At this time every year, there are scores of posts on Facebook and other social media slamming Christmas as a pagan holiday that has nothing to do with Christ or His Nativity. They cite many different arguments to prove this point. But God has shown me through His Spirit that these arguments are patently false!
In fact, December 25th is the Solar equivalent of Kislev 25 on the Jewish calendar, and this is the first day of Hanukkah. That is why it's no coincidence that the 12 days of Christmas and the 8 days of Hannukah often coincide. Besides this correlation, the fact that Yeshua's Nativity is tied to Hanukkah makes sense because:
1. Since Yeshua was likely born around the time of the Feast of Tabernacles in September of 3 BC, Yeshua was likely conceived 280 days prior, which was at the time of Hanukkah in the previous year. (Note: 280 days is the average length of human gestation.)
2. Since scripture tells us that Yeshua was a toddler when the Wise Men arrived on Bethlehem, they had to have arrived about 15 months after He was born, and that would have been in December - right around the time of Hanukkah.

3. Many scholars point to a conjunction of Jupiter with another planet or star as being tied to the Star of Bethlehem, and between the Hanukkah of 4 BC, when Yeshua was likely conceived, and the Hanukkah of 1 BC, when the Wise Men likely found Yeshua in Bethlehem, Jupiter was in Leo and Virgo, the two Heavenly Signs tied to Yeshua as the First and the Last, and the Beginning and the End.

4. Hanukkah was not established by God, but by the Jews as a minor Feast day to celebrate the miracle of the Temple menorah burning for eight days without any oil replenishment. Similarly, Christmas was established by Christ's followers as a celebration of the miracle of His conception, birth and discovery, and how they were all tied to Hanukkah.
5. Christmas and Hanukkah are both celebrations of God's Light coming into the world, and Yeshua is the Light of the World, just as His disciples are spiritual lights in this world.
All of these facts are consistently ignored by those who slam both Christmas and Resurrection Sunday as pagan. They slander and deceive those who have not asked God and searched the scriptures for truth. Even well-meaning Believers in Yeshua - who have drawn too near to the Messianic Jewish movement that is Torah observant and very critical of anything that they deem as unsupported by their erroneous interpretation of the New Testament scriptures - are spreading these falsehoods.
If you understand and agree with what I am saying here, please voice your objections to these decrees that Christmas is pagan whenever you see them! Tell others what you know about the true meaning of Christmas instead of passing these antagonistic posts by. Everyone needs to be made aware of how deceitful these posts are!
