Praise God excellent job for knitting all of this together. It is so apropos and true.

Very challenging message, thank you.

Amazing sermon, David. It would be great to see more preachers deliver pro-Israel sermons amidst the ongoing war in the middle east. As Christians we are co-heirs with Christ and spiritual descendants of Abraham. Our brothers and sisters in Israel are suffering and the world has yet again turned its back on her.

“The Hanukkah message to be radically counter-cultural“! Very excellent message, I learned a lot, so thank you.🙏🏻

Goodness, this is very powerful and useful for our time, and Judah’s times. I will try to share this with my family !! Thank you 🙏

I love history .... Hanukkah is from history .... so is the 4th of July, Thanksgiving ... Yeshua would be aware of the history behind the celebration of Hanukkah ... and when He said "when you see the Abomination .... spoken by Daniel," the people's minds would have immediately gone back to what happened in their past, that it will be on that caliber or worse, in their and our, future. ...

David, what does blessing Abraham mean?

[@selenagomez12358]

John... what chapter and verses please.

[@hlasitevolani1575]

Brother, when you speak the things of God, take your hat off. Show respect And be humble before God. Peace! Shalom

[@DavidWilberBlog]

Wearing a hat is neither disrespectful nor prideful before God, so I will continue to do so. Shalom.

Whats gonna happen to all those who reject messiah?

Jhn 10:22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. Jhn 10:23 And Yeshua walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. This year Ironically falls on the same time span as Christmas. December 26, 2024 - January 2, 2025 (Hanukkah is not one of the Appointed Times in Torah) Then Judas and his brothers and all the assembly of Israel determined that every year at that season the days of the dedication of the altar should be observed with gladness and joy for eight days, beginning with the twenty-fifth day of the month Kislev. (1 Maccabees 4:59

[@Ang-csb]

Ohh my what is hannakah? Not familiar with that term?

[@DavidWilberBlog]

It is a Hebrew term that means "dedication" and the name of a holiday that celebrates the rededication of the Second Temple during the time of the Maccabees.

[@torahexplorer]

Hanukkah is not in the Torah. Yahweh never gave permission for anyone to start up the temple.

[@DavidWilberBlog]

Scripture states that his presence filled Solomon's temple, just like it filled the tabernacle. If that is not an endorsement of "starting up the temple," I don't know what is.

[@lindsayball5080]

Hannakah is the festival of lights. It is kabballah not related to the feast of dedication. Don't be deceived. Kabballah is luciferianism

[@DavidWilberBlog]

False. Hanukkah literally means "dedication" in Hebrew, you goofball.

[@creationexplored6976]

I think a study on the name Lucifer would be beneficial for you. Kabbalah is mysticism or pagan worship mixed with Jewish beliefs. Luciferianism implies the Catholic understanding of Satan. Two very different things.
