that yua for our visitors that's what we call Jesus because that's what his mama called him exactly what his father called him that's what the 2:24 2 minutes, 24 seconds angel called him that's what everybody called him but anyway that's I'm not going to preach on that tonight I ain't going to mess y'all up tonight 2:32 2 minutes, 32 seconds but anyway so yua in this verse where is he 2:39 2 minutes, 39 seconds at he's in Jerusalem why is he in Jerusalem for the Feast 2:48 2 minutes, 48 seconds of dedication the word Hana is Hebrew for 2:56 2 minutes, 56 seconds dedication so he was in Jerusalem C celebrating Hanukkah now the funny thing 3:03 3 minutes, 3 seconds brother John is his church which is supposed to be just like him will make fun of us for keeping Hanukkah when all 3:12 3 minutes, 12 seconds we're doing is imitating the head of our church now if you can show me where he 3:19 3 minutes, 19 seconds kept anything else I'll do that too but you see I could I can point to you in that Bible everything I 3:27 3 minutes, 27 seconds celebrate can you do the same you won't find Halloween in there you won't find Christmas in there 3:37 3 minutes, 37 seconds you won't find Easter in there you won't find Valentine's Day in there you won't find New Year's Eve on January 31st in 3:44 3 minutes, 44 seconds there but I can point to you everything I celebrate I can take this Bible and put my finger on while we celebrate it 3:51 3 minutes, 51 seconds now if you can't do that don't you ever make fun of me 4:02 4 minutes, 2 seconds I can do it can you so tonight here's yua keeping Chapter 2: The Tradition of Hanukkah and Its Meaning 4:09 4 minutes, 9 seconds Hanukkah the darkest nights of winter in Jerusalem are lit by the warm 4:17 4 minutes, 17 seconds soft glow of a candelabra like these on my right and on my 4:23 4 minutes, 23 seconds left they shine in the window of every Jewish Home the simple eight Branch candelabra 4:33 4 minutes, 33 seconds burds with a stately subtle Grace a passer by on the street stops to 4:42 4 minutes, 42 seconds enjoy the beauty of the lit candles in the window he sees children playing inside 4:50 4 minutes, 50 seconds the house he hears voices singing the aroma of good things in the kitchen drifts through the 4:58 4 minutes, 58 seconds home the passer by remarks tonight must be one of the nights of 5:06 5 minutes, 6 seconds Hanukkah the 8 Day Festival that we're celebrating is celebrated in the house 5:12 5 minutes, 12 seconds of Israel every year the eight Branch candelabra is lit one candle each night 5:22 5 minutes, 22 seconds friends and family gather for festive meals and for donuts that sounds heavenly doesn't it 5:32 5 minutes, 32 seconds there are games for children and storytelling and everything of that nature tonight I want to show you 5:39 5 minutes, 39 seconds something more beautiful than any holiday you will ever celebrate it's a holiday with meaning 5:49 5 minutes, 49 seconds tonight is the fifth night of Hanukkah this is why we only have five candles 5:56 5 minutes, 56 seconds lit on the manora here five candles tomorrow night we will light another 6:04 6 minutes, 4 seconds candle you know why because Hanukah is the celebration of the growing 6:12 6 minutes, 12 seconds light every night it celebrates the growing light and when you understand what we're 6:21 6 minutes, 21 seconds celebrating next year you may want to join in with us because it has great meaning so tonight I want to go through 6:29 6 minutes, 29 seconds these slides and I want to show you the meaning of it we're going to title tonight's lesson the miracle of the minority hanuka is not a 6:38 6 minutes, 38 seconds holy day we don't go by the Zite calendar for this one why is that it's not a commanded Festival you do not have 6:47 6 minutes, 47 seconds to keep Hanukkah God doesn't command it but we do it because Jesus did it and 6:54 6 minutes, 54 seconds because of the meaning of it so on this holiday it's not a commanded holy day so 7:02 7 minutes, 2 seconds therefore it's not holy time so we don't go by the holy calendar this is a Jewish holiday and we go with our Jewish 7:11 7 minutes, 11 seconds Brethren on their calendar it would be like if we were having July the 4th and you said well I'm going to do it in the 7:19 7 minutes, 19 seconds middle of July on the Zite well it would make no sense because that's not holy time it's not a holy holiday so Hada we 7:28 7 minutes, 28 seconds celebrate with our Jewish brothers when they celebrated let's go brother the light is getting brighter 7:36 7 minutes, 36 seconds and brighter you are what you celebrate yes sir you are what you Chapter 3: The Significance of What You Celebrate 7:45 7 minutes, 45 seconds celebrate whatever you celebrate is what you are I want you to get that right here deep down in your brain what you you celebrate Halloween 7:54 7 minutes, 54 seconds that's a satanic holiday you may want to figure out why you're doing it whenever you celebrate something that 8:01 8 minutes, 1 second has Pagan roots to it you are celebrating paganism well brother Von that's not why I do it the Lord knows my 8:09 8 minutes, 9 seconds heart no he doesn't I don't know where we got that 8:18 8 minutes, 18 seconds from the Lord knows my heart well why don't we do this why don't me and my wife we've been married 8:25 8 minutes, 25 seconds eight years going on nine or are we going on eight okay we're going on eight going no going on N why don't I just go have me just a 8:35 8 minutes, 35 seconds little Affair and go and tell her you know my heart I wouldn't have no heart 8:41 8 minutes, 41 seconds left it'd be jerked out right how does she know my 8:49 8 minutes, 49 seconds heart by my actions if you are celebrating paganism 8:58 8 minutes, 58 seconds and turning around saying God knows my heart he does know your heart it's a heart of 9:05 9 minutes, 5 seconds rebellion our actions determine our heart if you don't believe me God told 9:14 9 minutes, 14 seconds Abraham go up the mountain and sacrifice your child right Abraham didn't want to do it 9:23 9 minutes, 23 seconds he didn't like doing it but he did it he went to draw Back the Knife and you would think that the Lord would never have let him 9:32 9 minutes, 32 seconds got this far because the Lord knows his heart but oh no God he pulled back the 9:39 9 minutes, 39 seconds knife and when he went to kill him God said now I know I didn't know 9:47 9 minutes, 47 seconds before how's God going to tell Abraham now I know when he knows everything because the heart of a man is 9:55 9 minutes, 55 seconds desperately wicked even God can't know it it until you reveal it why did the Bible says 10:03 10 minutes, 3 seconds that iniquity was found in Satan's heart there's things hiding in your 10:12 10 minutes, 12 seconds heart you don't know about but you'll find out by the things you do so you are what you 10:20 10 minutes, 20 seconds celebrate and so as a church body we're learning we're relearning unlearning so that we can learn the things that are 10:29 10 minutes, 29 seconds worth celebrating and tonight you need to know why we celebrate Hanukkah as followers of the way we should always 10:37 10 minutes, 37 seconds check on the why of what we celebrate what we participate in what we watch 10:44 10 minutes, 44

12:23 12 minutes, 23 seconds blessing I don't feel good right so if we're going to be antiva let's be anti 12:31 12 minutes, 31 seconds everything don't let things in our church in our home and our bodies and our minds I'm talking to some of you look 12:41 12 minutes, 41 seconds looking straight at you looking at me like I'm crazy you need to become anti- 12:49 12 minutes, 49 seconds ungodliness and you need to become see here's the deal with the antiva movement if you're going to be antiva you can't 12:56 12 minutes, 56 seconds be antiva you got to be proimmune see you can't just be anti you

amen God gave us what we need so brothers and sisters in the Church of 13:45 13 minutes, 45 seconds God there has been an infection that has come in over the years and our holidays is a symbol of that 13:54 13 minutes, 54 seconds infection that God wants to get out of us now let me ask ask you if Hanukah was not 14:02 14 minutes, 2 seconds important why would yua be celebrating 14:08 14 minutes, 8 seconds it how many of you are Christians well whatever that word means anymore but how many of you are followers of 14:16 14 minutes, 16 seconds Christ do you imitate him yes why wouldn't you keep what he 14:24 14 minutes, 24 seconds kept it's really that simple why did he do it because he chose carefully what he celebrated he is our 14:33 14 minutes, 33 seconds example now we're going to dive in to this holiday and I'm going to teach you all about Hanukkah next 14:42 14 minutes, 42 seconds screen before we can talk about Hanukah we need to define a few 14:49 14 minutes, 49 seconds terms the key to clear understanding is a clear definition of 14:57 14 minutes, 57 seconds terms Deb F rise or fall on the lack of the clarification of words or terms in Chapter 5: Understanding the Meaning of Words 15:05 15 minutes, 5 seconds other words if a word means one thing to you but it means something else to me we can never reason 15:13 15 minutes, 13 seconds together for example when you say the word God you don't even know what God really 15:20 15 minutes, 20 seconds means so if you're going to ask me something you know it it the word god 15:27 15 minutes, 27 seconds simply means divine yes angels are Divine so if I told you angels are Gods 15:34 15 minutes, 34 seconds oh he said there's another God no I mean you can't even talk because you don't know what a God is understand what I'm saying when dumb 15:43 15 minutes, 43 seconds meets dumber than everybody's dumb it's 15:50 15 minutes, 50 seconds fact so if we're going to debate if we're going to have an argument a good argument not a fight but an argument we 15:57 15 minutes, 57 seconds got to know the word words that we're using so tonight I want to clarify a few words so that you know going forth what 16:06 16 minutes, 6 seconds we're celebrating the word Hanukah means what dedication DED dedication eight days we're 16:14 16 minutes, 14 seconds celebrating dedication wow what a horrible 16:22 16 minutes, 22 seconds holiday we're celebrating dedication of ourselves to Yahweh 16:31 16 minutes, 31 seconds what a horrible celebration amen the next one the word mabes which you're going to hear me 16:38 16 minutes, 38 seconds talking about tonight macabees that word is Hebrew for 16:46 16 minutes, 46 seconds what it's right there y'all is anybody awake hammers because I'm going to preach to 16:54 16 minutes, 54 seconds you tonight about God's hammers another word I want you to know the 17:03 17 minutes, 3 seconds meaning of assimilation what does assimilation 17:11 17 minutes, 11 seconds mean to to blend together you're assimilating all right keep that word in your mind assimilation 17:19 17 minutes, 19 seconds means blending together what is the first commandment God ever gave in the Book of 17:26 17 minutes, 26 seconds Genesis the first law that he gave the first thing he commanded 17:35 17 minutes, 35 seconds Mankind and then yeah right before that he said these things to let every seed 17:43 17 minutes, 43 seconds produce after its own kind God hates 17:50 17 minutes, 50 seconds mixture God hates assimilation the church loves assimilation I'm going to prove to you 17:58 17 minutes, 58 seconds tonight God despises assimilation what is what are you talking about the blending together 18:06 18 minutes, 6 seconds of the world and the church God hates assimilation tonight you're going to 18:13 18 minutes, 13 seconds learn that Hanukah is about assimilation next screen I want to talk to you tonight 18:21 18 minutes, 21 seconds about soldiers of Truth prevailing against the darkness let's go to the Book of Daniel 18:29 18 minutes, 29 seconds chapter 11:32 The Book of Daniel 18:44 18 minutes, 44 seconds 11:32 one of my favorite verses actually in the Bible and this is our

sitting there worried about your light bill what you going to do when you don't even have no lights some of y'all need to grow up in God your emotions are 21:10 21 minutes, 10 seconds destroying you you know why cuz you don't know truth amen truth will make you free from your 21:19 21 minutes, 19 seconds emotions God is calling the people that know their God to be strong not to be 21:26 21 minutes, 26 seconds strong sometime right the all the time I don't care if youve been fight 21:33 21 minutes, 33 seconds with your wife or your husband you walk in them doors leave them at the bottom

to have an unusual strength I need you to listen and if you learn this truth you'll be with me till 22:01 22 minutes, 1 second we both dead and gone why because when you know truth you have an unusual 22:09 22 minutes, 9 seconds strength I don't care what you go through there will be an unusual strength about you when you know that 22:17 22 minutes, 17 seconds when you know God's plan for the ages Daniel said if you know this truth you'll always be 22:26 22 minutes, 26 seconds strong and not just do good things but you will do 22:34 22 minutes, 34 seconds exploits y'all know what exploits is

and Overcoming Emotions 22:49 22 minutes, 49 seconds ever accomplish is victory over your emotions truth is a powerful tool 22:57 22 minutes, 57 seconds against the enemy next screen the greatest exploits occur in the greatest 23:05 23 minutes, 5 seconds darkness and the greatest darkness of your life is when God wants to do the greatest exploits in your 23:13 23 minutes, 13 seconds life the verse that Daniel just wrote was in a very very dark time for the people of Israel the people of 23:22 23 minutes, 22 seconds Yahweh now there's one thing I want to teach you about Bible study especially in the book of Daniel and 23:30 23 minutes, 30 seconds Revelation when you're reading prophetic scriptures scriptures have layers of 23:40 23 minutes, 40 seconds meaning many scriptures that are prophetic have already been fulfilled and they're going to be 23:48 23 minutes, 48 seconds fulfilled again you need to understand that when you're studying prophecy I'll give you an example how 23:56 23 minutes, 56 seconds many's ever read that scripture in Isaiah and you shall call his name Emmanuel right did you know that was 24:04 24 minutes, 4 seconds talking about Jesus God With 24:13 24 minutes, 13 seconds Us no it was talking about one of the children of King 24:24 24 minutes, 24 seconds Hezekiah it was a prophecy about that time in Israel when the king would have a child God would be with Israel through 24:32 24 minutes, 32 seconds that child and he would do exploits God With Us well God was with us whenever Moses came to Israel that was God With 24:41 24 minutes, 41 seconds Us cuz God told Israel I'll send a deliver I'll come and deliver you well God didn't come Moses came but God did 24:49 24 minutes, 49 seconds come because God came with Moses so God was with us so Moses was 24:57 24 minutes, 57 seconds Emmanuel follow it now well when you read Emanuel you should call his name Emanuel go read that verse I dare you don't take my word read the chapter and 25:06 25 minutes, 6 seconds it's not even about Jesus but it is about Jesus that's how prophetic scriptures 25:15 25 minutes, 15 seconds work they have a present fulfillment and a future fulfillment and however many 25:21 25 minutes, 21 seconds God takes those things and makes them a shadow of a greater truth that is to come so tonight you're going to learn 25:30 25 minutes, 30 seconds something about Hanukkah that you never knew here's what it is yes Hanukkah happened in the past but I'm going to 25:39 25 minutes, 39 seconds show you tonight where hanukkah's fixing to happen all over again in the future that's what you need to understand about 25:47 25 minutes, 47 seconds Hanukkah that's right Hanukkah is about a past event 25:54 25 minutes, 54 seconds that will take place again right Passover is a past event that will take 26:02 26 minutes, 2 seconds place in the father's Kingdom see God uses these parallels to teach prophecy so tonight you're going 26:11 26 minutes, 11 seconds to oh brother V why are y'all doing all this about some event that happened because we cuz cuz we didn't because we don't listen to ostein we listen to the 26:20 26 minutes, 20 seconds word see we understand that that God is calling us to a deeper walk and he's revealing to us through the keeping of 26:28 26 minutes, 28 seconds of Hanukah what he's about to do all over again and he's calling his people 26:36 26 minutes, 36 seconds to back to Hanukkah have how many of you before this year ever felt a push to Chapter 8: Embracing Hanukkah and Rejecting Christmas Traditions 26:43 26 minutes,

God said and I didn't know why till tonight now you 26:59 26 minutes, 59 seconds going to find out why cuz God gave me the revelation of it so we're moving into a place now where God is calling 27:07 27 minutes, 7 seconds forth a Remnant to return to the keeping of Hanukkah not some 27:14 27 minutes, 14 seconds lie about some fat man in a red 27:18 27 minutes, 18 seconds [Applause] 27:20 27

323 in that time period Alexander 30:53 30 minutes, 53 seconds the Great begins to take over the known world world now here's 30:59 30 minutes, 59 seconds Egypt Asia the Middle East Alexander and pay 31:07 31 minutes, 7 seconds attention was on a mission to What's called henize the 31:13 31 minutes, 13 seconds world let me explain what heniz is heniz was a mindset of Alexander the 31:23 31 minutes, 23 seconds Great Alexander believed that the greatest 31:29 31 minutes, 29 seconds religion was the human mind reasoning science uh that's where we get all of 31:36 31 minutes, 36 seconds our great philosophers Plato Socrates uh Philo all of the great minds of the 31:43 31 minutes, 43 seconds world come from the Greek hellenization of thought 31:50 31 minutes, 50 seconds hellenization was a polytheistic religion what is polytheistic many God many gods 31:59 31 minutes, 59 seconds Israel was one God but they were trinit I mean um many gods they believed in a 32:08 32 minutes, 8 seconds lot of gods right Israel always believed in one God okay so the Greek Empire as 32:16 32 minutes, 16 seconds it spread it began to take over cultures and cities and towns just like Rome did 32:24 32 minutes, 24 seconds it took over well with that comes that culture that way of thinking so when you hear the word 32:32 32 minutes, 32 seconds hellenized you're you're hearing Alexander the Great mentality he believed in the human mind as God if you 32:41 32 minutes, 41 seconds will the smarter you were like do fouy the more revered you were little 32:51 32 minutes, 51 seconds preachers like me would have been at the bottom of the heniz thought because I was a man of faith 32:58 32 minutes, 58 seconds to the Greek mind faith has no place it's all rational it all must make sense 33:06 33 minutes, 6 seconds it must be logical this mindset was pervading over the known world as 33:14 33 minutes, 14 seconds Alexander is spreading his Empire so you need to understand because this is what Hanukkah is all about hang 33:23 33 minutes, 23 seconds tight and you're going to find out tonight why God has done this he began to change the world through 33:31 33 minutes, 31 seconds heniz he took over the Persian Empire Africa Asia now he respected local 33:40 33 minutes, 40 seconds culture that he conquered and he allowed them to continue their 33:46 33 minutes, 46 seconds Customs but he created within them a mixture of 33:55 33 minutes, 55 seconds assimilation it's real simple you're Italian you like spaghetti you like meatballs well if he takes over your 34:03 34 minutes, 3 seconds land of Italy you can still keep eating your meatballs he doesn't make you lose all your culture but he wants you to 34:10 34 minutes, 10 seconds take his culture and mix it in now with your culture and now you start losing 34:17 34 minutes, 17 seconds your what you start losing your uniqueness 34:25 34 minutes, 25 seconds your individuality say Satan is a great assimilator he hates people that are Chapter 10: The Great Assimilator: Alexander and Cultural Influence 34:32 34 minutes, 32 seconds willing to look different he hates people that are 34:38 34 minutes, 38 seconds willing to look strange instead of being assimilated into 34:45 34 minutes, 45 seconds society so Alexander takes over the world and he he he'll let you keep going to church he just wants you to do it on 34:52 34 minutes, 52 seconds Sunday instead of the Sabbath he don't mind you going to church let me tell you Satan is the great assimilator he want 34:59 34 minutes, 59 seconds he will let you of course you can be a Christian you don't have to give up 35:06 35 minutes, 6 seconds being a Christian to serve Satan we've got Christian witches all over the world you don't have to give up being a 35:15 35 minutes, 15 seconds Christian to serve the devil just allow me to influence how you're a 35:22 35 minutes, 22 seconds Christian just let me take over your mind and you keep your religion give me your mind and we'll mix it all together 35:31 35 minutes, 31 seconds until nobody can recognize you anymore you'll be a mixture God hates mixture he said in the Book of Genesis 35:40 35 minutes, 40 seconds come out from among that I don't want you mix an end with Alexander the Great's way of thinking 35:48 35 minutes, 48 seconds Alexander was trying to replace Faith with science socalled this was in the time when Paul 35:57 35 minutes, 57 seconds wrote about science so-called is what he said now what happened when he would take over your city or your village he 36:06 36 minutes, 6 seconds would let you keep your religion he would let you keep your food but he wanted you to take over and accept his 36:16 36 minutes, 16 seconds language which was what Greek I'm fixing a preach I'm going to wake up in a minute I'm going get to 36:24 36 minutes, 24 seconds feel it better in a minute you 36:32 36 minutes, 32 seconds could you could still have your Bible just speak his 36:39 36 minutes, 39 seconds language now what he did forbid was the speaking of your original language why do you think the New 36:48 36 minutes, 48 seconds Testament is supposedly written in Greek right because Alexander's language had 36:55 36 minutes, 55 seconds taken over even the people of God they were all 37:01 37 minutes, 1 second alanized Greek was the cool language Let Me Tell You God's people have never been cool we will never be cool and God don't 37:10 37 minutes, 10 seconds want us to be cool we are different from the world always we don't sing their songs we 37:17 37 minutes, 17 seconds don't listen

cool about 38:04 38 minutes, 4 seconds it just be cool right don't be radical don't try to have your service 38:13 38 minutes, 13 seconds on some weird day when all the rest of the church is doing it on Sunday that's Chapter 11: The Influence of Alexander the Great on Religious Practices 38:21 38 minutes, 21 seconds right don't be radical why yall doing this do what all the church is doing right

40 minutes, 9 seconds at when Alexander the Great died he had four generals those generals each took a 40:18 40 minutes, 18 seconds portion of his kingdom and those four divisions were known as Macedon perama salus and toy 40:28 40 minutes, 28 seconds those were four men that took Alexander's Kingdom when he died and divided it all up however you could 40:36 40 minutes, 36 seconds categorize those in the North and the South see some things never change they repeat over and over and 40:44 40 minutes, 44 seconds over the North and the South so now I want you to look at this screen up at the North you've got the 40:52 40 minutes, 52 seconds King of the North you read about that in the Book of Daniel and revelation King of the North then you've got the King of the 41:00 41 minutes South in

seconds this ain't about a holiday it's about a message that's represented in these candles and God told and and whenever 57:42 57 minutes, 42 seconds this man he wanted to unite the church but he had a problem he did he had a problem why couldn't he unite the 57:52 57 minutes, 52 seconds church because he didn't have what he needed a 58:01 58 minutes, 1 second preacher if you're going to get inside the church Satan you got to have a preacher you got to have a 58:08 58 minutes, 8 seconds preacher Antiochus wanted in Israel and he wanted them to hear him call them into 58:17 58 minutes, 17 seconds hellenization hell with hellenization that's what he was trying to bring to the church to bring them to Hell through hellenization and so when he went down 58:25 58 minutes, 25 seconds there he was looking for a preacher now at this period of time stay 58:33 58 minutes, 33 seconds with me and I'm almost done at this period of time this is important God's holy 58:40 58 minutes, 40 seconds church had been placed under the care of a certain line of 58:51 58 minutes, 51 seconds priest in the Book of Ezekiel Yahweh said about 58:59 58 minutes, 59 seconds zadok zadok was the only priest

minutes, 16 seconds want them other preachers in my pull pit right just zadok so at this period of time where 59:25 59 minutes, 25 seconds Antiochus comes on the scene the temple in Jerusalem is under the pastorate of a zadok 59:34 59 minutes, 34 seconds priest next screen now when you play with the piper you 59:42 59 minutes, 42 seconds must pay the piper let me show you what Daniel prophesied in chapter 11 was going to 59:51 59 minutes, 51 seconds happen to the church for playing with the piper for allowing Antiochus to come 59:58 59 minutes, 58 seconds in he said in Daniel 11 for ships from Cyprus shall come against him and he shall be grieved and return in Rage 1:00:07 1 hour, 7 seconds remember those words he'll return in Rage Against The Holy Covenant and he will do 1:00:14 1 hour, 14 seconds damage now this is 300 years before Daniel's prophesying this I love Daniel chapter 11 so he shall return talking Chapter 17: The Prophecy of Daniel and Antiochus 1:00:23 1 hour, 23 seconds

Antiochus was ready to call 1:14:57 1 hour, 14 minutes, 57 seconds in his debt to the church they owed him because he had protected them now this is what happened they 1:15:06 1 hour, 15 minutes, 6 seconds broke the treaty now when Jason became the preacher of the church here's what he did this is 1:15:15 1 hour, 15 minutes, 15 seconds interesting when Jason became the preacher of the church he built a gymnasium now nothing wrong with the gymnasium well what they was doing in 1:15:24 1 hour, 15 minutes, 24 seconds gymnasiums back then something was very wrong with it okay there was perversion in the church they was in their little 1:15:32 1 hour, 15 minutes, 32 seconds bath houses what they weren taking baths either they was playing in the water and they were sing in the church and it let Chapter 21: The Consequences of Compromise in the Church 1:15:40 1 hour, 15 minutes, 40 seconds me tell you sin never comes into a church until compromise comes 1:15:50 1 hour, 15 minutes,

in the 1:16:06 1 hour, 16 minutes, 6 seconds temple by the hands of Satan but here's the sad part many Jews like their new 1:16:12 1 hour, 16 minutes, 12 seconds preacher he was sweeter than onias was

time you can't help yourself 1:16:46 1 hour, 16 minutes, 46 seconds because you heard the truth right and it keeps calling you back that's right three and a half years later the treaty 1:16:54 1 hour, 16 minutes, 54 seconds is broken MH Antiochus goes to battle against Egypt and he loses the battle 1:17:02 1 hour, 17 minutes, 2 seconds and he's mad now remember Daniel's prophecy that he would have a rage the ships of Rome came against him 1:17:09 1 hour, 17 minutes, 9 seconds just like Daniel prophesied now he's angry and then he gets a report that there's trouble in 1:17:18 1 hour, 17 minutes,

minutes, 48 seconds 1776 he hears that the people are taking over the church they're taking it back from from 1:17:56 1 hour, 17 minutes, 56 seconds [Applause] 1:17:58 1 hour, 17 minutes, 58 seconds Jason we will always rise up God's always going to have a 1:18:05 1 hour, 18 minutes, 5 seconds minority that's more powerful than the majority that's what we did in 20120 in 1:18:11 1 hour, 18 minutes, 11 seconds 2016 this minority came out of nowhere and Disturbed the whole world why 1:18:19 1 hour, 18 minutes, 19 seconds because God always works in the minority always so he comes back to Jerusalem and guess what he does he 1:18:26 1 hour, 18 minutes, 26 seconds sends a message to Jason and he says we're going to come back and I'm going to send peacekeeping troops 1:18:35 1 hour, 18 minutes, 35 seconds 22,000 and they're coming to restore peace in the church in America restoring 1:18:42 1 hour, 18 minutes, 42 seconds peace but he said we're not going to come until the Sabbath day why because we know y'all will be 1:18:50 1 hour, 18 minutes, 50 seconds resting on the Sabbath so they gather 22,000 forces they come to Jerusalem on the 1:18:59 1 hour, 18 minutes, 59 seconds Sabbath day because Jews don't fight on the Sabbath but you see Jason was a liar uh 1:19:06 1 hour, 19 minutes, 6 seconds Antiochus was a liar he wasn't there for peace he came through Jerusalem and killed 1:19:15 1 hour, 19 minutes, 15 seconds 80,000 Patriots Holiness Chapter 22: Compromise and the Loss of Church Passion 1:19:22 1 hour, 19 minutes, 22 seconds people he killed them and he

20 minutes, 26 seconds this church dancing it's the hardest thing I have to do is get people to really just get in the presence of God and give their 1:20:36 1 hour, 20 minutes, 36 seconds sacrifice when you make a deal with Satan to compromise your church it starts off looking good but eventually 1:20:45 1 hour, 20 minutes, 45 seconds the church becomes normal he walked in he didn't take their 1:20:52 1 hour, 20 minutes, 52 seconds Church from them he took their path passion from them when you start going to a church 1:20:59 1 hour, 20 minutes, 59 seconds and the passion is gone that Satan's church he likes that 1:21:08 1 hour, 21 minutes, 8 seconds church oh and he likes it so much that he will mislabel the passionate church as a 1:21:18 1 hour, 21 minutes, 18 seconds cult because the world that's right how could you be so 1:21:26 1 hour, 21 minutes, 26 seconds passionate about that Bible just be a good Christian just do it the church 1:21:32 1 hour, 21 minutes, 32

Summary

Pastor Shane Vaughn presents Hanukkah as a celebration of spiritual courage, religious dedication, and the preservation of Yahweh's truth against overwhelming cultural and political opposition. Drawing from John 10, which places Yahshua in Jerusalem during the Feast of Dedication, Vaughn challenges the misconception that Hanukkah is simply a Jewish equivalent of Christmas. He emphasizes that Hanukkah is not one of Yahweh's commanded annual Holy Days but is a meaningful historical commemoration that FHMI chooses to observe. The sermon explains Hanukkah as a festival of increasing light and remembrance. Vaughn describes the lighting of candles, family celebrations, and the significance of dedication. He distinguishes Hanukkah from the commanded feasts observed according to FHMI's Zadokite Calendar, explaining that the congregation celebrates Hanukkah alongside the Jewish community because it is a historical rather than a commanded sacred observance. The message then develops its principal spiritual theme: the danger of assimilation. Vaughn traces the influence of Alexander the Great, Greek culture, Hellenization, and Antiochus IV Epiphanes upon the Jewish people. He argues that the greatest threat to covenant identity is often not outright persecution but the gradual acceptance of surrounding cultural values, language, religious practices, and compromises. Throughout the sermon, Vaughn applies the historical account to the contemporary church. He encourages believers to preserve their distinct identity, resist pressure to become socially acceptable, maintain modesty and holiness, and refuse to exchange biblical convictions for popularity or institutional influence. He repeatedly contrasts the faithful minority with the compromising majority. The concluding portion recounts the persecution of Jewish believers, the resistance of Mattathias and his sons, and the Maccabean struggle to reclaim the Temple. Vaughn presents the traditional miracle of the oil and the rededication of the Temple as a testimony that Yahweh can accomplish extraordinary things through a small number of committed people. Central message: A faithful minority that knows Yahweh, refuses compromise, and remains committed to His commandments can preserve truth and overcome forces that appear far greater than itself.
