Happy Hanukkah!



Beloved, this was sent to me from my beloved brother. A Messianic Rabbi. Kirt Schneider, a Jewish believer in Jesus and end-times messenger of the LORD; Jesus the Messiah (Yeshua Ha Mashiach).


Shalom Flavio,

Did you know that the only time that Hanukkah is mentioned in the Bible is in the New Testament?

Hanukkah Menorah
“At that time the Feast of the Dedication (Hanukkah) took place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Yeshua was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. The people then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, ‘How long will You keep us in suspense?’” (John 10:22-24)



Hanukkah tradition says that when the Jews went to light the Menorah (the lamp stand in the Temple), they found only enough oil to burn for one day, however, supernaturally the oil burned for 8 days! Thus, the Hanukkah Menorah that Jewish people light each year has 8 candles, representing these 8 miraculous days of burning. An additional 9th “Servant” candle on the Hanukkah Menorah is used to light the other candles each night. As the 9th candle on the Menorah is used to light the other 8, so, too, Yeshua has lit us to be supernatural lights to light the world (Matthew 5:14)!


I wanted to further invite you into my HEART, by sharing this blessing into my life with you. God’s grace and peace be with you beloved ones (Shalom Yedeedeem).


As always... YOU ARE LOVED,
Flavio.
