Messianic Feast of Dedication: "Chanukah" Haggadah:

Chanukah is a beautiful holy day which was celebrated by Yâ€™shua Himself. Even today it is celebrated by Jewish people and Gentile Believers. Many Believers know Scripture well enough to know that this holy day is prophetically mentioned in the book of Daniel.

Most surprising to both the Jewish and the Christian communities is that the clearest mention of Chanukah in the Bible is in the Fulfilled Covenant! "Then came Chanukah in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Yâ€™shua was walking around inside the Temple area, in Solomonâ€™s Colonnade" (John 10:22â€“23). The Jewish people, who normally celebrate this holy day, have scant biblical references for it; yet the people who do not normally celebrate Chanukah have the most explicit reference to it in the Fulfilled Covenant! This brings us to the core reason why Believers in Messiah Yâ€™shua might want to understand and celebrate this holy day. The Messiah celebrated it!

Not only did Yâ€™shua celebrate Chanukah, but He observed it in the same Temple that had been cleansed and rededicated just a few generations earlier under the Maccabee brothers.

Many Jewish scholars see a deeper spiritual meaning to Chanukah. The editors of the popular Artscroll Mesorah Series state: "Then, the light is kindled to give inspiration, for the light of Messiah must burn brightly in our hearts" (Chanukah, Mesorah Publications, Brooklyn, 1981, p. 104). This is a logical conclusion. Because Chanukah is a celebration of deliverance, it has also become a time to express Messianic hope. Just like the Maccabees were used by YHWH to redeem Israel, perhaps the greatest redeemerâ€”the Messiahâ€”would also come at this time!

With this understanding, we more fully appreciate the scenes that unfolded as Yâ€™shua celebrated the feast 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Amidst the festivities, Yâ€™shua was approached by some rabbis who asked a simple question: "How much longer are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us publicly" (John 10:24). The answer to this very appropriate question is contained in Yâ€™shuaâ€™s fundamental Chanukah message. He clearly reiterates His claim and the proofs of His Messiahship as can clearly be seen in John 10:25â€“39.

The feast that Yâ€™shua celebratedâ€”Chanukahâ€”and the Pagan feast that that was adopted by the Roman church in 325 C.E. after Messiah walked the earth; namely, "Christmas", which YHWH forbids us to celebrate (Jer 10:3-5) runs parallel in time in the month of December. Now, which one will you celebrate?
