Lighting the Hanukkah Candles and how Yahshua is revealed
in the Menorah
First night is Echad
First night light the Shamash candle, then the first night candle
Yahshua came as a servant to minister. The one true G-d is Echad, give Him your attention and devotion.
Matt. 20:26; John 13:1-5; Isaiah 53; John 13:14
Second Night is Unity
Second night, light the Shamash candle then the second night candle for unity; then re-light another first nigh candle; Echad
Unity that they may be just as we are one. Bringing together the lost to know Yahshua. Each one of us has a different task; by working together in unity as one body- we work together with a single purpose of serving and glorifying G-d.
John 17:20-26
Third Night : Unity with three sides
Lught the Shamash, Unity with three sides, unity and echad candles
Elohim is Father/Creator; Redeemer; Ruach
We are called to be separate and complete; to serve Elohim with our spirit, soul, and body because we love Him.
Matthew 3:13-17; Ephesians 4:1-6
Fourth Night: Judgment
Light Shamash, Judgment, 3 sided unity, and echad
Judgment for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Elohim
We fall short by doing the things that we should not have done and by not doing the things that we should have done. Share the light; dispel the darkness and shame the adversary.
Romans 3:21-26; James 1:17
Fifth Night: Grace/undeserved gift
Light Shamash, Grace, Judgment, 3 sided unity, unity, and echad.
For by Grace you have been saved through trust and not of yourselves.
Elohim’s gift without price; his only begotten Son suffered a horrific torment and death. Accepting this priceless gift without price provides a way to become reconciled to G-d. Share the gift; introduce others to YHVH/Yahshua
Ephesians 2:8-9
Sixth Night: El Shaddai; G-d Almighty
Light the Shamash, El-Shaddai, grace, judgment, 3 sided unity, unity, and echad
And we say: Adonai! HaShem! How glorious is your name throughout the earth!
El-Shaddai’s final creation was on the sixth day; He created man in His image and breathed into him the breath of life.
Ask HaShem for wisdom to choose wisely as you serve Him
Psalm 8:1; Genesis 2
Seventh Night: Shabbat Rest; Fourth Word or
Commandment
Light the Shamash, Sabbath Rest, grace, judgment, 3 sided unity, unity, and echad
A new beginning. If anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. He has been made new. He begins a new life with Messiah.
By putting an end to one thing is to start or begin something new:
- End sinful behaviors and begin right living G-d’s way
- End guilt and begin freedom
- Stop fear. Fear is from HaSatan. Start loving and caring for the souls of fellow man. Love comes from Elohim
- Dedicate yourself and say: Hineni Elohim: Here am I; use me.
- This paper described how Yahshua HaMashiach is the Chanukkah Menorah; all 9 candles. The Maccabees and their faithful followers provided the freedom to light the Chanukkia and its nine candles. Baruch HaShem for the Light of the world and this special time to commemorate and learn about Him.
Eighth Night: New Beginning
If anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation; he has been made new; he begins a new life with Messiah.
By putting an end to one thing is to start or begin something new:
a) end sinful lifestyle (Egypt) and begin right living (progressive salvation)
b) end guilt; begin freedom to live G-d’s Torah
c) stop fear; fear is of Satan; start loving; love comes from Elohim
d) dedicate yourself and say: “Hineni Elohim-use me. Behold, here am I Elohim; use me.”
We have just illustrated Yahshua the Messiah in the Chanukkah Menorah- all nine candles. The Maccabees and their faithful followers provided freedom to light the Chanukkah menorah and continue the teaching of the miracle throughout the ages. First, the miracle of the one crucible of oil lasting eight days. Second, the conception of Yahshua the Messiah as the Light of the world during this time.
