Smash And Burn

What is the best way to put your past behind you?

Every year growing up, on December 26th, we would begin cleaning up the Christmas mess.  The final act was dragging what was left of the unfortunate cedar tree, that had been sacrificed for Christmas, out into a field near our house, and burning it.  Once that was done, then it was certain that the disruption of our lives, that had started right after Thanksgiving, was really over.  It was destroying the last remnant of Christmas, that finally brought closure.

This is often repeated on a larger scale in various cities across the world, where people pile all of their Christmas trees into a huge pyramid shaped pile, and create a bonfire to bring about closure.  In fact, the very word "bonfire" is symbolic of bringing about closure, because the word was originally "bone fire", when the bones of the dead were burned to bring about closure.

These Christmas tree bonfires came from a holiday of the religion of the Druids, to mark the midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox, called "Imbolc".  The principle Spirit of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) worshiped on Imbolc was "Brigid", the mother of Spring, who was said to be entering labor to bring about Spring on that day.  The bonfires were set to remind people that the Sun was winning out over Winter, and that warmer days would soon be upon them.  The ceremonies of Imbolc were continued on Saint Brigid Day, as people came into the House of Truth from among the Celts.  However, this celebration of a woman, who was named after a goddess of the Druids, on the same day that their goddess had been celebrated, observed by carrying on the same traditions, that were used to celebrate that goddess, and then changing the name of that celebration from Imbolc to Saint Bridig Day, was not part of Celtic Christianity in its original form.

Eventually, people found it inconvenient, to wait until the first day of February, to burn their Christmas trees.  So they started having Christmas tree bonfires, some time within the two weeks that followed Christmas.  Some of these of Christmas tree bonfires occur on New Year's Eve, because people are not just putting last Christmas behind them, but putting the entire year behind them.  These Christmas tree bonfires on New Year's Eve, bring closure to the entire year.

In similar manner, when I first came into the House of Truth, I gathered all of my albums by artists with occultic overtones,  like "Black Sabbath", and my other paraphernalia that was associated with the Occult.  I then proceeded to smash and burn all of them.  I was putting my past behind me, and giving it no opportunity to return.  It was this policy of smash and burn, that finally brought closure.

After that, I was baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost), and began to produce the sound of power.  When this happened, I no longer wanted anything to do with secular music of any kind.  It was not about any particular style of music, that I suddenly found repulsive, but it was the contents of their lyrics.  So I gathered my secular country, southern rock, rock, heavy metal, punk, new wave, and pop records, all together, like I had done with my occultic items previously.  I also removed all of the things associated with the lifestyle, promoted by these secular artists from my home.  Then I put them all behind me, by continuing the smash and burn policy, that brings closure.

Where did this policy of smash and burn come from?  Why is a policy of smash and burn, necessary to put your past behind you?  Why does implementing this policy of smash and burn, bring closure?

The Book of Truth (The Bible) answers these questions.

The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) smashed everything on Earth with water when He sent the flood, because the weight of the more than 2 miles (3 kilometers) of water above every city, needed to put the top of the water more than twenty feet above the tallest mountain, (the tallest mountain was probably much shorter before the Flood), would absolutely crush everything under the water (Genesis 7:18-20).  In like manner, He utterly destroyed Sodom, Gomorrah, and everything in the valley, except Zoar (because He does not take collateral damage), by smashing them with brimstone, and burning them with fire (Genesis 19:23-25).

The Father of Truth told the people of Israel, in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law), to continue His policy of smash and burn, when they came into the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 7:5).  So Joshua smashed and burned the city of Jericho, when the people of Israel first came into the Promised Land (Joshua 6:16-24).   King Josiah obeyed the Father of Truth, when he carried out his massive smash and burn policy, that extended throughout the Promise Land, even beyond the borders of his own kingdom (2 Kings 23:3-15).

The Father of Truth promised, that He would cause everything in the Promised Land to be smashed and burned, if the people of Israel polluted the Promised Land, as the former inhabitants had done (Deuteronomy 29:23-26).  So when the people of Israel polluted the Promised Land, He sent the Babylonians, to smash and burn everything in Jerusalem, including the Temple (Jeremiah 52:12-14).

Everything that is associated with the Father of Lies, or the Spirits of Lies, is polluted, and must be destroyed (Deuteronomy 7:25-26).   Nothing associated with the Father of Lies, or the Spirits of Lies, is to be spared from destruction (Deuteronomy 13:17).  So Joshua warned the people of Israel, to not keep anything associated with the Father of Lies, or the Spirits of Lies, because possessing those things, would take away the blessing of the Father of Truth, off of the whole congregation (Joshua 6:18).  So Joshua destroyed from among the people of Israel, the one who kept something associated with the Spirits of Lies, so that the blessing of the Father of Truth, would come back on the whole congregation (Joshua 7:12-15).

So the Father of Truth smashed the Earth with water, to completely destroy everyone, who was wholly given over to carrying out the will of the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil), and everything that the Father of Lies had corrupted (Genesis 6:5-7).  He smashed and burned Sodom and Gomorrah, with brimstone and fire, because of their cities had become associated, with the wicked practices that come from the Father of Lies (Genesis 18:20-23).  He commanded the people of Israel, to smash and burn everything, that had anything to do with the Father of Lies, so that the past of the Promised Land, could permanently be put behind it (Deuteronomy 12:1-3).  He commanded the people of Israel, to smash and burn any city of their own, if it was polluting the Promised Land, by performing the wicked practices, that come from the Spirits of Lies (Deuteronomy 13:12-16).  King Josiah carried out His policy of smash and burn, so that his people could no longer, carry out the will of the Father of Lies (2 Kings 23:10).  The Father of Truth even smashed and burned, everything associated with the Spirits of Lies in Egypt, when the people of Israel fled there, to escape the Babylonians (Jeremiah 43:7-13).

A policy of smash and burn brings closure, because it prevents people from being enticed, to go back to the things, that ensnared them before (Exodus 34:13-16).  Smashing everything that is infected with evil, prevents other people from being infected with that evil (Leviticus 14:43-45).  Burning everything that is so infused with evil, so that it can serve no good purpose, prevents the evil it brings, from spreading (Leviticus 13:51-57).  King Josiah destroyed everything, in a "bone fire", to bring closure, to the shameful deeds of the people of Israel, in turning against the Father of Truth (2 Kings 23:16-20).  So the Father of Truth smashed and burned Sodom and Gomorrah, as everlasting warning to people, to no longer live like they were married in Sodom, so there could be closure (Jude 1:7).

So this smash and burn policy came from the Father of Truth.  This smash and burn policy is necessary to put your past behind you, because it separates you from everything, that dragged you into your past behavior.  This smash and burn policy brings closure, because it removes every reminder of your past, so you can focus on building a better future.

The Father of Truth has placed the Spirit of Truth in the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him), so that they can carry out His policy of smash and burn (Ezekiel 11:18-20).  The Spirit of Truth writes this smash and burn policy, contained in the Law of Truth, on the hearts of the Children of Truth (Romans 8:3-5).  It is for this reason, that the Children of Truth in Ephesus, continued this policy of smash and burn, to put their past behind them, when they burned their scrolls of magic, that came from the Spirits of Lies, instead of selling them, to help the poor, or promote the spread of the Good News (Acts 19:13-20).

However, the white hot light of holiness, that comes upon people, when they are baptized in the Spirit of Truth, causes them to see, that more than just the things like idols, are from the Father of Lies, and those things, also need to be smashed and burned (Matthew 3:10-12).  They are repulsed by everything that is contrary to the Father of Truth, because they want to be holy (separated from everything that is from the Father of Lies), as He is holy (1 Peter 1:14-16).  They will smash and burn things, like their albums of secular music ("secular" literally means "of the world"), because those things glorify worldly values, that are not from the Father of Truth (1 John 2:15-17).  They smash and burn these things, so they can put their past behind them forever, and experience the closure, that only comes from being like the Man of Truth (1 John 4:16-18).

In fact, this policy of smash and burn, will be enacted on a global scale, in the near future, during the reign of the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast), when the Father of Truth is going to smash and burn, large parts of the Earth (Revelation 8:7-12).

The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) will continue this policy, by smashing and burning everything from the Father of Lies (Matthew 13:39-42).  He will bring this policy of smash and burn, to bear upon the entire Earth when he returns, to put its past behind it (Luke 17:26-30).  He is even going to burn everyone, who has persecuted the Children of Truth, on that day (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9).

After reigning over the Earth for a thousand years, the Father of Truth will bring about the end of all trouble, when the last generation of those, who seek to carry out the will of the Father of Lies, are smashed and burned (Revelation 20:7-9).  

Finally, the policy of smash and burn, will be enacted for a final time, on a universal scale.  The Father of Truth is going to burn up the entire universe, so that a new universe can be formed, where only the things from Him exist (2 Peter 3:11-13).  It will be the end of all tears, for the Children of Truth, because He will have finally brought them, eternal closure (Revelation 21:1-4).

The Father of Truth is patiently waiting, until the Good News has been taken to every ethnic group on Earth, before He begins this future policy of smash and burn, during the time of the Man of Lies (Matthew 24:14-16).   He has the Man of Truth waiting, to begin his part of implementing His smash and burn policy, just like He waited for Noah, to finish the Ark, before smashing everything, with the flood (1 Peter 3:20-22).  He is waiting, to begin His policy of smash and burn, as long as possible, so that as many people as possible, can come into the House of Truth (2 Peter 3:7-10).  All who did not come into the House of Truth, will be burned, as part of the final phase, of His smash and burn policy (Revelation 20:10-15). 

However, you do not need to wait even one more day, to put your past behind you, and find closure.  You can implement His smash and burn policy today, concerning everything in your own life, that is contrary to the Father of Truth.  So do not stop, at just burning your Christmas tree, and smashing everything about Christmas, like the Mensch who killed Christmas.  Also, throw your pornographic material, your drug paraphernalia, your occultic items, your secular music, and everything that is contrary to the Father of Truth, into the fire as well.  Smash and burn all of it, so that you have separated yourself, from everything that will drag you back into that lifestyle!

However, if something is not from the Father of Lies, but is only hindering you from following the Man of Truth, then it would be alright to sell, or give those things away.  For example, a young man I knew named Tommy, gave away his massive video game system, because it was sucking up all of his time, and preventing him, from spending time with the Father of Truth.  You need to distinguish, between those things that are not alright for you to have in your life, and those things that are not alright for anyone to have in their life.  So if something is weighing you down, and keeping you from running after the Man of Truth, but is not evil in itself, then you should just lay it aside, instead of destroying it (Hebrews 12:1-2).

So do not just make an empty New Year resolution, but take action to put your past behind you, so you can focus on building a better future.

You can never really put the past behind you, until you come into the House of Truth, where you will be born for a second time, into the family of the Father of Truth (John 3:3-7).  Putting your past behind you, starts with putting the Man of Truth in front of you, so that you can follow him, to learn how to do things his way, because you believe, that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  You can come into the House of Truth, put your past behind you, and start focusing on building a better future, because of what the Man of Truth did on this Earth (2 Corinthians 5:15-17).  The Spirit of Truth is given to everyone, who comes into the House of Truth, so they can smash and burn everything, that the Father of Lies has ensnared them with, before they were born into the family of the Father of Truth (Ephesians 3:14-16).  When you come into the House of Truth, you can renew your mind with the Word of Truth, so you can escape those patterns of behavior, that have enslave you in the past (Ephesians 4:22-24).  You put your past behind you, when you come into the House of Truth, by living differently than you did in the past (Colossians 3:6-10).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Satan Clause

What should the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) tell their children about Santa Claus?

The Children of Truth strive to teach their children to do what is right by obeying the Ten Commandments, to the best of their own understanding of the Ten Commandments.  They teach their children to treat other people with respect, starting by their children respecting and obeying them (Exodus 20:12).  They  teach their to not do things to hurt other people, like murdering them or committing adultery with the spouse of other people (Exodus 20:13-14).  They teach their children to avoid doing dishonest things, like stealing or telling lies about other people (Exodus 20:15-16).  They teach their children to not desire to have what belongs to other people, so that their children will not be selfish (Exodus 20:17).

They use the Ten Commandments to teach their children to respect the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) by never worshiping other gods or setting up idols in their home (Exodus 20:3-4).  They teach their children to never take His name in vain (Exodus 20:7).

The main area of confusion and disagreement about the Ten Commandments, among the Children of Truth, is about keeping the Sabbath (Exodus 20:8).  Some of the Children of Truth, do not even know that they need to give the Father of Truth one day a week, because of verses in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) that have been taken out of context.  Others are giving the Father of Truth the wrong day of the week, because they do not know who changed the Sabbath.  Yet others are giving the Father of Truth the right day of the week, but still do not know whose Sabbath they are keeping, because they are not keeping the Sabbath in the way that the Father in Truth intended.  They have never learned how to avoid being bored on the Sabbath.

In order to weave the truth found in the Ten Commandments into the fabric of the being of their children, they go beyond just their own homes and their own abilities.  They congregate with other Children of Truth, where their children get further taught about the Father of Truth, along with their peers, from birth until they are fully grown.  Some of them send their children to private schools, so their children will be further taught about how to show love to the Father of Truth and other people, by only doing what is honest and right.  They send their children to things like vacation bible school and church camp in the summer, because they want their children to learn how to avoid everything that is dishonest.

Yet, they undermine all of these efforts, by purposely lying to their own children, year after year.  They perpetrate a fraud upon their own children, called "Santa Claus".  They justify lying to their children, teaching their children to be coveting after stuff, teaching their children to seek out someone other than the Father of Truth for their needs, erecting something similar to an idol in their homes, and observing all kinds of customs, that they know came from idol worship, as all being part of celebrating the birthday of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).  They act like, there is a Satan Clause in the Ten Commandments, that allows people every year to break some of those commandments, in order to celebrate the birth of the Messiah of Israel.  When it comes to Christmas, and especially Santa Claus, they want to invoke, the Satan Clause.

The Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) is the source of every lie (John 8:44). The Children of Truth should be like the Man of Truth, who had nothing that belonged to the Father of Lies in his life (John 14:30).  The Father of Lies is the god of those who have not come into the House of Truth (2 Corinthians 4:4).  They should make no room in their lives, for anything that is from the Father of Lies (Ephesians 4:27).  Everything about Santa Claus, his deceitful kindly demeanor and looks, his arousal of selfishness in children to covet after things, and the prideful bragging of children about what Santa Claus brought them for Christmas, is not from the Father of Truth (1 John 2:16)!

Yet, the Children of Truth invoke the Satan Clause, to make room for Santa Claus in the lives of their children.  The Satan Clause robs them of credibility with their children, because their children eventually come to know the truth about Santa Claus, and realize that their parents have been telling an elaborate lie to them, for their entire life.  This creates distrust and disrespect for their parents.  After all, if their parents lied to them about Santa Claus, then what else have their parents been lying to them about?

So then when their parents tell them the truth about the Man of Truth, they do not trust them about him either.  There is always the thought, that their parents may be perpetrating another fraud upon them, in the back of their minds.  They are now burdened, with scrutinizing everything that their parents tell them, because their parents might be lying to them.  Their parents have shattered their trust, by invoking the Satan Clause.

So it is extremely important, for the Children of Truth to never shatter the trust of their children, by invoking the Satan Clause.  Their children can be diverted, from following the Father of Truth with their whole hearts, when their parents invoke the Satan Clause.  After all, if it is okay to invoke the Satan Clause, to break the Ten Commandments for Christmas, then why not break the Ten Commandments at other times, for other reasons, to get what they want?

Also, it can be life and death for children to believe their parents at times.  For example, when the doctors gave me the "your daughter is not going to make it, go ahead an make funeral arrangements" speech for the second time, I did not go along with their diagnosis, but instead told her what the Father of Truth said about her condition.

I told my daughter about the promises of the Man of Truth to heal her, and that she would get well, because I was laying my hands upon her, as he commanded.  Since I had always told her the truth about everything, she believed what I told her, and had faith in the promises in the Book of Truth (The Bible), that I told her about.  Then she recovered, from what medical science had said was unrecoverable.  There was no doubt in her mind, that she could believe every word I spoke to her, because I had never invoked the Satan Clause, to tell her lies about Santa Claus.

(Of course, I had to first convince her to even want to get well, because I had also told her the truth about what happens to the Children of Truth when they die, and she knew that the Children of Truth were literally better off dead.  So I told my daughter, that she needed to stay on Earth to help other people come into the House of Truth, because that is all that really matters.)

So the Children of Truth should tell their children the truth about Santa Claus.  This starts with knowing the truth about Santa Claus themselves.

The best place to begin is by examining the characteristics of Santa Claus that make children flock to him in the first place.

They are told that Santa Claus is all knowing.  They are told that he knows when they are sleeping, and he knows when they are awake.  They are told that he knows who is naughty, and he knows who is nice.  They are told that he knows when they are bad, and he knows when they are good.

They are told that Santa Claus is the source of all good things.  They are told that they need to seek out Santa Claus and bring their petitions to him.  They are told that he is the source of every good gift.

They are told that blessing comes from being written on the list of Santa Claus.  They are told that Santa Claus keeps a list of who is going to be blessed, and whoever is not on that list, will not experience the blessing that comes from him.

In short, they are taught to treat Santa Claus in the manner that only the Father of Truth should be treated.  Santa Claus is counterfeit for the Father of Truth in every one of these characteristics, and serves as the tool of the Father of Lies, to keep people from seeking out the Father of Truth.

The Father of Truth is the one who is really all knowing (Psalm 139:1-16).  The Father of Truth determines, whether everything that their children have been doing, is good or bad (Romans 2:16).  Their children are supposed to seek out the Father of Truth, and bring their petitions to Him (1 John 5:14-15).  The Father of Truth is the true source of every good gift (James 1:17).  The Father of Truth is keeping a list of who is going to be blessed, and whoever is not on that list, will not experience the blessing that comes from Him (Revelation 21:23-27).

Some might say that Santa Claus is just a flesh and blood representation of the Father of Truth.  That would make Santa Claus to be a counterfeit of the Man of Truth, because the Man of Truth is the only way for people to come to understand what the Father of Truth is like (John 14:6-9).  The Man of Truth came from a lot further than the North Pole to show people what the Father of Truth is like (Philippians 2:6-7).   He came as the only flesh and blood representation of the Father of Truth (Colossians 1:12-15).

However, when looking even deeper into Santa Claus, it becomes apparent that Santa Claus is something much different than a flesh and blood representation of the Man of Truth.  This deeper examination begins with examining his helpers - the elves.

The word "elf" comes from a common German word (the root language that German, Norse, English, Gaelic, and other related languages came from), the language that was spoken by the Galatians and Phrygians, for a demon.  Elves were gods in ancient Norse literature, and brutal monsters in ancient German literature. In ancient English literature, they were invisible beings that caused madness and internal pain to people.  They were also associated in all ancient sources, with seducing people, usually men by female elves, into sexual sin.  In some of these languages, a witch was someone that consorted with elves, and in Scotland, as late as 1727, people were prosecuted as being witches, for consorting with elves, because elves were considered to be the helpers of the Father of Lies.  The influence of elves on the people, who came from the Galatians and Phrygians, who feared and worshiped elves, was wide spread as testified by the places whose name came came from the same root word as elf.  The places were given their names, because those places were where elves were thought to live.  These include well known places like the Elbe River and the Alps.

Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) cause people to go into madness (Matthew 17:15-18).  Spirits of Lies can cause internal pain (Luke 8:2).  It was the ancient Phrygians and Galatians, who called Spirits of Lies "elves", that Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) brought the Good News to on his second mission trip (Acts 16:3-6).  He also went to them on his third mission trip (Acts 18:18-23).  Before the Good News was brought to the Phrygians and Galatians, they made sacrifices to Spirits of Lies because they feared and worshiped them (1 Corinthians 10:20).  These are the very same seducing spirits that Paul the Jew warned against (1 Timothy 4:1).  These Spirits of Lies not only seduced them into idol worship, but also into committing sexual sin, similar to what Jezebel did in the ten tribe kingdom of Israel (Revelation 2:20).

So the helpers of Santa Claus are actually Spirits of Lies.  This is even easier to understand when some of his other, but lesser known in America, helpers like Krampus are considered.

In Germany, Austria, and nearby countries, Santa Claus was said to be accompanied by his special helper named Krampus.  While Santa Claus would give out toys to good children, Krampus would punish bad children.  These punishments varied from beating the children to eating the children to putting them in a magical sack and hauling them off to Hell.  Krampus had basically the same appearance as the Horned God, who was worshiped and feared by the ancient Galatians and Phrygians.  Basically, Krampus looked a man with goat hooves for feet and a goat head.  Krampus was also covered in long, shaggy, goat hair.

The people of Israel also sacrificed to Spirits of Lies before they began following the Father of Truth in the wilderness (Leviticus 17:7).  A Spirit of Lies was called a "saiyr" (literally "hairy like a goat") in Hebrew, because they looked like men with a goat head, goat feet and covered in long, shaggy, goat hair.  This is where the Greek word "satyr" comes from, which is a goat-man similar to Krampus.

Since the Spirits of Lies are the helpers of Santa Claus, then Santa Claus is the head of the Spirits of Lies.  Like the Spirits of Lies, Santa Claus was originally pictured as being covered in coats made of long, shaggy animal hair, until Americans, adopted the red and white colors of Sinterklaas.  Santa Claus was not only pictured wearing these coats of long, shaggy, animal hair in the cold northern climates during the winter, but also in warm southern climates, even in those areas that were experiencing summer, because they were south of the equator.  Santa Claus has a long white flowing beard like Odin (called "Wodan" by the Germanic tribes).  Odin is what the Norse called the head of the Spirits of Lies.  Santa Claus traded in the flying horse of Odin used on his gift giving spree for a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer.  In America, Santa Claus wears a Phrygian cap.  The Phrygians got their cap from the priests of Mithra, who got the cap from the priests of Babylon, where the worship of the Spirits of Lies began.  In other places, Santa Claus wears a Bishop miter, the same hat that a bishop in the False Church of Rome wears.  The Bishop miter is fashioned after the miter of the priest of Dagon.  Their miter looked like a fish head with the mouth opening towards the top, because Dagon was supposed to be half man and half fish.

Dagon is what the Philistines called the head of the Spirits of Lies (1 Samuel 5:3-5).  The Father of Lies is the head of all of the Spirits of Lies (Mark 3:22-23).

As if it was not enough that the helpers of Santa Claus are the Spirits of Lies, and the clothing of Santa Claus are inspired by the Father of Lies, but there is still yet more clues about who Santa Claus really represents.  His familiar tagline, "Ho Ho Ho", comes from medieval morality plays, where it was called the Devil's Bluster.  It was called this, because a loud and ominous, "Ho Ho Ho", was sounded out to announce the arrival of the Father of Lies.  Even his entry through chimneys into lit fireplaces, was done to picture the Father of Lies supposed ability to enter into the flames of Hell, and remain there unharmed.  The fact is, that Santa Claus was crafted to be a flesh and blood representation of the Father of Lies!

The facts from history backing up this assertion, are not just some obscure facts dug up from questionable sources, by Christmas haters.  These facts are so well documented, that Satanists acknowledge that Santa Claus is a representation of the Father of Lies, and laugh at the Children of Truth, for including their master, the Father of Lies, in such a positive light, in their attempts to celebrate the birth of the Man of Truth!

Just as Antiochus Epiphanes, who foreshadowed the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast), gained favor by giving out gifts of worldly things, so also Santa Claus is favored for giving out gifts of worldly things (Daniel 11:21-24).  Just as the Man of Lies will be loved for giving out gifts of worldly things, so also is Santa Claus is beloved for giving out gifts of worldly things (Daniel 11:36-39).  Just as the Father of Lies will go to the flames of Hell, and then come out for a short while, in order to deceive people, so also Santa Claus goes into the flames of the fire place, and comes out unharmed, in order to deceive people (Revelation 20:1-3).

Just as the Father of Lies can transform himself to look like an Angel of Truth, so also has Santa Claus been transformed to look like a Child of Truth (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).

This is evident from the history of Santa Claus.  The modern American version of Santa Claus comes from merging three different European characters into one.

One of them was Father Christmas from Britain, and went by similar names in other countries. He was originally a muscular young man, who wore a long green coat, and a wreath of holly as a crown.  Father Christmas originally encouraged adults to invoke the Satan Clause, so they could gluttonize, get drunk, and engage in sexual sin, to celebrate the birth of the Man of Truth.  He was first written about in a poem, sometime around 1450 AD.  There is little doubt, that he was a renamed character, that had been used to celebrate the winter solstice, from the religion of the Druids.  He was a carry over from the nature worship, that was practiced in most of the British Isles, before Celtic Christianity was introduced there, in its original form.  In plays about Father Christmas, he was often costumed as Beelzebub.  Father Christmas did not begin to change into a jolly giver of toys to children, until another poet cast him in this light, in 1840 AD.

The second one is Sinterklaas from Holland.  The name "Santa Claus" is an Americanization of "Sinterklaas".  Sinterklaas means "Saint Claus", just like "Santa Claus".  Sinterklaas came to America from Holland, and was prominent in the New York City area, that was called "New Holland", until the Dutch gave it to England.  Sinterklaas was basically a rebranded version of the German god "Wodan", who the Norse called Odin.  Wodan was also said to have helpers, who listen to determine which children were naughty and nice, and flew in from the north to leave gifts under a tree, on December 25th. (This had been the date of the Winter Solstice by the time the Julian calendar was put into use.  The winter solstice was corrected back to December 22, when the Gregorian calendar was implemented to correct the Julian error, that caused a three day shift every 400 years.)  Sinterklaas did similar things, but originally had a demon slave, similar to Krampus, that helped him in various ways, including punishing bad children.  After the Spanish conquered Holland for a short while, Sinterklaas started coming from Spain in a ship, instead of from the north on a horse, and his demon slave changed into his Moorish servant, "Black Pete" ("Zwarte Piet" in Dutch).  The appearance of Sinterklaas became similar to that of the modern American "Santa Claus".  He has a long white flowing beard, like that of Wodan, and is dressed in red robe, along with other red and white clothing, but he wears a red Bishop miter, instead of a Phrygian cap.  His name "Sinterklaas" is basically the Dutch equivalent of "Saint Nicholas", and makes his appearance on December 6th, which is known as Saint Nicholas Day, in Holland and other places.

The third one is Nicholas of Myra, who died on December 6th, 343 AD and later dubbed "Saint Nicholas" by the False Church of Rome.  Nicholas of Myra was a Greek Bishop in Myra, Lycia - which is presently called Demre, Turkey.  Nicholas of Myra was born to wealthy parents and known for his secret acts of generosity.  For example, he threw three sacks of gold through the window of a poor man, so his daughters would have a dowry, which was required to get married.  Without his generosity, the daughters of the poor man would have remained unmarried, and been forced into prostitution, or at least, thought to be prostitutes by their neighbors.  He was also known to drop gifts into the shoes of poor children at night, so he is possibly the source of the tradition of hanging up stockings, so that the stockings can be stuffed with small gifts for Christmas.  It is for this reason that December 6th, Saint Nicholas Day, was celebrated with the well off giving gifts to the poor.  It was also on December 6th, that gifts were bestowed upon Children.  (The gift giving was moved to December 25th much later to coincide with the gift giving of Wodan from ancient times.  In some places, like Holland it is still done on December 6th.)  Other than this tradition of gift giving, Nicholas of Myra has very little resemblance to Santa Claus.  In the earliest pictures and descriptions of Nicholas of Myra, he is thin, tan man, with a short scruffy beard, who was usually dressed in the brown garments common to the time and place where he lived.  He did not wear a hat of any kind, and the only thing that stood out about his clothing was the modest white stole with a brown cross on each side of his chest that marked his position as a bishop.  (Although Nicholas of Myra never married, many bishops were married at this time.  The term "bishop" was closer in meaning at this time to what the word meant in the Renewed Covenant than what the False Church of Rome made it to mean later.)  He was present at the council of Nicaea in 325 AD, where he struck Arias on the face for what he perceived to be his dishonest dealings concerning the Book of Truth, and was imprisoned for doing so.  So any claim by religious professionals, that Nicholas of Myra is the inspiration for parents deceiving their own children with Santa Claus, is contrary to the very character of Nicholas of Myra.  This is an example of religious professionals invoking the Satan Clause.

So if Nicholas of Myra is not the inspiration for Santa Claus, then who is?  This is another Nicholas, who was admired by the False Church of Rome in secret, for founding much of its doctrine, that it kept hidden from the public.  These hidden writings are part of what some people claim, are The Missing Books of the Bible.  This idea of hidden knowledge, that is only revealed to certain enlightened individuals, but not to the general public, goes back to mystery religions, that came from Babylon.  Those who claimed to have additional hidden knowledge, to what is revealed in the Renewed Covenant, were called Gnostics (literally, "those who know").  The earliest known Gnostics were the Nicolaitanes.  The Nicolaitanes ["Nikolaiton" in Koine Greek] were the name of those who followed Nicholas ["Nikolaon" in Koine Greek].  Their name literally meant, "victorious over the people". ["Niko" means "victorious" and "laiton" means "people" and is where the word "laity" comes from.]  This Nicholas taught that there were two classes of people among the Children of Truth.  The religious professionals, who were enlightened by hidden knowledge, not found in the Renewed Covenant, and the laity, the people did not know this hidden knowledge.  So the religious professionals were to rule over the laity by keeping the knowledge hidden from the laity.

The Nicolaitanes are said to have claimed that they got their name from Nicolas of Antioch, who was one of the seven deacons appointed to distribute food in Jerusalem (Acts 6:1-6).  While this is repeated by Epiphanius of Salamis, who lived around the same time as Nicolas of Myra (340 AD) , and other later writers, it is not what was reported by earlier writers, like Clement of Alexandria, who lived about 100 years (175 AD) after Nicolas of Antioch.  Clement of Alexandria reports that Nicolas of Antioch lived a chaste life, and died faithful to the cause of the Man of Truth.  Dorotheus of Tyre (250 AD) reports that the Nicolaitanes were started by another Nicholas, who came from Samaria, and was taught this doctrine, by Simon the Sorcerer of Samaria.

The Samaritans were descendants of Gentiles that the king of Assyria had placed in the land of the ten tribe kingdom of Israel in the place of the Israelites (2 Kings 17:21-24).  The Samaritans adopted the worship of the Father of Truth but also worshiped the old gods that they had worshiped in the lands that they had came from, especially the idols of Babylon (2 Kings 17:25-33).  Later King Josiah destroyed all of the idols out of the land of the Samaritans (2 Kings 23:15-20).  So the Samaritans had cease to worship idols, but they continued to not worship the Father of Truth in the way He desired, because they ignorantly continued to mix the customs of idolatry, with the traditions taught to them by the corrupt priests of Israel (John 4:20-22).  Simon the Sorcerer was one of these Samaritans, and could have taught Nicolas of Samaria this doctrine, if he did not repent after being rebuked by Peter the Jew (Sh'mon aka Simon aka Simeon aka Cephas aka The Apostle Peter) (Acts 8:9-24).

Then the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes could be summarized as mixing the worship of the Father of Truth, through the Man of Truth, with the customs of idol worship, that people had before the Good News was preached to them, in a religion where religious professionals, who possess hidden knowledge, that is not found in the pages of the Renewed Covenant, rule over everyone else.  This is the doctrine of the False Church of Rome in a nutshell.

The Satan Clause, that allows and encourages parents to perpetrate a fraud upon their own children, contrary to the Ten Commandments, that is not found in the pages of the Book of Truth.  It is part of the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes that is personified by Santa Claus.

The Man of Truth told the Children of Truth, that they were not to rule over each other, like the Gentiles did (Mark 10:42-44).  He said that, they were all children of the same Father, and that he was their only master (Matthew 23:8-11).  He hates the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, that creates the Satan Clause, to allow people to include practices of idol worship, like those that gave rise to Father Christmas and Sinterklaas, or even customs that came from the worship of a possible Child of Truth, named Nicholas of Myra (Revelation 2:6).  He hates the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, as much as he hates the doctrine of Balaam, which is teaching the Children of Truth to follow the practices of idol worship, and to commit sexual sin (Revelation 2:14-15).  The Man of Truth commands the Children of Truth to repent of invoking the Satan Clause, to carry out these practices, so that he will not have to come and fight against them (Revelation 2:16)!

The Father of Truth knows, that the Children of Truth may have carried out the idolatrous practices of Santa Claus, out of ignorance, but now He commands them to repent (Acts 17:29-31).  The Man of Truth is giving them space to repent, but he will punish them, if they do not use this period of grace to repent, even though they may have done many other good deeds (Revelation 2:19-22).

The truth about Santa Claus should be obvious, by just examining two facts, and asking yourself one question.  The Father of Truth is the source of all truth (Deuteronomy 32:4).  The Father of Lies is the source of all lies.  So who does Santa Claus really represent?

So the Children of Truth should tell their children, that Santa Claus is a representation of the Father of Lies, and that they should have nothing to do with Santa Claus.  In fact, the Children of Truth should be like the Mensch who killed Christmas, and tell their children to have nothing to do with Christmas.  Their children would be better off learning that resistance is essential, by celebrating Chanukah!  This is what the Man of Truth celebrated (John 10:21-23).

Of course, it really does not matter what you celebrate, or how you celebrate it, until you come into the House of Truth.  You come into the House of Truth, by making the Man of Truth the master of every area of your life, because you believe that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  When you come into the House of Truth, then his Father becomes your father as well, and you can learn to be like the Man of Truth (1 John 3:1-3).  After you come into the House of Truth,  then you can start walking in truth, to please the Father of Truth, instead of invoking the Satan Clause (2 John 1:4).

Come into the House of Truth!

Resistance Is Essential

How can the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) prevent the world from squeezing them into its mold?

In "Star Trek" universe, there is an alien race called "The Borg", who are cybernetic organisms.  The Borg are not a single species, but rather a collection of diverse species, who have been assimilated into the Borg.  The Borg assimilate other species, by shooting them with nanoprobes.  The nanoprobes begin changing the individuals from the inside, who have been shot, to conform to the needs of the Borg collective.  The individuals change in appearance to look like Borgs.  Once the individuals that are assimilated into the Borg, they lose all ability to think for themselves.  People, who are assimilated into the Borg, are no longer human.  Once they have been fully assimilated, there is no returning them to their former state, and they must be destroyed.

When the Borg attack a species to assimilate it, they start off by verbally intimating the species, by telling them, "Resistance is futile.  You will be assimilated."  However, the Federation decided that resistance was essential, and they would not be assimilated.  So they fought back, and the Borg were eventually defeated.

The ideas of the Borg, like most things, are really a conglomeration of ideas that preceded them. 

The form of the Borg is very similar to that of Lord Dredd, and the bio-dredds, that he creates, by assimilating humans into his culture.  While this predated the first appearance of the Borg on Star Trek, The Next Generation, by a year, the whole concept of one culture absorbing other cultures into its culture, proceeded both Captain Power, and Star Trek, by more than two thousand years. 

Like most of the story lines in science fiction, super hero stories, fantasy, and most other genres of fiction, their original inspiration was actual people, and events in history.  There is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

The real inspiration for the Borg is the Greek Empire.  After Alexander the Great died, the Greek Empire was split into four smaller, and competing Greek empires.  The Greeks began an assimilation campaign across the four Greek Empires.  They took measures to make everyone wear Greek clothes, speak Greek, eat Greek food, attend Greek plays, participate in Greek sports, study Greek history, live in Greek houses, adopt Greek customs, go by Greek names, and the like.  This assimilation of other cultures into Greek culture was known as "Hellenization".  As far as they were concerned, there were only two kinds of people in their empires: Those who were Greek and those who needed to become Greek.

The largest of these smaller Greek Empires was known as the Seleucid Empire. While the Greeks had been on their assimilation campaign, the one area where people were encouraged, but not forced to assimilate, was their religious practices.  This all changed for the Jews, after Antiochus Epiphanes, became the emperor of the Seleucid Empire.

Many of the Jews had voluntarily became Hellenized, and even went so far as go through a painful process to remove their marks of circumcision, and disowned the entire Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament).  The Hellenized Jews bribed Antiochus to appoint them to be the high priests, and subsequently killed each other to maintain, or regain their position.   These Hellenized Jews began to fight with the Jews, who still obeyed the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law), until the entire region of Judea was in a civil war.    Finally, Antiochus attacked Jerusalem, took the women and children captive, and pillaged the Temple, to ensure that his final choice for high priest, was who held the office.

When Antiochus Epiphanes saw that there were plenty of Jews, who wanted to be completely assimilated in Greek culture, including Greek religion, then he began taking steps to force the rest of the Jews, to completely assimilate into Greek culture, by taking steps to destroy their obedience to the Law of Truth.  He made possessing the Law of Truth a death penalty crime, and destroyed all of the copies of it that he could find.  He banned wearing tzitzits (fringes) on the corners of their garments, making the sacrifices required in the Law of Truth, resting on the Sabbath, and keeping the Feasts of Truth.  Circumcision was outlawed, and mothers, who circumcised their infant sons, were killed, along with their entire families.  Antiochus was certain, that he could completely assimilate the Jews, who obeyed the Law of Truth, because he had the mightiest army in the world, and the Jews, who obeyed the Law of Truth, were a minority, even among the Jews.  He let these Jews know, that resistance was futile, and they would be assimilated.

The Jews, who observed the Law of Truth, decided, that resistance was essential, and they would not be assimilated.  So they began to fight back in various ways.

They would meet to study the Law of Truth in groups, with one or two standing watch.  Whenever Greek soldiers would approach their location, the guards would tell the others, and then go out to talk to the Greek soldiers to buy time.  The rest of them would quickly hide their scrolls, and then place piles of money in front of themselves, that they used for gambling, by spinning a four sided top, called a dreidel.  When the Greek soldiers arrived, they would find that the Jews were only gambling, and not reading the Law of Truth, so they would leave them alone.  So these Jews preserved the Original Covenant, because the Book of Truth is The Indestructible Book.

They would make small handkerchief sized tallits (garments with tzitzits on their four corners), and wear them underneath their Greek clothing.  This practice continued for centuries, whenever Jews needed to hide their tzitzits.  These were the handkerchiefs, among the cloaks, aprons, and handkerchiefs, that Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) made.

They would meet in secret, often in caves, on the Sabbath, and keep the Feasts of Truth, in secret.  They would have the priests make sacrifices, in hidden locations, when they could no longer make them in the Temple.  They would go on long trips, after the birth of their sons, then circumcise them out in the wilderness, and not return, until well after their sons had healed up from circumcision.  They would even fashion coverings from sheep bladders, to slip over the circumcision, so that their infants appeared to be uncircumcised, upon casual observation.

Then Antiochus Epiphanes began taking things further, in his efforts to assimilate the Jews, who were obeying the Law of Truth, in stealth mode.  He set up altars to Greek gods everywhere, and sacrificed animals that the Law of Truth said were unclean, like pigs, on them.  Then he set a giant statue of Zeus, but with his own face on it, in the Temple, and had three pigs, and a dog, sacrificed on the brazen altar of the Temple.  Finally, he began a campaign, to force all Jews to make sacrifices to Greek gods, or die.  Once again, he was telling them, that resistance was futile, and they would be assimilated.

Eventually, the Jews of Modi'in were gathered, and each one was told to make a sacrifice to the Greek gods, but Mattathias the Priest refused to do so.  When a Hellenized Jew stepped up to do so on his behalf, Mattathias grabbed a sword, and killed him.  This began a revolt against the Greeks, and the Hellenized Jews, by the Jews, who clung to obeying the Law of Truth.  They had made the decision, that resistance was essential, and they would not be assimilated.

Mattathias and his sons headed to the hills, to start waging guerrilla warfare.  Mattathias and his sons became known as the Maccabees, which means hammers, because the nickname of his son Judas (Judah aka Yahudah) was "the Hammer".  This revolt went on for over three years, where these minority among the Jews, took on the mightiest army on Earth.  As they began to win battles, many of the Hellenized Jews repented of their rejection of the Law of Truth, and joined the Maccabees.  Eventually, the Maccabees so hammered the Greek army, that they regained control of Jerusalem.  They then rededicated the Temple to the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), after the eight day period, that it took them to cleanse the Temple, from the desecration of abomination, committed by Antiochus Epiphanes.  Antiochus Epiphanes gathered an even larger army to crush the rebellion, but died, before he could attack the Maccabees.  His successor made peace with the Maccabees, and granted them complete religious freedom.  They had not been assimilated, because they had understood, that resistance was essential.

This resistance had not been cheap or easy.  In the revolt, that lead to regaining their religious freedom, and the subsequent wars to regain territory, where Jews were being killed by their Gentile neighbors, Mattathias, and three of his five sons, were killed.  Many of the Maccabees, meaning those who joined Mattathias and his sons, died as well.  The most famous was a woman, her seven sons, and their teacher, who became known as the martyrs of the Maccabees.  Yet the Maccabees, still managed to beat the greatest army on earth, because they believed that resistance was essential, and they were not going to be assimilated.

Every year, the commemoration of their dedicating the Temple is celebrated, at Chanukah (Hanukkah).  This is the Feast of Dedication that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) celebrated in the winter at Jerusalem (John 10:22-23). (Chanukah means "dedication".)  Chanukah is also called the Festival of Lights, because of the lighting of nine branch candelabra (eight lower candles plus one higher candle for lighting the others) called a Chanukiah.

The book of Maccabees is the history of the revolt, that lead to the celebration of Chanukah.  It is a book of secular history, and not one of the missing books of the Bible, as some people suppose it to be.  It tells of how the Feast of Chanukah lasts for eight days, because that is how long it took to clean up the Temple, from the desecration of Antioch Epiphanes.  There is no mention of the oil lasting for eight days, and this story does not appear anywhere in Jewish literature, until about five hundred years after the Temple was rededicated.  The so-called "miracle of the oil", is just another example of Rabbinic Distort.  The real miracle is, that Maccabees resisted against the greatest army on Earth, and against all odds, prevented the Jewish people, from being completely assimilated into the Greek culture.

Why were the Maccabees so certain, that resistance was essential, and they would not be assimilated?

The book of Daniel told the Chanukah story, almost three hundred years before Antiochus Epiphanes rose to power, and answers that question.

After four emperors ruled the Persian Empire, then Alexander the Great overran the Persian Empire, to create the Greek Empire (Daniel 11:1-3).  Not long after Alexander the Great created the Greek Empire, he died, his heirs were killed, and the Greek Empire split into four smaller empires, each ruled by one on his generals (Daniel 11:4).  Then two of the those empires, the Ptolemaic Empire, whose capital was south of Jerusalem and the Seleucid Empire, whose capital was north of Jerusalem, fought back and forth to control the Promised Land for generations, with the Ptolemaic Empire maintaining control of the Promised Land (Daniel 11:5-12).  Then an emperor of the Seleucid Empire, Seleucus Philopater, managed to take the Promised Land from the Ptolemaic Empire, and utterly destroyed much of the Promised Land, but greatly beautified the Temple with many gifts, until he was assassinated on his way home, from Jerusalem, by Heliodorus (Daniel 11:13-19).  Heliodorus, took the throne, and sought to raise taxes considerably, to increase the splendor of the capital, but died suddenly, without violence (Daniel 11:20).

Then the younger brother of Seleucus Philopater, Antiochus Epiphanes, took the throne by flattery, bribes, and deceit, while arranging the assassination of Onias the High Priest, who resisted assimilation, where it contracted the Law of Truth (Daniel 11:21-24).  Then Antiochus Epiphanes went to war with the Ptolemaic Empire, and overthrew most of it, by bribing the officials of Ptolemy the Sixth, the emperor of the Ptolemaic Empire (Daniel 11:25-26).  Then Antiochus Epiphanes and Ptolemy the Sixth made a treaty, but each intended to break the treaty, as soon as it was advantageous to do so (Daniel 11:27).  When Antiochus Epiphanes returned through Judea, he found it in a civil war, between those Jews who wanted total assimilation into Greek culture, and those Jew who wanted to obey the Law of Truth, which he thought was a revolt against his rule, so he slaughtered many of the Jews, and appointed Menelaus, who wanted the Jews to totally assimilate into Greek culture, to be the high priest, before returning to his capital (Daniel 11:28).  Then Antiochus Epiphanes attacked the Ptolemaic Empire again, but lost all control of it (Daniel 11:29).

Ptolemy the Sixth had persuaded the Romans to help him fight Antiochus Epiphanes, which greatly angered him, so Antiochus Epiphanes took out his anger upon those Jews, who obeyed the Law of Truth, but showed favor to those Jews, who sought to totally assimilate into Greek culture (Daniel 11:30).  Antiochus Epiphanes then desecrated the Temple, offering three pigs and a dog on the Holy Altar, took away the daily sacrifice, and caused it to be desolate of all who obeyed the Law of Truth, when he set up an image of Zeus with his own face in it (Daniel 11:31).  The majority of Jews were willing to totally assimilate into Greek culture to gain his favor, but the Maccabees waged a war against Antiochus Epiphanes, because they knew the Father of Truth (Daniel 11:32).  Se even though Antiochus Epiphanes continued to oppress those who obeyed the Law of Truth, and sought to destroy the Law of Truth completely, the Maccabees eventually prevailed, even though it was very costly, and rededicated the Temple, as a place, where those who obeyed the Law of Truth, could meet in, to worship the Father of Truth, and were given an autonomous kingdom (Daniel 11:33-35).

So the lesson from the Chanukah story, is that the certainty, that resistance is essential, and the Children of Truth will not be assimilated, comes from knowing the Father of Truth.

For you see, the Children of Truth are still commanded this day, to not be squeezed into the mode of the world around them, but to resist the world with the Word of Truth, so that they will not be assimilated (Romans 12:2).  It is by considering what the the Man of Truth did on this Earth, that gives them the strength, to resist doing what the world around them does, in order to obey the Father of Truth (Hebrews 12:1-3).  They can resist the pressure of the world, to disobey the Law of Truth, even to the point of suffering, because they are the children of the Father of Truth (Hebrews 12:4-6).  They refuse to be assimilated, because they know that those who are assimilated, become the enemies of the Father of Truth, and He will destroy them, while giving strength to those, who refuse to be assimilated (James 4:4-6).  Therefore, they resist the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil), by submitting themselves to the Father of Truth, even though it will bring them sadness for a while, but eventually the Father of Lies will flee before them, and they will not be assimilated, rather will be given an everlasting kingdom  (James 4:7-10).  They are willing to resist to the point of death, like the Maccabees, because they are looking for the return of the Man of Truth, to rule this Earth (James 5:6-8).  They resist the Father of Lies, because they have confidence in what the Father of Truth has said, and know that their suffering for refusing to be assimilated, is making them to be more like the Man of Truth (1 Peter 5:8-10).  Their confidence that the Father of Lies will be defeated, causes them to overcome being assimilated, by resisting, even to the point of death, being squeezed into the mode of the world around them, through telling other people, about what the Man of Truth did on this Earth (Revelation 12:9-11).

The Children of Truth prevent the world from squeezing them into its mold, when they become like the Maccabees.  They start overcoming evil with good, when they decide, that resistance is essential, and they will not be assimilated.

Although the fight may be long, they will endure hardship from those around them, and persevere in resisting doing what the people around them are doing, because they believe that they will be rewarded, for obeying the Father of Truth (2 Timothy 2:3-5).  They not love the things of the world, that are contrary to the Law of Truth, because those things are from the Father of Lies, and those who are assimilated into the world will be destroyed, while those who obey the Father of Truth, will continue forever (1 John 2:15-17).

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because they know the Father of Truth who gave them the Law of Truth.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because they know that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because they believe the Book of Truth contains the Incorruptible Word.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because the Spirit of Truth is living in them, and even producing the sound of power.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because they are eating the breakfast of champions, that strengthens their resolve.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because they know that walking in truth in every area of life, is the only way to successfully resist being assimilated.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will refuse to exercise the nuclear option, when things get tough in their marriage.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will find the path of true love, even in the most difficult of marriages.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not become serial killers, through participating in abortion.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not be silent about laws, that let people live like they are married in Sodom.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not be persuaded to tolerate what the Father of Truth calls intolerable, by scripture that is taken out of context.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not go along with the lie, that every wicked thing that anyone does, is because, "My DNA made me do it".  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not pretend, that those who do these things, are anything other than sick and twisted.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not obey laws, that are contrary to the Law of Truth, but will be like the Maccabees, who recognized that there is a time for civil disobedience.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will start keeping the Feasts of Truth, that form the Greatest Play ever, so they can see things, in the same way as the Father of Truth.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will not let themselves be distracted, from keeping the weightier matters of the Law, by endless arguments, over how to keep the lessor matters of the Law.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will not get into pointless fights with each other, over the details of keeping the Feasts of Truth, because they understand, that they are playing with broken toys, until the Man of Truth returns to rule this Earth.   Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will not want anything to do with Halloween, because it encourages people to surrender to the monster within.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will have nothing to do with holidays like Ash Wednesday, that came from the Father of Lies.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will say "Happy Firstfruits", to each other, when they participate in the Feasts of Truth, instead of rehearsing the worship of a fertility goddess, named "Easter".  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will even find they themselves escaping the Christmas Trap.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential! 

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will start keeping the Sabbath, once they realized who changed the Sabbath.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will keep the Sabbath as the Father of Truth intended, so they do not end up being asked by Him, "Whose Sabbath are you keeping?".  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will find that they are never bored on the Sabbath, when they keep it in the way that He intended.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated until the end, will realize that bringing other people into the House of Truth, is all that really matters.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated until the end, will not be guilty of putting the cart before the horse.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated until the end, will understand that people are saved by faith, but grow by knowledge.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated until the end, will understand that there are two kinds of knowledge, and no one can get heart knowledge, until the Spirit of Truth opens their understanding.    Those who persist in resisting being assimilated until the end, have heeded the warning of the Man of Truth, of "People Get Ready!", by focusing on carrying out the Great Commission.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

The truth is that all people, have been infected with sin, like being shot with a nanoprobe of the Borg (Romans 5:12-14).  Sin will take over their lives from the inside, until they are fully assimilated (James 1:14-16).  Once they have been fully assimilated, then there is no hope of saving them, and they will have to be destroyed (Revelation 22:11-15).

The Good News is, that the Man of Truth made it possible, for people to come into the House of Truth, and have their sin removed (John 1:29).  People come into the House of Truth, when they surrender control of their lives to the Man of Truth, because they believe that the Father of Truth, raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  When people come into the House of Truth, is like joining the Maccabees, in not being assimilated, because they realize, that resistance is essential (1 John 1:6-9).

Come into the House of Truth!
