Christmas – Chanukkah

It’s not every year

that Christmas and Hanukkah

fall on the same dates.

This year they do,

beginning December 25th, Christmas day

and ending on January 2nd..

Hanukkah/Channukah is not as many may think of it as the Jewish Christmas, but rather a celebration in remembrance of the rededication of the temple.

Below are links to several posts from previous years describing its origins and meaning to us today and explaining things such as: there are 9 candles on the hanukkah menorah, not 7…

As a festival of lights it is

reminding us the Messiah came as

the light of the world that was shrouded in darkness.

Today with the Light of His indwelling Holy Spirit

we are the light of His truth

to a world which is still being influenced by the darkness

from an unseen realm.

During this Christmas/Chanukah Season, and always, may the LORD God of Israel/Yisrael help us walk in the unforgettable and irrepressible radiance of His glory. He came to us clothed in our humanity; as a baby He legally entered this realm. He came with one goal, to die, that by sacrificing His life for ours we may receive the ultimate ‘Chirstmas’ gift of forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life. 

We are to shine our light pointing to the Redeemer and the One Who can shatter that darkness in our lives. He said in John 12:32

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.

May the true shalom of our Heavenly Father and His Messiah overshadow all of us today and every day.

Don’t leave this page until you are certain in your heart that the Messiah Yeshua/Jesus is the Light of your world.

We all need to be born again from above by His Spirit of Holiness..His Mercy and Grace are what we need…for therein is His forgiveness.

(Matt. 5:16).

“For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness’

(יְהִי אוֹר וַיְהִי־אוֹר),

has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus/Yeshua the Messiah”

(2 Cor. 4:6).

כִּי־עִמְּךָ מְקוֹר חַיִּים
בְּאוֹרְךָ נִרְאֶה־אוֹר

“For with You is the fountain of life;
in Your light do we see Light”
(Psalm 36:9)

Make certain Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord and soon returning King and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

Its all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

NOT SURE?

YOU CAN BE..

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your only begotten Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship and serve you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again from above and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.

Midweek Mannabite – The Fourth Candle

A Midweek Mannabite for those who are new to the site and/or have not seen the previous posts on Hanukkah/Chanukkah.

Many people assume Chanukkah/hanukkah is the Hebrew/Jewish equivalent of Christianity’s Christmas, which is celebrated both in Israel and around the world.

Today is the lighting of the 4th candle and

tomorrow will be the lighting of candle 5.

Although it is not an

Appointed Time of the Lord

it is celebrated by many.

Hanukkah is a Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

This took place at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire.

It is also known as the Festival of Lights.

For more on the why’s and wherefore’s

and the history of this festival/holiday, explaining things such as: there are 9 candles on the hanukkah menorah, not 7….
