Santa Claus is Biblical!

From Zechariah 2:6:

"Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD." (KJV)

See, the Lord has spread Santa abroad, that's how he is able to get around all the houses in just one night. Thus saith the Lord!

And look at the next verse 7:

"Deliver thyself..." (In the original Hebrew it means "bring presents")

If you were to read the Holy Bible in Spanish, what would you read?

And look at the next verse 7:

OK then, who is after knowing the correct interpretation of this verse especially in the time that we live .


and one thing is for sure it is not refering to santa



many things happened to Gods people back in centuries past , and they had Gods protection .


but NOW, in this time of the end, many things are happening to Gods people , and it leads to Gods protection.


and its all about fleeing and getting out of somewhere .


And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. REVELATION 18;4



I HAVE HEEDED THE COMMAND TO FLEE AND GET OUT OF HER , have you?

Re: Santa Claus is Biblical!

mee, this is what is known as a joke.

But now that you mention it, I do like the following verses in the same passage:

"Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee." - Zech. 2:10-11

YES,i also like those verses,

especially verse 11
(Psalm 22:27) All the ends of the earth will remember and turn back to Jehovah. And all the families of the nations will bow down before you.



(Isaiah 2:2) And it must occur in the final part of the days [that] the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it all the nations must stream.



(Zechariah 8:23) “This is what Jehovah of armies has said, ‘It will be in those days that ten men out of all the languages of the nations will take hold, yes, they will actually take hold of the skirt of a man who is a Jew, saying: “We will go with YOU people, for we have heard [that] God is with YOU people.”’”


of cause in this time of the end it is refering to SPIRITUAL JEWS



(Matthew 28:19) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit,

What is the effect of Santa Claus, of secular Christmas on Christianity?

Or the obverse, what is the effect of denying Christmas and Santa Claus on Christianity?

I mean, is Santa a baby step for many to explore Christianity further, or does it detract from and/or ridicule/water down the thought?
