SANTA CLAUS THE MUCH-LOVED HERO OF CHRISTMAS
Santa has Eight Reindeer. Reindeer are symbolic of the Pagan Stag god.
The number 8 is the number for a new beginning, and, when laid on its side, is the occultic symbol for Infinity.
Objections to this tradition include the following:
Santa Claus is a mythical figure endowed with godlike attributes, including omniscience and omnipotence;

SANTA HAS SUPERPOWERS:
Travel the entire world in one night,
Santa also comes down a chimney, representing Christ who will return from above.
Santa Claus is a satanic imposter, designed by wicked people to steer children away from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Santa is a fictional character who is given the powers of being omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient.
This is blasphemy against God (Jesus Christ), Who is the ONLY One Who possess such divine qualities.

SANTA CLAUS – THE GREAT IMPOSER!
Before we look at Santa, let’s begin with some basic Bible facts:
The Bible clearly teaches a powerful, rebellious, subtle, evil being called the Devil, Lucifer or Satan.
The Bible teaches satan rebelled against God. And satan’s reason for rebellion is to be God.
Satan’s goal is to de-throne God and persuade mankind to rebel against God.  Isaiah 14:12-14.
The Bible clearly teaches Satan’s primary attack is the most vulnerable.
Luke 10:19 and 1 Peter 5:8. “
The Lord Jesus invites, and encourages little children to come unto him.
The younger years are by far the most spiritually fruitful in the life-cycle of an individual.
Mark 10:13-15 and Luke 18:15-17.
In Proverbs 22:6, the Bible explains the lifelong fruits of training a young child in the way he should go.
That early training is so strong and so deep – as that child grows and matures – they will not depart from it.
But – the flip side is: if that same child is trained by the ways of satan and the world, chances are that child will “not depart from it.”
The subtle temptation of Genesis reveals Satan’s clever “good and pleasant” message. Genesis 3:6.
As Eve saw the forbidden fruit, it was “good” and it was “pleasant” – and yet it was deadly. The devil is a “master of disguise”.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 11:14, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light”

LET’S TAKE A LOOK A SANTA.
And thou shalt call his name. (Matthew 1:21)
Santa – You ever noticed how easy it is to transform “Satan” from “Santa”? Just move the “n” to the end. And presto! “Satan” appears.
The rearranging of letters (called anagrams) to hide secret names or words has long been practiced in the occult.
H.P. Blavatsky, the Satanist and new age teacher writes in The Secret Doctrine:
Blavatsky also writes, the name is not important – but the letters. “The name isn’t important. It is the letters.”
Blavatasky’s anagrams were used to disguise who her true god was.
Blavatasky openly taught Satan is mankind’s true redeemer, creator and Saviour.
It’s also worth noting, “Santa” is Spanish for “holy”. Santa is also from the Latin word “sanctus” which means also “saintly, holy”. Our English words “saint, sanctify, et al” comes from “santa”. Sounds like Satan’s “I will be like the most High” is at it again.

“Holy Claus”?
Is “Claus” another anagram for “Lucas”? It’s no secret “Lucas” and “Lucis” is a new-age “code word” for “Lucifer”.
Claus sounds a lot like “claws”.

Jolly Old St. Nick
While Santa and Claus may be disguising their real meaning – there’s no disguising “ol’ St. Nick”. Nick, the devil.
“Devil: Besides the name Satan, he is also called Beelzebub, Lucifer and in popular or rustic speech by many familiar terms as Old Nick”
Reminds me of what the Lord Jesus warned us in John 10:1, 9, 10

Father Christmas
The famous anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss writes in his popular analysis of “Father Christmas”:
“Father Christmas is dressed in scarlet: he is a king.His white beard, his furs and his boots,
the sleigh in which he travels evoke winter. He is called ‘Father’ and he is an old man,
thus he incarnates the benevolent form of the authority of the ancients.” In other words, “Father Christmas” is God incarnate.
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 23:9

Kriss Kringle
By far, the name Kriss Kringle is the most blasphemous.
Believe it or not. “Kriss Kringle” is German for “little Christ Child”.
Santa Claus or Kriss Kringle is the counterfeit “Christ Child”!

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow. (Revelation 1:14)
Santa’s got a beard that’s long and white – Must be Santa.
The Lord Jesus is also described in Daniel 7:9 “I beheld till the thrones were cast down,
and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool”
Remember when we saw Claude Lévi-Strauss’s popular essay of “Father Christmas”:
“Father Christmas is dressed in scarlet: he is a king. His white beard, his furs and his boots,
the sleigh in which he travels evoke winter. He is called ‘Father’ and he is an old man,
thus he incarnates the benevolent form of the authority of the ancients.”

Who is this that cometh – red in thine apparel (Isaiah 63:2)
Santa wears boots and a suit of red;
The Lord Jesus Christ.  Isaiah 63:1-2 and Revelation 19:11-13.
Do you get the strangest feeling that someone is “copying” someone?

And his feet – as if they burned in a furnace (Revelation 1:15)
Santa Claus.  Revelation 1:13-15.
Satan wasn’t just kidding when he said in Isaiah 14:14.
The Lord Jesus warned us in John 10 about those that “entereth not by the door into the sheepfold,
but climbeth up some other way [like a chimney].” John 10:1, 2, 9, 10
Thor liked to wear furs in red for fire, and white for snow.
It’s no secret that Thor is also Satan.

Is not this the carpenter. (Mark 6:3)
Mark 6:3 tells us the Lord Jesus Christ was a carpenter.
Santa’s a – guess what – a carpenter too! Remember the god-Thor. Another of his symbols – a carpenters “hammer”.
10) His house – was toward the north (Ezekiel 8:14)
Of course, everyone knows Santa lives at the North Pole.
Could it possibly be because someone ELSE lives in the north?
Ezekiel 8:14 “Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north;”
Psalm 48:1-2 – The Lord dwells in “the north, the city of the great King”.
Isaiah 14:12-14 “I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High”.

Who rideth upon the heaven in thy help. (Deuteronomy 33:26)
As everyone knows, Santa miraculously rides upon the heavens as he delivers his gifts and love.
The famous poem “The Night Before Christmas” describes this amazing, flying, red-clothed, bearded,
whited-haired, super-man: As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
Sounds a lot like another episode I’m familiar with – when the Lord Jesus Christ went up to heaven:
Acts 1:9-10; Deuteronomy 33:26 and Ephesians 2:2.

Ho, ho – saith. (Zechariah 2:6)
Satan Claus.? Right? Zechariah 2:6 “Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD”.
13) and his angels were cast out with him (Revelation 12:9)
Santa’s Little Helpers. Santa has some cute little helpers called “elves”.
The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft has some interesting insights into “Santa’s Little Helpers”. For instance, elves are Satan’s fallen angels:
The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft also writes that some elves have an appetite for human blood:
Elves are found in the writings of Satanist and new age-theosophy guru H.P. Blavatsky.
Dr. Koch is without question the world’s foremost authority on demonism and the occult.
Dr. Koch writes of elves: “These elves often appear to children and even play with them. The moment and adult comes on the scene, the elves disappear.
Dr. Koch claims these elves’ “chief” is the “devil himself” – “Santa’s Little Helpers”.
They stand in line to sit in his loving lap.

Mark 10:13-14 “And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them. 1 John 4:19.
Satan’s ultimate goal is worship. And millions of children are lovingly giving him their God-given child-like faith. They love Santa!
Remember in Luke 4, when Jesus Christ was tempted of Santa (uh – I mean Satan) in the wilderness.
Little children are worshipping him. And not only that – he is stealing their child-faith at the greatest time
of salvation in their whole life! What a plan! What a master-piece of deception! And the average parents are Satan’s greatest evangelists.

Ask, and it shall be given you. (Matthew 7:7)
Millions of children worldwide will be praying and asking their god-Santa for their presents.
And here’s the kicker – come Christmas morning – they’ll believe ol’ Satan (they’re just too much alike. I mean – Santa)lovingly gave them all their presents.
Santa (or Satan take your pick) has replaced God as the gracious giver of gifts and the one who answers their prayers.
Psalm 37:4 “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart”.
Matthew 7:7-8, 11 “Ask, and it shall be given you;

All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (Matthew 28:18)
Is there anyone like Santa Claus? He sees you when you’re sleeping, He knows when you’re awake;
He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake.
Santa knows everything. Children are taught, religiously, that Santa knows everything. He knows what they want for Christmas.
Santa has the attributes of God Almighty. Santa has replaced God in the lives of “Santa-worshipping” children.

It may be a fable to the grown-ups, but those little kids – they believe and love Santa with all their little heart!
They are taught, heartily, by the people they love and trust more than anyone on earth – that Santa is their god.
The following verses would well fit the average child’s gospel of Santa:
“Be not ye therefore like unto them: for Santa knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” Matthew 6:8 and 1 Corinthians 3:20
Santa is Everywhere – He’s Omnipresent.
Santa “miraculously” visits millions of children, all across the world, in one “quick as a wink” night.
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. . .” (1 Corinthians 15:52)!
Proverbs 15:3 “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good”.
To the average child – Santa can do anything. What can Santa not do? Genesis 18:14 “Is anything too hard for the LORD?”
In one night, the all-powerful, Santa delivers millions and millions of gifts to children all around the world. Who could do that?
Isn’t it amazing what these little children believe “with all their heart” about their god – Santa?
These little kids believe and have more faith in their Santa than all the Christians of the world.
17) Thy years are throughout all generations. (Psalm 102:24)
Santa is from everlasting to everlasting. His “years are throughout all generations”.
Possessing the attribute of an eternal God, Santa “thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.”
Psalm 93:1-2 “thou art from everlasting.
Psalm 102:24-27 ” I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end”.

I will pour out my spirit. (Proverbs 1:23)
The Christmas “Spirit”? And yes, Santa has his own “spirit”. John 14:16-17.
Galatians 4:6 “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father”.

Come, ye children. I will teach you the fear of. (Psalm 34:11)
Children the world over are taught to FEAR Santa.
Would not Psalm 76:7 certainly apply to Santa Claus in the eyes of most children?
“Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?”
While our children should be taught the fear of the Lord, most are taught the sacrilegious fear of the false god of Santa.

Every one of us shall give account of himself to. (Romans 14:12)
Santa – He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice. He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.
Romans 14:12 “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God”. Revelation 20:12.

Then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory. (Matthew 25:31)
Go watch Santa sitting on his royal throne. Kids are lined up to sit on his lap of judgement.
Psalm 11:4? “The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold,
his eyelids try, the children of men”. There’s no question it’s a mockery and pretender of the judgement of a Holy God.

Remember when Herod, playing Santa (Acts 12:21 – 24), dressed in his Santa suit (royal apparel),
on his throne, and the people saying, It is the voice of a god (a.k.a Santa), and not of a man.

Were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. (Revelation 20:12)
Revelation 5:1 “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
 Revelation 20:12-15.

And many believed on him. (John 10:42)
I wonder how many children this Christmas will be asked, “Do you BELIEVE in Santa?”
I know one thing – it’ll be more than all the Christians of the world asking “Do you BELIEVE in Jesus?”
Acts 16:31 “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house”.
What happens when these children put so much false hope into a lie? What happens as that child learns that wonderful Santa is a hoax?
To confuse matters even worse the Lord Jesus is dragged into the lie by celebrating his birth.
24) Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of. (Titus 2:13)
This Christmas Eve millions and millions of little children will climb into their beds
“looking for their blessed hope and the glorious appearing” of Santa Claus.
Probably the greatest theme and most anticipated event in all the Bible is the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is the Christian’s “blessed hope”:
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:13
The gospel of Santa is a “counterfeit” of the “blessed hope” of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

James 5:8 “Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Ho! Ho! Ho! I Am God.
And that’s EXACTLY the message being preached to these little children! And you’d have to be spiritually blind
to not see the possible spiritual damage such a massive, faith-based, God-like, LIE could do to the faith and trust of that young child.

But it is just fantasy.
Most parents will not openly lie to their children. Especially something that is a blatant imposter of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And Satan knows this. But they’ll easily do it under the disguise of fantasy. It is just fantasy.
Satanist Anton LaVey, author of The Satanic Bible and founder of the First Church of Satan
“Fantasy plays an important role in any religious curriculum, for the subjective mind is less discriminating
about the quality of its food than it is about the taste. . . Thus, fantasy is utilized as a magic weapon [in Satanism].
But those little kids are deceived in believing “with all their little heart” in a god that’s an imposter of the Lord Jesus Christ.
What happens later when they’re asked to “trust and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ”?
