Happy Feast of Lights!!

A Brooklyn resident lighting candles on Hannuk...Image via WikipediaIt's the time of celebration of victory and miracles. Chanukkah, or the Feast of Lights and Feast of Dedication, is an eight day holy day that observes the victory our the enemy and the miracle of lights for eight days. Jesus celebrated the day in the winter and went to the Temple. The story of Chanukkah is found in the book of I Maccabbes, where Judas Maccabees and the priests stood off an evil Seleucid Syrian Antiochus IV Epiphanes in theTemple for eight days. They only had enough oil for a day but miraculously it burned for eight days.


Christians celebration the Feast of Lights, in respect and awe of the Lord Jesus Christ as the "Light of the World" and it is a time of prayer and reflection with the Lord to re-dedicate ourselves as living temples of His Holy Spirit. We place at our tables a menorah or candelabra with eight staves and each day light a candle and give a prayer of thanksgiving and worship to our Lord for His Grace and Mercy He offers of Eternal salvation.  This is the victory we have over sin in Jesus who gave His Life on the cross and rose triumphant from the Tomb on the third day. During these eight days we give gifts to family, friends, co-workers, and help others who are less fortunate, the poor, homeless, and orphans. The tradition at our house is a buffet-style dinner with a dessert tray of pastries, jelly doughnuts, and fruit tarts.

I just wanted to take out this time to wish you and yours the best and happiest Holiday and Holy Day season. God (YHVH) bless you!

The Parable of the Fig Tree

Image
Image via Wikipedia According to statistics we have lost the most in population than any other state. One main reason due to unemployment. Officials here are planning to bring jobs into the area. Just how they have a job on their hands (no pun intended). My life is surrounded by certain events from the time I was born to the present. I was born ten years after Israel became a nation in May 1948. The fig tree was just beginning to bloom. I'm referring to the parable spoken by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24. From the time Israel came into existence, America has gone through changes and one of them is a decline in our culture. In our century alone most biblical prophecy has been fulfilled. The trouble with us now we tend to ignore the consequences. So far, in my lifetime in 1962 the Supreme Court had ordered prayer out of our schools. Our faith is still under fire. California lawyer Michael Newdow sued the U.S. Congress that the phase under God in the Pledge of Allegiance was de
