New Jersey Substitute School Teacher Reprimanded For Telling First Grade Students That ‘Santa Claus Is Not Real’

A New Jersey school district is apologizing after a substitute teacher told first grade students Santa Claus isn’t real. In a letter to parents, Cedar Hill School Principal Michael Raj, in Montville, said once he became aware of the situation, he “immediately” spoke to the substitute teacher about “her poor judgment.”

Santa Claus has nothing to do with a holiday dedicated to celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, Israel, over 2,000 years ago. What if I came to your birthday party, pretended to be you, opened all your presents and then blew out the candles on your cake? Would that be OK? I don’t think it would.

“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.” 2 Peter 1:16 (KJV)

Santa Claus is a Roman Catholic invention, (why else do you think he is called Saint Nick?), and one designed to get your eyes off of Jesus Christ. We do a grave disservice to our children when we tell them to put their trust and faith in someone who is not real, instead of telling them to trust The One who can save their eternal soul.

I don’t know anything about this teacher, or why she revealed the truth about Santa to her students. But I do know this. She got reprimanded for exposing the Santa Claus lie, but she would have gotten led out of the building by armed guards and fired on the spot if she had told them the truth about Jesus Christ.

Substitute Teacher Tells First Grade Students Santa Isn’t Real

FROM NEWS 9: “I am sending this letter so that you are aware of the situation and if the conversation comes up at home over the next few days you can take appropriate steps to maintain the childhood innocence of the holiday season,” Raj added.

He then apologized to parents, saying as a parent himself, he is “truly aware of the sensitive nature” of the announcement. Lisa Simek, an upset parent, said the teacher told students Santa isn’t real and parents “just buy presents and put them under their tree.”

Simek said the teacher also tried to ruin the spirit of other holidays. “She told them reindeer can’t fly and elves are not real and elf on the shelf is just a pretend doll that your parents move around,” Simek wrote on Facebook.

“She did not even stop there: the tooth fairy is not real because mom or dad just sneak into your room in the middle of the night and put money under your pillow, same goes for the Easter bunny. She told them magic does not exist. There is no such thing as magic anything,” Simek wrote.

Montville Schools Superintendent Rene Rovtar issued a statement saying she was “troubled” and “disheartened” by the incident. “The childhood wonder associated with all holidays and traditions is something I personally hold near and dear in my own heart,” Rovtar said.

Administrators didn’t release the teacher’s name and haven’t said if she would continue to teach in the district. Simek, though, had sympathy for the teacher. “Moral of the story: Just be kind,” she wrote. “When in doubt, Always choose being kind, and you will always be in the right.” READ MORE

PERHAPS YOU’VE NEVER THOUGHT OF IT, BUT PLEASE NOTE HOW SATAN ROBS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST OF HIS GLORY BY SPREADING THE SANTA CLAUS TRADITION:

  • SANTA IS ETERNAL: Santa is presented as someone who was always there and will always be there. That is not a human attribute.
  • JESUS CHRIST IS ETERNAL: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8 (KJV)

  • SANTA LIVES IN THE NORTH: Tradition holds that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, a place ABOVE the rest of us.
  • JESUS CHRIST LIVES IN THE NORTH: “Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.” Psalm 48:2 (KJV)

  • SANTA WEARS RED CLOTHING: Santa wears a red suit mixed with white, Jesus wears white mixed with red.
  • JESUS CHRIST WEARS RED CLOTHING: “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.” Revelation 19:13 (KJV)

  • SANTA HAS WHITE HAIR: Santa is always pictured as an old man with white hair like wool.
  • JESUS CHRIST HAS WHITE HAIR: “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;” Revelation 1:14 (KJV)

  • SANTA FLIES AROUND GIVING GIFTS: Santa has the ability to defy the laws of gravity and fly around giving gifts to people.
  • JESUS CHRIST ASCENDED AND GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN: “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.” Ephesians 4:7-8 (KJV)

  • SANTA HAS SPIRIT HELPERS CALLED ELVES: Webster, 1828: “ELF…a spirit, the night-mar; a ghost, hag, witch”
  • JESUS CHRIST HAS SPIRIT HELPERS CALLED ANGELS: “Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.” Matthew 4:11 (KJV)

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Trump Prepares To Visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar And UAE For Trillion Dollar ‘Money Grab’ Amidst Swirling Middle East Turmoil

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Trump prepares to head to Middle East for major money grab with leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates

Everywhere you look, there is end times turmoil, and no place is more tempestuous at the moment than the Middle East. So it is under a dark and foreboding cloud that Donald Trump is preparing to go first to Saudi Arabia, then Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. What’s on the agenda? Money, trillions of dollars, and it has already begun to flow like water. Terror sponsor Qatar is ‘gifting’ a Boeing 747-8 Super Liner dubbed the ‘flying palace’ to President Trump personally, and the president has already said repeatedly that he graciously accepts it. At the least, it smacks of a bribe, and at its worst a Trojan horse. Only a fool would walk through that door, and that’s the memo.

“For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.” Psalm 49:10 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, they are calling Trump’s Middle East Summit with the Saudis ‘MAGA In The Desert’, and Trump has chosen to surround himself with some of the slimiest end times villains there are. The CEOs of Palantir and Blackrock, two very evil corporations, and Mark Zuckerberg  of Meta who may just be the worst of a bad lot. The leaders of the three Muslim nations all have the one thing that Trump values more than anything else, money, and they are prepared to spend it in unprecedented amounts. In Trump’s America, everything including citizenship is for sale. Remember Jared Kushner? He now flies under the radar after receiving $2 billion from Saudi Arabia 6 months after the end of his father-in-law Donald Trump’s first term. That same Saudi investment is now worth $4.8 billion. Hmm. Not only that, but among the many rumours swirling around this trip is that Trump will side with the Saudis and recognize Palestine as a nation. On this episode, we bring you all the breaking end times news you need to know!

NTEB SUNDAY SERVICE: The Mother Of Us All

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

On this Mother’s Day, the apostle Paul tells us that New Jerusalem is the ‘mother of us all’ and the gospels present Jesus Christ as a ‘mother hen’

In Proverbs 31, we see the lengthy mention of a ‘virtuous woman’, and it talks about the many wonderous things she does for her husband, her children  and in the administration of her household. A quick reading of the chapter leads you to see the quality of the ‘godly woman’, but a closer examination shows you something quite different. It shows you Jesus Christ as the ‘mother hen’, opening His wings (see Psalm 91) to gather together his children for comfort.

“But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” Galatians 4:26 (KJB)

Just as Eve gave birth to her earthly children, so are we the children of God begotten through the gospel of Jesus Christ. On this Mother’s Day Sunday Service, I would like to show you Jesus Christ and New Jerusalem, which the apostle Paul tells us, is the mother of all of us who believe.

SUNDAY SERVICE STUDY NOTES: The Mother Of Us All

The Mother Of Us All

“She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.” Proverbs 31:26-28 (KJB)

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!” Matthew 23:37 (KJB)

“For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.” 1 Corinthians 4:15 (KJB)

“And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” Genesis 3:20 (KJB)

“But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” Galatians 4:26 (KJB)

Is Donald Trump Preparing To Announce That The United States Will Recognize A State Of Palestine To Exist At Saudi-US Gulf Summit Next Week?

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Saudi Arabia will host a Gulf-US summit in mid-May during Trump’s Mideast visit. Speculation swirls over a major announcement on a Palestinian state, and peaceful US-Saudi nuclear cooperation

In your King James Bible, the word “trump” appears just twice, and both times it is in connection with the end times event known as the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. The Bible says there will be a “last trump” in 1 Corinthians 15:52, and a “trump of God” in 1 Thessalonians 4:16. We know that Paul says that in order for this rapture to take place, there has to be a “falling away” and the “man of sin be revealed”. Joel tells us that in the end times, God’s land would be parted thus triggering Armageddon. Today the news coming out of Israel is saying that Donald Trump’s “big announcement” he’s been teasing may just be the recognizing of a Palestinian state. That’s the memo.

“I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:2 (KJB)

For the past 16 years, NTEB has stood on the front lines of the end times, keeping a close eye on any and all developments related to the creation of a Palestinian state. During all that time, with over 11,000 articles and more than 3,000 hours of online Bible studies and Podcasts, we have watched world events take us closer and closer to a Palestinian state in ever more narrowing circles. As I write this to you – article number 11,209 – we are a mere kitten’s whisker away from this event taking place. It would be so perfectly fitting that the man that God used to put the world on lockdown and launch the COVID injection, would be the same person who will usher in cryptocurrency and a Palestinian state. Buckle up, Christian, Flight #777 has started her engines.

Gulf diplomatic sources debate if Trump will announce US recognition of Palestinian state

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Saudi Arabia will host a Gulf-US summit in mid-May, part of US President Donald Trump’s first visit to Saudi Arabia during his second term. This follows the summit held on May 21, 2017, during Trump’s first term. The summit, hosted by Saudi Arabia in its capital, Riyadh, was preceded by numerous predictions regarding the announcement that  Trump referred to, describing it as a “very important announcement” during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House on Tuesday, May 6.

In addition to what Trump intends to announce, the summit’s agenda and the deals and agreements expected to take place have become the talk of the town, ranging from security and military deals to technology deals and artificial intelligence deals.

All Gulf leaders are scheduled to participate in the Gulf-US summit, with the exception of King Salman bin Abdulaziz, who has not participated in public events or meetings for a long time due to his health conditions. A Gulf diplomatic source, who declined to be named or disclose his position, told The Media Line, “President Donald Trump will issue a declaration regarding the State of Palestine and American recognition of it, and that there will be the establishment of a Palestinian state without the presence of Hamas.”

The source also added, “If an announcement of American recognition of the State of Palestine is made, it will be the most important declaration that will change the balance of power in the Middle East, and more countries will join the Abraham Accords.”

The source confirmed that economic agreements will certainly be present, but many of them have already been announced, and we may witness the Gulf states being exempted from tariffs. READ MORE
