Babylon The Great


Scholars Identify “Babylon The Great” with CHRISTMAS:

“Nimrod started the great organized worldly apostasy from God that has dominated this world until now.
Nimrod married his own mother, whose name was Semiramis. After Nimrod’s death, his so-called mother-wife,
Semiramis, propagated the evil doctrine of the survival of Nimrod as a spirit being. She claimed a full-grown
evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, which symbolized the springing forth unto new life
of the dead Nimrod. On each anniversary of his birth, she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree
and leave gifts upon it. December 25th, was the birthday of Nimrod. This is the real origin of the Christmas tree.”

“The real origin of Christmas goes back to ancient Babylon. It is bound up in the organized apostasy
with which Satan has gripped a deceived world these many centuries! In Egypt, it was always believed that
the son of Iris (Egyptian name for “Queen of Heaven”) was born December 25th. Semiramis also bore the title
“Queen of Heaven” – and she was Nimrod’s mother. Paganism celebrated this famous birthday over most
of the known world for centuries before the birth of Christ.”

“Christmas as a pagan holiday traces back thousands of years before to a man named Nimrod, founder of ancient pagan Babylon.”

From the History Channel by Alan Mansager.

“Babylon’s false worship is found today in every nation and in some aspect in nearly all religions, including present day christianity.”

‘CHRISTMAS UNWRAPPED’
From the History Channel by Alan Mansager.

“Egyptian and Babylonian antiquities identify Nimrod’s mother as Semiramis, and his birthday was celebrated on 25th December.”

“Thus began the worship of Semiramis and the child-god, and the whole paraphanalia of the Babylonian religious system.”

‘THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS’
by Mike Gascoigne; 1996

“The Roman Pagans used to celebrate the birthday of their child-god on 25th December, and the Roman
Catholic Church sought to win over as many people as possible to nominal Catholicism by proclaiming
the same day to be the birthday of Jesus. So the Pagans had no difficulty worshipping the Catholic
Madonna and child. They were seen as yet another manifestation of the Babylonian Queen of Heaven
(Semiramis)and her son (Nimrod). The Pagans made no compromises, they didn’t need to, they just
continued their Pagan worship within the church.”

“While it’s easy to knock the Catholic Church because of their Maryolatry, the Protestants cannot
be left off the hook. The Protestant Reformation dispensed with only a part of the Babylonian system
of worship. The celebration of Christmas, inherited from the Roman Catholic Church, via Pagan Rome,
via Egypt, via Babylon, is still practiced as the most important event in the Protestant Christian
calendar, so from that point of view the Protestants are as much into Paganism as the Catholics.”

“The Christmas tree is specifically a Babylonian symbol. On Christmas Eve the Yule Log is thrown onto the fire.
On Christmas Day there is the tree, covered in decorations and surrounded with presents, representing the resurrected
Nimrod of Babylon.”

“FOR MANY years Christmas and other major holidays, such as Easter, Halloween, etc., have been portrayed
as having a Christian origin, yet they all have their common origins in Ancient Babylon.”

‘THE TRUE ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS & OTHER HOLIDAYS’
(Who Was Really Born On December 25?)
by The Gilead Institute of America.

“December 25 was highly honored and recognized by Nimrod’s supporters…Many centuries later this pagan custom
was “Christianized” as being the birthday of Christ.”

‘THE TRUE ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS & OTHER HOLIDAYS’
(Who Was Really Born On December 25?)

by The Gilead Institute of America.

“Today, the celebrated holiday known as Christmas, will actually find its roots in ancient Babylon.
Christmas is a pagan holiday, which was first formed by Semiramis, the mother-wife of Nimrod. This became
a holiday after Semiramis indoctrinated it into the Babylonish government upon the death of Nimrod.”

‘THE TRUE HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS’
Excerpt from Seven Seal Publications,
by The Biography of Noble Drew Ali & The Exhuming Of A Nation.

“Nimrod’s birth date was December 25th. This never was the birth date of Jesus, son of Joseph by Mary;
nor does any Holy Book support this idea.”

‘THE TRUE HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS’
Excerpt from Seven Seals Publications,
by The Biography of Noble Drew Ali & The Exhuming Of A Nation.

“The Christmas tree custom is also a pagan tradition stemming from Nimrod’s mother in her attempt to immortalize her son.”

“December 25th was celebrated as Baal or Nimrod’s birthday. By tradition, this birthday celebration became an integral
part of every human culture, based on this pagan idolatry. Generally, all mankind is fast asleep, dreaming this old
Babylonian dream. Christmas was an attempt by Catholicism to revise and adopt this paganism.”

‘THE STORY OF NIMROD’
(As It Relates To Christmas And Easter)
by Wilhelm J Wolfaardt.

“Scripture itself demands that we observe the Messiah’s death, and not His birth. But, since the pagan mind was so oriented
around fertility and birth,  it developed the way we see it today, blending the most important features of pagan interpretation.
“Babel, the Great Mother of Harlots and of the Abominations of the Earth” — has intoxicated the masses.”

‘THE STORY OF NIMROD’
(As It Relates To Christmas And Easter)
by Wilhelm J Wolfaardt.

“Christmas as a pagan holiday traces back thousands of years to a man named Nimrod,
founder of ancient pagan Babylon. Nimrod began a counterfeit religion in the Book of Genesis.
The Bible refers to it as the religion of Mystery Babylon — the mother of false religion
that will be destroyed when the Savior Jesus comes to set up His throne on earth, Revelation 18.
Babylon’s false worship is found today in some aspect in nearly all religions, including Christendom.”

‘NIMROD: THE GRANDFATHER OF PAGANISM’
by The Yahweh’s Restoration Ministries
.

“Jesus Christ was NOT born on December 25. But December 25th can be traced back to Genesis
and a man named Nimrod. Nimrod was the founder of a great false religious system that began in
ancient Babylon that has always opposed the truths of God. It’s time we face facts! This world is
deceived, just as God prophesied it would be (Rev. 12:9). Satan is the power behind this deception.
Satan has successfully pawned off the old customs of the Babylonian mystery religion as being pleasing
to Jesus Christ.”

“The book of Revelation is an end-time book. In chapter 17 we are told that Jesus Christ
will one day pass judgment upon a “great whore” bearing the title mystery, babylon the great,
the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth (v. 5). This is the great false Babylonian religious
system that Nimrod founded and its many false religious variations or denominations throughout the world!”

“Can there be any doubt what Jesus Christ thinks of this church? Every inhabitant of Earth has been
made to suffer to one degree or another by the deceptions created by its “abominations.”
Revelation 18:4 carries this plea: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,
my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Right now,
God is sending out that same warning message to all who will listen: Come out of all these pagan
practices disguised as Christianity. Don’t partake any longer of those sins. The celebration of Christmas and
its customs is just one of those sins. It seems harmless, but those who stay in such deception will eventually
have to face the wrath of Jesus Christ.”

‘WHY CHRISTMAS IS NOT SO IMPORTANT TO GOD’
By Carl Hilliker and Mark Jenkins in ‘Trumpet’ article, December 2002.

“It is no wonder that Jesus said, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.“ Popular opinion
should not prevent individuals who know the truth from turning away from a festival season steeped
in paganism. Jesus said that, in order to be His disciples, there would be times when we would need
to forsake the desires of our family and friends and follow Him (Luke 14:26-27).

‘WHY CHRISTMAS IS NOT SO IMPORTANT TO GOD’
By Carl Hilliker and Mark Jenkins in ‘Trumpet’ article, December 2002.

“God does give us a command to memorialize Jesus Christ: He commands us to observe the day
of Christ’s death (i Cor. 11:24-27)—NOT His birth.You now have a choice: You can continue keeping
Christmas year after year, accepting the influence of your family, friends, neighbors and Nimrod,
or you can accept the commands of the Eternal God by learning more about HIM.”

“Lent, Easter and Christmas are of Babylonian origin.”

‘EASTER AND CHRISTMAS PAGANISM 2000 B.C. TO DATE’
by Edward Stevens (1895-1966)

“Christmas” festivities are not just “pre-Christian”— dating to pagan worship of the sun god—but they in fact
have NO connection to the date of birth of the true Messiah, Jesus Christ.”

The Two Babylons

by Alexander Hislop
originally published in 1916
paperback; 352 pages

Written in the classical style, this volume is truly one of the great works of Christian apologetics. From a huge depository of ancient historical texts and myths, the author demonstrates that nearly all the dogmas and practices of the Romish church — the celebration of Christmas and Easter, the veneration of the Virgin Mary, the Mass, etc. — have been copied from the Babylonian worship of Nimrod and his wife Semiramis, and that the papacy is the direct descendent of that “mystery of iniquity” which was beginning to corrupt the Christian Church even in the First Century. As an account of the historical war between Christ and Antichrist, and of fallen mankind’s revolt against the true knowledge of God, this book is without equal and Hislop’s research will also aid the reader in understanding many difficult portions of the Old Testament. Illustrated with 61 woodcuts from Ninevah, Babylon, Egypt, Pompeii, and other heathen cultures.
