The Pagan Christmas Tradition

Is for many, the birth of Messiah (Christ) on Christmas (from Old English, meaning “coming of Christ”), the 25th day of December. This date was first observed in 336 AD, some 24 years after the Roman emperor Constantine established Christianity as the state religion. Apparently, Pope Julius I chose to replace the pagan winter solstice feast in honor of Mithra, the “Unconquered Sun,” that had been officially recognized by the emperor Aurelian in 274 AD. From Rome, the new feast celebrating the birthday of the “Sun of Righteousness” (Malachi 4:2) spread to all other churches (except the Armenian church) over the following century.

As many Christians are aware, the modern Christmas celebration combines many strands of tradition including the ancient Roman pagan festival of Saturnalia (merrymaking, exchange of presents), the old Germanic midwinter customs (Yule log, decorating evergreen trees), the tradition of Francis of Assisi (displaying the crib, or crèche of Jesus), the medieval feast of St. Nicholas (Sinterklaas in Dutch, hence “Santa Claus”), and the British sending of greeting cards (1840s). The Puritan pilgrims did not celebrate Christmas because of its many unbiblical associations. The holiday was officially recognized in the United States in 1870.

The Dutch Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) is the origin of the North American Santa Claus. According to legend, Sinterklaas makes his rounds on December 5, Saint Nicholas’s Eve. Dressed in a catholic bishop’s robes, Sinterklaas rides through the streets distributing sweets to the children. According to some versions of the popular legend, another figure accompanies him named Black Peter, who carries a whip with which to chastise naughty children.

Yeshua born on the 15th day of Tishrei 3756 ...
Jesus' real birthday was around the 15th day of Tishrei during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot
by Ian David

Since John was born on Passover, the 15th day of Nisan (the 1st Jewish month), Jesus would have been born six months later on the 15th day of Tishri (the 7th Jewish month). The 15th day of the 7th month begins the Feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:34-35), also known as Sukkot. Jesus was born on the 1st day of the Feast of Tabernacles! In the year 5 B.C.E., this fell in the month of September. This explains why there was no room at the inn for Joseph and Mary. A multitude of Jewish pilgrims from all over the Middle East had come to Jerusalem to observe the Feast of Tabernacles, as God required (Deu. 16:16). Bethlehem, which was only a few miles outside of Jerusalem, was also overflowing with visitors at this time because of the Feast. [...]

On What Day Was Jesus Born?
by Michael Scheifler

While much of the world celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ on the 25th of December, can the actual day of Jesus' birth be determined from scripture? This question will be explored in some detail, and will yield a result that is quite intriguing. The first passage we will consider begins with the father of John the Baptist, Zacharias: Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. Luke 1:8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, ... Luke 1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house. Luke 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, ... The clue given to us here is that Zacharias was of the "course" of Abia. The 24 Courses of the Temple Priesthood. [...]

On What Day Was Jesus Born
by Elder Keith Ellis

I think this article offers solid biblical evidence concerning the date of the birth of Jesus. I hope you read this article and glean the truth found in it. Precise scriptural evidence is offered to prove when Jesus was actually born. Though there is a simpler way. Consider this. Jesus was on the earth for 33 1/2 years. No one I know will dispute this fact. Jesus died on Passover. No one I know will argue this fact either. Now if He lived  33 1/2 years and died on Passover, you can back up one half year, (6 months) from when he died and it will bring you to the 15th day of Tishri. This is the same conclusion the article comes to, but with scriptural evidence to back it up. Even if this simple formula will put the issue to rest with some people, please do not hesitate to consider the valuable scriptural information found in the article below. My sincere hope is that God will open the eyes of professing Christians to see that December 25th is not His birthday, Hopefully you will recognize the paganism associated with the X-MASS (Catholic celebration) and all its worldly ties. These types of practices are strongly condemned in Gods word and it is high time we awoke out of sleep and repented ourselves of these ungodly practices. [...]

Jesus born on 15th of Tishri
Argument for a Tishri (Sukkot) Birth

There are several reasons to believe that Yeshua was born during the Fall,
in particular, during the Feast of Tabernacles - Sukkot. Among the reasons cited are as follows:
Christmas Day - Was Jesus Really Born on December 25th ?
by John J. Parsons
As you will see, the crux of the arguments both for and against the late December dating of the birth of Yeshua depend upon the date assigned to the "course of Abia" and the precise time that Zacharias -- John the Baptist's father -- was in the Temple when he was visited by the angel Gabriel. But what is the "course of Abia" and why is it important? [...]

Sukkot Festival Has Arrived - A Joyous Biblical celebration for both Jews and Christians !


Holy Rejoicing as Jewish men wave their lulavs at the Western (Wailing) Wall on Sukkot
 
"On the first day you are to take branches from luxuriant trees—from palms, willows and other leafy trees—and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days."  (Leviticus 23:40)
  
Chag Sameach!  Happy Sukkot!
 
“In sukkot you shall dwell for seven days: all citizens of Israel shall dwell in sukkot.”  (Leviticus 23:42)
 
Last night at sunset began the Biblical Holiday of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles / Booths), which completes the cycle of the Fall Feasts.
 
This wonderful Biblical holiday lasts for a full seven days!
 
It is one of three pilgrimage festivals called Shelosh Regalim (Three Pilgrimages), holidays during which the Jewish People were required to go up together as a nation to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
 
The other two of the Shelosh Regalim are Pesach (Passover) and Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) (Deuteronomy 16; Exodus 23:14–17).

Jewish woman and child decorate their sukkah, which they will use to eat in
and possibly live in for the seven days of Sukkot.
One of the names of Sukkot is the Festival of the Nations.  And today we certainly see signs of the nations embracing this holiday.  People from all over the world gather in Jerusalem for it.
 
According to the prophet Zechariah, this holiday also has a prophetic dimension that is yet to be fulfilled.
 
When Messiah returns and establishes His Kingdom, all the nations will be required to keep this holiday by coming up to Jerusalem to celebrate Sukkot.  (Zechariah 14:16–17)
 
In that day, Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) will become Israel’s sukkah (tabernacle).  His presence will shelter Israel and she will no longer be oppressed by the nations.

Four Species: citron, palm, myrtle, and willow.

Sukkot: Remembering God's Faithfulness
The first day of Sukkot is a Sabbath and
most forms of work are prohibited.
 
The other days of the holiday are called Chol HaMoed (weekdays of the festival or intermediate period).  During these days the workload is reduced; and in Israel, many people take the week off as vacation.
 
After the somber, introspective time of Yom Teruah (Rosh HaShanah / Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Sukkot is a joyous celebration of renewed relationship with God following atonement for sin.
 
During this festive season, we recall how God’s faithfulness provided for our ancestors as they wandered the Sinai Desert wilderness for 40 years before entering the Promised Land of Israel.
 
“You shall dwell in Sukkot for seven days ... that your future generations shall know that I had the children of Israel live in Sukkot when I brought them out of Egypt.”  (Leviticus 23:42–43)
 

Jewish children learn to recite the blessings over the Arba Minim (Four
Species) on Sukkot at the Western (Wailing) Wall in Jerusalem.
 
At Sukkot we remember God’s kindness and mercy in leading and guiding Israel by day with a pillar of cloud and protecting them by night with a pillar of fire, and for providing them with daily manna.
 
Just as Israel dwelt in temporary shelters called sukkot (sukkah is singular), so are we to dwell in sukkot for this entire week.
 
Most people in Israel and Jewish people around the world build a temporary hut or shelter with a covering of branches or palm leaves.
 
For seven days and nights, we eat in the sukkah and consider it our dwelling; some live in the sukkah entirely for the duration of the festival, even sleeping in it through all kinds of weather.
 

Sukkot in Israel are often built on verandas and balconies.
 
Arba Minim: The Four Species
“You shall take for yourselves on the first day [of the festival] the splendid fruit of a tree [etrog], palms of dates [lulav], the branch of the thickly leafed tree [hadas], and willows [aravot] of the brook.”  (Leviticus 23:40)
 
Another observance carried out each day of Sukkot except Shabbat is the Four Species (Arbah Minim): an etrog (citron), a lulav (palm frond), three hadassim (myrtle twigs) and two aravot (willow twigs).  They are bound together in such a way that they can be held together easily.
 
The lulav, hadassim and aravot are first taken up with the right hand and then the etrog is taken with the left hand.  A blessing is recited over the Four Species:
 
“Blessed are You, God … who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to take the lulav.”
 
Facing east where the Temple in Jerusalem once stood, the Four Species are then shaken in all six directions:  right, left, forward, up, down and backward.
 
Rabbinic tradition explains that the Four Species represent the various personalities that make up the community of Israel.  They are held together and a blessing is recited over them to bless the unity of all people, which is emphasized on Sukkot.
 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu holds
the lulav and the etrog (citron) of Sukkot.

The Season of Our Joy
“You shall rejoice before the Lord your God.”  (Leviticus 23:40)
 
One of the names for Sukkot is Z'man Simchateinu (The Season of Our Joy).  In Scripture, in fact, the word joy appears several times in connection with Sukkot.
 
“Be joyful at your Feast — you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levites, the aliens, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns.… For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.”  
(Deuteronomy 16:13–15)
 
Since Sukkot is also a harvest festival, we can well imagine that there is great reason for joy.  Indeed, one of the other names for the holiday is the Feast of Ingathering.
 
“Celebrate the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.”  (Exodus 23:16)
 

Many evangelical Christians show their love of the Jewish People by
taking part in the annual Sukkot parade in Jerusalem.
 
The joy of this holiday is so singular and complete that many rabbinic texts just refer to it as HaChag (The Festival).
 
During ancient times, every day of The Festival, except Shabbat, was characterized by music, song, and dancing.
 
Even today, Jewish people gather near the Western (Wailing) Wall to dance, sing, and rejoice before the Lord.  People fill the synagogues and streets while singing and dancing with tremendous joy until the wee hours of the morning.
 
This is in partial fulfillment of prophecy.  The Prophets tell us that a day will come when the exiles of Israel return to Zion.  Her streets will be filled with the sounds of joyful melodies, and sorrow will disappear.
 
“The ransomed of the Lord will return.  They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads.  Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.” 
(Isaiah 51:11)

(Wailing) Wall with the Four Species.
 
The Water Libation Ceremony 
“With joy you shall draw water out of the wells of salvation.”  (Isaiah 12:3)
 
In Temple times, a special Water Libation (offering) ceremony took place daily during Sukkot.
 
Every day, the priests, along with a procession, would go down to the Pool of Shiloach (Siloam), which was fed by the Gihon Spring, the original source of Jerusalem’s water.  At the pool of natural running water, they would fill a golden flask.
 
The water was then brought back to the altar in the Temple to accompany the morning sacrifice.  This pouring of the water on the altar is called Nishuch haMayim (Water Libation Ceremony /
literally, Pouring of the Water
).
 
This water offering not only celebrates the hope of winter rains in Israel, but also symbolizes the future Messianic Redemption when the Spirit of God (symbolized by the water) is poured out upon the nation of Israel.
 

Because it doesn't rain in Israel during the summer, this Israeli is
delighting in the first rainfall of autumn.

Yeshua on the Final Day of Sukkot: Hoshanah Rabbah
“I wash my hands in purity and circle around Your altar, O Lord.”
(Psalm 26:6)
 
The seventh and final day of sukkot is called Hoshanah Rabbah.  Hoshana comes from two words hoshah nah, meaning "Bring us salvation, please," and rabbah, meaning great.  This prayer to "bring salvation" was actually made by the priests every day of Sukkot.
 
During the first six days of the feast, the priests would “place willow branches alongside the altar with the heads of the willow branches bent over the altar” to add joy to the holiday (Chabad).  
 
The priests would then sound the shofar, circle the altar once, and say, "Anah Hashem hoshiah nah.  Anah Hashem hatzlichah nah (Please, God, bring us salvation.  (Please, God, bring us success)."
 

Jewish men at the Western (Wailing) Wall pray on Sukkot with the
Four Species.
 
On Hoshanah Rabbah, “The Great Hoshanah,” the priests circled the altar seven times.  
 
On this final day of Sukkot, probably during the water ceremony, Yeshua (Jesus) stood up and proclaimed Himself to be the source of Living Water—the salvation they joyfully prayed for.  He invited all who were thirsty to come and drink, the water representing the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh).
 
On the last and greatest day of the festival, Yeshua stood and said in a loud voice, ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to Me and drink.  Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.’  By this He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive.”  (John 7:37–39)
 

Children play in the Pool of Siloam in Jerusalem, from which the High
Priest used to draw the water for the Water Offering in ancient times.
 
God’s Timeline 
“The Kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah, and He will reign forever and ever.”  (Revelation 11:15)
 
While the spring feasts were fulfilled by the death and resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus), the fall feasts will be fulfilled with His second coming.
 
Some believe that when Yeshua returns as Messiah King, He will be hailed by the blast of the shofar (ram's horn) on the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah / Rosh HaShanah).
 
His people will recognize Him as their Messiah and mourn nationally, perhaps ten days later on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).
 
“I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to Me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for Him, as one grieves for his firstborn.”  (Zechariah 12:10)
 

A multi-family dinner held in a large Sukkah in Israel.
 
On Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), God will finally "tabernacle" with His people.  He will dwell among us, establishing His Messianic Kingdom of righteousness.
 
“Look!  God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and He will dwell [tabernacle] with them.  They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God.”  (Revelation 21:3)
 
This holiday reminds us that God will never forgot
the People of Israel.
 
The end-time prophecy Zechariah 14:12–19 seems to suggest that this holiday is the perfect time for the nations to also remember God’s people and stand with them.
 
 
As we look forward to the prophetic fulfillment of God establishing His Kingdom of Righteousness on earth, we ask our readers to give a special gift during Sukkot to our Bible project.

"For seven days celebrate the festival to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose.  For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete."  (Deuteronomy 16:15)
 
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7)

May you be blessed with happiness and
joy this Sukkot,

Chag Sameach (Happy Holiday)!

The Jewish people (the People of the Book)
gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.

Many have falsely said that God is finished with His
Chosen People; however, Bible prophecy clearly states that
this will never be so. In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving
among His people to physically and spiritually restore them.
