Transcript

Caption transcript for “Days of Remembrance: Hanukkah”

00:05 One again the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
00:08 proves He is the watchman.
00:10 When it looked like the light was going out forever
00:13 the Light of the world preserved his people
00:16 and re-dedicated the Holy Temple.
00:19 Celebrate Hanukkah , The Festival of Light
00:28 Shalom, Welcome to our program.
00:29 I'm Myles Weiss
00:30 and I'm Katharine Weiss.
00:31 And our program today is Hanukkah .
00:33 Hanukkah is not as substitute for Christmas
00:35 because Hanukkah came first.
00:37 That's right, I like to joke with my Pastor friends
00:39 that Hanukkah saved Christmas because
00:41 if God had not preserved the Jewish people
00:43 when the Temple was desecrated and He rededicated it
00:46 there would be no Christmas.
00:48 There wouldn't have been the birth of Yeshua
00:50 because the Jews would have been wiped out.
00:51 Salvation is of the Jews and Yeshua Jesus is
00:55 a Jewish Messiah and Savior of the world.
00:57 We love that Jesus Himself celebrated Hanukkah .
01:01 In John 10:22-23 we read,
01:04 [ Speaking Hebrew ]
01:13 I love how the Lord Himself is keeping these Feasts.
01:16 And we love bringing you these Feasts
01:18 because we know we're in the season of it.
01:20 The Jewish people are aware of it
01:22 so we want you the Church to be aware of it too.
01:24 So lets go now and hear more from Myles on location in Israel.
01:31 We're coming to you from an area that looks somewhat like
01:34 the places where the Maccabees would rest in-between battle,
01:38 to speak to you about Hanukkah .
01:39 And I'm dressed in a Maccabean costume which
01:42 your not used to seeing me like this.
01:45 But we're pretty excited right now because recently,
01:47 right near this area in the town of Modi'in outside of Jerusalem
01:51 we discovered a verification of the story of the Maccabees.
01:56 Who were the Maccabees?
01:58 Judah Maccabee, "The Hammer", the son of Mattathias,
02:01 stood up against the entrenchment, the encroachment of
02:05 the Selucid Empire that was trying to obliterate Israel
02:10 by a creeping in with a watering down and an assimilation
02:15 that became so toxic that it led to the desecration of the Temple.
02:19 And so, Hanukkah is the story of the Maccabees rising up
02:23 in order to take back the Temple, which had to be cleansed.
02:28 Now at this time, which is almost
02:30 200 years before the time of Yeshua ,
02:33 There was once again a decline in the Greek Empire.
02:36 It was after Alexander the Great.
02:39 The Romans were getting ready to take over.
02:42 There was this difficulty between the nations surrounding,
02:45 and always, Judah, Israel caught in the middle,
02:48 and always a threat against the people of God
02:51 and against the ways of God.
02:53 Just as we see today there's always an attack
02:56 against the veracity of the Word of God,
02:58 the truth of the Jewish history of the Land,
03:01 and for you as a believer
03:04 in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
03:06 there is an attack that is growing
03:08 against your faith in Yeshua
03:10 and your belief in standing with Israel.
03:13 Things don't change.
03:14 There's nothing new under the sun.
03:16 These same battles are going on today
03:18 that were going on back at the time
03:21 of this era that I'm demonstrating today.
03:24 Now the " Hanukiah ", the 8 candle stick
03:27 with the " Shamash ", the 9th candle is
03:31 different from the candelabra from a Menorah that was in the Temple.
03:35 This represents the time of the desecration
03:39 and then the re-dedication of the oil of God,
03:42 the sacred oil that allowed the Jewish people to keep the Temple going.
03:47 Yeshua Himself, in those passages in John Chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10,
03:52 He was in the Temple teaching and it is during
03:54 that season that He said, [ Speaking Hebrew ]
04:02 Yeshua was there demonstrating for all who cared
04:05 to see that He was in fact, Mashiach ,
04:08 He is the Messiah.
04:10 But the battle over His Word,
04:13 the battle over the Land of Israel,
04:15 the battle over the dedication of
04:17 those people of faith to our God continues.
04:21 And it continues today.
04:22 It's really a story.
04:23 God's story is a story of the triumph
04:25 of faith over speculative reason.
04:30 You know the best that man can do,
04:32 the best that man can think,
04:34 it always falls short.
04:36 Because humanism always falls short of the wisdom of God.
04:40 I like to say that the headlines are catching up to the Bible.
04:43 The Bible, which is mocked,
04:45 which is thought of as an ancient book,
04:47 continually turns out to be true because it
04:50 is a prophetic book that came from heaven into time.
04:54 And this story, the story of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Temple
04:58 is a story once again that God will preserve His line of Israel so
05:03 that Messiah can come and preserve the Jewish people because it's His desire
05:08 that we will be here to welcome Yeshua when He comes.
05:12 The main character in this story
05:15 of the desecration of the Temple
05:18 was Antiochus Epiphanes, the Magnificent.
05:21 Well, behind his back the
05:23 Jewish people called him
05:24 "Epifanes" which means "the madman",
05:26 and he really was a madman.
05:28 He desecrated the Temple by offering sacrifices to Zeus
05:31 and by offering unclean animals, pigs on the altar.
05:35 And so the Temple was in such disarray
05:37 that not only was it a miracle
05:39 that the Jewish people fought against this giant army and won,
05:43 but also that the Temple could be rededicated and
05:47 they could find enough sacred oil that would last
05:50 to be able to rededicate the Temple.
05:52 And I believe there's a message in that for us
05:54 as those of you who are grafted in to the commonwealth of Israel.
05:58 You need to stand in the Light of God and remember
06:03 the Scripture tells us [ Speaking Hebrew ]
06:07 "God is my Light and my salvation."
06:09 "Of whom shall I be afraid?"

06:49 I'm here re-enacting for you something of
06:52 what the Maccabee life might have been like
06:55 when they were withstanding the Seleucid Empire.
06:59 Imagine a small group of Maccabees,
07:02 a Jewish, priestly line of fighters
07:06 standing up against an entire dynasty.
07:09 And yet God, because of who He is,
07:12 preserved the Jewish line.
07:13 What's the importance?
07:15 Why does it matter?
07:16 Because without the preservation of the history
07:20 and the reality of the Jewish people
07:22 you would have no Jesus, I would have no Mashiach .
07:26 The fact is God is faithful to His Word,
07:29 He preserved the line of the Jewish people to bring us Messiah.
07:34 And what did Jesus say about Himself,
07:37 speaking of Hanukkah , speaking of Light,
07:38 speaking of increasing Light.
07:40 Remember that during Hanukkah we start with one candle
07:44 and the Shamash , the Servant Candle.
07:46 And over the course of the 8 days there's increasing light.
07:50 And isn't that the way the Kingdom of God is?
07:53 It should be and is an ever increasing Kingdom,
07:56 an ever increasing light.
07:58 Yeshua Himself said [ Speaking Hebrew ]
08:07 I remember when I was wrestling with the reality of Yeshua .
08:11 You know I'm a Jewish person.
08:13 How can I believe in this Catholic, Christian,
08:15 Protestant Person - God - whatever He is?
08:19 That wrestling match thankfully I lost
08:21 as He told me over and over again thru the Scriptures
08:25 that He is the Light of the world.
08:28 And that as I would allow myself to be touched by Him,
08:30 I could participate with Him in being light in this world.
08:34 And we're in a season now where the light needs to
08:37 increase as the darkness around us is increasing.
08:40 This story of Hanukkah is the story of the miracle
08:43 of the preservation of the Jewish people,
08:46 but the miracle of rededication.
08:49 One of the games that came up later in history is the Dradle game,
08:53 this playing of a little, seemingly children's game
08:56 but preserves the Hebrew language to a degree.
08:59 And the letters on the little top that's used in that game
09:03 spell out an acronym for
09:05 Nes - Gadol
09:07 Haya - Sham,
09:08 "A great miracle happened there."
09:10 Of course, if we play it here in Israel we say, " Nes gadol haya po "
09:14 "A great miracle happened here."
09:17 And what's the miracle?
09:18 Is it that the oil lasted for 8 days?
09:20 The miracle is that God is able
09:23 to take that was desecrated and rededicate it.
09:26 That's what He did in my life.
09:28 That's what He is doing in my life.
09:30 That's what He wants to do with you.
09:31 That's what He wants to do in your life.
09:33 He wants you to be able to rededicate
09:35 not because of your righteousness,
09:37 not because of what you can do,
09:39 not because of your greatness in any way,
09:41 but because of who He is,
09:43 because of His righteousness,
09:45 His goodness,
09:47 His miracle keeping power,
09:50 His covenant keeping power.
09:52 He wants to dedicate you to Himself
09:55 and then constantly re-dedicate you to Him.
09:59 You know I think about Israel.
10:01 Israel in a sense is like the Shamash candle.
10:05 It's this servant to the world.
10:08 Through Israel we have the Torah,
10:10 we have the Word of God,
10:12 we have the Patriarchs,
10:13 and the stories that come from the Patriarchs
10:15 that inform everything that followed.
10:18 It's what the disciples learned from.
10:20 We have the Prophets.
10:22 We have the Messiah Himself coming through the Jewish people.
10:26 And even today, as we see the role of Israel in the world
10:30 as every nation is turning against Israel
10:33 yet Israel and the Jewish people continue to provide light,
10:36 continue to provide scientific breakthru, medical breakthru,
10:40 every kind of innovation and technological help for this world,
10:45 serving to increase the light in the world,
10:48 serving the rest of the world.
10:50 How tragic that the world continues to not see who Israel is.
10:55 But the day is coming when all Israel will say about Messiah,
11:01 Baruch Haba B'shem Adonai,
11:03 and the world will say this one is true,
11:07 this is the one that he said he was.
11:10 That day is coming soon.
11:12 So that's why we always ask you to
11:14 remember to stand with us,
11:15 stand with this ministry,
11:17 stand with ministries in Israel that are preaching the Gospel,
11:19 stand with the Jewish people,
11:21 and with the goodness of God coming to you and to your life
11:25 through this small group of people,
11:27 .02 percent of the population of the world
11:30 thru whom God has brought miracle after miracle after miracle.
11:35 That's part of the Hanukkah story.
11:46 Our offer on this program,
11:48 Zola Levitt's most requested teaching,
11:50 "The Seven Feasts of Israel"
11:52 The book and the DVD.
11:55 A complete explanation of the Holy Days
11:57 God gave Moses on Mt. Sinai
12:00 and how each was fulfilled by our Lord in...
12:12 These celebrations comprise
12:14 one of the most fascinating studies
12:15 of the biblical types and shadows.
12:17 Ask for the book or the DVD,
12:20 "The Seven Feasts of Israel"
12:24 Myles, you're looking great
12:25 Thank you.
12:26 in your Maccabean outfit.
12:27 Thank you, I'm getting in the spirit.
12:29 We are, we're getting in the Spirit.
12:30 We're here in the area
12:32 where some of the archaeological finds are
12:35 for this period of time.
12:37 But not only that.
12:38 Some people get the Hanukkah menorah
12:41 confused with the menorah itself,
12:43 the Hanukiah .
12:45 Tell us a little bit about that Myles
12:47 Well, there is actually 9 candles if you include
12:50 the " Shamash " or the "Servant" candle
12:52 that are used for the Hanukiah for this holiday.
12:55 And it's in contrast with the 7 candelabra Menorah that is in the Temple.
13:00 That's the one that Moses during his 40 days up on the mountain
13:04 got the pattern for the Tabernacle in the wilderness
13:07 including the Menorah which then appears
13:10 not only in the Tabernacle but again in the Temple
13:12 and is really become the symbol of Israel hasn't it?
13:15 Of Israel, but it's also a symbol of Jesus - Yeshua .
13:19 You know He is the Light of the World
13:21 and He celebrated the Feast of Dedication
13:23 when He came on this earth
13:25 because He fulfilled everything.
13:27 You know Moses saw the pattern for people to meet with the Lord.
13:31 And part of that pattern was the Menorah , the 7 candlesticks.
13:35 It was hammered with gold.
13:37 It was hammered to represent the Deity of our Lord.
13:40 And it was gold, that pure gold.
13:43 And it was to be one piece, it was to be pure.
13:46 And it had every detail because the Lord Himself
13:49 is so specific in pointing to Himself
13:52 as the fulfillment of each and every
13:55 article that is in that Tabernacle.
13:57 So when we think of Hanukkah ,
13:59 it's the celebration of God preserving
14:02 the people in the time of the Maccabees,
14:05 in the time when the rulers of that time
14:08 wanted to get them to walk in mixture,
14:11 wanted them to be part of this world's system.
14:14 And thank God for the Maccabees.
14:16 And I'm glad you're dressed as one because
14:19 they stood up and they took the Word to heart
14:21 and they said, no, we will not stand for the mixture,
14:24 we will let the Lord be our Defender.
14:26 And not only the Lord will be our Defender
14:28 but we will defend Israel,
14:30 we will defend the Word and
14:32 we will not be part of the mixture.
14:34 Yes, and there's always a spiritual battle
14:36 over Israel and over the Jewish people,
14:39 and over you as a person of faith whose been grafted in
14:42 to the commonwealth of Israel according to Ephesians Chapter 2.
14:46 That spiritual warfare continues today.
14:48 There's the physical battle as armies
14:51 are arrayed against Israel today
14:53 just as they were in the time of the Maccabees.
14:55 There's always a threat for Israel to just go away.
14:58 Just go back to Europe and the nations where you came from.
15:01 But this is where we came from.
15:03 This is our homeland given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
15:06 You are grafted in to that.
15:08 That is why it is so important
15:10 that you continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
15:13 That you pray for the Jewish people to fulfill our destiny
15:16 to come into all that God has for us.
15:19 And that warfare continues.
15:20 The warfare for the Maccabees was against
15:22 the mixture of the day as Katharine said,
15:24 against being "Hellenized",
15:26 being turned into some kind of Greco-Roman version of Judaism.
15:30 And the Maccabees stood up and said, no, we will not do this.
15:34 But the necessary part was for them
15:38 to re-dedicate the Temple.
15:40 Now it's interesting that the whole idea of the 8 days
15:43 and the miracle of the 8 days of the oil.
15:45 That actually doesn't come into play
15:47 until 500 years after the time of the Maccabees.
15:50 It's a more recent and cultural addition to the miracle story.
15:55 What's the real miracle here?
15:57 The miracle is that they could find enough oil,
16:00 to find pure enough oil to re-dedicate the Temple.
16:03 An even greater miracle is that, once again,
16:07 Shomer Yisrael , the Protector, the Guardian,
16:10 God Himself watched over the Jewish people,
16:13 kept the people of Israel,
16:15 re-dedicated the Temple,
16:17 and brought us into the next phase of our history.
16:19 It could not have happened without a miracle.
16:21 I love what the 1st Prime Minister
16:24 David Ben Gurion said about Israel.
16:30 I think it's very normal here to believe in miracles.
16:34 This is a Land of miracles.
16:36 And Hanukkah represents one of those primary ones.
16:40 Because once again God preserves the Jewish people and
16:44 preserves the lineage that will lead to the coming of Messiah.
16:49 And He Himself is the Light of the World.
16:52 And he calls us to be that light.
16:54 You know it says in Proverbs 4:18,
17:02 And God is calling us as His righteous vessels here on earth
17:06 because He Himself has given us His righteousness
17:08 to shine that light and to walk in that light
17:11 and He will bring us into that perfect day.
17:15 So I encourage you to do what God has asked you to do
17:18 and to shine in this time like never before.
17:33 Hi, you know so much is happening

18:43 Israel is a Land of Covenant promises
18:46 that God has made to His people.
18:48 Its His Land.
18:49 The first time I went to Israel
18:51 and we landed,
18:53 I felt this amazing peace.
18:55 You know, often when people are
18:57 making plans to go to Israel
18:58 it seems like there's conflict.
19:00 But you will be surprised
19:01 how safe you feel
19:03 and how much peace you feel
19:05 and how much you feel at home in this Land
19:07 because it is your shared destiny.
19:09 You know, the Lord's going to reign there
19:11 and it's given to us to go up
19:13 and be with Him in this Land
19:15 even in the time to come.
19:17 That's great.
19:18 You know, one way to stay in touch with us
19:20 is to receive the Levitt Letter.
19:21 It's free to you.
19:22 We'd be glad to send it to you every month.
19:24 Katharine writes an article,
19:25 I write an article
19:27 and it really sifts thru a lot of the news from Israel
19:29 so you can find the hope, the joy,
19:31 the breakthroughs that are coming in the Land.
19:33 And it'll also encourage you to
19:34 connect with us to join us in Israel.
19:37 So we'd love to send you the Levitt Letter as well.
19:39 You know Myles, I have learned so much from you,
19:41 as being a Gentile,
19:43 grafted in to the commonwealth of Israel.
19:46 Thank you for getting it in the right order.
19:47 [laugh]...about Hanukkah ,
19:50 about the Feasts,
19:51 they are really for us to keep as believers,
19:54 that we learn more about our Messiah,
19:57 more about the roots that we have in Him.
20:00 And it's not a Jewish thing,
20:01 these are the Feasts of the Lord.
20:03 And this is an extra Biblical Feast, Hanukkah .
20:06 It talks about like you said,
20:08 it was not the Levitical 23.
20:11 But it is a commemoration
20:13 of God's victory over oppressors.
20:17 Yeah, Christians are not compelled to keep these holidays
20:20 but gosh, they can learn so much from them
20:22 and will draw closer to the Lord.
20:24 The whole issue of oil and the beauty of dedication,
20:28 and the oil in the Temple
20:30 is really the theme of this,
20:33 that there's something that God wants to do with us
20:34 and the oil of the Spirit
20:36 and washing us and re-dedicating ourselves to the Lord.
20:39 We had a great interview with Zohar, our friend in Israel.
20:42 He has this magnificent collection of historical menorahs
20:46 that we really want to show you.
20:48 So let's go to my interview with Zohar in Israel.
20:53 Zohar, thank you for inviting us into your home
20:56 to see this miraculous collection
20:58 of Menoroth , Hanukioth.
21:00 This one you're holding tells the story of
21:03 the original Hanukkah, doesn't it?
21:04 Exactly Myles.
21:06 It's my pleasure to host you here.
21:08 If you look on this Menorah
21:10 you see exactly the illustration
21:13 which was written in the book of the Macaabeans,
21:16 namely Judah coming, cleaning the Temple,
21:19 giving orders and renewing the altar work.
21:23 So this one doesn't even look like a
21:26 traditional candelabra or Hanukiah.
21:29 But you tell me its from Syria
21:30 and it was designed in such a way as to
21:32 hide the fact that these were Jewish people.
21:34 Exactly, if I am raising it,
21:37 it looks like a regular menorah to light your way.
21:40 So it was telling to the one who was present,
21:43 What do you want from me, I'm just lighting my...
21:46 And it's a hidden sort of a menorah .
21:47 Brilliant!
21:49 And this is one of the oldest ones,
21:50 a replica but one of the oldest.
21:51 A replica.
21:53 It probably was made in Russia
21:54 upon the 10th century.
21:56 You see it's triangular
21:57 which is easy to put it on the wall already.
22:01 Therefore there is the hole.
22:03 And you see it's small because the Jews were oppressed.
22:05 They had to run away for their life
22:08 so they made it small, not a big one.
22:09 Now this collection comes from all over the world.
22:11 All over the world.
22:13 For example, this was made in Morocco.
22:15 And it has that look,
22:16 a Spanish sort of an African look.
22:18 If you speak about the look
22:20 you see here...
22:21 that's the ancient clay made form that the
22:25 light would come out of it.
22:27 And here you see another one. Another older.
22:32 This tells the story of Yitzhak and Rifkah.
22:34 Made by Battalia,
22:37 the school of the artisans
22:39 at the beginning of the 20th century.
22:41 So they wanted to make sort of Biblical motifs.
22:44 By the way if it is written "Battalia"
22:47 you know its the original.
22:49 If not, it's not.
22:50 And this one, this incredible craftsmanship
22:53 was done by a holocaust survivor I think you said.
22:55 This is unbelievable,
22:57 I would say even chilling.
22:58 I know about him,
23:00 he was called the German,
23:01 once in awhile coming and selling to some workshops.
23:04 He has candelabras or menorahs ,
23:08 taking the money, very few and going away.
23:11 He never spoke, he never said a word.
23:13 But look how good he made it!
23:15 You can see the columns of the Temple, the lions.
23:18 Everything of the story is here.
23:21 A proud Jew, was very proud.
23:24 Yes, and silent about whatever happened in Germany.
23:27 He never spoke.
23:28 Merchants knew him only as the German.
23:31 And the patterns repeat themselves.
23:34 There's the lions of Judah protecting the candelabra.
23:38 It's amazing to me that this story is
23:41 preserved in all the nations of the world.
23:43 And we see that throughout these different ones don't we?
23:45 Exactly, what you said is completely right.
23:48 And coming again to the German pattern
23:51 you see the columns here,
23:53 you see the lions, the two lions,
23:55 the menorah .
23:57 because it's called in Hebrew
23:58 [ Speaking Hebrew ]
24:01 It's really taken care for the menorah .
24:03 I mean cleaning it.
24:04 And here you see the " Keturah ",
24:07 "The Holiness" on top of it.
24:09 So those stories here
24:11 made in a sort of metal work.
24:13 I was surprised to find out that
24:15 what we say, " Hanukiah " is a brand new word.
24:18 It comes from the restoration of the Hebrew language
24:20 100 years ago or so.
24:22 It wasn't even the original name for these.
24:25 That's totally news to me.
24:27 There was a very famous name in Israel,
24:31 Eliazer BenHuda, he re-invented Hebrew.
24:34 And his wife Devora helped him a lot.
24:37 And she invented the Hanukiah
24:39 because you know in America
24:40 or whatever it's called " menorah ".
24:43 But only in Israel its called " hanukiah ",
24:45 Ah, I did not know that.
24:46 sometimes "candelabra".
24:48 Yes, so we have essentially in your collection
24:53 you have the history of Israel,
24:54 the history of the Jewish people.
24:56 But if you notice I don't have nothing from the Holocaust
24:59 because it was a very dark period for Jews.
25:02 And one question one has to ask himself.
25:05 Where are the million menorahs
25:08 that were robbed from our people?
25:10 You don't find them
25:12 because the Nazis were just criminals,
25:15 they took them.
25:17 So they're still gone?
25:18 There were...
25:19 After this the industry renewed
25:23 and it finally lived more or less until 2004.
25:30 And then the Chinese came, you know.
25:33 But still there were a lot artisans
25:35 in Israel and abroad also that
25:37 are doing quite nice in menorahs .
25:40 So when we say the Chinese came
25:42 meaning there was a less expensive
25:44 commercial version that started to appear
25:46 and it hurt the market for true artisans here in the country.
25:49 Well thank you very much.
25:51 I am very impressed with this
25:53 and I know our viewers will be
25:55 thrilled to see what you have collected here.
25:57 And you know, I'm finishing by telling you
25:59 the desire to come back to Zion
26:01 is expressed in this menorah
26:04 wherever Jews were living around the world for 2,000 years.
26:07 Isn't this something?
26:08 Amazing
26:09 Thank you.
26:10 Thank you.
26:17 You know, there's nothing like
26:19 bringing you these programs from Israel
26:21 where you get to taste a character like Zohar
26:25 who has collected these menorahs
26:27 from around the world.
26:29 Yeah, you know it's interesting that
26:30 Zohar is doing this in the Land.
26:32 This could not have happened before
26:34 God made good on His prophecy
26:36 that He would gather us out of all the nations.
26:39 The first gathering was from Babylon.
26:41 The next gathering was from all the nations
26:43 and so that's where we are now in time.
26:45 And just like the people have been
26:47 brought back to the Land
26:49 so these obvious menorahs that are a pictured treasure,
26:54 a picture of the history of Israel,
26:57 the Jewish history with God is all being
26:59 gathered back into Israel
27:02 and being sent out as light,
27:04 hopefully thru this program as well.
27:05 Being sent out to show that God is
27:08 going to fulfill His Word.
27:09 Amen, amen.
27:11 He's a covenant keeping God.
27:13 Well we always like to close our program
27:15 by reminding you of Psalm 122:6
27:18 that says, Sha'a'lu Shalom Yerushalayim
27:21 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
