Welcome to Episode 1 of ADVENT SHMADVENT, the holiday series where The Mighty Philbert takes the beloved Christian tradition of Advent… and gives it a warm, sarcastic, fact-checked reality check.

This week, we tackle the Prophecy Candle — the candle of Hope. Christians say it represents the prophets who foretold the birth of Jesus. But the Shmadvent candle?
🔥 The Misunderstood Candle
Because when you actually look at the Hebrew, the context, and the history, those “prophecies about Jesus” fall apart faster than a gingerbread house in a rainstorm.

We break down:

• Why almah ≠ “virgin”
• Why Isaiah wasn’t talking about Jesus
• How Matthew retrofits random Old Testament verses
• Why the “Nazarene prophecy” doesn’t exist
• Why the birth narrative depends on mistranslations
• How the Bible disproves the Bible

ADVENT SHMADVENT continues for 5 episodes — one candle at a time — with the Shmadvent wreath calling out false prophecies, contradictions, tyranny, bullshit, and finally celebrating awakening.
