Where did Santa come from?
How did Santa get here?
When did Santa magically appear?
Like, Melchisedec (which most Bible students believe to be a reference to the incarnate Jesus Christ), Santa Claus is like the Son of God:
"Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life.
But made like unto the Son of God;. . ." Hebrews 7:3
"Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life.
But made like unto the Son of God;. . ." Hebrews 7:3
Santa is from everlasting to everlasting.
His "years are throughout all generations".
Possessing the attribute of an eternal God, Santa
". . . thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end."
He has no beginning.
He has no end.
Like God Almighty, Santa is eternal.
His "years are throughout all generations".

". . . thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end."
He has no beginning.
He has no end.
Like God Almighty, Santa is eternal.
The famous editorial, Yes, Virginia There is a Santa Claus, written by Francis P. Church and published in The New York Sun on September 21, 1897 to 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon, ends with the following words:
"No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives, and he lives forever.
A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood."
A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood."

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself.
The world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

The Christmas "Spirit"?
And yes, Santa has his own "spirit."
The "Spirit of Christmas."
Isn’t that a little strange?

Gene Autry’s famous song "Here Comes Santa Claus" begins with the words.
"Speakin' of Christmas spirit."

Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:16-17 I wonder what John thinks of the "spirit of Christmas"?

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Santa Claus.
You better watch out,
You better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list,
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Children the world over are taught to FEAR Santa. You’d better go to bed little boy – Santa is watching.
Millions of fearful children are told.
"You’d better behave.
Santa is watching.
You might not get anything for Christmas."

Would not Psalm 76:7 certainly apply to Santa Claus in the eyes of most children?
Psalm 76:7
Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
The fear of the Lord is the "beginning" of the Christian faith.
And the fear of Santa is the beginning of the Santa faith – and possibly the destruction of their Christian faith!
And the fear of Santa is the beginning of the Santa faith – and possibly the destruction of their Christian faith!
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:. . .
Psalms 111:10
Psalms 111:10
While our children should be taught the fear of the Lord, most are taught the sacrilegious fear of the false god of Santa.
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

Take a trip to the local mall at Christmas time.
Go watch Santa sitting on his royal throne.
Kids are lined up to sit on his lap of judgement.
What does Santa ask them.
"Have you been a good little boy?"
"Have you been a good little girl?’
Go watch Santa sitting on his royal throne.

Ever read Psalm 11:4?
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
There’s no question Satan (or Santa. . . ditto) is sitting on his throne.
There is no question it is a mockery and pretender of the judgement of a Holy God.
There is no question it is a mockery and pretender of the judgement of a Holy God.

Revelation 20:11-12
Let us not forget the Bible says Satan (and Santa) has a throne.
For thou [Lucifer] 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 the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isaiah 14:13
Isaiah 14:13
In Acts 12, Herod is playing Santa, dressed in his Santa suit (royal apparel), on his throne, and the people saying, It is the voice of a god (a.k.a Santa), and not of a man.
Sounds a lot like "you-know-who".
And the angel of the Lord kills him for his blasphemy.
