Pastor Shane Vaughn Teaches LIVE "Hanukkah, the cure for Hellenism" - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es0Xyc8eGfk Transcript: (00:00) tonight I'm just going to give you an overview of Hanukkah now tonight I plan to destroy and decimate this there are some in the Messianic movement that are condemning keeping of Hanukkah and the Christians say that Hanukkah is not for us it's for the Jewish people tonight and by the end of tomorrow at one o'clock tomorrow I make you a promise you will never not celebrate Hanukkah till you die after this weekend never will never not do it because and it's imperative that you understand we are living in a moment of time (00:51) where Yahweh has called us Muhammad Hanukkah has called for us and if you don't understand why you will tonight and then tomorrow you'll really understand why in the last 20 to 30 years Hanukkah how many of you just 10 years ago the thought of celebrating Hanukkah how far from your mind was it a mile away and here you are celebrating honor and you need to know see we are in this ministry we don't just tell you celebrate Hanukkah we give you the back story (01:55) we give you the spiritual reason why you need to celebrate Hanukkah the title of the lesson is Hanukkah The Cure for Hellenism Hanukkah The Cure for Hellenism now I'm going to warn you the first part of tonight's class for those that are not interested is going to be boring because I've got to break some things down I don't have the privilege that other preachers have most men can take the microphone and just preach a message and go home it takes me 30 minutes to unlearn you everything you've ever learned and I got (02:45) to do it in 30 minutes that's before sister Callie I could even start preaching so this ministry it takes me 30 minutes to tear up your garden before I can plant the first seed so tonight we got to pull up the old Garden and it's going to seem boring for those that don't want their Garden pulled up but those that will watch this video for years down the road we want you to hear intently what we have to say I want you to look on the screen and you'll see to your left that graphic on your left is the land of Israel natural Israel (03:32) that is known as the northern tribe and the southern tribes that image on the left believe it or not is so small it is smaller than New York it is smaller than this piece of land a piece of land before Yahweh divided the Earth at one time the entire Earth was one unit at one time there was no continents it the land mass was in the center and it was one land mass that was in the days of peleg that was but then Yahweh divided the continents and before he divided the continents if you'll bring them all back together as a (04:27) jigsaw puzzle you'll see what's the very center of the Earth and it's that little piece of land called Israel it is the little apple of his eye in other words it's the eyeball of the whole earth that little piece of land now the unique thing about Israel is even though it is non-important in land size every Empire of world history has wanted that piece of land now I want to talk to you about a few of these Empires if you'll look at the graphic on the right what you'll see in that graphic is that this was the Persian Empire now (05:21) I want you to look to the right to where the purple is and follow it all the way over to the green right there where the green meets the purple is the land of Israel but all of that land mass was the Persian Empire now Israel was thrown all over from one Empire to the next in other words one Empire would take over and they would rule Israel Israel was a vassal state and they would be ruled by these Empires now keep this in mind because in the morning I'm going to show you some scriptures about these Empires that are going to (06:14) blow your minds but you need to know that Israel the land itself was wanted by all the world Empires everyone that ever rose on the Earth the Assyrians took Israel the Babylonians took Israel the Assyrians took over the Babylonians took over and the Persians took over now Mama dot when these empires ruled Israel they had a hands-off approach to Israel in other words who agreed to submit to the Empire and in return they would give you protection and they wouldn't go to war with you and kill your wife and your kids okay (07:08) but you would pay them taxes and you would be part of the Umpire well any Empire knows that to keep these people happy there's a few things you don't mess with their religion their culture and their food if you take over Louisiana you don't make us eat Northern food you're gonna have trouble sir now we'll submit to you all day long but we're gonna eat po' boys and they're gonna be sloppy and they're gonna have mayonnaise pouring out of them and you're gonna have gravy to your elbows don't mess with our food don't mess with our religion don't tell (07:58) us how to have church and we'll we'll all get along just fine see they tried to tell us we couldn't go to church during covet they found out don't mess with our religion our culture and our food Israel was ruled by a fair they let them they let them do their own affairs and keep that in mind now all of this began to change with this young man on the screen the fall of yahweh's people began in 332 BC the man on that horse is Alexander the Great was where we get the word hellenization she had a way of doing things (08:52) and that way of doing things that culture what's called hellenization and her son Alexander spread hellenization anywhere he went their way of living let's talk about some of their ways of living they loved Sports they love sports in Greece you ever heard of the Olympics where do you think it came from it's part of hellenization that's why I encourage men of Israel we don't mind your sports but you you better be very careful there's a spirit gets on it if it ever keeps you out of church you've been hellenized if it ever be you know becomes (09:50) I want to tell you if you're hellenized right now if you act more crazy watching a football game than you do at church you've been hellenized amen you have no problem screaming at a but but in the house of God you've been hellenized okay men of Israel scream at the name Yahweh we scream at the sound of a shafar ah we've not been hellenized Hallelujah hellenization uh was a I was a culture of fashion and this this everything about Alexander the Great everywhere he would conquer his influence would take over that land that he (10:52) conquered now let me give you an example if if someone wants to send their wife from over in Mecca to America and just let her live here for six months when that wife goes back they'll say she's been Americanized she won't be fit to be married to because she'll act like American women rebellious stubborn Jezebels over talks men anyway yeah I said it I'll say it again thank you thank you sir [Applause] she's been Americanized well when we say the word hellenized it's the same thing you've started to think like an American you've started to (11:50) think like Americans when act like they act and as Alexander the Great begin to ride across the nation the Conquering Nations he brought the hellenization culture with him the first thing he always brought what's classical Greek language before Alex have you ever wondered why your new testament is Greek and not Hebrew because it was Macedonia it was Alexander that conquered Israel and calls them to give up their Hebrew language and it became a language that was only spoken maybe in the home but not in the streets (12:49) it's the same way now sister uh I was watching sister Callie the other night we were at a restaurant a Mexican restaurant and uh we were all ordering and she starts talking to the waiter and her language and their language now when she did that you know why she did it there was a familiarity there with her people okay now she don't walk around talking that language here in America because it's not she's not going to be able to trade with people she's not going to be able to do business with people right because that language is the language of (13:29) your people it's the language of your home people and when you go home matter of fact brother moretzky is probably watching tonight they're from Russia their two children don't know a word of English brother maretsky they've never taught their children English yet they taught them Russian those children don't know any English they're Simon and uh uh uh oh what's the baby Estella and Simon no no English and I asked him you know I didn't quite understand that you know they're not going to be able to really function in our society (14:08) but he said if I can teach them their home language first when they get out in the world the world will teach them their language I'm trying to get somewhere okay so Alexander when he came to the land of Judah they wanted to speak his language which was Greek everywhere he went he brought his culture and his language the Jews became subject to Alexander the Great now when Alexander died he was 32 years old he conquered the whole world at the age of by the age of 32. (14:55) and in the morning I'm going to show you some scriptures that just where everything is all prophesied but nevertheless he conquered the whole world at the age of 32. his kingdom was bigger than the Persian Kingdom when he was dying they said who do you want to succeed you and his answer was simple he had four generals four and they said which one of your generals do you want to succeed you on his Deathbed he said whoever's the strongest at that moment now I want you to notice the year that that Alexander rode through (15:46) Jerusalem was 332 BC right that in your note because I want you to know why you celebrate Hanukkah don't ever celebrate anything just like y'all celebrating Christmas all your life had no idea what you were celebrating don't be dumb don't do that ever know why you do everything you do all right 332 BC Alexander Rose and came through Jerusalem he died at 32 at his death there were four kingdoms created out of the Greek Empire for you know why because those four generals brother Patrick that was his generals they were all just as strong as the (16:33) other and nobody could overcome the other so they divided into four kingdoms the first one is the ptolemic Kingdom of Egypt that was General Ptolemy the next one was the solution Kingdom with General Solutions the next was the kingdom of pergamon General cassander and then Macedon General antigonus now now what do you have Greece is over now you have four nations or Empires that have come out of Greece but they are still hellenized all right now I want to show you what happened and I want you to follow this story well (17:36) at the time that Alexander the Great died all of the business of Jerusalem was handled in the temple the high priest was the president of the nation the high priest was the political leader and the religious leader the high priest governed the land of Israel completely all religious and secular matters were handled in the Jewish temple this was their government seat think of the capital in Washington that was that Temple they made laws there that's where the Pharisees the Sadducees met they made laws but but but (18:27) the high priest was a Zeta kite priest The Zeta kite priesthood governed the Temple of Yahweh it's important that you remember that let's go to Ezekiel 44. 15. Ezekiel 44 15 Elder Morgan read for me while he's going there you need to know that everything about Israel was unique they were unique from the rest of the world they were monotheists what's a monotheist one God they were not polytheistic they were monotheistic they believed hero Israel Yahweh is the only living God they lived holy and separated lives from (19:29) the world Israel was a separated people they had their own language that came to them from heaven Yahweh gave them the Hebrew language everything about them was different now let's read Ezekiel 44 and 15. but the priest the Levites the sons of zadok that kept the charge of My Sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me they shall come near to me to minister unto me and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood saith the Lord God Yahweh all right sister uh Durfee according to that verse which priest (20:29) were the only ones allowed to now serve in the temple the sons of cedar now before this who served in the temple believites believe that y'all better get this because I'm going somewhere the Levites were now being replaced now according to that scripture somebody tell me why they're being replaced sister Katrina that's right they broke the Commandments and they had no regard for yahweh's Commandments but there was one priest that they there's always one there's always one there was one priest that stayed faithful to the Sabbath (21:27) stay faithful to the Commandments his name was zadok and the father said brother Shane Sewell from this day forward all of the other priests are replaced with the sons of zadok so when Alexander the Great rides into Jerusalem guess who is one of is the high priest over the temple priest Now read Ezekiel 48 and 11. (22:03) it shall be for the priests that are Sanctified of the sons of zadok which have kept my charge oh yes which went not astray when the children of Israel went oh Hallelujah as the Levites went astray come on now these are the only people this is the only Authority I will recognize over my church it's the zetacite priesthood because when those other preachers went astray there was a group of preachers that held on to the old path Hallelujah there was somebody that held on to the ancient way and he said from this day forward Mama (22:49) died they are replaced now look at that priest look at that priest and I want you to understand something about that priest right now he was legitimate see God doesn't recognize leadership he recognizes legitimate leadership brother Bob I'm going to submit to my leader you better submit to one that God said is the leader they can't wear that title he's got to give it to him you can't go start your own work no no no because God has to place that mantle upon your shoulder I never asked for this work I didn't even want it me and (23:38) my wife had a happy quiet life but somebody put it on my shoulders and when you see legitimate Authority that is what you sit under anything that breaks away is not legitimate no sir you better learn the difference in authority and usurped authority that's why I do not honor Joe Biden he is a usurper he is not a president he's a lie he's a deception he's not the leader that's why I fight for the real one I know in my gut who the leader is because I got the Holy Ghost [Music] you know when something ain't right ain't nobody I you know what I don't (24:36) even need no evidence keep you evident I don't I know right here I know right there something ain't right I don't I don't need to see no Ballot Box I we all know they know I said they know they just glad they got by with it but like I always said honey it may be a long time coming but when it comes it don't take long Hallelujah God will send the richest man in the world to buy the crime scene Hallelujah I said God said God I'll send the richest man in the world to buy the crime scene [Applause] it's just getting started over there (25:16) baby God only recognizes legitimacy that's all he recognizes now while he was on the throne this man was on the throne that is when the solution Empire one of the how many remember that's one of the four that broke away from from Greece the solutions by Governor seleucid that ought to be easy for you they now capture Jerusalem Egypt doesn't capture them none of the other Urban but the solution Empire now takes over Jerusalem now that happened in 198 BC but I want you to notice something when did Alexander come through in what (26:12) year 332 BC now let's go forward what about uh 198 BC what's that about 100 years later I want to show you how the devil works it took Alexander coming through a hundred years earlier to prepare the hearts of God's people for the next ACT a hundred years later Satan never gets you overnight he sends a strong delusion it took a hundred years for hellenization to slowly get in their minds because what happened in 198 BC couldn't have happened if Alexander wouldn't have paved the way (27:18) only those that have an ear of the spirit tonight is going to pick up what I'm putting down I'm fixing to show you Hanukkah you better you better look past and you better see it's a prophetic celebration of what God is doing right now at the end of the world and 198 BC they took over and they were busy so they was not worried about Israel they waited he's over there fighting Egypt the ruler of the solution Empire General solution so they take over Israel and what leave them alone they fighting in Egypt okay now here's what you need to understand (28:13) as an Empire takes over a nation or a state into their Commonwealth it's just like a hundred years ago you you let me show you how this works the United States of America is an Empire they have taken over 50 Nations each state Virginia is its Kentucky is its own Nation got its own president they call it a governor it's on Congress it's a nation just like Israel was now 150 years ago brother Lutz you were a proud Kentuckian but now you're a proud American it was never supposed to be that way you were never to be a citizen of the (29:17) United States of America you were a citizen of the state you didn't hear the old politicians say and I'm I'm a good citizen of the great state of so and so you don't hear that no more you know why you've been Americanized the Empire took over and now your mind is all about America instead of Mississippi and you start losing your Southern identity they'll take your flag away if you're not careful I don't think I'd go there oh yeah they'll take your Southern identity away because they're gonna americanize you this is the way Empires do now they let (30:24) you think you're still a state but you better get Americanized or they'll mock your state make fun of your state tell you you're backwards because of your state yeah and they'll remind you all the horrible things about your state ladies and gentlemen that's the way an Empire does the British Commonwealth the British Commonwealth takes over Nations like Jamaica now here's the thing about when the Empire takes over can still talk Jamaican y'all I'm going somewhere just hang tight you can still speak jamaicamon okay (31:16) but if you want to succeed in the Commonwealth or the Empire you better learn English you better lose your identity and What Makes You Different enjoying the bigger picture if you want to succeed financially brother Rickman you've got to speak our language now if you want to go home and y'all talk your little talk in tongues in your little church whatever y'all want to do that's fine but if you want to succeed in the Empire you've got to become Amalgamated you've got to become part of the whole rather than being unique or being (32:11) different or be it I'm gonna preach to you tonight when I get done here if you're you cannot be different you've got to become part of the whole now these changes happen slowly we're just now starting to get over our Southern identity matter of fact our children are ashamed of our Southern identity you know why you sent them to government schools baby I'm proud of the South y'all didn't have no good music without the style you didn't even know how to sing the blues without the South but they don't want to be proud of the (32:54) South they want me to become one of them I need help now one of them and and this is called hellenization I told you Hanukkah it's the cure for hellenization Hallelujah the Jewish people they begin to be hellenized a hundred years earlier the first thing they did they learned the Greek language that's why it's important children of Yahweh to be careful what comes out of your mouth we don't talk like them they speak negative we Speak Life they speak death we Speak Life they speak a language that they want you to learn (33:54) they speak ill of other people and we bless other people we are just different like that amen they don't they will hate you because you won't give up your your identity as a True Believer all right their language is Gossip run people down that you ain't even talked to to find out why you're running them down that's the language of the hellenization and ladies and gentlemen listen to me there is uh if you're not careful when Alexander rode through Jerusalem speaking Greek they thought that was beautiful that was beautiful different language we like the (34:44) sound of that your mind begins to be enticed by anything other than Israel or Hebrew or Jewish and so they come through and they change their language first you listen to me I can tell by the way someone's talking which way they're headed I listen to people talk I listen you know why because I'm listening for the sound of my people my people don't talk like that no no no I'm listening for the sound of my home folk and my home folks don't run one another down they don't spread accusation against an elder they don't (35:35) spread hate and vitriol I'm looking for my people I can tell in two seconds if you're my people or not and hellenization they always spouting off at the mouth and before long they'll have you spouting off at the mouth don't take long Hellenism was conquering yahweh's people Hellenism was mainly practiced by the upper echelon in Jerusalem those that wanted to be something they wanted to become Greek mainly the wealthy priests and the merchants and The Aristocrats but outside of Jerusalem Elder Morgan down in the country (36:28) and Galilee where Yeshua was from out there among the fishermen's sister they wasn't so impressed with the Greek it was the people in the city and Jerusalem but those people out there living their lives they stayed faithful to the old ways now remember this Hellenism was not forced on God's people oh no it was enticing the God's people the Israelites were impressed with the culture of another kingdom they were impressed with the holidays of Greece [Music] well here comes the Greeks they don't celebrate Passover they celebrate and (37:25) Sue state but look how much fun they're having nobody forced this on them oh no I'm gonna help you tonight nobody forced them to turn into Greeks they were impressed with Greece they weren't preached with the language the arch the sports the theaters the coliseums the beauty The Prestige and if they could learn to be more like the Greeks that the Greeks would be more accepting of them in their society what they desired listen to me and listen to what I'm about to tell you never forget it yahweh's people was not Desiring to be (38:19) Greeks they were Desiring to be accepted by the Greeks it just wanted to be cool with the Greeks they just didn't want to stand out as a matter of fact they were getting tired of being different they just wanted to fit in so now they never brother Rick Connolly if you would have told them that they were turning their back on Yahweh no sir we're not never we go to the temple we're all circumcised we're not turning our back on Yahweh we just want to fit in now it all changed the man you see on your screen (39:23) 175 BC changed everything and I'm fixing to tell you why 175 BC changed everything because there was a coup that happened now remember it started in 332 BC but here we are 200 years later there's been 200 years of conditioning now for this moment I'm about to teach you about tonight a moment that could never have happened sister magazine without the conditioning of the Mind 200 years and what happened that man his name is onias III you're looking at the grandfather of John the Baptist the great grandfather John the Baptist (40:25) his name was onias III now he was the legitimate Zeta kite high priest but in 175 A.D a man took over the solution Empire General solution died and the his brother ascended the throne his brother's name was Antiochus epiphanies Antiochus epiphanies the Antichrist I'm going to teach you something tonight I don't care if I get in a hurry or not you drove a long way to hear truth you might as well hear it okay Antiochus epiphanies took over the solution Empire now what's in the solution Empire Jerusalem and he saw that General solution (41:32) did not take the Jewish people and convert them to Hellenism quickly enough so now he knows when he takes the throne he needs to now take Israel they've been conditioned for 200 years they ought to be about rape oh and he determines we're now going to finish what we started how how we're going to take down the legitimate leadership of the church onias III was the only legitimate Pastor in Israel he was God's chosen man and here's what they said if we want to bring them all the way in if we want that Temple they worship in (42:36) I come to teach you about Hanukkah that's where we're going if we want that Temple the only way we can get it is destroy the legitimate Voice of Truth the legitimate leader we must destroy him we must get rid of onias III that's John the Baptist great-grandfather whoa that's why it was John the Baptist that had to baptize yahshua he was the only legitimate high priest of Israel [Applause] that all might be fulfilled all of the law the lamb had to be inspected by the legitimate high priest John the Baptist he said behold the (43:35) Spotless lamb of Yahweh foreign so here's what happens he says we're going to replace we're not going to kill him yet we're going to replace onias III and we're going to shut down the Voice of Truth we're still going to have church nothing's going to change brother let's you know children we don't want y'all to stop going to the temple we just want to control what you're told when you get there we want to give you a 501c3 so we can control what you're saying we don't want y'all to quit going to church we love the church they needed (44:30) the church so here's what happened there was a coup that took place and onias was replaced with another priest he was not the legitimate one his name was Joshua that's him on the left there that's a coin with his image on it an actual coin Joshua the high priest now Joshua was in League with Antiochus Antiochus was the Antichrist now tomorrow you're going to learn all about the Antichrist Antiochus was the Antichrist that the Bible prophesied would come he listened to me listen well the voice of the Antichrist always (45:31) replaces in the church The Voice of Truth they couldn't take the temple sister shipment they first put their preacher in how do you think the churches have all been destroyed that started a hundred years ago conditioning their mind and then putting their own Seminary preachers in the Pulpit to put God's people to sleep now what is the first thing Joshua does when he becomes high priest he changes his name to Jason because Joshua was too Jewish did you hear me Yeshua yahshua the church don't like that name I just don't like the name yahua why (46:34) yeah they just replace it to a more Greek sounding name Hanukkah is the cure for hellenization I'm going to get happy here in a minute but I'm still trying to hold my horses to get along with this Empire change the names to where it's more English sounding more Greek sounding the name yahshua is offensive to a Christian those poor people think we've changed the name darling go do your research baby you changed the name not us [Applause] see Jesus is just a little more American sounding that name yahshua is hated (47:39) the Bible said you'll be hated for my name's sake I don't know anybody that hates you for saying the name Jesus hardly the whole world loves it but you say the name yahshua and watch what happens even from Pentecostals you've said a word that to them is a curse word you've changed the name no I changed it back baby get it right [Applause] thought of what you don't know anything about if you don't understand it just keep your mouth shut don't mock what Yahweh has restored don't make fun of my of what Yahweh is restoring to the end time Church (48:27) [Applause] if you want the church to hate you start sounding Jewish oh yes this high priest changed the name to Jason the name yahshua y a h s h u a when the Greeks came along they took the name yah out and changed it to yeah which means he is my salvation rather than yah is my salvation and then they translate Yeshua to Greek which is isus and then they translate from Greek to English which is Jesus Jesus baby I'm going back to the original you can make fun you can laugh you do whatever you want to but this is the (49:29) hour of restoration of all things he came in his father's name yahshua is that name yah ain't in there oh listen to me I told you tonight there's a cure for your Hellenism you've all been hellenized every one of you I said every one of you been hellenized by the Christian church the church that found it from their from their prostitute Mama the Catholic Church you all came from there ethnic denomination came out of her

celebration your holidays I will stand faithful [Applause] do you know why do you know why people have to allow me and say where all my money's coming from you know why they lie like that because they don't understand something when favor opens up on your life you don't even know where your money comes from listen listen God has favored this ministry do you know why he favored it because we stood for truth when everybody made fun of us when everybody mocked us he opened (51:19) the windows of Heaven over this house he opened the windows of Heaven from all over the nation go back to the original don't say you're Apostolic be Apostolic if there's anybody in here that don't think you've been hellenized you need to come to the altar everyone in this room has been hellenized the traditions of Rome your Trinity Doctrine was hellenization oh yeah your false baptism was hellenization but I know a cure for hellenization that's why I celebrate Hanukkah Hallelujah the Cure is here

worship the way they worship which is no worship at all when you lose your passion for praise when you lose those tears at the altar when you lose what makes you when you lose stress and modest and holy when you lose the things that make us different you've lost it all you no longer are anything amen now I want to talk to you about (57:07) epiphanies there he is right there 175 BC now his name was Antiochus but his title was epiphanies do you know what the word Epiphany means manifested from God or God incarnate you ever heard the saying I've had an epiphany you've connected to a higher dimension you had an epiphany his title was Antiochus epiphany he came from God he is a God Antiochus claim to be divine he claimed to be a God not Yahweh but he claimed to be a God or the God of this world he was known as a Madman he became the new ruler over Judea in (58:08) 175 BC now this is where the story is fixing to really get good I'm going to show you why we celebrate Hanukkah and why it's more biblical than you can ever imagine now when epiphanies came to the throne even Jason [Music] still had a little too much chewing him because he came from a Jewish bloodline he still kept the Sabbath so Epiphany said you know what we got to speed up the process of taking over the Temple of Yahweh I want you to hear me and I want you to hear me well since the Roman Catholic Church was established just like when Alexander (58:59) rode through God's Church the stage was set to begin changing your mind to begin changing Sister Laura to begin transforming the way you think about the word of God and because it wasn't time yet for the total Destruction of the church we had to condition you first for two thousand they did it for 200. (59:26) that's a shadow Alexander from him to epiphanies was 200 years or two thousand there had to be a gradual transformation from an Apostolic mindset to a Christian mindset what I mean by Apostolic what the apostles taught that original way for two thousand years Alexander's been riding through the church appealing to us by being accepted as Christians because the minute we set that manure outside we just told the world we're not like the church or the world [Applause] we're Israel we're Israel we know who we are we're blessed (1:00:31) so what does he do the man that at first supported Jason now turns against Jason and brings in the next high priest that has no ties whatsoever to anything Sabbath or holy days or anything like that his name was Menelaus Menelaus replace Jason now what was menelaus's first thing that he did it was he had to pay taxes to Antiochus so he goes and sells the sacred vessels in the temple now brother he didn't destroy the temple that's got to come gradually he started giving no value he showed the things connected to the (1:01:37) temple I want you to hear me everybody you begin to hold no one with the things of the Temple begin to hold no value to you the first time you missed Church the Sabbath day you're telling it has no value in my life because you don't miss your doctor's appointment you don't miss nothing but but the church see that's okay all you're doing is selling things that don't value in your life you're not selling God yet no you would never do that but you just started selling out on the things connected to God maybe you start selling out the value of (1:02:32) Elders in the church you start selling out the value of prayer you start selling out the value of praying in the altars you start selling out the value of respecting the man of God you start selling out the value of loving your brothers and your sisters you just start selling little things you don't leave the church yet you just start selling Menelaus just sold a few things to pay the bills there's some things you don't sell the Bible said by the truth and sell it not [Music] the minute you start selling out truths (1:03:23) you've sold it all I promise you the minute you miss one of these Sabbath Bible studies and all of a sudden something else that it's okay I love you I don't care what you do but I make you a promise I make you a prophecy the minute you start devaluing Integrity in the offices of the church the minute you start listening to things that that the things of God it won't be long now here's what happened when he started to sell those things Menelaus guess who was still in the temple they hadn't killed him yet onias III (1:04:11) and guess what he did when he saw meneleia selling holy things he stood up he turned on his webcam to be the Voice of Truth he stood up and he said he publicly accused this preacher oh don't talk about preachers brother Vaughn we like it but just don't mention other preachers names and don't run out of the preachers down and don't talk about what they're doing but oh nice the third said middle name Elisha you're wrong he sent me the last you're wrong you've stolen from the house of Yahweh and here's what happened Menelaus he (1:05:14) called over a man by the name of andronicus and he told andronicus if he tells if Anna if if if if onias gets the Antiochus and tells him that I've stolen from the temple Antiochus will kill me you take onias the third The Voice of Truth that's telling me the truth and you take him behind the building and you cut it through doctor you get rid of that original Authority get rid of that legitimate Authority get rid of Truth okay the only legitimate Authority he threw him out the church cut his throat they killed John the Baptist great (1:06:16) grandfather right then they took all the sadikites and threw him out of the church I'm glad they threw me out too [Applause] middleus was selling the Sabbath for Sunday and here was so nice hey wait a minute don't do it shut him down shut him up dig up his past send emails to everybody shut his voice down baby you can kill onias but you can't to kill the truth because John the Baptist is coming right behind him do you understand me did you hear what I said [Applause] tell me if you want to but there's an elder Morgan there's an elder homage (1:07:18) there's many more coming up right behind me darling [Applause] you can't shut this thing down you kill me but you can't shut this thing down Hallelujah Jason had the support of the people while Antiochus was at War I want you to hear me Antiochus went to war while Menelaus was the priest he had just killed onias III now Jason got a rumor the high appreciation that Antiochus died in Egypt yes sir that's correct now Jason heard Antiochus is dead so Jason now raises up a coup because he don't like mental ass he knows Menelaus (1:08:19) is too far to the left now Jason ain't all the way to the right he's a rhino but he was still of the Jewish bloodline he still was with the Republican party is anybody awake now now Jason wasn't he wasn't no Mecca but he was better than AOC okay this is who Jason is all right so when he hears that Antiochus is dead the people wanted to bring some truth back to the church and because Menelaus was too far to the left he was like the Southern Baptist convention another that's went too far and so they sat down they said uh let's get Jason back (1:09:16) now don't get oniasis kids back they too far to the right but let's get chasing back he's Halfway Christian and halfway Jewish so they got him back Antiochus wasn't dead he got word that the people of Yahweh had overthrown his Antichrist his false priest when he heard that they were planning to restore some truth not even altered just some back to the church it angered him so bad they were fixing to see a man they've never seen before you listened to me when Satan gets wore that you've started restoring truth in your temple (1:10:16) he'll come back from war to prove to you you're not going to do it I want you to hear me Antioch has heard they were restoring truth and he came home from war to stop it remember Antiochus was the first Antichrist listen to me he is the symbol of Satan the minute you begin to reclaim truth he has an assignment to destroy you from doing it that's why many are not with us today that started with us he sent lying spirits to them to mess up their mind and they sit at home tonight with no family you know why they listened to these spirits that (1:11:19) Antiochus sent to them to divert them from truth and to distract them with distractions you listen to me the minute you start coming back to truth hell will get the message I want you to hear me and they will send every demon they have to stop you from restoring the temple go [Applause] Only the Strong Will Survive and that's what Hanukkah is all about did you hear me Only the Strong Will Survive you'll never not celebrate Hanukkah after this weekend I haven't got to Hanukkah yet it took all this to just get us ready for (1:12:06) Hanukkah what did he do he what did Antiochus do stormed into Jerusalem and kill Jason and reinstated Menelaus I want to give a prophetic word to somebody right now if you're not careful when you begin to be distracted from restoring truth in your life it won't be long to where that Voice of Truth will be killed in your life and Menelaus will be put back on the throne of your temple foreign came back to Jerusalem now this brings us up to 100. (1:13:00) Here Comes Antiochus back into Jerusalem angry puts Menelaus back on the throne what's the first thing he does remember he allowed Israel a light hand do your little Sabbath do you little not anymore you think you're going to restore truth I'm fixing to make it so miserable for you you'll forget this little venture and you'll let Menelaus your former Pastor back on the throne in Elias the one preaching Christianity to you and in the morning you're going to hear about that Christianity I hope you're ready for in the morning (1:13:52) listen carefully what's the first thing it does no more Sabbath day stop it because it's that Sabbath that's making you different it's time for you to get complete we've been playing with you for 200 years it's time now for you to become a real Christian join in when we do it or you don't do it come on it's time for you to acclimate completely now why because you started talking and asking questions about truth I'm gonna put Menelaus back on your throne no more Sabbath no more holy days were allowed in the temple of Yahweh here he (1:14:47) come he comes to the church he was the Antichrist wait till I get on the next Antichrist in the morning he wants the Antichrist anytime the Antichrist gets in a church the first thing he'll take is the Sabbath day has anybody got ears are you just you think I'm talking about Antiochus right now is anybody going on and saying okay I know where he's headed now oh yeah Antiochus is a shadow baby of the next Temple mama mama the next Antichrist the first thing took Sabbath and holy days and then he changed the name of the church (1:15:39) from the house of Yahweh to the house of Zeus he took a statue of Zeus put him on the altar right before the Altar and Antiochus took his face and carved antiochus's face into the zoo statue set himself up in the temple as God epiphanies was his name his title he said and y'all all been sitting to listen to these prophecy teachers that there's coming a man that's going to set himself up in the temple he already came what kind of teachers y'all listening to you but your carnal Minds he's already set himself up in the (1:16:32) temple and proclaimed himself to be epiphanies God and then he took the pig killed the pig splattered the blood all over the Temple of Yahweh he'll always bring pigs into the church he'll have you eaten pigs too I got a question for those that don't believe in what I teach on clean and unclean food are you the Temple of Yahweh are you the temple of God whatever makes you think he couldn't we wouldn't allow a pig in the second temple or the first temple but he only left one and the third foreign [Applause] free temples (1:17:32) ain't gonna be a pig and none of them and if a pig gets in one it'll have to be rededicated the Feast of dedication oh hallelujah praise the Lord Hanukkah it's the cure for Hellenism hmm the saddest part of this story Elder Morgan is not Antiochus that's not the sad part the sad part is the hellenized Jews that let him walk right in and do it but they had been conditioned for 200 they were ready now 2 000 thank you sir they were ready now for the Takeover of yahweh's church they wanted to be hellenized sister Justina they were tired of (1:18:23) explaining to people why they go to church on Friday nights they were tired on Facebook having to answer that I'm like you know what but I got tired if y'all think y'all tired I've been doing it nine years but they weren't they were tired of their family mocking them so they were about ready to just give in and be good Christmas Christians they were getting tired Antichrist always comes when you've about read when you're just tired you're ready to give up they wanted to give up Torah more tolerant and more accepting let's (1:19:20) blend in the day you become tolerant is the day you become toast it's the day you no longer have a difference foreign history says they were trying to uncircumcise themselves yeah they were trying to uncircumcise themselves they were tired of looking different I'm gonna tell you something those of you that's part of the remnant men and women you know I Don't Preach a clothesline message but I'll tell you what I do preach you better learn how to dress like the house of Israel how to present yourself in holiness because your body and your clothes and (1:20:11) your everything is speaking your identity anywhere you go you represent a different order we're a different people now when they tried to uncircumcise themselves do you know what that was the great Falling Away the great falling away already happened two thousand years ago they were falling away they the what the first step in Falling Away they lost respect for legitimate Authority and they didn't care he was gone onias is gone nobody even cares no value no big deal to murder the man of God oh y'all cut his throat we'll find another (1:21:13) preacher exactly no big deal on the holy Lifestyles no big deal y'all I'm sorry I know I'm putting some of you I'm sorry but I've got to get this message to you tonight I believe it's one of the most important messages you'll ever hear how to celebrate Hanukkah nothing was a big deal until they were unrecognizable every one of you need fences in your lives let me tell all of you something I grew up in a church many of you didn't have the privilege to grow up in elders that built fences for the church they may not even had a Bible verse to (1:22:14) back it up but they had some wisdom from living for God a long time and that wisdom told them if you move the fence you'll have to move it again then you'll move it again and then you'll move it again until there's no fence left to the enemy so close to you he gets right over that fence listen to me carefully man and woman of God set your fences say this is my line I'll never healed on this line I'll never give on this line this is where you stop this is where I stop set your fences you don't even need to have to explain (1:23:11) it to nobody if God told you that's where your fence is said it if somebody says show it to me in the Bible say I'm a walking Bible he talks to me every day [Applause] thank you I may not can show you no Bible that you ain't supposed to be you know gambling or whatever but I tell you what I can do I can show you Life After Life After Life After Life that that didn't set their standard and they've turned into jokes today find the pastor that'll set a standard for the church and listen to me if you don't trust your pastor (1:24:03) to set a standard you in the wrong Church this assembly we're going to set a standard because we got to keep the devil out and if I don't have a scripture to back it up I've got a lifetime of serving the lord to see what standards will do for you when you give in in one area you're given in another they were tired of fighting for holiness it's listen holiness is hard until it ain't hard no more Holiness is hard as long as you're fighting it but the minute you let it in it ain't hard no more my grandmother always told me if you (1:25:03) live for God easy it's hard but if you live for God hard it's easy amen now the story is about to change and we're coming to a close in a few moments now the story is about to change ladies and gentlemen now we're going to leave Jerusalem we're going to leave the big city and we're going to go to a little village about a hundred miles away from Jerusalem and when we get there we're going to find a little country preacher in a little small town little State called Modine there was a preacher there who held on to the apostolic faith (1:26:00) he didn't care that Menelaus was the high priest in the temple he was a priest of The Zeta kite line he lived in no Dean and one day while he's at his little church his little shed with a steeple a soldier knocked on the door from Menelaus from Christianity from Rome from headquarters of the denomination stay with me now and that Soldier said to him middle layers is the new high priest and Antiochus is the new ruler and he's commanding you to slay a pig in this little church to the Greek gods this little country preacher (1:26:58) he didn't like that too much he said you can take your pig and go make your support chops with it because in this church we'll never ever sacrifice to a false god ever never but here's what happened Elder homeridge while this man by the name of Matthias his name was matathias this is in 167 BC matathias told the soldier the man from the headquarters of the denomination he said we're not doing it sucker but there was another preacher in matathiasis church that was standing there I know y'all getting tired I'm so sorry (1:28:01) okay I'm I'm almost done and that preacher he looked at the soldier and then he looked at matathias that was holding the line matathias was holding the line and that other preacher said give me the pig he told the Romans God the Greek Soul give me the pig I'll sacrifice the pain I'll compromise truth in this church I'll disregard the leadership and I'll do this so he grabs the pig from the the boy from the church at the headquarters menelaus's Church this man came from Middle lake and Elias was set in a new church order (1:28:59) and when matathias saw that compromise and preacher he pulled out his sword rammed it through that preacher's gut pulled it out of his gut and rammed it through the soldier that came from headquarters and said before I'll spill a pig's blood I'll spill a Pagan's blood in the house of Yahweh [Music] I come to teach you about Hanukkah tonight because all this is leading you to Hanukkah the other priests thought it was no big deal just kill the pig get along with Christianity is anybody gonna help me now let's just get over it get to quit (1:29:57) trying to be something different you know how many times I hear that brother Lutz quit trying to be special extra baby I am extra I was born to be extra amen I'm fighting for extra he said just by God just just put up the tree preacher get along with Menelaus get along with Rome get along with Christianity well ladies and gentlemen he killed them both the name was matathias Maccabees was his last name we get into hanukkah's where we're going [Applause] I'm going to show you why you celebrate Hanukkah Hallelujah matathias pulled his knife and killed (1:31:01) the spirit of antichrist in yahweh's church now he had five Sons that's the number of Grace five wise virgins he had five Sons so hang tight now now remember that in the morning when I talk about them five Sons immediately what did he and his sons have to do they had to run to the mountains they had to go into isolation the minute you ever draw your sword on paganism you'll be forced into isolation I wished I had somebody that heard what I just said the minute you kill that pig and that paganism you will be forced into (1:31:59) isolation why because of what's going to happen in isolation the Hemet is five boys ran into the mountains running from Himalayas running from Antiochus the spirit of antichrist they're trying to be separate from the world and then all of a sudden a few more little people that was part of the remnant went up in their mountains with them hallelujah oh yeah if you ever stand for truth there's somebody else out there that will stand with you and that will go with you they'll come from Texas they'll come from Florida they'll come from (1:32:45) everywhere to go into those mountains with you they're just wait don't matter fires to draw the sword they're just waiting to find a real prophet of God a real Zeta kite priest when they find it the following did you hear me when they find him they'll follow him when they find it they'll follow him and matathias went in there with those five boys and here came the remnant one by one they heard through the grapevine there's a preacher standing for truth there's a preacher that held on to the Sabbath there's a preacher that held on the holy (1:33:30) days there's a preacher that held on God there's a preacher that held on to Hero Israel the Lord our God is what there's somebody that's hidden out there in the mountains I want to know where he's at now come from Atlanta Georgia what they do it my God from Zion y'all thought I was gonna teach all night oh no we're about to the preaching Point Hallelujah he said they began to follow him up in those mountains oh I'm almost done y'all hang tight it wasn't long after that matathias was old his son took his place his name was (1:34:15) Judah Judah maccabias do you know what the word Judas maccabias means the hammer our todo's done a few shows on President Trump being the hammer of God do you listen to me and listen well when God's getting ready to destroy the swamp when he's getting ready to destroy paganism he always finds a hammer he always finds an unbending unyielding unafraid Hammer that'll drop a nail in a sure place thank you when a man don't yield the people will follow him when a man stands no matter what he's fighting the people will follow as long (1:35:11) as he's the hammer of Yahweh you listen to me the Hammers of God are few and far between when you find a hammer you put a hold on it you grab hold of it and hit hit and fight with it few more people begin to follow the hammer word begin to spread up in the mountains God's got a little man who's a hammer he don't have no large following he ain't got no big church he's out there just a little shed and a steeple oh Hallelujah he's just out there saying hold on the truth but if you I'm telling you but it's all right he didn't even (1:36:01) listen listen listen listen listen listen listen listen listen listen listen he didn't even send out no advertisements where he was somebody was just scrolling through YouTube and he popped up you listen to me you listen to me God will bring you with his hammer so you can find so you can't fight the good fight of faith yeah I didn't look for y'all y'all didn't look for me God just said he's up in them Woods right there across that Mississippi line and I'm not the only one there's many more but when you find a hammer (1:36:49) grab hold of it they was up there for two years in their mountains the world thought they was hiding but really they was training for raining at school and Peru it's all they were doing ain't nobody helping me now oh they wasn't hiding they was training for raining because Hanukkah was about to happen happy Hanukkah Hanukkah was about to happen oh Hallelujah the Antichrist Spirit didn't know that out there in the middle of nowhere Yahweh was raised and up a little silent Army it wasn't large but it was about to Dethrone the Antichrist (1:37:42) from God's church it was about my God from Zion wished I had help in here Hallelujah thank you whoo their numbers grew to a whopping 600 people that's about how many we have in Bible study every Saturday morning [Applause] that little army grew to about 600 people and then apollonis came out Menelaus sent an army to shut them down oh yeah Menelaus sent an army he sent a soldier by the name of apollonis and that Soldier had 2 000 soldiers from the headquarters Church they came out there after the hammer they were defeated quickly (1:38:45) they were defeated and then the hammer went and took the sword of the soldier and raised it up before that little army and said here's how you know I've been blessed by Yahweh because every time the enemy tries to attack I never get defeated that's how you know the blessings of God is on a Ministry when it's on a sanctuary when it's on a movement every Soldier every sword every weapon does not prosper [Music] Hallelujah they came after the 2 000 lies two thousand lies two thousand soldiers and he took their sword and said you missed (1:39:34) again when you're under the Divine anointing of the almighty Yahweh they can camp out they can move in they can rent they can leash but they want nothing ever ever claimed that sword okay [Music] you know why because this is the Lord's doings and it's marvelous in our eyes we had nothing to do with it matathias had nothing to do with that moment of Destiny he answered the call and the call answered him [Music] nobody scares me not because I have any strength but because I have none do you hear me it's because I have no strength (1:40:27) I have no plans I have no power I'm just walking in my calling and what God's called me to do whoo Hallelujah my poor little wife came in my office yesterday [Music] and for the first time in a long time I was being attacked not only on the mainstream media and Newsweek and everywhere else but even in the church and it was overwhelming to me yesterday and I was just I am human and my poor wife I just began to jump all over and crawl her because there was no one else for me to crawl there was nowhere else for me to (1:41:15) go with that I lost it and of course I had to call her and beg her forgiveness because I'm human and this battle I'm fighting I can't fight it my strength comes from the Lord and from My Wife and from you that have traveled here this weekend to say Pastor we've got your hands keep hammering away thank you all for being here hallelujah thank you Father [Applause] Hallelujah y'all don't know what the pastor's wife goes through you don't know what the pastor's wife goes through she has to see the weak man the one that don't have it all together (1:42:09) the one that don't have she said I thought you said they didn't bother you and I'm like they don't he said I thought you had a backbone up still not right now I don't fix my camera brother they looking at the ceiling Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah when they say I'm in my backyard worshiping Zeus you you don't know how to answer them yet you don't know whether to stay silent yet and then the Lord told me about matter of facts he said how many times were they in those mountains probably scared to death for their lives (1:43:08) I don't fight this battle because I'm not scared I fight it because I trust in the Lord it's okay to get scared sometimes that might be a good thing actually because you'll keep your trust in the Lord hallelujah hallelujah I had a sister called me yesterday that it fought against the ministry publicly on Facebook bought us said things that were just not true and I knew they weren't the truth sets you free and this sister called me yesterday morning [Music] repenting or having gotten caught up in that way up she said I don't know (1:43:58) what happened to me pastor begging forgiveness and it was it was granted when she done it but it's as if it never happened now because listen folks it is not people fighting this work when the when the Maccabees went into those mountains it was not them fighting against the Greeks now it was the faithful Jews fighting against the non-faithful Jews it was literally the church fighting against the non-church that said they were the church after that attack didn't work here come another Army called The Battle of Beth 4 000 soldiers (1:44:49) these 600 men destroyed them all I don't care what they throw at you when you're anointed by God it'll never stick and then there was another battle at Emmaus ten thousand men against 600. destroy by the hammer and then when none of those armies would work here was what Menelaus did he sent word to mattify us meet me and let's negotiate and they met him and not a thighs met this is all in your history books and they know they were negotiating and he asked matathias what are your terms to quit the war (1:45:54) against what's happening at the temple malachias told him there is no negotiation except for the total Destruction of paganism in the temple of Yahweh [Applause] none restore the daily sacrifice restore the menorah restore the Sabbath nothing else will we come back to that church for we will not join in with you there's no negotiation and ladies and gentlemen at that moment father Anointed The Hammer and said go now take my temple back and here was Judas Maccabees the hammer which 600 measly worn out Remnant soldiers (1:47:02) they walked up to Jerusalem I know the hours late they walked up to Jerusalem and there was yahweh's Temple desecrated Pig's blood they destroyed they went in the temple the first thing they destroyed the altar of Seuss The Hammer took a hammer and destroyed he was restoring God's Church he'd been out there but 600 men a little congregation training for this Millennial Reign training for this hour of restoration after they destroyed the altar of Zeus then they cleaned up the pig's blood when the real Hammer comes they'll clean (1:47:48) up everything that was done wrong in the past and then they fought not against the Greeks but for eight days they fought against their own countrymen that had been hellenized trying to hold on to that religion of compromise when they went in someone read for me Exodus 27 and 20. listen carefully and thou shalt command the children of Israel that they bring the pure oh let me read that over and thou shalt command the children of Israel that they bring the pure oil olive beaten for the life to cause the lamb to burn always how long (1:48:41) was the menorah supposed to burn always never was it supposed to go out they walk in the church the Commandments said never let the menorah go out but they walk in sister Pat and the menorah is out while they were still having Church in there the menorah was out the Commandments broken while they're still having church with Pastor Menelaus and the first thing they did they said Hold On wait for me first Samuel 3 and 3. (1:49:20) hold on the light has gone out of the church read and air the lamp of Yahweh went out in the temple of the Lord where the Ark of God was and Samuel was laid down to sleep Samuel said the the LIE has gone out of the church Thy word is a lamp thy Torah is the light it's God Pastor Menelaus where's the light I want you to hear me carefully as soon as the hammer comes into the church for the hour of restoration the first thing he'll begin to restore is the light he'll ah shut up you'll begin to restore the Commandments the Torah that's the first thing they (1:50:21) wanted to restore but what was stopping them what was stopping them is this when they went to restore the menorah it was the Jewish people that fought them hand-to-hand combat to keep hold of a compromised Church a church that was backslidden a church that was a church in name only and they were determined you were not going to put them back in legalism you weren't gonna drag them back to the law come on somebody you didn't hear what I just said hey [Music] they were determined you're not gonna bring us back to bondage (1:51:13) with the man of Yahweh came here they didn't see it as restoring the light they saw it as legalism trying to drag you back to the light hallelujah hallelujah it was not Antiochus that was in their fighting them it was the ones that had led Antiochus in the temple and persuaded them to let go of polite [Applause] he comes to the menorah this is why every one of you's got a manure in your house this week for eight days he come to the menorah and they said oh God somebody we have a Commandment that they can't go (1:52:17) out ever let's relax somebody can get it lit because we finna restore this church yeah by the Light of the menorah is out their Easter eggs are in the corner of the church over there they're Christmas trees are over there is the light is out you don't believe it you go to any Christian Church you won't find a menorah you'll find an Easter rabbit you'll

Summary

Hanukkah, the Cure for Hellenism traces what Vaughn presents as the historical progression from Alexander the Great's Hellenization of the ancient world through Antiochus Epiphanes and the Maccabean revolt. His central concern is assimilation: Yahweh's people, he argues, gradually exchanged their distinctive language, worship, practices, and identity for acceptance within Greek culture. Pastor Shane Vaughn Teaches LIV… Pastor Shane Vaughn Teaches LIV… He then applies that history typologically to Christianity, arguing that a similar process caused believers to abandon what he considers the original apostolic-Israelite faith. Hanukkah consequently becomes, in his teaching, a celebration of reversing that process—removing paganism, restoring Torah and Sabbath observance, and rededicating the spiritual Temple. These correspondences are the speaker's theological construction. Pastor Shane Vaughn Teaches LIV… Pastor Shane Vaughn Teaches LIV… The message culminates with the restoration of the menorah. Vaughn reads Exodus 27:20, which commands pure olive oil so the lamp may burn continually, followed by 1 Samuel 3:3 and the lamp/word imagery associated with Psalm 119:105. He interprets the menorah's light as restored divine truth and closes by charging his audience to become “light bearers” who refuse to allow that light to go out again.

Core doctrine

Exodus 27:20 - Vaughn teaches that the command for Israel to provide pure olive oil so that the sanctuary lamp burns continually provides the central spiritual image of Hanukkah: Hellenization extinguishes the "Light" by replacing torah, sabbath, holy days, and Israelite distinctiveness with pagan or foreign religious culture, while Hanukkah symbolizes the cleansing and rededication of the temple and the restoration of that light. His application of the Maccabean/Hanukkah story as a prophetic model for an end-time restoration of the church is the speaker's theological interpretation, not an explicit claim of Exodus 27:20.
