I love hanukkah, scott, it's my favorite holiday.
00:01:33.152 --> 00:01:34.086
It's my favorite holiday. >> it's amazing.
00:01:34.153 --> 00:01:34.887
>> it's amazing. i just remember growing up
00:01:34.953 --> 00:01:36.255
I just remember growing up as a jew we had hanukkah
00:01:36.321 --> 00:01:37.489
As a jew we had hanukkah and the christians
00:01:37.556 --> 00:01:38.624
And the christians had christmas,
00:01:38.690 --> 00:01:40.392
Had christmas, and never the two would meet.
00:01:40.459 --> 00:01:42.528
And never the two would meet. but i think, by enlarge, many,
00:01:42.594 --> 00:01:44.196
But i think, by enlarge, many, many people don't know
00:01:44.263 --> 00:01:45.797
Many people don't know what hanukkah is.
00:01:45.864 --> 00:01:47.833
What hanukkah is. >> i just wanna say that
00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:48.567
>> i just wanna say that hanukkah always surpassed
00:01:48.634 --> 00:01:49.968
Hanukkah always surpassed christmas because we had
00:01:50.035 --> 00:01:51.136
Christmas because we had eight days of presents.
00:01:51.203 --> 00:01:52.304
Eight days of presents. >> eight days of presents.
00:01:52.371 --> 00:01:53.338
>> eight days of presents. >> eight days and you guys had
00:01:53.405 --> 00:01:54.339
>> eight days and you guys had one and i was happy about that.
00:01:54.406 --> 00:01:56.208
One and i was happy about that. >> yeah, i love --
00:01:56.275 --> 00:01:57.142
>> yeah, i love -- >> i love christmas too.
00:01:57.209 --> 00:01:57.910
>> i love christmas too. >> i love christmas, too.
00:01:57.976 --> 00:01:58.844
>> i love christmas, too. >> yeah.
00:01:58.911 --> 00:01:59.811
>> yeah. >> what's hanukkah?
00:01:59.878 --> 00:02:00.379
>> what's hanukkah? where does it come from?
00:02:00.445 --> 00:02:01.780
Where does it come from? >> yeah.
00:02:01.847 --> 00:02:02.614
>> yeah. the reason that hanukkah
00:02:02.681 --> 00:02:03.115
The reason that hanukkah is not well known outside
00:02:03.182 --> 00:02:05.350
Is not well known outside of the jewish community,
00:02:05.417 --> 00:02:06.285
Of the jewish community, for the most part,
00:02:06.351 --> 00:02:07.553
For the most part, is that it took place
00:02:07.619 --> 00:02:09.121
Is that it took place during what we call
00:02:09.188 --> 00:02:10.389
During what we call the intertestamental period,
00:02:10.455 --> 00:02:11.790
The intertestamental period, a we can go back into that.
00:02:11.857 --> 00:02:13.392
A we can go back into that. but it was written
00:02:13.458 --> 00:02:14.927
But it was written after the canonization
00:02:14.993 --> 00:02:16.328
After the canonization of the old testament
00:02:16.395 --> 00:02:17.930
Of the old testament and before the new,
00:02:17.996 --> 00:02:18.664
And before the new, about 134 b.c.
00:02:18.730 --> 00:02:20.933
About 134 b.c. but it's a hugely
00:02:20.999 --> 00:02:21.800
But it's a hugely important holiday.
00:02:21.867 --> 00:02:22.868
Important holiday. and by the way,
00:02:22.935 --> 00:02:23.402
And by the way, although it's not
00:02:23.468 --> 00:02:23.969
Although it's not in the protestant bible,
00:02:24.036 --> 00:02:26.038
In the protestant bible, it's in the apocryphal books
00:02:26.104 --> 00:02:27.639
It's in the apocryphal books of the catholic bible,
00:02:27.706 --> 00:02:29.374
Of the catholic bible, the four books of maccabees.
00:02:29.441 --> 00:02:32.878
The four books of maccabees. but it's extremely important,
00:02:32.945 --> 00:02:34.179
But it's extremely important, as i said,
00:02:34.246 --> 00:02:34.913
As i said, an extremely important holiday,
00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:36.048
An extremely important holiday, because it took place
00:02:36.114 --> 00:02:38.350
Because it took place at a time when, as usual,
00:02:38.417 --> 00:02:41.687
At a time when, as usual, israel was attacked.
00:02:41.753 --> 00:02:43.322
Israel was attacked. and this is a history --
00:02:43.388 --> 00:02:44.056
And this is a history -- this is our history, right?
00:02:44.122 --> 00:02:45.390
This is our history, right? a 3,500 year history
00:02:45.457 --> 00:02:48.260
A 3,500 year history of invasions conquering
00:02:48.327 --> 00:02:50.329
Of invasions conquering israel's subjugation.
00:02:50.395 --> 00:02:52.731
Israel's subjugation. at hanukkah in 134 b.c.
00:02:52.798 --> 00:02:55.234
At hanukkah in 134 b.c. or leading up to hanukkah
00:02:55.300 --> 00:02:57.135
Or leading up to hanukkah we were invaded by a world power
00:02:57.202 --> 00:03:00.272
We were invaded by a world power called the seleucids.
00:03:00.339 --> 00:03:01.607
Called the seleucids. and in fact, they were
00:03:01.673 --> 00:03:03.075
And in fact, they were the greeks that were based
00:03:03.141 --> 00:03:04.576
The greeks that were based in what's today syria
00:03:04.643 --> 00:03:06.645
In what's today syria and under a king antiochus
00:03:06.712 --> 00:03:09.848
And under a king antiochus epiphanes the fourth.
00:03:09.915 --> 00:03:11.583
Epiphanes the fourth. let's try saying that ten times.
00:03:11.650 --> 00:03:13.252
[laughter]
00:03:13.552 --> 00:03:13.852
Israel was invaded.
00:03:14.219 --> 00:03:15.587
Israel was invaded. this is a world power
00:03:15.654 --> 00:03:17.222
This is a world power and israel fought back.
00:03:17.289 --> 00:03:19.691
And israel fought back. they were heavily outnumbered,
00:03:19.758 --> 00:03:22.060
They were heavily outnumbered, but a ragtag group
00:03:22.127 --> 00:03:23.662
But a ragtag group of freedom fighters.
00:03:23.729 --> 00:03:26.465
Of freedom fighters. and this may be
00:03:26.531 --> 00:03:27.699
And this may be the first recorded example
00:03:27.766 --> 00:03:29.134
The first recorded example of guerrilla warfare.
00:03:29.201 --> 00:03:31.203
Of guerrilla warfare. these ragtag soldiers,
00:03:31.270 --> 00:03:35.440
These ragtag soldiers, civilians that became soldiers
00:03:35.507 --> 00:03:37.009
Civilians that became soldiers called the maccabees,
00:03:37.075 --> 00:03:39.111
Called the maccabees, were able to defeat
00:03:39.177 --> 00:03:41.179
Were able to defeat the seleucid,
00:03:41.246 --> 00:03:42.014
The seleucid, a world empire
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.283
A world empire equaling the strength
00:03:44.349 --> 00:03:45.083
Equaling the strength of the egyptians at that time.
00:03:45.150 --> 00:03:46.918
Of the egyptians at that time. and the miracle is one,
00:03:46.985 --> 00:03:48.553
And the miracle is one, that they defeated
00:03:48.620 --> 00:03:49.821
That they defeated the seleucids,
00:03:49.888 --> 00:03:51.623
The seleucids, and two, they --
00:03:51.690 --> 00:03:54.626
And two, they -- the temple had been desecrated
00:03:54.693 --> 00:03:56.528
The temple had been desecrated with the sacrifice of a pig
00:03:56.595 --> 00:03:58.964
With the sacrifice of a pig and the blood of the pig
00:03:59.031 --> 00:04:00.198
And the blood of the pig was poured out
00:04:00.265 --> 00:04:03.168
Was poured out in the holy of holies,
00:04:03.235 --> 00:04:04.169
In the holy of holies, making the temple
00:04:04.236 --> 00:04:05.237
Making the temple useless, defiled.
00:04:05.304 --> 00:04:08.440
Useless, defiled. well, the maccabees
00:04:08.507 --> 00:04:11.043
Well, the maccabees rebuilt the temple
00:04:11.109 --> 00:04:12.577
Rebuilt the temple and cleansed the temple,
00:04:12.644 --> 00:04:14.546
And cleansed the temple, and it's called
00:04:14.613 --> 00:04:15.380
And it's called the feast of rededication.
00:04:15.447 --> 00:04:16.581
The feast of rededication. it's the feast of lights,
00:04:16.648 --> 00:04:18.216
It's the feast of lights, it's the feast of dedication,
00:04:18.283 --> 00:04:19.751
It's the feast of dedication, and it's also,
00:04:19.818 --> 00:04:20.552
And it's also, really more accurately,
00:04:20.619 --> 00:04:21.787
Really more accurately, the feast of rededication.
00:04:21.853 --> 00:04:23.121
The feast of rededication. they rededicated the temple
00:04:23.188 --> 00:04:24.923
They rededicated the temple and there's a great miracle
00:04:24.990 --> 00:04:25.891
And there's a great miracle that took place that
00:04:25.957 --> 00:04:26.825
That took place that we'll talk about,
00:04:26.892 --> 00:04:27.993
We'll talk about, which is why we celebrate
00:04:28.060 --> 00:04:29.127
Which is why we celebrate it for eight days.
00:04:29.194 --> 00:04:30.395
It for eight days. well, i'll tell you,
00:04:30.462 --> 00:04:31.496
Well, i'll tell you, they had only enough oil
00:04:31.563 --> 00:04:32.297
They had only enough oil for one day and it lasted
00:04:32.364 --> 00:04:33.498
For one day and it lasted for eight while they
00:04:33.565 --> 00:04:34.466
For eight while they made new oil.
00:04:34.533 --> 00:04:35.434
Made new oil. >> yeah.
00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:36.034
>> yeah. >> and so, the "ner tamid,"
00:04:36.101 --> 00:04:38.103
>> and so, the "ner tamid," the lampstand,
00:04:38.170 --> 00:04:39.471
The lampstand, was rekindled and burned
00:04:39.538 --> 00:04:41.139
Was rekindled and burned until they had no oil
00:04:41.206 --> 00:04:42.207
Until they had no oil to put in there.
00:04:42.274 --> 00:04:42.808
To put in there. >> amazing.
00:04:42.874 --> 00:04:43.842
>> amazing. >> and we say this was
00:04:43.909 --> 00:04:44.576
>> and we say this was a great miracle.
00:04:44.643 --> 00:04:45.077
A great miracle. >> amazing.
00:04:45.143 --> 00:04:45.944
>> amazing. well, as a --
00:04:46.011 --> 00:04:46.578
Well, as a -- as christians,
00:04:46.645 --> 00:04:47.646
As christians, people might say,
00:04:47.713 --> 00:04:48.980
People might say, "well, hanukkah is
00:04:49.047 --> 00:04:49.815
"well, hanukkah is a jewish holiday,
00:04:49.881 --> 00:04:51.316
A jewish holiday, it's for the jews."
00:04:51.383 --> 00:04:52.718
It's for the jews." however, there's an
00:04:52.784 --> 00:04:53.852
However, there's an important message in
00:04:53.919 --> 00:04:55.821
Important message in the story of hanukkah that
00:04:55.887 --> 00:04:57.622
The story of hanukkah that i think is important for every
00:04:57.689 --> 00:04:59.124
I think is important for every believer in yeshua to know.
00:04:59.191 --> 00:05:01.760
Believer in yeshua to know. why would you say
00:05:01.827 --> 00:05:02.427
Why would you say it's important for believers
00:05:02.494 --> 00:05:03.662
It's important for believers in the messiah to celebrate
00:05:03.729 --> 00:05:05.864
In the messiah to celebrate and to understand hanukkah?
00:05:05.931 --> 00:05:07.366
And to understand hanukkah? >> well, i'll give you
00:05:07.432 --> 00:05:08.033
>> well, i'll give you the very simple,
00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:08.734
The very simple, most important reason,
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:09.801
Most important reason, without hanukkah,
00:05:09.868 --> 00:05:11.870
Without hanukkah, there's no christmas.
00:05:11.937 --> 00:05:13.739
There's no christmas. think about that.
00:05:13.805 --> 00:05:14.373
Think about that. without hanukkah, if --
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.842
Without hanukkah, if -- if the jewish people
00:05:16.908 --> 00:05:17.576
If the jewish people had been slaughtered,
00:05:17.642 --> 00:05:18.877
Had been slaughtered, there would have been
00:05:18.944 --> 00:05:19.478
There would have been no messiah.
00:05:19.544 --> 00:05:20.779
No messiah. jesus came 160 years later,
00:05:20.846 --> 00:05:23.181
Jesus came 160 years later, roughly 160 years later,
00:05:23.248 --> 00:05:25.684
Roughly 160 years later, or certainly 134,
00:05:25.751 --> 00:05:27.586
Or certainly 134, died 160 years later.
00:05:27.652 --> 00:05:29.821
Died 160 years later. and if the jewish people
00:05:29.888 --> 00:05:31.223
And if the jewish people had been wiped out,
00:05:31.289 --> 00:05:32.457
Had been wiped out, there would have been
00:05:32.524 --> 00:05:33.325
There would have been no christmas.
00:05:33.392 --> 00:05:34.192
No christmas. no hanukkah, no christmas.
00:05:34.259 --> 00:05:37.162
No hanukkah, no christmas. >> that's amazing.
00:05:37.229 --> 00:05:37.763
>> that's amazing. i think that the jewish people
00:05:37.829 --> 00:05:40.165
I think that the jewish people throughout history have
00:05:40.232 --> 00:05:43.101
Throughout history have always been a minority.
00:05:43.168 --> 00:05:45.771
Always been a minority. they've been --
00:05:45.837 --> 00:05:46.772
They've been -- it's like against all odds,
00:05:46.838 --> 00:05:48.573
It's like against all odds, in every situation,
00:05:48.640 --> 00:05:50.575
In every situation, they've ruled victorious.
00:05:50.642 --> 00:05:52.944
They've ruled victorious. and hanukkah is one
00:05:53.011 --> 00:05:54.112
And hanukkah is one of the most incredible seasons,
00:05:54.179 --> 00:05:56.581
Of the most incredible seasons, the most incredible seasons.
00:05:56.648 --> 00:05:57.616
The most incredible seasons. we have to remember
00:05:57.682 --> 00:05:58.784
We have to remember jesus is jewish, right?
00:05:58.850 --> 00:06:01.353
Jesus is jewish, right? and jesus knew about
00:06:01.420 --> 00:06:03.755
And jesus knew about hanukkah and jesus actually
00:06:03.822 --> 00:06:06.324
Hanukkah and jesus actually celebrated hanukkah.
00:06:06.391 --> 00:06:07.559
Celebrated hanukkah. i just --
00:06:07.626 --> 00:06:08.126
I just -- >> i just wanna highlight
00:06:08.193 --> 00:06:08.827
>> i just wanna highlight something you said
00:06:08.894 --> 00:06:09.528
Something you said that's so important.
00:06:09.594 --> 00:06:10.228
That's so important. when you call the jewish people
00:06:10.295 --> 00:06:11.596
When you call the jewish people a minority.
00:06:11.663 --> 00:06:12.564
A minority. >> yeah.
00:06:12.631 --> 00:06:13.432
>> yeah. >> let's understand
00:06:13.498 --> 00:06:14.966
>> let's understand a real minority.
00:06:15.033 --> 00:06:16.501
A real minority. the jewish population at that
00:06:16.568 --> 00:06:18.837
The jewish population at that time and today is one quarter
00:06:18.904 --> 00:06:21.873
Time and today is one quarter of 1% of the world population.
00:06:21.940 --> 00:06:24.910
Of 1% of the world population. we're a true minority and yet
00:06:24.976 --> 00:06:27.145
We're a true minority and yet we've survived and thrived.
00:06:27.212 --> 00:06:29.181
We've survived and thrived. >> yes.

It's not because of our intellectual superiority
00:06:34.252 --> 00:06:35.253
Intellectual superiority or business superiority,
00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:37.088
Or business superiority, it's because god declared,
00:06:37.155 --> 00:06:38.890
It's because god declared, "'i will preserve
00:06:38.957 --> 00:06:40.592

00:10:16.941 --> 00:10:17.475
>> yeah, it's so important. and without
00:10:17.542 --> 00:10:18.209
And without understanding hanukkah --
00:10:18.276 --> 00:10:19.744
Understanding hanukkah -- i mean, jesus says,
00:10:19.811 --> 00:10:20.578
I mean, jesus says, "i'm the light of the world,"
00:10:20.645 --> 00:10:21.446
"i'm the light of the world," and that makes sense,
00:10:21.513 --> 00:10:22.714
And that makes sense, but it makes more sense
00:10:22.781 --> 00:10:24.282
But it makes more sense if you look at the context
00:10:24.349 --> 00:10:26.284
If you look at the context of that declaration.
00:10:26.351 --> 00:10:27.819
Of that declaration. hanukkah is the feast of lights.
00:10:27.886 --> 00:10:29.988
Hanukkah is the feast of lights. why the feast of lights?
00:10:30.055 --> 00:10:31.556
Why the feast of lights? because the --
00:10:31.623 --> 00:10:32.257
Because the -- it's the rededication
00:10:32.323 --> 00:10:33.191
It's the rededication of the lampstand in
00:10:33.258 --> 00:10:35.026
Of the lampstand in the holy place.
00:10:35.093 --> 00:10:35.660
The holy place. >> yeah.
00:10:35.727 --> 00:10:36.661
>> yeah. >> and it burns for
00:10:36.728 --> 00:10:37.328
>> and it burns for eight days miraculously.
00:10:37.395 --> 00:10:38.530
Eight days miraculously. it's not mentioned in
00:10:38.596 --> 00:10:39.764
It's not mentioned in the old testament because it's,
00:10:39.831 --> 00:10:40.999
The old testament because it's, as i said earlier,
00:10:41.066 --> 00:10:43.068
As i said earlier, it's during
00:10:43.134 --> 00:10:43.601
It's during the intertestamental.
00:10:43.668 --> 00:10:45.336
The intertestamental. the old testament
00:10:45.403 --> 00:10:45.837
The old testament has been canonized,
00:10:45.904 --> 00:10:46.838
Has been canonized, the new testament
00:10:46.905 --> 00:10:47.739
The new testament has not yet happened,
00:10:47.806 --> 00:10:48.907
Has not yet happened, and the books are written
00:10:48.973 --> 00:10:50.408
And the books are written in greek at that time.
00:10:50.475 --> 00:10:51.710
In greek at that time. there is a assimilation
00:10:51.776 --> 00:10:53.144
There is a assimilation to some extent and it's so
00:10:53.211 --> 00:10:54.746
To some extent and it's so it wouldn't have been accepted
00:10:54.813 --> 00:10:56.948
It wouldn't have been accepted by the jewish people
00:10:57.015 --> 00:10:58.116
By the jewish people as divinely inspired books,
00:10:58.183 --> 00:11:00.218
As divinely inspired books, but it's a very important
00:11:00.285 --> 00:11:01.720
But it's a very important historical recounting for us
00:11:01.786 --> 00:11:05.490
Historical recounting for us of god delivering our people
00:11:05.557 --> 00:11:07.892
Of god delivering our people out of destruction.
00:11:07.959 --> 00:11:08.860
Out of destruction. >> yeah.
00:11:08.927 --> 00:11:09.961
>> yeah. >> and it's the festival
00:11:10.028 --> 00:11:12.063
>> and it's the festival of lights.
00:11:12.130 --> 00:11:13.465
Of lights. it's the festival
00:11:13.531 --> 00:11:13.998
It's the festival of the rededication
00:11:14.065 --> 00:11:15.066
Of the temple.
00:11:15.166 --> 00:11:16.601
Can see on the screen
00:11:16.668 --> 00:11:17.502
That it's during
00:11:17.569 --> 00:11:18.303
The feast of dedication,
00:11:18.369 --> 00:11:19.637
During these eight days,
00:11:19.704 --> 00:11:20.839
Jesus, yeshua walks into
00:11:20.905 --> 00:11:22.841
The temple on this festival
00:11:22.907 --> 00:11:24.676
Of lights and declares,
00:11:24.743 --> 00:11:26.978
"i am the light of the world."
00:11:27.045 --> 00:11:29.214
>> so powerful.
00:11:29.280 --> 00:11:30.014
>> so, that context
00:11:30.081 --> 00:11:30.882
Really makes --
00:11:30.982 --> 00:11:31.583
Really makes -- it's not the temple
00:11:31.649 --> 00:11:32.884
It's not the temple that's the light,
00:11:32.951 --> 00:11:34.018
That's the light, now he is the light
00:11:34.085 --> 00:11:34.919
Now he is the light of the world.
00:11:34.986 --> 00:11:35.620
Of the world. he's the messiah of israel,
00:11:35.687 --> 00:11:37.388
He's the messiah of israel, but he's also the savior
00:11:37.455 --> 00:11:38.556
But he's also the savior of the world.
00:11:38.623 --> 00:11:39.090
Of the world. >> it's so incredible.
00:11:39.157 --> 00:11:39.758
>> it's so incredible. when you think of the light
00:11:39.824 --> 00:11:40.759
When you think of the light of the world,
00:11:40.825 --> 00:11:41.693
Of the world, you think of the menorah,
00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:42.827
You think of the menorah, you think of how jewish people
00:11:42.894 --> 00:11:45.230
You think of how jewish people around the world
00:11:45.296 --> 00:11:46.431
Around the world celebrate hanukkah.
00:11:46.498 --> 00:11:47.799
Celebrate hanukkah. >> yeah.
00:11:47.866 --> 00:11:48.199
>> yeah. >> so --
00:11:48.266 --> 00:11:48.733
>> so -- >> and this is so important.
00:11:48.800 --> 00:11:49.634
>> and this is so important. this really is the crux of it
00:11:49.701 --> 00:11:51.302
This really is the crux of it and there's so much symbolism
00:11:51.369 --> 00:11:52.737
And there's so much symbolism in this, scott.
00:11:52.804 --> 00:11:53.338
In this, scott. >> yeah, it's --
00:11:53.404 --> 00:11:53.905
>> yeah, it's -- well, it's interesting
00:11:53.972 --> 00:11:54.839
Well, it's interesting because when you
00:11:54.906 --> 00:11:55.473
Because when you look at a hanukkah,
00:11:55.540 --> 00:11:57.408
Look at a hanukkah, you see that there's
00:11:57.475 --> 00:11:58.209
You see that there's eight candle holders
00:11:58.276 --> 00:12:00.812
Eight candle holders and then one in the middle.
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:02.046
And then one in the middle. when you look at a menorah,
00:12:02.113 --> 00:12:02.981
When you look at a menorah, how many in the menorah?
00:12:03.047 --> 00:12:04.082
How many in the menorah? >> seven.
00:12:04.149 --> 00:12:04.482
>> seven. >> there's seven.
00:12:04.549 --> 00:12:05.316
>> there's seven. >> so, the lampstand,
00:12:05.383 --> 00:12:06.584
>> so, the lampstand, the menorah in the temple
00:12:06.651 --> 00:12:07.752
The menorah in the temple is seven.
00:12:07.819 --> 00:12:08.286
Is seven. >> seven.
00:12:08.353 --> 00:12:08.686
>> seven. >> for the creation.
00:12:08.753 --> 00:12:09.587
>> for the creation. >> and then, you have hanukkah,
00:12:09.654 --> 00:12:10.789
>> and then, you have hanukkah, which is eight plus one.
00:12:10.855 --> 00:12:13.191
Which is eight plus one. why don't you talk about that in
00:12:13.258 --> 00:12:14.726
Why don't you talk about that in the way we celebrate hanukah?
00:12:14.793 --> 00:12:15.560
The way we celebrate hanukah? >> well, eight, the eight
00:12:15.627 --> 00:12:16.494
>> well, eight, the eight white candles here represent
00:12:16.561 --> 00:12:18.563
White candles here represent each day of hanukkah,
00:12:18.630 --> 00:12:19.597
Each day of hanukkah, the miracle of hanukkah.
00:12:19.664 --> 00:12:21.499
The miracle of hanukkah. we have a dreidel that you
00:12:21.566 --> 00:12:23.301
We have a dreidel that you spin as part of the game
00:12:23.368 --> 00:12:24.402
Spin as part of the game and it's "nes gadol haya sham,"
00:12:24.469 --> 00:12:26.137
And it's "nes gadol haya sham," a great miracle happened here.
00:12:26.204 --> 00:12:27.572
A great miracle happened here. >> yes.
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:28.106
>> yes. >> in the diaspora,
00:12:28.173 --> 00:12:29.040
>> in the diaspora, and the dispersion in america
00:12:29.107 --> 00:12:30.408
And the dispersion in america and other places we say
00:12:30.475 --> 00:12:31.843
And other places we say a great miracle
00:12:31.910 --> 00:12:32.377
A great miracle happened there in
00:12:32.443 --> 00:12:33.878
Happened there in jerusalem at the temple.
00:12:33.945 --> 00:12:35.680
Jerusalem at the temple. but the eight candles
00:12:35.747 --> 00:12:37.148
But the eight candles represent one day and we light
00:12:37.215 --> 00:12:39.484
Represent one day and we light an additional candle each day
00:12:39.551 --> 00:12:40.819
An additional candle each day through the eight days.
00:12:40.885 --> 00:12:41.519
Through the eight days. >> yeah.
00:12:41.586 --> 00:12:42.086
>> yeah. >> but we don't like the candle
00:12:42.153 --> 00:12:43.555
>> but we don't like the candle with a match or a lighter,
00:12:43.621 --> 00:12:45.456
With a match or a lighter, we light it with
00:12:45.523 --> 00:12:46.391
We light it with the middle candle
00:12:46.457 --> 00:12:47.692
The middle candle or the highest candle
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:49.060
Or the highest candle and that's the "shamash."
00:12:49.127 --> 00:12:51.296
And that's the "shamash." the shamash.
00:12:51.362 --> 00:12:51.896
The shamash. what does shamash mean?
00:12:51.963 --> 00:12:53.431
What does shamash mean? servant.
00:12:53.498 --> 00:12:54.666
Servant. it's the servant candle
00:12:54.732 --> 00:12:56.501
It's the servant candle that is used to light
00:12:56.568 --> 00:12:57.669
That is used to light the other candles.
00:12:57.735 --> 00:12:58.937
The other candles. now, the symbolism is obvious.
00:12:59.003 --> 00:13:00.638
Now, the symbolism is obvious. of course, yeshua is the light
00:13:00.705 --> 00:13:02.473
Of course, yeshua is the light of the world...
00:13:02.540 --> 00:13:03.541
Of the world... >> yeah.
00:13:03.608 --> 00:13:03.908
>> yeah. >> and he says,
00:13:03.975 --> 00:13:04.742
>> and he says, "i am calling you
00:13:04.809 --> 00:13:06.644
"i am calling you as my disciples,
00:13:06.711 --> 00:13:07.312
As my disciples, as my followers to be
00:13:07.378 --> 00:13:08.913
As my followers to be a light to the world,
00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:10.381
A light to the world, a light set on a hill."
00:13:10.448 --> 00:13:12.250
A light set on a hill." and so, it's yeshua,
00:13:12.317 --> 00:13:13.051
And so, it's yeshua, the light of the world,
00:13:13.117 --> 00:13:14.152
The light of the world, the shamash,
00:13:14.219 --> 00:13:15.253
The shamash, that's lighting the candles
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.689
That's lighting the candles each and every night.
00:13:17.755 --> 00:13:18.857
Each and every night. >> amazing.
00:13:18.923 --> 00:13:19.457
>> amazing. >> we're using the shamash.
00:13:19.524 --> 00:13:21.159
>> we're using the shamash. and that's why i recommend
00:13:21.226 --> 00:13:22.360
And that's why i recommend that everyone watching,
00:13:22.427 --> 00:13:23.862
That everyone watching, if you're a follower
00:13:23.928 --> 00:13:24.662
If you're a follower of jesus, yeshua, the messiah,
00:13:24.729 --> 00:13:27.465
Of jesus, yeshua, the messiah, you should get a hanukkah.
00:13:27.532 --> 00:13:28.800
You should get a hanukkah. >> yeah.
00:13:28.867 --> 00:13:29.467
>> yeah. >> and actually
00:13:29.534 --> 00:13:30.335
>> and actually celebrate hanukkah,
00:13:30.401 --> 00:13:32.136
Celebrate hanukkah, but not in the context
00:13:32.203 --> 00:13:33.571
But not in the context of the miracle of 134 b.c.,
00:13:33.638 --> 00:13:37.408
Of the miracle of 134 b.c., but the miracle
00:13:37.475 --> 00:13:38.543
But the miracle of the light of the world,
00:13:38.610 --> 00:13:39.611
Of the light of the world, and you're a follower of yeshua,
00:13:39.677 --> 00:13:41.279
And you're a follower of yeshua, and you're reminding yourself
00:13:41.346 --> 00:13:42.881
And you're reminding yourself with the lighting every night
00:13:42.947 --> 00:13:44.249
With the lighting every night through eight days.
00:13:44.315 --> 00:13:45.149
Through eight days. >> i love it.
00:13:45.216 --> 00:13:45.650
>> i love it. >> that you are the light
00:13:45.717 --> 00:13:47.018
>> that you are the light that yeshua has called
00:13:47.085 --> 00:13:48.052
That yeshua has called to illuminate the world
00:13:48.119 --> 00:13:49.921
To illuminate the world and to be a light in darkness.
00:13:49.988 --> 00:13:51.656
And to be a light in darkness. >> it's so interesting.
00:13:51.723 --> 00:13:52.156
>> it's so interesting. >> i love it.
00:13:52.223 --> 00:13:52.657
>> i love it. >> it's so interesting.
00:13:52.724 --> 00:13:53.157
>> it's so interesting. i love it too.
00:13:53.224 --> 00:13:53.658
I love it too. >> love it.
00:13:53.725 --> 00:13:54.192
>> love it. >> it's so interesting that this
00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:54.993
>> it's so interesting that this is called the servant candle,
00:13:55.059 --> 00:13:56.461
Is called the servant candle, and yeshua, the messiah
00:13:56.527 --> 00:13:57.328
And yeshua, the messiah came and said,
00:13:57.395 --> 00:13:58.730
Came and said, "i've not come to be served,
00:13:58.796 --> 00:14:01.399
"i've not come to be served, but to serve and give my life
00:14:01.466 --> 00:14:04.102
But to serve and give my life as a ransom for many."
00:14:04.168 --> 00:14:05.403
As a ransom for many." and it's so beautiful
00:14:05.470 --> 00:14:06.571
And it's so beautiful that this --
00:14:06.638 --> 00:14:07.138
That this -- >> and that middle candle,
00:14:07.205 --> 00:14:07.805
>> and that middle candle, that highest candle
00:14:07.872 --> 00:14:08.606
That highest candle represents jesus, yeshua.
00:14:08.673 --> 00:14:10.508
Represents jesus, yeshua. >> it's incredible.
00:14:10.575 --> 00:14:11.442
>> it's incredible. and i think that this is
00:14:11.509 --> 00:14:12.577
And i think that this is a perfect time and season
00:14:12.644 --> 00:14:14.679
A perfect time and season for jewish people all around
00:14:14.746 --> 00:14:16.147
For jewish people all around the world as they light
00:14:16.214 --> 00:14:16.948
The world as they light the candles to recognize
00:14:17.015 --> 00:14:19.183
The candles to recognize that the light of hanukkah
00:14:19.250 --> 00:14:20.551
That the light of hanukkah is really yeshua the messiah.
00:14:20.618 --> 00:14:23.521
Is really yeshua the messiah. this is an amazing season,
00:14:23.588 --> 00:14:25.223
