New Years
New Years, January 1st
New Years; horns and fresh starts, that’s what Yom Teruah and the secular New Year have in common.
But you may be thinking, “Silly pointy hats, annoying party horns, confetti, making New Year’s resolutions, raising a glass and kissing a loved ones as one rings in the New Year. What’s so bad about that?”
Well, first off, again we are dealing with God’s Calendar and Appointed Times, His reckoning of Years, versus the counterfeit Gregorian year which satan has used to perpetuate his counterfeit holidays.
The New Year's festivities have its origins in Babylon and evolved as they found their way into other civilizations like Greece and Rome. The Romans called it, "Saturnalia," in honor of Saturn, who in Biblical Astronomy represents satan himself. It was a time of drinking bouts, orgies and human sacrifice.
It was Roman Emperor Julius Caesar, for whom the Julian calendar is attributed to, who instituted New Year's on the first of January and transferred all the pagan customs surrounding the festival of Saturnalia to that day. Later Pope Gregory did the same when the calendar attributed to him, the Gregorian calendar, was established. This is the calendar we go by to this very day.
"The first day of the Saturnalia shifted during the lifetime of Rome ... it began around the middle of December ... and continued until January first. In its midst was December twenty-fifth, the day, as the Romans calculated, when the sun was at its lowest ebb ...." - E. W. Count's "4000 Years of Christmas," page 28
In Greece, the god of wine, Dionysus also known as Bacchus, was honored during this time of the year with drunken revelry, and this very thing occurs still today during the modern incarnation of the New Year’s celebration. It was also customary in ancient Greece during this festival to parade an infant in a wicker basket, denoting the birth of the New Year, and this is where we get Baby New Year from.
Father Time is also a part of familiar New Year’s motif and comes from the old white haired, scythe carrying Greek god of human sacrifice, Cronos, whom is celebrated at that time of year, symbolizing the death or the end of the previous year. Cronos is also known as the Grim Reaper.
Seeing as we go by the secular Gregorian calendar in our society and it dictates our lives and business transactions, etc., it is okay to acknowledge the day, but one does not have to take part in its riotous and hedonistic celebration, which is clearly rooted in satanic paganism. Will you be so brave as to recognize and celebrate the Biblical New Year’s as opposed to the pagan secular one, despite opposition from family, friends or even religious leaders?
