Through the mercy and love of our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA many brothers and sisters have awakened to the truth about the pagan origins of X-mas; however, there is a need to address this topic again because many believers who are seeking the truth are being led astray by false teachers. To see more about the pagan origins of the satanic holidays that Christians are celebrating today, please visit yeshuasavesall.com and go to the free store link and download the free “Spiritual Detox” book. I’ll be covering an article from a historian, some facts about Xmas, the origins of Santa Claus, and do atheist celebrate X-mas.
Ezekiel 22:26
“Her priests have done violence to My Torah, profaned by set-apart things, MADE NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SET-APART AND COMMON, NOT DISTINGUISHED BETWEEN THE UNCLEAN AND CLEAN, hidden their eyes from My Shabbats, and PROFRANED ME AMONG THEMSELVES.”
The pastors of Christianity have not distinguished between the unclean and the clean. And the majority of the world is profaning the Name of YAHWEH with these unclean demonic celebrations.
Jeremiah 23:11, 15 (Aramaic Peshitta)
“For both prophets and priests have BECOME PAGANS; yea, even in My house have I found their wickedness, says YAHWEH.” Verse 15 “Therefore thus says YAHWEH of hosts concerning the prophets: behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink bitter water; for from the prophets of Jerusalem PAGANISM has gone forth throughout all the land.”
The unexpected origins of popular Christmas traditions
DECEMBER 25, 2018 / 9:05 AM / CBS NEWS
Though December 25 is the day Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the date itself and several of the customs we've come to associate with Christmas actually evolved from PAGAN TRADITIONS celebrating the winter solstice.
"Christmas is really about bringing out your INNER PAGAN," historian Kenneth C. Davis told "CBS This Morning." According to Davis, Christmas was celebrated as early as the fourth century, SUGGESTING THAT IN HAD ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS CHRIST.”
The historian Kenneth Davis says plainly that Xmas is about celebrating your inner pagan and had nothing to do with YESHUA. Remember the scriptures above from Ezekiel and Jeremiah about the pagan priests and prophets that YAHWEH did not like? Xmas is a pagan satanic celebration, so how can it be for our Messiah when this is a direct violation of His word?
Deuteronomy 12:1-4, 29-31
“Here are the laws and rulings you are to observe and obey in the land YAHWEH, the ELOHIM of your ancestors, has given you to possess as long as you live on the earth. You must destroy all the places where the nations you are dispossessing served their mighty ones, whether on high mountains, on hills, or under some leafy trees. Break down their altars, smash their standing-stones to pieces, burn up their sacred poles completely and cut down the carved images of their mighty ones. Exterminate their name from that place. But you are NOT TO TREAT YAHWEH YOUR ELOHIM THIS WAY.” Verses 29-31 “When YAHWEH your ELOHIM has cut off ahead of you the nations you are entering in order to dispossess, and when you have dispossessed them and are living in their land. Be careful, after they have been destroyed ahead of you, not to be trapped into FOLLOWING THEM; SO THAT YOU INQUIRE AFTER THEIR MIGHTY ONES and ask, ‘HOW DID THESE NATIONS SERVE THEIR MIGHTY ONES? I WANT TO DO THE SAME.’ You must not do this to YAHWEH your ELOHIM! For they have done to their mighty ones all the abominations that YAHWEH HATES! They even burn up their sons and daughters in the fire for their mighty ones!”
YAHWEH says plainly not to worship Him as the pagans do and not even to inquire about how the pagans worshipped their false mighty ones because you will want to do the same! Yet, that is exactly what is happening today, Christians are recreating pagan rituals that YAHWEH has forbidden and then reasoning in their hearts and minds as to how they can take pagan worship that YAHWEH hates and claim they are doing it to worship Him! He says “You shall not do this to YAHWEH your ELOHIM!” So how can it be justified?
Jeremiah 10:2
“Do NOT LEARN THE WAY OF THE GENTILES…”
YAHWEH says do not learn the way (the religion and the behavior) of the gentiles/pagans, yet as the historian said, those that celebrate Xmas are unleashing their inner pagan, thus you have learned the way of pagans! This cannot be justified at all and shows a complete rebellion against the Creator that you claim to serve! This is blatant idolatry and breaks the first commandment.
Article continued: "In ancient Rome there was a feast called Saturnalia that celebrated the solstice. What is the solstice? It's the day that the sun starts coming back, the days start getting longer. And most of the traditions that we have that relate to Christmas relate to the solstice, which was celebrated in ancient Rome on December 25. So when Christianity became the official religion in a sense, in Rome, they were able to fix this date. ... There's a little discrepancy about it but there's no question that the fact that it was celebrated in Rome as an important day with gift giving, candle lighting, and singing and decorating houses really cemented Christmas as December 25."
ANOTHER CUSTOM WE CAN THANK PAGANS FOR? CHRISTMAS TREES. Davis explained that the evergreen trees signaled the "return of life" and "light" as the winter solstice meant the days were starting to get longer.
"They started to hang an apple on it, so little red balls on green trees — get the picture here? (Davis here is hinting that the apples hung on the trees eventually turned into ORNAMENTS AND BALLS hung on the x-mas trees today and are just recreating pagan rituals) ... So all of these things celebrate the idea that life and light are coming back into the world, which is essentially what Christmas means to Christians around the world."
Mistletoe, though, that was started by the Druids, who believed it was an all-powerful healing item from the sacred oak tree.
"If you met someone in the forest you gave them the sign of peace under the mistletoe so people started to hang mistletoe above their doorways as a symbol of peace. This was such a POWERFUL SYMBOL OF PAGANISM that English churches actually BANNED the use of it," Davis said.
Davis also pointed out that the very first instance of a "war on Christmas" actually dates back to the Puritans in the mid-17th century.
"They knew all of these things, the date, the traditions, were PAGAN IDEAS. The Puritans banned Christmas for 20 years in America before the celebration became just too popular."
Psalms 106:20
“Thus they changed My esteem into the form of an ox that eats grass.”
YAHWEH says that the children of Yisra’el changed His esteem, His set-apartness into an image of an ox that they could physically see and said this is what brought us up out of Egypt. The Christians have attempted to change The Esteem of YAHWEH into a corruptible Xmas tree and Santa Claus, and with vain reasoning’s in their heart claim it’s for the birth of our Messiah!
Facts about Xmas
YESHUA was not born during the winter season, Luke gives us an indicator around the time He was born.
1. Luke 2:8
“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.”
If the shepherds were living out in the field keeping watch over their flock at night, we can determine it was not cold outside as it is in December; therefore, we can estimate His birth to be in the late summer or early fall. More likely it was near or during the Appointed Times on YAHWEH’s calendar, which would either be The Feast of Tabernacles or Shavuot (Pentecost), we simply do not know for sure, so how can Christianity apply the 25th as the day?
So, if YESHUA was not born on December 25th then who was? Ezekiel 8:14 tells us whose birth is being celebrating on this day. Ezekiel 8:14 says “Then He (YAHWEH) brought me (Ezekiel) to the entrance to the north gate of the house of YAHWEH and I saw women sitting there, mourning for Tammuz. He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this.” The women were weeping for the pagan mighty one Tammuz who died when he was 40 years old. When Nimrod died his mom/wife needed to secure her reign as the Queen of Babylon (Queen of Heaven). So after deifying Nimrod as Baal the sun deity she had to find a way to make Nimrod live again and bring him back to the people. So Semiramis consulted with her astrologers and they told her the sun dies on December 21st (the shortest day of the year) but comes back to life on the eve of December 24th. She decided to say that the sun god Nimrod impregnated her with the rays of the sun on March 25th and 9 months later on December 25th she gave birth to Tammuz which is Nimrod reincarnated. She then ordered the pagans to go into the groves (forest) and place a gift on a tree to honor Nimrod.
2. The church in Rome began formally celebrating Christmas on December 25 in 336, during the reign of the emperor Constantine. As Constantine had made Christianity the effective religion of the empire, some have speculated that choosing this date had the political motive of weakening the established pagan celebrations. Why Is Christmas in December? | Britannica And we know that Constantine changed the true Shabbat from the 7th Day of YAHWEH to Sunday the first day of the week, the day of the sun, so Constantine was no stranger to paganism and has Christians engaging in it today.
3. 12 Days of Xmas comes from a 12-day feast of Saturnalia. Chaldeans call December 25th Yule Day which means “day of the infant” and that infant is Tammuz found in Ezekiel 8:14. Definition of Yule, dictionary.com says (noun) Christmas, or the Christmas season. Origin of Yule: First recorded before 900; Middle English yole, Old English geol, geol(a) “Christmas day, Christmastide”, cognate with Old Norse jol, the name of the PAGAN WINTER FEAST LASTING 12 DAYS, LATER APPLIED TO CHRISTMAS; akin to Gothic jiuleis.
Interesting Santa Claus was known as the YULE FATHER! This link to this information will be included in the next section.
4. Santa comes from a pagan deity named Odin, who traveled around the world on a white horse with 8 legs. (That is where the idea for the 8 reindeer came from and Rudolph was added later). He would go around with dark helpers known as black jacks or Krampus which looked like demons. If you were good Odin would give gifts but if you were bad the Krampus would beat the children. They later changed these demonic helpers into harmless looking elves. This deceives the world and the origin of it all, the world willfully accept what is put before them without looking for the truth and the end result is deception. This tradition is still being carried out today where people will dress up as these demonic Krampus and scare children.
Santa is Odin | L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library (ecpubliclibrary.info) adds this: Santa is Odin

You heard me! Santa has been heavily influenced by traditions surrounding Odin, the Norse god of the Norse gods, a.k.a. the Allfather. As I write this, I imagine many readers with a cock-eyed expression indicating a skepticism that the two seemingly different beard-laden individuals could have much in common aside from their facial hair. The truth is, there can be little doubt that Odin’s lore has factored into Santa as we know him today.
Here’s the down and dirty on the comparisons.
Santa Clause
· Flies around in December for Christmas to bring gifts to good children.
· Has eight reindeer pulling his sleigh.
· Is the most visually iconic figure of Christmas, symbolizing giving, joy, and peace.
· Before Coca-Cola popularized the jolly, jiggly Santa we all know today, Santa was depicted thin as often as chubby, and usually donned brown, blue, or red robes.
· Has elves who make toys for children.
· Sometimes referred to as Father Christmas. (We only have ONE FATHER AND THAT IS YAHWEH ELOHIM)
Odin the Allfather
· Flew around in December for Yuletide to head off the Wild Hunt. He knew who had been bad and good and hunted down or abducted those who deserved it.
· Had an eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, that pulled his sleigh.
· Was the most iconic figure of Yuletide, a holiday that celebrated hospitality, feasting, and gift-giving.
· Is often depicted wearing either blue or brown robes.
· Elves and dwarves (Christmas elves seem to be an amalgamation of the two) originate from Norse Mythology and are known as amazing creators.
· Was referred to as Yule Father. (This ties into the definition given in the third bullet point regarding the paganism of YULE!
Though it’s quite obvious that Santa has influence from Odin, we can’t ignore some of the other obvious influences such as Saint Nicholas of Myra and the Dutch Sinterklaas.
A few other traditions that Christmas has borrowed from Norse tradition include tree decoration, mistletoe, and wreaths.
Information from this post was gathered from both my personal interest in the subject and this article. The article contains more details with comparisons between the two as well as many references to more resources on the subjects of Odin, Santa Claus, and Norse Mythology.”
Consider this: Atheist do not want anything to do with YESHUA or religion, yet they don’t find it offensive to their beliefs to celebrate the same day as a Christian! Why? Because as an unbeliever they know that X-mas has no connection to the truth and that should be alarming. If any atheist is celebrating Xmas and a Christian is also celebrating Xmas, how can we tell you apart? We can’t! Simply put you look just like the world and we can’t tell the difference between a believer and a non-believer!
In an article from Atheists Celebrating Christmas - SpiritCrossing says:
Another option is to accept that the modern Christmas has little or nothing to do with Jesus anyway and that it is mostly a selling opportunity for businesses and corporations. Every trick in the book is used to pressure people into spending as much money as possible in the ‘holiday season’. If an atheist can find something to celebrate among the rampant consumerism, then they can celebrate it by loading up their credit cards, the same way Christians do.
A third option is to accept that Christmas has always been more to do with PAGAN TRADITIONS than with Christmas and that almost all the traditions of Christmas have nothing to do with Christianity at all. Evergreen trees and holly were symbols of the WINTER FESTIVAL LONG BEFORE CHRISTIANITY since these plants did not lose their leaves and appear not to ‘die-off’ during the long northern European winters. Similarly, the Yule log is part of a Nordic festival of 12 days of general feasting, partying and drinking, probably in honor of Yolnir, who was later called Woden and then Odin.
Christmas, just a winter festival
Christmas is basically a winter festival that was hijacked first by Christians, and which has since been hijacked by greedy capitalists out to make as much money from it as they can.
Christmas is more concerned with the winter solstice than with the birth of a baby 2000 years ago. It is rather odd that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus anyway since they normally celebrate the death (especially martyrdom),
Even the atheists understands that we are to remember YESHUA’s death which is why we observe Passover!
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
“For what I received from the Master is just what I passed on to you that the Master YESHUA, on the night He was betrayed, took bread; and after He had made the blessing He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you. Do this as A MEMORIAL TO ME”; likewise also the cup after the meal, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant effected by My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, AS A MEMORIAL TO ME.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you PROCLAIM THE DEATH OF THE MASTER, UNTIL HE COMES.”
Article continued: “Such as those of the saints, and of course, Jesus. Winter festivals have long been connected with birth – the birth of the invincible sun, Natalis Solis Invicti – the name given to the celebrations in 274 CE by pagan emperor, Aurelian, in a year when the winter solstice fell on December 25th. The winter solstice was also celebrated by many other pagan groups in Europe, and the celebrations included those of Mithras, the sun. In the darkest, shortest days of winter, the return of the sun and longer days was celebrated.”
I pray that this truth has opened up the eyes of anyone who wants to celebrate this pagan day and know that it is not of YAHWEH at all! As time is running out on this earth, it’s time to repent and follow YESHUA in truth! As always, may YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
