Hanukkah and the Light

As I see it the focus of Hanukkah is the light which is Yeshua and Torah. And how Torah is to be written upon our hearts aka to be within us. Just as the temple of Solomon was dedicated at this time of year, which represents our flesh, had the light, which is Torah, and Yeshua, entered into the Temple through the door, which represents Torah. Because with Yeshua, who is the Door, the light of Torah will not be understood and thus will not enter nor be written upon our innards. To go along with this, this is when Yeshua was conceived, as Torah testifies of the Father taking on the flesh to become the Son to bring the immortality and eternal life of men. And because He had Torah written on His heart before the foundation of the world and He became the Father [leader], to lead us to the truth He wants us to know, by becoming the Son to show us how it is to be done, far beyond we anything we ourselves would withstand.

After I wrote the statement, which I felt inspired to write, I started to see a chiasmus therein. And with my love chiasmus, I could not resist the urge to see if one was truely there. Blow is the chiasmus I brought out.

Here are some passages of scripture I believe will help you understand where I am coming from.

Mosiah (LDS 15:1-5) (RLDS 8:28-32)
AA 1 And now Abinadi said unto them: I would that ye should understand that God [Elohim]
AB Himself shall come down among the children of men,
AC and shall REDEEM His people.
-BA 2 And because He dwelleth in flesh he shall be called the Son of God [Elohim],
-BB and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father,
-BC being the Father and the Son—
–CA 3 The Father, because He was conceived [idea] by the power of God [Holy Spirit / Torah];
–CB and the Son, because of the flesh;
–CC thus becoming the Father and Son—
–CA 4 And they are one God [Elohim],
–CB yea, the very Eternal Father [singular / modalism]
–CC of heaven and of earth.
-BA 5 And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit,
-BB or the Son to the Father,
-BC being one God [Elohim],
AA suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation,
AB but suffereth Himself to be mocked, and scourged,
AC and cast out, and disowned by His people.

Jacob (LDS 4:9) (RLDS 3:12-13) For behold, by the POWER OF HIS WORD [TORAH] man came upon the face of the earth, which earth was created by the POWER OF HIS WORD [TORAH]. Wherefore, if God being able to speak and the world was, and to speak and man was created, O then, why not able to command the earth, or the workmanship of his hands upon the face of it, according to his will and pleasure?

Alma (LDS 5:5) (RLDS 3:6-7) And behold, after that, they were brought into bondage by the hands of the Lamanites in the wilderness; yea, I say unto you, they were in captivity, and again the Lord [YHWH] did deliver them out of bondage by the POWER OF HIS WORD [TORAH]; and we were brought into this land, and here we began to establish the church of God [Elohim] throughout this land also.

Alma (LDS 17:4) (RLDS 12:6-7) And they had been teaching the word of God [Elohim] for the space of fourteen [deliverance] years among the Lamanites, having had much success in bringing many to the knowledge of the truth [Yeshua & Torah]; yea, by the POWER OF THEIR WORDS [TORAH] many were brought before the altar of God [Elohim], to call on His name [character] and confess their sins before Him.

4 Nephi (LDS 1:30) (RLDS 1:32-33) Therefore they did exercise power and authority over the disciples of Jesus who did tarry with them, and they did cast them into prison; but by the POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD [TORAH], which was in them [sealing power], the prisons were rent in twain, and they went forth doing mighty miracles among them.

Mormon (LDS 8:24) (RLDS 4:29-31) And he knoweth their prayers, that they were in behalf of their brethren. And he knoweth their faith, for in his name could they remove mountains; and in his name could they cause the earth to shake; and by the POWER OF HIS WORD [TORAH] did they cause prisons to tumble to the earth; yea, even the fiery furnace could not harm them, neither wild beasts nor poisonous serpents, because of the POWER OF HIS WORD [TORAH].

3 Nephi (LDS 8:1) (RLDS 4:1-2) And now it came to pass that according to our record, and we know our record to be true, for behold, it was a just man who did keep the record—for he truly did many miracles in the name of Jesus; and THERE WAS NOT ANY MAN WHO COULD DO A MIRACLE in the name [character] of Jesus SAVE HE WERE CLEANSED EVERY WHIT FROM HIS INIQUITY—

D&C (LDS 50:28-29) (RLDS 50) (1833 53) (1835 17) (1844 17) But no man is possessor of all things [Torah] except he be purified and cleansed from all sin. 29 And if ye are purified and cleansed from all sin, ye shall ask whatsoever you will in the name of Jesus and it shall be done.

To help with understanding why I say the Holy Spirit is Torah please see my post ALL Things You Should DO. Which brings out scriptures from the Book of Mormon that the Holy Spirit / Holy Ghost is an IT not a HE which I first brought out in The Holy Spirit and The Holy Ghost are the Same. Along with how one of the definition of spirit is behaviour and connecting that with the mind of Elohim [God] as Joseph Smith did in Lectures on Faith 5. Please keep in mind, that Torah teaches us how YHWH wants us to behave to be holy as He is holy.

The seven candle stick menorah represents Yeshua the promised Messiah who is the Tree of Life the source of all light, hence the seven which goes with spiritual perfection aka sanctification. Who, He, is always completely lit. Where as the nine candle stick menorah is a perversion of truth. To start off the myth that is used to justify the perversion of nine candle sticks is a lie and never happened. Not to mention that one the numbers that represents Satan is nine. (To go along with this, the reason that cats have nine lives is because cats are a symbolic of Satan and demons. On top of that, nine is symbolic of ensaring and entrappment, which is their purpose. And they know they only have to the end of your mortal life to do this to you.) Yeshua has His whole plan laid out in the beggining by Himself and also by the holy prophets. Where Satan will only give you additional glime glances of his dim plan, which the deceived think is light, as he gets you to bind yourself to him throuh sins as I expound more in Catch and Understand.

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that LIGHT is come into the world, and men loved DARKNESS rather than LIGHT, because their DEEDS were EVIL.

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the LIGHT of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in DARKNESS, but shall have the LIGHT of life.

John 12:46 I am come a LIGHT into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide [continue] in DARKNESS.

A lot of Christians will say “what would Jesus do”. I believe a better saying is “what DID Jesus do”. If we don’t know what Jesus actually did and the reasons behind why He did them, we won’t have any clue what Jesus would do in this or that situation. Nor do we really know Jesus or understand Him or His ways. For if we really know Jesus and understand His ways, we would conduct ourselves like He did while He was tabernacled here on earth and do the things He did. I believe that includes celebrating Feastival of Lights, see John 10:22-23, and the appointed times, moadim (H4150), commanded in Leviticus 23. I promise you will gain deeper insights from the scriptures, and thus the gospel, as you study about the Feasts of God for all mankind found in Leviticus 23 and celebrate them.
On The Morrow / Morning

I light all seven candle sticks, of the true menorah, every single day of Hanukkah.
