Don’t just be informed, be transformed!

I am beginning a new series centered on the Exodus — not to revisit ancient history, but to learn the lessons that determine whether a redeemed people actually enter the promises of God or spend their lives wandering just short of them. This journey starts where Paul starts: with a warning, not a celebration. He says, “I do not want you to be unaware.” Ignorance was not Israel’s problem. They were immersed in evidence of God’s power. They saw the cloud. They crossed the sea. They experienced deliverance firsthand. Yet experience did not produce maturity, and proximity to God did not produce obedience.

Dedication and Identity: You are the Temple!

The rededication of the Temple in the days of the Maccabees was more than the restoration of a building — it was a prophetic declaration that God had not abandoned His people. Though the holy place had been defiled, heaven had not withdrawn. The cleansing of the Temple announced that the Presence of the Holy One still desired to dwell among a consecrated people. What was polluted was removed. What was holy was restored. Light returned where darkness had ruled.

Oil, Light, and the Hidden Miracle

The best-known miracle of Chanukah, preserved in Jewish tradition rather than recorded in the Hebrew Scriptures, tells of a single, undefiled cruse of oil—enough for only one day—yet it burned for eight. Whether remembered as history or received as sacred legend, its message is relevant for us.  In the aftermath of desecration, when compromise had polluted nearly everything in the Temple, the issue was never abundance but holiness. Heaven did not count how much oil remained; it honored what had not been defiled. What endured was not the quantity of oil, but the purity of what was left.

A light in dark times: why Chanukah matters!

As people around the world gathered last night to light the first candle of Chanukah, I want to explain that this feast is far more than a historical remembrance—it is a prophetic key. For this reason, I am stepping aside briefly from the current series to focus on Chanukah and why it must be studied, discerned, and understood for its end-time significance.

Ambassadors of the Kingdom: Representing Heaven on Earth

Every believer carries a divine assignment — an identity rooted not in earthly citizenship, but in heavenly representation. When you came to faith in Yeshua (Jesus), you were not only redeemed and restored; you were commissioned. Heaven did not merely save you from something — it saved you for something. Paul declares, “Now then, we are ambassadors for Messiah, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Messiah’s behalf, be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20).

The Ingathering: The Harvest of Nations!

As Israel gathered the last fruits of the year — the grapes, the olives, the wheat — they came to Jerusalem rejoicing. The barns were full, the threshing floors overflowed, and the air was filled with the laughter of thanksgiving. Sukkot (Tabernacles) was more than a festival; it was a celebration of completion — a picture of the final ingathering of all things under God’s reign.

Don’t stop now – more truth and grace await.

The Water and the Light: Joy in His Presence

During the days of the Feast of Tabernacles, Jerusalem overflowed with rejoicing. Every night, torches illuminated the city, and worshippers filled the courts of the Temple with singing, dancing, and laughter. It was said, “He who has not seen the rejoicing at the Water-Drawing Ceremony has never seen joy in his life.”
