WE WISH YOU A MERRY NIMROD?
Exposing the Christmas Lie
"We wish you a Merry Christmas,
"We wish you a Merry Christmas,
"We wish you a Merry Christmas,
"And a Happy New Year!"
So goes the popular English carol. But how many realise that the original "Christmas" festival, and the spirit of the modern one, has little or nothing to do with Christianity, but is rooted in the vilest of paganism?
The original Christmas festival originated in the Babylon founded by Nimrod, the grandsom of Ham, the son of Noah. Actually Christmas and Western Capitalism are perfect bed-fellows for it was Nimrod who originated the Babylonish system of organised competition, of man-ruled governments and empires based upon the competitive and profit-making economic system. It was Nimrod who built the original tower of Babel, the first city of Babylon, Nineveh (the capital of Assyria) and many other commercial and pagan-religious centres.
Nimrod was so evil that he married his own mother, Semiramis. After Nimrod's untimely death, Semiramis established a false Messiah or anti-Christ doctrine which was adopted subsequently by many pagan religions. She claimed that a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, which symbolised the springing forth unto new life of the dead Nimrod. On each anniversary of his birth, she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts upon it. 25 December was the birthday of Nimrod. It is from this myth, created by a woman living in an incestual relationship with one of the most wicked men that ever lived on the earth, that we get the original Christmas tree.
After her death Semiramis was worshipped as the 'Queen of Heaven', and Nimrod, under various names, became the 'divine son of heaven'. Through the generations, in this idolatrous worship, Nimrod also became the false Messiah, son of Baal the Sun-god. In this false Babylonish system, the 'Mother and Child' (Semiramis and Nimrod reborn) became chief objects of worship in all pagan religions. The names varied in different countries and languages. In Egypt it was Isis and Osiris; in Asia, Cybele and Deoius; in pagan Rome, Fortuna and Jupiterpuer. Even in Greece, China, Japan, and Tibet this counterpart of the Madonna is to be found, and long before the first advent of Christ.
The evergreen tree, which a symbol of the annual rebirth of this false Messiah, lies at the centre of the Christmas festival. Here in Norway children dance around the Christmas tree, imitating a pagan rite established by Nimrod and his priests thousands of years ago. Long ago the Lord emphatically warned against imitating these pagan customs:
"Thus saith Yahweh: Learn not the way of the heathen...For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not" (Jeremiah 10:2-6, KJV).
Yet this is what the materialistic, Nimrodian Western world does every year at Christmastime, "decking" the tree with decorations, lights, presents, and flags. They fix their trees in pots so that they can't "move".
There are many other traditions associated with Christmas, such as the Yule log, the exchanging of presents and Christmas cards, Santa Claus (Nimrod himself) and so on, all of which have the same pagan origin. The exchanging of presents in particular is part of the intoxicating commerical season when people seasonally bankrupt themselves and governments, in some countries (such as Norway) have lower taxes in December to encourage people to spend.
The Christmas season does not honour Christ -- it honours Nimrod, and therefore Satan. No Christian presented with the facts of its origin has any excuse to celebrate it any longer. He should be morally outraged and revolted and boycot the whole season. Celebration of this devilish system is for Messianic Evangelicals, who know the facts, a compromise with the world, a denial of the true Messiah, Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), who was born at Passover and not 25 December.
Brethren and sisters, if you are true to the times and seasons of Yahweh, and break the bonds of Christmas celebration, He will surely bless you, and He will turn vanity into spiritual prosperity. I counsel you to gather together with the qodeshim (saints, set-apart ones) over the Christmas season and make it a special time of fellowship and worship apart from the world and the false religious systems that are so much in league with the Nimrodian economic and political system -- a system that will soon play a major rôle in the return of a far worse Nimrod than he who established Babylon, even the Antichrist. Instead go and tell your friends about Yah'shua (Jesus) who came to free people from all sin, including pagan traditions, and invite them to receive Him as their Saviour.
So shall we say: "We wish you a Merry Christmas" this Christmas? God forbid! And let us stop calling it 'Christmas' for such defiles the name of Christ. Let us call it what it really is, The Festival of Nimrod or Brumalia (the Roman name). Would you wish anyone a 'Happy Nimrod' or a 'Happy Brumalia'?
So what should be do when people wish you a "Happy Christmas"? Remember, that much good is done during this season and this should be encouraged. Whatever is good is of Elohim (God). Sometimes you will have time to explain what your position is regarding this festival but often you won't. If someone wishes you a "Merry Christmas" in passing, why not reply by saying: "May Yahweh bless you", as Yah'shua (Jesus) would have done? Who knows. Maybe their curiosity will get the better of them and you will be given the opportunity to witness of Messiah. Then the season really will become qadosh (holy, set-apart) to you, and not because of any pagan festival, but because you stood up for the emet (truth) and brought salvation into the world through your witness. Thus every day will become a Holy Day -- a true 'holiday'.
