The Great Deception

Saturday 3 December 2005 | general

If you rearrange the letters of “Santa,” you can make the word “Satan.” Coincidence? Another term for “Satan” is “Old Nick.” Another term for Santa Claus is “Saint Nick.” Coincidence? Santa Claus descends into fire — just like the Devil. Coincidence? Santa is dressed in red. The traditional images of the devil have him dressed in red. Coincidence?

In most people’s world, yes, all these things are coincidences. But in the tilted universe of Blow the Trumpet, it’s most decidedly not a coincidence, but rather part one of the greatest deceptions ever pulled over mankind’s eyes.

It leaves you shaking your head and very pessimistic about the general intelligence of our species, but it’s worth it.

And so, I now present “The Great Deception.”

    I just watched that little deception video. They dramaticize some things. Like the red suit, and decending into fire. That’s kind of a stretch. Well, a lot of a stretch, to the point of being kind of goofy, really.
    However, Santa and Christmas are heavily pagan and pre-date Christianity, and such a celebration isn’t found anywhere in the Bible. Any historical evidence shows this.

    Hello,

    Actually the symbolic meaning of Santa dressed in red is that of Christ.

    Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

    Here is another one, Santa resides in the north. This is were God lives and Satan knows this:

    Isaiah 14:13
    For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.

    Your friend,
    Randy
