U.S. Homeland Security equals Russian KGB

May 15th, 2012

Why are we not hearing about the comparisons of Homeland Security and the Communist Russian KGB organization? Frankly, they are so similar it is really unnerving.

The KGB is frankly still going, it was just renamed. The Russian President, Putin, is KGB and loved the ruthless organization.

The KGB and Homeland Security secretly monitors citizens without limits.

The KGB and Homeland Security seizes control of anything they wish at any time.

The KGB and Homeland Security kills anyone at any time, without having to answer to anyone.

The KGB and Homeland Security arrests anyone at anytime, anywhere, and secretly whisks them away to secret locations for indefinite and prolonged times.

The KGB and Homeland Security can use torture and any means of persecution to force a person to break down and babble all they know, without any limits or representation. Of course, statements gained this way are rarely factual, but instead said in hopes of getting a reprieve of suffering.

The KGB and Homeland Security are able to control bank accounts, seizing funds of private citizens or corporations at any time and without any provable reason, totally oblivious to the fact their judgment is normally really distorted and completely wrong.

The KGB and Homeland Security are able to prohibit travel and commerce of any individual at any time, regardless of the fact their data is often faulty. Of course there is no way for a normal citizen to prove innocence against them, so the person is guilty without access to a justice system.

Well much more can be said about this totally socialistic, communistic, and agnostic system of population control. What does this say about Wally Herger, Diane Feinstein and Barbara Boxer when they wholeheartedly set this agency up in America, knowing full well it was patterned after George Bush’s friend and oft-time visitor Putin? Interesting…

Now again I ask, how is this a democracy when the public has no say at all about this? It is not a representative form of government, because again, communist leaders like Feinstein and Boxer are not ever expected to have to answer for their crimes against the United States of America! Interesting…

So what can we do? Run! Every country where communism won as it has in this country, Christians, Jews, and anyone that seeks to live a morally pure life is killed by mass murders.

What the AFT and FBI have done to citizens of this country still has not been forgotten by those of us who know we are being gunned for any day now. But the Homeland Security department is even worse and exempt from even the worthless hearings that took place on Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Elian Gonzales. Just as the myriad of laws to keep such things from happening, not only did it happen, there was nothing done to see it does not happen again, nor did the ones who did the horrible deeds suffer in accord with their crimes. Frankly, the ATF should have been dismantled immediately along with the FBI for any one act, not enlarged and given more latitude.

Terrorists of Workmans Comp

July 21st, 2008

The Workman’s Compensation system has been a disaster and predictably so since its inception. We have been held hostage by this terrorist system for over 17 years now.

The California Workman’s Comp (WCAB) system is a bully system. In order to have employment, a worker is required to pay into the system with every paycheck. The system is called an insurance policy, but it is not! It is a system of robbing the working man and then beating him up and bankrupting him when he is injured and unable to be gainfully employed.

How could anyone feel that way about a system that has been crafted so carefully by so many wise politicians? Oh, did I put two words together that are a distant memory in America?

The system has been changed dramatically over and over again in the last 17 years we have been victims of the system. Rules change constantly, and there is little help for the traumatized, just more bad news.

On a fateful evening of November 9, 1990, a tree stump came loose from the back of a semi-truck trailer, and crushed me. A visit that Friday night only brought restrictions as to what could be done. In spite of the fact the whole body was racked with many abrasions, the emergency room was only authorized to take ankle x-rays!

Hospital staff did not know what to do with such great restrictions, so hoped the family doctor could do something. However, the family doctor was forbidden to treat or examine. The staff made several calls for approval and one x-ray was approved if done by the doctor’s own very antiquated machine. Normally the x-rays were done at a imaging center in the area, but this was directly prohibited. The room was a storage room, and had to be cleaned out before it could be entered. That one old film just barely caught the diagonal break of the leg bone. Now how about treatment? No! No one knows if other things were broken, like ribs, etc. It is against the law for treatment to be granted without prior insurance company approval! The insurance company is the Zenith Insurance of Fresno, California.

U.C. Davis was finally contacted and agreed to see me in spite of the insurance companies’ direct and repeated statements forbidding the examination. Three years after the accident, U.C. Davis medical doctors found that there had been extensive damage to the leg. The two leg bones were detached and easily moved around. They needed to have several tests done, but could not do them until a judge ordered them. Of course the judge was livid when he was apprised of the situation.

It was too late to do much. The joint was cleaned up and ligaments from the foot were reused to hold the leg bones together. Nerve damage was set, and the pain levels had become permanent.
Fast forward 10 years. Trying to live and keep seven children fed and clothed was a real problem. The house we were using was bulldozed for new construction. We moved into our grandmother’s home.

This required getting a new judge in a new court, now in Redding, California.
After lots of misguidance from the information officer at the Redding ‘courthouse’ a trial date was finally obtained. Needless to say, Zenith’s case workers had decided to cancel all the court ordered medications and would not provide required and court ordered medical treatment.

The judge was Sarah Sala, a recent transplant from Los Angeles. Also one who had done cruises and such events. What she was doing in Redding is obviously purely politics. Zenith did not provide a lawyer nor did they have any representation. The judge said we needed to file sanctions. It was finally decided to reschedule the hearing for the next day.

Enter Richard Montarbo. That evening we received two calls from his office stating we were breaking the law and would be put in jail for moving the case to Redding. Also they stated there would be huge fines imposed on us for breaking the law to go to court! Interesting…

Next, we get to court and meet Richard Montarbo for the first time. Judge Sala could care less about all the paperwork and proof of a lack of provision of medical care. Instead she ordered that we be sent for more medical evaluations on top of the many we had undergone already!

Two years later, we return to seek medical care be restarted. The judge again refused to listen to the facts and instead ordered three more evaluations! Of course it takes years to get the evaluations and Zenith refuses to provide the agreed expenses for the evaluations! Does that matter? No!

Montarbo called for a hearing in December, 2006, to close the case! We refused to do so. Now we are being called back to court again to close the case! So either justice will be served, or Sala will ignore the previous orders and the facts again, and Zenith will continue getting more medical evaluations to continue their hunt for someone who will say nothing is wrong.

Oh, and this is only the tip of the iceberg! It would take many hours to recite the facts of the years of abuse and negligence. So I ask, can anyone rightfully say Judge Sala, California State Workmans’ Comp, and the Zenith Insurance company are not terrorist organizations that should be brought down with harsh and final military action? Oh, yah! Our soldiers are entagled overseas in 160 different battle fronts!!! Plenty of illegal aliens get incredible medical care by these groups! Maybe they are not terrorists, but actually traitors committing treason!

Political Intrigue or Sin?

April 23rd, 2008

We have a relative that died in the Korean (conflict? Police action? Peace keeping mission? Experiment?) entanglement where we allowed the United Nations to kill American soldiers and use our military skills. Upon reading the accounts and trying to write about it for family members, it was a heart rending story. 30 men were instantly snuffed out while our Navy ship was bombarding a Communist position. There was no return gunfire!!! Just being around all that explosive, something went wrong and 30 of our boys were suffocated in an explosion in a forward turret. The story in the newspaper, carried headlines saying that the army was calling up 10,000 more draft cards and then three months later calling up 30,000 more!

One of the boys killed was living in a small town in Washington. A report in this area at the time, listed the many boys who had been lost from their small region, and the recent addition of our relative, and then asked a whole list of very pointed questions about whether or not this was a proper way for a government to involve drafted soldiers. How does a parent deal with the loss of their child when they do not understand why their boy was forced to go to into a battle that we plan to not win?

The feelings are similar to the report of the loss of life sent to King David. David was horrified at the figures and wanted to know why the soldiers came that close to the walls where their lives were at such high risk. The General replied, that Bathsheba’s husband was dead. That ended all the government investigations and hearings into the matter! Does our government hate us so much that they are trying to kill off our boys as quickly as possible? On the other side we have our government making prisons as fast as possible, so that people go in and never come out again. Outside we think a person serves a portion of their time and is let free, but the fact is, there are hundreds of thousands of men who have served their sentence a long time ago, but are not being released, because the government hires kids, hot out of school and tells them to write psych reports that will keep them from being released. If the state employee writes even one report that does not comply with these orders, the person is fired immediately, regardless of what the law says about any aspect of the report.

Then there is the recent news story of how our government funded and set up the Taliban by giving millions of dollars to Pakistan, for them to distribute to whatever groups they would wish to keep things stirred up with the Soviets.

Story after story has broken about how our country set up various dictators, then took them down at the loss of many American lives. Our country has done this over and over again and continues the sad habit.

So how can this rotten story end? It is very simple. Our country has to start doing what is right again, as it once did. Instead of doing what some few political scene controllers want done, our country has to start obeying its own Constitutional laws and begin doing what is right in God’s eyes.

Proverbs 14:34, “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”

Military Porn

April 8th, 2008

A news clip appeared from a Baptist publication mentioning that our military has refused to obey a law passed in the Federal Congress that prohibits the sale of any lewd or pornographic material on military bases or in military stores. The law was passed in 1996, in response to the outcry of women being raped and military wives upset about their children being exposed to pornography in base stores.

The head of the military is quoted as saying two shocking statements. First they did not ever intend to comply with the law. Second, he did not consider well-known pornography magazines as being such.

Furthermore, it is a known fact that pornography is rampant in our military barracks, accepted and some would point out how it is encouraged.

The question then is raised in today’s socialistic government, who is it that controls a runaway military? Congress can cut off the purse strings, but that is frankly not going to do much to stop a multi-billion dollar industry. If anything, the military could threaten Congress as has been done several times in Russia.

The President is the commander and Chief of the military, but he really is only supposed to enforce the law. He would be the one to bring the generals to the courts through the Federal Attorney General, and the Generals would be penalized for insubordination. The President could also fire the Generals for non-compliance.

But what do you do about a President who refused to uphold the law, and in fact signs and attaches wavers to every law Congress passes? The wavers state that the law is subject to his interpretation of it, and his personal opinion!

Congress could impeach the President, and then the Vice-President, and go on down the line, but frankly, Congress does not have the guts to stir the pot and risk losing its royal attire. Enforcing the law against the President could bring a Law-abiding Leader to power that would make Congress start obeying the law! What a nightmare for the fat cats of Washington!

The founding fathers of this country foresaw these exact circumstances, and they provided the laws in the Constitution to keep this from happening. First of all, the military is not to be a permanent fixture. Local militias from townships can be called up and authorized to do a specific battle, if Congress calls our nation to war to protect itself. These battles have a time limit of two years. Congress can vote to extend it if necessary, but as soon as the battle is won, the federal military is dissolved.

There were only two groups that could be employed in an ongoing manner, and these two organizations are dramatically limited in authority. The first group is a coast guard, and they can have ships to help patrol our coasts. The second is the border patrol, and they are to patrol our borders and ensure only authorized people enter our country. These groups are never to occupy homes, or harass citizens. They simply protect our borders. Unfortunately, these groups have become more like rescue workers, than guards. Their limited powers get more limited with each President!
So what is the first step in stopping the illegal carnage and political powers of the Federal government? Take away its military. Without their bullies to use as pawns, things would really calm down in Congress and limits in power could be instantly employed.

If the military is not going to be disbanded, then it is time for every true American Citizen to take up arms as our Constitution instructs and drive the Federal government from our homes (the spying), from our streets (back to the local elected sheriff), from our businesses (have you seen the Federal and State forms and requirements to conduct business lately?), from our States (so State elections really matter anymore?), and from every World organization and body that is there to circumvent American Constitutional law. Furthermore it is time to drive every foreign representative that enjoys “diplomatic immunity” from our shores to conduct their crimes in their own countries, and to execute disdainfully all the foreign soldiers in our land. This is our Country and we do not want any foreign armies here playing “war games” and learning our secrets.

A visit to the Naval Academy graduation services in Monterey was a shame! The list of graduates from every other country that is a threat to us was mind boggling. They all were highly honored and got advanced degrees! What is all that about? Why are our military schools training foreign powers? Are we really that determined to have our throats cut and is the military that intent on seeing our nation fall to foreign powers?

U.S. Constitution Preamble

September 7th, 2007

The Preamble of the United States Constitution is finally ready for use again!

After languishing in disarray for over a year now, the U.S. Constitution review is finally getting cleaned up, reformed and updated! It had been on another website, and the transfer to this site did not go well at all! But now, after lots of code cleanup, it is finally getting where it can be viewed and used again.

The rest of the Constitution should be uploaded regularly!

Just a Pair of Pants or Much More?

January 10th, 2007

Wow! I just received my order of pants in the mail and am so happy they are from Pakistan! What could be better for an American than to help some third world nation by buying products in bulk for the rich American to consume?

But then reality struck!

Pakistan is a very wicked and ungodly region committed on just about every level from the lowest person in poverty to the richest ruler (thug) to see the demise of Christianity and America, and of course, Israel.

Due to the spin doctors of the world powers (including our president, congressional office holders, countless bureaucrats, national media institutions owned and controlled by big corporations, etc., the American people are being forced to support such a wicked and evil country. This is despite the determined and constant efforts of their government and people to commit treason against our government, its people and everything Christian.

To make matters worse, our tax dollars (stolen from us unconstitutionally and without Constitutional representation) go by the truck loads to this vile country.

Now Americans are being forced to accept goods from this very egregious nation, and at prices that should make the rich blush with shock.

So why not just get pants elsewhere? This used to be an easy thing, but since the international marketing has been so viciously thwarted upon the American people, the local businessman has lost everything. The U.S. government  has poured out an uncountable number of laws to limit any chance of success among the American businessman. States have only made things worse, yet neither has any jurisdiction over local business. Local business should be governed by local laws, but even local government has accepted the State and Federal monies to such a degree they are nothing but pawns in the hands of the stolen authority. Furthermore, local governments pour out such vitriol against private business and small scale industry that it becomes impossible to do business.

Furthermore, governments do not just make it illegal to do business without a host of corporate lawyers and the budgets to go with them, they also have laid out such horrible fee structures that it takes a team of lawyers to determine payroll for only one person! Add to this the manifold types of insurance that is required, reporting and inspecting that is required, and you have a situation where the government has destroyed America. Assuming you could somehow find time to sell and produce a product while keeping up with the myriad of fees and requirements, you also have to spend countless days in court and jail while officials contemplate their actions against you, and form a case that you will be totally unable to fight so that you will settle out of court and never dare to try to buck the big boys of Corporate and American Government!

So, in shorter terms, I cannot get pants elsewhere. World Trade is based on the Communistic/Socialist system of dictatorship. And we thought communism was dead? It just moved to a world power level. A few idiots sit behind their behemoth desks (as rarely as necessary) and huge buildings of people determine who should be allowed to do what. America has been dismantled to its roots, but the laws that where designed to protect Americans have remained in place, even though the big corporations have not. It comes down to this: you want these pants, then you must buy them from this country. If you dare to buck the system, we have a small concrete cell awaiting you and many years of short visits before a person in robes, where you will not be allowed to speak!

So, I bought the pants and bemoan the cost every time I wear them!

Terrorism or Treason?

January 9th, 2007

Mankind has a horrible habit or ignoring history and trying to distance themselves from terms that carry a history, for fear they may become implicated by calling things what they really are. This is the case of the stupidly coined term of terrorism. Why not call these Moslems what they are? They commit treason all around the world. They are taught from the cradle to kill Jews and Christians, and to take over the world. Losing their life to kill a Christian or Jew is the most honored way to die.

So why do we not use the term of treason? Frankly, the spin doctors for the politicians know that such a term would implicate their candidate for the very same crimes the Moslems are committing. Of course the Moslems are actually carrying explosives to kill Americans, but the politicians are doing it in their normal “white collar” ways. The end result is the same.

The typical federal American Congress person, bureaucrat, official, spy, etc. works at dismantling this great country piece by piece. They consistently work to rid this country of Christian influences which can only be done by removing the real Christian. A real Christian is sold out to God and His Word, and is outspoken as a missionary for what is right and wrong. Politicians inherently hate real Christians because their works are so evil, they cannot withstand the light of day.

So, if we are going to use a term that describes those that are actively trying to destroy America, call it what it has always been called: treason. Instead of calling politicians “progressives” or some other term that is totally bogus, call it what it is: treason.

Moslems in America or any Christian nation are treasonous. Politicians that seek to submit this country to World powers of any kind are also treasonous. Let’s drop the stupid jargon and get real! The only way to preserve America is to throw out these people of treachery and keep them out! Any people partaking in activities to destroy this country should be executed speedily for what they are: traitors!

Trusting a Lying Government

January 3rd, 2007

Government believes it is the big brother to the citizen, and expects all citizens to accept anything it says as absolute fact. However the evidence never seems to stack up in agreement.

The death of Saddam is an example of how you cannot trust our government or the puppet governments we set up. Not only did the U.S. federal government set Saddam up as a puppet, it supported Saddam with all kinds of aid, weapons and intelligence throughout his career. However at the same time, it sought to destroy him, because he was not a good enough puppet.

Saddam however was a slippery character and was able to elude all U.S. efforts to assassinate him. He also was able to hold a very violent group of Arabs together, keeping all of them at peace with each other. Apparently this was not good enough for the U.S. He was wrongfully hostile towards Israel, and supported its destruction right up to his death.

Saddam’s whole life is a story of the schizoid support of the United States federal powers. Not only is it not unified, it is so contrary to itself, it shoots itself in the foot repeatedly.

The last element is seen in the death of Saddam. Our federal powers’ state department worked very carefully with the new puppet government to ensure a script was made of Saddam’s execution. Unfortunately a part actor did not follow the script and believed in the importance of the press to keep government in check. A real video of the execution was released the same time the government propaganda film and information was released. The two do not agree on any points except maybe Saddam was executed, and when.

Now the real problem is that we are to trust our “big brother” in everything. But big brother never earns that trust, but instead just demands it. Furthermore, government is to stay behind the scenes quietly protecting the citizens, not using its power to create Hollywood shows with budgets to match, and a serfdom among officials that makes kings look poor.

This Is Not a Democracy

January 3rd, 2007

Our U.S. government has set up two “democracies” in the Arab world. The definition of the democracy is when people rule. This however is not anything that any official ever wants to happen, so it seems hypocritical for them to use the term often in public.

Just about every official in all layers of government is about power, wealth and living above law. Very few are honestly in position to hold government to being law abiding and officials to being servants, not emperors. It is no secret that Congress cannot agree. This is because laws are not made based on morality, justice or the need. They are based on how much power, wealth and prestige they will grant the official.

What is even more ridiculous about the establishment of democracy by a republic is that it is obvious that these democracies are being established by individual puppets that are treated by the tune of millions of dollars a month so they can live like powerful emperors. Then “open elections” are held where these filthy rich individuals are given budgets and media consultants, and managers, handlers, intelligence, and armies of soldiers to make sure they will win. But power corrupts absolutely as does wealth, and prestige. These government stars do not care for the citizen any more than the American officials do. In fact, they appear to care even less, if that is possible.

So are things improved in these countries and in our own? The answer is a resounding “No!” They may be better for the federal US powers, but not for citizens in either land. While the US is setting up these puppet governments, they are turning their citizens into a welfare state, where everyone is dependent on their “big brother” to give them their every need to live. Of course this cannot be done, nor should it ever be done. This is communism and socialism mixed with a dictatorial government that seeks to make people think officials are their friends, when in reality, that is never seen. Sure, nice homes are built from ruins, and huge government buildings are constructed that rival any palace ever built. Even a business here or there may be given huge amounts of cash to become a monopoly, but it is never for the good of any people, just the officials who want to retain power and keep huge federal coffers leaking in their direction.

Christmas is Flagrant Idolatry

January 3rd, 2007

Christmas is a much battered festival because it ought to be. Nothing good will ever come of it, nor has anyone ever become more holy because of it.

Americans want to believe they are not idolaters like those of ancient history, or heathen peoples of other lands. The fact is we are worse idolaters by American culture, and Christmas is a prime example.

First of all, Christ was not born at Christmas, nor has anyone tried to make the point till recent American history.

Secondly, Christ’s Mass should give a very loud clue as to where the concept originated. It was a scheme to make use of a very heathen festival and “Christianize” it by holding a mass in honor of Christ.

Here is a lesson on purity. Only God can make things pure. Sinners can only make things unholy, because everything the touch is made filthy. When sinners take their heathen and wicked festivals and try to make them holy, they in fact remain what they always were: unholy, degenerate, and wicked. Man is totally incapable of taken what is filthy and making it into something pure, by just renaming it, and adding a couple Christian elements. This is akin to taking feces and calling it a holy rock and saying that honor of it honors holiness. Furthermore, by giving lots of gifts purchased sacrificially and giving them to others is a means of honoring the holy rock.

Christmas does not honor Christ’s birth at all. Nor does it celebrate Christ. It honors the tree which is something roundly condemned in God’s Word, where the whole event is condemned including the cutting of it, the decorations, and fastening of it into the home and giving it a place of honor. It does honor the mass marketing industry that is based on communist and socialist work, and contributes to many Christians being arrested and tortured and put in slave labor camps to create cheap goods to sell in America on for that idolatrous day.

Now let’s examine the life of a heathen idol worshiper. Here are some corollaries.

1. It begins by committing to honor that idol with their life. Try to cancel Christmas and you will find a universal uprising of Americans to demand it be kept, and will suffer to their death for their idol. Anyone that dares to dishonor their god by not participating in the festival is ostracized as evil.

2. An image of the idol is made and kept in an honored place in the home throughout the festival. In Christmas, not only is a tree raised and decorated in belligerent disobedience to Scripture, but Santa Claus, snow men, and an optional manger scene is set up and given an honored place in the home, but much attention and honor by all who come to visit. It should be noted that the manger scene is neither historically accurate, nor is it even patterned after anything that would have been used in Jesus’ day. Everything else has nothing to do with worshiping Christ or Christ’s birth, except the star or angel that is sometimes used atop the tree. But both these elements are historically heathen idolatrous practices. The star is the worship of Mars and the angel is a worship of angels which the New Testament clearly condemns.

3. A meal is held in honor of the idol. In Christmas we have the dinner. Not only is Scripture ignored that condemns the use of ham for food, but a feast is had in honor of the idols in the house.

4. Gifts are given after they are presented to the idol. Some gifts are simply sacrificed to the idol. In Christmas a huge pile of gifts are bought and then wrapped in colorful attractive packaging and put under the idol tree in the house. These gifts are supposed to come from a Saint Nicholas, thus making the gifts no longer from the giver, but from the idolized Saint. Scripture makes fun of such practices, by asking what is wrong with the idol that it cannot give its own gifts, but must rely on what humans do for it. If the idol is really the god everyone says it is, then it should miraculously grant gifts itself, without the pathetic human intervention it is given. I have lived through many of these festivals and cannot ever remember a real miracle ever coming from the tree, Santa Claus, or someone acting on their behalf. In fact, truth be told, this festival is a very painful time emotionally, financially and spiritually, even though one is never allowed to admit it.

5. Lies upon lies are made to honor the idol. Christmas is a pack of lies, and teaches children from the earliest days that lying is a good thing if done for fun. All kinds of stories are made up to bring honor to the idols of heathen nations and Christmas. People are honored that add to these lies, and pretend to be a part of the lies. Satan is the father of lies and a festival based on lies cannot be holy, nor can it be made holy. There are so many lies about Santa Claus, the elves, snow men, the north pole, etc., it is amazing that people that name the name of Christ have not fled the whole event.

6. An idol has its own music, songs and dances. Christmas does too, in fact, Americans are frustrated each year by increasing taxes, inflation (comes from the government printing money that has no backing in precious metal), longer and more expensive political campaigns, and a longer Christmas season. The Christmas music in some places starts as early as July! In other places that are permanent temples to Christmas idolatry, the music is used year-round. But for the normal American household, Christmas music is brought out after Thanksgiving and played through the Roman calendar’s new year. Now God made all His creation musical so it can praise Him in holy harmony. Satan is a musical being complete with harps and trumpets to praise God. Instead, Satan has used these instruments to encourage music that is everything but honoring to God, to help keep people’s minds off of the reality of their eternal state, and current purpose in life. Dare to listen to the words of any of the Christmas sounds with an open Bible, and you will be horrified at the favorites sung even in Churches.

7. An idol has an alternative that is holy and pure. Christmas has an alternative that is holy and pure, and one that Christ himself celebrated publicly and did miracles during, and even gave sermons that are classics today, but not associated with their setting because of the idolatry of Christmas overshadowing the holy celebration. The Roman Government when instituting a religion that would mix the worship of the Roman deities of Zeus, Hercules, Ceres, Dianna, etc., and Christianity, wanted to later turn the winter festivals into a “Christianized” festival. The problem is there is a festival that happens around that time, but not always on that time, and it is Jewish, and Catholicism hates Jewish people, and has gone far to slaughter Israelis to this very day. So a modernized heathen festival was chosen over a Biblical festival. Furthermore, the Biblical festival lasts 7 days, and the Roman governments wanted to not have to give up more than a day to a holiday. So the Bible was discarded and heathen practice continued. The holy alternative is Hanukkah. This celebrated the Jewish revolt against the horrible Roman army and government, and the opening of the Temple doors to worship of God once again. Upon cleansing the temple of its defilement by the presence of Roman idols and their worship, as well as the forced eating of ham by all who came, it was found there was only one day’s oil to light the lampstand. It would be 8 days before a new batch of holy oil could be made. But in zeal of God, the lampstand was lit and to everyone’s amazement, it miraculously burned until the new oil was ready to be used!

This festival is called the “Festival of Lights” in the Gospels. It was during this time that Christ Jesus declared Himself the Light of the World, and the light that shines out of darkness. He also did amazing miracles during this great celebration. The Jewish people also hoped he would cause an uprising and once and for all overthrow the Roman government and reign as Emperor of the World. He could not, because He came to die for us and provide an alternative to the heathen practices that lead to eternal ruin and great suffering on this earth.

So we have a choice if we are saved. Either worship God and obey Scripture and flee from Christmas and be like Christ and celebrate Hanukkah, or join the Devil and his minions and take part in a most wicked festival that defies God, His Word and everything holy and good.
