Christmas is a Witchcraft Ceremony — or, Artem-on is the Reas-on for the Seas-on

You probably don’t know it yet, but you have been duped into celebrating a pagan, Witchcraft ceremony, which binds you by spells into bondage to demons. That is, if you celebrate the Winter Solstice pagan ritual known as “Christmas”. Note this ceremony blasphemously uses (or abuses) the Blessed Name of Jesus Christ to masquerade as a “Christian” feast. This is typical of wicca cultism. They have a “Black Sabbath” and a “Black Mass” etc. etc., aping Christian practices. “Christmas” is one of these. Note its use of pagan rites like “greenery” (representing the spirits of the wood) and BLOOD-red (blood is particularly appreciated by wiccans) objects of various sorts. So next time you amble into your local mall you will be inundated with a flood of wiccan symbolism, red, green and flying sprites (Santas) and animals (wiccans just LOVE animals) swooping through the rafters.

Cutting down a tree and decking it with baubles is a pagan ceremony absolutely condemned by God in the Bible:

Jeremiah Chapter 10: “1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven [like the Winter Solstice of the sun on December 25]; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.”

The pity is it is pretty well known where this mumbo-jumbo comes from: it is the pagan feast of the Winter Solstice — sun-worship. In ancient Rome the sun-god was “born” on December 25, so when the pagan Roman Empire was “Christianized” it just changed the feast from the Birth of the sun-god to the Birth of the Son of God. This ignored the fact that the true Church of the first three centuries knew Jesus was actually born in late March or early April (depending on which local calendar they used). Now many still argue, as the Christianized Romans argued then, that “there’s no harm celebrating the festival, so long as you keep Jesus as the Reason for the Season” etc. etc. and similar verbal dribble. Well there IS A VERY GOOD REASON NOT TO CELEBRATE IT AT ALL, and that is because, as all witches know, to take part in a pagan ritual, with pagan ritual objects, subjects a person to evil spirits which are transmitted on and through those rituals. The only way to escape this demonic influence is to be thoroughly filled and sealed by the Holy Spirit of Jesus. That STOPS the demons from affecting you. But if you’re filled with the discerning Spirit of Jesus YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PAGAN DEMONIC SYMBOLS AND CEREMONIES, BECAUSE YOU DISCERN THOSE EVIL SPIRITS.

You might wonder why I put up on the headline “Artemon is the Reason for the Season” in obvious mockery of the perverted idea that “Jesus is the Reason for the Season”. That is because a nutcase heretic called ARTEMON WAS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON. He invented it. If you want to read the horrible and historical details you can download from the “Bible Resources” tab at the top of this page a PDF online booklet called “The Great Bible Text Fraud” which tells you how exactly Artemon did this. (The booklet also gives a lot of details about how the Bible was corrupted by heretics.) To put it simply — since the booklet is rather technical — there was a particularly vile little guru called Simon Magus in the days of the Apostles who was exposed as an imposter by Peter (see Acts chapter 8 in the New Testament for the facts). He taught the lying doctrine that Jesus was just an ordinary man, not God in human flesh, and that being an ordinary man he could not originally do miracles. However, so Simon Magus taught, one day, at Jesus’ baptism, the Spirit of Simon Magus, which was also the Spirit of the Sun-god, also called “the Christ”, came down into the ordinary man Jesus and turned him into a miracle-working super-man. This date, the date of Jesus’ baptism was believed to be the “Birth of the Sun-god” into the world, the time when he first appeared amongst men. In the pagan Roman East the date of the Birth of the Sun-god was 6th January. So Simon Magus’ followers began to believe that 6th January was the date of the “Birth of the Christ”, that is, of the Sun-god, as well as the date of the baptism of Jesus. Many in the East, like backslidden “Orthodox” Christians, still believe this today. Then later, so Simon Magus taught, just before Jesus was crucified, the Spirit of Simon Magus left him and went back to heaven, so allowing Jesus to die, as every normal man does. Well this very stupid doctrine was taught by Simon Magus first in Palestine and later in Rome, where it was picked up by a disciple of Simon Magus called Artemon. He was accepted as a true teacher by a group of Roman so-called Christians who had fallen into paganism, and who later were known as the Roman “Catholic” Cult. Now in Rome the Birthday of the Sun-god was December 25th, not the 6th of January (as it was in the East). So Artemon had to do some quick juggling with the dates. His solution was to make December 25th the date of the birth of the “mere man” Jesus (in the manger with the shepherds, animals etc.) and to keep the 6th January as the Birth of the Spirit of the Sun-god or of “the Christ” into the world. Now both sets of wiccans were happy: the easterners had their birthday of “Christ the sun-god” on January 6th and the western Romans had theirs on December 25th. The 12 days between December 25th and January 6th became the party-going “Twelve Days of Christ-mass”. Well that’s what you’re celebrating, folks — a total mess of Witchcraft garbage. ARTEM-ON IS TRULY THE REAS-ON FOR THE SEAS-ON.

Let me repeat what has been said in another post:

Satanism works by spells (magic words and formulas) and by ceremonies (magic acts). If a person participates in these he binds himself by evil forces. That means: just to take part in a Satanic ceremony is to bind your soul in bondage to demons.

A Holy-Ghost filled Christian, of course, would never take part in such a thing, or use magic words to achieve a stated purpose. So, Satan being aware of these facts he gets Christians to take part in his Satanic rituals by deception. One trick is to invite Christians to a festival or party which is actually a Satanic ritual-feast. That’s what the Apostle Paul said the Israelites did in their Desert Wanderings — they committed idolatry just by sitting down to the feast of Baal-Peor (a Satanic idol), and by getting up after the meal and playing “games” at the party.

Paul says this about it: 1 Corinthians 10 7 “Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Notice Paul calls these backslidden Israelites “idolaters” because they “sat down to eat” and “rose up to play”. Once the Israelites got into the “party-spirit” they started to get drunk and commit fornication with the sexy-dressed girls of the worshipers of Baal-Peor. Notice it was not necessary for them actually to worship the idol physically — they just “went to the party”. Well, yes. That’s exactly what Satan does now using the so-called “Christian” festivals which were created by the pagan Vatican cult known as the “Roman Catholic Church”. He gets Christians to come to the party at his Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Halloween festivals, which are all pagan Roman Satanic feasts dressed up with “Christian” names and titles. So in the Name of the Lord Jesus, keep away from them!

A Fishing Vision

If the Devil can’t get you one way, he’ll get you another. So watch out! If the Devil can’t get you to reject the ministry of God’s servant prophet, Bro. William Branham, as a heresy, a cult, he’ll get you to worship Bro. Branham as God. Either way he’s got you.

This is directed to those who believe the message preached by Bro. Branham. The danger in your case is the Devil will try to get you to worship the man. Remember Bro. Branham’s message “Bruised Serpent”? Bro. Branham found people going around saying he (Bro. Branham) was Jesus Christ or God. He hit that lying spirit as hard as he could. God showed him a vision of a serpent (= lying spirit) which Bro. Branham fatally wounded, “bruised”, BUT IT SLIPPED OFF INTO SOME WATER. Water, in God’s symbol, means people and multitudes. That lying “Deity” spirit (the teaching that Bro. Branham is literally God or Christ) sneaked off among the people, awaiting its final death. Obviously it didn’t go into the anti-Branham camp, it went into the Branham people. It’s HIDING there today, lurking amongst the people. That’s why you don’t find many people saying OPENLY Bro. Branham is God, but you find plenty of people following the teaching promoted by Bro. Branham’s son, Joseph, that “Everything Bro. Branham said IS THUS SAITH THE LORD”. That is a total lie. Everything Bro. Branham said IS NOT THUS SAITH THE LORD. Some things Bro. Branham said were THUS SAITH WILLIAM BRANHAM. That doesn’t mean those things are not true, but it means THEY WERE THUS SAITH WILLIAM BRANHAM, AND NOT THUS SAITH THE LORD. If everything Bro. Branham said was THUS SAITH THE LORD then God Himself said “I make them mistakes all the time. I’m–I’m a–sure a dummy, so you forgive me.” (Questions and Answers on the Seven Seals 1963). That was THUS SAITH WILLIAM BRANHAM. Of course, it is true. I believe exactly what is on those tapes, every word. Just the same way I believe what Paul the Apostle said, every word. Sometimes Paul said, “This is me speaking NOT THE LORD”. That’s in the Bible. Exactly. Sometimes it was Bro. Branham speaking, not the Lord. That doesn’t mean that what Paul said as a man was not true. To me what Paul said IS TRUE. I will follow him as he followed Christ. Likewise what Bro. Branham said was true, and I will follow him as he followed the Lord. Don’t add or take away a word. When Bro. Branham said he was sure a dummy, that was true. God uses dummies like that to speak His Word. He specially chooses dummies and sends puffed-up intellectuals to the loony-bin.

So everything Brother Branham said WAS NOT THUS SAITH THE LORD. That is a lying Deity spirit trying to turn Bro. Branham himself into INFALLIBLE GOD. IT’S THE SAME SPIRIT THAT TRIES TO TURN THE POPE OF ROME INTO INFALLIBLE GOD. Everything on the tapes IS NOT THUS SAITH THE LORD, IT IS ACTUALLY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST, THE REVEALING OF THE SON OF MAN THROUGH A SON OF MAN. Through the fallible, weak, dummy man, Jesus reveals Himself as THE GOD-PROPHET.

William Branham’s son Joseph says the TAPES ARE HIS ABSOLUTE. But Bro. Branham Himself says in his message The Absolute that THE WORD OF GOD, THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, ARE THE ABSOLUTE. Now it’s no good saying the tapes are your absolute then saying something opposite to what the tapes say. If the tapes are our Absolute then we test the Bible by the tapes. NO, WE TEST THE TAPES BY THE BIBLE. They pass the test: every word is according to the Oracles of God. The Devil will do anything to get you off that Word of God. As he did with Eve in the garden of Eden, he will come as a messenger of light, pretending to believe the Word, but teaching something different from the Word, in order to deceive you.

What is the purpose of this Deity spirit as it operates in some of the children of Bro. Branham? Of course, if Bro. Branham is God, then his children are literally “sons of God”. Simple. Satan is using some of the NATURAL children of Bro. Branham to get people to look to them as “sons of God”. As if they have some special access to higher revelation because they ate, lived and slept with Bro. Branham. That is the flesh and the Devil. Don’t believe it. The truth is that the only secret that matters for us IS THE SECRET OF THE SEVENTH SEAL, and Bro. Branham TOLD THAT TO NO-ONE. The secret of the Seventh Seal is the secret of the Second Coming, the Rapture. Without that you won’t be in the Rapture. Only God can show you that. Bro. Branham never told anyone what God had shown him in that Seal, so Bro. Branham’s natural children can’t help you a bit. You need God. By the revelation of the Seventh Seal you will get rapturing grace to take you out of this world without dying, like the prophet Enoch before the Flood. Without that revelation, you’re going to be left here in the Great Tribulation. And the seven Thunders which are the Revelations contained in the Seals, are not some unwritten outside-the-Bible teaching, but they ARE THE REVELATIONS OF WHAT IS ALREADY WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE. The Seventh Seal is the Capstone revelation of what is already written in the Word.

Bro. Branham told us what God showed him: in the Vision of Three Pulls, he told us how God showed him how to LAND THE BIG FISH, a RAINBOW TROUT. Bro. Branham had to make three pulls, and he would get the Big One on the third pull. The Seventh Seal, Bro. Branham told us, IS THAT THIRD PULL. THE DEVIL KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT, AND HE WON’T. Now, notice: the THIRD PULL LANDS A FISH. I hope you remember THE BIBLE: “I will make you fishers of men”, said Jesus. This is A CONVERT OF BRO. BRANHAM, NOT A NATURAL-BORN SON, BUT A CHILD OF PROMISE, A MIRACULOUS, GOD-GIVEN, CONVERT SON. That is who “Joseph” is. As all prophets, Bro. Branham gave his own children names which represent his ministry. Isaiah the prophet called his son Shear-Jashub, meaning “The remnant will return”, a sign that a few of God’s people, after their exile, would return to the promised land. That has happened, Israel, a remnant, has returned to the land, the prophecy, symbolized by his son, has returned. That didn’t mean Shear-Jashub was anything himself in the ministry. Joseph, Bro. Branham’s natural son, was so named because he is a symbol that Bro. Branham’s CONVERT SON (the RAINBOW TROUT in the Three Pulls Vision), will be the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE RAINBOW LIGHTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Just as John the Baptist pulled in THE BIG ONE (Jesus Christ), down there in the Jordan, so Bro. Branham, with the same John the Baptist ministry, PULLS IN THE BIG ONE, JESUS CHRIST IN THE FORM OF THE ADOPTED SON, THE CONVERT-SON of the vision. Jesus is today revealing Himself through the Spirit of Adoption in His Word-Body. The overcomer of the Laodicean Church Age WILL LITERALLY BE JESUS CHRIST, transfigured into His very image at the Rapture and seated in the Throne of David in Jerusalem, NOT REPLACING JESUS BUT IN JESUS, “I in them and they in me”, as Jesus said, for ever. No natural, carnal, son can REPLACE THE SON OF GOD. VICARIUS FILII DEI spells 666, and means “THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SON OF GOD”. It is the title of the Pope of Rome. Now you might not have the name of “Roman Catholic” but you can have the NUMBER OF THE NAME. It AMOUNTS TO THE SAME THING. IT TOTALS 666.
