An eight day festival held by the Jews to commemorate the rededication of the Temple after its defilement by the Greek pagan antichrist Antiochus Epipheanes. When the Jews cleaned out the temple idols, legend has it they found only one small cruse of oil with only enough oil for one day to light their holy lamps. They decided to light the Menorah (the Temple candelabra) even with the small amount of oil. To everyone’s amazement the menorah miraculously burned for eight days until new oil was available. Research has demonstrated that this miracle almost certainly did not happen and that it was invented by the Pharisees to bolster their power. During Hanukkah Yah'shua (Jesus) spoke of His miracles (John 10:37-38). Yah'shua wanted the people of his day to see His miracles and believe in Him as a result. His miracles point to his divine and messianic identity. Yah'shua did not endorse the spirit of Hanukkah which commemorates the re-establishment of the Kingdom by violent means, contrary to the way of the Gospel. Hanukkah is also a reminder of days of persecution and tribulation ahead when the Antichrist comes to power. It's celebration is not commanded by Yahweh anywhere in Scripture and therefore Hanukkah is not celebrated by New Covenant Christians.
