Fesitval of Lights ~

At our home, we decorate everywhere with white festive lights. One of the names for this holiday is the Fesitval of Lights. Yeshua (Jesus) is known as the Light of the World so we celebrate that. The front yard dons tiki torches that stand out boldly as our outside hanukiah. We stand as a family each night and use the ‘Servant Candle’ to light the others. Inside the house, we read the Hanukkah story and discuss the price that disiples have paid to uphold and guard the ways of the Torah throughout time. The story of Hanukkah shadows the forthcoming of the anti-Christ as one of the meanings of Antiochus Epiphanes is ‘God Manifest’ or ‘God Revealed’. Knowing that history repeats itself, we feel it important to impart the truth of scripture and history.
