Santa Claus the Great Imposter by Terry Watkins . . . thy years are throughout all generations. (Psalm 102:24) Where did Santa come from? How did Santa get here? When did Santa magically appear? Like, Melchisedec (which most Bible students believe to be a reference to the incarnate Jesus Christ), Santa Claus is like the Son of God, Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God;. . . Hebrews 7:3 Santa is from everlasting to everlasting. His years are throughout all generations. Possessing the attribute of an eternal God, Santa . . . thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. He has no beginning. He has no end. Like God Almighty, Santa is eternal. The famous editorial, Yes, Virginia There is a Santa Claus, written by Francis P. Church and published in The New York Sun on September 21, 1897 to 8-year-old Virginia OHanlon, ends with the following words: No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. (Francis P. Church Yes, Virginia There is a Santa Claus, The New York Sun, September 21, 1897) Psalm 93:1-2 1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. 2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. Habakkuk 1:12 Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction. Psalm 102:24-27 24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. 25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: 27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. . . .I will pour out my spirit. . . (Proverbs 1:23) The Christmas Spirit? And yes, Santa has his own spirit. The Christmas spirit. . . The Spirit of Christmas Isn’t that a little strange? Gene Autry’s famous song Here Comes Santa Claus begins with the words, Speakin of Christmas spirit Ring a bell? . . . John 14:16-17 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Galatians 4:6 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 1 John 4:1-3 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world Come, ye children. . . I will teach you the fear of. . . (Psalm 34:11) Santa Claus. . . You better watch out, You better not cry You better not pout, Im telling you why Santa Claus is comin to town Hes making a list, Hes checking it twice Hes gonna find out Whos naughty or nice Children the world over are taught to FEAR Santa. You’d better go to bed little boy – Santa is watching. Millions of fearful children are told, You’d better behave. Santa is watching. You might not get anything for Christmas. Would not Psalm 76:7 certainly apply to Santa Claus in the eyes of most children? Psalm 76:7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of the Christian faith. As is the fear of Santa is the beginning of the faith of Santa. Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:. . . While our children should be taught the fear of the Lord, most are taught the sacrilegious fear of the false god of Santa. Psalm 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
