Summary:
A few quick thoughts about Hanukah. Light entering the temple. I give gifts. Don’t enforce your traditions. Difference between your own traditions and traditions on how to worship false gods. Christmas is Saturnalia. It’s interesting Hanukah starts on the 25th of the 9th moon and Christmas on the 25th. Twisting of truth and lies together. It’s not about what’s on your heart, it’s about it means to YHWH. You take what is bad and make it good. Eight is the number of renewal. Recommit to Yeshua and His ways. Dreidel was used for deception. Don’t continue to do something that encourages deception. No where in Torah that gives an exception to not keep law to keep people alive. Jews return at the end of the Second Coming events not before. The Jews need repent, as everyone does. What is going in the Jerusalem is not prophetic. Good prophecy is about Zion, bad is about the world which includes old Jerusalem. The popular prophecy interpretation is from the Jesuits to get people to lose faith. When conception happens, lights enters the tabernacle / body. Yeshua was born during the first day of Tabernacles. Gambling is not explicitly forbidden in Torah. Proverbs warns against gambling with money we can’t lose. Your kids will like Hanukah, play with fire and get presents for 8 days. Yeshua celebrated Hanukah, if you want be like Yeshua celebrate Hanukah.

00:00:00 this
00:00:01 computer okay so Zach was asking a
00:00:04 little bit about Hanukkah um for uh
00:00:08 subject today so I I don’t have a whole
00:00:11 bunch I have a few things so I will be
00:00:13 honest up front that I as I’ve started
00:00:18 doing
00:00:20 Hanukkah
00:00:21 um I have not really had much support of
00:00:26 my spouse at the time so I haven’t done
00:00:29 a whole bunch when I started I did do
00:00:34 the nine candle manora which I don’t
00:00:37 anymore uh and I have a a post I’ll put
00:00:39 it in the notes and links I mean uh that
00:00:42 gets into it U but I’ll just say this
00:00:44 real quick the supposed Miracle of the
00:00:48 eight days is a
00:00:50 lie yeah uh it did not happen there’s no
00:00:54 historical record for it it is rabbis
00:00:56 just trying to get
00:00:58 people to to do what they want them to
00:01:01 do to give them something to do um now I
00:01:06 I do believe Yeshua celebrated Hanukkah
00:01:09 I forget the verses for it I could find
00:01:11 it pretty quickly if we wanted to but
00:01:14 it’s where uh yes was stated he was the
00:01:16 light of the world okay it’s in the
00:01:18 Gospel of John okay it’s in John
00:01:22 um I mean I I know some ref it’s hard to
00:01:26 have every single reference for every
00:01:28 single subject memorized I have it in
00:01:30 notes I could find it but it’s easy I
00:01:32 don’t have the I can’t give you a
00:01:34 specific chapter and verse but I do know
00:01:36 it’s in the gospel oh that’s fine I mean
00:01:38 it’s easy to find if people don’t
00:01:39 believe me and I anyways um and I will
00:01:43 also say this I do believe it’s when
00:01:45 yesha was conceived now the uh symbolism
00:01:50 or
00:01:51 the maybe not the symbolism we’ll start
00:01:54 with just the surface level
00:01:58 of hanuk is a light entering the temple
00:02:03 yes right and it’s and the temple the
00:02:08 temple um The Temple at Jerusalem was
00:02:13 rededicated um after its um
00:02:17 desecration by the
00:02:23 um by Antiochus
00:02:27 epifanis it was rededicated
00:02:30 by
00:02:33 the by the
00:02:37 macbes on Han yeah uh which is what on
00:02:41 purpose um because that’s the time that
00:02:44 they were supposed to do it
00:02:46 um so I do uh Hanukkah is not one of the
00:02:51 commanded uh seven annual sabbaths okay
00:02:55 now Leviticus 23 has eight sabbaths in
00:02:59 them
00:03:00 okay uh because I’m it’s the eighth one
00:03:04 is the weekly lunar Sabbath in there
00:03:08 that people don’t like to mention and
00:03:09 now I also believe that there are actual
00:03:12 nine sabbaths because of new
00:03:15 moonay uh but it’s not mentioned in
00:03:17 Leviticus 23 but it’s mentioned in other
00:03:19 scriptures I have a post on that that
00:03:22 we’ll give in the details I’ll put in
00:03:23 the links
00:03:25 um so um and and on this not that it
00:03:30 matters I wonder why it’s not mentioned
00:03:34 there is because nine points to Satan
00:03:38 now along with that I will say um the
00:03:42 reason that’s why you don’t do the nine
00:03:44 candle the Nora uh yeah that’s part of
00:03:47 it one reason is because the miracle is
00:03:49 a
00:03:50 Lie the other reason is
00:03:53 because uh nine is Satan so in the
00:03:57 symbology of the numbers so when I do it
00:04:01 I do seven candles for eight days which
00:04:04 means you need 56 candles because seven
00:04:06 time 8 is 56 because guess what the
00:04:09 candles burn down the candles burn down
00:04:12 day by day oh no I do new candles every
00:04:15 day that’s what I say that’s you have to
00:04:18 do new candles because they burn down
00:04:19 day by
00:04:20 day oh oh oh okay okay sure sure yeah um
00:04:26 and um I I’ve my oldest this boy he
00:04:30 loves lighting the candles so that’s his
00:04:32 F that and so I also um do presents for
00:04:38 my children on um
00:04:42 Hanukkah um I I I don’t know if it’s
00:04:45 originally part of it I I I’m not
00:04:48 worried about it um it may I’ll be
00:04:51 honest it may the present giving on
00:04:53 Hanukkah May started in competition with
00:04:55 Christmas I I’m not worried about it uh
00:04:59 I I mean people give presents to others
00:05:01 all the time it’s big deal um um and so
00:05:07 you know and the there there’s a way
00:05:09 there’s a way that I do it um there’s a
00:05:13 way that I do the gift giving of
00:05:16 Hanukkah which is completely which
00:05:19 separates it kind of from the kind of
00:05:22 from the kind of um Grand reveal
00:05:25 Christmas gift giving that you that were
00:05:29 used too and that is every day of
00:05:33 Hanukkah I take the boys out to
00:05:37 Walmart and depending on the day on the
00:05:40 first day they get to choose a
00:05:42 toy um on the second day it would be a
00:05:45 piece they we’d go down the candy aisle
00:05:48 and they could choose
00:05:49 candy
00:05:51 um and so we and so on and so forth day
00:05:54 by day toy or
00:05:57 candy uh usually there’s a budget um the
00:06:02 first day I might let them purchase
00:06:04 something that’s a little outside of
00:06:06 budget oh yeah so uh so in I’ll be this
00:06:12 year I’m spoiling my voice but that’s
00:06:13 another issue but in the past I I’ve
00:06:16 done what Ben is describing One Day
00:06:19 present the next day candy so I
00:06:20 alternated it just like Ben’s doing and
00:06:24 uh I would also along with what Ben is
00:06:26 saying that maybe they’ll go out of
00:06:28 budget is I the bigger present I would
00:06:31 do on the first day that it doesn’t
00:06:34 matter though right
00:06:37 um that that doesn’t matter I’m just
00:06:40 describing our Trad for sure um and I’m
00:06:45 just going to say this about
00:06:49 tradition just because something is
00:06:51 traditional does not necessarily make it
00:06:54 evil what makes something traditional
00:06:56 evil is when you try to say that the
00:06:59 traditional thing is of God and should
00:07:03 be done correct and I agree Traditions
00:07:06 are fine um it’s just when you try to
00:07:10 force your tradition when it’s not
00:07:12 scriptural that’s the
00:07:15 problem and now uh along the same period
00:07:18 there is a tradition of another holiday
00:07:21 that is based off of things that Yahweh
00:07:24 explicitly has stated not to do so
00:07:28 there’s a difference between your
00:07:30 Traditions that you’re just doing
00:07:31 because they’re fun versus traditions of
00:07:36 How To Worship that are associated with
00:07:40 the things that yahwa
00:07:44 hates
00:07:46 yes um
00:07:48 and just to be just to make sure that
00:07:52 nobody can that nobody can um
00:07:56 misunderstand what we’re saying we’re
00:07:58 talking about Christmas
00:08:00 uh yes uh Christmas
00:08:03 saturnalia
00:08:06 um there’s a hundred different names for
00:08:11 it uh yeah or Chris
00:08:15 Moss yeah meaning because I did a the
00:08:18 Catholic Church held the moss on it but
00:08:21 anyways also
00:08:23 you um uh yeah and then pretty much of
00:08:28 the false p gods and helenistic gods and
00:08:32 Egypt gods guess what day they were
00:08:36 born so all born on this Christmas day
00:08:41 yes um now I do find on that little
00:08:44 point this is kind of interesting to me
00:08:46 I do believe this is when Yeshua was
00:08:49 conceived and on the uh lunar solar
00:08:54 calendar yahweh’s calendar Hanukah
00:08:56 starts the 25th of the 9th Moon so it’s
00:09:01 almost like they kept the number 25 and
00:09:06 and the the around the right time and
00:09:10 morphed it into the Gregorian calendar
00:09:12 and their Pagan stuff
00:09:16 right yeah and so uh this is this is
00:09:21 what you call and what this practice is
00:09:25 called is syncretism
00:09:28 [Music]
00:09:29 is where you’re
00:09:31 blending one tradition with another now
00:09:35 they were the reason why the and the
00:09:38 reason is so they’re
00:09:41 blending the
00:09:43 way with their Greek
00:09:48 Pagan um philosophy
00:09:52 theology yeah well I and to say it in
00:09:55 another way what Ben just said they’re
00:09:57 twisting truth and lies together
00:10:02 which is what Satan does uh and one
00:10:06 reason it’s been going on for so long
00:10:09 that
00:10:11 uh a lot of people won’t believe it when
00:10:14 you say it when you show it to them
00:10:16 either oh yeah yeah or or they’ll say
00:10:20 that’s not what’s on my
00:10:22 heart it’s not about what’s on your
00:10:25 heart uh it’s about what it means to
00:10:28 Yahweh
00:10:30 yes and it and it’s about what you’re
00:10:33 doing and what what you’re doing means
00:10:37 to y yeah and and it’s wickedness
00:10:41 because it’s what it’s patterned off of
00:10:45 how people worship their false gods
00:10:47 that’s the problem you can’t change so
00:10:50 while there
00:10:52 are while there are some similarities
00:10:55 between Hanukah and Christmas
00:11:00 Hanukah was actually
00:11:03 celebrated by our Lord and by our Lord
00:11:07 and savior Yeshua
00:11:10 hamashiach
00:11:13 Christmas was unknown at the time of his
00:11:16 life what it was known as was saturnalia
00:11:20 and it was known to the Romans and it
00:11:22 was known as a festival not to be
00:11:26 observed by the Jews uh yeah Saturn Elia
00:11:30 has a lot of disgusting stuff with it
00:11:32 and I’ll leave it at that for this okay
00:11:37 um if you knew what it was based off you
00:11:39 wouldn’t want to do it anyways you
00:11:44 can’t take what’s bad and make it
00:11:47 good you can’t yeah you can’t take
00:11:50 what’s bad Say the Name of Jesus over it
00:11:53 seven time seven times and have it be
00:11:57 have it become suddenly transformed into
00:11:59 something that pleases yaha uh yeah
00:12:02 anyway so enough on that so uh I I we’ll
00:12:07 do seven candles for eight days uh
00:12:10 because the N 8
00:12:13 day of the manora staying lit is a lie
00:12:17 it it just that what it is okay um yeah
00:12:21 and the the main thing about um Kuka on
00:12:24 the eth day especially when they were
00:12:28 rededicating the temple the eighth day
00:12:29 was when they brought the light into the
00:12:32 temple when they brought the Seven
00:12:35 Candle manora back into the
00:12:39 temple yep uh and um and the eight days
00:12:45 eight is a number for uh
00:12:49 renewal uh which is it’s a good time
00:12:53 to um renew or strengthen your covenants
00:12:57 and and re just renew
00:13:00 your desire to be born again renewal
00:13:04 eight again right
00:13:08 um so it’s a good time to even just go
00:13:12 back and study the law but uh if you ask
00:13:15 I know I anytime is a good time for that
00:13:18 so that’s not saying much right yeah but
00:13:20 the but but uh I would say that it is a
00:13:23 wonderful time for reviewing your
00:13:26 relationship with y and recommitting
00:13:30 your
00:13:31 life to walking in those things which
00:13:34 please
00:13:36 him yes I would agree with that um so
00:13:39 another thing that I just remember off
00:13:41 top of my head is I hopefully I say this
00:13:43 right the
00:13:46 dreed D so that’s the thing that they
00:13:49 spin right um
00:13:52 so that’s uh for gambling and they even
00:13:56 do it still for gambling but they
00:13:58 generally the Jews generally do it for
00:14:01 chocolate chips coins or whatever it’s
00:14:05 called I can’t remember the name but
00:14:06 anyways so no big deal really um so I
00:14:10 will say this the reason they did that
00:14:13 was for
00:14:15 deception and and so to continue
00:14:17 continue the uh tradition of doing the
00:14:22 dread roll I know I’m betraying that
00:14:25 word I’m sorry um is to continually
00:14:29 promote the deception they used it for
00:14:31 they were not brave enough to be honest
00:14:34 what they were doing so when they got
00:14:36 visited they did that to make it look
00:14:39 like they were practicing a pagan
00:14:41 holiday I’m not I’m not kidding yeah
00:14:44 they yeah they were um yeah so this is
00:14:49 and this actually goes back to one of
00:14:51 those things that is a common pattern
00:14:54 with the
00:14:55 Jews especially with the rabbi
00:14:58 especially with iCal teaching among the
00:15:00 Jews and that is that the things that y
00:15:04 hates are the things that he hates
00:15:08 unless doing them would cause the Jews
00:15:11 to be to be in terrible
00:15:15 trouble uh that’s no word not unless not
00:15:19 doing yeah unless doing the opposite of
00:15:22 that would cause the Jews to be in
00:15:23 terrible trouble so for instance if the
00:15:26 Jew when the Jews were threatened with
00:15:29 destruction at the hands of
00:15:31 Constantine uh unless they gave up their
00:15:33 lunar Sabbath they came up with the
00:15:37 Hillel second
00:15:41 calendar and suddenly the ways of Y
00:15:45 changed yeah that’s not how it works um
00:15:49 because that’s not enduring to the end
00:15:51 for example yeah that’s just that’s
00:15:54 called that’s called giving yourself an
00:15:56 Ever lowering goalpost well it’s also uh
00:16:01 only doing what is right when it’s
00:16:03 convenient and this is how this is part
00:16:05 of the reason why we know that what’s
00:16:07 going on in Jerusalem has nothing to do
00:16:09 with the Fulfillment of end times
00:16:10 prophecy because the Jews will go back
00:16:13 to Jerusalem when they remember yah when
00:16:16 they remember their Covenant with him
00:16:18 and when they’re keeping the law and
00:16:19 they are not keeping God’s law they are
00:16:21 keeping their own law yeah and just on
00:16:24 that
00:16:25 point I know this is controversial but
00:16:29 the the Jews will return after yeshua’s
00:16:33 foot touches the mount at the end of all
00:16:37 the second coming events not before
00:16:41 exactly it’s um it’s a it’s one of
00:16:46 those but but just in a
00:16:50 non-controversial sense just looking at
00:16:53 the promise of return in
00:16:56 Deuteronomy they have to repent
00:16:59 acknowledge the sins of their
00:17:01 fathers not say that their fathers were
00:17:03 correct and that they protected the law
00:17:06 which is what they
00:17:08 say right now correct or which is what
00:17:12 the yeah which is what those claiming to
00:17:14 be Jews and Israel say right now oh yeah
00:17:16 yeah and and that’s not a big statement
00:17:19 because everybody needs to repent but
00:17:21 though they’re going to do it after so
00:17:24 right so the point is so the point is
00:17:27 this is how we know that
00:17:29 um what’s going on in Jerusalem right
00:17:31 now has nothing to do with the
00:17:33 Fulfillment of any biblical prophecy the
00:17:36 state the the creation of the nation
00:17:39 state of Israel has nothing to do with
00:17:41 the Fulfillment of any biblical prophecy
00:17:45 I agree with been I know that’s
00:17:46 controversy oh but it was done by the
00:17:50 Roth child’s evil group of people um and
00:17:56 I I know people claim the 19 1948 points
00:18:00 back to um Abraham because of you know
00:18:04 the year of going from the year of Adam
00:18:07 that’s not what’s going on it’s it’s an
00:18:10 occult number I’m going to leave it at
00:18:12 that
00:18:17 um yeah um and along those
00:18:20 lines the
00:18:23 positive uh prophecies about the second
00:18:26 coming have to do with Jerusalem I mean
00:18:28 sorry Zion I’m sorry about that it’s New
00:18:31 Jerusalem which is Zion and the negative
00:18:33 ones have to do with the world U which
00:18:36 includes Old Jerusalem
00:18:40 so in fact right now I would say the
00:18:45 headquarters of the evil
00:18:47 system is in
00:18:50 Israel yeah and that’s where the
00:18:53 Antichrist is going to be um
00:18:56 headquarters yes yeah so you’re
00:18:59 the if you’re connecting your hopes to
00:19:01 the nation state of Israel you are
00:19:03 connecting your hopes unfortunately I
00:19:07 I’m sorry but you’re connecting your
00:19:08 hopes to
00:19:10 Satan yeah um and along with this a lot
00:19:13 of the
00:19:15 popular uh prophecy interpretation is
00:19:19 pushed out by the Jesuits trying to get
00:19:20 people to be
00:19:27 misled um
00:19:29 I I I because I know when it doesn’t
00:19:32 happen a lot of people lose Faith so
00:19:36 yep so but um but to get back to our to
00:19:41 get back to our subject back to Hanukah
00:19:43 joyous
00:19:44 holiday
00:19:47 um I would encourage I would encourage
00:19:50 everybody who I would encourage
00:19:52 everybody who hears this to um to
00:19:55 celebrate this joyous holiday the where
00:19:57 the light and enters the
00:20:00 Tabernacle this is also a good this is
00:20:03 also um this is also a good reason this
00:20:08 is also um a connection to
00:20:13 uh uh to the conception of Yeshua Tona
00:20:17 yeah so along those lines on the light
00:20:19 entering the temple goes along with um
00:20:25 him being conceived at that time because
00:20:27 that’s when the light
00:20:29 Spirit goes into the physical
00:20:32 Tabernacle and um scientists have shown
00:20:38 that when conception happens when the
00:20:40 sperm hits the sea or the Egg um light
00:20:46 happens yes there is there is there is a
00:20:53 lightning
00:20:54 yeah uh so I I I do believe that is
00:20:59 support that’s when he was conceived but
00:21:02 the biggest support for that is when he
00:21:04 was born the first day of Tabernacles
00:21:06 and you go nine months before that oh
00:21:08 look we got uh we have
00:21:11 Hanukkah yes but remember don’t spin I
00:21:15 would suggest that you not spin your
00:21:16 Dres but if you do want to spin your
00:21:18 dral remember that it’s about gambling
00:21:21 and gambling can be problematic uh yeah
00:21:24 okay I think the bigger problem I have
00:21:26 with it is that it’s uh perpetuating the
00:21:29 deception there’s nothing in the law
00:21:33 specifically against
00:21:35 gambling and I would say the reason why
00:21:37 is because just about everything we do
00:21:39 in life is a is a gamble to a certain
00:21:42 extent but I would also say though most
00:21:46 people who gamble are addicted to it and
00:21:50 are using the money that should be going
00:21:52 towards their
00:21:53 family to gamble instead of for their
00:21:56 family and that is against
00:21:59 Torah if you use your your extra
00:22:04 income and you’re enjoying it whatever
00:22:07 it’s a source of entertainment for some
00:22:09 people yeah but don’t get addicted to it
00:22:12 and don’t try to get rich off of it
00:22:13 Proverbs warns us against spending money
00:22:15 that we don’t have to become rich uh
00:22:18 that we’re setting our own that we’re
00:22:20 setting our house up to fail but right
00:22:23 uh and that goes with
00:22:25 gambling so uh but
00:22:29 it but look I I would suggest that you
00:22:32 not spin your dral because that is a um
00:22:35 that celebration of
00:22:37 deception uh and uh I don’t believe the
00:22:41 deception should be celebrated no
00:22:46 no and when I started I didn’t know any
00:22:48 better these are things I’ve learned
00:22:49 later and here we are just trying to
00:22:51 share some of wisdom um when you do it
00:22:56 do the eight candles I mean sorry
00:22:59 candles eight days I got the numbers
00:23:01 mixed up seven candles eight days um and
00:23:05 read some scriptures yes and talk about
00:23:09 them and spend some time in prayer yeah
00:23:13 yeah SP some time in prayer with you and
00:23:15 discussion with Y recommit your life to
00:23:21 him uh yes uh recommit and then also
00:23:25 don’t worry about what your kids are
00:23:26 going to think I will tell you
00:23:29 um my kids like Hanukah more than
00:23:32 Christmas well for one they get to play
00:23:34 with fire I’m I know that sounds funny
00:23:37 but come on they’re at least the boys
00:23:39 they like playing with fire they get to
00:23:41 light some candles and uh they get
00:23:45 presents for eight days instead of just
00:23:48 one right the the kids will be
00:23:53 fine yeah you’re not um you’re not
00:23:56 cheating your children by switching out
00:24:00 a uh by switching out a holiday that God
00:24:06 hates for a holiday that while not
00:24:11 commanded it is it Yeshua did it and we
00:24:15 if you love to if you love Yeshua you
00:24:18 want to follow in his footsteps
00:24:21 yeah Amen to that Yeshua did it
00:24:25 everybody claims they want to be like
00:24:27 Yeshua so so Cate
00:24:33 Hanukkah I I think that’s probably uh
00:24:36 good little yeah I think we’re good okay
00:24:38 all right I am going to stop
