May it be your will, YAHUVEH, my Creator and My Abba in the name of YAHUSHUA, that this be a favorable time before YOU for the observance of the Chanukah lamp lighting, as a remembrance of the brightest light that YOU sent into this world, YOUR only begotten Son our YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH. And a reminder how HE was conceived around Hanukkah (and born nine months later around Succot, the Feast of Tabernacles). This is another reason we celebrate the festival of lights. Oil lights go out after eight days. YAHUSHUA, the brightest light sent to this earth, the true living oil, will last for ETERNITY. We celebrate the miracle of both lights. YAHUSHUA is the LIVING MENORAH! An ETERNAL LIGHT that will NEVER go out! Thank you YAHUSHUA for giving this revelation to Elisabeth November 23rd, 2005. 'For it is You YAHUVEH who will light my lamp, in the the name of YAHUSHUA, who will illuminate my darkness.' By virtue of the Chanukah lights, make us wise through the living guiding light, YAHUSHUA, your living Torah. May this verse be fulfilled, as it is written: '"It shall not depart from your mouth, from the mouth of your children and from the mouth of your children's children", says YAHUVEH, "from now to eternity".' May my children and grandchildren be obedient to the Torah and devout people, and may You strengthen our resolve in obedience to the Torah and obedience to you, all according to Your good desire. May I deserve to see children and grandchildren engaging in the Torah and commandments with sincerity. Uncover our eyes that we may perceive the wonders of Your holy Torah to define the truth of the Torah and its mysteries. Purify our hearts for Your service, distance us from evil and sinful thoughts, may our eyes see the return of your beloved Son YAHUSHUA who will come and reign in Jerusalem as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Ba-rucha-tah Adonai E-lo-hei-nu, Mel-ech ha-olam, Blessed are you O YAHUVEH our God, king of the universe, Asher kideshanu be-mitzvotav, Who has sanctified us by his Word, ve-tzivanu le-hadlik ner shel Chanukah. and instructed us to kindle the Chanukah lights. Al Ha-Nissim (Recited all eight nights) Ha-ne-roth hal-la-lu, a-nach-nu mad-li-kin al ha-nis-sim, We kindle these lights on account of the miracles, val hat-shu-oth val ha-nif-la-oth she-o-see-ta la-avo-tei-nu, the deliverances and the wonders which You worked for our ancestral fathers, al yde ko-ha-ne-cho, hak-kdo-shim.

During all the eight days of chanu-kah, han-ne-roth hal-lo-lu ko-desh; vain lo-nu rshuth Chanukah these lights are sacred, neither is it permitted us to make any profane use of them lhish-ta-mesh bo-hem el-lo lir-o-tom bil-vad.

Ba-ruch a-tah Adonai E-lo-hei-nu, Mel-ech ha-olam, Blessed are you, O YAHUVEH, our God, king of the universe, she-a-sa si-sim la-a-avo-tei-nu ba-ya-mim ha-hem ba-ze-man ha-zeh Who performed wondrous deeds for our fathers in days of old at this season. On the first night only: Shehekiyanu Ba-ruch a-tah Adonai E-lo-hei-nu, Mel-ech ha-olam, Blessed are you O YAHUVEH our God, king of the universe, she-he-che-ya-nu ve-ki-ye-ma-nu ve-hi-gi-a-nu la-ze-man ha-zeh for giving us life, for sustaining us, and for enabling us to reach this season. Light the first candle. Say the blessing above while kindling subsequent candles. Below is a reminder of all of the ways YAHUVEH delivered our Jewish ancestors as written in the Holy Scriptures. O mighty stronghold of my salvation, YAHUSHUA, to praise You is a delight. Restore my House of Prayer and there we will bring a thanksgiving offering. When You will have prepared the slaughter for the blaspheming foe, Then I shall complete with a song of hymn the dedication of the altar. II. My soul had been sated with troubles, my strength has been consumed with grief. They had embittered my life with hardship, with the calf-like kingdom's bondage. But with His great power He brought forth the treasured ones, Pharaoh's army and all his offspring went down like a stone into the deep. III. To the holy abode of His Word He brought me. But there, too, I had no rest And an oppressor came and exiled me. For I had served Aliens, And had drunk benumbing wine. Scarcely had I departed At Babylon's end Zerubabel came. At the end of seventy years I was saved. IV. To sever the towering cypress sought the Aggagite, son of Hammedatha, But it became [a snare and] a stumbling block to him and his arrogance was stilled. The head of the Benjaminite You lifted and the enemy, his name You obliterated His numerous progeny - his possessions - on the gallows You Hanged. V. Greeks gathered against me then in Hasmonean days. They breached the walls of my towers and they defiled all the oils; And from the one remnant of the flasks a miracle was wrought for the roses. Men of insight - eight days established for song and jubilation. VI. Bare Your holy arm, YAHUVEH, and hasten the End for salvation - Avenge the vengeance of Your servants' blood from the wicked nation. For the triumph is too long delayed for us, and there is no end to days of evil, Repel the evil one in the nethermost shadow and establish for us the seven shepherds. May the favor of YAHUVEH, in the name of YAHUSHUA, rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us--yes, establish the work of our hands for Your Glory. Psalm 91:1-16 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of YAHUVEH, "You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely You will save me from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. You will cover me with your feathers, and under Your wings I will find refuge; Your faithfulness will be my shield and rampart. I will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, Nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, but it will not come near me. I will only observe with my eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If I make the Most High my dwelling--even YAHUVEH, who is my refuge-- Then no harm will befall me, no disaster will come near my tent. For YAHUVEH will command his angels concerning me to guard me in all your ways; They will lift me up in their hands, so that I will not strike my foot against a stone. I will tread upon the lion and the cobra; I will trample the great lion and the serpent. "Because You love me," says YAHUVEH, "I will rescue you; I will protect you, for you acknowledge my name. You will call upon me, and I will answer you; I will be with you in trouble, I will deliver you and honor you. With long life will I satisfy you and show you my salvation." Psalm 67:1-8 {For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.} May YAHUVEH be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, <Selah> That your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, O YAHUVEH; may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth. <Selah> May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you. Then the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God, will bless us. YAHUVEH will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him. We beg You! With the strength of Your right hand's greatness, untie the bundled sins. Accept the prayer of Your nation; strengthen us, purify us, O Awesome YAHUVEH. Please O Aweson YAHUVEH - those who foster Your Oneness, guard them like the apple of an eye. Bless them, purify them, show them pity, may Your righteousness always recompense them. Powerful YAHUVEH, with Your abundant goodness guide Your congregation. In the name of YAHUSHUA, turn to Your nation, which proclaims Your holiness. Accept our prayer and hear our cry, O Knower of all mysteries.. Blessed be the Name of YAHUVEH'S glorious Kingdom forever and ever. Psalm 30:1-13 {A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David.} I will exalt you, O YAHUVEH, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. O YAHUVEH my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. O YAHUVEH, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit. Sing to YAHUVEH, you saints of his; praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken." O YAHUVEH, when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. To you, O YAHUVEH, I called; to YAHUVEH I cried for mercy: "What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? Hear, O YAHUVEH, and be merciful to me; O YAHUVEH, be my help." You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, That my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O YAHUVEH my God, I will give you thanks forever. Psalm 133:1-3 {A song of ascents. Of David.} How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there YAHUVEH bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. Psalm 33:1-22 Sing joyfully to YAHUVEH, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise YAHUVEH with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of YAHUVEH is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. YAHUVEH loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. By the word of God were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear YAHUVEH; let all the people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. YAHUVEH foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of YAHUVEH stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose YAHUVEH is God, the people he chose for his inheritance. From heaven YAHUVEH looks down and sees all mankind; From his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth-- He who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do. No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of YAHUVEH are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, To deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. We wait in hope for YAHUVEH; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O YAHUVEH, even as we put our hope in you
When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle, he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings. He also anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils. Then the leaders of Israel, the heads of families who were the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted, made offerings. They brought as their gifts before YAHUVEH six covered carts and twelve oxen--an ox from each leader and a cart from every two. These they presented before the tabernacle. YAHUVEH said to Moses, "Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the Tent of Meeting. Give them to the Levites as each man's work requires." So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites, as their work required, And he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites, as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest. But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites, because they were to carry on their shoulders the holy things, for which they were responsible. When the altar was anointed, the leaders brought their offerings for its dedication and presented them before the altar. For YAHUVEH had said to Moses, "Each day one leader is to bring his offering for the dedication of the altar." The one who brought his offering on the first day was Nahshon son of Amminadab of the tribe of Judah. His offering was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering; One gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense; One young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering; One male goat for a sin offering; And two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old, to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering. This was the offering of Nahshon son of Amminadab. Genesis 1:2-5 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day. Genesis 1:14-18 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, And let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, To govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. John 1:1-13 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-- Children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
On the second day Nethanel son of Zuar, the leader of Issachar, brought his offering. The offering he brought was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering; One gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense; One young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering; One male goat for a sin offering; And two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old, to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering. This was the offering of Nethanel son of Zuar Isaiah 5:20-24 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, Who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of YAHUVEH Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel. Matthew 6:22-23 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
On the third day, Eliab son of Helon, the leader of the people of Zebulun, brought his offering. His offering was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering; One gold dish weighing ten shekels, filled with incense; One young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old, for a burnt offering; One male goat for a sin offering; And two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old, to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering. This was the offering of Eliab son of Helon. Psalm 115:5-7 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see; They have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell; They have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats. Job 24:13 "There are those who rebel against the light, who do not know its ways or stay in its paths. Job 24:17 For all of them, deep darkness is their morning; they make friends with the terrors of darkness. Job 18:5-6 The lamp of the wicked is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning. The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out. Job 12:25 They grope in darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards. Jeremiah 25:10 I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp. Ezekiel 32:8 All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you; I will bring darkness over your land, declares the Sovereign YAHUVEH. Isaiah 42:18 "Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see! Mark 8:14-21 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. "Be careful," Jesus warned them. "Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod." They discussed this with one another and said, "It is because we have no bread." Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: "Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?" "Twelve," they replied. "And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?" They answered, "Seven." He said to them, "Do you still not understand?" |
