I also watched the movie Jeremiah. It portrayed a man who came to love His God so much that he, literally, gave up his own life, meaning he yielded his own desires, became a servant to the Most High God. When God told him to go tell the people not to do as heathen around them, the people didn't want to hear it. Over and over again, he was made the laughing stock among the people. Yet, he didn't just talk the talk, he walked the walk.

I'd like to interject here a bit about my own life, after leaving the things of the Occult behind when I became a Born-Again believer, soaking up the borrowed Bible like a sponge, I was shocked to see that same little church where I found Jesus now celebrating Halloween. They were bobbing for apples but hey, the kids were dressed like saints so that made it ok. Having said that, let's see what Jeremiah had to say about another Tradition. I will use red to reference why God found this so offensive within these scriptures. It is nothing to take lightly or interject your own, "But....."

Jeremiah 10
King James Version (KJV)

10 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; 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.

The trees that were cut were the Cedar trees from the groves where the Satanist gathered to perform their rituals to their various gods. As you must know, this included either animal or human sacrifice.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

Does anyone see what God is telling His people here? He, not only says that they are vain but they are following the customs (traditions) of heathens.

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.

The trees are neither bad nor evil, in the fact that they are trees but, they represent the god that is being worshipped at that time of the year when the trees are brought into the homes. When was that? It was at the birth of their Sun god....in December....Christmas is what Christians call it. Every time you bend down and place a present under that ' tree - god', you don't know it but Satan accepts it as worship to him.

6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.

These heathen are brutish; which is a term used by Enoch when he uses animals to describe the fallen angels and their off-spring. Their doctrines or traditions are vanities. Solomon, who fell into great sin of worshipping false gods, finished his life saying, "All is Vanity"

9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.

Tarshish is a word used in Ezekiel 38:13 along with the young lions who is clearly describing the West and their allies. They are surprised that the attack from the north has come upon the land.; they represented the Zionists that did prospered in their shipping of their merchandise; especially silver and gold. However those colors of blue and purple speak of the False Relgion whom today are the opposing side of Zionist and that is the Vatican.

10 But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

When you listen to Enoch, you learn that these Fallen Angels had off-spring who continued to have their off-spring and in the end, they would see their own loved ones die. They would end up killing each other. God will have his revenge.

12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

Again, these very things are so wonderfully told in the video of Enoch: Oh the mysterious of God's creation. Finish reading these scriptures and reflect upon verse 25 and see what God has in store for those that follow the traditions of man rather than the Word of God. Those days are quickly upon us. I will finish here by bluntly saying Christmas is, perhaps the most slick of Satan's lies of getting worship because he has people believing that they are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus was born in the fall, most likely September 11th when the sheep were still in the fields. There is a way that seems right unto man but the end there-of is death. Proverbs 14:12 Cutting down the Cedar tree, fastening it so that it can stand and decorating it with silver and gold (or any of your modern trinkets), once understood, should never again be done by a believer that claims to be Born-Again. Our Heavenly Father hates these traditions of these Brutish (Beastly) men and He will pour out His revenge in the end. So, what will you do with this holiday that has nothing to do with Jesus Christ? What will you do with that tree that has been dragged into the house, the same kind that the worshippers of Lucifer gather into it's groves to do their evil rituals. Jeremiah was hated by these people because they would rather have their fun and traditions then take the backbone of Love of God and say, "NO MORE WILL I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS."

14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.

17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.

18 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.

19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.

20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the Lord: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.

23 O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

24 O Lord, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.

Great Post Gerlinda!

I cringe now that My eyes have been opened to the truth of all this. I want to run somewhere and hide when I think of singing the song "Ole' Christmas Tree", WITHOUT A THOUGHT of what it meant. Darkness is BRUTAL to our sense of reality isn't it!!! WOW!
