Menorah For The Fifth Day of Hanukkah!
Begin by clicking on the a day number of Hanukkah you wish to light a candle for. The candle on the center has already been lit,
it represents YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH, The Light of the World!
Fifth Night
Hag Sameach and Happy Hanukkah! Before you begin reading the blessings, I
would like to give a brief explanation on why we are doing things different than
other ministries. You will notice that we say all three blessings throughout the
entire 8 days of Hanukkah. YAHUSHUA ha MASHIACH convicted me in prayer as to why
we would only say the 3rd blessing only on the 1st day of Hanukkah, and not
throughout the entire 8 days. So therefore, we are saying all 3 blessings
throughout all 8 days as we remember YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH was conceived on the
1st day of Hanukkah and born on the 1st day of Sukkot and of course the miracle
of the oil that lasted 8 days.
You can hear and read the 3 blessings in Hebrew and in English by
clicking on my picture on the bottom left hand corner. The blessings are also
written down below in Hebrew and English so you can read and sing along.
YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH bless your Hanukkah and expect miracles from YAHUSHUA HA
MASHIACH. Hag Sameach! In YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACHS love, Apostle Prophet and Pastor
Elisheva Eliyahu.
Prayers to be said during the time when the Menorah is lit
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 Sukkot, 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 me (Elisheva Eliyahu) on
November 23rd, 2005. 'For it is You YAHUVEH who will light my lamp, in the the
name of YAHUSHUA, who will illuminate my darkness.'
Dispatch YOUR light and truth, for we only seek YOUR truth through the RUACH HA
KODESH (HOLY SPIRIT), that shall guide me to fear and love of Your Sacred Names,
to study and keep and teach YOUR Holy Torah, the Written Torah, and the Oral
Torah who came as the Word who is made flesh, your only begotten Son, YAHUSHUA
HA MASHIACH. With great diligence to give honor to YOUR blessed, exalted Name of
YAHUVEH and YOUR Son, YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH.
By virtue of the Chanukah lights, make us wise through the living guiding light,
YAHUSHUA, the 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 HOLY TRINITY ABBA YAHUVEH
YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH and the RUACH HA KODESH, YOUR Holy Word the Bible, 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 Word the Bible 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, in YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH’S NAME.
Candle Blessings Recited All 8 Nights
First Blessing After Lighting Just the Shamash
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
Blessed are YOU, Oh ABBA YAHUVEH who is our Creator, our HEAVENLY FATHER in HEAVEN, YOU are KING of the Universe who has sanctified us by HIS word and instructed us to kindle the Hanukkah lights and do this in remembrance.
(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,
v’al hat-shu-oth v’al 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 y’de ko-ha-ne-cho, hak-k’do-shim. V’chol sh’-mo-nath y’may
by means of Thy holy priests. During all the eight days of
chanu-kah, han-ne-roth hal-lo-lu ko-desh; v’ain lo-nu r’shuth
Chanukah these lights are sacred, neither is it permitted us to make any profane
use of them
l’hish-ta-mesh bo-hem el-lo lir-o-tom bil-vad. K’de l’ho-doth,
but we are only to look at them, in order that we may give thanks
L’shim-cha al ni-se-cho, v’al y’shu-o-se-te-cho, v’al nif-l’o-te-cho
unto Thy name for Thy miracles, thy deliverences and thy wonders.
Second Blessing While Lighting The Menorah Candles With the Shamash
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.
Blessed are YOU, ABBA YAHUVEH our CREATOR, our HEAVENLY FATHER, KING of the universe, who performed miracles for our forefathers in those days and who will continue to give us miracles and deliverance from the reprobate enemies’ hands at this time of Hanukkah. Hanukkah in Hebrew means dedication. Hanukkah means deliverance and miracles and we have 8 days that we can rejoice and wait. When you’re lighting those Hanukkah oil lanterns or Hanukkah candles, just expect miracles, ask forgiveness in YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH'S NAME then you go to the FATHER ABBA YAHUVEH and you ask what you will. And if its HIS will, we believe in miracles and it will happen and HE will deliver us once again from the hands of the enemies who seek our destruction
Third Blessing
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.
Blessed are You, Oh ABBA YAHUVEH our CREATOR, our HEAVENLY FATHER, KING of
the universe, who has granted us life, provided for us, who has given us this
revelation that YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH is the living Menorah, the living Torah,
the word that was made flesh as we celebrate this feast of dedication on this
festival of lights as we honor the eternal light YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH.
The desire of our heart is to be a light so we can lead souls to YAHUSHUA HA
MASHIACH. No flesh can be saved except through the name and the blood of
YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH. Acts 4:12 There is salvation in none other, for neither is
there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, in which we must be
saved!"
YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH is the only blood atonement for people who confess, repent
and turn away from their sins.
YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH was crucified and was accused of Blasphemy by saying HE is
the Son of GOD YAHUVEH, and on the third day arose from the dead.
YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH did more miracles than any book could hold until HE
ascended into HEAVEN on the 40th day before many witnesses Acts 1:3 He presented
himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them
during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
Matthew 4:17 From that time YAHUSHUA began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Below is a reminder of all of the ways YAHUVEH delivered our Jewish ancestors as written in the Holy Scriptures:
These lights we kindle upon the miracles, the wonders, the salvation, through
YAHUSHUA and His gift at calvary, and the battles which You performed for our
forefathers in those days at this season through Your holy priests. During all
eight days of Chanukah these lights are sacred, and we are not permitted to make
ordinary use of them, but only to look at them in order to express thanks and
praise to Your great Name for Your miracles, Your wonders and Your salvation.
I.
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.

John 9:1-7
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him,
"Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?""Neither
this man nor his parents sinned," said YAHUSHUA, "but this happened so that the
work of God might be displayed in his life. As long as it is day, we must do the
work of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in
the world, I am the light of the world."Having said this, he spit on the ground,
made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. "Go," he told him,
"wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent). So the man went and washed,
and came home seeing.
