy,..Santa is watching.

Millions of fearful children are told,Youd better behave, Santa is watching.. You mightnot get anything for Christmas.

It is purely evil for parents to teach their children to fear the devil or Santa Clause. We aretold that YHWH has not given us the spirit of fear:

2ndTimothy 1:7For Elohim (God) hath not given usthe spirit of fear; but of power, and oflove, and of a sound mind.

Romans 8:15Forye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye havereceived the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

We are commanded instead to fear YHWH the Creator of the Universe:

Proverbs 1:7Thefear of YHWH is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom

and instruction.

Psalm 111:10Thefear of YHWH is the beginning ofwisdom: a good understandinghave all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth forever.

You will notice that in each of these cards, Santa Claus looks a lot like the Pope carryinghis Papal Staff, and his Dagon pagan fish-god hat/miter; and he is with his alter ego,Satan----how telling!

Dagon, Nimrod & the Papacy

The great apostate church of the Gospel Age, true to its Babylonian origin, has actuallyadopted this fish god in its ritual; for the pope on certain occasions manifests by hishead gear that he is the direct representative of Dagon. As it was an indispensable rule inall 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 werearrayed in clothing resembling fish. This is probably the strange apparelreferred to

in Zephaniah 1:8. Berosus tells us that in the image of Dagon the head of the manappeared under the head of the fish, while Layard points out that in the case of the prieststhe 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 andNineveh, p. 343)

In the ancient legends of the Babylonians therewas Oannes called Lord of the Waves. He was amphibious, having the torso and head ofa man but upon his head was the head of a fish with gaping mouth and draping downwardwere the back of the fish, complete with scales and tail. The Sumerians called him EA andlike Oannes - he was half fish and half man. He was called the great Fish of heaven. ThePhilistines 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 3rdCentury B.C. by Berossus; A Babylonian Priest

Dagon Fish Mitre Hat Worn by Babylonian Priests

The priests of Dagon wore the same mitre hat that was worn by Cybele.It looked like the open mouth of a fish propped upon the priests head.

He was half fish and half man. He was called the great Fish of heaven. The Philistinescalled him DAGON, the fish god that is also mentioned in the Bible.----OANNES; part IIVladimir Pakhomov taken from a history of Mesopotamia Written in the 3rdCentury BCby Berossus; A Babylonian Priest

DAGON is mentioned in the Bible in at least 8 places:

Joshua 19:27Judges 16:231st Samuel 5:2,3,4,5,71st Chronicles 10:10

The two-horned mitre, which the Pope wears, when he sits on the high altar at Romeand receives the adoration of the Cardinals, is the very mitre worn by the priests of Dagon,

the fish-god of the Philistines and Babylonians.--- The Two Babylons ; Alexander Hislop; p.215

Why do the Popes wear a Mitre hat? The fact is that the origin of the hat can be traced toan ancient Babylonian fish-god named Dagon.

...there are strong evidences that Dagon was Nimrod.... All scholars agree that the

name and worship of Dagon were imported from Babylonia.---- The Two Babylons,

Hislop, p. 215

In their veneration and worship of Dagon, the high priest of paganism would actuallyput on a garment that had been created from a huge fish! The head of the fish

formed a mitre above that of the old man, while its scaly, fan-like tail fell as a cloak behind,leaving the human limbs and feet exposed.---- Babylon and Nineveh, Austen Henry Layard,p. 343

The most prominent form of worship in Babylon was dedicated to Dagon, later known asIchthys, or the fish. In Chaldean times, the head of the church was the representative ofDagon, he was considered to be infallible, and was addressed as Your Holiness. Nations

subdued by Babylon had to kiss the ring and slipper of the Babylonian god-king. The samepowers and the same titles are claimed to this day by the Dalai Lamaof Buddhism, and

the Pope. Moreover, the vestments of paganism, the fish mitre and robes of the priestsof Dagon are worn by the Catholic bishops, cardinals and popes.----The Wine of Babylon;Pg 9

One need only look at Christianity to see...the Fish tradition! Its under everyone's nose.The real Priests of Dagon of old wore a mitre head dress and the Catholic religion usesthis same design on their papal headdress!----SIRIUS THE FISH TRADITION

According to Egyptian mythology, when the judges found Osiris [Nimrod]guilty of corrupting the religion of Adam and cut up his body, they threw the partsinto the Nile. It was said that a fish ate one of these chunks and became transformed.Later, Isis [Semiramis] was fishing along the river bank when she fished up a half-man,half-fish. This sea creature was Dagon, the reincarnated Nimrod.

And Dagon is the representation of Nimrod (of ancient Babylon) resurrecting out of theocean depths as a half-man, half-fish. Dagon is the diminutive of dag, and signifies...

fish...The Babylonians believed that a being, part man and part fish, emerged from theErythraean Sea, and appeared in Babylonia in the early days of its history Representationsof this fish-god have been found among the sculptures of Nineveh. The Philistine Dagon

was of a similar character.---- Manners and Customs of the Bible; by James Freeman

And this also explains the symbol for Christianity, the fish - the Ichthys which is Dagon.

DefinitionIchthyic of, pertaining to, or characteristic of fishes; the fish world in all itsorders.---- Oxford English Dictionary (C. E.)

Fish On Fridays?

The worship of Dagon also affected peoples eating habits. This may explain the mystery of

why the Catholics abstain from eating fish on all days except Fridays. Whether they realizeit or not, they are practicing the ancient pagan rite of worshipping Dagon.

According to The Catholic Encyclopedia:

As to the ritual of his worship...we only know from ancient writers that, for religiousreasons, most of the Syrian peoples abstained from eating fish, a practice thatone is naturally inclined to connect with the worship of a fish-god.---- The CatholicEncyclopedia, 1913, Encyclopedia Press, Inc.

The Doctrine of the Nicolaitanes

In his Revelation to the Seven Assemblies in Asia Minor, our Messiah specifically addressedsomething called The Doctrine of the Nicolaitanes,which is something he hates:

Revelation 2:6But this thou hast, that thou hatestthe deeds of the Nicolaitanes, whichI also hate.

Revelation 2:15So hast thou also them that holdthe doctrine of the Nicolaitanes,which thing I hate.

What exactly is this doctrine that our Messiah hates? Well the root words come from twowords:

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 Elohim (God) in the lifeof the believer. What this means is that Popes, Bishops, Pastors, and Priests are put on apedestal where they do not belong and the people are taught to put their trust in them fortheir salvation instead of Messiah himself. This doctrine teaches that people should notattempt to interpret scripture with the help of the Holy Spirit, but instead they should relyon 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 onearth father:

Matthew 23:9Andcallno man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father,which is in heaven.

Our Messiah Yahushua (Jesus) taught us that the Holy Spirit is assigned to teach us andthat we have no need to be taught any false doctrine that originates from humans:

1stJohn 2:27Butthe anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, andyeneed not that any man teach you: but asthe same anointing teacheth you of allthings, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

The Role of the Papacy is to dominate the people with fear and to make them rely solelyon him as the visible image of Jesus Christ on earth,as thus saith Rome!

In all of the above images, Santa (which means holy in Latin) is actually the Pope or Bishop

of Rome who is calledHoly Fatheras he is dressed very similar to Santa Claus andstanding with his true alter ego Satan or Krampus the horned god or Nimrod. SantaClaus is also calledFather Christmasand the Latin word for Father is Pappaswherewe 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 childrens games, the Saint Nicholas figure itself is the Dark Helper, adevil 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

This is a photo of St. Nicholas from whom we getSanta Claus. The name Nicholas, in Greek isNiko-Lauswhich means one whoRULES over the people. The word Santameans Holyin Latin and hence we have a

The fact is that Santa and Satan are alter egos, brothers; they have the same origin. . . Onthe surface, the two figures are polar opposites, but underneath they share the sameparent, and both retain many of the old symbols associated with their father. . . Fromthese 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 SaintNicholas. 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, ifyou were bad you got a visit from KRAMPUS! It was Krampus who gave coal and rocks tothe naughty children. Sometimes, Krampus would beat the bad with switches, and if achild 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 willgo to bed every night talking to an invisible man that they believe will swoop down from thesky on a certain holiday and bring them rewards? But we are told in scripture that theMessiah will hand out rewards at his second coming:

1stCorinthians 13:

13 Every mans work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall berevealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

14 If any mans work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15 If any mans work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet

so as by fire.


14/38

Krampus, the original version of Santa'sElf in Austria, would punish wrongdoers instead of Elohim (God). He would bring thechildren a bag of switches/branches to beat them with. In Ezekiel 8:17we learn more

about this particular branch. This branch is a reference to the misltoe and also to theabominable branchin Isaiah 14 known as The King of Babylon (Nimrod) because he

was cut down like a tree as his limbs were severed by Noahs son Shem and they weresent to all the provinces in the land of Shinar..the book of Jasher; The Two Babylons, byAlexander Hislop; The Antiquities, Josephus.

Considering Santa you cannot miss his alter ego, who has followed him like a darkshadow 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 alsoanother figure: Ruebezahl, who is a German mythical, giant-like person, who is a mixture

of Krampus (the Devil) and Santa.. Santas Origin; by Sepp Rothwangl

In Austria a strange and frightening creature, known as Krampus, is usually with St.Nicholas. This devil figure, often in chains, is dressed in fur with a scary mask and a longred tongue. Krampus carries a wooden stick or switches to threaten children who

misbehave or do not know their lessonsSaint Nicholas Center; Discovering the Truth

About Santa Claus

We often repeat the famous quote of Santa Clause in Christmas songs such as Ho, Ho,Ho, who wouldnt go, Ho, Ho, Ho, whowouldnt go. But do we realize what we areteaching our children to say?

Ho, Ho, Hocomes from a Roman Requirement that during Saturnalia citizens had toappear before the temple of Saturn (Baal) and yell, Lo, Lo, Lo, Saturn 3 times translatedas, Praise, Praise, Praise Saturn as god.

From: The Roman Festivals of the Period of the Republic, an Introduction to the Study of theReligion 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. OnDec. 17th there was a public sacrifice at the temple (formerly the era) of Saturn by theForum, followed by a public feast, in breaking up from which the feasters shouted IoSaturnalia.

In The Drama Before Shakespeare-A Sketch, author Frank Ireson, describes the popularMiracle Play. Notice the description of the devil as shaggy, hairy, etc. (as Santa), andnotice the devils trademark exclamation on entering was ho, ho, ho!

Besides allegorical personages, there were two standing characters very prominent in MoralPlaysthe Devil and Vice. The Devil was, no doubt, introduced from the Miracle Plays,where he had figured so amusingly; he was made as hideous as possible by his mask anddress, the latter being generally of a shaggy and hairy character, and he was duly provided

with a tail: his ordinary exclamation on entering was, Ho, ho, ho! what a fellow am I

---Ireson, Frank. The Drama Before Shakespeare -A Sketch, 1920Siefker also collaboratesthe devils trademark ho, ho, ho.

In these plays, the devils common entry line, known as the devils bluster, was Ho! Ho!

Ho! ..Siefker, Phyllis. Santa Claus, Last of the Wild Men: The Origins and Evolution ofSaint Nicholas. Jefferson: McFarland & Company, Inc., 1997, p. 69

The devils trademark ho, ho, ho was carried over from the early medieval Miracle Plays tothe popular old English play Bomelio, as the following lines from the play verify:

. I conjure thee, foul spirit, down to hell! Ho, ho, ho! The devil, the devil! A-comes,a-comes, a-comes upon me..

How St. Nicholas became Santa Claus

Nicholas was born in Parara, Turkey in 270 C.E. and later became Bishop of Myra. He diedin 345 C.E. on December 6th. He was not canonized as a saint by the Roman CatholicChurch until the 1800s.

Nicholas was among the most senior bishops who convened the Council of Nicaea in 325C.E. and created the New Testament. The text they produced portrayed Jews as thechildren of the devilwho sentenced Jesus to death.

In 1087, a group of sailors who idolized Nicholas moved his bones from Turkey to asanctuary 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 hergifts. The Grandmother was ousted from her shrine at Bari, which became the center of theNicholas cult. Members of this group gave each other gifts during a pageant they conductedannually on the anniversary of Nicholas death, December 6.

The Nicholas cult spread north until it was adopted by German and Celtic pagans. Thesegroups worshipped a pantheon led by Wodentheir chief god and the father of Thor,Balder, and Tiw. Woden had a long, white beard and rode a horse through the heavens oneevening each Autumn. When Nicholas merged with Woden, he shed his Mediterranean

appearance, grew a beard, mounted a flying horse, rescheduled his flight for December, anddonned heavy winter clothing.

In a bid for pagan adherents in Northern Europe, the Catholic Church adopted the Nicholascult and taught that he did (and they should) distribute gifts on December 25th instead ofDecember 6th.

Pictured here is Santa Claus shaking hands

with the Pope or Bishop of Rome. These two characters have merged into one and thesame persona!

Saint Nicholas, a fourth century Catholic Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, who gave treats tochildren; 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 DutchSant Nikolaas. The red suit comes from the fact that Catholic bishops and cardinals inItaly wear red. Also, according to tradition, a poor widower of Myra had three daughters, forwhom she could not provide a dowry. On Xmas-Eve, Saint Nicholas threw three bags ofgold down the chimney, thereby saving the daughters from having to enter intoprostitution. One bag rolled into a shoe, and the others fell into some stockings that hadbeen hung to dry by the fire, hence, the beginning of the tradition of the Christmasstocking.

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 wassaid to live at the North Pole, working all year-round to produce toys for children who hadbeen good and obedient to their parents. In Dutch, he was called Sinter Klaas. Thecustom was brought to America by Dutch settlers. In European countries, Santa Claus was


18/38

18

originally a grim personage who traversed the countryside, determined to find out who hadbeen naughty or nice. Those who had been naughty were quickly switched.

Santa Claus is usually associated with snow, reindeer, and the North Pole, which suggestsScandinavian 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 leadersymbolized 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 themagic of Christmas alive, but, the Christmas spirit, is the spirit of lies, the spirit ofdeception, the season when the lonely are made to feel unwanted, when people get moredepressed and suicidal, and when the hypocrites are generous for a season, celebratingtheir perpetual lie.

Prophecies About Our Messiah Satan Wants to Counterfeit

Who is this that cometh. . . red in thine apparel (Isaiah 63:2)

Who wears boots and a suit of red? Santa wears boots and a suit of red!

Cap on head, suit that's red,

Special night, beard that's white,

Must be Santa, Must be Santa,

Must be Santa, Santa Clause

Satan wants to be the Messiah!

The Master Yahushua (Jesus)

Isaiah 63:1-2

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in

his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mightyto save.

Wherefore art thoured in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth inthe winefat?

Revelation 19:

11 And I saw heaven opened, and beholda white horse; and he that sat upon him was

called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a namewritten, that no man knew, but he himself.


19/38

13 Andhe was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Wordof Elohim (God).

Do you get the strangest feeling that someone is trying to be like someone else?

Isaiah 14:14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Once again, we see the signature Papal staff in hishand. Is this supposed to be the Resurrected Christ come to reign? St. Nicholas, the Pope,or Santa Claus? Who can tell? Or maybe thats the point! Notice that the colors he is

wearing are scarlet & purple just like the woman who is reading a Beast in Revelation 17.

The Historical St. Nicholas who hated Jews wouldnt get along with the biblical JewishMessiah known as Yahushua (Joshua aka Jesus), who kept the Sabbath, Holy Days, andLevitical diet. Our Messiah would never want a day in his honor on which Jews wereritually killed every Dec. 25th, but Saint Nicholas didnt mind.

The 151st attendee listed in an A.D. 510 manuscript of attendees of the Council of Niceaewas Nicolas of Myra of Lycia.Amazingly, December 25th was established as a

supposedly Christian holiday at the Council of Nicea, and so was Easter, and Sunday. Ifanyone kept the Holy Days instead, Constantine had them put to death. St. Nicholas wasall in favor of this, and mysteriously, X-mas later honored him. Imagine that. And that thesame time the Roman Saturnalia was on December 25th, and was celebrated often by theritual sacrifice of a Jew.

St. Nicholas, was a senior bishop at the council of Nicea. He wrote that Jews were childrenof the devil that killed our Lord Jesus.

At the council of NiceaThose who openly or secretly keep the Sabbath and follow otherpractices in the manner of the Jews are not to be received into communion, nor into prayer,nor into the church....

The Council of LaodiceaIt is not permitted to receive festivals which are by Jews, nor to

hold a festival together with them. Christians must not Judaize by resting on the Sabbath,but must work on that day...but if any be found to be Judaizers let them be anathema fromChrist.

Constantine wrote, Let us have nothing in common with the Jews, who are our adversaries.This irregularity of observing Passover must be corrected, in order that we may no more have

anything in common with the parricides andmurderers of our Lord.

Nimrod the Abominable Branch

The Branchwas spoken of by the prophet Isaiah foretold of our Messiah, as THE

RIGHTEOUS BRANCH:

Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and aBranchshallgrow out of his roots:

This prophecy above is about Yahushua the Messiah (Jesus)--the righteous BRANCH.

Ezekiel spoke of this very same BRANCH:

Zechariah 3:8Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit beforethee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forthmy servant the BRANCH.

You will notice that the Temple Menorah has 7 Branches. The

Menorah is deliberately meant to resemble the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. The MiddleBranch is the main trunk of the tree represented as our Messiah (the Servant Candle wholights the others). And the other 6 branches represent mankind for on the 6thday YHWHcreated man.

It is for this reason, that our Messiah said these words:

3For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, thework of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers,

that it move not.

From that point on, Nimrod or Baal was known as the god of the tree.

The Druids and the Celts continued to worship this pagan deity nowcalled The Green Manthrough orgies in the forest under trees and erecting Christmas

Trees.

Has anything changed today in America? Are we not just as adulterous as backslidingIsrael who played the harlot under every green tree?

And so our Christmas tree and our Yule log havetremendous meaning, but not a biblical meaning. The Yule log is the dead Nimrods penis,human ruler of ancient Babylon, who was eventually deified as the sun incarnate, andhence a god.

The Christmas tree is mystical Tammuz, the slain god come to life again.AfterArmageddon, Chapter 4,Where do we get our ideas? by John A. Sarkett

Why Are Red & Green Official Christmas Colors?

Santas Suite was originally Green before the Coca-Colacompany came along. The suite is based on the Celtic god/demon called the Green Man ofthe Woods" whose colors were Red and Green, their version of Attis (Tammuz in theBible). They got the idea from the Babylonian Tammuz who was an evergreen tree the god

who was worshiped on December 25th, hence the branches placed to the nose in Ezekiel8:17.

Pope Gregory...advised SaintAugustine to allow his converts certain festivals as formerly they had done this in honor ofthe devil. Therefore, St. Augustine permitted their usual December celebration under thenew name. From these early pagan ceremonies are derived many of the English holidaycustoms that have survived to our dayThe Evolution of Christmas; Published in 1909

Didnt the Apostle Shaul (Paul) warn the Galatians to NOT GO BACKto Superstitions andHolidays they kept BEFORE they knew God??

Galatians 4:

8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not Elohim (God), ye did service unto them which bynature are no gods.

9 But now, after that ye have known Elohim (God), or rather are known of Elohim(God), how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire

again to be in bondage?

10Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years (astrology).

11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

The name Santa Claus & Anagrams

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to transform Satanfrom Santa?Just move the

letter N to the end. And presto! Satanappears. . .

An internet Google search on Satan Claus[not Santa Clausbut SATAN Claus] foundover 1,700 hits! Obviously, there are many that tie the two together.

The rearranging of letters (called anagrams) to hide secret names or words has long beenpracticed in the occult. The Jewish Encyclopedia writes of the Jewish occult book called the

Kabbala:

The golden age for anagrams began with the Kabbalah. The Platonists had strange notionsas to the influence of anagrammatic virtues, particularly of anagrams evolved from names

of persons. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Kabbalists, like all the Neoplatonists,pretended to discover occult qualities in proper names and in their anagrams.

Another name for Satan is Sanat. He also likes to be called Nataswhich is a root wordfor the name Natashain Russian this is a word that means Christmas.

He simply rearranges the letters in his name at will. Who wears a red suit and claims to beomnipresent (everywhere at once) and omniscient (all-knowing) like God?

The song Santa Claus is Coming to Townsays: he sees you when youre sleeping;he knows when youre awake.

But this is blasphemy against the one true God of Israel YHWH. Who comes out of a fireplace? Who takes the attention away from our Messiah Yahushua (Jesus Christ)? Who

entices children with materialism? Santa is often referred to as Father Christmas. Theword mas pertains to the Catholic mass wherein our Messiah Yahushua (Jesus) iscrucified over and over again. The Roman Catholic Church took the pagan holiday calledSaturnaliafor Sator Satanand changed it into the birthday of our Messiah

Yahushua (Jesus)----another identity switch of Yahushua (Jesus) for Satan.

Saturn is STUR in Chaldean for Nimrod.

One of the most well-known anagrams in the occult world is the name ofSanat Kumara.Sanat is better known as Satan. Constance Cumbey, writes in her best-selling, New-Ageexpose, The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, . . . they [New Agers] freely call Sanat

Kumara (Satan) 'God'. And their doctrinal reference books by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky andAlice Ann Bailey freely cross-reference Sanat Kumara with Venus. In occult writings, Luciferand Venus are one and the same."(Constance Cumbey, The Hidden Dangers of theRainbow, p. 138)

Texe Marrs writes ofSanatin Dark Secrets of the New Age:

. . . the New Age offers a being called Sanat Kumara.Sanatis obviously a thinly veiled

reference to Satan; nevertheless, New Age teachers evidently believe that the new spellingwill alleviate the concerns of those not yet ready to confess Satan as their Lord andMessiah.. Texe Marrs, Dark Secrets of the New Age, pp. 79-80Interesting.

. . Where does that put Lord S-A-N-T-A?

H.P. Blavatsky, the Satanist and new age teacher writes in The Secret Doctrine:

Many a mysterious sacred name. . . conveys to the profane ear no more than someordinary, and often vulgar [common] word, because it is concealed anagrammatically orotherwiseH.P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, Vol II, p. 78

Like S-A-N-T-A?

Blavatsky also writes, the name is not importantbut the letters.

The name isn't important. It is the letters. H.P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, Vol II, p.350 Blavataskys anagrams were used to disguise who her true god was. Blavatasky openlytaught Satan is mankinds true redeemer, creator and Saviour.

And now it stands proven that Satan, or the Red Fiery Dragon, the Lord of Phosphorus

and Lucifer, or Light Bearer, is in us; it is our Mind our tempter and Redeemer, ourintelligent liberator and Saviour. . .HP Blavatasky, The Secret Doctrine p. 513

Satan, the Serpent of Genesis is the real creator and benefactor, the Father of Spiritualmankind. For it is he . . . who opened the eyes of the automaton (Adam) created byJehovah. . . he still remains in Esoteric Truth the ever loving messenger . . .H.P. Blavatsky,The Secret Doctrine, Vol 3, p. 243

Gail Riplinger writes in her excellent book, New Age Bible Versions on the use ofanagrams in the occult world:

Lucifer's True Identity as Satan is Revealed as the Anagram, a Transposition of Letters, ToObscure It. Blinds, as esoterics call them, include scrambling the letters of a name to hidethe true meaning of a word from the uninitiated--- Gail Riplinger, New Age BibleVersions, p. 52

It is interesting Mrs. Riplinger also raises a red flag about the anagram Santa:

Gods of the New Age include Sanatan and Sanatsiyata, . . . New Agers say each name isconcealed anagrammaticallyand are aliases,and are 'an anagram used for Occultpurposes. Is Santa, the great usurper of Christ's attention at Christmas, an anagram? OleNick is listed among the fallen angels or devils in the Dictionary of Fallen Angels. Scholarsconcur that Christ was born in the fall on the 4th day of the feast of tabernacles. December25th is actually "the feast in honor of the birth of the son of the Babylonian queen ofheaven, later called Saturnalia by the heathen Romans.---Gail Riplinger, New AgeVersions, p. 52

It is also worth noting, Santa is Spanish for holy. Santa is also from the Latin word Sanctuswhich means also saintly, holy. Our English words saint, sanctify, et al comes fromSanta. Sounds like Satans I will be like the most High" plan is in action.

Is Clausanother anagram for Lucas?

Its no secret Lucas and Lucis are new-age code words for Lucifer. The Alice Baileyfounded new age, occult publishing company was originally named Lucifer PublishingCompany but in 1924 the name was cleverly changed to Lucis Trust. By the way, theLucifer worshiping Lucis Trust is a major player in the works of the United Nations formerlylocated in the United Nations building but now located on prime-time 1200 Wall Street.

Its no coincidence that Santa Claussounds like Satan's Claws for he is described as onewho comes like a roaring lion to devour:

1stPeter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Well..The Name Santa Claus Literally Means Satan Claws!

Where did the Klaus in Santa Clauscome from?? Santa CLAWS (Claus) literally comes from the meaning behind the Clawsof Krampus, the Devil!

The name Krampus originates from the Old High German word for claw (Krampen).

As time passed Krampus feet were replaced with CLAWS or sometimes with hooves and(sometimes one of each) and his body itself became covered in fur and he wore little or noclothing. Sometimes a common devil type tail is also added. Eventually his tongue becameobscenely long as did his horns.

Since the demon Krampus comes from the word for claw, we can soundly suggest thatSanta Clausand Satan Clawscome from the same Evil Root.

SatanistAnton LaVey, author of the Satanic Bible and founderofThe First Church of Satan,haswritten that fantasy plays an important role in anyreligious curriculum. The subjective mind is less discriminating about the quality of its food

than it is about the taste. Thus, fantasy is utilized as a magic weapon inSatanism..Anton LaVey, The Satanic Rituals, p. 15

LaVey is an American Satanist; other Satanists actually worship Baal/Satan, who is calledthe god of light or the Sun god in most cultures.

Fantasies such as Santa Claus the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny are lies that we tellour children and we think its all fun and games but we are actually putting our childrenunder a Satanic spell when we bewitch them with lies!

Interestingly enough, December 25thranks high on the Satanists Calendar, just likeHalloween and Birthdays. The birthday celebrates the Self, which is the true god ofSatanism, according to LaVey.

Meet Father X-mas Everyone!

Do you remember Pan's Labyrinth?Baal? Bacchus? This is also, Santa's Precious, Sweet, little helper, that your kids are

hoping will show up to bring them some toys. In the Satanic, Bible, Pan is one of the topnames of Satan himself.

Jolly Old St. Nickis Satan himself! While Santa and Claus may be disguising their realmeaningthere is no disguising St. Nick. He is a well-known character.

Old Nick: A well-known British name of the Devil. It seems probable that this name isderived from the Dutch Nikken, the devil...Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology,

p.650 Nick, the devil.Walter W. Sleay, Concise Dictionary of English Etymology, p. 304Devil: Besides the name Satan, he is also called Beelzebub, Lucifer . . . and in popular or

rustic speech by many familiar terms as Old Nick . . .Oxford English Dictionary Vol III D-E

Actor

Adam Sandler and New Line Studios are obviously aware that Nick is an alias for Satan.Their movie Little Nickyis about the son of Satan named Little Nicky. A teaser for the

film says, If your mother was an angel and your father was the devil you'd be messed uptoo.

In the popular Cloud Ten Pictures Apocalypse film series Revelation, Tribulation, &Judgment, the Antichrist just so happens to be played by none other than the actor NickMancuso..Hmmm

The Cloud Ten Pictures are based on Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins popular Left BehindSeries Apocalypse book series. What is the name of the Antichrist in the Left BehindSeries? Nicolae Nick Carpathia, of course! In fact, one of the books is titled, Nicolae,The Rise of the Antichrist. It is also interesting, the book American Slang defines the

slang word nick:to rob or steal. (Robert L. Chapman, American Slang, p. 297)This ishow our Messiah Yahushua (Jesus) characterizes the devil:

John 10:1-10

...Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, butclimbeth up some other way [say a chimney?], the same is a thief and a robber. . .9 I

am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and findpasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come

that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

In Austria, the Santa Claus equivalent is St. Nicholas whoalways comes with Krampus, his darker side. He is always a large, demon goat, black-cladwith antlers on his head. There are at least 60 Krampus figures who will roam the streets of

Gtzens as of 7:30p.m. on Christmas Eve. On December 05, 2003, Devilish Creatures willgather on the Gtzens Church Square for the annual Krampus Run Spectacle.

This is a Christmas party in Austria! The Big Black Horned thing you see is "Krampus" ademon that comes with Santa bringing a bag of Switches for boys and girls that don'tbehave. 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.

This is what sitting on SantasLap in Austria looks like. This is Black Pete, another name for Santa in Dutch Colonies.These are the same people who made X-mas legal again in America. It had been outlawed

up until the 1800's by not only the states, but also by the Baptists, Methodists,Presbyterians and several other Protestant denominations.

1stCorinthians 10:20But I say, thatthe things which the Gentiles sacrifice, theysacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowshipwith devils.

Santa Claus is Another Jesus

Do we realize as believers where the legend of Santa Clause comes from? Here on this web

site, I found out something which I have always suspected about the myth known as SantaClaus:

Kris Kringle means Christ child in German. Santa Claus is also known as Kriss Kringlein Scandinavian countries, which is a corruption of the German Christ Kindl, meaningChrist Child.

Every year, SATAN has his place of being glorified as the Son of God (Kris Kringle), from theNorth (Ezekiel 1:4; Psalm 48:2, read Isaiah14:13). As Santa Claus, he sits on his throne(Isaiah 14) in all the department stores, where children queue up to ask him for the thingsthey want. By focusing their attention on this fat man in a red suit with god-like qualities,children are taught to believe that, just like Santa, YHWH can be pleased with goodworks, done in order to earn His favor. They are also taught that, no matter how bad theyhave been, they will still be rewarded by Elohim (God), just as Santa never failed to rewardthem with gifts.

From an early age children are taught to love material possessions more than YHWH andwith the love of trying to get as many presents as possible comes selfishness and love ofoneself. They are taught to go to the wrong source for their wants and needs, and are

encouraged to behave rightly throughout the year for the wrong reasons. This is all as aresult of loving and believing this pagan myth of Santa Claus. YHWH tells us in his wordthat these symptoms will become evident as we approach the last days:

2ndTimothy 3:1-4This know also, thatin the last days perilous times shall come. For

men shall belovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, falseaccusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded,lovers of pleasures more than lovers of Elohim (God).

We cannot lie to our children about the myth of Santa Claus and then expect them to want

to serve the Messiah of Israel, Yahushua (Jesus Christ). Our Messiah made it clear that wecannot serve him and material things:

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters:for eitherhe will hate the one, and lovethe other;or elsehe will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannotserve Elohim (God) and mammon(money, materialism).

If we lie to our children about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth fairy, wedo the following:

1.) By lying to them about these myths, we set an example to them that lying is okay aslong as it is in fun and thus we teach our children to tell lies.

2.) We destroy their trust when they find out they have been lied to.

3.) They will question whether or not we lied to them about the reality of our MessiahYahushua (Jesus Christ), and they will always have some level of doubt.

4.) We endanger our own souls by telling lies.

2ndCorinthians 4:4tells us that Satan is the god of this world, so it should not come

as a surprise that he is popular all over the world as the personage of Santa Claus.

The pagan world celebrates Santa Claus, (a friend of the world), yet YHWH tells us in:

James 4:4Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that thefriendship of theworld is enmity with Elohim (God)? Whosoever thereforewill be a friend of the world isthe enemy of Elohim(God).

No matter how inferior we may feel if we tell our children the truth about Santa Claus, wemust realize that YHWH does not want us to go along with the rest of the world:

Romans 12:2Andbe not conformed to this world:butbe ye transformed by the

renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect,will of Elohim (God).
