In the bible it mentions people would make an image to the beast & the world would marvel?

I am guessing the christmas tree would be the image to the beast which is (Santa Clause)?

Any thoughts?

Ummmmm, nope!

Our modern day depiction of Santa is based, in part, on the Holly King in ancient Celtic mythology. By ancient, I mean it pre-dates Christianity.

Another facet was taken from St.Nicholas who was from around 300AD.

ps: I hate to be the one to tell you this but, Santa isn't real.

So not only do you believe in the myths found in the bible.... but you also believe in Santa Claus.

Oh dear!

Santa in the bible and they you wonder why, or get your boxers in a bunch when I refer to it as the buy bull

Have you people no shame, or even just a little self-respect.

No friend. The beast spoken of in Revelation, will be very obvious. Also, if you know the Lord, 1 John 4:4 states this...

"You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he(the beast) who is in the world."

Have faith in Christ, He has already defeated the beast in future/past.

We won't even be here brother.
