PROPHETIC CHAMBER
Note:
The following message is the second part of a teaching that consists of two parts.
It is recommended to read the message chronologically.
 
The Eternal Order of Melchizedek and the Blood of Jesus Christ
 
It is therefore no coincidence that the eternal order of Melchizedek (note: kingship and priesthood) is tied to the father and the son. This means, everyone who is moving in the blood of Jesus Christ (note: of forgiveness and redemption), is able to serve in the son-ship of God as king and priest in the eternal order of Melchizedek (see Revelation 1:5-6 i.c.w. Hebrews 5:5-6).
 
Revelation 1:5-6:
… 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father – to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
 
Hebrews 5:5-6:
5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him (see Psalm 2:7), “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”
6 And he says in another place (see Psalm 110:4), “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
 
The Movement of the Order of Melchizedek
 
The order of Melchizedek does not have a linear movement, as it is not subject to the temporal; indeed, it moves in a circle (note: eternal) which equals the rotary movement of the wheels of the four heavenly creatures in front of the throne (see Ezekiel 1:15-21).
 
Ezekiel 1:15-21:
15 As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.
16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel.
17As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went.
18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
 
The order of the eternal priesthood of Melchizedek carries the four faces of God, which are the characters of the king-lion, priest-ox, lawgiver-son of man and the oracle-flying eagle.
 
Eternal Son-ship and the Greater Weight
 
When you, as a believer in Christ Jesus, move in the eternal order of Melchizedek through the blood Jesus shed, you begin to work together with the Heavenly Father as a king and priest in the eternal son-ship, and you stand in His holy presence which causes you as a spiritual being to receive a greater weight of God's guidance in your heart; this can be seen on earth in the form of weighty words (note: important; see Jeremiah 31:33b i.c.w. Ezekiel 11:19).
 
Jeremiah 31:33b:
… 33b “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.“
 
Ezekiel 11:19:
19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.
 
The Heart of Flesh and the Breath of God
 
The heart of flesh, as it is mentioned in Hebrews 11:19, does not only carry the power of the written letter, but that of a letter breathed by the breath of God (see 2 Corinthians 3:6).
 
2 Corinthians 3:6:
6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant – not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
 
The “Oracle of Eternity“
 
Once we are aware of the presence of Holy Spirit, who was placed in our hearts by Jesus Christ, we start to function as an “oracle of eternity” before God and men through the influence of His light (see John 16:7.13-15).
 
John 16:7.13-15:
7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. …
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
 
It means, we let the light of glory from the face of the Father shine around us and through us before the people. People cannot embrace or comprehend this glorious light with their minds, as it is the revealing light which is interwoven with eternal time (see John 1:5 i.c.w. Isaiah 60:19; Revelation 21:23).
 
John 1:5:
5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
 
Isaiah 60:19:
19 The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
 
Revelation 21:23:
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
 
When God's revealing light, by His throne room movement on the earth, influences the heart of a believer who moves in the eternal order of Melchizedek, it causes the following process: Light flows through revelation knowledge and truth, which are already established in the heart of the believer, therefore the breast plate is illuminated, and the respective letters of the sons of Israel on the gemstones determined by God are highlighted.
This leads to the white light of revelation from the throne room of God, by the presence of the Holy Spirit, entering the position of the sons of God which brings about a combination or mixture of colours.
This colour combination is made up of various Hebrew letters which form a word or sentence of guidance in a certain character (note: of the sons of Israel) for the people of God. Concurrently, these letters carry a special value.
This light may appear separate and mixed, similar to the colours of the rainbow which consists of seven colours, with colour transitions in between.
 
The Little and the Perspective of God
 
To be able to stand in the place behind the torn curtain as a priest according to the order of Melchizedek, we need to see the little in time and space from God's perspective, as the Holy of Holies is the smallest room in God's temple, where no earthly light floods it.
 
The place of time and space determined by the Heavenly Father, reveals the great, and this means the relationship with Him – a relationship, one can only enter through the sacrifice of His son (see Matthew 25:40; Luke 16:10a; Luke 19:17 i.c.w. John 14:6; 1 Corinthians 1:18).
 
Matthew 25:40:
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
 
Luke 16:10a:
10a “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, …“
 
Luke 19:17:
17“ ‘Well done, my good servant!’ his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’
 
John 14:6:
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
 
1 Corinthians 1:18:
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
 
Spiritual authority can only grow through the little, God has chosen (see 1 Corinthians 1:27-28).
 
1 Corinthians 1:27-28:
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are, …
 
The Revealing Light of the Father's Glory
 
The revelation God is bringing to the earth in this time and the future, can – as afore mentioned – not be grasped by reason of mind, as it exceeds it by far.
 
The revealing light of the father's glory is situated in the land of the living and testifies of future events, even though it might not be understood through current faith systems.
The influence of God's revealing light is the movement coming from the throne room. It is the movement of the cherubim as lightnings from the spirit realm, influencing the spirit of those who move in the eternal order of Melchizedek (see Psalm 36:10).
 
Psalm 36:9:
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
 
Melchizedek and the City of Peace
 
Melchizedek is Jesus Christ, God's only begotten son, in the eternal government authority as King of righteousness and High priest. His seat of government is the eternal city of peace (note: shalom), which is the bride or wife of the lamb of God (see Genesis 14:18 i.c.w. Revelation 21:2.9-11).
 
Genesis 14:18:
18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, …
 
Revelation 21:2.9-11:
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. …
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
 
Justice and Righteousness
 
Only by the presence of God's justice and righteousness in our lives can we experience the Heavenly Father's answer, so that His light can flow through us like a gleaming river (see Amos 5:24).
 
Amos 5:24:
24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
PROPHESIED ON THE 03’rd OF DECEMBER 2019 | 05’th OF KISLEV 5780, NAJOTH BERLIN – SPANDAU
 
“There is the potential of the prophetic word that communicates the promise of God through the glory assigned to you, so that you act in faith!
It is about the light containing the words of promise (see John 1:1.4; Revelation 19:13 i.c.w. John 8:12; Matthew 5:14a)!

There is the power of God, which acts like a lasso, so that it comes to a sudden stop in order to bring up the promise, says the spirit of the prophet!
Make sure this time that you completely resist the enemy, because it is his plan to block you by sinfulness in your time!
Your clear ‘No!’ to the seductive influence of the adversary is crucial at this time because he has planned to capture you in time to suddenly turn your presence into past (see Matthew 5:37)!

Pay attention to the joy of the Father before you, into which the Holy Spirit is leading you, making the words of the Heavenly Father resound in your assigned measure of glory!
These words are like an echo, because the plan of heaven for you on earth is at stake, says the spirit of the prophet (see Matthew 6:10)!
You are in the period of legal claim, as people in your life have not recognized the times correctly and you faithfully kept the promise of God (see Genesis 25:23.30-34 i.c.w. Genesis 27:5-10)!

It is the moment that God brings about, because you have the legal spiritual right so that there is synchronization of heaven and earth above your life! As a result, the ‘oil’ is flowing in transparency to you and to the place determined by God (see Zechariah 4:12 i.c.w. Matthew 3:16-17)!
It is about the supply that touches all areas of your life!

There is a ‘wild’ circumstance that God will use because of the glory assigned to you in order to draw you closer to His presence and to reveal the blessing!

Where there is a lie, there will be a sudden transformation, so that the truth of God's promise will be revealed, says the spirit of the prophet (see Genesis 27:21-23)!
As you interact in the old way in your way of communication, the Lord will draw you closer into His fatherly presence through the promise given to you!
There is an investment which you make and which is a living sacrifice for you (see Genesis 27:24-25)!

This sacrifice leads to the promise of God capturing you, so that you begin to identify with it, even if it seems strange to you at first!

Through your legal right and your identification with the promise of God, you are drawn ever closer into the presence of the Heavenly Father!
This leads to a divine touch in your life, so that you enter into a greater spiritual intimacy with the Heavenly Father (see Genesis 27:26-27)!
As a result, you begin to see in His light the words of the promise (see Psalm 36:9)!”
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
The Season We are in
 
We are now in the season where at the outside the hours of darkness are increasing and the hours of light are decreasing. This fact is not a fact to become frightened or depressed. God is pointing by this fact only to the increasing burning light within our “four walls” which is linked to more warmth!

As the one new man (note: the people of Israel and we as gentiles; see Ephesians 2:14-15) is in the season of Hanukkah and Christmas which is linked to the increasing light because the candles (“1”+ 8 candles) of the Hanukkiah (note: the special lamp stand for the Hanukkah feast) are getting every night over eight days one by one ignited and also the lamp stand of the Advent with “the four candles” is getting ignited week by week I want to make the teaching of Robert Heidler about the feast of Hannukah for us accessible which will help us to understand the time where we are in.
 
Daniel Glimm
 
The Sentimental Season of the Year
 
We are in very special season of the year. It is the sentimental season of the year, where a lot of emotional things are attached to it and these are good things.
But God also wants us to know, that it is strong supernatural season, that shows the time table of God for miracles to take place.

As you go through the time of Hanukkah (note: It is a Hebrew word and means “dedication”.), enjoy the time with your friends and family but do not forget, that it is a supernatural season. Expect from God to break through in a supernatural way.

The time of Hanukkah is also touching the month in which also Christmas is celebrated.
Christmas is a time to remember God’s love by sending Jesus.
Some believers think, if we celebrate the biblical feasts we can´t celebrate Christmas. That is not true. Because, we are a one new man in Christ Jesus, we are allowed to celebrate the feats of God on both sides (note: see Romans 2:13-18; the messianic Jews and the gentile Christians).

Even if Jesus was not born in the time frame of the 24'th - 26'th of December it means not, that we are not allowed to celebrate Christmas. It is the time frame, where we remember the sending of Jesus to the earth by the Heavenly Father.
Jesus was normally born at the time of Sukkot (note: Tabernacles).
We as born again believers should be thankful for every opportunity of remembering God’s love- JESUS and to talk about it.

Christmas is a wonderful time to celebrate God´s love. It is a time to share His love with your friends, neighbors, family and to thank God, that He loved you so much that He sent His son!
As said before is December not only the month of Christmas but also the month of Hanukkah.
Many Christians don´t know much about Hanukkah. They think of it as just a Jewish holiday.
But if you really understand Hanukkah, it is also for Christians.
To celebrate Hanukkah is a great blessing.

Hanukkah is not an Old Testament feast, which is ordained by God.
Hanukkah is not even mentioned in the Old Testament but it is found in the New Testament in John 10.
Jesus gave at Hanukkah- the feast of dedication an important message in John 10:22-38.
 
John 10:22-38 (NIV):
22 Then came the Festival of Dedication (note: Hanukkah) at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade.
24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
30 I and the Father are one.”
31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”
33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods” ’ (see Psalm 82:6)? 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?
37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.
38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
 
This passage reflects, that Hanukkah was a special feast for Jesus.
He went into the temple at this time to identify himself with Hanukkah.
This shows, that if Jesus was celebrating Hanukkah, it is not just a feast for the Jews it is also a celebration for everyone, who knows the God of Israel.
 
The History of Hanukkah
 
In 167 BC the Greek ruler, Antiochus Epiphanes, decreed that all his subjects must convert to the pagan Greek religion.
At that time Israel was under the domination of the Greek Empire, which was a time of great testing for the Jews.
Antiochus outlawed Judaism & worship in the temple. He forced the Jewish people to convert by torturing and murdering many of them. Then he defiled the temple, setting up a statue of Zeus in the Holy of Holies and sacrificing a pig on the altar.

Finally a Jewish priest named Mattathias could take it no more. A Greek official had come to his town, set up an altar to a pagan god and ordered Mattathias to offer a sacrifice on it. Mattathias refused. He said: ”Though all the nations that are under the king's dominion obey him... yet will I and my sons walk in the covenant of our fathers." (see 1.Maccabees 2:19-20)

Then another Jew came forward to offer the pagan sacrifice and Mattathias took out his sword  and killed him.
Then Mattathias and his sons attacked the Greek official and killed him too.
When the rebellion begun, Judah, son of Mattathias, led a small band of Jews against the powerful Greek armies.
Judah had an interesting nickname “Maccabee”- “the hammer” Maccabee= acrostic said it was the sentence: “Who is like You, among the gods, oh Lord.” This was their battle cry.

Amazingly, Judah and his followers defeated the Greek armies in 165 BC, which was a miraculous victory.
By getting back the independence, Judah´s first goal was it to restore the temple. As the temple was restored and cleansed, they proclaimed a great feast to rededicate it to the Lord.
The people of Israel gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate it.

But as the time came to enlighten the menorah in the temple, they had only the measure of oil to shine for one day.  But a miracle happened at this feast and the oil was sufficing for eight, which was a miracle of multiplication.
It was a miracle like in the time of Elisha, where the oil of the widow multiplicated (see 2 Kings 4:1-7).
 
2 Kings 4:1-7:
1 The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”
2 Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”
3 Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few.
4 Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.”
5 She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring.
6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
7 She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”
 
Hanukkah is a Special Celebration for Several Reasons:
 
It is a celebration of restoration: The temple was restored.
It is also a celebration of God´s miracles. Hanukkah is furthermore called the feast of lights, which is represented by a special Menorah, that is called Hanukkiah.
Instead of seven branches of the Menorah the Hanukkiah has nine branches. One lamp for each day as a sign for the remembrance of the miracle of the oil multiplication. The ninth light is called “shamash”, which means servant and is not counted, because it serves for the ignition of all the eight lamps of the Hanukkiah.
 
What is the message of Hanukkah?
 
1) God protects His people
 
  • The enemy had tried to destroy God´s people, but God is a God who cares for His sheep.
  • God gave Judah Maccabeus a miraculous victory.
  • The first key of Hanukkah is: God protects those, who are His. The message of Jesus at Hanukkah in John 10:22 is: “I am the protector of My sheep.” – Hanukkah is about it.
2) God Wants to Restore His Temple
 
  • Judah Maccabeus´s highest priority was to see the temple cleansed and God’s presence restored.
  • He removed all idols and impurity.
  • He rebuilt and restored all that was lost.
  • He rededicated it to the Lord.
  • He led a joyful celebration to welcome the presence of God back into their midst.
  • God honored the work of Judah with a display of His glory.
 
Jesus Zeal for the House of the Father
 
Hanukkah is the celebration of the restoration of His temple. That’s another reason why Hanukkah was a special feast to Jesus, because the temple was a special place- the house of the Father for Jesus (see John 2:16).

Jesus honored the temple and called it “My Father´s House”, what reflects, that the restoration of the temple was close to His heart. It was the longing of Jesus to see the temple restored.
We can see this kind of longing in the beginning of Jesus ministry- John 2:14-17 and at the end of His ministry- Mark 11:15-17. Jesus cleansed/ purified the temple and had a zeal to see the Father’s house restored. It is still zeal today, because we are as believers an individual temple of the Holy Spirit but also a corporate temple (see 1 Corinthians 6:19; 1 Corinthians 3:16ff.).

One of the goals of Jesus in the world today is the restoration of God’s temple and to remove all sin/ impurity as well as restoring God’s glory to His temple.
 
3) We Serve a God of Miracles!
 
As Judah chose to honor God by restoring His temple, the glory of God came down and miracles were released! Remember, that Hanukkah is the celebration of God’s miracles.
The blessing of Hanukkah is this: “Blessed are You, Lord our God, king of the universe who performed miracles for our fathers, at this season.”
 
The “Dreidel”- A Call to Turn
 
At Hanukkah the Jews or young Jewish children are playing with the “Dreidel”, that is a spinning top and carries four Hebrew letters.: “Nun (50), Gimel (3), He (5), Schin (300)”, which carry the statement of “A great miracle happened there/here!” (note: The value of the Hebrew letters is “358”).
The same numerical value of „358“ has also the Hebrew word "maschiach"  which means Messiah (note: The word is made up of the Hebrew letters Mem-40/ Schin-300/ Jod-10/ Chet-8).
Furthermore the breastplate of the high priest which is called in Hebrew "choschän" has also the same numerical value of “358”.

Prophetically is this explanation saying: “Turn to your Messiah Jesus Christ to feel His heartbeat like John and shine with His love.” (see John 13:23-25 in conjunction with Exodus 28:15-21.28-30; Hebrews 3:1-2)

Because Jesus confronted the accusers of his time at the feast of Hanukkah with the works of his Heavenly Father, it should call us to proclaim God’s great miracles of the past, which releases faith in the hearer to trust God for miracles now (see John 10:25.32.38).
 
John 10:25.32.38:
25 Jesus answered, I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me, …
… 32 but Jesus said to them, I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?
38 But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
 
4) Hanukkah- A Celebration of Light. It is the Feast of Lights.
 
The message of Hanukkah is, that light overcomes darkness (see John 1). The light shines in the darkness and the darkness could not hold it (see John 8:12; Matthew 5:14).
 
John 8:12:
12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
 
Matthew 5:14:
14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
 
Hanukkah is the season, where God wants to put His light on you, so that you shine more intense.
The Hanukkiah gives a picture of Jesus! The “first/ ninth” candle is called the servant candle (note: “shamash”), which directs to Jesus.

In the 7-branched Menorah the center lamp was called the lamp of the Lord but in 9- branched Hanukiah the central lamp is called the servant. This is Jesus.
Jesus is the Lord but He came as a servant to lay down His life and  release God’s blessing in the earth. This is what the Hanukkiah pictures.
The servant candle brings light to all the other candles!
Each night of Hanukkah an additional candle is added until all are lit, which pictures, that Jesus is the light, who is spreading through the world.
 
The Second Reason of the Importance of Hanukkah for Born Again Believers
 
It exists a second reason why Hanukkah is important for us as Christians.
Jesus is normally not born on December 25'th, because the shepherds don't keep flocks in the fields in late December.
At Jesus birth time, the shepherds were outside and keeping their flocks.
In Luke 1:5 it is said, that Zechariah was priest at the time of king Herod and belonged to the priestly division of Abijah.
In 1 Chronicles 24:10 it is said, that the priests of Abijah served in the temple during the 12'th-18'th of Sivan (note: June, the priests served for about two weeks once in a year).
 
Luke 1:5:
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron.
 
1 Chronicles 24:10:
… 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, ...
 
When was Jesus born?
 
The angel Gabriel appears to the priest Zechariah at the month of Sivan between the 12'th - 18'th and Elizabeth conceives at the 25'th Sivan and after 285 days pregnancy, John the Baptist was born at the 15'th of Nisan, which is the feast of Passover. At Passover it is in Jewish tradition, that people place a chair for the prophet Elijah for the possibility if he supposes to show up.
It is interesting that John the Baptist was walking in the spirit of Elijah and was born at the feast of Passover.
In Luke 1:36 Elizabeth was in the 6'th  month of her pregnancy, which was the 25'th of  Kislew. And the month of Kislew is the month in which Hanukkah begins.

This shows, that it was the time where Jesus was conceived by Mary.
After a normal pregnancy circa 285 days, Jesus was possibly born at the 15'th of Tishri, which is Sukkot, the feast of Tabernacles.
This reflects, that Jesus was probably not born at Christmas but He was probably conceived at Hanukkah- the feast of lights and dedication. Jesus was conceived by Mary in the midst of the celebration of the miracles of God  through the Holy Spirit, so that Mary could birth forth THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!
 
The message of Hanukkah is:
 
  1. God cares for His people. Thank Him, that you are under His protection.
  2. God wants His temple restored. Thank Him, that we are His temple! Thank Him, that He is restoring His church.
  3. God is a God of miracles. Thank Him, that He is a living God, who works in power. Learn to expect miracles!
  4. Jesus is the light of the world. Hanukkah is a time to let His light shine.
At Christmas we celebrate that Jesus came. At Hanukkah we celebrate why He came.
This is why the Hanukkah is the key celebration for the church today.
Hanukkah celebrates what God is doing in His Church now.
God is in the process of restoring His temple. He is calling us to be an Oasis for the nations, to reveal His love and His care.

He wants us to demonstrate His power through the manifestation of miracles.
He is calling us to shine with His light into a world of darkness.
 
So be encouraged to celebrate the feast of lights in this year. You can get a real Hanukkiah or just use 9 small candlesticks. As you light the candles each night proclaim, that God’s great miracle happened at Hanukkah and that miracles happen today.

Praise God for Jesus, the light of the world.
