Why is Christmas celebrated on December 25th?

The date of Christmas was not determined by Church Fathers by copying the date of a pagan Roman winter solstice festival. Instead, the date was calculated from the Jewish calendar using the date of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, September 22nd, 6 BC, when Gabriel appeared to Zecharias in the Temple according to Luke 1:5. The conception of John occurred “immediately after that” when Zecharias returned home to Elizabeth to the hill country of Judea, by calculation on September 24th, 6 BC.

The conception of Jesus was calculated to have occurred when Elizabeth was “in her sixth month” (Luke 1:26,36) on March 25th, 5 BC, which was also the first day of Passover in that year. John’s birth was June 24th, 5 BC, followed by Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem on December 25th, which was also the first day of Hanukkah, or the Festival of Lights, in that year. The Church Father, Hippolytus of Rome, in his work Chronicon, saw that each date had allegorical significance.

So why is Christmas celebrated on December 25th?

Globalist Think Thanks, Theories and Doctrines

CFR or the COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS is an American think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy and international relations. Founded in 1921, it is an independent and nonpartisan nonprofit organization. CFR is based in New York City, with an additional office in Washington, DC. Its membership has included senior politicians, numerous secretaries of state, CIA directors, bankers, lawyers, professors, corporate directors and CEOs, and senior media figures. The founding members were proponents of Woodrow Wilson’s internationalism, which countered the prevailing American isolationism of that era, but were concerned about “the effect that the war and the treaty of peace might have on postwar business.”³³ The organization began with an equivalent of over $2 million (in today’s money adjusted for inflation) from the wealthy members and letters soliciting funds to “the thousand richest Americans.” In the late 1930s, the Ford Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation began contributing large amounts of money to the Council. A critical study found that of 502 government officials surveyed from 1945 to 1972, more than half were members, including many foreign policy officials. The Council promotes issues related to neoconservative globalism and military interventionism; while also emphasizing neoliberal causes, such as climate and environmental issues, gender equality, free trade, globalization and international institutions. Rigorous debate and discussion among the members reflect a variety of policy positions. However, a common denominator is a unipolar globalist outlook.

Regional and Global Organizations

EU or the EUROPEAN UNION is an American project that was founded after WWII to ensure Europe would remain dependent on the United States as the dominant power in the West. The United States had the sole advantage of being the only major power not decimated by war in the early 20th century. After the First and Second World Wars, the idea of a “United States of Europe” seemed like a way to keep Europe from fracturing into conflict once again. The Marshall Plan, a huge reconstruction investment made by America in war torn Europe, came on the condition that Western European countries unite into a common free market. Individual nations were pushed toward a Liberal political ideology, if not a union of states. George Kennan, an American diplomat, summed up the vision: “We hoped to force the Europeans to think like Europeans, and not like nationalists.” Another goal was to align a European bloc of nations economically with the interests of the United States and NATO (also formed around the same time). Over the years, it was known under various names and incarnations, including the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957, and the European Community Union (ECU) in 1993. As of the writing of this book, the EU is made up of 27 member states. Of these 27 countries, 19 use the common reserve currency, the euro.

Globalism

HEGEMONY is the position of being the strongest and most powerful and therefore able to control others. It comes from the Greek hēgemonia, a noun formed from the verb hēgeisthai, “to lead.” It is a word that has been increasingly used in media articles in recent years, usually in the context of the United States dominating the world stage. Another noun form, hegemon, can be used as a synonym for a dominion or an empire. This power is spoken of as regional hegemony or global hegemony.

GLOBALISM is the aim of one or several allied nations to impose a single cultural, political and economic model on the whole world. It often includes erasing national identities and softening borders in order to realize a vision for a global utopia.

Culture and Society

CIVILIZATION is made up of society and culture. It is related to the word civicus, from civis “citizen” – and denotes those living in a civitas or “city” rather than in the sparsely populated country. In modern sociology, civilization refers to an advanced stage of human society, where people live together in a Great Space with a reasonable degree of organization and comfort, and pursue higher achievements, such as the arts, sciences, and education. Civilization is often defined as the opposite of barbarism and chaos. There can be more than one culture and corresponding society within a civilization, although a core culture will always dominate.

SOCIETY is from the Latin, socius, or “companion.” It is a friendly association with others, a collection of individuals who live together under one set of laws or orders. Society is the organization that ties a culture together.
