shalom to all
It is almost time for the pagan feastival of Christmas where Santa and his elves with the flying reindeer will fly accros the globe and hand out presents to all the good children.
All the shopping centres and shops are decorated with missletoe and other decorations, and nativity scenes all over.
The houses are decorated with lights and sleighs and santas on the roof.
Huge Christmas trees are decorated and lights flickering all the time.
The salvatiion army ring bells play Christmas music and sing carols by candle light.
Jer 10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer 10:3 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.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver1 and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid2 of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
By now every person that have studied the Bible/ Torah with great care will know that Yeshua Jesus was NOT born on December 25, but rather during the feast of Tebernacles.
A Torah student will also know that you do not keep sheep in the open fields when it snows.
There are enough records to show that the counting/cencus of the people did not take place in winter as it is the rainy season and travel was very difficult and sometimes most impossible.
Yet a devout Christian and Jew would know that December 25 is a pagan holiday and is celebrating the birth of the ancient pagan gods.
Friends do not let people make you feel like you are Mr. Scrooge becuase you do not take part in the pagan festivals. As Children of the living G-d we must separate ourselves from the pagan and the godless people and live a holy life.
We cannot take part in pagan and Godly things at the same time. We cannot replace Horace or Adonis with Yeshua during these festivals.
Still, there was no order form Yeshua that we must celebrate his birth.
We were ordered to remember His death and resurrection. We must remeber the price that He paid for our Salvation.
True children of Adonai Elohim cannot take part in pagan feasts it is against the word of God.
I ask that you will pray during this time, that people will learn to seek the truth and be vigilant for the Word of God. Study and proof they self worthy.
In Yeshua
