"A Connection between Hanukkah and Christmas of 2015"


Dear Doves:
 
1) According to Exodus chapter 12, the Lord said to Moses and Aaron that Nisan shall be the first month of the year.
     It was God's design that the preparation for the departure should begin from the new moon of Nisan.
     And the Israelites kept a lamb until the 14th day of Nisan, killed it in the evening and were saved by the blood of
     lamb, then left Egypt in a hurry on the 15th.
     14/15 days from the new moon is a full moon, and God uses this pattern very importantly. 
     The Lord told some watchmen that the borrowed time was given from the year of 2000, so this pattern can be
     applied for 2014 and 2015 of the Tetrad, and 2015 could be a year for the Departure. 
     The 7th day of Hanukkah is the new moon of the 10th month, Tevet.
     Tevet was the month that Esther, the "type" of the Bride, was chosen as the queen, and 10 means Completion.
     If God uses the same pattern of 14/15 days from the new moon for Tevet this year, it comes to Christmas.
 
2) In my previous post, I introduced the teaching of Zola Levitte that 8 feasts (7 feasts plus Hanukkah) coincide
     with each important steps of the human gestation.
     According to Better Health Channel, the unborn baby spends 38 weeks(266 days) in the uterus, but the average
     length of pregnancy, or gestation, is counted at 40 weeks(280 days), and pregnancy is counted from the first
     day of the woman's last period, not the date of conception which generally occurs 2 weeks(14 days) later.
     14 means Salvation, 40 means Trial and Test, and 38 is associated with John 5:5 that Jesus healed one who had
     been an invalid for 38 years.
     It teaches that all human beings are born in 38 weeks as sinner, and only can be saved by Jesus Christ.
 
     And as like the same way in Exodus if we apply the above medical grounds for 2015, we can assume that the
     pregnancy has begun from 3/20-21(Nisan 1) and 14 days later, the conception has begun from 4/3-4(Passover).
     We all know that there were the solar eclipse on Nisan 1(3/20-21) and the Blood Moon eclipse on Passover(4/3-4),
     and these signs could be a confirmation for this assumption.
     Amazingly 280 days(40 weeks) from 3/20-21 and 266 days(38 weeks) from 4/3-4 come to 12/24-25, Christmas.
     And this coming Christmas is a full moon for the first time in 38 years.
     Coincidence? 
 
3) We all know that Christmas is not the right birthday of Jesus Christ.
     But According to a documentary film "The Star of Bethlehem," 12/25 was when 3 wise men arrived at Bethlehem
     to worship the King.
     And the reappearance of the Bethlehem Star on 7/1 this year for the first time since that event could be a sign
     that wise virgins will enter New Jerusalem to worship the King.
     Christmas fits to Matthew 24:37-39 that Jesus mentioned about the days of Noah.
 
4) As I wrote in my previous letter, a historical menorah lighting ritual occurred in Jerusalem on the 7th night of
     Hanukkah last year, and I thought it was the message from the Lord that the Bride should be filled with pure olive
     oil to light the temple.
     Hanukkah in 2014 ended on Christmas eve, and it's very possible that God allowed 12 months from it for the Bride
     as like 12 months were given to Esther to prepare herself as it's written in Esther 2:12.
 
     Purim is the feast commemorating Esther's victory to save Jewish people from Haman's wiles, and it's observed on
     a full moon of the Jewish last month.
     This coming Christmas is a full moon of the last month in 2015 which happens to be Tevet, the 10th month.
     Could it be the God's design that the Bride who cares about the chosen people like Esther is taken to the throne of     
     God as it's written in Rev.12:5 this Christmas?
     If it's so, there is a possibility that 10 day warning or 7 day warning might be given before Christmas.
 
No one knows the day or the hour, but we all know it's very close.
Maranatha!
