  • Lessons from Hanukah and the Maccabees

    You probably have heard about Hanukah, the winter festival of the Jews in which they light the menorah. However, you probably don’t know the story of the Maccabees behind it. There is lots to learn.

    First, I tell you the basic history, and then a little about how the rabbis interpret it, and how the Jews celebrate today. Then, I offer some thought questions.

    The wildest thing is how it parallels today! Stick with it to the end. Then, really think. What were the issues then? Now? So, what does it mean to be faithful to YHWH?

    Notice, that the Macabees were lauded for serving the good of the whole even at cost to themselves. But wouldn’t have the Antiochus officials said that they should have Hellenized and gone along, and given them more money? Sometimes you judge how much someone has contributed by how much they lost and not how much they gained.

    Teaser: I didn’t find the miracle of the oil in I Maccabees.  Not in II Maccabees. Hmmm. But I did read about the Battle of Emmaus! Wow!

      My A&P and messianic friends will like this.

      3. Here is the consensus rabbinical explanation. (So very funny: I asked a respected rabbi here this question and he referred me to Rabbi Google. I figured I had so little knowledge that such would not be a reliable source. Was he perhaps unwilling to face public pressure because the people like Hanukah? I may never know.)

      Why Were the Rabbis So Uncomfortable With the Maccabees?
      That being the case, why do the Rabbis decide to focus entirely on this miracle of the oil? The 16th-century Maharal of Prague, Rabbi Judah Loew, offers a concise answer to this puzzling rabbinical emphasis on the miracle of the oil: The main reason that the days of Hanukkah were instituted was to celebrate the victory over the Greeks.
      4. Here is the Lubavitcher word on the holiday. They are very conservative, millenial, and evangelistic.

    2. Feast of Tabernacles – NOW! Wow!
      Today we define and explain the original Feast of Tabernacles, also called the Feast of Booths, or Sukkoth.  We talked about how Jesus fulfilled this feast also, in being Emmanuel, God with us. We talk about the not yet of the prophetic meaning of the end-times.  That eschatological means is proleptic: both now and not […]

    3. Do the The Feasts of Israel Have Prophetic Meaning?
      Do the The Feasts of Israel Have Prophetic Meaning? Is it legitimate to try to find prophetic meaning in the “Feasts of Israel”  (or better named the “moedim” the appointed times of God)?  Shouldn’t we just take the Scripture at face value? Who is to say what they mean? And then, if we do take […]

    4. Day of Atonement : What is Sin?
      There seems to be quite a lot of confusion about what sin is, how sin is best dealt with, and to what extent gentiles should keep the Mosaic Law. All answered here. And a great time to answer them, as we approach the Day of Atonement. The Day of Atonement is a moed, an appointed […]

    5. FEASTS OF TRUMPETS
      Seeing so much hunger and hearing so little good teaching,  I have posted an audio file on the Feast of Trumpets, more commonly known as Rosh HaShannah. I have defined the Feast of Trumpets, relayed the relevant Scriptures, or most of them, and applied it. The trumpet announces the presence of royalty, war, warning, and […]

    6. 12 Lies in the Church
      Recently, I ran a series on how to tell what is true on The Great Shalom Broadcast: Overcoming Learning Problems, with a view to helping mothers and educators teach their children in these dangerous and bewildering times. Then, I just had this one come up in my spirit.  These may not be the most important […]

    8. Blood Moon – Definite Meaning
      We had another blood moon on 5/15/22. Less conversation this time than back in 2014/2015. And it was on “Second Passover.” Were you confused about blood moons then? Was it vague? Were you disappointed? Have cataclysmi

    9. Feast of First Fruits and the Feast of Weeks
      A clear re-teaching of the Feast of First Fruits and the Feast of Weeks. Let’s just go through Leviticus 23 and cover the 7 feasts of the Lord, and the sabbath. We will find that there has been some confusion that First Fruits IS Shavuot/Pentecost. We will clear up the confusion. And talk a little bit why it is important.
      My mission is to set the captive free. This may seem like a calm going over what we all know, but really, it will meet the mission. There are those who are estranged, but God wishes to reach out to them and bring them to Himself. There are those who are bewildered and hurt. God wants to put soft cotton bandages on those hurts and heal them. Some are resigned, and on their last sighs. God wants to breath new life into those lungs. Get out the poison gases and put in the oxygen of the Spirit.
      We were so blessed to know about the Feasts of the Lord, the moed, way back in the 1970s. There is more to know. More clarity. More energy will come from it.
      For those who will email me, I will send you both a document and a audio track that will discuss how Jews today celebrate the Feasts of Weeks. This includes the blessings, both in Hebrew and in English. Just email me. Tell me who you are. And I will email you this free gift. Please be invited to let me know of your situation. What is going on? What are you interested in learning? What is going on?
      For anyone who is interested enough to send an offering, and is interested in the more recent application of the Feast of First Fruits to (first fruits) offerings, I will email you an audio track concerning that. Please go to www.JesusPatternSon.org to find ways to give electronically. Alternatively, for land mail, send a check to Sharon Sarles P.O. Box 971 Cedar Park, TX 78630. Please enclose your name, land address and email so I can get the information to you.

    10. How to be Perfect
      Right where we first found out that we could become perfect, we are told how. Somehow, though, no one ever got around preaching about that. For some reason… or other?…. Ephesians 4:11&12 was always referenced as the primary was to become perfect.
      If Jesus gives us a command to be perfect, wouldn’t He have told us how? Oh! But He did. It will be a happy surprise!
      The alternative is a bunch of rules. If The Law, the Torah couldn’t work for that, how would some new set work? Especially if they keep changing? Oy vey.
      Maybe we were confused … or snookered.
      Amazingly, in the very passage where we established that it was appropriate to have an aspiration to be perfect because God gave us that command, God also gave us the way. Spoiler alert: it is NOT obeying the ministry. It is walking in love. Wow!
      Have a listen!
      From now on, please check out www.JesusPatternSon.org — which is combined with www.JesusHijoModelo.com.
      For now, we have 2 podcasts, and only the English one is in Apple Podcasts. They rejected the one in Spanish. I don’t know why. I am thinking we will consolidate the two, but right now we are a bit in between.
      Please please please write me. Tell me who you are, why you are interested, and where you are. Tell me the situation there. [email protected] Would love to hear your story. Love and Blessings.
