THE HANUKKAH HOAX

The Feast of Dedication of modern Judaism also originates in the Books of Maccabees, yet Greece did not defile the Temple. However, worse, the Bible gives dates for the Dedication of the First and Second Temples and neither are near December.

FIRST TEMPLE FEAST OF DEDICATION:

Feast of Tabernacles. 7th Hebrew Month (Ethanim)

Modern Calendar: Between Sept. 15 - Oct. 15

1 Kings 8:63, 8:2; 2 Chronicles 5:3

SECOND TEMPLE FEAST OF DEDICATION:

Adar 3 or 23. 12th Hebrew Month (Not December)

Modern Calendar: Between Feb. 15 - Mar. 15

Ezra 6:15-17, 1st Esdras 7:5-8 (Note: March 15 is still Winter)

The Second Temple stood until 70 A.D. Therefore, it’s Feast of Dedication remained Late February to Early March (Winter). The history used to redefine this as a rededication proves to be fraud according to the Qumran community (previous page). What the Maccabees did was celebrate their pagan, Persian Winter Solstice Festival and they called it Hanukkah which is the Hebrew word for dedication. However, they defiled the Temple on that date. It is a rather disgusting display in fraud. Some attempt to claim Messiah was celebrating the Hasmonean Hanukkah but that as well is a lie. He was there in the 12th Hebrew Month (Feb 15-Mar. 15).

EXPOSED IN 1st ESDRAS!

Matthew 15:12-14 KJV

Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were off ended, after they heard this saying? But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

MODERN HANUKKAH IS THAT DITCH!

Messiah Was In The Temple In Adar (between Feb. 15-Mar. 15) NOT December!

John 10:22 KJV

And it was at Jerusalem the feast of dedication, and it was winter. And Yahusha walked in the Temple in Solomon’s porch.

This is consistent with the Second Temple Feast of Dedication in the Winter in Late February to Mid-March. Messiah did NOT celebrate the Hasmonean Hanukkah nor does He ever embrace their story on any level. He rebukes their priests, their religion and even their lineage. It is time we correct this for good.
