A LITTLE HISTORY AND HOW IT SHOULD BE CELEBRATED.. NOT LIKE THE EURO JEWS DO IT BUT ACCORDING TO THE WORD.NO MORE ANIMAL SACRIFICE BECAUSE MESSIAH CAME AFTER.

"And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the Temple in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about Him, and said unto Him, How long dost Thou make us to doubt? If Thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in My Father's Name, they bear witness of Me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of My sheep, as I said unto you.

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.

My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one.



These verses shows the cleansing of the temple after the gentiles had defiled and made it abominable


41 Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary.


42 So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law:


43 Who cleansed the sanctuary, and bare out the defiled stones into an unclean place.


44 And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned;


45 They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it: wherefore they pulled it down,


46 And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them.


47 Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former;


48 And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were within the temple, and hallowed the courts.


49 They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, and the table.


50 And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give light in the temple.


51 Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they had begun to make.


52 Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning,


53 And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.


54 Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals.


55 Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.


56 And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.


57 They decked also the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.


58 Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away.
