"Christmas: --The Sun God, Lies, Deceptions and the Truth"
by Fahim A. Knight
This brief article is on the origin of Christmas and its so-called
correlation to the SUN GOD concept, which the western parable of Jesus
originated; moreover, December 25 is the BIRTH OF THE SUN GOD and in
reality, this fabrication and/or truth has nothing to do with the Historical
and Prophetic man called Jesus (there are actually two Jesus, perhaps
another subject for another time) and this propaganda is continually being
perpetuated in the name of tradition. But the beneficiaries of the Christmas
tradition have always been the merchant class in the United States and
around the world, which accumulates over 75% of their annual gross sales and
financial profits during the month of December.
Allauddin Shabazz in his book titled, "Symbolism, Holidays, Myths and Signs"
The word "Christmas" means "Mass of Christ," or as it came to be shortened,
'Christ-mas.' It came to non-Christians and Protestant from the Roman
Catholic Church. And where did they get it?---NOT from the New
Testament---NOT from the Bible-NOT from the original apostles who were
personally instructed by Christ-but it gravitated in the fourth century into
the Roman Church from paganism"
Tradition reaps in huge monetary gains and that HIDDEN HAND who do not
believe in Christmas or Jesus---THEIR GOD IS MONEY and WE SHOULD CALL THEIR
HOLY "PROFIT" GREED. This writer, wonders do the SUN-DAY School teachers
admonish that the worship of the SUN was replaced with the divinity and
worship of the SON popular associated with the man named Jesus. This article
should not be viewed as an attack on the faith--tradition of Christianity,
But like the Reggae Revolutionary Artist Bob Marley's use to sing "NONE CAN
FREE OUR MINDS, BUT OURSELVES."
Allauddin Shabazz book validates this contention relative to the
commercialization and the nonreligious connection Christmas has with the
birth of Jesus; in his small, but powerful book titled, "Symbolism,
Holidays, Myths and Signs" he stated, "Christmas has become a commercial
season. It's sponsored, kept alive, by the heaviest retail advertisement
campaigns of the year. You see a masqueraded "Santa Claus" in many stores.
Ads keep the masses deluded and deceived about the 'beautiful Christmas
spirit.' The newspaper, who sells ads, print flowery editorials exalting and
eulogizing the pagan season, and spirit. Gullible people have become so
inoculated, many take offense when told the truth. But the 'Christmas
spirit' is created each year, not to honor Christ, but to sell merchandise!"
(reference: Symbolism, Holidays, Myths and Signs" by Allauddin Shabazz).
This writer understand and humbly accept that a 4000 word thesis places
serious limitations on a subject of this magnitude where scholars such as:
Gerald Massey, Albert Churchward, E.A. Wallis Budge, Josef Ben Jochannan,
Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Godfrey Higgins, John G.Jackson, Kersey Graves, Cheikh Anta Diop, Manly P. Hall, John Henrik Clarke,Jacob Boehme, Arthur Edward Waite, G.R.S. Mead, Louis H.Spencer, H.G. Wells, H.P. Blavatsky, Ishakamusa Barashango, J.Van
Rijckenborgh, Albert Pike, George Oliver, J.S.M. Ward, etc., have spent many
years researching and writing scholarly treatise on the above subject.
This thumbnail sketch, is by no means, written to represent a definitive and
exhaustive study on the this subject; there are to many links, which expand
the schools of thought of esoteric, religious, philosophical, occult,
metaphysical science and the truth extends to many cultures, far beyond the
limitations of this research could ever begin to address. But it should not
be viewed that the author perhaps does not understand the depth and
complexity of this subject pertaining to Jesus, a god of the Sun and the
origin of Christmas.
E. Curtis Alexander (aka Mwalimu I. Mwadilifu) in an essay titled, "African
Foundations of Christendom" he stated, "Christendom began as a Council of
Bishops in Nicea, a city in Bithynia, in Asia Minor on the southside of the
Black Sea. The Council was convened by the Roman Emperor Constantine. Many
events took place at this Council and the formation of many theological and
theosophical doctrines were established such as the Patriarchal doctrine of the Trinity, the name of JESUS, THE Virgin Birth and perhaps the biggest act was making of the Bible.The books that were not canonical at this Council are known to us today as "Lost Books of the Bible' and the 'Forgotten Books of Eden' " (Reference:"African Foundations of Christendom" by E. Curtis Alexander).
In a book compiled by William Josiah Sutton titled, "The Illuminati 666"
stated, "There is no scriptural evidence that supports the Birth of Christ
as being December 25th; but history says December 25th was kept thousands of
years before the Birth of Christ, in honor of the pagan Messiah. Another
name for Tammuz, the pagan-child, was 'Baal-bereth' which means Lord of the
Fir Tree." (Reference: "The Illuminati 666" by William Josiah Sutton).
The majority of the scholarship on this subject totally contradicts the
Christian version of the man known as Jesus Christ, but reaffirms this story
within the scheme of historical and mythological allegory, metaphors,
symbolism, prototypes, similes, etc. There is a sizable amount of precedent
evidence which informs us that the entire story of Jesus, as far as, his
birth, death, resurrection, and ascension were not concepts indigenous to
European cultures, it flourished in that region of the world after they came
in contact with Ancient Egypt (Kemet).They borrowed the Solar God concept
from Egypt.
(Reference: "Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World" by Gerald Massey).
John G. Jackson in his enlighten book titled, "Ethiopia and the Origin of
Civilization" stated, "A study of the images of ancient deities of both the
Old and New Worlds reveals their Ethiopic origin.
Thus is noted by Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie in T.A. Buckley's CITIES OF THE
ANCIENT WORLD, p. 180:--'From the wooly texture of the hair, I am inclined
to assign to the Buddha of India, the Fuhi of China, the Sommonacom of the
Siamese, Xaha of the Japanese, the Quetzalcoatl of the Mexicans, the same,
and indeed an African, or rather Nubian, origin.'
Jackson continues on to state, "most of the black gods were regarded as
crucified saviors who died to save mankind by being nailed to a cross, or
tied to a tree with arms outstretched as if on a cross, or slain violently
in some other manner. Of these Crucified SAVIORS, THE MOST PROMINENT WERE
OSIRIS, AND HORUS OF EGYPT, KRISHNA OF INDIA, MITHRA OF PERSIA, QUETZALCOATL
OF MEXICO, ADDONIS OF BABYLONIA AND ATTIS OF PHRYGIA. NEARLY ALL OF THESE
SLAIN SAVIOR-GODS HAVE THE FOLLOWING STORIES RELATED ABOUT THEM:---THEY ARE
BORN OF A VIRGIN, ON OR NEAR DEC.25TH (CHRISTMAS); THEIR BIRTH ARE HERALDED
BY A STAR; THEY ARE BORN EITHER IN A CAVE OR STABLE; THEY ARE SLAIN,
COMMONLY BY CRUCIFIXION; THEY DESCEND INTO HELL, AND RISE FROM THE DEAD AT
THE BEGINNING OF SPRING (EASTER) AND FINALLY ASCEND INTO HEAVEN."
(Reference: "Ethiopia and the Origin of Civilization" by John G.
Jackson).
There is an overwhelming of historical evidence that the worship of the SUN
GOD (which was celebrated by many names depending upon the culture and
nation) Jesus was a story of antiquity that had played out on the stage of
human civilization some thousands of years before the birth of Jesus who
lived 2000 years ago and before Constantine concocted and devised the
Christian Creed, which was designed to control how Christianity would be
disseminated, as well as theologically protect the half-truths, distortions,
and outright lies. They lied on Jesus, the Christ. (Reference: "The
Historical Origin of Christianity" by Walter Williams).
Wikipedia online research engine stated, "December 25 was also considered to
be the date of the winter solstice, which the Romans called bruma. It was
therefore the day the Sun proved itself to be "unconquered" despite the
shortening of daylight hours. (When Julius Caesar introduced the Julian
Calendar in 45 BC, December 25 was approximately the date of the solstice.
In modern times, the solstice falls on December 21 or 22.) The Sol Invictus
festival has a "strong claim on the responsibility" for the date of
Christmas, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia. Several early Christian
writers connected the rebirth of the sun to the birth of Jesus (sun/Son).
"O, how wonderfully acted Providence that on that day on which that Sun was
born . . . Christ should be born,"
Anthony Browder in his book titled, "Nile Valley Contributions to
Civilization" he stated, "Ausar, Auset, and Heru is the first story recorded
in history of man of a holy royal family (the Trinity), immaculate
conception, virgin birth and resurrection. Evidence of this Trinity is known
to have exist." (Reference: "Nile Valley Contributions to Civilization" by
Anthony Browder).
H.P. Blavatsky in her monumental book titled, "Isis Unveiled" through
meticulous research traces the original man's history and culture back to
Egypt (Kemet) which all philosophy, science, theology, and in essences human
thought evolved.
Blavatsky stated, "What Egypt (Kemet) taught to others she certainly did not acquire by the international exchange of ideas and discoveries with her Semitic
neighbors, NOR FROM THEM DID SHE RECEIVE HER STIMULUS.
'The more we learn of the Egyptians (Kemetans),' observes the writer of a recent
article, 'The Marvelous they seem!' From whom could she have learned her
wondrous arts, the secrets of which died with her? She sent no agents
throughout the world to learn what others knew; but to her the wise men of
neighboring nations resorted for knowledge. Proudly secluding herself within
her enchanted domain, the fair queen of the desert created wonders as if by
the sway of a magic staff. 'Nothing" remarks the same writer, whom we shall elsewhere quote, 'proves that civilization and knowledge rise and progress with her in the case of otherpeoples, but everything seems to be referable, in the same perfection, to the earliest dates. That no nation knew as much as herself, is a fact demonstrated by history."
There is no doubt that the story of Jesus was steeped in duality and
shrouded in the mysteries, but the WICKLY WISE, the ten (10) percent who the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad referred to as, "The rich, the slave makers of the
poor, who teach poor lies to believe that the almighty true and living God,
is a spook and cannot be seen with the physical eye. Otherwise known as the
bloodsucker of the poor."
Muhammad further maintained that December 25 was the birthday of Nimrod who
is mentioned in the Bible (Old Testament) he is styled as a mighty hunter
who is in opposition to God and he turned against the teachings of Moses
(the law giver). Nimrod was born 300 years before Christ. Thus, he
manipulated the teachings of Moses and set-up the early pagan empires such
as Greece and Rome. According to the Bible he is the son of Cush. Nimrod
killed his father and married his mother, whose name was Ester, and the
Easter celebration is also tied to advent of Nimrod and the entire SUN GOD
scheme. (Reference: The True History of Elijah Muhammad" Edited by Nasir
Makr Hakim)
Moreover, when Nimrod's wife (his mother) had their first child, he feared
that people would lose respect for him, if they knew he was making babies
through his own mother (it was a secret that they were married) therefore to fool the people Nimrod told people that the Holy Ghost had impregnated his mother. This was beginning of the GREAT LIE told about the birth of Jesus." there is a lot in Muhammad's lesson and was Christmas set-up by non-Christians who do not believe in Jesus Divinity, but has a stronger conviction to manipulate money and play on the theological ignorance of the people.
(Reference: "The History of Nimrod" by Elijah Muhammad).
Manly P. Halls stated, "For reasons which they doubtless considered
sufficient, those who chronicled the life and acts of Jesus found it
advisable to metamorphose him into a solar deity. The HISTORICAL JESUS WAS
FOR GOTTEN; nearly all the salient incidents recorded in the four Gospels
have their correlations in the movement, phases, or functions of the
heavenly bodies. Among other allegories borrowed by Christianity from supposed pagan antiquity is the story of the beautiful, blue-eyed Sun God, with His golden
hair falling upon his shoulders, robed from head to foot in spotless white
and carrying in His arms the Lamb of God, symbolic of the vernal equinox.
This handsome youth is a composite of Apollo, Osiris, Orpheus, Mithras, and
Baccus, for HE has certain characteristics in common with each of these
pagan deities." Manly P. Hall whom this writer considers one of the foremost
free thinkers in the history of mankind and he uncovers and interprets
symbolism, signs and delved into ancient wisdom unlike any other this writer
had read (Reference: "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" by Manly P. Hall).
This next quote is from a book titled, "The Lost Books of the Bible to Jesus
Christ, His Apostles and Their Companions" originally published in 1820 by
William Hone. Most Christians do not know their were some lost books to the
original Bible or perhaps this writer should say that a number of books were
deliberate and intentionally removed from the Bible as an act of deception.
Nevertheless, Hone stated, "Now Herod, perceived that the wise men did delay
and not return to him, called together the priests and wise men and said,
Tell me in what place the Christ should be born? And when they replied, in
Bethlehem, a city of Judea, he began to contrive in his own mind the death
of the Lord Jesus Christ. But an Angel appeared to Joseph in his sleep, and
said, Arise take the child and his mother and go into Egypt as soon as the
cock crows. So he arose, and went."
(Reference: "The Lost Books of the Bible to Jesus Christ" by William Hone).
December 25 had nothing to do with Jesus Birthday in fact his name was
probably more like Yeshua Ben Yosef or Isa Bin Yusuf (Jesus the Son of
Joseph) in accordance to the Amharic and/or Hebrew languages that were
spoken in that region of the world, long before the English language was
even a thought. Jesus was atypical of pagan tradition that evolved around
the sun god concept and there were many more world saviors who had similar
histories of that of Jesus and many of the things we ascribed to Jesus were
actually borrowed from more ancient cultures and civilizations. The birth,
death, resurrection and ascension fables seemed to have been concocted by
money changers and merchants which as stated above, many of them do not
believe in Jesus divinity, but the commercialization and the exploitation of
his name is their only motive. (Reference: "The World's Sixteen Crucified
Saviors" by Kersey Graves).
How then did December 25, become associated with the birth of Jesus Christ?
John King in his monumental work titled, The Celtics Druids:
Seasonal Cycles of the Ancient Celts. King states "In fact, Christ
birth-date was deliberately and artificially set, during the third century
AD, to coincide with, absorb and supersede the pagan festival dedicated to
Saturn. It is not even certain that Christ was born in the winter: many
legends speak of his being born in the spring. The controversy caused by the
switch from the old Julian calendar to the Gregorian persists in the popular
folk story that Christ was actually born on 6 January, and that at midnight
on the eve of that day animals kneel in homage to the Christ child in
mangers and stables. Many of the original customs of the Saturnalia have survived into the Christmas celebrations with remarkable persistence. The theme of the advent and the Virgin Births is, of course, not Celtic or Roman, although there are virgin births in other religions and mythologies."
(Reference: "The Celtics Druids: Seasonal Cycles of the Ancient Celts" by
John King).
King's research points to the fact, that the entire Christmas tradition
perhaps has it roots in pagan tradition (interpret to mean Christmas is a
non-Christian ritual), which ancient people had developed sophisticated
customs and rituals that pre-dated the birth of Jesus. The Ancients charted
the universe sun (son), moon and stars, thus developing agricultural rites that
paid homage to the power of life and death as it was seen in nature (the
Freemasons, Rosicrucian, Elks, Illuminati, Sun Gods of Kemet and quite
naturally the Sun Gods of Ancient Greece and Rome), as well as others have
relied in an interdependent manner on the winter and summer solstice for
ritual justification and theological explanation. Nature dies (winter
months) and it resurrects itself every year (spring time) and all of the
above Societies, as well as Christianity developed elaborate customs and
theological rites giving to some aspect of death and resurrection that was
observed in natural creation. (Reference:
"Secret Societies: Inside The World's Most Notorious Organizations"
by John Lawrence Reynolds).
Moreover, as the earth rotates on her axis the Ancients became infatuated
with the mystique of the winter and summer solstice. The word Sol is a Latin
word meaning Sun and word Stice mean to stand still and in scientific terms
the winter solstice and the summer solstice are one of the ecliptic at which
its distance from the celestial equator is greatest and which is reached by
the Sun each year around June 22nd and December 22nd. In our hemisphere
(North America) December 22, starts winter, in which days get long and nights get
shorter and it was believed by the Ancients that the Sun died during this
time, but the manipulators of truth switched and presented us with the story
of Jesus, the "Son God" and then concocted a story that is very much
inconsistent with the Holy Bible about the events surrounding Jesus birth.
(Reference: Recapturing the African Mind" by Bruce Bridges).
For example, in the book titled, "The Book the Church Doesn't Want You to
Read", edited by Tim C. Leedom. Leedom maintains that, "It is also
noteworthy that during the month of December, Bethlehem and its surroundings
are subject to wintry cold weather, chilling rains, and sometime snow. One
does not find shepherds with their flocks outside at night during that time.
This is not a recent weather phenomenon. all of this indicates that weather
conditions in Bethlehem in December do not fit the Bible's description of
the events connected with the birth of Jesus Christ---Luke 2:8-11."
(Reference: "The Book the Church Doesn't Want You to Read" by Tim C.
Leedom).
Kersey Graves in his book titled, "The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors",
wrote about the historical fact that there were at least Sixteen Saviors
that resembled the story attributed to Jesus Christ.
He maintained that all of these world Saviors were born of virgin birth
(immaculate conception), wise men predicted their birth, the heavens roared,
born on December 25, died, resurrected and ascended to heaven. These various
Saviors born on December 25th could be found in Kemet (Egypt), India,
Persia, China, Mexico, Greece, Rome, Germany and all of them represented
aspects of the Sun Gods who were deified long before the man, we came know
as Jesus. It was at the Council of Nicaea (modern day Turkey) on May 20, 325
AD that Constantine and his Biblical scholars conveniently and
systematically set-up Christianity (meaning the establish creed and
doctrine) and in most instance it went contrary and was outright
inconsistent with the original teachings of Jesus.
The two authors Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas in their book titled,
"The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secrets
Scrolls of Jesus" describes some of the challenges that the non-Christian
Constantine the Great and the Council of Nicaea faced, "The result of the
Council was the 'Nicene Creed', which sought to reconcile the differences
between various Christian factions and to avoid doctrinal gulfs that had
looked as though they might split the Eastern Church away completely. The
rulings that emerged still provide the basis for most Church establishments
today, covering many points of detail such as when congregations should
stand and when they should sit during services. The central issue, however,
was the problem of whether Jesus Christ was a man or a god, and if he were
indeed a god, what was the precise nature of his divinity."
(Reference: "The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the
Secrets Scrolls of Jesus" by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas).
Also, the entire system of Freemasonry is built on the on the Solar Deity
hypothesis; thus, one can point to the allegorical story of Hiram Abiff
(this story has no Biblical foundation) and he too is a prototype of the SUN
GOD conjecture. Hiram Abiff was considered a Master Builder of King
Solomon's Temple and served as a duality in Operative Masonry (Guild
Masonry-Trade Skills) and Speculative (philosophical) Freemasonry and He is equivalent to Jesus in fact andfiction. Shabazz "Symbols, Holidays, Myths and Signs" stated, "In Masonry the sun has many symbols. One expression of the solar energy is Solomon, whose name Sol-om-on is the name for the supreme light in three different languages. Hiram, the Chiram (Hiram) of the Chalders, is also a color deity, and the story of his attack and murder by three Ruffians."
The circumstances of Hiram Abiff's death transcends earthly reality and
moves into immortality (eternal life and the realm of infinity).
Hiram Abiff was murdered at high noon by three Jewish Ruffians that
conspired to steal his LIGHT (knowledge and wisdom). Death is viewed as
temporary, no different than the changing of the seasons and Jesus life is
styled as the zenith of the concept of immorality (Christians believe that
Christ has ascended to heaven and is sitting on the right hand of the
Father, but will return). Hiram Abiff's fate is only temporary just as all
the other SOLAR DEITIES which life and death is charted by the sun, moon and
stars. Hiram Abiff like Jesus suffered a cruel death and was resurrected (He
was raised from a dead level) from the grave in which he eventually stood Ninety degrees upright as a LIVING PERPENDICULAR ON THE SQUARE.
The Worshipful Master stationed is in the East (there is where the Sun
Rises) and HE is considered the light of the Masonic Lodge and as the
physical sun gives light which to set the earth into rotation, the
Worshipful Master is styled as Wisdom and the Craft should radiate from his
illumination and enlighten coming out of the EAST. The sun as it crosses the meridian sets in the WEST and this is the station of the Senior Warden and HE is styled Strength and in the SOUTH stationed Junior Warden, he is styled as Beauty. (Reference: "Who is Hiram Abiff?" by JSM Ward)
John G. Jackson in his book titled, "Man, God, and Civilization" he stated,
"Interesting relics of ancient sun worship may be observed in the
ceremonies, symbols and ritual of modern Freemasonry. According to Masonic
Tradition, the word of Freemason can be traced back to ancient Egypt. It was
derived from two Egyptian words, 'phee" (the sun) and 'mas' (a child), meaning children of the sun or sons of light; and from this combination we derived the word freemason. A Mason is advised to travel to the East in search of light, for the sun rises in the East. The Masonic initiation rites like those of the ancient mysteries of Egypt, are drama based on the astronomical allegory of the death and resurrection of the sun, and the doctrines of the unity of god and the immortality of man; and these tenets are learned from Dr. Oliver's Dictionary of Symbolic Masonry , that a lodge has their lights situated in the East, the South and the West respectively."
Jackson continues, "They are so placed in allusion to the sun rises in the
East, cross the meridian by way of the south and sets in the West. There is
no light in the North part of the lodge, since the sun directs no rays from
that area. Every Masonic Lodge Should be oriented due East and sets in the
West because the sun, the glory of the Lord, rises in the East and sets in
the West and in the lodge, the Master stands in the East, the Junior Warden
in the South and the Senior Warden in the West, which positions are
representative of sunrise, noon, and sunset, respectively." (Reference:
"Man, God, and Civilization" by John G. Jackson).
Perhaps the most colorful of all the SUN GODS was Osiris of ancient Kemet
and in reality, this writer could have started this topic with Osiris ended
with Osiris because of all the SUN GODS, it was from his legend that all
other legends sprung. The Christianity Trinity perhaps originated in ancient
Egypt long before Jesus the Christ. Osiris, Isis and Heru-is the father, son, and the holy ghost. These ancients' tales were derived from agriculture and fertility festival rites. Osiris had a jealous brother names Seth (Satan) who conspired against him in a vicious plot to take his life just as the Cain and Able story of your Christian Bible.
Seth succeeded in murdering his righteous and innocent brother moreover,
cutting his body-up in 14 pieces and depressed the pieces in the river to be
ever lost. But Osiris had a zealous sister named Nephthys who desired to
search the river in order to find Osiris to reconstruct his body. She found
Osiris' body, some historians say that she found his body in pieces
scattered throughout the vast river with the exception of his penis. Osiris'
sex organ was forever lost. The Egyptian started constructing the obelisk symbols as duplication of Osiris lost penis. Osiris being associated in the larger scheme of the sun. However, there are many different slants to the Osiris myth.
