True Meaning Of December 25(Christmas Day)
In the legend of the Tauric Goddess, Diana, it is said that every stranger, who landed on her shore,was sacrificed on her altar. Have you ever wondered what the Christmas tree has to do with Christ? Or the ornaments you placed on the tree, or the meaning of the word yulitide? or where the tradition of the mistletoe came from, and how it became a symbol of Christmas? Reader, they have nothing whatsoever to do with the birth of Jesus Christ, but are some of the traditions observed to honor the birth of pagan god child tammuz.
There is no scriptural evidence that supports the birth of Christ as being December 25; but history says December 25 was kept thousands of years before the birth of Christs, in honor of the pagan messiah. Another name for tammuz, the pagan god child was, 'Baal-bereth,' which means: 'lord of the fir tree!'
The sun god, the mother goddess, an her son, according to babylonian mythology were mystically changed into trees. This is the origin of burning the yule log.
Nimrod defied as the sungod was symbolized by a big fir tree, stripped of all its branches, and cut almost to the ground. But the great serpent which symbolized the life restorer, whose name is Aesculaues, twist itself around the dead stock and lo, at its side a young tree- a tree of an entirely different kind, which is destined never to be cut down by hostile power; even the palm tree, the well known symbol of victory.
People of Aryan stock who believed that the oak tree was a symbol of zeus or jupiter, believed that this branch was a mistletoe which grew on the oak tree, and to be kissed the mistletoe would insure fertility. The branch was a name given to the Christ, Isaiah 11:1 ' And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of His roots.
"Now take the word 'yuletide.' The word yule is as babylonian as tammuz. The word yule is the chaldee word for infant or little child, and the 25 of December was called by the pagan anglo-saxons, 'yuleday' or child's -day. The pagan Eygptians, and the Persians both observed the 25 December as the birthday of their god.
In Germanic mythology, they too, had a supreme god to whom they gave sacrifice. These war liked people promised their god, whose name was tiwaz, that if he would gave them victory over their enemy, they would give all the spoils of the battle. Like the babylonians, they believed their gods could transform themselves into trees. If the god answered their prayers, they took their dead victims head along with the spoils of war, and dragged them to their sacred groves, and their hung them on their sacred trees. Such offerings have been recovered from the bogs in Germany. This begot the origin of hanging ornaments from Christmas trees!
Little sheep of the Lord's pasture, it is impossible to ignore the pagan festival of Christmas. The world is commemorating the Birth of Christ, not tammuz. There is an advantage during the Christmas season to preach the real Jesus of the Bible. However, we should keep ourselves from the vanities of the pagan festival, not to mention the cost, and the death caused by the lighted Christmas trees.
" There is however, an opportunity during the Christmas season with its beautiful music, to make others aware that Christ is no longer a helpless baby, in a manger, but is the Savior of the world, the King of kings, Lord of lords. Many who thinks the Bible and its messages is foolishness, can be reached during the Christmas season. Where it would be almost impossible to talk to them at another time. Even the Christmas tree can be used to teach the children a great lesson.
The children should be taught that it is historical fact that placing bulbs, tinsel, and lights on a Christmas tree is pure pagan heathenism. This pagan custom got its start from killing enemies and hanging their heads and their spoils from pagan sacred trees. It would not be a sin if an evergreen tree was set up in the church during the Christmas season if it was done to be an object lesson. If the parents would take the money they spend each year on Christmas trees, bulbs, lights, and expensive presents, and gave the money as an offering to advance the preachings of the Gospel, would not the Lord be pleased with such a self sacrifice?
