PART 1
God has His calendar with fixed
appointed times, and He uses the
sun, moon, and stars to help us understand the
mo’adim. All these
signs have a significance place in Jewish festivals. We can
see how
these dates fit with the coming events. And not only certain date are
significant, but also certain numbers and their meanings.
This past year there has been
Solar Storms in the Sun, a Comet (the
Hanukkah
Comet) is coming Thanksgiving Day 2013, and starting in
April 2014 the Four
Blood Moons.
These scriptures from the New
King James Version and the Orthodox
Jewish Bible clearly show that we should
observe God’s signs in the sky.
(The Hebrew word "moade
or mo’adim", means "an appointed fixed
time, a season or
festival)

through 2014.

enormous tail, visible in the night sky. Comet ISON was projected
to either impact the Sun or just graze it on November 28,

at 0.43 AU,
about half the distance between the earth and the sun.
The earth will past
through the comet’s trail of cosmic dust in mid-January.
Is God revealing

Chanukkah - Rededication
Of The Temple
In the time of the Maccabees,
when Syrian ruler Antiochus IV
unleashed his great persecution against the Jews
of Judea, it was
on Kislev 24 that the enemy was defeated and the Temple freed from
its
desecration. That is why the festival of Chanukah is celebrated
beginning at sundown, at the end of Kislev 24. Chanukkah is the
Jewish festival of
rededication, also known as the festival of lights,
is an eight day festival
beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month
Jewish religion. As recorded in the Talmud,
Oil wasneeded for the
menorah in the Temple. At the rededication of the Temple, little oil
was left
that the Greeks had not defiled. There was only enough oil to
burn for one day,
yet it burned for eight days, the time needed to
prepare a fresh supply
of oil for the menorah. An eight day festival
was declared to commemorate this miracle.
