The Nimrod Bush
The Christmas tree has an ancient history many centuries before
Messiah was born. The veneration and worship of trees as
reincarnated dead human beings is as ancient as Babylon, the
beginning of false religion.
In the Bible, the worship of these sacred trees is called the
worship of the grove. The pagans would build their temples on high
places and then plant the sacred trees representing reincarnation
near their altars. The *hex* or *hexagram* became a symbol of
their high places and the ritual. It remains so among the occult
to this very day who trace their emblems and rituals to this
ancient religion. All of this was strictly forbidden by God:
DEU 16:21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto
the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
We may notice by the above verse that there was to never be any
tree planted (or set up) near the altar of God. This was to keep
pagan idols and false gods thought to be reincarnated in trees,
from ever having a place anywhere near the worship of the true God.
Up until the time of modern liberalism (since the mid 1800's),
the grove was understood to be several evergreen trees planted
in a circle and the temple laid out in the form of a hex (see
Stonehenge), and therein re-enact the mysteries they believed
started in Eden with the serpent and Eve. So these high places and
groves were a make believe Eden. The holiness of sin Ministers
(certain sins not sin any more), changed the interpretation of the
grove from that of sacred evergreen trees to a totem pole. Many
Bible Dictionaries and Commentaries have since the mid 1800s led
many to unknowingly adopt the Nimrod Baalmas Bush as a symbol of
reincarnation to be set up along side the manger of Messiah.
