CHRISTMAS AND “BABYLON THE GREAT”

CHRISTMAS
AND  “BABYLON  THE  GREAT”

What is the Connection ?

The Bible identifies False Religion as a woman
called “Babylon The Great”. Her religious doctrines,
teachings, beliefs and Holidays are based upon
the Center from which all False Religion began,
“Ancient Babylon”.  It was under the influence of
NIMROD – who declared himself to be god – that
all these false teachings began.  For he was a
mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah God, our
Creator.

“…Nim´rod….He displayed himself
a mighty hunter in opposition to Jehovah….”
(Genesis 10:8,9)(NWT)

“…Nimrod….He was a mighty hunter
before Jehovah…”
(Genesis 10:8,9)(ASV)-BibleGateway

“Now it was Nimrod who excited them
to such an affront and contempt of God.”
-Josephus (c. 37 – c. 100 AD/CE),

“His name is Nimrod, It means ‘the rebel,’
and is evidently meant to designate the nature
of the man. He was the first specimen of giant
tyranny after the flood. His Defiance of Jehovah
was perpetrated in wickedness and ambition under
the very eye of Jehovah. Nimrod’s assumptions were
religious as well as political. Nimrod presented
himself not only for obedience but also for worship.
His awful greatness was of ambitious rebellion,
apostasy and defiance of Jehovah. And as it was Babel
that was the beginning of his empire, so is ‘Babylon the great’
its consummation and close.”
-Nimrod
by Horatius Bonar
1808-1889

“As the people increased in number,
the Way of Jehovah was corrupted
and a principal figure in those days was Nimrod,
the grandson of Ham described as a mighty hunter
before Jehovah. The word ‘before’ used in this
sense means, ‘totally antagonistic to Jehovah.’
We celebrate Christmas on a date which coincides
with the birthday of Nimrod – the villainous king
of ancient Babylon.”

‘NARROW IS THE WAY’
By Harry Lancaster

Amont those false teachings that are part of
“Babylon The Great” – are the “trinity” doctrine,
Hellfire torment, Easter, and Christmas.

This article is focusing upon the Christmas Holiday
and it’s Nimrod-connection.  Indeed, even scholars
recognize that Christmas came from Ancient Babylon,
and has no connection with the Birth of Christ who
was born during a much warmer season.

Scholars Identify “Babylon The Great”
with CHRISTMAS

“Nimrod started the great organized worldly apostasy
from God that has dominated this world until now.
Nimrod married his own mother, whose name was Semiramis.
After Nimrod’s death, his so-called mother-wife,
Semiramis, propagated the evil doctrine of the survival
of Nimrod as a spirit being. She claimed a full-grown
evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump,
which symbolized 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. December 25th, was the birthday
of Nimrod. This is the real origin of the Christmas tree.”
-The Plain Truth About Christmas
by David J. Stewart | December 24th, 2005

“The real origin of Christmas goes back to ancient
Babylon. It is bound up in the organized apostasy
with which Satan has gripped a deceived world these
many centuries! In Egypt, it was always believed that
the son of Iris (Egyptian name for “Queen of Heaven”)
was born December 25th. Semiramis also bore the title
“Queen of Heaven” – and she was Nimrod’s mother.
Paganism celebrated this famous birthday over most
of the known world for centuries before the birth
of Christ.”

by David J. Stewart | December 24th, 2005

“Christmas as a pagan holiday traces back
thousands of years before to a man named Nimrod,
founder of ancient pagan Babylon.”

“Babylon’s false worship is found today
in every nation and in some aspect in nearly
all religions, including present day christianity.”

“Egyptian and Babylonian antiquities
identify Nimrod’s mother as Semiramis,
and his birthday was celebrated on 25th December.”
-The True Meaning of Christmas
by Mike Gascoigne; 1996

“Thus began the worship of Semiramis
and the child-god, and the whole paraphanalia
of the Babylonian religious system.”
-The True Meaning of Christmas
by Mike Gascoigne; 1996

“The Roman Pagans used to celebrate the birthday
of their child-god on 25th December, and the Roman
Catholic Church sought to win over as many people
as possible to nominal Catholicism by proclaiming
the same day to be the birthday of Jesus. So the
Pagans had no difficulty worshipping the Catholic
Madonna and child. They were seen as yet another
manifestation of the Babylonian Queen of Heaven
(Semiramis)and her son (Nimrod). The Pagans made
no compromises, they didn’t need to, they just
continued their Pagan worship within the church.”
-The True Meaning of Christmas
by Mike Gascoigne; 1996

“While it’s easy to knock the Catholic Church
because of their Maryolatry, the Protestants cannot
be left off the hook. The Protestant Reformation
dispensed with only a part of the Babylonian system
of worship. The celebration of Christmas, inherited
from the Roman Catholic Church, via Pagan Rome,
via Egypt, via Babylon, is still practiced as the
most important event in the Protestant Christian
calendar, so from that point of view the Protestants
are as much into Paganism as the Catholics.”
-The True Meaning of Christmas
by Mike Gascoigne; 1996

“The Christmas tree is specifically a Babylonian symbol.
On Christmas Eve the Yule Log is thrown onto the fire.
On Christmas Day there is the tree, covered in
decorations and surrounded with presents,
representing the resurrected Nimrod of Babylon.”
-The True Meaning of Christmas
by Mike Gascoigne; 1996

“FOR MANY years Christmas and other major holidays,
such as Easter, Halloween, etc., have been portrayed
as having a Christian origin, yet they all have their
common origins in Ancient Babylon.”
-The True Origin of Christmas and Other Holidays
Who Was Really Born On December 25?
The Gilead Institute of America

“December 25 was highly honored and recognized
by Nimrod’s supporters…Many centuries later
this pagan custom was “Christianized” as being
the birthday of Christ.”
-The True Origin of Christmas and Other Holidays
Who Was Really Born On December 25?
The Gilead Institute of America

“Today, the celebrated holiday known as Christmas,
will actually find its roots in ancient Babylon.
Christmas is a pagan holiday, which was first formed
by Semiramis, the mother-wife of Nimrod. This became
a holiday after Semiramis indoctrinated it into the
Babylonish government upon the death of Nimrod.”

An Excerpt From:

“Nimrod’s birth date was December 25th.
This never was the birth date of Jesus,
son of Joseph by Mary; nor does any Holy Book
support this idea.”

“The Christmas tree custom is also a pagan
tradition stemming from Nimrod’s mother
in her attempt to immortalize her son.”

“December 25th was celebrated as Baal or
Nimrod’s birthday. By tradition, this birthday
celebration became an integral part of every human
culture, based on this pagan idolatry.
Generally, all mankind is fast asleep,
dreaming this old Babylonian dream.
Christmas was an attempt by Catholicism
to revise and adopt this paganism.”
-The Story Of Nimrod,
As It Relates To Christmas And Easter
by Wilhelm J Wolfaardt

“Scripture itself demands that we observe
the Messiah’s death, and not His birth.
But, since the pagan mind was so oriented
around fertility and birth,  it developed
the way we see it today, blending the most
important features of pagan interpretation.
“Babel, the Great Mother of Harlots and of
the Abominations of the Earth” — has intoxicated
the masses.”
-The Story Of Nimrod,
As It Relates To Christmas And Easter
by Wilhelm J Wolfaardt

“Christmas as a pagan holiday traces back
thousands of years to a man named Nimrod,
founder of ancient pagan Babylon. Nimrod began
a counterfeit religion in the Book of Genesis.
The Bible refers to it as the religion of
Mystery Babylon — the mother of false religion
that will be destroyed when the Savior Jesus
comes to set up His throne on earth, Revelation 18.
Babylon’s false worship is found today in some
aspect in nearly all religions, including
christendom.”
– Nimrod: The Grandfather of Paganism
Yahweh’s Restoration Ministries

“Jesus Christ was NOT born on December 25.
But December 25th can be traced back to Genesis
and a man named Nimrod. Nimrod was the founder
of a great false religious system that began in
ancient Babylon that has always opposed the truths
of God. It’s time we face facts! This world is
deceived, just as God prophesied it would be
(Rev. 12:9). Satan is the power behind this deception.
Satan has successfully pawned off the old customs
of the Babylonian mystery religion as being pleasing
to Jesus Christ.”

“The book of Revelation is an end-time book.
In chapter 17 we are told that Jesus Christ
will one day pass judgment upon a “great whore”
bearing the title mystery, babylon the great,
the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth
(v. 5). This is the great false Babylonian religious
system that Nimrod founded and its many false religious
variations or denominations throughout the world!”

“Can there be any doubt what Jesus Christ thinks
of this church? Every inhabitant of Earth has been
made to suffer to one degree or another by the
deceptions created by its “abominations.”
Revelation 18:4 carries this plea: “And I heard
another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,
my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Right now, God is sending out that same warning message
to all who will listen: Come out of all these pagan
practices disguised as Christianity. Don’t partake any
longer of those sins. The celebration of Christmas and
its customs is just one of those sins. It seems harmless,
but those who stay in such deception will eventually
have to face the wrath of Jesus Christ.”

“It is no wonder that Jesus said,
“Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.“ Popular opinion
should not prevent individuals who know the truth
from turning away from a festival season steeped
in paganism. Jesus said that, in order to be His
disciples, there would be times when we would need
to forsake the desires of our family and friends
and follow Him (Luke 14:26-27).

“God does give us a command to memorialize
Jesus Christ: He commands us to observe the day
of Christ’s death (i Cor. 11:24-27)—NOT His birth.
You now have a choice: You can continue keeping
Christmas year after year, accepting the influence
of your family, friends, neighbors and Nimrod,
or you can accept the commands of the Eternal God
by learning more about HIM.”

“Lent, Easter and Christmas are of
Babylonian origin.”
-EASTER AND CHRISTMAS PAGANISM
2000 B.C. TO DATE
by Edward Stevens (1895-1966)

“Christmas” festivities are not just “pre-Christian”—
dating to pagan worship of the sun god—but they in fact
have NO connection to the date of birth of the true Messiah,
Jesus Christ.”
-Is Christmas Christian?
Volume 6, Issue 6
By John H. Ogwyn

“Almost every year, newspapers and magazines
will publish articles pointing out that Christmas
customs originate not from the Bible, but from pagan
antiquity. Most readers, when faced with these facts,
simply say: “I don’t see what difference it makes,”
and continue with their Christmas preparations.
Instead of seeking to put Christ back into Christmas,
we must acknowledge that He was never there
in the first place! Christmas never was Christian!
True Christians will give it back to the pagans.
We ought to take our religious customs and practices
directly from the Bible. Then we will be worshiping
our Creator in spirit and truth, just as He teaches
us to do (John 4:24).”

In Conclusion –

What else can be said about Christmas and
“Babylon the Great” that has not already been

“Anyone who loves his father or mother
more than me is not worthy of me….”

against world opinion and I’ll stand up
for you before my Father in heaven.”
(Matthew 10:32)(MSG)-BibleGateway

Jesus said – “He who loves and takes more pleasure
in father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me;
and he who loves and takes more pleasure in son
or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.”
(Matthew 10:37)(AMP)-BibleGateway
