Dark Winter Solstice Conjunction


Today is the first time in written history, that I could tell, when the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter has occurred exactly on the winter solstice. This whole year, Pluto was also in conjunction with them which adds to the rarity of the event. Did the satanic ruling class know this way in advance and plan for it? Well, what do you think Satanists do? Of course they did. That's why we have this plandemic. It is telling, in more ways that one, that they are using a term from a senior-level bio-attack simulation held in June of 2001.

This year saw the resurgence of this term and since then it has been repeated ad nauseum by many people in politics and the media.

Just type the term "dark winter" into a search and see the endless trail of results. This is a psychological operation as a satanic ritual meant to get under your skin and plant the virus of fear as well as hope. Hope in a system of technocratic stature with eugenic overtones. The nature of predictive programming is such that when the idea that you have been conditioned with manifests in real life you are already conditioned to accept it as reality.

The predictive programming of the propagandist media and their use of the term "dark winter" is a satanic ritual to spread more mass deception around the world. Remember the blood moons of 2016 and the 7 Salem eclipse of 2017? They were warnings to us from God as much as they were opportunities in the eyes of occultists. We should not turn a blind eye to either. Ignoring what the rulers of this age are doing is not going to make it go away, like pulling a blanket over your head when an intruder enters your home. Putting on the whole armor of God is not so you can sit back and ignore the battle. In war, you anticipate your opponent's moves, expose them to your generals and plan to counter accordingly.

Of course, as you might point out, the heavens declare the glory of God, so why should I care what evil people are doing? Because the people ruling this world are trying to deceive everyone into believing a satanic narrative, which tries to look godly. Should we turn a blind eye if we have eyes to see? Is that not just laziness and willful ignorance, even neglect?

The significance of this one-time cosmic event cannot be understated, because occultists and new agers all around the world are looking into its astrological meaning, grasping for some celestial answer that will lead them into the Age of Aquarius. It is not only these people who are being duped, though. Even Christians, who are supposed to reject this type of thinking, are falling into the trap. Maybe not in an overtly occult way, but they are swallowing the pill of deception nonetheless. People all around the world are looking at this as a positive sign for social change and technological revolution. The only positive thing this sign brings is a warning from God to open your eyes. It is 2020 folks. Do you have eyes to see what is happening right now?

UN Agenda 21, Eugenics, Technocracy, New World Order, Transhumanism... Satanism.

John 14:30
I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.

Ephesians 6:12-13
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

1 Peter 5:8-10
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

1 John 5:19
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

Holydaze - the Origins of the Holiday Season - Part 1


The Origins of the Holiday Season

Part 1

hol·i·day  /ˈhäləˌdā/
Origin: Old English hāligdæg ‘holy day’


Why do we do the things we do?

In our search for truth, it is good to question every tradition we have come to accept as normal in our society, lest we fall short of the will of God and see the proverbial writing on the wall:

Mene mene tekel uparshin
(You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting)
Daniel 5:25

In this exposition we will examine the historical record to see what theologians and historians wrote about the holiday season. We will observe both ancient and more modern sources in order to rightly divide the truth regarding the origins of the holidays billions of people have come to know and love. Let us do this so that we may prove the perfect, acceptable will of God (Romans 12:2). At the same time, we will examine some of the arguments people use to justify the celebration of the holiday season to see if they hold up to scrutiny. Let us test all things as Paul tells us to in 1 Thessalonians 5:21.

For millennia, the winter solstice has repeatedly been associated with heavy drinking, obnoxious revelries and lewd behavior. This was in part due to pagan religious beliefs about that particular time of year. Lucian, a mid-2nd century writer writes as Saturn in the first person, saying to the Romans, “During My week the serious is barred; no business allowed. Drinking, noise and games and dice, appointing of kings and feasting of slaves, singing naked, clapping of frenzied hands, an occasional ducking of corked faces in icy water—such are the functions over which I preside.”

The Romans and the Greeks considered the time leading up to the winter solstice a holiday season and this season has persisted throughout the western world for millennia. The Puritans refused to celebrate Christmas and wanted nothing to do with it. This is not only because of the typically loose behavior that accompanied the winter celebrations, but because they saw no biblical or spiritual reason to participate in them. All throughout the late Roman Empire and Medieval Europe the holiday season was largely considered a pagan festival and was shunned by many churches. Yet, some still adopted them with the intention of Christianization. From the second century all the way to today there has never been a consensus that Christmas is even a Christian holiday. There were times when the Roman church tried to clean up the holidays and associate them with Christian themes, yet it didn’t really catch on at first. Centuries later, at the end of the Renaissance, the holiday season started seeing a resurgence of popularity, but it was not a Christian resurgence. It was secular and pagan in nature. It carried the same elements of drunkenness and pleasure-seeking that the Roman holidays did. In the 19th century there were considerable efforts made to clean up the bad reputation of the holidays and create an image, a feeling and a spirit that was more family/community oriented. This holiday season carried the added benefit of increased commerce at a time when people tended to spend less, though one might argue commercialism was the primary reason for the revival of the season.

There were many failed attempts to clean up these pagan winter festivals, known primarily in the Roman Empire by the names Saturnalia and Brumalia. These ancient days of Brumae eventually transformed into the modern Holiday Season which encompasses Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Winter festivals have a written history as far back as the 7th century BC in the ancient near east (probably much further back in Egypt) to the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD, where Christ’s nativity was declared as being the true reason for the season. In spite of this declaration the pagan spirit persisted even through Justinian’s ban of the holidays in the 6th century. People insisted on celebrating these festivals the way they had been for centuries, regardless of what the church or emperor would say, all the way through to the 11th century, where the Eastern Byzantine Empire, known for its religious orthodoxy (especially Constantinople), held fast to these traditions. It is no surprise that Constantine’s prized city kept these customs alive, especially considering the corruptions that occurred in the church during his 4th century reign. Most Christians are taught that Constantine was a savior, a hero-type figure, who helped to make Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. What really occurred was a twisting of the Gospel truth, the rise of Dominion Theology, encouragement towards the syncretization of religions, a suppression of the nature and identity of Yahshua and the merging of the church with the State (might I dub it the ApoState?). Constantine and the Council of Nicea are subjects worthy of their own in-depth study. For now, though, let’s look at Christmas in its more modern form. From there we can trace it back to see what can be learned of its history. We will do this to answer the opening question of this book: “Why do we do the things we do?” In order to remain open to an answer you may not want to hear consider first the following verse before we move on:

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalms 139:23-24

The Modern Resurgence of Christmas


Let us begin our journey back through time with the words of a well-known, 19th century preacher, Charles Spurgeon.

We have no superstitious regard for times and seasons. Certainly, we do not believe in the present ecclesiastical arrangement called Christmas. First because we do not believe in any mass at all, but abhor it, whether it be sung in Latin or in English: Secondly, because we find no scriptural warrant whatever for observing any day as the birthday of the Savior; and consequently, its observance is a superstition, because not of divine authority. Superstition has fixed most positively the day of our Savior’s birth, although there is no possibility of discovering when it occurred... It was not till the middle of the third century that any part of the church celebrated the birth of our Lord; and it was not till long after the western Church had set the example, that the eastern adopted it. Because the day is not known... Probably the fact is that the “holy” days were arranged to fit in with the heathen festivals. We venture to assert that if there be any day in the year of which we may be pretty sure that it was not the day on which our Savior was born it is the 25th of December... I will neither justify nor condemn… Regarding not the day, let us give God thanks for the gift of His dear Son.” —C. H. Spurgeon Dec. 24, 1871 (Spurgeon, Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit)

Spurgeon simplified and condensed a lot of information in this statement. Clearly, he knew a good deal of the history behind the Holiday Season. His sermon pointed not only to the incarnation but to the death on the cross, for it was not the incarnation alone that saved us. The shed blood on the cross is the focus in the epistles of the apostles. Rarely was birth even mentioned. It was what Christ accomplished on the cross that completed and fulfilled the good news of the Gospel. In this sermon he didn’t condemn meditating on the incarnation of Christ, but he certainly criticized the typical traditions that people had come to depend on in order to enjoy Christmas. In an earlier sermon in 1856, he said, “…though I have no respect to the religious observance of the day, yet I love it as a family institution…” He was preaching at a time when Europe and North America were experiencing a massive resurgence of the Christmas holiday and I’m sure this is what prompted his exhortation as well as his obvious apprehension towards the “holiday.”

With a fervent admonition from such a well-respected minister as Charles Spurgeon, should we not perform our due diligence by testing his claims about Christmas? Shouldn’t we use our Spirit-given discernment to determine if what he is saying is the truth? If we find the evidence is compelling, and even more, then we must face the decision to cease celebrating these “holy days.” The fact is there is nothing holy about them because they are not God-ordained, and they have nothing to do with the Gospel of Yahshua Christ except what man has assigned to them. It is a shame that most Christians have decided to ignore or reinterpret the parts of the Bible they don’t agree with and accept a half-hearted, watered-down version of the Gospel. Let us embrace it wholly, not shying from the cross of Christ, which is the focal point of His life on earth.

What scares the Dickens out of you?



In 1843, Charles Dickens published his famous novella, A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, known in short as A Christmas Carol. It immediately became an overnight success. A critic named Margaret Oliphant wrote the faintest praise of all her contemporary critics, characterizing Dickens’s book as “the apotheosis of turkey and plum pudding,” and admitted that “it moved us all in those days as if it had been a new gospel.” (Wikipedia, WV Gazette-Mail, Lithub). Despite there being nothing Christian about the story it made its way into the hands and homes of many Christians, nonetheless. Although the purported inspiration of the story was Dickens’ disgust towards child labor and the brutality of the burgeoning Industrial Revolution, the real appeal was the surface morality of being jolly and generous during the Christmas season, as well as shunning those who oppose the Christmas spirit. In a way, Ebenezer Scrooge was not only a representative of the cold business class but a caricature of those pesky Puritan types who rained on everyone’s parade. Ironically, the very Industrial Revolution Dickens’ was railing against helped him to capitalize on his own work, making him rich and creating an opportunity for mass consumerism that never existed in such a wide-reaching capacity before.

If we are addressing the irony of Dickens then let us note that Ebenezer is a name from the Bible, seen in 1 Samuel 7:12. The Hebrew name means, “stone of help.” The Bible says that the Israelites came against the Philistines in battle near a city called Ebenezer. They were participating in idolatry at that time and thought that if they brought the Ark of the Covenant into the camp surely Yahweh would give them victory like He had done before. The Philistines defeated them, and Israel suffered great loss, including the ark, which was carried off by the enemy. After they realized they lost because of their idolatry they repented. The next time they went against the Philistines Yahweh gave them victory. You see, we cannot be idolaters and expect God to help us. We gain victory by remaining pure and holy. If we become complacent and undiscerning, falling into compromise and idolatry, we can’t expect God to stand up for us. The scariest thing about this account is that the Israelites didn’t even know they were sinning until they were defeated! How could this be possible? They knew what Yahweh commanded them. Surely, they would know if they were committing a grave sin. Evidently, they did not, and this was not the first time. They fell into idolatry over and over, which led God’s hand to teach them many hard lessons.

The takeaway for Christians is that we cannot put Christ in something that He was not in to begin with, just as the Israelites cannot attempt to bring the ark to a losing battle thinking God is in that ark. The ark is a symbol of a pure heart with God’s law written within, but they did not have pure hearts. The “stone” that helped them (being a foreshadowing of Christ) came after they repented of their idolatry.

At some point in his life Dickens became a Unitarian, a denomination that rejects the Trinity and the divine nature of Christ. Unitarians also reject the doctrine of Original Sin and instead adopt a Humanist approach to spirituality, placing an emphasis on using reason in order to understand the Bible. These tenants eventually led to their universal acceptance of all people, including liberal Christians, Buddhists, Jews and neo-pagans. Humanism is the basis of humanitarianism and the justification of works-based faith for many Christians. They think that charity of any kind is of Christ when it is the other way around. Christ will lead you to right charity.

Because of Dickens’ beliefs it is no wonder that Ebenezer, the stone that helps, takes on a form that merely looks like the author’s own conception of Christ in the story. You see, Scrooge became more “Christ-like” by being scared out of his wits by ghosts of his past. These ghosts persuaded him to become nice, generous and caring instead of greedy and grumbling. While these might be commendable traits this is a very watered-down summation of Christ’s teachings and an obvious attempt to use Christmas as a crutch for this message. Repentance is not enough to save you. It is making Christ Lord over your life that saves you. In this tale it is not God or Christ leading Scrooge to repentance. It is pagan ideas, myths and legends.

It is no wonder it is the iconic tale that defined Christmas, a holiday that was, from its Christianized inception, aimed to unite disparate groups of people in a common harmony. A Christmas Carol doesn’t really have Christ in it, but it does have other elements of spirituality, elements that are clearly pagan in nature. For example, it wasn’t Christ that inspired Scrooge to change. It was the ghosts of Christmas past, present and yet to come. The ghost of Christmas Present is a perfect depiction of the Germanic Holly King, complete with symbols of firelight, life and abundance in the midst of winter’s desolation (see illustration). Similarly, the Ghost of Christmas Present bore a striking, purposeful resemblance to the Grim Reaper, who is the personification of Death. The Grim Reaper has his origins in the same symbolism of Cronos/Saturn, who was an unpleasant, elderly man carrying a scythe and ruling over time. Father Time also shares in the same roots and is closely associated with the old year transitioning to the new year. It was the fear of death and leaving behind a legacy of selfishness that finally made Scrooge decide to be more selfless. That’s humanism, not Christianity. I think many Christians have a narrow view of paganism. Pagans have morals too. They don’t all go around conducting sexual rituals and child sacrifices. Many pagans would be considered very moral, humanitarian people. So, what then, separates Christian morality from pagan? Remember, Satan comes disguised as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). He is trying to look like Christ, who is the light and life of the world. He wants to deceive you into thinking you are behaving according God’s will when really, it is his will that you are doing.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20

If Dickens understood the name Ebenzer then perhaps the “Stone of help,” who is Christ, would have a place in his story. If so, it would have been a much different story, but then again, it probably wouldn’t have inspired the following generations to adopt “morally acceptable” pagan traditions. I doubt he would have written the book at all if that were the case. The true Gospel is not a popular message.

It is interesting to note that Queen Victoria was a lover of Dickens’ writings. In 1848, an engraving was published in in the Illustrated London News of a Christmas tree in Windsor Castle surrounded by Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, their servants and several children (see illustration). This was a depiction of an event that actually occurred. Prince Albert brought an evergreen, called a Tannenbaum, into the castle as part of his German heritage. This cover story’s image, along with Dickens’ story, inspired people in both Europe and America to begin reviving and reinventing the image and spirit of Christmas, filtering out centuries of licentiousness, leaving the relics of things deemed good and worthy of practice by the judgment of men, not God. Within 10 years Christmas trees were a standard tradition in homes all across the western world.



The Holly King is an ancient Germanic/Celtic/Norse personification of wintertime, which inspired the modern Father Christmas. Compare the likenesses of the Holly King to the depiction of the Ghost of Christmas Present in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.


Illustrated London News, 1848

It was not long before Christians started trying to make Christmas about Christ, but Spurgeon was arguing that it was not a Christian cause, that we should ignore the holiday and be separate from the world. His Puritan counterparts from the 16th century would wholeheartedly agree. Sure, the Puritans were often very legalistic, but at least they had a desire for purity and godliness. I feel the same way about such religious movements as the Anabaptists, Amish and Mennonites. Unfortunately, most people that decide to abandon the legalism of these denominations only wind up blanketly calling any form of religious confrontation legalism. It’s a shame because purity doesn’t have to be legalistic, and many times those who are being called pharisees are being called such by the pharisees of a “new-and-improved” version of Christianity.

Charity

The “spirit of Christmas,” which stories like A Christmas Carol promote, mean to suggest that through philanthropy one can gain a happy, fulfilling life. Donations to charity skyrocket at this time of year. It is easy for a Christian to justify “getting in the Christmas spirit” because it is supposedly Christ-like to give to those in need, but are you getting into the spirit of Christmas or is it getting into you? If the definition of being Christ-like is charity to everyone and if Christ was a humanitarian, why did He walk by the crippled man at the temple knowing He could heal Him? Surely, He saw this man, who was lame from birth and was brought to the temple daily to beg for alms. Why did He wait and let Peter heal him (Acts 3:1-16)? Why, being full of the grace of God and wise beyond His years as a child, did He restrict His ministry to only three years when He could have been preaching the Gospel and healing everyone He came across His whole life? The answer is simple. Christ only ever did the will of the Father. If it was not God’s will that He heal, then He did not heal. So, are Christians always supposed to be charitable? Do you get a reward for giving regardless of when or to whom you are giving? I suppose the real question is, can we make charity into an idol? According to Tertullian, we can. His argument is nothing less than compelling. We can take anything good and turn it into an idol by the works of our own hands.

The Spirit of Babylon is the worship of humanity above God. Humanitarianism is an idea that people fall in love with because it fits their own view of morality. People forget that God’s morality is not their morality. When humanitarianism takes precedence over God, you have become an idolater. Remember, Yahshua reduced the 10 Commandments to 2, saying the first is, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength…” and the second being, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” The second cannot become the first. When it does you can expect judgment to come sooner or later.

I will utter My judgments against them concerning all their wickedness,
Because they have forsaken Me, burned incense to other gods,
And worshiped the works of their own hands.
Jeremiah 1:16

If your charity and humanitarianism is the works of your own hands, it is worthless to God. However, if your charity is the work of God, then it is commendable in His sight. Knowing the difference is knowing when God is speaking to you and when you are following the dictates of the world, which often try to imitate God.

Holydaze - New Book Release

It's been a while since I last posted, mostly because I have been questioning whether God wanted me to. Over the last year God has given me many revelations and insights into different subjects, of which I will gladly be sharing with anyone who is interested, here on this blog or otherwise.

For a couple of years now, I have been doing in-depth research on the subject of the holidays. Over time I amassed about 20,000 words of random notes on the subject and a boat load of resources to draw from. At the same time I was, and have been, praying to God to take action in my life regarding my ministry and my job, which have been somewhat in opposition to one another. After much prayer, God has finally set in motion the good things I requested by releasing me from my job as a webmaster/online marketing manager, and giving me time and head space to focus on organizing the information I have collected by His good graces. I don't know if He will lead me to another job or if He wants me to remain only in ministry, but I am open to both possibilities. I am praying that He will open and close doors as He sees fit and guide me on the narrow path of life.


I am happy to finally post the first edition of my first book, which God has directed me to write and release, Holydaze, the Origins of the Holiday Season. Although there are still a few chapters I would like to add to the book at some point I do feel it has reached a state of maturity that is ready and timely for your eyes and spiritual ears.

At some point I will be making my own website where I will be posting this work as well as another book that is in the works about the Trinity, tentatively titled Three in One, One in Three. God prompted me to write this book after an encounter with an anti-trinitarian, and since then I have come to find that there are many misconceptions about the nature of the Father, the Son and the Spirit. This work will be published in the coming months along with my website.

It is my aim to turn these books into individual blogs, videos, Facebook posts and newsletters for the inmates in the prison ministry Parables Bookshelf, which was given to me by God through Joseph Herrin about 4 years ago. For those who don't know who Joseph is, he is a minister who wrote 22 books and many articles, which are published for free on his website heart4god.ws. He had a stroke a week after I moved to Montezuma, GA where he resides. Since then God has been working on raising me up into a minister for Him, beginning with taking over Joseph's prison ministry and now moving into the public sphere. Admittedly, I am still a very flawed man who feels unworthy to be teaching, but by His grace, mercy, correction and longsuffering, I am learning to hear His voice more clearly and to follow His Spirit onto the path He has laid for me. I pray that He will use these works He has given me to minister to you in the ways that He knows you need, and may we, as brothers and sisters grow together, firmly established in the truth of His love.
