(Deut 16:21; Judg 6:25,\u200928,\u200930; 2\u2009Kgs 23:6). In Deuteronomy 16:21, YHVH forbids his people from placing wooden images or trees next to their altars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>You shall not plant for yourself any tree, as a wooden image, near the altar which you build for yourself to the YHVH your Elohim.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, at Christmas time, contrary to the Written Word of Elohim, Christian churches place trees next to their altars of worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/images-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17068\" width=\"334\" height=\"431\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeremiah\u2019s description of such a tree in chapter 10 is eerily reminiscent of our modern Christmas tree, which finds itself placed in significant places where people gather whether it be in Christian churches and in homes. Sometimes this pagan deity was represented by a tree, sometimes by an obelisk type pole. The <em>asherah<\/em> pole is related to the <em>matstebah<\/em>, which is defined as \u201cimage, pillar, stump, tree or altar.\u201dThis type of pagan representation made its way into the religious system of ancient Israel, something YHVH forbad and something he expected righteous leaders to destroy (e.g. 2\u2009Kgs 10:25\u201327). Have you ever wondered about the origins of the church steeple and about its striking resemblance to the ancient Egyptian obelisk, which was associated with phallic and sun god worship?<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Paganism creeps into our lives in many ways, and YHVH\\&#039;s people love it!',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2020\/05\/26\/paganism-creeps-into-our-lives-in-many-ways-and-yhvhs-people-love-it\/',contentID: 'post-17066',suggestTags: 'Christmas,Christmas Tree',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeremiah 17:2, Wooden images\u2026green trees.In ancient times, sacred tree-like poles (like obelisks called asherah poles) and green trees were set up near pagan altars for the worship of the Babylonian and Canaanite sex goddess, Astarte (or Ishtar from which the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2020\/05\/26\/paganism-creeps-into-our-lives-in-many-ways-and-yhvhs-people-love-it\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2739],"tags":[122,123],"class_list":["post-17066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sin-wickedness-evil-judgment","tag-christmas","tag-christmas-tree"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Paganism creeps into our lives in many ways, and YHVH&#039;s people love it!
