1Oh come let us adore who?
2Oh come let us adore who?
And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the
LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and
serve them, and worship them, I testify against
you this day that ye shall surely perish. As the
nations which the LORD destroyeth before your
face, so shall ye perish because ye would not be
obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
Deut. 819,20
3Oh come let us adore who?
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him,
and shalt swear by his name. Ye shall not go
after other gods, of the gods of the people which
are round about you For the LORD thy God is a
jealous God among you lest the anger of the LORD
thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee
from off the face of the earth. Deut. 613,14
4Oh come let us adore who?
And I am come down to deliver them out of the
hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out
of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a
land flowing with milk and honey unto the place
of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites. Exodus 38 These were all SUN
Worshipers

The history of Christmas dates back over 4000
years. Many of our Christmas traditions were
celebrated centuries before the Christ child was
born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires,
the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals
(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while
going from house to house, the holiday feasts,
and the church processions can all be traced back
to the early Mesopotamians.
6Oh come let us adore who?
First century believers, taught personally by
Christ, did not celebrate His birthday. Second
century theologians condemned the thought. Only
after severe persecution, destruction and
inaccessibility of biblical scripture and the
blending of pagan doctrine with the worship of
God was the Mithraic celebration of December 25th
proclaimed to be "Christian" in nature.

The biggest holiday of the Christian year is
Christmas. Everything about this holiday is
steeped in pagan (other gods) tradition.
8 Santa Clause (a mispronunciation of Saint
Nicholas) has pagan origins as well. He
originated as a god of the hearth who
supernaturally traveled around the world,
descended down chimneys and left gifts according
to a childs behavior. Food offerings and gifts
were left to appease him.
9The worship of the Sun is the center
The custom of the Christmas tree was an
extension of this evergreen worship. It was
often brought into the house and worshipped as an
idol, usually decked with fruit, as food
offerings, and with gifts left under it for their
gods. Burning candles mini suns were often
placed on the limbs and have been replaced by
lights in present days.
10The worship of the Sun is the center
The mistletoe, which was sacred to the Druids,
was used to cast spells. It was believed that a
woman underneath it was unable to resist ones
sexual advances and thus the custom of kissing
someone who is standing below it. Holly, and
evergreens in general, were worshipped as symbols
of life, and fertility. They were often used to
make wreaths, which were to pay homage to the
circular sun, especially during the winter
months.
11Oh come let us adore who?
'Yule' is the Chaldee name for an 'infant' or
'little child' and as the 25th of December was
called by our Pagan Anglo- Saxon ancestors,
'Yule-day,' or the "Child's day,' and the night
that preceded it, 'Mother-night,' long BEFORE
they came in contact with Christianity, that
sufficiently proves its real character" (Two
Babylons pp.93-94).
12Oh come let us adore who?
The image of mother with child in her arms was so
firmly entrenched in the pagan mind that by the
time Christianity appeared on the scene in 30
A.D., these statues and paintings were merely
renamed and worshiped as the virgin Mary with her
god-incarnate son Jesus. Thus, the pagan mother
and child entered Christianity as the Roman
Catholic worship of Mary with the infant Jesus
13Oh come let us adore who?
Three Wise Men
211 And when they were come into the house,
they saw the young child with Mary his mother,
and fell down, and worshipped him and when they
had opened their treasures, they presented unto
him gifts gold, and frankincense, and myrrh..
14The worship of the Sun is the center
December 25th. There is no record of a December
25th celebration of the birth of Christ in Rome
earlier than 336. In Constantinople, no record
of a celebration before 378. In Alexandria, not
before 400 and in Jerusalem, not before 425.
The bottom line is that there are no reliable
historical documents that would place the birth
of Jesus on December 25th. There is overwhelming
documentation that the birthday of many of the
sun gods of antiquity was recognized as December
25th
15The biggest holiday of the Christian year is
Christmas. Everything about this holiday is
steeped in pagan tradition.
On December 25th Natalis invicti solis, or the
birthday of the unconquerable sun, was
celebrated. The winter solstice usually fell
before, or on, this day and Pagans celebrated the
victory of the sun over darkness and the
fertility it would bring to the earth as the days
began to lengthen.
16The biggest holiday of the Christian year is
Christmas. Everything about this holiday is
steeped in pagan tradition.
It is this birth -the birth of the Sun and not
the Son which is observed and revered on
December 25th. The same birth which the
Babylonians and Egyptians had worshipped in
earlier centuries. All the church did was to
simply replace the name of Nimrod/Tammuz/Bacchus,
etc. with that of Jesus. Ye worship ye know not
what. (John 422)
17 Our Christian ancestors knew better. The
celebration of December 25th was illegal in
England. It was outlawed in New England from
1649 to 1658. The December 25th celebration was
condemned for its pagan roots by the Puritans,
the Methodists, the Quakers, the Amish, the
Presbyterians, and the Baptists. Why would they
do that if there was not a legitimate problem?
Christmas was made a legal holiday in
Massachusetts in 1856.
18Oh come let us adore who?
The Day of December 25th Most Christians say
that it does not matter what day we celebrate it,
the day does not really matter to God as long as
we honor Christ.
19Oh come let us adore who?
God is VERY specific about worship days Thus
the heavens and the earth were finished, and all
the host of them. And on the seventh day God
ended his work which he had made and he rested
on the seventh day from all his work which he had
made. And God blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it because that in it he had rested
from all his work which God created and
made. Gen 21-3
20Oh come let us adore who?
God is VERY specific about worship days Also on
the tenth day of this seventh month there shall
be a day of atonement it shall be an holy
convocation unto you and ye shall afflict your
souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto
the LORD. And ye shall do no work in that same
day for it is a day of atonement, to make an
atonement for you before the LORD your God .
Lev. 2327,28
21Oh come let us adore who?
God is VERY specific about worship days Fifty
days from the offering of first fruits, came the
Pentecost, called also the feast of harvest and
the feast of weeks. The Pentecost occupied but
one day, which was devoted to religious service.
PP pg 540.
22Oh come let us adore who?
Who is Behind all this? For all nations have
drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and the kings of the earth have
committed fornication with her, and the merchants
of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance
of her delicacies. Rev.183
23The largest Christian denomination in the world
is the Universal Church better known as The Roman
Catholic Church. What she institutes, the rest
of the Christian world will follow. Behold,
every one that useth proverbs shall use this
proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother,
so is her daughter. Eze. 1644
24Oh come let us adore who?
The winter solstice, another celebration of the
sun, fell just a few days earlier. Seeing that
pagans were already exalting deities with some
parallels to the true deity, church leaders
decided to commandeer the date and introduce a
new festival. . In 350 AD the Bishop of Rome,
Julius I, choose December 25th as the observance
of Christmas.
25Oh come let us adore who?
Because of pagan idolatrous practices, God cast
the Canaanites out of the Promised Land. They
were worshippers of Baal, or Nimrod, Tammuz, the
sun god, the pagan Messiah, the god of wine and
revelry. They worshipped the evergreen tree, and
used it as a symbol of their god. They observed
December 25, in worship of the waning sun, and
their sun-god divinity. This whole religious
system stemmed from ancient Babylon, the fount of
all heresy and apostasy.
26Oh come let us adore who?
The very name "Christ-mas," combining the holy
name of Christ with the pagan mass, POLLUTES and
PROFANES Jesus holy name! The celebration of
these ancient pagan festivals, calling them
"Christian," is an abomination in the sight of
God! He will not accept such pagan, superstitious
worship!
27Oh come let us adore who?
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. 102
28Oh come let us adore who?
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with
fire and them that had gotten the victory over
the beast, and over his image, and over his mark,
and over the number of his name, stand on the sea
of glass, having the harps of God. And they
sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and
the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and
marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty just
and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Rev. 152,3
