1st Day of Hanukkah 2021

Today, Dec. 12, 2021 is the 25 day of Kislev on the Official Enoch Calendar.

I acknowledge this is significantly different from the modern day Jewish calendar. 

Enoch said that in End Times the people would lose track of what time it was.

In Daniel 7:25, we read

[Dan 7:25 KJV] "25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."

As Born Again, obedient, Bible believing Christians, this is the first time we have celebrated Hanukkah.  

I always considered Hanukkah as 100% Jewish, somewhat in competition with Christmas.  The Book of Macabees, which defines Hanukkah  isn't considered part of Biblical Canon, so I thought it was of even lower priority.  

I now understand that Hanukkah might represent or foreshadow Jesus Christ as the light of the world.

[Mat 5:14 KJV] "14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid."

[Luk 16:8 KJV] "8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light."

[Jhn 8:12 KJV] "12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

[Jhn 9:5 KJV] "5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

[Jhn 11:9 KJV] "9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world."

[2Co 4:4 KJV] "4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."

As we previously posted, Ministry Revealed suggests the Hanukkah 2021 would be a High Watch date for God to make a major move, likely on the 8th day of Hanukkah.  Unfortunately, they had a self-defined calendar of their own.  When their revised Hanukkah date came and went with no visible occurrence, they were unconsolable.

It was then that I checked the Official Enoch Calendar.  Nick Vanderlaan, its author, does not support Hanukkah for the same reasons stated above.  

With great temerity, I made a copy of Nick's Official Enoch Calendar, then  added Hanakkah 2021.  I immediately noted how it aligned with key events of Noah and the Ark.  I remembered that Jesus said that End Times would be like the days of Noah.  Perhaps we are finally on the right track for calendars.

We know little about Hanukkah.  We decided to light the left most lamp first, then state out loud all of the blessing that we have received, and give thanks to God.

While we await the 8th day of Hanukkah, we continue to do research on this mysterious celebration of light and thanksgiving.
