On December 16, 2025, the Seventh-day Adventist Academy in Pulierranghy, India, held a Christmas program that featured numerous Santa Clauses, played by students and faculty. [1] The students jumped, shouted, and danced to loud music, while the staff on stage moved in a manner reminiscent of pure paganism.
Ellen G. White issued one of her most solemn end-time warnings—one that speaks to many of our institutions. Referring to a bedlam of noise and shouting, she was shown would occur “just before the close of probation.” She wrote of shouting, drums, music, and dancing so overpowering that “the senses of rational beings will become so confused that they cannot be trusted to make right decisions.” This statement is profoundly prophetic, and its fulfillment can be seen anytime Adventist academies and churches adopt loud, entertainment-driven music styles that are identical to the methods of ancient paganism and contemporary party events.
The Spirit of Prophecy was exposing a counterfeit spirituality—one that substitutes genuine spiritual conviction for emotional stimulation. In the scenario she described heavy drumming, amplified sound, and uncontrolled movements. The result is a confusion so deep that rational judgment itself is impaired. This danger is heightened by the historical and biblical parallels contained in the Holy Scriptures. Pagan worship—most notably the worship of Baal—relied on loud, repetitive rhythm and physical exertion to produce a false ecstasy. The prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel cried aloud, leaped upon the altar, and worked themselves into a frenzy, yet the display had no divine origin or power. When Adventist music programs adopt the same styles—regardless of Christian lyrics or intentions—they borrow from the devisings of Satan while invoking the name of God.
Sister White warned that such practices would appear near the close of probation. Wherever our institutions adopt loud, drum-pounding music that resembles worldly entertainment, her prophecy stands fulfilled. According to inspired counsel, this is not the working of God, but preparation for deception—one of the most subtle and dangerous forms Satan employs in the last days. As long as church administrators knowingly tolerate this kind of apostasy, God will never pour out His Spirit upon them. The Latter Rain will fall only upon those who humbly obey and uphold the counsels God Himself gave through the Spirit of Prophecy. Heaven will entrust the finishing of the work to a people who cherish light, walk in obedience, and refuse to compromise truth.
“The things you have described as taking place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would take place just before the close of probation. Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There will be shouting, with drums, music, and dancing. The senses of rational beings will become so confused that they cannot be trusted to make right decisions. And this is called the moving of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit never reveals itself in such methods, in such a bedlam of noise. This is an invention of Satan to cover up his ingenious methods for making of none effect the pure, sincere, elevating.” (Selected Messages, Vol. 2, p. 36).

Christmas…
Ellen G White…
“We say this universal festival, not because we would be understood to say that Christianity is universal; but because the period now referred to as the “Christmas season” has been celebrated from time immemorial by all nations.
That which is now particularly celebrated as the Christmas, is the remains of the ancient festival whose celebration covered a longer period of time. This festival season was celebrated in honor of the Sun; and December 25 especially in gladness and rejoicing at his annual birth and the beginning of his return victorious over the powers of darkness or night.
In the reigns of Domitian and Trajan, Rome formally adopted from Persia the feast of the Persian sun-god Mithras, with December 25 as the birth festival of the unconquered sun—Natales invicti Solis. In the Louvre at Paris is the original of a mythological representation of this, which was found at Rome in a vault under the Capitol. It is entitled “Mithra Sacrificing the Bull.” The central object of the piece is Mithra in a cavern sacrificing a bull. As already stated, Mithra represented the Sun; the bull was the symbol of the powers of night. The blood of the bull was to impart the power of regeneration. At the right hand in the cavern stands the Genius of Night with his torch turned down, extinguished. At the left stands the Genius of Day, with his torch held up, aflame. An inscription on the body of the bull reads: “To Mithra, the invincible Sun-God.” The piece is intended to represent the victory of the Sun over the powers of darkness. This sacrifice was made annually at the winter solstice—the period that is now Christmas-time. Thus this annual festival was an established thing in the State and City of Rome.
About the middle of the fourth century, the church of Rome adopted this festival, making the birthday of the Sun, December 25, the birthday of Christ. And in a few years the celebration of this festival of the sun had spread among the churches throughout the whole empire—east as well as west. In one of the homilies of Chrysostom, supposed to have been delivered on this festival day in A.D. 386, he expresses his own pleasure and “congratulates the people upon the progress made, through their zeal in establishing this new festival, which they had borrowed from the Western Church”; and “seems to speak of it as a custom imported from the West within ten years.” The perverse-minded clergy readily sanctioned the practice and relieved all doubts, with the assurance that the festival which had been formerly celebrated as the birth of the real sun was a type of the festival of the birth of Christ, the Sun of Righteousness. And thus was established the Church festival of Christmas.
There are other items connected with the celebration of the day, whose origin and meaning are also worth mentioning. One of these is the Christmas tree. Just as the day itself and its celebration were adopted from pagan Rome, the use of the tree was adopted from the pagan Germans. And just as the day is a relic of sun-worship, so also is the tree. In The Ladies Home Journal, for December, Mrs. Lyman Abbott says of “The Christmas Tree“: “A German friend tells me that the true Christmas tree is ‘not a mere show, decorated for the momentary amusement of children. It is a sublime symbol of the soul life of the Germanic people for a thousand years.’ … The tree itself ‘is the celestial sun-tree.’”
Another item is the decoration of the houses and churches with vines, branches of trees, etc. This is derived from the sun-worshiping Druids of Britain. An early English writer says that the “trimmyng of the temples with hangyngs, flowers, boughs, and garlands, was taken of the heathen people, whiche decked their idols and houses with suche array.” The ivy particularly was used in honor of Bacchus.
Thus it is that Christmas day, the celebration of the day, and the appurtenances thereto, are all heathen and only relics of sun-worship.”
