Is Christmas A Biblical Holy Day Of Yahweh?
Many people worldwide are celebrating “Christmas” day as if December 25 is the day when Yahshua “Jesus Christ” was born. That belief or claim by so many people around the world today about Yahshua being born on that day is purely untrue because Yahshua the Messiah is not born on December 25, according to the Bible. But before you get yourself into the joyful mode of celebrating Christmas, perhaps you should ask yourself these vital questions: Is Christmas a biblical holy day command of Yahweh or Yahshua? What truly is being celebrated during Christmas? An objective look shows that traditions of people supposedly rooted in the Bible don’t match the biblical truth. For example, did the Bible shows everyone exchange gifts when Yahshua the Messiah was born on earth as Man? Did the wise men who travel miles away to see the birth of Yahshua find the Savior in a stable manger? Did Matthew, Mark, Luke and John (the four Gospels writers) says anything about commemorating or celebrating the birth of Yahshua in the flesh or as mortal Being? And here is the ultimate and final question genuine Christians should ask themselves: Did Yahshua Himself tell us to celebrate His own birth? Read on and you’ll be astounded to know the true origin and the critical truth you must know about Christmas! As always, our faithful and humble ministry will use only the Bible as our only source of truth and teaching!
But before going deeper into this message, we would like you, our readers, to understand first that the Son of Yahweh, who is Yahshua the Messiah, has neither beginning of days nor end of life! As it is plainly written in the Bible: “In the beginning was the Word (Yahshua), and the Word was with Yahweh, and the Word was Yahshua. He was in the beginning with Yahweh. All things were made through Him (Yahshua), and without Him (Yahshua) nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:1-3). These words very clearly say that Yahshua the Messiah is never born on the 25th of December because He already exists from the very beginning of time even before the creation of all things on this planet and even before the whole cosmic universe was created! Simply stated, Yahshua as the Son of Yahweh, and as a Spirit Being, was already with His Father Yahweh from the very beginning of time! Once again, we, the small flock, declare and proclaim to you that Yahshua the Messiah, has no beginning of days, and He (Yahshua), never was, and is never born on December 25! Very sad to say and hard for us to ignore, but the majority of the people out there, including some professing “Christians” and many religious leaders, talk about and promote Christmas as Yahshua’s birth and a very “Christian” thing to do and celebrate! That belief or claim by anyone is one of the biggest lies ever! In fact, claiming it to be true or fact is a blasphemy and abomination to Almighty Yahweh and our Master Yahshua the Messiah! December 25 is a man-made event with no biblical support to it! It is very true, however, that Yahshua was born on earth as Man, but again, there’s no truth at all that it’s on December 25!
Fact is, man-made tradition and practice popularized December 25, not because Yahshua Messiah was born on that day, but because it was already popular in pagan celebrations as the birthday of the sun. Yes, you read it right. Christmas is a pagan tradition that remembers the birthday of the sun! Christmas has nothing to do with Savior Yahshua in any way, shape, or form! Why? We will further explain in detail and, as always, we will let the Bible speak for itself! To begin with, the Bible clearly illustrates the shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of Yahshua’s birth as Man (Luke 2:7-8). The shepherds were not out on the fields during December as it is cold and rainy in Judea and it is very likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks at night. A cold weather condition during the last week of December in Judea would not have permitted the shepherds watching over their flocks out on the field at night. Additionally, Yahshua Messiah’s assigned mortal parents (Joseph and Mary) during biblical times came to Bethlehem to register in a Roman census (Luke 2:1-4). Such Roman censuses were not taken during winter time, when temperatures often dropped at or below the freezing point marker and roads were in bad shape or poor condition.
Here’s another truth you must know. Bear in mind that a woman whose name is Elizabeth (John the Baptist’s mother) was in her sixth month of pregnancy when Yahshua was conceived (Luke 1:24-36). Knowing this, we can determine the approximate time of year Yahshua was born as Man if we know when John was born. If Yahshua the Messiah was not born on December 25, does the Bible indicate any clues when He was born in the flesh or as a mortal Being? Understand that John’s father Zacharias, was a priest serving in the Jerusalem temple during the course of Abijah (Luke 1:5). The concrete historical evidence indicate this course of service corresponded to June 13-19 in that year. John’s conception took place near the end of June, and adding nine months to it will result at the end of March as the time for John’s birth. Now, adding another six months (the difference in ages between John and Yahshua) brings it between the months of September and October, as only the most likely, and the most logical month, of Yahshua’s birth on earth as Man! Therefore, we affirm the real birth day of Yahshua as Man did happen either on the month of September or October, the season that correspond to one of the genuine Holy Days of Yahweh, the Feast of Tabernacles or also known as Sukkot!
Meanwhile, let us go back and answer the questions we haven’t addressed on the first paragraph of this Bible study and teachings of the truth. The wise men gave Yahshua gold and valuable spices as gifts because He was born “King of the Jews” (Matthew 2:2,11). Yahshua alone was the recipient of the gifts and others did not exchange gifts among themselves! Also, the wise men did not find Yahshua on a stable manger after His birth as Man, instead Yahshua and his mortal parents (Joseph and Mary) was residing in a house (Matthew 2:11). Do you know that Mark and John do not even mention the event of Yahshua’s birth? Although Matthew and Luke do, neither one gives the exact date. Did you get it? None of the four Gospels writers says anything about celebrating or commemorating Yahshua’s birth! And the ultimate word and final authority to tell us whether to commemorate or celebrate His Own birth on earth? Of course, it is no other than Yahshua the Messiah! Note and understand that Yahshua Himself left very specific instructions and a very powerful command in regards to how His genuine followers are to remember or commemorate His death (1 Corinthians 11:23-26), but He, Yahshua Messiah, says nothing at all about commemorating His birth!
Interestingly, millions of people have grown up with fond memories of Christmas melodies, Christmas trees, bulging stockings, wrapped gifts, yule logs, mistletoe, turkey or goose dinners, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, and of course, Santa Claus! In fact, Christmas is a major holiday to modern Christians all over the world! Many of the practices and customs associated with Christmas come from paganism as real Bible scholars will admit. Moreover, neither Yahshua’s apostles nor their early followers observed Christmas. Fact is, early Christians did not observe anything like Christmas. Christmas was never heard of until the third century, and that not until the fourth century did Christmas gain much observance! When Almighty Yahweh sent the prophet Nehemiah to help the children of Israel who had been badly influenced by Babylon, notice what Nehemiah said he did: “I cleansed them of everything pagan” (Nehemiah 13:30). The New Testament of the Bible warns the people of a compromised faith and “Mystery Babylon the Great” (Revelation 17:5). Notice what the apostle John wrote in the Bible that Yahweh’s people should do in regards to this very powerful and very influential “Babylon the Great”: “And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues” (Revelation 18:4). These are true and faithful Words of Yahweh that people must hear and obey! Disobedience has fatal consequences!
Furthermore, consider the pagan roots of these very popular Christmas symbols: Christmas Tree: the sacred tree of the winter god. The pagans also looked upon the tree as a phallic symbol. Star: the star is the sacred symbol of Nimrod. A five-pointed star (Pentalpha) is a powerful symbol of Satan, second only to hexagram. Candles: represent the sun god’s newly born fire. Pagans the world over love and use candles in their rituals and ceremonies. Mistletoe: is the sacred plant of the Druids, symbolizing pagan blessings of fertility and fornication. Wreaths: are associated with fertility and the “circle of life.” Being circular they also represent the female sexual organ. Green and Red: are the traditional colors of the Christmas season, as they are the traditional pagan colors of winter. Elves: are imp-like creatures who are Santa’s little helpers or Satan’s demons. Reindeer: are horned animals representing the “stag god” or “horned god” of pagan religion. Santa Claus has a team of eight reindeers; in Satanic realm, eight is the number of “new beginnings” or the cycle of reincarnation. Santa Claus: the mythical attributes and powers associated to Santa are eerily similar to those possessed by Yahshua, and finally, December 25: was also known to the Romans as “Saturnalia,” a time of deliberate debauchery and out of control drinking through repeated toasting. The entire event or celebration was finished with a great feast, the Christmas Dinner! Are you very shocked to read and learn about these very surprising Bible truths? As it is written: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).
Bottom line, let not anyone of you reading this truth and this faithful message think that Christmas has anything to do with Yahshua the Messiah, as it is not, and it never will be considered a Holy Day of our Father, the Almighty Yahweh, and His Savior Son, Yahshua! We feel and understand that we may not be able to convince all of you into thinking that Christmas is a pagan holiday and that it is a very Satanic-inspired celebration, but we still have a core responsibility to tell the truth to all the people and nations on this earth as commanded to us by our Messiah, Yahshua. We still love you and care about you even if you don’t agree with our Scriptural teachings taken directly from the Bible. Nonetheless, we are commanded by our Father Yahweh, and our Master Yahshua, to love others as we love Them. May our Father in heaven Yahweh, and His Beloved Son Yahshua the Messiah, give you the eyes to see and the ears to hear and to learn of Their ways and to obey Their truths. We, the little flock, now give back all the praises, and the honor, and the power to our Almighty Yahweh, and Yahshua, our Messiah. Peace and love. Halleluyah!
Interesting! I did know that Christmas was built on pagan holidays, but I did not know that it was possible to figure out when Jesus was actually likely to have been born.
This is a hard truth for many. I did know that this holiday was created to combat the other pagan celebrations that were happening and I believe that Catholic church (?) added other traditions. I believe that while we can never stop the celebration of Christmas, we should place much more emphasis on celebrating the risen Christ! 🙂
Very interesting post and so much I didn’t know about.
Thank you for this detailed information about the origins of Christmas. It is quite interesting and well written.
