4.. The date of Christ's birth has never been a secret
The fourth logical reason why Christians should not celebrate Christmas it is because the popular teaching to support the Christmas theory is that, no one knows the exact date of Christ's birth which is both erroneous and deceptive. Unfortunately, “if the date of Christ's birth is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them” 2Corinthians 4:4).
If
the date of Christ's birth is unknown as most deceivers have said and led so
many to believe it is unknown because of the huge cloud of deception that is
hanging over the entire world and because of the denial and rejection of Jesus
Christ by those who knew Him for it is written; “Now some of them from
Jerusalem said, "Is this not He whom they seek to kill? Look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing
to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ? The response
of those who rejected and denied Him as being the Christ said; “we know where
this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is
from."
Then
Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me,
and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me
is true, whom you do not know. But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent
Me" (John 7:25-29).
Here
we see where the idea of no one knows the date of Christ’s birth came from.
Imagine now, in the middle of winter people who profess to know Jesus Christ
are delighted in singing “Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born
king” when the time the angels sang glory to the new born King the shepherds were
outside in the fields keeping watch over their flocks.
In
addition to this, how can professing Christians have blinded their eyes to the
festival designated and ordained specifically for the worship and adoration of
the King of kings and Lord of lords and which is intertwined with the biblical
Feast of Tabernacles when the scripture clearly states: “And it shall come to
pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem
shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to
keep the Feast of Tabernacles?” (Zechariah 14:16)
What
is so difficult in this scripture for one who professes to believe in Jesus
Christ to understand and believe! And remember, Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday, today and forever?
And
since Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever one should take
into deep consideration and consequences for not worshiping the King of kings
and Lord of lord and keep the Feast of Tabernacles which is stated as follows:
“And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to
Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no
rain. If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no
rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who
do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment
of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the
Feast of Tabernacles” (Zechariah 14:17-19).
I therefore beg to ask the question, since there is a biblical festival designated or ordained for the specific purpose of commemorating the King of kings and Lord of lords who is this feast honoring and what is the rationale for observing this festival?
