Santa Exposed: Part III

Here we are again for our third segment of Santa Exposed.  In review we looked at St Nicholas, Kriss Kringle and Santa's Throne.  Now we will look at Santa himself!  We were operating on our original paragraph:

You can find him in any mall prior to Christmas, sitting on his throne while lines of children wait just to sit on his lap and be judged; "have you been a good little boy..."  This jolly old man, his head and beard as white as snow, that rides in a sleigh, pulled by reindeer, giving presents to good little boys and girls if their name is in his book.  All with the help of Santa's elves.  Just fun fantasy you say?

So we start this segment with:  This jolly old man, his head and beard as white as snow.

Revelation 1:13-14 NIV and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man," dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.
His head and hair (beard were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.


Santa is referred to as "Father Christmas" which ties him to the very beginning or "Ancient of Days":

Daniel 7:9 NIV As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.

The term "Father" is reserved for the Most High:

Matthew 23:9 NIV  And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

Mere coincidence you say?  
The Jewish Rabbi's have a saying; Coincidence is not Kosher.  
I say "Coincidence" is God's middle name!?  
Could there actually be something to what I am writing about?  
Why such a need to make Santa have the attributes and likeness of Christ?  
Is that not a good thing Ernie?

We will answer these and finish in the next segment...

Santa Exposed: Part II

Previously, we began to look into the mystical person of Santa Clause and his beginnings, or what we think they are?  We learned that St Nicholas as we know him didn't exist and that Kriss Kringle is an imposter of The "Little Christ Child".  Remember the great imposter wants to deceive by being like the real thing but with an ulterior motive.  

Isaiah 14:12-14 NLT  "How you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world.
For you said to yourself, 'I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God's stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north.
I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.'

Now we are going to dissect our original paragraph which is reprinted below:

You can find him in any mall prior to Christmas, sitting on his throne while lines of children wait just to sit on his lap and be judged; "have you been a good little boy..."  This jolly old man, his head and beard as white as snow, that rides in a sleigh, pulled by reindeer, giving presents to good little boys and girls if their name is in his book.  All with the help of Santa's elves.  Just fun fantasy you say?

First: "You can find him in any mall prior to Christmas, sitting on his throne while lines of children wait to sit on his lap and be judged; "have you been a good little boy..."  

Mark 10:13-16 NLT One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so He could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering Him.
When Jesus saw what was happening, He was angry with His disciples. He said to them, "Let the children come to Me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it."
Then He took the children in His arms and placed His hands on their heads and blessed them.

Kids love Santa, why, because he first loved them and provide for them.  They feel safe with him and tell him all sorts of stuff to include problems and secrets?  Just check with the post office to see how many letters are addressed to Santa each year.

1 John 4:19 MKJV We love Him because He first loved us.

Santa sits in judgment over the children by asking if they have been bad or good.

Acts 10:42 NLT And He ordered us to preach everywhere and to testify that Jesus is the One appointed by God to be the Judge of all—the living and the dead.

Next Time in our Santa series, we will look at: "This jolly old man, his head and beard as white as snow,"?
