According to the report, SANTA CLAUS was a Bishop of Myra who is St. Nicholas of Myra who lived in 4th Century. St. Nicholas was a Greek bishop of Myra which in the part of Turkey.
Other reports say that SANTA CLAUS was a figure of the god of the pagan Alimans named "ODEN"
According naman sa (Longer Encyclopedia World History)..." SANTA"was a common name for Nimrod throught Asia Minor this was also same "fire god"who come down the Chimneys of ancient pagan 's and they same fire god to whom infant were burned and eaten in human sacrifice among those who were once god's people.
We can see here that Santa Claus had a pagan origin.
Now we will see the essence of SANTA CLAUS in Biblical perpectives to know the mystery behind of this personality. A chubby man who wears a red dress with a long beard and brings a sack of gifts riding in a wagon being pulled by reindeers.
Who is Santa Claus in the Biblical perspectives?
1) A creature who wears red.
".Though thou clothest thyself with crimson," (Jeremiah 4:30)
"And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. (Revelation 12:3) This points to Satan who deceived the whole world.(Revelation12:9)
That the color RED symbolizes as red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18)
who deceived the whole world by disguising as an angel of light (2 Corinthians11:14) and offers to people GIFTS to worship him.
Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Matthew 4:9And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
This GIFT GIVER is one of Santa's characteristics is well known in order to deceive. It is because only God can be the GIVER (read Psalms 104:27-28, James 1:17) and Satan is imitating it in order to deceive,
2) A Chubby figure
"They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. " (Jeremiah 5:28)
3) Laughing
I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? (Ecclesiastes 2:2)"Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, AHA,AHA.(Psalms.40:15)
4) Riding on a chariot/wagon
"...and burned the CHARIOTS of the SUN with FIRE." (2 Kings 23:11)
5) Does not enter to the door but to the chimney
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. (John 10:1)
6) With a big purse/sack
Proverbs 1:13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
Proverbs 1:14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
7) Comes from North Pole
"How art thou fallen from heaven ,o Lucifer ,son of morning !how art thou cut dawn to the ground ,which dist weaken the nations!For thou hast said in thine heart ;I will ascend into heaven ,I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;I will sit also upon mount of the congregation ,in the north. (Isaiah 14:12-13)
8) From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. (Job 1:7)
Here we see that this SANTA CLAUS is called the Devil the deceiver disguised as the Santa Claus.
"Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders," (2 Thessalonian 2:9)
