Shane Vaughn Preaches "No More Pigs On The Altar" an explanation of Hanukkah - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElVqsCuqhmQ Transcript: (00:01) and it was at Jerusalem the Feast of dedication and it was Winter next and Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch then came the Jews round about him and said unto him how long will you cause us to wonder or doubt if thou be Christ tell us plainly now let's talk about a message that God gave me early this morning and I want to title this message no more pigs on the [Music] altar no more pigs on the altar now this scripture I've read it all my life and I never un stood it until the Lord be to reveal it to us now go back to verse 22 my friend and (01:07) let's see where Jesus was now please let me say this so there's no confusion today I'm not only preaching in this building but we'll addir these videos to many people that call Jesus by his Hebrew name yua so if you hear me say that don't let it confuse you and I'm simply speaking to another audience out there that knows him by that name and so just let there be no confusion amen so here stands Jesus and where is he at somebody tell me where he's at and then verse 22 he says what's going on in Jerusalem what what's the name what's (01:55) going on what's he there for the Feast of what dedication now why was Jesus at the temple for the Feast of dedication now this is not one of the Seven Feast of Israel that some of us celebrate this is not Passover it's not Tabernacles it's not Pentecost it's something called the Feast of dedication but yet it's not one of the commanded feasts so what is Jesus yua doing in Jerusalem and the temple for the Feast of dedication why would he be celebrating this event at the temple temp do you know I read that all my life (02:47) and I couldn't have told you after going to Bible school I couldn't have told you what the Feast of dedication was brothers and sisters it's Hanukah now yua our lord Jesus was celebrating Hanukkah now many of you know that sister Von and I celebrate Hanukkah every year and many don't understand why I come to preach to you today no more pigs on the Altar and I want to show you that our Lord himself came to Jerusalem for the eight days of Hanukkah but why why was he there and why would we care about it I always thought (03:39) brothers and sisters that Hanukkah never knew about Hanukkah uh and many people think that I'm crazy because we celebrate it I know I hear through the Great Vine it's okay I might be a little crazy but uh when you come to know truth it'll either you know what's so funny the closer you get the truth the more people think you're crazy ask Albert Einstein but when you see the truth of this matter you understand I thought that Hanukkah was the Jewish Christmas right I thought it was their form of Christmas and that you know it (04:20) happens in the winter uh they have lights up and so I said well they don't believe Jesus was born as the Messiah so they just that's a Jewish Christmas well I couldn't have been further from the truth I believe today when you hear what's happening this week we are in the middle of the eight days of Hanukkah started December the 12th goes through the 20th of this month for8 days now brother Bon we don't care about that we don't celebrate Hanukkah you're going to care about it when you realize what it's about and why your (04:58) Messiah he celebrated Hanukkah here's your Bible proof he was at the temple for the Feast of dedication because the word Hanukkah means the Feast of dedication so your lord celebrated now I know the Christian Church don't but the Christian Lord celebrated this is Bible proof that our Lord understood the meaning of this event now the reason many of us have never celebrated we don't understand what it means but after today you will at least glorify God for what happened during the Feast of dedication let me say it this way it (05:43) is really the celebration of light that's why in our home right now if you drive by you'll see lights for these eight days all over our home blue lights because blue represents the Law of God that's why cop cars have blue lights the law blue is y is God's favorite color because it represents what he loves more than anything his law why do you think that in the temple he told them to Adorn it the sky of the temple with blue that's because his law overshadows everything thing why was David a man after God's Own Heart what did he meditate on day and (06:42) night thy law have I meditated on I think about your law day and night the modern Church thinks about his law none they've been taught and done away with but David was a man after God own heart because when he broke the law of God he repented immediately rather than thinking Grace covered it all come going preach anyway amen until you fall in love with the color [Music] blue the law of God you are not in love with God himself do you know the United States of America sister we have more laws on the book than any nation in the world and (07:34) yet we are the freest people in the world it's not the law don't put you in bondage the law keeps you free my God that's right amen if you don't believe it obey the law and see if you won't have freedom all your life that's right click it and see if you'll never get a ticket the law keeps you out of jail breaking the law put you in there but yet today's church has been taught that God has no more law it's been done away with that we're saved by grace and there's no more law if that's the case there's no need for Grace that's (08:28) right think about it why would would you need Grace if God no longer has a law what would you need Grace to help you with right now I realize this don't get no amen shouting and screaming gets amens in our kind of churches but I'm trying to help you get to an understanding you better fall in love with the law of God why it is only when you know that he still requires Holiness it's only when you know that in your heart can you truly be free free that's right that's brother V I'm not under the law you're absolutely right as long as (09:07) you're not breaking it you ever heard the old saying I'm under the weather well you're not under the weather until you Su comeb to the weather you're not under the law until you break it and then you come under its dictates and its demands as long as you're walking in the spirit as long as you're walking in the spirit and not after the flesh then there's no condemnation for you amen but we've misquoted that scripture so many years brother V you can't there no condemnation for me I'm shacked up jacked up Ling every minute of no (09:55) condemnation I'm in Christ Jesus that you're in a delusion that's right you're in a delusion while you're in Christ listen to what the Bible said there is therefore now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh that's right that's the only way that scripture applies to you what is the flesh the enemy against God yes oh brother V I'm not God's enemy really let's break it down further if you're the enemy of the law of God you're the enemy of the god of the law right amen come on see many of you in this (10:44) room you're allowing him to be your savior but not your lord you see you don't mind him saving you but he don't have no business in your life he don't have no business telling you what you can or cannot do you are a repr come on yes right that's right until you fall in love with please let me show Holy Ghost help me now I know where I'm at and I got to be careful but listen to me right now listen very carefully I want to tell you something you are a baby in Christ that's right whenever your entire purpose oh Lord it come (11:23) on is going to heaven and avoiding hell I see it oh yeah brother I'm living for the Lord cuz I don't want to go to hell you're still a baby it's time to grow up I'm living with the Lord cuz I want to make Heaven my home you're still a baby it's time to grow up that's right here's the right answer I'm living for the Lord if there was no heaven and if there was no hell I'm leaving I'm living to please the Lord then you grown up a little bit higher It Ain't About Heaven hell it's about pleasing the heart of our father it's children it's babies that (12:08) want what Mama and Daddy can give them but it's grown adult that want to make Mama and Daddy proud it's babies that won't tend him they want you it's baby Christians want Heaven don't want to go to hell that's why they don't believe in Holiness because if they're saved they going to heaven that's right see the whole thing is messed up am you ever heard of the word sanctification remember the old church the testimony service sister Sally would say what I'm glad to be saved but not just saved thank God Sanctified and filled with the Holy (12:49) Ghost and Fire see baby until you tired of being saved and you're ready to get Sanctified you're still a baby in God's Church that's right and God's people are stuck in the nursery we want somebody to tell us about heaven let me tell you about Holiness have you heard of it lately let me tell you about what the father is looking for he's looking for separated I separated I separated people from the [Music] world I feel the Holy Ghost amallah the first thing that God ever commanded in the Bible are you ready the first commandment in the word of God (13:32) is Not That th shall not kill the first thing God said in Genesis 1 every seed must reproduce after its own kind he said don't mix this seed that's right with that seed don't missx a donkey with a horse or you'll get a mule and what is a mule a mule is a dead animal walking do you know a cannot have baby mules did you know that do you know mules can't have babies amen I didn't know that but when I learned why they can't have babies sister Patty it's because they're dead while they're living there's no Original Seed in them they're (14:19) a mixture between a horse and a donkey and God hates mixture he sends death to anything that mixes [Music] amen that's why I told his people in the Old Testament not to wear cotton with linen why God loves Spirit he loves Holiness he loves separation from the world and if you think you're going to call yourself being in the church while being like the world he will send death and destruction to you every single time he wasn't playing when he said come out from AER he was Pray when he said be shepher that's right now what does that have to do with (15:06) Hanukkah we getting there Hallelujah Hanukah is the celebration of light it was for the rededication of God's church after it had been infiltrated by paganism oh yes let me give you the story in 167 before Christ came almost 200 years before our Lord I'm fix to show you why he was at the temple for Hanukkah he wasn't there for no other holiday but he was there for Hanukkah because in 167 King Antiochus ordered that the Temple of Yahweh that's the almighty Jehovah don't freak out on me it's amazing how we got so Yahweh it (15:59) was the Temple of the say Jehovah so everybody be comfortable it was his Temple and it was the most sacred spot on earth and it was there that the presence of the almighty resided amen now stay with me and there's one thing God cannot do he cannot mix the clean with the unclean that's right he won't do it for you your mama or nobody right his Temple was clean they purified it Moses did in Blood and water which is baptism you've been purified with water and blood shed apart that spot in Jerusalem today that the nations are (16:49) fighting over it's God's spot he dedicated that piece of land and said it's holy don't touch it don't pollute it don't do anything Pagan in it don't Worship in it the way the other churches worship I'm going to teach you how to worship me you're going to do it my way not burer King way your way you're going to do it my way and all of Israel love the temple but King Antiochus the Pagan King hated the temple of God what why the same reason your neighbors hate you when you walk in a room oh they act like they love you but there's something about you (17:37) that convicts them of sin and they really wish you would just sort of leave the room and been to a party they couldn't wait for you to leave went to your Christmas party at work and you know everybody's glad you're there but they sort of wish you'd go ahead and Scoot on why something about you you stand for something and this world don't stand for nothing you stand for something so here comes King Antiochus and here's what he does he rides into Jerusalem and he didn't tear down the temple no the first thing he did please (18:21) stay with me you're going to miss this the first thing he did was he went in the temple to where the manora stood and he told them Yahweh had commanded Moses that this light was to never go out of the temple I'll show you an exodus where God told Moses how to build this he told him to Overlay it with gold he told him to put it in the temple and to make sure that the light never 24/7 ever went out of the Temple that's right when King Antiochus came into the temple what did he send his emissaries to do to blow out the (19:08) lights they threw down the manora and so sad Christians don't know what this means this represents the light of almighty God and they tore it down that's right and then they came to the altar where animals were sacrificed to Yahweh the almighty god Jehovah and then what did antias do he went outside the temple and brought pigs that God hated and put pigs on the altar in Jerusalem and fed God's people pig that's right he did now oh brother V that can never happen it happens every day in your temple trust me every day things that God says (20:04) don't belong there I'm not come on I'm not trying to teach you how to eat I'm talking about something deeper than that I'm talking about pigs that you can't even see with the eye I'm talking about unclean Spirit I'm talking about unclean Lifestyles I'm talking about unclean unclean words unclean imaginations un clean that's right Lord and he ought to move these Pig on the Altar and he went before the almighty God and built that altar to Zeus and burn pigs in the altar well that lasted for 2 years and then in Jerusalem there was (20:45) one family by the name of macabe and that one family got tired of paganism in God's holy church and that one family that the name of mcabe they got together with a handful of men and said we're going to restore truth to the Church of the Living God Amen and we're going to drive out every witch and every Pagan Pig eater and everything that is violated God's Church we're going to drive him out how how can you do it there's a handful of you against King antiochus's Army oh but I think they might have remembered David and Goliath in the back (21:29) of their mind I think they might have remember Gideon's little army of 300 men and something rose up in them I'm telling you what really happened this ain't a story this is history yes go read Google is all you got to do and whenever those families came together and prayed God told them take my church back they went down to the temple with less than 200 of their family members don't tell me God can't change a nation with one message and one man this little 200 people went down to the temple and they begin to fight against paganism in (22:13) God's church and here's what happened the first thing they did when they went in they went and picked up the manora and they shed it back up and they lit it to be a light now when they lit the manora they looked ins Shide and all the oil had fallen out of the manora do you know what makes a light burn it's oil that's why those virgins had no oil in their what their manora this was the lamp there was no oil in these churches and so here they lift they poured it full of oil and they lift that light but when they looked (22:53) inside there was only enough oil for one night for it to burn but the war with the King lasted 8 days and somehow supernaturally that one night of oil lasted for the whole War eight nights the light burned in God's church supernaturally and now our Lord himself every year went back to the Temple of a clean church for the Feast of dedication it was every year that they remembered to dedicate the temple every year they throw out paganism they remember God hated mixture God hated and they celebrated Han for a glorious nights it (23:46) was a victory over sin in the church listen to me I don't celebrate Hanukkah to be like a Jew I celebrate H to remind myself for eight nights to get the light burning to drive pigs off my altar to get rid of everything that stands between me and God years later the mccabes celebrated that event every year I want to go to Leviticus 24 and2 children Stay With Me Now I want to make a point to you and I just want to talk from my heart for a moment many people over the of you at Miracle Tabernacle you've seen us with this funny looking (24:32) thing for about 4 years now and you're like well God help brother v he's just a we that's cuz you have no idea what you're talking about if you knew what this represented you'd understand what God wants to tell us through an emblem brother V I don't believe in symbols then get that Christmas tree out your house you don't believe in simples then get that cross off your neck right I don't believe in s yes you do get that ring off your finger don't talk about I don't believe in all those symbol if you knew what the symbol (25:12) represented you would believe in it talk about I don't believe in symbols what's that tree represent for you in your house never mind anyway my point is you do believe in symbols just get the right ones yeah get the ones that have a real meaning behind them why do we blow the Chau far do you know I know that ain't nothing but a Ram's Horn I know that but when I blow it it's the sound of the seven trumpet to me in my heart is what the coming of the Lord is going to sound like now when you see things in your life that are (25:51) pagan okay somebody asked me yesterday what is paganism I'm going to make it how many of you really want to know what is paganism all right you think you know but here's what it is it's really the same as witchcraft brothers and sisters witches love God oh yes there's one in this table she's a friend of mine actually and she'll tell you right now that she loves God she loves the goddess and the God loves them all but she is a worshiper of creation more than Creator what I mean by that witches Place their faith in (26:40) creation more than the Creator but yet they believe in God but here's one thing they will not do they will not obey God pagans all believe in God but they will not obey God they can't they don't believe he knows what he's talking about they don't believe he has any Authority in their life they believe they're their own Gods but he created them they don't deny that but when you say you love God but refuse to keep his Commandments the Bible said you are a [Music] liar learn to love God the right way if God said to put a dot on top of every (27:34) eye do it why it proves your heart some people might think you're extreme but you know what it pleasing God matters more to you than people's opinion they will always think you're strange I want my testimony to be sister for he wasn't perfect but he pleased the Lord let that be your testimony today get the pigs off your altar if there's anything that you believe would please the Lord just do it do you know the most dangerous question you can ever ask somebody well is that a Hell or Heaven issue who cares if it pleases the Lord just do it (28:27) that's right I wish somebody heard understood what I'm preaching if it pleases the Lord forgive hell well if I'm going go to hell for doing I'm going to do it then baby you already in hell cuz you just told on yourself you just want something out of this you don't want to give nothing that's right I'm talking now I'm talking now do you know if the only reason you're serving the lord is to go to heaven you are of all men most selfish that's right but if you want to serve him to please him then it doesn't matter if he told (29:05) you to wear green socks all over town you would wear every Green sock you could find why it shows that you're in love with him the Bible said by this we would know that we were his disciples when we keep his Commandments when we obey listen hanuk is the celebration of light but what is the light Thy word is true Thy word is light when we celebrate the light we're celebrating truth let's read what it said in Leviticus command the children of Israel that they bring to thee pure olive oil beaten for the light to cause the lamps (29:45) to burn cont this is what he said was the manora this was the lampstand he wanted it to burn continuously the next verse quickly brother verse three Hallelujah when we learn to love God our life will be so much better without the veil of the testimony in the Tabernacle of the congregation shall Aaron order it from evening to morning now that ought to tell you when a new day starts in the evening from the evening to the morning he wants it to burn before the Lord how long Contin and what's the first thing Antioch has turned off the light (30:29) listen to me the Reason God wants a light burning in his church because the light is true it leads men to truth and Satan hates truth he loves church but hates truth oh Satan loves church oh it keeps people to see they can feel the rain of the Lord and they think they're all right living in sin don't you know that the Bible said that the rain falls on the what the just and the what yeah that means a sinner and a saint can feel the same presence of God did you know [Music] that imagine with me a field that's got (31:09) wheat and barley in it that rain falls on the uh I'm sorry all tatters wheat and T that rain falls on the tatter just like it does the wheat yeah don't be deceived by the presence because let me tell you something I know choir leaders and worship leaders living in homosexuality don't mean nothing they can feel the presence of God all day long let me tell you something the presence will deceive you why because if you don't know truth you'll mistake the presence as his approval brother I went to church and I felt God are you keeping his (31:51) Commandments then what you felt what the presence it'll do you no good until you get the light inside of your temple until the light of truth becomes your emblem until you want truth more than you want Power that's right oh wow oh wow witches want Power baby they want to be able to catch the spell and make you fall in love with them they want to be able to change your situation they want to have power most people pray looking for power not looking for presence and truth that's right oh wow come on oh wow witches in God's church here they are (32:32) Lord I need you to do this and when he don't do it they're mad at him for 3 years quit church that's witches there's witches sitting in this church witches sitting in the church across the street why they're in it for what they can get yeah they got pigs on the altar I've had them in my life listen to me until the flame is restored in your life what flame that flame that reveals every sin in your life that's right I'm not hurting nobody if that a what I said are you hurting God I was surprised when I've been (33:10) preaching for 30 years and I still couldn't couldn't quote The Ten Commandments why I've been told that they've been done away with listen to me there's two Commandments love the Lord your God with all your heart and then love your neighbor as much as you love yourself see brother V God did away with the 10 he replaced it with those two that's not what he said he said upon on these two hang all the Commandments why the first four of the Ten Commandments teach you how to love God with all your heart the last six (33:45) teach you how to love your neighbor as much as you love yourself why because God wants more than if I can just heal the sick do you know the greatest sickness you'll ever heal is rebellion in your life against God yes yes yes there's a sickness called sin commandment breaking there's a sickness called Rebellion yes you want real power allow the altar to burn those pigs out of your life allow the light to burn and illuminate do you know brother V I feel good about this in my heart someone told me they was fixing to get married to to (34:28) a sinner and they had prayed and they felt good about it in their heart and you know the scripture that came to my mind the heart is desperately wicked who can trust it don't trust your heart I hear the world all the way say all the time how does it feel in your heart no no no here's the proper response what does the word of God say yes that's right what does the light say that's right oh I just feel good about it you feel good about robbing God of your ties too don't you come on tell wow I'm sorry y'all know how I preach (35:09) I'm so sorry I grew up in an old school where we told straight didn't care who it hurt or who it helped it was what it was amen and that's just the grain I came from listen if I came to make friends I'd have lost them a long time ago but I did come to please the Lord today to be able to tell him when I go home I told them the truth you can't love sin and love God get it out of your life H let that light burn for those eight nights while to remind you of those pigs on your altar brother M I don't have no pigs (35:50) that's your first one right there pride get it out of your life Pride will destroy you that's right Pride tells you you're all right with God that's right if there's anybody in here that feels like you're all right with God you're already doed I hope you heard what I just said Amen brother I feel like I'm right with God that's your first deception you're not right with God unless you're right with him every second of every day and every day of every year you're not right with him until the altar becomes your (36:27) home where a light can shine that bad attitude out of you learn to get pigs off your altar yes Hallelujah I must hurry now let's go to Pro John chapter let's go to Exodus now let's just go to John 3 and9 through 21 do you know why do you know why pagans hate our preaching do you know why the world hates do you know why they love Zig Zigler motivational speakers and life coaches I'm going to tell everybody watching me around the world I ain't no life coach I'm a preacher come on Amen I ain't nobody's Mentor I'm a preacher of (37:09) the word of God and you ain't going to like it 99% of the time but if you'll listen to it it my God it will set you free from yourself listen to me do you know why the church want a motivational speaker because they don't want the light of Truth right tell me that God loves me but don't tell me how to love God that's right am that's right good pre that's good tell me that he's forgiven me of all my sins wrong go read the verse again what Paul said he's forgiven you of sins that have passed that's right but here's what Paul said if you (37:54) sin after coming to the knowledge of the truth oh wow what did Paul say there remaineth no more sacrifice for your sin why willful Rebellion against Yahweh against God will for Rebellion is worse than witchcraft amen and you're deceived when you don't think you're in Rebellion to God every person in this room has been in Rebellion to God myself included [Music] when you talk about one of God's children you talked about God [Music] himself listen to me carefully there's a light that wants to burn sister Sandra in your life today it's not a fun light (38:41) it's not a little Comfort romantic light it's a blazing fire and sister Ford when it gets through burning in your life you'll be calling people all day begging for forgiveness amen we've got to please the Lord if we're going to be in his government yes my God my God my God and this is the condemnation oh you ever heard somebody say oh you're condeming me right no it's not you condemning them here's what it said this is the condemnation that the world builds that life walked in the room are you with me yes sir this is the (39:28) condemnation that they feel that light is coming to the world but men love Darkness rather than truth because their deeds are evil that's why they don't want you to preach to them have you ever heard somebody say Don't Preach to me that's a walking devil

thank the Lord for his presence here today as we celebrate this fifth day of Hanukkah we celebrate the light of (48:35) Truth brothers and sisters did you know there's going to be 30 minutes of silence in heaven do you know why do you know why because all those Believers that was only interested in being saved instead of Sanctified all up for him and wonder why did I get it all love for him the Bible said that on that day some will be given 30 fold 60 fold and hundredfold that 30 minutes of silence will be when the 30-fold sees what the hundredfold receed and all they had to do was just give up the pigs off their altar God will only have a clean Temple (49:25) yes an obedient Temple I feel the presence of the she of the almighty yeh the Creator I feel his presence in this house today

hallelujah hallelujah the fire of God is missing from the church we've got worship people that's learned how to lift their hands but God said in vain do you worship me why because you didn't do it (50:05) my way amen hallelujah oh yes but the path of the just Proverbs 4:18 the path of the just is as The Shining Light yes that shineth more and more unto the perfect day or until the perfect day yes you know many times I've wondered why God in these last days is revealing more and more and more to his people why did he reveal some of these things to my grandmother and some of the but you see here's your scripture the light is shining what more and more yes until the perfect day comes amen amen the perfect day is coming (50:51) children but until then he's shining more and more upon our path let's go and uh let's read acts 18:24 through 26 and I'm getting ready to close acts 182 [Music] 24-26 and a certain Jew named apollis born in Alexandria an eloquent man and listen to what it says watch carefully and mighty in the scriptures he knew the word of God now this is amazing watch this next verse this man was instructed in the way of the Lord and being fervent in the spirit he preached and taught diligently the things of the Lord knowing only the (51:39) baptism of John next verse and he began to speak boldly in the church but when Aquilla and Priscilla heard him preaching watch this they took him away from the church Church unto themselves and taught him the way of God more more what perfectly yes I don't judge any man amen that doesn't know everything the Lord has revealed to many people but I do say this you've got a responsibility when you hear somebody preaching passionately when you see somebody doing all they know to do take them aside and just teach them the way more perfectly don't (52:27) condemn the way they've already learned just teach them the more perfect way teach them how to please God more teach them the right way why that is what God wants you to do we don't condemn anybody that don't know what we might know we pull them aside and teach them the way not condemn their old way but teach them this way more perfectly right every day the light is shining more and more and more and more amen if you don't know anything more than you knew when you started that light's not shining on your path listen carefully I want to read (53:05) this last two verses John 9:25 well here's what the verse is supposed to say Jesus said as long as I'm in the world I am the light of the world that's right he is the manora as long as I'm in the world he said I'm the light but guess what ladies and gentlemen he's not in the world anymore he said as long as I'm in the world I'm the light but he said after I'm gone you are the [Music] Lord don't walk in darkness that's right he said be the light or be the truth or be the conviction against him not not hurting people putting them down just let your (53:53) life be the conviction yes yes Hallelujah just let the way you love your enemies condemn your enemies just let the way you don't say a word condemn those that are speaking against you just be the light that's right let the truth shine not only from what you say but from who you are he said as long as I'm in the world I'm the light but when I leave you're going to be the light but when I come back won't even be no need for a son cuz I'll be the light again but until then I need you to be the manora in my house amen you're the (54:36) [Music] light Hallelujah in closing Revelation 1 and [Music] 12 I want to show you a picture here we're celebrating the light today Holiness and sanctification in our life when you get to the place where you love Holiness more than happiness that's when you're pleasing God that's right God that was a mouthful when you get to the place where you love Holiness more than adness you'll please the Lord that's right and I turn to see voice that spoke with me and being turned I saw the [Music] manora now watch this carefully John was (55:21) in the spirit and he heard the voice of the Lord by behind him and he turned around and what did he see don't go back I want people that think I'm crazy for this I want him to see what what what John saw are you ready what did John see call it out seven one 2 3 4 five six seven John saw the [Music] manora amen but unlike the Jews seven churches he didn't just see the manora he saw something standing behind the manora that represent that was the Fulfillment of the manora he saw the Son of God that's right now watch this let's (56:07) go to the next verse verse 13 and in the middle in between these seven candlesticks I saw the son of man clothed with a white garment down to his foot and a gird about the path for the golden girdle next and his head and his hair was white like wool as white as snow his eyes were flame of fire and his feet was like grass they burned in the furnace and his voice is the sound of many Waters and he had in his right hand Seven Stars imagine this this is what John saw he said I saw the manora and I saw the real manora (56:56) standing behind it Hallelujah and he said I saw in his right hand Seven Stars holding those stars in his hands read and a sharp two-edged sword in his mouth and his countenance was shining like the sun the light in the manora now couldn't compare to the light that was shining from his face and it shouldn't compare to the light that's shining from your face you are the manora right now until the manora returns and puts out a light like the world has never [Music] seen and listen to what he say the next verse and when I saw him I fell at his (57:45) feet is dead you don't believe nobody's somebody said ain't nobody slain in the spirit in the Bible you what do you think that was you can't touch the presence without falling that's right right amen that's right I'll fall out in the spirit so fast I love why that means I've touched you amen what did Paul do when he saw the presence on the road to Damascus slain in the spirit why when the light shines mortal Men Must Fall right that's right watch this and and he had he laid his right hand upon me said fear not I (58:30) am the first and the seventh the last is the seventh and that's me read I am he that liveth and was dead for hold of alive forever more and the keys of hell and death write the

Summary

In No More Pigs on the Altar, Pastor Shane Vaughn explains Hanukkah through John 10:22–24, emphasizing Yeshua's presence in Jerusalem during the Feast of Dedication. He recounts the desecration of the Jerusalem temple under Antiochus and the resistance of the Maccabees. He uses these events as a spiritual illustration of the believer's responsibility to remove impurity and restore holiness. The expression “pigs on the altar” represents sinful attitudes, practices, and influences that Vaughn believes defile a believer's spiritual life. Through Leviticus 24:2–3, he connects the continually burning lamp with Yahweh's truth. Through John 3:19–21, he teaches that spiritual light exposes wrongdoing and requires repentance. Vaughn emphasizes that genuine obedience must arise from love for Yahweh and that believers should seek sanctification rather than remain satisfied with a profession of salvation alone. He uses Proverbs 4:18 and Acts 18:24–26 to encourage continuing growth in biblical understanding. He concludes his teaching with Revelation 1:12–20 and Revelation 2:5, warning that churches abandoning truth and repentance risk losing their spiritual witness. The sermon ends with an invitation for congregants to dedicate themselves to holiness through repentance, prayer, and anointing.

Core doctrine

John 10:22–24 — Pastor Shane Vaughn teaches that Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication mentioned in John's Gospel, represents the restoration of holiness, obedience, and true worship following the desecration of Yahweh's temple. He interprets the actions of Antiochus and the resistance of the Maccabees as a spiritual pattern for believers who must remove sinful practices, pagan influences, rebellion, and disobedience from their lives. Through the symbolism of the menorah and the continually burning lamp described in Leviticus 24:2–3, he teaches that Yahweh's truth must remain illuminated within believers and congregations. He argues that genuine love for Yahweh requires obedience to His commandments and that salvation must lead to sanctification, spiritual separation, and the pursuit of holiness. Through John 3:19–21, he emphasizes that divine truth exposes darkness and calls individuals to confront practices contrary to Yahweh's will. Proverbs 4:18 and Acts 18:24–26 are used to teach that believers must continually grow in scriptural understanding and help others receive greater knowledge of truth. Vaughn interprets the seven lampstands of Revelation 1:12–20 as representing the churches and applies the warning of Revelation 2:5 to congregations that abandon repentance and holiness. He further teaches that believers are spiritual temples requiring continual cleansing and rededication to Yahweh. His identification of Hanukkah as a pattern for personal sanctification, his application of the temple's desecration to contemporary religious practices, and his interpretation of believers as the third temple are theological applications rather than conclusions explicitly established by John 10:22–24.
