Hanukkah 2015: Sunset Dec 7th- Sunset Dec 15th
AS WITH THE MACCABEES OF OLD…
WE HAVE THE VICTORY!!!
“The celebration of Hanukkah comes, for all those who
observe the celebration, expect miracles once again! For
I AM the Light that will light your path in darkness!”
YAHUVEH, Prophecy 42
H anukkah–also spelled Chanukah. Hanukkah–means “dedication” and is also referred to as “The Festival of Lights”, is a Jewish festival which begins on the Hebrew date of the 25th of Kislev and lasts eight days, through the 2nd of Tevet.
Hanukkah commemorates the victory of the Maccabees (led by Judah) over the Hellenistic Syrians in a revolt that took place around 165 BCE (note: Jews use BCE–Before the Common Era and CE–the Common Era instead of BC and AD).
The victory in itself was considered a miracle, but Jewish legend gives an additional explanation for Hanukkah rituals, explained below. Once the Temple Mount in Jerusalem had been reclaimed, the Temple had to be rededicated. According to legend, only one jar of sacramental oil was found, enough for one day. Miraculously, the oil burned for eight days, thus the eight days of Hanukkah.
This is another reason we celebrate the festival of lights. Oil lights go out after eight days. YAHUSHUA, the brightest light sent to this earth, the true living oil, will last for ETERNITY. We celebrate the miracle of both lights. YAHUSHUA is the LIVING MENORAH! An ETERNAL LIGHT that will NEVER go out!
