Rockefeller Christmas
A family famously known for their Christmas celebrations is the Rockefeller family. John D. Rockefeller was known to be a devout Christian and one of the most generous philanthropists of all time. Yet when one starts digging into the history of their family it starts looking less Christian the further you go.
We have been talking about the beast system, which is called the New World Order. If you want a glimpse into the power-elite, ruling class who is pulling out all the stops to create the New World Order, a good start would be the Rockefeller family. Listen to what David Rockefeller had to say about accusations from conspiracy theorists:
For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.
-David Rockefeller, Memoirs (2003) Wikiquote.org
It’s hard to find a more freshly smoking gun than that. One doesn’t need to look far into this family to see what they believe. Take for example the Christmas tree they erect in front of Rockefeller Plaza every year. It sits above a sculpture of the Greek god Prometheus, like a gift under the tree. In Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire from heaven and brought it to mankind as a gift. Fire is a symbol of enlightenment. Prometheus is an obvious parallel to Satan who was cast out of heaven to the earth only to corrupt man by convincing him that he could obtain the knowledge of good and evil by disobeying God. In the popular occult movement called Theosophy, Lucifer (which is Satan’s name before he fell from grace), is the savior or mankind. They, along with influential Freemason Albert Pike who wrote Morals and Dogma, say he came to earth to save mankind from the tyranny of Yahweh, who only wanted to keep us down in our proper place by withholding knowledge from us. They teach that Lucifer is actually on our side! No kidding. The Bible says otherwise.
And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” Luke 10:18
But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3
… do not … give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:27
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 1 John 5:19
“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer (shining one, star of the morning), son of dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ But you are brought down to Sheol, to the far reaches of the pit. Isaiah 14:12-15
At Rockefeller Center there is also something else of note, which is very revealing of the Rockefeller family’s apostate, gnostic beliefs. Take a look at the following image and consider your first impressions. Then ask if those first impressions are correct. Only those who have investigated the matter more deeply will see what it really is. Anyone who knows the Bible well will see that the phrase “Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times” is a quote from Isaiah 33:6. So WOW, the Rockefellers are Christians! Wonderful!
Not so fast. Who is this image a depiction of and why are his fingers holding a compass like it is emanating beams of light in a pyramid shape? I know that the pyramid has been used as a symbol of enlightenment for a very long time, especially with Freemasons as well as hermetic, gnostic and neoplatonic circles. Why did they choose this imagery? Well, this is actually a reinterpretation of a piece of art done by William Blake. To understand this image, we need to look at that painting and learn a little more about the man behind it.
Although Blake claimed to be a Christian, he was heavily influenced by Enlightenment philosophy, but in a way that put imagination over reason. He invented his own mythology that supported his prophecies, which had a basis in Christianity, as well as Greek and Norse mythology. He believed Jesus was to be regarded merely a
Men are admitted into Heaven not because they have curbed and governed their Passions or have No Passions but because they have Cultivated their Understandings. The Treasures of Heaven are not Negations of Passion but Realities of Intellect from which All the Passions Emanate Uncurbed in their Eternal Glory. (E564)
If that isn’t a gnostic statement, I don’t know what is. Clearly, he didn’t believe the Bible and so he can’t rightly be called a Christian. It is telling that the Rockefellers chose to put a Bible verse on their adaptation of Blake’s art, a verse that when taken out of context supports their gnostic, illuminist, Freemasonic, satanic ideals. They agree with Blake. They are “Christians” in the same sense as Blake is, meaning, they are not Christians at all. They ride the beast along with the harlot of Babylon.
On the Rockefeller Center website, they tell us exactly what Prometheus represents. Here is what they say:
An icon of history can be recognizable to the eye, yet it's possible that we know nothing about it.
That is often the case for the gold statue in Rockefeller Center’s lower Plaza. When picturing the skating rink, we don’t only imagine the sunken rink itself or the flow of skaters moving in a circle, but we see Prometheus, the 18-foot-tall, eight-ton, gilded cast bronze sculpture that was created by Paul Manship in 1934.
The sculpture has been in the background of countless concerts, tree lightings, skating shows and special events, but few are aware of its meaning or where it came from. Prometheus is just one piece of public art that was integrated into the plans of greater Rockefeller Center, but is definitely one of the most recognizable—in fact, many sources say this is the fourth most recognized statue in the country, behind the Lincoln Memorial, Statue of Liberty and Mount Rushmore, and is the most photographed piece of art in NYC.
Referencing Greek mythology, the statue depicts the Greek Titan Prometheus, best known for going against the wishes of the gods and providing fire to humanity (and thus is given credit for civilization and progress). Over time, this classical figure came to represent human striving and the quest for knowledge. Prometheus played a large role in the approach to the art and architecture in the Complex, especially given that the overall theme of the project was "New Frontiers and the March of Civilization."
Prometheus perfectly embodies both ancient myths and forward-thinking progress. He is depicted in motion, thrusting forward with his right arm held high, handing off the eternal flame to all of mankind; he sits on a mountain (Earth), is surrounded by the fountain (sea) and is encircled by the ring of the zodiac (heavens).
For those that have never looked, an inscription accompanies the sculpture. It reads: “Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends.”
Put into the historical context of the 1930s—mid-Depression, leading up to WWII, the rise of 20th-century Modernism—this gilded, cast bronze sculpture starts to take on much more meaning.
The following description fits them pretty well, don’t you think?
Professing to be wise, they became
fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image (eikon)
made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping
things.
Romans 1:22–23
The Rockefellers are humanists more than they are Christians (if any of them are Christians at all). They even celebrate World Pride by replacing the row of various national flags resting above Prometheus with gay pride flags. It is difficult to get less Christian.
One more little tidbit I just discovered is that they started a flag project for artists. One of the artists they featured was Marina Abramović, the woman known for her “spirit cooking” parties where they eat cakes built like mock cadavers. She is also well-respected by many celebrities in Hollywood, corporate America and politics for her dark, sick, satanic “art.” I’d include some images here but frankly, I don’t want to look at them. You can easily find them on Google. Should a Christian company be supporting an artist like that? I’m positive Christ wouldn’t, and neither would any of His apostles.
There’s a lot more I could call this family out on, proving that they are in fact NOT Christian, but satanic, however I could probably dedicate a whole book to that subject. I’ve oftentimes found that people professing to be Christians can be some of the worst of all. This is because they are either lying outright about their faith or they don’t know what a Christian is. The fact that the Rockefellers make such a big deal out of Christmas is not surprising considering they aren’t even Christian.
Don’t Judge My Festival!
Many Christians cite the following verse to justify celebrating Christmas, but they lack understanding of its meaning. They apply it to their world view, disregarding the immediate cultural context.
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. Colossians 2:16–17
At first glance an undiscerning person would say this is telling Christians not to judge people for celebrating any festival, but is that what Paul was talking about? No. If you go back and look at the context it is clear he was talking about the Law of the Jews. You see, in the early church the Jews were trying to impose the Law on Christians, telling them that they did not have salvation apart from keeping it. Paul argued against this in several of his epistles. In one place he actually relates the feast days of the Jews to the pagan festivals that the Romans celebrated.
But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those
which by nature are not gods. But now after you have known God, or rather are
known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?
You observe days and months and seasons and
years. I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.
Galatians 4:8–11
Again, Paul is talking about the Christians giving into the Judaizers. He chides them for leaving their Roman worldly ways only to adopt weak and beggarly elements that are just as bad. He clarifies that they were observing days, months, seasons and years, meaning they were taking on the Jewish feasts days as requirements of their faith just as they celebrated the Roman feast days when they were pagans. Paul worried that what he taught them regarding Christ and the Gospel was missed completely. Surely, if Paul were here today, he would say the same thing to the churches for celebrating Christianized versions of Saturnalia and Brumalia.
Every day is a holy day
We started this journey off with a quote from Charles Spurgeon and it seems appropriate to finish on the same note for the sake of resolution.
The conclusion drawn from this book is an authentically simple one which radiates from Scripture offering inspiration and encouragement for all to listen to what the Holy Spirit has to say to us today.
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and saw My works forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.’ So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” Hebrews 3:7–15
I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!" 1 Corinthians 15:31-32
Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:10–11
Instead of listening to our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, cousins, friends and acquaintances about what we should do on certain days, let Scripture and the Holy Spirit tell us what day we should be focused on. We have the day of the Lord, which is a day to fear for those who are not in Christ:
But the day of the Lord
will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a
great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and
the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things
will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and
godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of
which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt
with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new
heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
2 Peter 3:10–13
“For behold, the day is coming,
burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be
stubble. And the day which is coming
shall burn them up,” says Yahweh of hosts, “That will leave them neither root
nor branch.”
Malachi 4:1
…then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of
temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who
walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority.
They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of
dignitaries…
2 Peter 2:9–10
For those who are strong in Christ and persevere to the end there is no need to fear. We look for the blessed hope of the promise, that when we walk by faith and endure until the end, we will inherit God.
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God
which was given to you by Christ Yahshua, that you were enriched in everything by
Him in all utterance and all knowledge, even as the testimony of Christ was
confirmed in you, so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the
revelation of our Lord Yahshua Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, that
you may be blameless in the day of our Lord
Yahshua Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:4–8
Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who
have loved His appearing.
2 Timothy 4:8
It is my hope that God will continue working with you and in you to help you distinguish between His voice and the many voices of this world clamoring to drown Him out. In this day and age there are so many distractions that it can be hard to sort through everything we are exposed to on a daily basis. May the blessings of Yahweh be upon you to receive His grace and truth by the leading of His indwelling Holy Spirit who was sent to us from our Lord and Savior, Yahshua the Messiah. It is only then that we can truly know God.
