  518.1  
 
Dear Brethren, I was honestly shocked when I read the following 
SCRIPTURE: 
"Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, o house of 
Israel. Thus saith the Lord, learn not the ways of the heathen and be 
not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at 
them. 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 ax. 
They deck it with silver and with gold: they fasten it with nails and 
with hammers, that it move not. 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." Does this not completely sound 
like a description of the antichrist tree? (I fear to even call it 
what man calls it.) 

Do you not know that if you change only one letter of the word 
"santa" you then are left with the word "satan?" 
And do you not know that Claus is very similar to Lucas? Lucas is the 
root word for lucifer, the angel who rebelled? THE SCRIPTURES 
Indicate that lucifer said that he would exalt himself above the 
clouds of GOD, that he would sit on the throne, and that he would sit 
on the sides of the north. It is then, a coincidence that 
"santa" supposedly comes from the "north pole?" 
Is it a surprise then, also, that "santa" sits on a throne? 
The antichrist unholiday comes from a heathen practice where the 
people celebrated one of their idols, calling it a day to celebrate 
"the birth of the sun," they said. (I do not say so.) Not 
surprisingly, their celebration was usually on or around December 
20-25. 

People, deliver yourself out of the wicked subtilty of the wicked 
serpent. Deliver yourself. Why let that wicked thing which hath 
stolen steal even more? Why let the murderer kill you with death. 
Deliver yourself. 
To the Brethren, 

I Testify to you, with THE LORD JESUS CHRIST as my Witness, that 
santa, the elves, the snowman, the reindeer, and all other December 
25th traditions of idols of men are an abomination in THE SIGHT OF 
GOD. It is a mockery to decorate a tree and to call it subtily by THE 
NAME OF THE LORD. They decorate the tree, crown it with a seemingly 
glorious star, and gather around it. This is blasphemy against THE 
LORD JESUS CHRIST. Surely THE LORD JESUS CHRIST will never give HIS 
GLORY to a tree. As HE SAID "I AM THE LORD. THAT IS MY NAME. MY 
GLORY I will not give to another." 
The invention of the antichristmas tree (it is not a Christian 
Teaching) is surely the invention of a servant of the devil, leading 
people into provoking to anger THE ALMIGHTY GOD. 

People ought to be "sober, be vigilant, for your adversary, the 
devil, walketh about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may 
devour." Even so, beware of the subtilty of that wicked serpent. 
People celebrate the cursed satan when they celebrate and make images 
of "santa." Do you not notice the similiarity of the names? 
It looks good to the appearance... it seems good for righteousness; 
it is for the kids, they say. But, the tree that was forbidden also 
looked good to be eaten, and looked good to "make one 
wise," but Eve ate of it, and she died from it. 

December 25th is not Christmas, for it is not pleasing in THE SIGHT 
OF CHRIST. But, rather, it is antichristmas. The making of 
"nativity scenes" is idolatry. Do you think that on 
Decembert 25th, that THE COMMANDMENTS of GOD are not still to be 
kept? Many people would complain about Catholics making images, yet 
on December 25th, they do not protest; they even think that the 
nativity scenes are good. They are not. For GOD ALMIGHTY SAID 
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, nor any 
likeness of anything that is in the waters above, nor in the earth 
beneath, nor in the waters under the earth." "Lest you 
corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of an 
figure, the likeness of either male or female." 

Where has GOD ALMIGHTY Declared December 25th a Holy Day? HE has not. 
Rather, the servants of the devil invented December 25th's 
celebrations, and they perverted it with idols such as the santa, the 
elves (the devil and his legions?!), the reindeer, the snowman, etc. 

Beware. For THE LORD GOD SAID to cease from your own eyes and from 
your own understanding, "after which you use to go a 
whoring." Do you think that THE LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID in vain 
"Strive to enter in at The Straight Gate. For Straight is The 
Gate, and narrow is The Way that leadeth to life, and few there be 
that find it." Again THE LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID "For broad 
is the gate, and wide is the way that leadeth to death. And many 
there be that go in thereat." 

Beware of antichristmas. "GOD IS A SPIRIT, and he that 
worshipeth HIM must worship HIM in Spirit and in Truth." 
"Little children, keep yourselves from idols." "Flee 
from idolatry." 

GLORY TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD and HIS HOLY RIGHTEOUSNESS SON JESUS CHRIST 
THE LORD. HIS HOLY NAME IS ALPHA AND OMEGA and BLESSED FOREVER and 
EVER. Amen. "There is no other." 

GLORY TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD and HIS HOLY SON JESUS CHRIST THE LORD. 
I Testify to you by THE LORD JESUS CHRIST that what I'm telling you 
is The Truth, based on THE WORD OF GOD WHICH IS TRUTH Forever. 

As physical Israel is under attack, because they went into sin 
following after baal and other devils in the old days, so too at this 
day, the Church-- called Spiritual Israel-- is being slain by devils; 
they are compassed about with spiritual pestilence from the north. 
Why? THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID because "your fathers have forsaken 
ME, SAITH THE LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have 
worshipped them, and have served them, and have forsaken ME, and have 
not kept MY LAW." Therefore, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID of the 
congregations "they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be 
led away captive into the nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden 
down by the gentiles until the times of the gentiles be 
fulfilled." At this day, the devils have compassed about the 
congregations, and all denominations will be utterly spiritually 
desolate. Why? THE LORD GOD SAID "I will utter MY judgements 
against them, touching all their wickedness, in that they have 
forsaken ME, and have! b! 
urned incense unto other gods, and have worshipped the works of their 
own hands." Therefore, "THE LORD hath cast off HIS altar; 
HE hath abhorred HIS Sanctuary; HE hath given into the hand of the 
enemies the walls of her palaces." Therefore soon the beast is 
going to be revealed, seeming to bring "peace" and 
"revivals" to the middle east and to the world, and seeming 
to be Jesus, but is not, and then the whole earth will be devoured by 
that spiritual curse that comes out of the north country. As THE 
ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "I will call for all the families of the 
north, and they will come, and they will set every one his throne at 
the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against the walls 
thereof, and against all the cities of Judah." For the spiritual 
Judah and Jerusalem-- the congregations which sware by THE LORD'S 
NAME yet "surely they sware falsely"-- will be destroyed by 
the spiritual curse. As THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "The carcasses of 
this people will I give to be mea! t unt! 
o the fowls of the heaven and unto the beasts of the earth." 
Even now the spiritual beasts and fowls, which are devils, are 
defiling the carcasses of those spiritually slain by them. For THE 
ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "I begin to bring evil upon the city that is 
called by MY NAME." Beware of the curse, for it is not 
"revival" but is the mark of the beast, the wine of the 
wrath of GOD. And it shall be that "the earth is burned, and 
few men left" spiritually. For the curse "hath set him on 
fire round about, yet he knew it not; it hath burned him, yet he laid 
it not to heart." Beware, lest you receive of the spiritual 
curse, and be made into the antichrist who will soon be revealed, and 
who the congregations already make way for with their lyings signs 
and wonders. Why has THE ALMIGHTY GOD brought such Judgements against 
the congregations so that "they perish forever without any 
regarding it?" Because they have gone whoring after other gods, 
have forsaken THE WORD ! OF GOD, and they s! 
hed innocent blood by spiritually murdering and being defiled by the 
curse among them. Indeed, woe to spiritually called Israel. 
"Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, for 
they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the 
pestilence." All denominations will be utterly desolate, as HE 
SAID against them "your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor 
your sacrifices sweet unto ME." Why? THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID 
"From the least of them even unto the greatest of them, they are 
all given to covetousness; and from the priest to the prophet, they 
all deal falsely." Beware. As THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "MY 
people, go out from the midst of her. Deliver every man his soul from 
the fierce anger of THE LORD." Only a scattered Remnant will be 
Delivered. 

The great tribulation is when the seeming "revivals" will 
sweep the earth. Then many will be slain by the wrath which is called 
"revivals" thinking that they are being "delivered 
from the wrath to come," yet the whole time they will be being 
slain by that very wrath. Such prophets as lindsey, van impe, 
jenkins, and "left behind series" and such are servants of 
the devil, "who deceiveth the whole world." "For such 
are false apostles." I will tell you the Truth, which is that 
the mark of the beast is not a computer chip; it is the spirits 
slaying in the "revivals." Know that as those who are in 
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST Live through CHRIST, for "he that hath THE 
SON hath LIFE," so too he that is joined to the devils in the 
supposed "revivals" are accursed by that curse. THE 
ALMIGHTY GOD has brought the devils upon the people because they have 
gone whoring after those idols, have forsaken HIS WORD, and have not 
obeyed HIS LAW. For "the time is come that judgement must begin 
at T! h! 
e House of GOD." If any man is touched by the devils in the 
supposed "revivals" they will be left upon the earth and 
they have received the mark of the beast. For soon the wicked 
antichrist will be revealed, seeming to bring "peace and 
revival" to the middle east and to the world, and will seem to 
be Jesus, but is not, and even now the congregations make way for 
that beast with the "lying signs and wonders" done among 
them. Do not be deceived. For the congregations are mystery babylon, 
spiritual sodom and gomorrah, and the devils among them 
"transformeth himself into an angel of LIGHT." When they 
fall down slain, it is because "they are full of the fury of THE 
LORD, the rebuke of thy GOD." Why? THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID 
"MY people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge," and the 
wicked false prophets cause the people to be slain, for "they 
which lead this people cause them to err, and they which are led of 
them are destroyed." Therefore, "they perish forever 
without any regarding !! 
it." As LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID "Where the carcasses are, 
there will the eagles be gathered together." Such 
"carcasses" are those spiritually slain, and such 
"eagles" are devils upon them. Beware of that wrath, lest 
you be accursed, for THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "I begin to bring 
evil upon the city that is called by MY NAME." Why? THE LORD GOD 
SAID because "they have transgressed THE LAW, changed THE 
ORDINANCE, and broken THE EVERLASTING COVENANT." For it shall be 
that "the indignation of THE LORD is upon all the nations, and 
HIS fury is upon all their armies. HE hath utterly destroyed them, 
and hath delivered them to the slaughter. And their slain also shall 
be cast out, and their stink shall come up from their 
carcasses." When that curse sweeps the earth, such is spiritual 
great tribulation. But, beware of that curse of mystery babylon, for 
THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY SAID "MY people, come out from among her, 
be ye seperate, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive 
thee." 

Hello. Blessed is THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST Forever. I want to give 
you sincere, heart-felt warnings. I say this with JESUS as my 
WITNESS. 
The mark of the beast is the spirit that is in the 
"revivals" and the great tribulation is when that will 
sweep the earth. When they are slain, it is as THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID 
"I will cast down their slain men before their idols." Such 
are judgements from ALMIGHTY GOD, and "they perish forever 
without any regarding it." When the people fall down slain, as 
KING JESUS SAID "where the carcasses are, there will the eagles 
be gathered together," which "eagles" are devils, and 
which "carcasses" are the people slain by them, it is 
"because thou hast cast away THE LAW OF THE LORD Of Hosts and 
hast despised THE WORDS OF THE HOLY ONE Of Israel, therefore is the 
anger of THE LORD kindled against HIS people." When the 
"revivals" sweep the earth among the beast, who will seem 
to be Jesus, but is not, and will seem to bring "peace" and 
"revival" t! o the middle east and to the world, such 
"revivals" are the spiritual great tribulation. Beware of 
that curse among mystery babylon, the congre! 
gations. For THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "Come out from among them, 
and be ye separate, SAITH THE LORD, and touch not the unclean thing, 
and I will receive thee." These things are slaying the people 
because THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "they have gone after other gods 
and worshipped them, and have served them." 

The Great Tribulation is not physical wars, which only make way for 
it, but is spiritual wrath that will be poured upon the world in 
seeming "revivals" (and is already begun to be kindled) 
when the antichrist is revealed, seeming to be Jesus, but is not, and 
looking like the abominable "shroud of turin" image, and 
seeming to bring "peace and revival" to the middle east, 
and to the world. Such things as tbn and "left behind" and 
"megiddo" have people deceived, (for they are of their 
father the devil "who deceiveth the whole world) so that when 
that curse slays in seeming "revivals," the whole time they 
will be thinking that they are being "delivered from wrath to 
come," yet they will be being slain by that very wrath. It is 
devils, not THE HOLY SPIRIT, and is the mark of the beast, the cup of 
harlot mystery babylon. As THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "I will cast 
down their slain men before their idols." Why such judgements of 
this spiritual sword, scorpions, famine, pestilence, dea! t! 
h slaying "his name was death, and hell followed with him?" 
Because the people have gone whoring after idols, have sworn by HIS 
HOLY NAME falsely and have not obeyed HIS WORD. Therefore, THE 
ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "As for them, whose heart walketh after the 
heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will 
recompense their own ways upon their own heads." And as THE 
ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "The carcasses of this people will I give to 
be meat unto the fowls of the heavens and unto the beasts of the 
earth." Thus, the people are being slain by devils and their 
carcasses are being consumed spiritually by those fowls and beasts. 
Beware. 
Please hear what I'm saying. I'm not saying this to try to make 
followers, or for money, or any thing. Just read it and be warned. 
This is The Truth, based on THE EVERLASTING TRUTH WHICH IS GOD'S 
WORD. 
I testify to you, with GOD as my WITNESS, that the mark of the beast 
is not phsical, not a computer chip; the mark of the beast is spiri! 
tual. The mark of the beast is the spiritual "revival" 
spirits in the congregations today. Those who are slain by that 
antichrist spirit, "for the mystery of iniquity doth already 
work," and "even now there are many antichrists", are 
spiritually made into the body of the antichrist, and are therefore 
the number of his name. "And two parts therein shall be cut off 
and die." And herein lies the mystery of the three sixes. For 
those who truly are in CHRIST JESUS are Alive through CHRIST JESUS. 
As "he that hath THE SON hath LIFE." And "we are 
members of HIS BODY, of HIS FLESH and of HIS BONES." And 
"he that is joined to THE LORD is ONE SPIRIT," and is 
married to THE LORD and is in HIS BODY. However, those who are slain 
by the curse, which calls itself Jesus, but is not, are made into the 
curse. Therefore, It Is Written against the congregation! 
s, spiritually called Judah, Jerusalem and Israel "Judah hath 
married the daughter of a strange god." They have transgressed. 
Those who ar! e slain by the curse, which "transformeth himself 
into an angel of LIGHT," are made into the body of the 
antichrist, who will soon be revealed, seeming to bring 
"peace" and "revival" to the middle east and to 
the world, and will look like the abominable "shroud of 
turin" image. Even now, hinn and tbn and such make way for that 
beast "will all power and signs and lying wonders." The 
spirit among them is the spirit of transgression, and they are 
mystery babylon. They cause people to think that the mark of the 
beast is a computer chip, so that people will be slain by the wrath 
in the supposed "revivals" when the antichrist is revealed, 
for they will think that they are "being delivered from wrath to 
come," not realizing that the whole time they are being slain by 
that very wrath. Woe to the devil, "who deceiveth the whole 
world." And how do! 
es he deceive the world? By his apostles, the false apostles, 
"false brethren unawares," for "even now there are 
many antichrists." Now, kno! w this: an antichrist is not one 
who says verbally that there is no GOD. But, an antichrist is one who 
claims to be a servant of JESUS CHRIST, but is not. "For such 
are false apostles, deceitful workers" of satan, and "it is 
no marvel then if his ministers be transformed into the ministers of 
Righteousness, whose ends shall be according to their works." Do 
not think that just because someone swares by The Lord that he then 
is Justified by THE LORD. For devils, which are the spirits of 
antichrist, did even say to JESUS CHRIST "I know THEE WHO THOU 
ART," and "THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE HOLY ONE OF GOD," 
and "Jesus i know, and Paul i know, but who art thou," and 
a woman with a spirit of antichrist followed Paul saying that Paul 
serves "THE MOST HIGH GOD." Even now, the wicked 
"profess that they know GOD, but in works deny HIM, being 
abomina! 
ble and disobedient, and unto every Good Work reprobate." For 
"not the hearers of THE WORD, but the doers of THE WORD are 
justified in THE SIG! HT OF GOD." The wicked false apostles 
sware by THE LORD, but "surely they sware falsely." Beware 
of those wolves in sheeps clothing. Those who are slain by that curse 
among them have transgressed, therefore "in the latter time of 
their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, then 
shall a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences 
stand up." And "an host was given him against THE DAILY 
SACRIFICE by reason of transgression, and they cast down THE TRUTH to 
the ground, and they practised, and they prospered." The people 
are being slain by the mark of the beast, which is the wine of harlot 
mystery babylon. Why? Such is judgement from THE ALMIGHTY GOD. Why? 
THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "Because your fathers have forsaken ME, 
SAITH THE LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have worshipped 
them, and have served! 
them, and have forsaken ME, and have not kept MY LAW." The 
people have gone whoring after devils, and have not sought at THE 
MOUTH OF THE LORD,! but every chooses their own way, and "their 
soul delighteth in their abominations" and "they which lead 
this people cause them to err, and they which are led of them are 
destroyed." Soon the wrath is going to sweep the earth in 
supposed "revival" but such is death, as THE ALMIGHTY GOD 
SAID "I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the 
earth," which "sword" is the curse. Such is first 
kindled upon the congregations, for "Judgement must begin at the 
house of GOD," as THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "Begin at MY 
Sanctuary." Therfore they are slain by devils, and "they 
perish forever without any regarding it." Beware. As THE 
ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "MY people, go out from the midst of her. 
Deliver every man his soul from their fierce anger of THE LORD." 

It is come to pass as THE LORD JESUS CHRIST SAID "When ye shall 
see Jerusalem compassed about with armies, then know that the 
desolation thereof is nigh." This is a mystery, but 
"Jerusalem" here is not just physical Jerusalem, but 
spiritual. The people are compassed about with spiritual armies of 
devils, slaying. "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, 
and be led away captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem shall be 
trodden down by the gentiles until the times of the gentiles be 
fulfilled." So it is today that the people are being slain by 
the sword, which is the spirit of antichrist, which 
"transformeth himself into an angel of Light." Therefore, 
as LORD GOD ALMIGHTY SAID "MY people are destroyed for lack of 
knowledge," as "they perish forever without any regarding 
it." And they are gone into spiritual captivity to devils. Why? 
Because they have "prepared a table for that troop and have 
furnished the drink offering unto that number," therefore they 
shall d! rink ! 
in those devils into their soul, even as the children in the 
wilderness were made to drink in of their idol. Such curse is the 
mark of the beast, the wine of the wrath of GOD. These are Judgements 
from THE ALMIGHTY GOD. Why? As THE LORD GOD SAID "This people 
draweth nigh to ME with their mouths, and with their lips they do 
honour ME, but their hearts are far from ME." For they have 
brought devils into The Sanctuary and have forsaken THE TRUTH OF 
GOD'S WORD. Therefore, THE LORD GOD SAID "As for them, whose 
heart goeth after the heart of their detestable things and their 
abominations, I will recompense their ways upon their own 
heads." As with the children in the wilderness, so to with the 
captivity of babylon, so too with the people today, spiritual Israel. 
"Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, for 
they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the 
pestilence," which curses are the devils among them, which in 
blasphemy they call Holy, but are n! ot. 

Soon the "revival" spirit, which is the mark of the beast 
and the spiritual death, will sweep the earth among the antichrist, 
who will look like the abominable "shroud of turin" image, 
and seem to be Jesus, but is not, and will seem to bring 
"peace" and "revival" to the middle east and to 
the world. However, do not be deceived. Then many will be spiritually 
slain in that spiritual great tribulation-- for the great tribulation 
will seem to bring "peace" to the earth, but "by peace 
many will be destroyed", for great tribulation is spiritual 
wrath already kindled and will increase-- then all denominations will 
be utterly desolate. Here the denominations are called 
"nations:" "For the indignation of THE LORD is upon 
all the nations, and HIS fury is upon all their armies. HE hath 
utterly destroyed them, and hath deliverd them to the slaughter, and 
their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up 
from their carcasses." This "carcasses" and 
"slain" and "slaughte! r! 
" refers to the people being slain by devils, as is already 
kindled, for "the mystery of iniquity doth already work." 
This is Judgement from THE ALMIGHTY GOD, as HE SAID "I have 
poured MY indignation upon them, and I have consumed them in the fire 
of MY wrath. Their own ways I have recompensed upon their own 
heads." For THE WORD OF GOD FORETOLD that the beast would 
"make fire to come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of 
men." Such fire is spiritual death, the mark of the beast, the 
wine of the wrath of GOD. As HE SAID "I created the waster to 
destroy." Do not be deceived. The congregations are uniting, as 
at the tower of babyl, "mystery babylon the great, the mother of 
harlots and abominations of the earth." "These have one 
mind, and shall give their power and their strength unto the 
beast." Therefore "it hath set him on fire round about, yet 
he knew it not; it hath burned him, and he laid it not to 
heart." Why? As THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID "Defile The Temple, 
fill the!! 
courts with the slain." As the children in the wilderness were 
consumed and destroyed for being joined to baal-peor, so to at this 
day The Church Israel is being destroyed, sifted, and "there is 
none end to their corpses." For "Judah hath dealt 
treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Jerusalem and in 
Israel." For the congregations-- called Jerusalem and Israel, 
since The Church is Spiritual Israel-- have gone whoring and have 
forsaken THE WORD OF GOD and they defile The Sanctuary, and 
"Judah hath profaned The Holiness of THE LORD Which HE Loved, 
and hath married the daughter of a strange god." Beware. For 
"Flee for your lives. Be not consumed in the iniquity of the 
city." Flee from babylon, for if any man receive that curse 
which is the mark of the beast in his forehead or in his right hand, 
and worships the antichrist who will be reaveled among them, the same 
"shall drink of the cup of the wine of the wrath of GOD, which 
is poured out without mixture into the cup! 
! of HIS indignation." "And the smoke of their torment 
ascendeth up for ever and ever." A Scattered Remnant, however, 
will be Delivered. 

I'm writing this, not for money, or for any earthly thing, "not 
as pleasing men, but GOD WHO trieth our hearts." This is True, 
based on THE TRUTH WHICH IS GOD'S WORD. GOD IS my Witness. If you 
will not read the whole post, then please read at least the first 
three paragraphs. The "revivals" in the congregations are 
not "revival" but are the spiritual mark of the beast, the 
wine of the wrath of GOD. As THE LORD GOD SAID "I begin to bring 
evil upon the city that is called by MY NAME." These are the 
judgements of GOD as Mentioned in Revelation. Why? THE LORD GOD SAID 
"they have gone after other gods, and have worshipped them and 
have served them." The people have not obeyed THE WORD OF GOD; 
the pastors have defiled The Sanctuary with the abominations; false 
doctrine abounds, and "they have chosen their own paths, and 
their soul delighteth in their abominations." Therefore, in the 
"revivals" they fall down slain, spiritually dead, as KING 
JESUS SAID "Where the carcasses are, ! t! 
here will the eagles be gathered together." And "they 
perish forever without any regarding it." Beware. Also, beware 
of abominable "easter." 

The great tribulation is not phsyical wars, as the 
servants of the devil "who deceiveth the whole 
world" have people thinking; it is the spiritual 
wrath already slaying in the congregations. This is 
the wine of the wrath of mystery babylon the harlot, 
which is the congregations which sware by THE 
LORD'S HOLY NAME falsely. The wicked, such as 
those of tbn, and such movies as "left behind" and 
"megiddo" have people deceived, so that when 
the wicked antichrist is revealed seeming to bring 
"peace and revival" to the middle east and to the 
world, and seeming to be Jesus, but is not, then 
people will be slain by the falsely-called "revival" 
spirits, which is devils, which "transformeth 
himself into an angel of LIGHT." No wonder that 
'the mystery of iniquity doth already work." They 
have the people deceived, so that when that curse 
sweeps the earth, they will be slain, thinking that 
they are being "deliv! ered from the wrath to come," 
yet the whole time they will be being slain by that 
very wrath. Beware. The mark of the beast is the 
curse in the congregations slaying, for "they are 
full of the fury of THE LORD, the rebuke of thy 
GOD." And "they shall fall by the edge of the 
sword, and be led away captive into all the 
nations," which "sword" is that curse among 
them, spiritual, not phsyical. 
These are judgements from THE ALMIGHTY 
GOD, and 'they perish forever without any 
regarding it." Why? THE ALMIGHTY GOD SAID 
"Because your fathers have forsaken ME, SAITH 
THE LORD, and have walked after other gods, 
and have worshipped them, and have served 
them, and have forsaken ME, and have not kept 
MY LAW." For "these be the days of vengeance, 
that all things that are Written may be fulfilled." 
Beware. Do not be deceived by that wicked beast 
and that false-revival spirit which is the spirit of the 
antichrist,! that beast, who "THE LORD shall 
consume with THE SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH and 
destroy with THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING." 
I testify to you, with GOD as my WITNESS, that the 
things that I'm telling you in this are True, based 
on THE WORD OF GOD. "THE TESTIMONY OF 
JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY." THE 
WORD OF GOD IS THE TRUTH FOREVER. 

The spiritual smoke of the curse is coming up out 
of the pit, and will consume the land. This smoke 
is spiritual, not physial. For "through the wrath of 
THE LORD of Hosts is the land darkened." For 
"There is wrath gone out from THE LORD. The 
plague is begun." What am I talking about? When 
you see "revivals, revivals, revivals" know this: it is 
because soon that wicked beast the antichrist is 
going to be revealed, claiming to be Jesus, but is 
not, and looking like the abominable "shroud of 
turin" type images, and seeming to bring "peace" 
and "revival" to the middle east and to the world. 
Do not be deceived. The spirit that is in the 
congregations slaying today is the spiritual mark 
of the beast, the number of his name. Please do 
not be ignorant of the fact that those who are in 
THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST are made into 
HIS BODY, for "He that is joined to THE LORD is 
one Spirit." But, if a man is touched! by the slain 
curse in the falsely-called "revivals" he is made 
into the beast, the number of his name. Even now, 
in the congregations, the wrath is slaying, making 
way for the wicked one, "even him whose coming 
is after the working of satan with all power and 
signs and lying wonders." These things are the 
judgements from THE ALMIGHTY GOD, and soon 
the curse will sweep the earth, and many will be 
slain. For "Darkness shall cover the earth, and 
gross darkness the people." As THE LORD GOD 
SAID "Lo, I begin to bring evil upon the city that is 
called by MY NAME," and "I will call for a sword 
upon all the inhabitants of the earth." Let us think 
spiritually-minded, and know that the "sword" 
mentioned here is not a physical sword, but is the 
sword of the curse. It is the mark of the beast, 
spiritual death, and the wicked beast will pour it 
upon the world, for soon THE ALMIGHTY GOD will 
cast the devils out o! f the heavens, and then the 
devils, disguised as angels of LIGHT, will be 
slaying, for "he knoweth that he hath but a short 
time." 

Why such judgements? THE LORD GOD SAID 
"Surely, because your fathers have forsaken ME, 
SAITH THE LORD, and have walked after other 
gods, and have worshipped them, and have 
served them, and have forsaken ME, and have not 
kept MY LAW." Because the congregations have 
sworn by THE LORD JESUS' NAME falsely and 
have not obeyed HIS WORD, and have defiled HIS 
Sanctuary with wickedness, therefore THE 
ALMIGHTY GOD has caused that "they perish 
forever without any regarding it." And it shall be 
that the beast will "maketh fire to come down from 
heaven on the earth in the sight of men." This 
"fire" is the wrath, and is already kindled in the 
congregation, as the congregations are become 
mystery babylon, spiritual sodom and gomorrah, 
which makes all "the nations have drunk of the 
wine of the wrath of her fornication." Beware lest 
you be touched and spiritually murdere by the 
curse, for "it hath set him on fire ! round about, yet 
he knew it not; it hath burned him, yet he laid it not 
to heart." For "The time is come that judgement 
must begin at The House of GOD." Why do you 
suppose that KING JESUS SAID "Think not that I 
AM come to send peace on the earth; I came not 
to send peace, but a sword," And again THE 
LORD JESUS SAYS "I AM come to set fire on the 
earth, and what will I if it be already kindled?" 
Such "fire" and "sword" will sweep the earth in 
the 
falsely-called "revivals" which will seem like 
physical peace on the earth, but "by peace many 
shall be destroyed." Such will be great tribulation, 
not physical wars which only help to make way, 
but after that time shall come to pass that "The 
Day of THE LORD shall come as a thief in the 
night, in the which the heavens shall pass away 
with A Great Noise, and the elements shall melt 
with A Fervent Heat, and the earth also and the 
works that are therein shall be! burned up." 
Beware. THE LORD GOD SAID "MY people, go out 
from the midst of her. Deliver every man his soul 
from the fierce anger of THE LORD." 

-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
---- 
It is come to pass as THE LORD GOD SAID "The 
carcasses of this people will I give to be meat 
unto the fowls of the heavens, and the beasts of 
the earth." When the people in the congregations 
fall down slain, it is because it is as the servant of 
THE LORD Said "The time is come that 
judgement must begin at The House of GOD." 
When one is slain by the curse, they are spiritually 
defiled, and made into the body of the devils 
among them. Even as those who are truly in 
CHRIST JESUS are made into JESUS are thereby 
cleansed by JESUS, so he that is joined to the 
devil is condemed. Hence THE SCRIPTURE that 
says they "shall bear the shame of their idols." 
Beware of the congregations, for THE LORD GOD 
has sent the spiritual sword, famine, pestilence 
and curse, as told in REVELATION and all through 
THE WORD OF GOD. Why? THE LORD GOD 
! SAID "Because your fathers have forsaken ME, 
SAITH THE LORD, and have walked after other 
gods, and have worshipped them, and have 
served them, and have forsaken ME," and the 
people have sworn by HIS NAME falsely, drawing 
nigh with the mouth, but being alienated by the 
idols in their hearts. 

"He that is joined to THE LORD Is ONE SPIRIT" 
and lives through THE CLEANSING BLOOD OF 
JESUS. Thus, "He that hath THE SON hath LIFE." 
However, he that is slain by the curse has death, 
and "the wrath of GOD abideth on him." Beware 
lest you be slain, for "they perish forever without 
any regarding it." And "there is a sin unto death." 
The spirits among hinn, tbn, etc, are the spirits of 
mystery babylon, the wine of wrath, and it shall be 
that that curse increase upon the earth, even as 
the physical waters of Noah's days did increase. 
Then shall be done "the curse hath devoured the 
earth." These things are kindled in the 
congregations first, for "THE LORD shall judge 
HIS people." Please, for your own soul's sake, 
flee from the curse, for the congregations are 
become mystery babylon, spiritual sodom and 
gomorrah, and it shall be that "all the nations have 
drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." 

Remember that those in the wilderness were 
baptized in the water, and ate of that meat of 
manna, which represented THE LORD, and they 
drank of the water out of the rock, which Rock 
Represents THE LORD. But, then they sinned, 
and rejoiced and made the calf. They thought they 
were worshipping THE LORD, saying "These be 
thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of 
the land of egypt." Do not be ignorant of the 
meaning of this. For THE LORD JESUS Redeems 
HIS people "out of egypt, out of the house of 
bondage." And then they built an altar, and said 
"tomorrow is a feast to The Lord." They thought 
they were worshipping THE LORD, even as the 
people now think when they rejoice among the 
devils. It is because, as the servant of THE LORD 
Said, the devils "transformeth himself into an 
angel of LIGHT." But, the people offered burnt 
offering and "brought peace offerings; and the 
people sat down to eat and dr! ink, and rose up to 
play." They were made naked in the sight of their 
enemies, and they corrupted themselves. These 
enemies are the devils among them, and such 
nakedness is a representation of the spiritual 
nakedness that people become in the 
congregations. Even as THE LORD JESUS 
Warned against spiritual nakedness of the curse, 
by SAYING "Blessed is he who watcheth, and 
keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and 
they see his shame." Now, Moses "took the calf 
which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and 
ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the 
water, and made the children of Israel drink of it." 
The fact that he burnt the calf in fire and then 
made them to drink of it is representative of the 
fact that today the people drink into their souls the 
fire of the spiritual death. It indeed is come to 
pass as THE LORD GOD SAID "Behold, I will 
send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which 
shal! l not be charmed, and they shall bite you, 
SAITH THE LORD." The people in the wilderness 
thought they were saved, as evidenced by their 
passing through the cloud, and eating and drink 
of the manna and water-- which represents 
Baptism-- yet, they were consumed because they 
worshipped not in TRUTH. So it is today. Don't say 
"we have CHRIST JESUS as our intercessor 
now." Because THE LORD GOD SAID "I will not 
justify the wicked." Indeed, if a man is touched by 
the curse, then he does not have THE LORD 
JESUS CHRIST. Moses was a figure of CHRIST 
and tried to plead for the people's forgiveness. 
But, what did GOD SAY? "Whosoever hath sinned 
against ME, him will I blot out of MY Book." And 
again, THE ALMIGHTY SAID "Nevertheless, in the 
day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them." And 
again "And THE LORD plagued the people, 
because they made the calf, which Aaron made." 
Even today, there is spiritual pl! ague among the 
congregations. As THE LORD GOD SAID "I will 
send among them four kinds: the sword to slay, 
the dogs to tear, the fowls of the heavens, and the 
beasts of the earth." Such "fowls, dogs, beasts, 
and sword" are the curse. Beware. Indeed, "take 
heed to thy soul diligently." And "take heed to 
thyself, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn 
aside after other gods and serve them." If you 
drink in the cup of the idols, then you become 
accursed like them. Man cannot drink of THE CUP 
OF THE LORD and of the cup of devils. And here 
is as Moses Told the people, "THE LORD your 
GOD does set before you this day Life and death, 
a Blessing and a curse." 

Learn another lesson from THE LORD GOD'S 
WORD, for "these are given us as examples, that 
we should not lust after evil things as they also 
lusted." THE LORD GOD did send the 
babylonians-- a figure of the devils-- among the 
people, and they slew them with the sword, and 
took them into captivity. So it is at this day: the 
people are gone into spiritual captivity, as they are 
made under the curse of THE LAW, since the 
devils are the curse, and they are slain by the 
spiritual sword. Beware. Indeed, "Flee for your 
lives. Be not consumed in the iniquity of the city." 
As THE LORD GOD SAID "MY people, go out from 
the midst of her. Deliver every man his soul from 
the fierce anger of THE LORD." 

Learn another Lesson. Numbers 25. The 
moabites "called the people unto the sacrifices of 
their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed 
down to their gods." And "Israel joined himself 
unto baal-peor: and the anger of THE LORD was 
kindled against Israel." How were they joined to 
baal, a devil? By being touched spiritually by the 
devils. Again, "they twain shall be one flesh." 
Those who are in CHRIST JESUS are made into 
HIS BODY, as It Is Written "We are members of 
HIS BODY, of HIS FLESH and of HIS BONES." 
However, those who are touched by the devils are 
joined to the devils. Again, what did THE LORD 
GOD SAY? HE COMMANDED "Slay ye every one 
his men that were joined unto baal-peor." They 
were defiled, even as at this day, and they are 
being slain now by that curse, even as they were 
to be physically slain today. Here is 
Understanding of THE SCRIPTURE "And when 
HE had opened the fourth seal, I heard th! e voice 
of the fourth beast say, 'Come and see.'" "And I 
looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name 
that sat on him was death, and hell followed with 
him. And power was given unto them over the 
fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword, and 
with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts 
of the earth." 

Why has THE LORD GOD brought such 
Judgements upont the congregations that they be 
destroyed? Because the people have dealt 
treacherously against THE WORD OF GOD; they 
draw nigh with the mouth, but their hearts are far 
from THE LORD. THE LORD GOD SAID "For the 
iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and 
smote him." Indeed, the people are drawn after 
covetousness, and idols of devils, they make lies 
saying "healing, miracle" when they have done 
none; none calls for Justice, or pleads for GOD'S 
HOLY WORD in TRUTH. Indeed, THE LORD GOD 
SAID "When they had slain their children unto their 
idols, then they came the same day into MY 
House, to defile It." Because of the wickedness of 
the people, therefore the congregations will be 
utterly spiritually burned and desolate. THE LORD 
GOD SAID "Thou shalt not murder" and yet the 
people murder with spiritual death by slaying. 
Indeed "There is a conspiracy of t! he prophets in 
the midst thereof. As a roaring lion ravening the 
prey, the devour souls." And THE LORD GOD 
COMMANDED "Thou shalt not cause thy seed to 
pass through the fire unto molech" yet the people 
are slain and cause their seed to be slain. And 
THE LORD GOD SAID "Thou shalt not lie" and yet 
the people lie against THE HOLY SPIRIT, saying 
"healing, healing, healing," when there has been 
none, as they make entrance for the beast who 
will be among those false apostles, claming to be 
Jesus, but is not. Woe to him, "even him whose 
coming is after the working of satan with all power 
and signs and lyings wonders," which lying signs 
and wonders the wicked false apostles already 
do for the covetousness of their idolatrous hearts. 
"Covetousness is idolatry." And THE LORD GOD 
SAID "Thou shalt have no gods before ME," yet the 
congregations worship devils. And THE LORD 
GOD SAID "Thou shalt not commit adultery,! " and 
yet the people are spiritually defiled and commit 
adultery against THE LORD WHO IS THE 
HUSBAND of THE TRUE CHURCH. As It Is 
Written to THE TRUE CHURCH "Thy HUSBAND IS 
thy MAKER; THE LORD OF HOSTS IS HIS NAME." 
Indeed, all THE COMMANDMENTS the 
congregations of this world have broken. 
Therefore THE LORD GOD SAID "I have poured 
MY indignation upon them, and I have consumed 
them in the fire of MY wrath. Their own ways have I 
recompensed upon their own heads." Who will 
plead the cause of the wicked who sin willfully 
against THE WORD OF THE LORD? None. As It 
Is Written "Thou shalt not sware take THE NAME 
OF THE LORD thy GOD in vain. HE will not hold 
him guiltless who taketh HIS NAME in vain." The 
congregations will be utterly spiritually desolate, 
as THE LORD GOD SAID "I have given The Dearly 
Beloved of MY SOUL into the hands of her 
enemies." "So fell they all by the sword." Only a 
small Remn! ant will be left. But, "when THE SON 
of man cometh, will HE find so much as Faith 
upon the earth?" 

Beware. Flee from the congregations. "Flee from 
idolatry." And "Little children, keep yourselves from 
idols." The congregations are in a Mystery Called 
Jerusalem, for The True Church is The True 
Israel, for "he is not a Jew which is one outwardly, 
neither is that circumcision outward in the flesh, 
but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly, and the 
circumcision is inward in the heart, in the spirit, 
and not to the letter, whose praise is not of men, 
but of GOD." Therefore, Understand that it is come 
to pass as THE KING JESUS SAID "When you 
shall see Jerusalem compassed about with 
armies, know that the desolation thereof is nigh." 
Such armies are devils slaying with the sword. 
But, KING JESUS SAID "They shall fall by the edge 
of the sword, and be led away captive into all the 
nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by 
the gentiles until the times of the gentiles be 
fulfilled." Indeed, the people are b! eing slain by the 
spiritual sword of devils, and are being led into 
spiritual captivity, and the spiritual Church-- called 
Jerusalem-- is being defiled by the uncircumcised 
in heart, the heathen. "The Holy City shall they 
tread under foot forty and two months." Woe to 
those who betray THE LORD JESUS CHRIST into 
the hands of the world with a kiss. "It would have 
been good for that man if he had never been 
born," KING JESUS SAID. Woe to the pastors and 
"evangelists" who "through covetousness shall 
make merchandise of you." 
Indeed, THE LORD SAID "They which lead this 
people cause them to err, and they which are led 
of them are destroyed." And THE LORD GOD 
SAID "MY people are destroyed for lack of 
Knowledge;" for they are destroyed because they 
do not know THE ADMONISHES OF THE LORD to 
"try the spirits" and "flee from idolatry." 

The end is close at hand. Soon the curse that is in 
the congregation will sweep the earth, and then 
shall be done as THE ALMIGHTY SAID "I will call 
for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth." 
Because "they have transgressed THE LAW, 
changed THE ORDINANCE, and broken THE 
EVERLASTING COVENANT." Beware of mystery 
babylon, for it is the congregation, and they are 
hold of every foul bird and a cage of every unclean 
spirit. Soon THE ALMIGHTY will cast the devils 
down from the heavens, then shall be done that 
"the devil hath great wrath, because he knoweth 
that he hath but a short time." And then the curse 
will flood the earth, as the devil will seek to "make 
away many," and then shall the beast appear 
among the false apostles, claiming to be Jesus, 
but is not, and will look like the abominable 
"shroud of turin" type images and will seem to 
bring "peace" to the middle east and to the world. 
But "! by peace many will be destroyed." Beware 
that you not be deceive: for the spiritual curse is 
the mark of the beast, for those slain by it are 
made into the number of his name. And those 
who receive it in their spiritual hand or forehead 
are accursed with it, and shall have their part in 
the lake of fire which burns with brimstone "where 
their worm dieth not, and the fire is never 
quenched, and they shall be an abhorring to all 
flesh." Who will conspire or contend with GOD? 
Surely, "There is no Wisdom, nor Strength, nor 
Counsel against GOD." 

Beware. The end is at hand. When the curse 
sweeps the earth, it will seem like peace, but "by 
peace many will be destroyed." Such is the time of 
great tribulation, and many will be spiritually killed 
by the curse. "Until the end of the war, floods are 
determined," which floods are spiritual curse. 
Beware. Then shall come the end, for "The Day of 
THE LORD will come as a thief in the night, in the 
which the heavens shall pass away with A Great 
Noise, and the elements shall melt with A Fervent 
Heat, and the earth also and the works that are 
therein shall be burned up." And then will the 
wicked false apostles see THE LORD WHO by 
their swearing by HIS NAME falsely they have 
pierced, and they shall cry unto their idols, saying 
"fall on us." But THE LORD GOD SAID "Let thy 
companies deliver thee. But the wind shall take 
hold on them," and none shall be able "to deliver 
in The Day of THE LORD'S wrath." Indeed,! the day 
of the furnace hastens near, and the wicked shall 
be as stubble. "Alas for the day, for The Day of 
THE LORD Is at hand, and as A Destruction from 
THE ALMIGHTY shall it come." 

If any man is wise, then depart from death. Only a 
scattered Remnant will be Delivered. But, woe to 
the wicked! "Depart, I pray ye, from among the 
tents of these wicked men, and touched not of 
theirs, lest thou be consumed in all their sins." 
Beware of the curse. "Flee from idolatry." "There is 
a sin unto death." And "The end shall be at the 
time appointed." 

Blessed be THE NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD 
WHO taketh the wise in their own counsel; 
Blessed be THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, 
ETERNAL, THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, THE 
CREATOR or Heavens and the earth. "HOLY AND 
REVERAND IS HIS NAME." Blessed is THE NAME 
OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FOREVER and 
Ever.

OH stop, yet again do I have to refute this foolishness? 
Well, I'll just give you the short version. 

1.) Jer. 10 is talking about those who carve Idols. 
2.) People don't pray to Chrismas trees. 
3.) Using the "LOGIC" I hear from people who believe stuff like this, anyone who had houseplants, portraits, candles, still-lifes, or knick-nacks are idolators, since all of these things had, at one point in time, been involved in various types of Idolatry. 
4.) Idolatry is a SERIOUS charge, and you had better besure of your case before you go postal making accusations like this. 

Hamilton 

That is the short version, trust me, you don't want the long version.

Hi,

From reading Jasons post it is evident that he is focusing on the Spiritual act of Worship.

It is possible to have All of the Christmas stuff yet not have Jesus and I think this is what he is rightly addressing with his post.

I agree it is best to have Jesus and all of the Christmas stuff that to the Christian represents Jesus.

Tree  Jesus is the Tree of Life

Lights  Jesus is the Light of the world

Fireplace  Jesus is the warmth and light in a cold dark world

Music  Jesus is the High Note the world longs to hear

Fruits, Candy, Nuts  Jesus is the treat to the world

Festivities  Jesus is the Joy of Fellowship 

Etc.

God Bless you,
David

This spam showed up at my forum.  We chose to ignore it.

But I have to say that I love your response, the way you put Jesus into the objects that we associate with Christmas.

Much is said about the fact that Christmas falls on a Pagan holiday, but I say that EVERY day can be made Jesus' day.  There are a lot of days that are non-Christian holidays or festivals, yet we can make them holy days, by making every day a day for praise and communion with God.  It's just up to us to make the choice to do so.

Peace and love -

The Real Meaning Of Christmas

Just a week before Christmas I had a visitor.  This is how it happened I just finished the household chores for the night and was preparing to go to bed when I heard a noise in the front of the house.

 I opened the door to the front room, and to my surprise, Santa himself stepped out from behind the Christmas tree.  He placed his finger over his mouth so I would not cry out.  "What are you doing?"  I started to ask him.  The words choked in my throat, as I saw he had tears in his eyes.  His usual jolly manner was gone.  Gone was the eager boisterous soul we all know.  He then answered me with a simple statement, TEACH THE CHILDREN!

I was puzzled: What did he mean?  He anticipated my question, and with one quick movement brought forth a miniature toy bag from behind the tree.  As I stood there bewildered, Santa said, Teach the Children! Teach them the old meaning of Christmas.  The meaning that a now-a-day Christmas has forgotten!

Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR TREE and placed it on the mantle.  Teach the Children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round, depicting the everlasting hope of mankind.  All the needles point heavenward, making it a symbol of man's thoughts turning toward heaven.

He again reached into his bag and pulled out a brilliant STAR.  Teach the Children that the star was the heavenly sign of promises long ago.   God promised a Savior for the world, and the star was the sign of fulfillment of that promise.

He then reached into the bag and pulled out a CANDLE.  Teach the Children that the candle symbolizes that Christ is the light of the world, and when we see this great light we are reminded of He who displaces the darkness.

Once again he reached into his bag and then removed a WREATH and placed it on the tree.  Teach the Children that the wreath symbolizes the eternal nature of love.  Real love never ceases.  Love is one continuous round of affection.

He then pulled out from his bag an ornament of HIMSELF.  Teach the Children that Santa Claus symbolizes the generosity and good will we feel during the month of December.

He reached in again and pulled out a HOLLY LEAF.  Teach the Children the holly plant represents immortality.  It represents the crown of thorns worn by our Savior.  The red holly berries represent blood shed by Him. 

Next he pulled out a GIFT from the bag and said, "Teach the Children that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.  Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift. Teach the Children that the wise men bowed before the holy babe and presented Him with gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  We should give gifts in the same spirit as the wise men." 

Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a CANDY CANE and hung it on the tree.  Teach the Children that the candy cane represents the shepherd's crook.  The crook on the shepherd's staff helps bring back strayed sheep from the flock.  The candy cane is the symbol that we are our brother's keeper. 

He reached in again and pulled out an ANGEL.  Teach the Children that it was the angels that heralded in the glorious news of the Savior's birth.  The angels sang 'Glory to God in the highest, on earth, ...[Message truncated]
