When speaking to people of ‘The Way’ on the subject of Chanukah no two people seem to hold a firm opinion on the matter nor able to arrive as to an agreement on whether this is a feast or celebration to be acknowledged by the faithful.
In this message I delve deep into the Rabbinical history, the available literature surrounding this historical event, I probe into the merit of the fables that have become deeply ingrained in the minds of all laity aware of this story, I confront the paradox of the relationship that exists between Chanukah and Christmas, how they often fall within a week of each other.
Satan has always and is continually trying to destroy Israel as the people and light of Yahuwah in the earth, does that now automatically clear all Israel actions as being righteous and approved of Yahuwah? this and other deeply emotive subjects are examined in this complex but necessary message as we yearly revisit this celebration. These questions and many others must be definitively answered so the faithful can once and for all be truly informed and educated as to what the voice of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is saying to us.
Should we celebrate Chanukah? Should we light a Chanukah? Did the oil really last for eight days, did Yahuwah perform a miracle? Did Yahuwah set the date for Chanukah and Israel’s deliverance? Is there and end time message for Jews and believers in Chanukah?
these questions and much… much more I answer in this landmark teaching that I trust you will enjoy.
Please leave me your comments I look forward to your responses.
Shalom aleichem mishpachah

Yours in the master's service.
