The Christmas season had
arrived again, and with it a plethora of symbols, activities, customs and
traditions that can blur or obliterate the true biblical aspects of this
holiday. To my dismay, I had recently been told that December 25th was not
Christ’s true birthday at all. Though I later found this to be true, I
discovered that December 25th still figures prominently in Christ’s birth
narrative. But first, I found myself seeking answers when I was misinformed
that December 25th had been chosen as Christ’s birthday to help assimilate
Pagans when Christianity became the official state religion of the declining
But because I had not
written my “Language of God Book Series” yet, and I had not done the research
to know how to destroy the clever arguments against these practices being
made by those touting fabricated history and brandishing copies of the
error-strewn book “The Two Babylons”, I was filled with conflicting emotions
and distress. I had a strong desire to live by God’s truth, and so I felt
forced to re-evaluate my love of the Christmas traditions I grew up enjoying. Like the supposed feast of
the Pagan goddess Ishtar called Easter, however, the Pagan holiday called
Saturnalia had supposedly been “Christianized” by associating it with events
in Christ’s life. However, as my research later proved, Easter and Christmas
are not truly Pagan holidays at all, but legitimately honor significant
events associated with Christ’s conception, birth, nativity, death, and
resurrection! Sadly, however, this truth has been largely hidden through the
efforts of those who are waging not just a war on Christmas, but on
Christianity! The truth is that there are
many workers of iniquity that have been waging this war for the past 150 years
by gaining academic influence and literally re-writing text books,
encyclopedias, and histories to reflect their ungodly revisions of history
that were spurred on by their brazen hatred of the truth. As a result, the
real connection between Passover and Firstfruits with Easter, and the
connection of Christmas with the weeklong Feasts of Tabernacles and Chanukah
were obscured by falsely claiming that the Christian feasts are tied to
so-called Pagan festival dates, rituals and symbolism. Assuming that there was a
melding of Paganism with Christianity in the past can make discerning
believers extremely uncomfortable, especially in the light of the Bible’s
strong admonitions against worshipping false gods and following Pagan
traditions. At one point before I knew better, I wondered if I had to forsake
all the trappings of Christmas in order to be faithful to Christ and the
teachings of His Word. As I wrestled with indecision and doubt, I searched
the Bible and the writings of other believers looking for answers. Finally,
through prayer, biblical studies, historical research, and an understanding
of the Gospel in the Stars, I discovered that Christmas has a godly
connection to Christ’s birth and to the Jewish Festival of Light called
Chanukah. Let me show you how I found out. Yahweh initially answered my
prayers by giving me His peace. Then, as I listened to the promptings of the
Holy Spirit within me, I began to see that every created thing has a holy and
divine message to share with humanity. It was such a revelation to realize
that almost all the so-called Pagan symbols of Christmas are not Pagan at
all, but have spiritual meanings derived from the allegorical Language of God
that is revealed by the Holy Spirit and is inherent in all created things. After discovering and
learning how to apply God’s secret, silent Language over a number of years, I
gradually reinterpreted every once “paganized” symbol surrounding Christmas
with Christian and Messianic Jewish beliefs and ideologies. Thus, the
evergreen trees, wreaths and garlands used by Pagans to symbolize immortality
or reincarnation became fitting symbols for everlasting life through the
Resurrection. Also as a result of this Holy Spirit-guided spiritual
reinterpretation of symbolism, I began to see that all the twinkling lights
and countless candles used at Christmas are visual metaphors for the many
passages in the Bible that speak of light. In fact, Yahshua called Himself
and all of His true followers “the light of the world” (see Mat. 5:14 and
John 8:12). He also commanded us to: “Let your
light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your
Father in heaven” (Mat. 5:16).
Each twinkling light shining
through the dark night also brings to mind the passage in the Gospel of John that
calls Yahshua (Jesus) “the light of men” (John 1:4). Furthermore, it says of
Christ: “The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not
understood it” (John 1:5). How true this seems in contemporary Christmas
festivities, when so many overlook the true light and love of the world for
the secular counterfeit called Santa Claus. Why do so many professing
believers encourage their children to believe in the lie of Santa Claus
instead of the truth of Yahshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ)? This is one
tradition I cannot reconcile to my faith and must therefore discard. Santa Claus, despite his
origins as a Catholic Saint, could never know which child truly deserves his
gifts. Only God knows our true hearts, and only He is worthy to judge us. No
saint can hope to carry out just judgments of others without the guidance and
discernment offered us through Yahshua and His Holy Spirit. All true
believers in Yahshua are considered saints, and as saints they must strive to
be honest with their children. Replace Santa with Yahshua this Christmas, and
ask the children you know to strive after the spiritual gifts that only the
Holy Spirit of Yahweh can bestow. The many twinkling lights
and candles of Christmas can serve as potent reminders of all the saints who
now reside in heaven, many of whom were martyred for their faith. These
colorful lights also help us to recall the Jewish celebration of Chanukah (or
Hanukkah) on the 25th of Kislev of the Jewish lunar calendar. This festival
nearly always falls in December.
In the Bible, oil
symbolically represents the anointing of the Holy Spirit. How fitting then
that at Christmas and Chanukah all the gifts of the Holy Spirit such as love,
joy, peace, kindness, goodness and hope are emphasized and highlighted! The
Holy Spirit, as our spiritual lamp fuel, lights our spiritual lamps so that
we might enlighten others with the true light of the Gospel. Without the gift
of Yahshua as our Anointed One, we in turn could not be anointed to serve Him
and others through Him. We all need the oil of anointing to manifest itself
in our lives if we are to be of use to Yahweh God. Chanukah represents this
anointing and is therefore a very significant holiday that believers would be
wise to commemorate. We will return to the subject of Chanukah a bit later in
this essay. For now, however, I want to share more about God’s wonderful
allegorical Language. By taking these so-called
Pagan symbols, and making them allegorically and spiritually meaningful in
our own faith, it is my belief that we are rightfully reclaiming these
powerful symbols for the one Divine Being who originally imbued them with
spiritual meaning! As revealed in my “Language of God” book series, the
metaphorical meanings of many supposedly Pagan holiday symbols cannot have
been lost on the ancient peoples who viewed them with their “spiritual eyes”
open. These god-fearing and Spirit-led people would have interpreted God’s
hidden messages in nature correctly. However, once the symbolic spiritual
meanings of these plants, animals, and forces of nature were known, it took
little time for Satan's minions to find alternative uses for these symbols
when promoting false religious beliefs. One may ask: “How could
Yahweh God have allowed this?” One answer is that He has given us free will
to choose between good and evil. As a result, both good and evil exist in our
world side-by-side. Unfortunately, given the choice, many of our predecessors
chose to follow an evil path. My own research into this subject has revealed
that the original prophetic ideas, symbols, and God-ordained holidays and
festivals mentioned in the Bible incorporated far more ancient symbolism that
God wished us to remember. Adam and Eve and the first generations of men knew
this symbolism in its purest form. At that time, it was a source of near
limitless truth about God and His creation. Sadly, this symbolic
language was progressively altered until it became so corrupted it bore
little resemblance to the original truth. This was done by evil people who
ultimately sought to deceive the human race. It is a shame that they
virtually succeeded. Now, however, it is time to set the record straight.
Many Pagan kings and priests of past ages assigned new meanings to all God-ordained
festivals and symbols, including the Mazzaroth (Hebrew for Zodiac) as it was
once understood in a Judeo-Christian context. To learn more about this, you
can purchase my Language of God series books online at thehttp://pillar-of-enoch.com bookstore.
Gift-giving helps us to share
the bounty that God has given to us with others we love as well as those less
fortunate than ourselves. When done thoughtfully and generously, gift-giving
exemplifies Christian and Messianic spiritual gifts like love, selflessness,
generosity, sacrifice and brotherhood. The more generous we are at Christmas
and throughout the year, the more we exemplify those who truly understand
that all our material blessings are gifts from God and cannot be kept
forever. They should be shared and then passed on to those we love. As the Bible says: “For we
brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we
have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get
rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful
desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil.” -- 1 Tim. 6:7-10 We
cannot love money too greatly if we freely give it away! Thankfully, there are many
symbols of Christmas today that are not Pagan at all but are undeniably
Christian and Messianic. Representations of angels abound everywhere at
Christmas, and these heavenly messengers figure prominently in many Bible
stories. Angels appeared on the night of Christ’s birth, when they sang to
the Stars are also familiar
symbols at Christmas, and they represent the wondrous Star of Bethlehem,
which led the Magi to where the Christ Child dwelled. They also can serve to
remind us that one of the appellations of Yahshua is “the bright Morning
Star” (Rev. 22:16), perhaps referring to Yahshua as “the star that will come
out of Jacob” (Numbers 24:17). The Nativity scenes
displayed by many at Christmas are also a clear reminder that Yahshua, “the
Light of the World,” was humbly born. His first resting place was not likely
a fairly permanent stable but something even more humble (albeit far more
gaily decorated!): the temporary Sukkot booth Jews sleep in one week a year
to recall their 40-year sojourn in the The dove is another biblical
symbol seen frequently at Christmas. Through this symbol we remember the Holy
Spirit descending on Yahshua in the image of a dove when John baptized Him in
the “He will
cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge.” -- Psalm
91:4 Just as a baby bird can rely
on its mother to shelter it under her wings, we too can rely on Yahweh Elohim
and His Son, Yahshua (Jesus) to shelter us in the wonderful cover of their
love, grace, forgiveness, and peace.
Many different types of
plants are also associated with Christmas. These include evergreens like
cedars, pines, mistletoe, and holly. There is a very good reason for this
association, since evergreens stay vibrantly colorful, and vitally alive all
year long. They therefore are wonderful symbols for eternity and everlasting
life. Just as evergreens stay beautiful, fragrant, and alive year-round,
Christ will give all who believe in Him everlasting life in new, beautiful,
and perfect bodies when they are resurrected. Since God intended for humanity
to be able to see and understand the allegorical meanings behind every
created thing, the rumors that Christmas trees are actually idolatrous or
pagan is ridiculous. God created all things to reflect spiritual truths, and
it was therefore His will that we should see meanings behind their
appearance, characteristics, and/or behavior. In light of this knowledge,
Yahweh God has shown me that the sacred evergreens of once Pagan rituals can
now be reclaimed. Now we can use them as they were intended, to serve as
reminders of Messianic attributes and roles. Sprigs of holly with their
bright red berries need no longer be stigmatized by their use in Pagan
worship. Instead they can help believers remember the blood tipped crown of
thorns Yahshua (Jesus) wore on the Cross. Similarly, the white berries of the
mistletoe can remind us of the tears Christ shed before He raised Lazarus
from the dead, and the tears that were shed by those who loved Christ and
witnessed His dreadful crucifixion and death. The evergreen mistletoe, and
evergreens in general also recall the temporal resurrection of Lazarus, the
miraculous and eternal resurrection of Christ, and the future resurrection of
all the saints into everlasting life. In addition to evergreens,
cinnamon, vanilla, and cloves are plant fragrances that are used frequently
at Christmastime, and that also have undeniable Christian and Messianic applications.
Whenever we smell the pungent scents of Christmas, they can help to remind us
that the Bible calls our prayers and praises a pleasing fragrance unto God.
This in turn recalls the incense burnt before Yahweh God in His tabernacle.
In worshipping God we therefore become like holy incense: “May my
prayer be set before you like incense, may the lifting up of my hands be like
the evening sacrifice.” -- Psalm 141:2
The spices and fragrances of
Christmas also recall the gifts of frankincense and myrrh given to Christ
awhile after His birth by the reverent and mysterious Magi. At the time of
Christ, frankincense and myrrh were valued as highly as the gold that the
Magi also gave Yahshua. Incidentally, the Magi are never numbered, nor are
their names or countries of origin ever revealed in the Gospel according to
Matthew. It is also interesting to note that, contrary to popular belief,
Matthew makes it clear that the Magi discovered Yahshua (who by this time was
“a young child”) not in a manger in a stable, but in a house in “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.” -- Matthew
2:11. (KJV) In the preceding portion of
this article, I have carefully shown how many Christmas symbols are not truly
Pagan at all, and how these symbols can be reclaimed for Christ. I also have
shown that Christmas has an undeniable connection to Chanukah. I have done
this to show that, for a Christian or Messianic to celebrate Christmas in the
traditional manner, they do not have to forsake Christ for a lie! Even though
the Pagan version of Christmas called Saturnalia is considered to be the
birthday of the Sun or the Sun god, there is only one true God represented by
the Sun, and the date for the start of Saturnalia was not December 25th at
any time. As revealed in Book One of
“The Language of God” book series entitled “The Language of God in the
Universe,” the Sun symbolizes the true God Yahweh and His Preincarnate Son.
Because of this, the Sun’s nature and movements would have been of
exceptional interest to the godly Sethites before the Flood, who could
understand God's divine allegorical language that was written into all of His
Creation, especially the heavens! From this, we can also infer that all
Pagans originally knew the true God and how to worship Him. However, they
made a terrible mistake when they began to deify the physical orb of the Sun,
Moon, planets and stars surrounding our Earth. The Sun and Moon were never
intended to become objects of worship on the solstices or equinoxes, or at any
other time. Observing celestial movements was only intended to help measure
times and seasons. These times and seasons have practical as well as
prophetic applications. When we celebrate Christmas, therefore, we should see
it as a way of re-appropriating the truth behind celestial symbols like the
Sun and the stars and re-affirming our faith in the one true God and His
knowledge, which they represent. We are also rightly taking all the symbols
that apply to Chanukah and correctly associating them with the Christmas
season and the light and warmth of Biblical truth. My research also shows that
we no longer need to be blinded into thinking that December 25th was Christ’s
actual birthday. Instead, we can see it for what it truly is: the Roman Calendar
equivalent of the 25th of Kislev on the Jewish Calendar, which is the first
day of Chanukah. That’s right! The 25th of December is the Roman Solar or
Gregorian Calendar equivalent of the Jewish Lunar Calendar date of Kislev 25.
With this knowledge as our
basic defense, we can find new freedom in knowing that we celebrate Yahshua’s
conception in Miriam’s womb during Chanukah in 4 BC, which is when His life
as a human being truly began, and our Messiah actually came to be with us! By
extension, we also celebrate Yahshua’s birth nine months later around the
time of the autumn harvest festival of Sukkot in 3 BC. We also can rest
knowing that we celebrate the time that the Magi found Yahshua when he was a
“young child” or toddler about a year later. Fascinatingly, the 25th day of
December in 2 BC fell in the middle of the week-long Feast of Chanukah in
that year. To illustrate why it is
important to reclaim so-called Pagan symbols, it helps to remember that
everyone on this planet today is a descendant of the righteous man Noah and
his godly family. Before, and for a time after the Great Flood, Noah, his
family, and his later descendents were all united under one religion and one
language. That, however, changed rapidly when Nimrod took control of the
world and established the Pagan worship of the Queen of Heaven named Innana
or Ishtar, as well as the celestial bodies in our Universe, which were all
assigned to various gods and goddesses. This demonic Pagan religion was
promulgated to replace worship of the One True God. Sadly, Nimrod’s false
religion managed to capture the imaginations and energy of the people of This divine confounding of
languages and ideologies was just one of many worldwide calamities that the
Bible suggests occurred in Nimrod’s day. Disgusted by their idolatrous and
sinful behavior, Yahweh God punished all who followed the evil King/Dictator
Nimrod. As a consequence, the Earth was forever changed, millions died
violently, and the survivors of the worldwide cataclysm that toppled Nimrod’s
bid for world domination were forcibly separated. Gradually, these groups of
disparate people developed into distinct cultural and linguistic groups.
These, in turn, ultimately led to the many languages, races, cultures, and
religions that we have on the Earth today. The cataclysmic past of Earth is
discussed in Book One and Book Three of “The Language of God” book series. Unfortunately, the
destruction of men’s unity did not end the spread or practice of false
religion. As their Paganism evolved, the people of the new societies that
developed after This is why, though many
world religions are drastically different than Judeo-Christianity today, some
still retain a few symbols and beliefs that are strikingly similar. It is
likely, therefore, that many of the symbols associated with Pagan religions
were symbols associated with the spiritual forerunner to Judeo-Christianity
practiced by Noah and his son Shem. Later however, these meanings were lost
or obscured. It is now time, however, to reclaim these symbols for Christ! Now that we’ve explored the
reasons why many spiritual symbols that are derived from nature are not and
never were “Pagan,” I’d like to return to my discussion of Chanukah and its
Christian and Messianic Jewish relevance. Over a period of several years, God
progressively answered my continuing prayers regarding Christmas with greater
spiritual knowledge. As I studied the Word of God, the Holy Spirit led me to
discern ever-deepening layers of Biblical truth. I found much joy studying
Scripture and, as I advanced in understanding, I gradually learned much more
about the
Later, as I read books by
Messianic Jewish scholars, I found some startling information. This is in the
fact that Chanukah is connected to two major events surrounding the nativity
of Christ. First of all, based on internal evidence in the gospels, it is very
likely that Yahshua’s mother Miriam was impregnated by the power of the Holy
Spirit sometime during the weeklong observance of Chanukah in 4 BC. Yahshua
would have therefore been born nine months later in September of 3 BC - right
around the Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles. This weeklong feast is preceded by
Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets, which is the start of the Jewish
Civil Year. Further substantiation for identifying Yahshua’s birth with
Sukkot is found in the Greek translation of the Old Testament. There, the
Greek word for “manger” was also used to refer to the outdoors Sukkot
Festival booths mentioned in the same translation. The “manger” that Yahshua
was laid in was therefore probably not a “feeding trough” but an outdoor
Sukkot festival booth! Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish
New Year) and the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) precede the feast of Sukkot.
Five days after the somberness of the Day of Atonement, the joyful week of
Sukkot or the Feast of Tabernacles begins. During this week long harvest
celebration, every Jewish family member inhabited a Sukkot booth called a
“Sukkah” during the day. At night, however, the men usually slept outdoors
under the stars in the makeshift booths while their wives and children slept
indoors. Since there was no room indoors on the night Yahshua was born,
Miriam may have been forced to sleep outside in a Sukkah with Joseph - where
she subsequently may have gone into labor and gave birth to Yahshua. For this
reason, this fall festival week that always occurs in September or early
October should rightly commemorate Yahshua’s miraculous birth. However,
December 25th has validity too since Yahshua was likely conceived at
Chanukah, and conception is when life truly begins! This is a compelling
argument for making Chanukah part of our December Christmas celebrations, and
it is based on biblical evidence. From textual examination of the Scriptures
and detailed scrutiny of the Sign in the Heavens throughout the years 4 BC, 3
BC, and 2 BC, it can be determined that the Magi from the East likely arrived
in Bethlehem during Chanukah week over a year after Yahshua was born. If
Yahshua were born fifteen months prior around the time of the Feast of Sukkot
or Tabernacles in 3BC, He would have been a 15-month old toddler by the time
the Magi arrived during Chanukah of 2 BC. Scripture indicates that
Yahshua was likely conceived at Chanukah, and was also later discovered as a
young child, or toddler by the Magi over a year later (Matthew 2:11).
Furthermore, these Wise Men may well have found Christ on December 25th,
since Chanukah began on December 23rd in 2 BC. Interestingly, as already
noted, Chanukah always begins on the 25th day of Kislev, which is the ninth
month on the Jewish Lunar Calendar that corresponds to the twelfth month on a
Solar Calendar. This may be why December 25th was chosen as the day to
celebrate Christ’s conception and birth. It shares a natural connection to
the 25th of Kislev that no one can or should deny. There is also a Jewish
tradition which connects Chanukah to Sukkot by seeing it as a lesser Sukkot
celebration. Nonetheless, many Messianic teachers are guilty of Judaizing by
withholding this fact and painting Christmas as having no association with
anything godly despite Chanukah’s clear connection to Yahshua’s birth
narrative, and the celebration of Christmas on December 25th. Since it is reasonably
certain that Yahshua was physically born sometime during the Jewish Fall
Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, or Tabernacles in the autumn, and it
is also highly probable that Yahshua was NOT laid in a manger but in a
Sukkah/booth, the Feast of Tabernacles or Booths can be honored in relation
to Yahshua’s birth. However, Chanukah can serve as the perfect adjunct to
Christmas in December. Incorporating the Messianic aspects of Chanukah into
Christmas traditions can allow believers to keep the spirit of giving and joy
that surrounds Christmas alive in a biblically sound fashion. In fact, keeping Chanukah honors
Christ even more so than Christmas in some ways. This is because Chanukah
recalls many powerful symbols like the For those who want to
incorporate Chanukah into their Christmas festivities, the reinterpreted
symbols taken from nature that are used at Christmastime can apply equally
well to Chanukah. After all, as the likely time of Yahshua’s conception,
Chanukah would have been the true time that the Messiah came into the world
to become a man! Furthermore, Chanukah was the time when His role as the
Messiah and King of kings was fully recognized by the Wise Men or Magi from
the East.
In Summary, though it is
certain that December 25th is not Christ’s literal birthday, the significant
events of Yahshua’s conception and His visitation by the Magi can be kept at
Christmas with a clear conscience due to their connection to Chanukah.
Yahshua, the Light of the World was conceived during Chanukah, and the Magi
likely found Christ at his parent’s home in For more information

salvation on Easter or Christmas and God will not condemn us. However, it is
wrong to continue to keep these holidays as they are kept by the secular
world. Instead, they should be made into the truly religious holidays that
they were intended to be. Focusing on and teaching others about the
Judeo-Christian religious symbolism found in holiday decorations like holly,
mistletoe, candy canes, festive lights, candles, and in practices like
gift-giving is one way to do this. Furthermore, these holidays can be
transformed by being stripped of their commercial importance, and being kept
as God intended. This is with thoughtful spiritual reflection, and through
experiencing joy in our salvation. We can also celebrate our salvation by
freely sharing God’s gifts to us with family, friends, and those less
fortunate than ourselves - not just on holidays, but all through the year! Some may want to go even
further in their reclamation of Easter and Christmas for Christ by keeping
these holidays on the days that Yahweh God Himself ordained for them in the
Bible, at Passover, the Day of Firstfruits, and Sukkot or Tabernacles.
However, let's not fall into the trap of legalism over this whole issue. We
need to keep in mind that all Biblically sanctioned holidays are only shadows
of the fulfillment that came through our Savior and Lord Yahshua. Special
feast days, if they serve to help us remember the miraculous life and purpose
of our Savior Yahshua, are sanctified through Him. Indeed, our Lord Yahshua
fulfilled the promises and symbolism found in all the great religious
festivals and observances kept by men (even those of the Pagans who sadly
reject Him!). He is the source of all life and love in the universe, and
every season and event on Earth can be interpreted through Him. “Therefore
do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a
religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a
shadow of the things which were to come; the reality, however, is found in
Christ.” -- Col. 2:16-17
