Bible Study Hanukkah – The Circumcision of the Messiah

Hanukkah – The Circumcision of the Messiah

I have always considered Hanukkah just a Jewish imitation of a Christian Christmas. But consider that Hanukkah lasts for 8 days, and Jesus was circumcised on the 8th day after birth as mandated by the covenant of Abraham, then Hanukkah becomes symbolic of Jesus Christ's circumcision.

Jesus is called the second and last Adam. At the circumcision of the Messiah the infant Jesus was given the name 'Emmanuel' which God the Father had chosen for his only son. When man was created sinless God gave him his name 'Adam'. Likewise Jesus is the second and last Adam since God gave his newly born sinless son his name 'Emmanuel' which means 'God is with us'.

Hanukkah and Christmas go together since Christmas is the birth of the messiah, a light unto the world, and Hanukkah is the festival of lights whereby that light shall dwell inside every believer through the indwelling Holy Spirit and it will never go out!

God named Adam, and then his very own son 'Emmanuel' when he was born a man, and both were sinless. Adam became sin when he was tempted by Eve. Jesus Christ became sin when he was nailed to the cross to suffer death for all of our sins. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was as if all of mankind was trying to nail the forbidden fruit, complete with two bite marks, back on the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil to undo their sin in the Garden of Eden.

Believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ who is the messiah Emmanuel Yahshua - God with us – and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit (hint: get baptized) and become one of the Hanukkah candles symbolic of God's Holy Spirit that can never be extinguished.

God Bless

Try googling Hanukkah or see what Wikipedia has to say. Then you will know what it's actually about.

Hannukah was first (25th of Kislev). The middle candle is the Shamash (Servant) it represents the Eternal Light (He is the Light of the world). It is the candle from which all other candles receive their light. Oddly when Christ was crucified on Passover, according to the feasts in John, He would have begun His public ministry at around 30 and ministered for 3 and 1/2 years. If we count back the 1/2 year we come to Tabernacles (the 8th day is the day God would come and manifest in the Tabernacle...God with us) which is more likely His actual birthday. Now if you count back 9 months to His conception you come to Hannukah (the feast of lights and He is the Light of the world).

Hanukkah is a celebration from the Menorah (oil lamp) during the dedication of the second temple.during the 400 years between the book of Malachi and the birth of Christ (called the silent years). The Jews were at war with the Greeks. The menorah kept on burning 8 days after it ran out of oil. (It is also called the Festival of Lights)
 
As a point of interest on this subject, this year the 25th of Kislev falls on the 25th of December. The two feast days are conjoined. Our household will be lighting a Menorah for 8 days along with out Tree being lit to celebrate the Light of the World our Lord Jesus the Messiah in all his symbolic reference. Be at peace family for we are new people, Jew AND gentile one IN messiah. A new creation IN Him. Be blessed all...

We will do both for fun. We are going to tell our grandchildren the story of Hannukah as well because it is part of the Jesus story. Did you know the history of Dreidel goes back to the time of the Maccabees? It is likely that as a child Jesus played this with His friends.

Where is the festival of lights in the Bible? Thanks

The festival of lights is not in the Scriptures, it is only in the Book of the Maccabees. It has to do with the second dedication of the temple. Israel was under siege by the Greeks or Macedonia. The Menorah (a seven place oil light, called a candlestick in Revelation) ran out of oil, yet burned for eight more days. The reason it is not in the Bible is because it has nothing to do with the coming and promises of the Savior. Every OT Feast Days is a type of Christ. Hanukkah is not.
