Wars; corrupt self serving governments; violence in the homes in the streets and in the churches; the celebration without the cause; the fake hero Santa; the spirit of antichrist in Islam, liberal Christian theology and the prosperity gospel all are Satan still attacking Christ and His Christmas.
Either we pretend or we just live as if Satan is an allegoric figure of evil, but He is real. Satan is just as real as Jesus but he is not glorious, nor is he victorious! He is the defeated hateful enemy that is still trying to stop Christmas. From the first Christmas even until now the old dragon still spitefully rages. He despises the message of ‘peace on earth and good will toward men’ sung on that Holy Night when Christ was born. What did Satan see? His ultimate demise! (Pastor Tim Jupp)
"We must never forget that we are at war. The birth of Jesus inspired a great war across the heavens, and now we are part of that battle.The Christmas story is not “a religious glow to warm a dark night.” It’s not just a cute little scene with bath-robed shepherds huddled around a manger-crib, telling the baby’s parents how cute he is. No, a dragon lurks outside the stable; this is cosmic warfare.
