SANTA who?

So today, I decided I wouldn't be teaching my children to ‘believe’ in ‘Satan Lucas a.k.a. Santa Claus’. Nice rearranging of letters, don’t you think?

You see since the beginning of time, satan has been looking for ways to upstage God. In fact that was what got him in trouble in the first place. Isaiah 14:13-14

For you have said in your heart:

‘I will ascend into heaven,

I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;

I will also sit on the mount of the congregation

On the farthest sides of the north;

 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,

I will be like the Most High.’

The greatest fallacy he wanted to perpetuate and still wants to ‘being like the Most High.’ There is only one Most High and no-one else. Notice that in his arrogance he still acknowledged that there was only one Most High. Thus he didn't say I will become THE Most High, just that he would BE LIKE the Most High.

Even the Bible in 1 Peter 5:8 refers to him as ‘like a roaring lion...’. Remember that Jesus is THE LION of the tribe of Judah. In the Garden of Eden, he tried to upstage God’s creation and make them become his. That didn't really work and didn't sit well with God. So he changed tactics. Let’s ruin the bloodline. He sent the ‘sons of God’ otherwise referred to as the fallen angels (there’s a whole bunch of Bible theology discussing that which I won’t go into) to mate with human beings and thus defile human blood. Gen 6:2-4. Vs 4 says ‘There were Giants...’, as a result of satan’s meddling there were Giants. Let’s take a closer look. The Hebrew word for Giant as used in Gen 6 vs 4 is ‘nephı̂yl’ or ‘nephil’ (nef-eel). I believe this is where the discussion about the ‘nephilim’ originates. But I digress. The word is nephil, and it means ‘a feller, that is a bully or tyrant. So these ‘nephil’ may or may not have been giants stature-wise, but they were bullies, this we can be certain on. So as a result of satan’s work, bullies were born. So what did God do? Sent a flood and wiped every last one of them out!

So with all these and I'm sure many more examples of satan’s attempts to upstage God it was inconceivable that he would let the birth of Jesus go unsullied. Nope that opportunity was too good to pass up. Hence the birth of ‘Santa Claus’ aka ‘Satan Lucas’. All I have done is rearrange the letters in the names. So ‘Santa Claus’ that everyone including me alludes to when we celebrate Christmas, we are actually without realizing it celebrating satan himself.

I was reading an article about a ‘man of God’ and I came across a comment that said santa and satan, now for the life of me I cannot seem to find said comment, however, it got me thinking. And I started looking at my Bible, it can’t be a coincidence that the names can be rearranged. You see, first Christmas became commercialised, gifts galore etc. Then it became X-Mas. A mass not celebrating any known entity (Christmas i.e Christ’s Mass). Then it became be good or Santa Claus won’t give you any gift etc.

Now, why did I get ‘Lucas’in the mix. Lucas means bringer of light. Lucifer means, yup, you guessed it ‘bringer of light’. Lucas is a variation of Lucius which is a variation of, again you guessed it Lucifer. It would have been too obvious if he rearranged Lucifer, so he had to do it a little subtly. For those who choose name their children Lucas or Lucius or Lucia or Lucy etc, this is no way a commentary on their names. However, I think I’ll steer clear of using that name on mine. So Santa Claus, actually means, Satan Lucas, that is the accuser (Satan) and bringer of light (Lucas). What do you know Santa brings gifts for kids that have been good and canes for kids that have been bad. Hmm...coincidence? Me think not. Now these days more people know about Santa during Christmas than about Jesus or should I say more people acknowledge Santa than Jesus. Yup, the deceiver at work, trying to take away attention from the word of God. As always, the Lord will always bring to light the machinations of the evil one and expose to those who ask God for wisdom and his (the deceiver, devil) plan always fails.

All I am saying, people, is if you do not know and are not entirely certain of the origin of anything, be careful. Anything that takes away the meaning of Christmas and draws away from the birth of Christ CANNOT BE GOOD, I do not care what you say. Don’t get me wrong, I am not against celebrating Christmas as the birth of Christ, neither am I against gift-giving, (if you are taking notes, I would prefer a deep purple Lamborghini with purple upholstery and silver lining PLEASE); what I am against is replacing the celebration of Jesus during Christmas with celebrating ‘Santa’(visiting Santa at grottos etc). When did it become acceptable to sing ‘Santa Claus is coming to town’ at Christmas instead of ‘A child is born in Bethlehem’ or ‘Noel Noel born is the King of Israel’?
