* Christmas & Ahnsahnghong *
After Jesus ascended to the Kingdom of Heaven and the last disciples died, the church began to be corrupted and accepted a lot of pagan holidays that are not described in the Bible. For so many centuries we all have been following customs established by man and not by God, that’s why no one was able to receive salvation.
But there is also another prophecy in the Bible
Hebrew 9:28 “…. Christ will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.”
Prophecy already fulfilled through the Bible. Christ Ahnsahnghong has come, to delivered us from the chains of satan that has spiritually blind us for so many years. Christ Ahnsahnghong came as prophecy to bring us salvation and to re-established all the lost truth.
Christ Ahnsahnghong have also teach us through the Bible that Christmas is a pagan holiday and not the sacred Holy Day.
When you first look at the root of Christmas you can find so a lot of information about its origin.
Let’s see some:
When the Christmas season arrives, in December, everyone gets into the festive spirit. Most people are under the impression that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday, the day when He came into the world to give blessings and eternal hope to mankind; however, the Church of God—believing in the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, does not celebrate Christmas, because it is not the birthday of Jesus. In fact, within Christmas is hidden a deceitful trick of Satan. The devil has tricked many people into worshiping the sun god by allowing them to fall into the illusion that they are sincerely worshiping God in the proper way.
Many people try to justify themselves, saying, “We celebrate Christmas because it is the birthday of Jesus.” However, Christmas—December 25th—is the birthday of the sun god, Nimrod, who was the first model of the Antichrist.
Christmas originated in the festival of Saturnalia, and is a subtle scheme, used by Satan, to destroy our souls. Satan always tries to turn us away from the way that God has commanded us to follow: “You shall have no other gods before me,” “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything.” Today, Satan is prowling around, like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. However, true Christians should resist him, we should be alert, and stand firm in our faith.
We need to be able to discern the truth from all of the falsehood. There are various materials which testify that the date of Jesus’ birth was not December 25th, and that this date was the birthday of the sun god, as it had been celebrated in ancient Rome. Even though all of the people living in this age believe that lies and falsehood are the truth, we are the ones who must restore the truth.
Christian history testifies that Christmas originated in pagan customs, from those who worshiped idols, and that it was not until much later that the festival became “Christianized.”
Dictionaries and newspapers also testify that December 25th was not the birthday of Jesus, but of the sun god.
*Encyclopedia BRITANNICA, p. 704.
“Christmas/December 25 was the date of a pagan festival in Rome, chosen in A.D. 274 by the emperor Aurelian as the birthday of the unconquered sun (natalis solis invicti), which at the winter solstice begins again to show an increase of light. At some point before A.D. 336 the church at Rome established the commemoration of the birthday of Christ, the sun of righteousness, on this same date.”
* Encyclopedia AMERICANA, p. 666.
“This date [December 25] was not set in the West until about the middle of the 4th century and in the East until about a century later…The reason for establishing December 25 as Christmas is somewhat obscure, but it is usually held that the day was chosen to correspond to pagan festivals that took place around the time of the winter solstice, when the days begin to lengthen, to celebrate the “rebirth of the sun.” Northern European tribes celebrate their chief festival of Yule at the winter solstice to commemorate the rebirth of the sun as the giver of light and warmth. The Roman Saturnalia (a festival dedicated to Saturn, the god of agriculture, and to the renewed power of the sun), also took place at this time and some Christmas customs are thought to be rooted in this ancient pagan celebration.”
* “TODAY” (a newspaper published in Singapore) Tuesday, December 21, 2004
“Two thousand years ago, this [Christmas] was the very kind of celebration that alarmed the early Christian Church, which was disgusted with the cheer and merriment that marked the pagan festivals of their new converts. At first, the Church forbade this kind of celebration. But it was to no avail….The 25th was not only sacred to the Romans, but also to the Persians—whose religion, Mithraism, was one of Christianity’s main rivals then. The Church was successful eventually in taking the merriment, lights and gifts from the pagan festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas. The history of celebrating the end of the year or of a cycle dates back to more than 4,000 years. Many of the Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before Jesus Christ was born…As the winter solstice approached, with its long cold nights and short days, many people feared the sun would not return. Special rituals and celebrations were held to welcome back the sun…”
And in a book entitled World Government and 666 it is written that the birthday of Nimrod—the first model of the Antichrist, historically—was celebrated on the 25th of December as the Roman festival, Saturnalia. The Franklin Institute, in America, also researched this subject, concluding that Jesus Christ was born in March or April.
Christ Ahnsahnghong testifies through the Bible about these as well:
Ezek. 8:14-18 “Then he brought me to the entrance to the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, mourning for Tammuz. He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this.” He then brought me into the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east. He said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the house of Judah to do the detestable things they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence and continually provoke me to anger? Look at them putting the branch to their nose! Therefore I will deal with them in anger; I will not look on them with pity or spare them. Although they shout in my ears, I will not listen to them.”
Who will care if an unbeliever worships the sun god, or even the old wood god? However, if a Christian worships the sun god, rejecting God’s command—”You shall have no other gods before me,” and, “You shall not worship idols”—it is detestable to God, isn’t it? The Bible says that such detestable acts are committed “between the portico and the altar.” Isn’t the chapel what lies between the portico and the altar? People worship the sun god within the very churches that have been established for worshiping God. How abominable!
Satan has ingeniously set a snare, and his trickery is nearly unnoticeable. If sun-worship could be recognized at a glance, who would go to such a church, looking to find God? In order to deceive many people, Satan hid sun-worship within church doctrine. Sunday service and Christmas are paragons of sun-worship.As stated above, Christmas is a pagan custom which has been Christianized. Its origin is a Roman festival of sun god worship, a slice of spiritual adultery, mixing truth with falsehood.
Christ Ahnsahnghong prophesied through the book of Daniel that Satan would speak against God and would try to change God’s set times and laws.
Dan 7:25 “He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.”
Christ Ahnsahnghong warns that He will bring severe punishment, without compassion, upon those who replace the laws of truth with their own rules, who rationalize false logic, and who change God’s sacred laws into those of the Romans—the sun-worshipers. When God’s judgment comes upon those who have worshiped the sun god—even though they have professed that they believe in God—this mark will bring redemption to God’s true people.
Ezek. 9:4-6 “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done in it.” As I listened, he said to the others, “Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were in front of the temple.”
Isa.9:13~16 “But the people have not returned to him who struck them, nor have they sought the LORD Almighty. So the LORD will cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day; the elders and prominent men are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail. Those who guide this people mislead them, and those who are guided are led by astray.”
Sunday worshiping service and Christmas—December 25th—are the weapons Satan uses to resist God. By sending many false prophets, Satan has taken many souls captive under hollow and deceptive philosophies. Everyone must follow God’s teachings, the truth which will lead us to eternal life in heaven, and we must turn away from Satan’s deception of Sunday service andChristmas.
Luke 6:46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”
We should all keep Christ Ahnsahnghong’s words in our minds, we shall be God’s faithful people who will follow the truth and will obey only what God has commanded. Because only through the Passover as Christ Ahnsahnghong testifies we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Believe in Heavenly Mother and in Christ Ahnsahnghong and the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven will be given to you.
