MESSIAH

• and
• CHANUKAH

also known as The Feast of Dedicationor
Festival of Lights

3

• And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the
  dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked
  in the temple in Solomon's porch.
• John 1022-23

4
Yahushua vs. Jesus

• Remembering that He was born a Jew, at a time
  when there existed great animosity between Greeks
  and Jews, we must then realize the name Jesus
  was not known to Him, His family or followers.
  The name Jesus did not appear until 1500 years
  after His death, resurrection and ascension, when
  man dared to rename our Almighty Saviour after a
  pagan deity.

5
This then is the message which we have
heard from Him, and announce to you, that God is
Light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we
say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in
darkness, we lie, and are not doing the truth.
But if we walk in the light as He is in the
light, we have fellowship one with another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us
from all sin. 1 John 15-7
6
Elohim vs. God

• The word god is from the name Gawd or Gott
  both with the same pronunciation. But this, in
  both cases is the name of a pagan deity. If you
  have trouble with Hebrew words you can just say
  Mighty One.
• Why the aversion to using pagan names to
  address the Most High Eternal Creator?
• Moses warned us with And in all that I
  have said to you take heed. And make no mention
  of the name of other mighty ones, let it not be
  heard from your mouth. Exodus 2313
• Why? It is the breaking of the 1st Commandment.
• Elohim is Mighty Ones, Father and Son The
  singular is Eloi.

7

• In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
  was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the
  beginning with God. All came to be through Him
  and without Him not even one came to be that came
  to be. In Him was life and the life was the
  LIGHT of men. And the LIGHT shines in darkness,
  and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a
  man sent from God, whose name was John. This one
  came for a witness, to bear witness of the LIGHT,
  that all might believe through him. He was not
  that LIGHT, but was sent to bear witness of that
  LIGHT. That was the true LIGHT, which LIGHTeth
  every man that cometh into the world.
• John 11-9

8

• I am the light of the world.
  John 95
• And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will
  draw all men unto Me.
• John 1232

9
ICONS

• If there is an icon for our Beloved Saviour
  it is the menorah, as He is the
• LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Can we know His conception and birth dates? Is
December 25th correct? In Biblical terms ones
age begins, not from the actual date of birth,
but from the year of conception.
10

• Everything our Heavenly Father sought to
  blessed us with, satan has manufactured a
  counterfeit, a forgery.
• But as with everything that is fake the
  enemys counterfeit holidays hold no meaning, are
  an abomination in the eyes of Yahuah Elohim and
  are destructive to His people.

11
SATAN COUNTERFEITS

• Everything our Heavenly Father has given was
  given to bless His people. Each letter of His
  alphabet contains not only a message in and of
  itself but also numbers and the music scale. Much
  has been forgotten because the language of heaven
  was rejected. Just as His language and Name was
  rejected so were His divine appointments, which
  when studied reveal His great plan of Redemption.

12
Gestation and His Holy Appointments

• On the fourteenth day of the first month,
  the egg appears as seen in the custom of the
  roasted egg on the Jewish table every Passover.
  The egg must be fertilized within 24 hours, or it
  will pass on Feast of Unleavened Bread and the
  seed or grain that "fell into the ground and
  died" in order to produce a harvest, the
  Firstfruits of which was presented to Elohim.

13

• Within two to six days, the fertilized egg
  attaches itself to the wall of the womb and
  begins to grow. Feast of Firstfruits is observed
  anywhere from two to six days after Passover and
  celebrates the first harvest of those
  resurrected.

14

• Around the fiftieth day, the embryo takes on
  the form of a human being. Until then, we dont
  know if we have a duck or a tadpole. Thats
  Pentecost! When the Holy Spirit empowered the
  believers.

15

• On the first day of the seventh month, the
  babys hearing is developed. For the first time,
  it can hear and distinguish sounds outside the
  womb.
• Festival of Trumpets, the loud cry and final
  warning.

16

• On the tenth day of the seventh month, the
  hemoglobin of the blood changes from that of the
  mother, to a self-sustaining baby. Day of
  Atonement, when the sacrificial blood was
  sprinkled on the mercy seat, as His blood did at
  His crucification.

17

• On the fifteenth day of the seventh month,
  the lungs become fully developed. If born before
  then, the baby would have a hard time breathing.
  Festival of Tabernacles also called Feast of
  Ingathering, a time of celebrating the temple,
  which represents Messiah and without Him we
  hardly survive, and the Ingathering of His people
  to go home with Him, where He will Tabernacle
  with us forever.

18

• Birth takes place on the tenth day of the
  ninth month. Eight days after birth, in Jewish
  families, a son is circumcised. the eight days
  of Chanukah are celebrated right on schedule,
  nine months and ten days after Passover.

19

• The establishment of the Holy Days was given
  to Moses by YHWH, Himself. Its correlation with
  the human gestation period is not only
  remarkable it proves "Intelligent Design."
• It proves the existence of an intelligence
  beyond this world. It proves that there is a
  Creator Elohim that guides the affairs of man.

20
The Feast of Tabernacles is a most important
commemoration.

• Like
• Thanksgiving,
• Chanukah is a free
• choice celebration observed
• to honor the Creator. It is not
• one of His divine appointments.

21
How Does Chanukah Fit in, then, with Messiah's
Conception and Birth?
22

1st Consideration
The Conception of John the
Baptist Luke 15-25
23
When the angel, Gabriel, appeared to Zacharias as
he was ministering in the Temple, it was during
the ministration of Abia. This Abia order of
priests ministered in the Temple the eighth week
of the Hebrew year according to the ordinance of
1 Chronicles 2410.  The eighth week transverses
the last week of the second Hebrew month and the
first week of the third Hebrew month, which
culminates at Shavuot (Pentecost).
24
This is the anchor point for discovering the
exact time of Messiahs birth. The angel promised
Zacharias that his prayer had been answered, and
when he went home to his wife Elizabeth she
conceived. This puts the conception of John the
Baptist very near the time of Shavuot, the Feast
of Pentecost, in the second week of the third
Hebrew month.
25

• 2nd consideration
• The Conception of Yahushua
• Luke 126-55

26

• At the close of the sixth month of
  Elizabeth' s pregnancy the angel Gabriel appeared
  to Mary. Gabriel told Mary about Elizabeth,
  saying "she who was called barren is six months
  pregnant," This would be the last of the ninth
  Hebrew month at the time of Chanukah. There are
  27 weeks between the end of the discourse of Abia
  and the start of Chanukah (Festival of
  Dedication), which is celebrated eight days.

27

• Mary accepts the word of the angel
  concerning the conception of Messiah in her, and
  she immediately rushes from Nazareth to the home
  of Elizabeth and Zacharias in the Judean
  mountains close to Jerusalem, about a three days
  journey from Nazareth. Mary was probably going
  there to celebrate Chanukah and to help Elizabeth
  with her pregnancy, as well as to talk to
  Elizabeth about the angel's visitation.

28

• Upon Mary's greeting to Elizabeth, Elizabeth
  responds to Mary, calling her "the mother of my
  Almighty One". This demonstrates that Mary was
  already pregnant with Yahushua. Thus, Messiah
  Yahushua was conceived at Chanukah, the Festival
  of Lights, for He is the Light of the World.

29

• Sometimes the time of Chanukah falls close to
  Christmas. The apostate Roman church of medieval
  times combined the pagan winter solstice in late
  December with the 25th of Kislev (Chanukah) to
  create Christmas on Dec- ember 25, to celebrate
  the birth of the sun god Tammuz and most of the
  people blindly followed the deception of their
  leaders.

Mithras and Tammuz are the same deity. Notice
the hat? Ho, Ho, Ho!
30

• During the Protestant Reformation some of
  these pagan deceptions were revealed. Christmas
  was outlawed in England from 1647 to 1660.
  Christmas was also illegal in the New England
  Colonies. But in the 1800s German and Irish
  Catholics, escaping the Great Potato Famine,
  brought their pagan idolatry with them. And by
  1836 Alabama was the 1st of the States to accept
  and make Christmas a legal holiday. A declining
  of our nation.

31

Thus said YHWH, Learn not the way of the
heathenFor the customs of the people are vain
for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work
of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They
deck it with silver and with gold they fasten it
with nails and with hammers, so that it does not
topple. Jeremiah 102-4
Oh, Christmas Tree! Oh, Christmas Tree! How
beautiful your branches! Is this not idol
worship?
32

• Dec-ember 25 is actually the birth date of
  Tammuz, the pagan god mentioned in Ezekiel 814
  (KJV) Then he the angel brought me Ezekiel
  to the door of the gate of YHWH's house the
  Sanctuary, Church which was toward the north
  ROME and, behold, there sat women churches
  weeping for Tammuz.

33

• Why weeping for Tammuz? Because the pagan
  rituals surrounding Tammuz has infiltrated the
  True faith of the Early Church. And people dont
  want to give up their customs. In these Last Days
  true believers are being called upon to separate
  themselves from these pagan practices such as
  Christ Mass Tammuzs birthday Easter the
  goddess of Spring or fertility Halloween
  worship of the dead and so onRev. 184 (KJV)
  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
  Come out of her, My people, that ye be not
  partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of
  her seven last plagues.

34

• Who is this her and what are her sins? The
  her is pagan worship and her sins are
  idolatry.

35

• And in that day seven women shall take hold
  of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread,
  and wear our own apparel only let us be called
  by thy name, to take away our reproach. Isaiah
  41 (KJV)

Symbolically speaking this can be understood as
In the LAST DAYS ALL CHURCHES shall claim to
follow Christ saying We will have our own
doctrine, and wear self-righteousness only let
us be called Christians to hide our wickedness.
36
She said, No man, Master. And Yahushua said
to her, Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no
more. John 811

• And the times of this ignorance Elohim winked
  at. But now commands all men everywhere to
  repent.
• Acts 1730

37
Messiah Was A Jew

• He was born to a Jewish mother in a Jewish
  community, to a Jewish nationHe was NOT Greek
  nor did He observe Greek holidays, such as
  Easter, etc..
• To the Samaritan woman He said Ye worship ye
  know not what we Jews know what we worship
  for salvation is of the Jews. John 422

38
IF WE WANT TO KNOW TRUTH

• WE MUST GO TO TORAH THE 1ST FIVE BOOK OF THE
  BIBLE
• For if you believed Moses you would believe
  Me, since he wrote about Me. But if you do not
  believe his writings how can you believe My
  words?
• John 546-47

39
Messiah observed TorahMEANING - Teachings

• Think not that I am come to destroy the law,
  or the prophets I am NOT come to destroy, but to
  fulfil. Matthew 517 (KJV)
• The word law is nomos meaning the first
  five books of the BibleTORAH.
• The word fulfil is pleroo meaning to
  preach, perfect and/or fulfill. He did fulfil
  the sacrificial law. And His sermon on the mount
  was preaching the statutes and judgments to
  perfect them in our hearts. He preached them
  throughout His ministry, as did His disciples
  after Him.

40
PROPHECIES FOR THE LAST DAYS

• O YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, and my
  refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles
  shall come to you from the ends of the earth, and
  shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited
  lies, vanity, and things of which there is no
  benefit.
• Jeremiah 1619

In those days it shall come to pass, that ten
men shall take hold, out of all languages of the
nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him
that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you for
we have heard that YHWH is with you.
Zech. 823 (KJV)
41

• Yahushua is shown celebrating Chanukah in John
  1022,23. It is at this celebration that He
  declares "I and My Father are One" John 1030,
  which testifies to His Divine origin in His
  conception. It also reinforces Chanukah as the
  time of His conception.

42

• Historically, then, it is more accurate to
  celebrate Yahushua entering the world through
  conception at Chanukah rather than to celebrate
  His birth at Christmas. As we shall show,
  Christmas is not the birthday of Christ.
  (Christmas is an invention resulting from
  religious compromise with pagan tradition.
  Christmas only has harmony with the truth, in
  that it falls approximately at the time of year
  when Yahushua was conceived by the Holy Spirit.
  But that is not reason to mix the holy with the
  profane.)

43

• 3rd Consideration
• The Birth of
• John the Baptist
• Luke156-80

44

• Mary stayed with Elizabeth for three
  months, which was until the birth of John. Since
  a full pregnancy term is 41 weeks, and 27 weeks
  makes up the first six months (two trimesters),
  which is exactly the time from the discourse of
  Abia to Chanukah, that leaves 14 weeks to
  accomplish the last trimester and bring the
  pregnancy to full term. There are exactly 14
  weeks from Chanukah to Passover (Nisan 14-22).
  Therefore, John the Baptist was born at Passover.
  He was circumcised on the eighth day, which would
  be the last day of Passover/Feast of Unleavened
  Bread. Gabriel had said that John would "go
  forth" in the strength and power of Elijah Luke
  117. Jewish teaching was that Elijah would come
  again at Passover (this is still a tradition of
  Judaism today).

45

• 4th
• Consideration
• The Birth of
• Yahushua
• Luke 2

46

• Nisan, when John was born, is the first
  month of the Hebrew year. As we have shown, Mary
  conceived six months after Elizabeth conceived,
  which means Yahushua's birth would have to come
  six months after John's birth, during the seventh
  Hebrew month of Tishri. Since we know that John
  was born at Passover/Feast of Unleavened Bread,
  we learn the time of Yahushua's birth by counting
  six Hebrew months from Passover. The Feast of
  Unleavened Bread begins on Nisan 15 and six
  months later Tabernacles begins on Tishri 15.
  Therefore, Yahushua was born on the first day of
  Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles).

47

• The first day of Tabernacles is a Sabbath
  rest, so it fits that Joseph and Mary planned
  their journey to Bethlehem so they would finish
  their journey before the festival Sabbath. They
  found lodging just in time.

48

• Concerning the Feast of Tabernacles, YHWH
  commanded that Israel should observe it eight
  days. They were to build temporary dwellings
  called a sukkah and dwell in them Leviticus
  2334-43. These sukkahs were erected to house
  families with some bare comforts and food for the
  eight days. Food was placed in a stall or a crib
  for storage in the tabernacle. The King James
  Bible calls this food crib a manger. Yahushua
  was not born in a barn, but rather in a temporary
  tabernacle which had been built for the
  celebration. He was placed in a "manger",
  demonstrating in a type that He is the Bread of
  Life from heaven.

49

• The eighth day, Yahushua was circumcised
  according to the Scriptural command Luke 221.
  For a male, this is what accomplishes a full
  Hebrew birth. The Feast of Tabernacles is for
  exactly eight days. The first and last days are
  both holy Sabbaths. Yahushua was born on the
  first day, a holy Sabbath, and circumcised on the
  eighth day, a holy Sabbath. Evidently, the
  Almighty One intended this entire Feast of
  Tabernacles to be set aside in order to
  accomplish and celebrate Yahushua's birth into
  the world.

50

• Note that the Almighty One provided two holy
  feasts that lasted eight days, Passover/Unleavened
  Bread and the Feast of Tabernacles. John the
  Baptist, the forerunner of Messiah, was born and
  circumcised in the eight days of the first, then
  six month later Yahushua, the Messiah, was born
  and circumcised the eight days of the second.

51

• John came in the first month of the year and
  Yahushua came in the seventh month seven in
  Biblical terms represents completeness or
  perfection. In ministry, John introduced the
  way through Messiah and then Yahushua perfected
  it, even as the first and seventh months signify.

52

• This chronology provides us with the exact
  day of Yahushua's birth, Tishri 15, according to
  the Hebrew calendar. The Hebrew calendar has been
  kept up to date to this modern day, and every
  year the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) is set
  from Tishri 15 to Tishri 22. Because the Hebrew
  calendar is based on the course of the Moon
  (Lunar) and the modern calendar is based on the
  course of the Sun (Solar), the two move in
  relation to each other. The date of His birth
  will always be in the fall, not in winter.

53
The Feast of Tabernacles is a most important
commemoration.

• Chanukah, like Thanksgiving Day, is a free
  choice celebration observed by men to honor their
  Creator. Feast of Tabernacles, on the other hand,
  is a commanded holy appointment, as are His other
  holy days listed in the 23rd chapter of the book
  of Leviticus.

54

• Zechariah 1416,17 tells us that one day all
  nations that are left after Armageddon will honor
  this feast. For what greater reason, than to
  commemorate the birth of the King of Kings! Then
  should we not be keeping it now?

55

• May we all work to overcome the influence of
  pagan customs in our celebrations and become
  separate from this world as a holy people before
  our holy Creator.

56
WALK IN THE LIGHT

• Then Yahushua said to them, The Light
  is with you yet a little while. Walk while you
  have the Light, lest darkness overtake you. And
  he who walks in darkness does not know where he
  is going. While you have Light, believe in the
  Light, that you become children of Light
• John 1235-36

Of the New Kingdom John wrote And the city
had no need of the sun, or the moon, to shine in
it for the glory of Elohim lightened it, and the
Lamb is its Light.
Rev. 2123
