We are living in an era that violently rages against Israel, the Jewish people, and Christians. Our way of life is under attack and the hate filled terror we are witnessing in Israel is spreading around the world. This is not new. It has played out over and over again throughout history. Hanukkah is one of those stories of the terror that came to us under the Greek empire. The lessons this story contains are the very truths that will give us the strength to persevere, and to defend our way of life, our people and our nations today. Fear not, God is with us! Happy Hanukkah!
