This topic is very controversial because it is beloved by many. But I was prompted by the Lord. When I asked the Lord what I should write about next, He gave me an interesting vision. I saw an upside-down evergreen tree on a wall in a picture. It was framed nicely. Nearby, on the ground, were Christmas present boxes moving around in a fenced-off, confined space. They had legs like robot dogs and were walking around in a pen.
I do not know what this vision meant, but it certainly seems to indicate that the tree and the presents and the overall aesthetic of “Christmas,” the red and the green, are not aligned with the Kingdom of God. But if they are not about Jesus (Yeshua), who are these traditions for, and what do they celebrate? This writing uncovers the actual identity and history behind these symbols and this holiday.
For the practices of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter. — Jeremiah 10:3–4
The Biblical Warning (The “Worthless Practices”)
Jeremiah 10:3-4 clearly describes a Christmas tree and the pagan celebration of Christmas. In fact, I am becoming more aware that Christmas, and the tree too, aren’t really traditions we should be doing at all because of their pagan origins. Nevertheless, we just accept it. I know that I did for a very long time. I think just like so many others, I did what everyone else was doing because that’s what people do. But going with the zeitgeist (the prevailing mood) is something Jesus specifically said is a problem. He said in Mark 7:7 that people often choose their traditions over God’s commandments. Since “nothing is new under the sun,” as the bible states in Ecclesiastes 1:9, it’s not peculiar that people have a tendency to do what other people are doing rather than what God is telling us to do. We need to take His word on things more seriously, even if it costs us friendships.
The Babylonian Origin (The False Trinity)
The unsettling topic beneath the surface of this writing has to do with foregoing the traditions of Christmas altogether because they are unbiblical and don’t actually have anything to do with Yeshua. There are several scriptures in the Bible that I believe directly discuss the “Babylonian mystery religion,” and I attribute the practice of Christmas to venerating it. This religion is a parallel yet pagan tradition that worships a child son, a father, and a mother as a false trinity.

The origins of the Pagan mystery religion are very old, extending into the book of Genesis. The worship is directed towards Nimrod, the world’s first “Mighty Man” who established the tower of Babel. He married Semiramis (probably mentioned in the Bible as the queen of heaven in Jeremiah 7:18), she is also known as Columbia (Hays, 2013). This deity is continued to be venerated in the modern world and Washington is named after her and the movie company. The statue of liberty may be her as well. This woman was believed to be both Nimrod’s mother and his wife. The two of them had a child together named Tammuz. This is identified as “Tammuz worship” and it is referenced in the bible, in the book of Ezekiel 8:14: “Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.”
According to my research, the main person venerated over time has been Nimrod. I have found that Nimrod’s name has been changed over time and constantly reinvented with each new pagan religion. Examples of subsequent pagan worship that Nimrod is believed to be associated with include but are not limited to: Baal, Osiris, Saturn, and Zeus. It is believed that the worship of Nimrod was spread all over the earth due to God spreading the people apart after He ended the rebellion at the Tower of Babel.
The Sun God Connection (The Modern Deception)
In the book Rise of the New World Order: The Culling of Man, J.L. Hays (2013) says that, “December 25th was celebrated as Nimrod’s birthday. Generally, all mankind is Nimrod and the Christmas tree represented himself resurrected as his own son Tammuz. The yule log is the dead Nimrod, human ruler of ancient Babylon, who was eventually deified as the sun incarnate, and hence a god. The Christmas tree is mystical Tammuz, the slain god come to life again.”
So, the tree and the yule log are not Christian at all but instead are pagan and celebrate the antichrist spirit. Satan has skillfully spun it to worship Nimrod, his mother, and the child Tammuz via the traditions of the mystery religion. We can also see an obvious available facsimile of Santa Claus as an earlier version found in ancient Greek mythical religious beliefs. As they are both depicted in imagery with a flying sleigh that can be seen in the imagery of “Helios driving his chariot of four winged steeds” (Chrysopoulos, 2023).
The Sukkot Alternative (The True Birthday)
If December 25th is not the actual birthday of Jesus Christ, when was He born? Scripture and historical context suggest a birth in late September or early October, coinciding with the biblical holiday of Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles). Because deep symbolism permeates every aspect of His life—from His name to His birthplace—a Sukkot birth is a highly reasonable claim. For example, His birth in Bethlehem is prophetically significant; the name Bethlehem literally means “House of Bread,” fitting for the one who declared Himself the “Bread of Life” (Chumney, 1994).
The connection to Sukkot is further supported by the liturgy of the time. First Fruits of Zion (n.d.) notes, “A Sukkot context to the story also accounts for the angelic greetings of ‘Hosanna in the highest!’—a pilgrimage-festival salutation connected with the recitation of the Hallel at Pesach, Shavu’ot, and Sukkot.” This same “Hosanna” salutation was shouted by the crowds during His Triumphal Entry on Palm Sunday, where they also identified Him as the Temple (Bible Hub, n.d.). Jesus reinforced this identification when He called Himself “the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6)—terms that historically referred to the three main sections of the Temple (the Outer Court, the Holy Place, and the Holy of Holies). The people’s chanting on Palm Sunday may have been a direct, symbolic reference to the Sukkot themes present at His birth.
Furthermore, the research of Bishop James Ussher aligns with an early autumn birth. Using rigorous scriptural and genealogical evidence, Ussher determined that the first man, Adam, was born in October (Ricketts, 2018). This is profoundly significant because Jesus is described as the “Second Adam” (1 Corinthians 15:22). Based on Ussher’s research, one could theorize that the first day of the world was October 23. This would position the Second Adam, Christ the Lord, to be born during the same season as the first, maintaining a perfect conceptual alignment and scriptural symmetry throughout the 77 generations from Adam to Christ.
The Final Verdict
Christmas traditions are a skillful deception. After looking over the evidence, I argue that this holiday was never for Jesus. It was always manufactured for Nimrod and then disguised several times to include other stand-in deities. Since the holiday and its traditions are not actually intended for Jesus, the bumper stickers which say to “Keep Christ in Christmas” are ironic. It has been always about acclimating the population to accept the reinvented Babylonian system mentioned in the Bible as the “ancient mystery religion.” If we are to take God’s word seriously, it requires foregoing the traditions of Christmas altogether, even at the cost of our social standing or our friendships.
