Understanding The Feast Of Dedication And It's Observance

 

THE FEAST OF DEDICATION (HANUKKAH) IS A HOLY DAY IN ISRAEL THAT IS KEPT ON THE 25TH DAY IN THE 9TH MONTH OF THE HEBREW YEAR ALSO KNOWN AS THE MONTH (KISLEV {W} /CASLEU. THE FEAST OF DEDICATION STARTS AT EVEN (GENESIS 1:5) ON THE 25TH DAY OF THE 9TH MONTH AND IS TO BE OBSERVED WITH JOY, AND GLADNESS THROUGHOUT OUR GENERATIONS AS IT WAS A GREAT VICTORY OVER THE HEATHENS LED BY IDUMEA WHICH IS EDOM. READ 1ST MACCABEES 4:56-59. THIS WAS THE TIME WE TOOK BACK AND REDEDICATED OUR TEMPLE TO THE MOST HIGH GOD.

  THE FEAST OF DEDICATION IS TO BE KEPT AS THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES IS KEPT WHICH IS BY THE SPACE OF 8 DAYS WITH THE FIRST AND LAST DAYS BEING SABBATHS AND HOLY CONVOCATIONS (GATHERINGS) READ 2ND MACCABEES 1:18 & LEVITICUS 23:34-39. MANY ISRAELITES HAVE SOUGHT TO CORRUPT THIS OBSERVANCE BY EITHER NOT ACKNOWLEDGING IT AS HOLY, SAYING YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP IT IN THE LAND OF YOUR CAPTIVITY OR BY MASS GIFT GIVING TO CHILDREN.

WE HERE AT LAW LIFE OBSERVE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE FEAST OF DEDICATION AS OUR FORE-PARENTS DID, AND WE KEEP IT IN THE LANDS OF OUR CAPTIVITY. READ JOHN 10:22-23. OUR FORE-FATHER AND MESSIAH WAS OBSERVING THE FEAST OF DEDICATION IN A CAPTIVITY UNDER ROMAN RULE. WE DO NOT PARTAKE IN MASS GIFT GIVING TO CHILDREN BECAUSE IT IS A TRADITION OF MEN AND CAN NOT BE FOUND IN THE SCRIPTURE WHICH MAKES IT PAGAN. MASS GIFT GIVING DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR IS ALSO A WICKED WAY TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS AND HIDE IT UNDER THE NAME OF HANUKKAH OR THE FEAST OF DEDICATION. BE FOREWARNED TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING (2ND CORINTHIANS 6:17)!

NOTE: ON THE FIRST AND LAST DAY OF THIS HOLY DAY(FEAST) YOU CAN COOK, BUT NO WORKING, SELLING OR BUYING IS ALLOWED BECAUSE THOSE DAYS ARE COUNTED AS SABBATHS. IF THE 1ST AND/OR LAST DAY FALLS ON THE 7TH DAY SABBATH NO COOKING IS ALLOWED AS THE 7TH DAY SABBATH HAS SUPREMACY OVER ALL OTHER SABBATHS(EXODUS 20:9-10).

"And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight dayes, and offered burnt offerings with gladnesse, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliuerance and praise.
57They deckt also the forefront of the temple with crownes of gold; and with shields, and the gates, and the chambers they renewed and hanged doores vpon them.
58Thus was there very great gladnesse among the people, for that the reproch of the heathen was put away.
59Moreouer Iudas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained that the daies of the dedication of the altar, should be kept in their season from yeere to yeere by the space of eight dayes, from the fiue and twentieth day of the moneth Casleu, with mirth and gladnesse." ~1ST MACCABEES 4:56-59

"Therefore whereas we are nowe purposed to keep the purification of the Temple vpon the fiue & twentieth day of the moneth Casleu, we thought it necessary to certifie you thereof, that ye also might keepe it, as the feast of the tabernacles, and of the fire which was giuen vs when Neemias offered sacrifice, after that he had builded the Temple, and the Altar." ~2ND MACCABEES 1:18

"Now vpon the same day that the strangers prophaned the Temple, on the very same day it was cleansed againe, euen the fiue and twentieth day of the same moneth, which is Casleu.
6And they kept eight dayes with gladnes as in the feast of the Tabernacles, remembring that not long afore they had helde the feast of the Tabernacles, when as they wandered in the mountaines, and dennes, like beasts." ~2ND MACCABEES 10:5-6

Hidden Treasures of the Diaspora

Dinah, Portrait of a Negress: ca 1866-69

Eastman Johnson (July 29, 1824 – April 5, 1906) was an American painter and co-founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City

Did you know??

In 19th century America, "Dinah" became a generic name for an enslaved African woman

Lizzie McCloud, a slave on a Tennessee plantation during the American Civil War, recalled that Union soldiers called all enslaved women "Dinah". Describing her fear when the Union army arrived, she said: "We was so scared we run under the house and the Yankees called 'Come out Dinah' (didn't call none of us anything but Dinah). They said 'Dinah, we're fightin' to free you and get you out from under bondage'." After the end of the war in 1865 The New York Times exhorted the newly liberated slaves to demonstrate that they had the moral values to use their freedom effectively, using the names "Sambo" and "Dinah" to represent male and female former slaves: "You are free Sambo, but you must work. Be virtuous too, oh Dinah!"

The name Dinah was subsequently used for dolls and other images of black women ~wikipedia

Genesis 34:1

“And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.”

Joshua 8:1-8

And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:2

And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.

3So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.

4And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:

5And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,

6(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.

7Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

8And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.

After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself. And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem, He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him.  So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?

8But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;

9There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

10And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

11And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.

12And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,

11And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

12And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

13Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

Spotlight on Leadership: Caleb son of Jephunneh

Leader: Caleb son of Jephunneh

Tribe: Judah

Occupation: Spy, Ruler, Ancient of the Exodus

Introductory Scripture: Numbers 13:6 “Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.”

Childhood: We can conclude Caleb was born and raised in Egypt for a period of time. We can understand by reading, he among the multitude participated in the first Passover and crossed the Red Sea. Not much scriptural reference can be gather about Caleb’s personal childhood but through comprehending we know he witnessed the great plagues placed on Egypt

Adulthood:

Out of the multitudes Caleb son of Jephunneh was selected by the Heavenly Father through our beloved leader Moses to spy out the Land of Canaan. “Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them”. With the divine directions laid on his heart Caleb and eleven of his kinsmen scouted the land for forty days and as he hoped the land was flowing in abundance.  Returning with soldierly intel about the land set-ups ten of the tribesmen relayed disheartening news about the people of the land. Until Caleb stilled the people with a profound statement “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” Nevertheless, the other ten spies spewed out more slanders and disquieting news bringing an evil report upon the land. As the congregation lifted their voices in murmurs against Moses, Aaron and weeping that night conspired to make themselves a captain to return to Egypt! With vexation of heart Moses and Aaron fell on their faces, while Joshua son of Nun and Caleb rent their clothes. Caleb and his brotherly companion and soon to be first in command Joshua attempted to reassure the children of Israel with comforting words, but the congregation took upon stones against the brothers! This dissatisfied the Father greatly! After all was said and done the MOST HIGH pronounced the generation 20 years and older will NOT see the land because the slanders brought upon it by them! SAVE JOSHUA and CALEB! 

DEATH???

Caleb lived years after he first spied out the land and was of another spirit, wholly following the LORD GOD of Israel. Because of this he out lived the generation he foreknew. Alongside Joshua son of Nun, he went up into the promised land concurring the southern part of the land driving out the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. Inheriting fields, the city, and villages thereof, and blessed his children therewith his heritage.

YHWH'S GIRLZ: HOW TO.. "BAKED SPAGHETTI"

YHWH'S GIRLZ: HOW TO..."TACO SOUP"

Spotlight on Leadership: SAMUEL

Leader: Samuel the Seer, Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.

Tribe: Levi

Occupation: Judge of Israel, Seer (prophet) of the Most High  

Introductory Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:20 “Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, because I have asked him of the LORD.”

Childhood:  A leader from birth Samuel was born to Elkanah and his wife Hannah. He was a righteous leader, a Nazirite from birth in which he grew long hair, did not drink wine nor any strong drink nor ate moist grapes or dried. No razor came upon his head, he was a holy man according to the Law of the Most High.

He was dedicated to the Most High due to the vow of his mother Hannah. Once barren and desperately wanting a male child with her husband she made this vow declaring if HE would take away the lonesomeness she felt because of the sore provoking of her rival Peninnah (Elkanah’s other wife) who had children; she would give his life to be a man of the God of Israel. Hannah’s fervent prayer to the Father  for a son was so heart felt, she rehearsed it with her lips but made not a sound. Upon ending the prayer she was seen by the Priest Eli who assumed she was drunk asking “How long wilt thou be drunken?” “Put away thy wine from thee!” She replied “No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD, Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of belial, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.”  

So Eli blessed her and confirmed her vow. Hannah named their son Samuel to be styled "asked of God.” His parents kept their word by dedicating him to the Lord after he was weaned, and the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.  Samuel was a young child when he began to prophesy, and his first prophetic message was to the Leader of the Nation of Israel……ELI! The Most High charged him to deliver a message to the High Priest; a message so profound that both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle! Eli’s entire household would be cut off and the priesthood was transferred unto the family of Eleazar his near kinsman, but the glory of Samuel increased more and more because the Most High; giving him the opportunity by experience caused his prophesies to come to pass.

Adulthood: Samuel was a man that practiced righteousness in his days of leadership. Like, a true prophet of the Most High he never required or accepted wages, bribes or rewards from his people. During Israel’s feud with the Philistines they took the ark of YHWH, but not before long returning it because the hand of the Lord was sore upon them. When Israel lamented for the Lord it was Samuel our general encouraging Israel in the strength of the Father. He also gave Godly discourse to "Put away the strange gods and serve the Most High only then would HE be faithful to deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”  Israel did so and gather with Samuel to Mizpeh where the Most High disheartened the Philistines with a peculiar noise. Samuel took a stone and set it between the two cities and called the place Ebenezer stating “Here is the place where Elohim has helped us."

Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life and was the last of the ruling judges. Though extremely displeased at the request of Israel wanting a King, Samuel inquired of the Lord about this matter and when instructed gave with due warning from the Lord of the things that would come to pass anointed Saul son of Kish to be the first king of Israel. ....

Israel’s desire for a king can somewhat be attributed to Samuel’s arbitrary decision to make his sons judges over the people. Joel and Abiah walked not in Samuels’ ways but were lead astray by the very thing their father detested.  Even though Samuel love Saul like his own son he also failed the task of following the commands of the Almighty!

Death: Samuel’s death was a great time of mourning and lamenting in the nation of Israel. He fulfilled all his days as a Nazarite in obedience to the Creator. He was buried in his house in Ramah a city in Ephraim.

Rivers, Brooks, Lakes, and Seas (Bible Trivia)

Spotlight on Leadership: AARON

Leader: Aaron son of Amram, son of Kohath

Tribe: Levi

Occupation: Spokesman for Moses, Progenitor of the High Priesthood  

Introductory Scripture: Exodus 4:14 “And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.”

Our most intimate encounter we as readers experience in the life of Aaron begins with him meeting his younger brother Moses after many years, and with perfect timing! Moses has just received instruction from the Almighty concerning the children of Israel’s bondage in the land of Egypt and before he can talk his way out of it Aaron appears. This reunion quickly becomes the greatest tandem in war of all time! Aaron was transformed from a Hebrew slave to an Israelite leader in the blink of an eye. Being a forerunner in the mission of bringing down the greatest nation of its time wasn’t an easy task. Aaron being raised in the home of his parents unlike his brother spoke Hebrew well and deemed highly capable of the task by the Father.  After much warning, persuading and providing space of repentance while feeling the wrath of the Most High; Egypt was conquered at the Red Sea. Aaron’s role as an orator was fulfilled or was it? 

After many days and nights in the wilderness the children of Israel became restless awaiting Moses who was atop Mount Sinai communing with the Lord. Though baptized by the sea they still possessed the wicked ways of the Egyptians’ in their hearts and coerced Aaron to fashion a molten calf to worship.  The Father instructed Moses to return because of this matter and when Moses confronted Aaron on the matter of creating such a snare to the people  Aaron gives a profound statement “Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.” –Exodus 32:22

After this unfortunate ordeal, Aaron’s leadership qualities were still highly regarded by the Most High. Aaron, his sons, and brethren we set apart and assigned the roles of Priests for the mighty nation of Israel. Aaron and sons especially were given a higher role during the wilderness days to execute special services in the temple. Offering sacrifices such as burnt, grain, peace, and sin offerings to the Lord was significant so much so that when Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu offered incense; which HE commanded them not was put to death but Aaron held his peace. –Leviticus 10

The Levites "Kept the charge of the tabernacles of testimony" Num. 1:53 they had no territory of their own and were dispersed among the other tribes. Their emblem was the ephod of the High Priest on which were engraved, upon precious stones, the names of all tribes. "They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law." -Deuteronomy 33:10  The office of High Priest spanned more than 1,200 years. 

After much service to the children of Israel Aaron was called to be gathered unto his people atop Mount Hor. Prohibited to enter into the land because he rebelled against the word of the Lord at the water of Meribah, Moses Aaron and Eleazar went up Mt Hor in the sight of the congeration where he was stripped of his priestly robes and they were passed to his son Eleazar. And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel. -Numbers 20:29

"Sabbath 101"

Shalom, I pray this article finds everyone in good spirits. I wanted to take a moment to deal with the many questions that are asked by newly repented Israelites about the Sabbath and also deal with confusion as it pertains to doctrines that concern the Sabbath.

"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy." ~ Exodus 20:8

Remember
zakar  (zaw-kar')

to mark (so as to be recognized), i.e. to remember; by implication, to mention

the sabbath
shabbath  (shab-bawth')

intermission, i.e (specifically) the Sabbath -- (+ every) sabbath.

day
yowm  (yome)

a day (as the warm hours),

to keep it holy
qadash  (kaw-dash')

to be (causatively, make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or morally).

We must in our repentance understand that a lot of the things that we would normally do we just CAN NOT do those things anymore. Period!  As a newly repentant Israelite or an Israelite that has known their heritage and laws for some time it is our duty to deal with the scriptures "as they are written" we can not make up things or break the commandments to make our life more in tune with worldliness or to make us more comfortable.  Examples of this include going to see our family or friends on Sabbath that are not repentant well knowing they are cooking, working, and speaking about things that are inappropriate for us to speak about according to the scriptures. We should not be gossiping about other family members reminiscing about our wickedness or anything else that is contrary to sound doctrine. We should not be helping family or friends move, shop or any other thing that is prohibited according to the scripture. We should not be around Israelites that do not keep the laws as they are written.

"Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:"

Exodus 20 :9-10

Question: Is it okay to clean up your house on the Sabbath vacuuming, dish washing (big job), dusting, moping, etc

Answer : NO

If the scripture is telling you to do no servile work therein why would you be cleaning your house (cleaning is servile work)? Now if you spill something on your floor you do not have to wait to the end of the Sabbath to get it up. Use wisdom. To avoid having excessive dishes and cups in the house on the Sabbath purchase paper plates and cups to only be used on the Sabbath. 

Question: Can I and or my family go to the park on Sabbath. 

Answer: Yes

There is nothing wrong with you and your family going to the park on the Sabbath day for a picnic or something of that nature. Be sure to take everything you need with you because you are still prohibited from buying that includes paying for parking or partaking in anything that will cause someone else to have to work to help you or your family on the Sabbath.  For this reason, many Israelites decide to stay home and away from public places on the Sabbaths with the exception Teaching or convocation with other Israelites.



Question: Can married couples engage in sex on the Sabbath?
Answer: Yes & No 
This question comes with a yes and a no. Reason being, a married couple has to decide if they are going to abstain from sex as a couple (see 1st Corinthians 7:5) it is not a one-way street. Isaiah 58:13 is commonly used to say there can be no sex on the Sabbath or anything done that you take pleasure in. Isaiah used the word pleasure and for many this is misinterpreted because with our current degenerative condition sex is what drives many. Our forefathers and mothers were not sex crazed maniacs like many of our people are today. Our forefathers and mothers had different pleasures (see Deuteronomy 14:26). You must examine yourselves to know what you should and should not be doing on the Sabbath in addition to above commandments. Example: It is a pleasure for me to study scriptures so should I stop studying on the Sabbath or I really enjoy eating fruit so should I stop eating fruit as well.  If you keep the script in its proper context It is speaking of buying, cooking, selling. and working. These are things that we take pleasure in that are already prohibited. Also going to school is another thing we abstain from on the Sabbath.  The more you study the scriptures the easier it is to understand what THE FATHER requires of you. Exodus 20:8-10 tells us what can't be done in the Sabbath. Isaiah is saying the same thing he is simply calling the things prohibited in Exodus "pleasures".  Now if sex is one of those things that you seem to stumble on continually embrace THE MOST HIGH GODS Holy
Sabbath to help you. That goes for anything in your life that seems to come before the laws of GOD.

You can not look on the laws of GOD and read them and add your own meaning. The law of the Sabbath is clear. DO NOT tempt THE FATHER because it will not go well for you. 

Question: Do I have to convocate(gather) with other Israelites on the Sabbath?
Answer: YES 
"Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an HOLY CONVOCATION; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings." ~Leviticus 23:3

Question: Can I travel on the Sabbath?
Answer: YES
Traveling on the Sabbath is just fine, you do have to convocate but remember, try to stay in a good range where you don't have to stop and by gas or oil or anything like that. Buying is still prohibited.

Now we are aware that some organizations that say they are Israelites put burdens on their congregation members to sit in buildings for 8-12  hours (or more) on the Sabbath.  That is not biblical. Convocation does not have a time stamp on it. This type of burden makes brothers and sisters despise the Sabbaths and this is not good. The leaders of Israel have put many things before our people to cause them to stumble, but in your understanding remember convocation is a holy gathering, and you do not have to sit somewhere 12 hours to keep the law of convocation. Now if you want to be in a place that long that is your choice but, the Sabbath is a day of rest so if you're not getting any rest you may need to evaluate how you observe the Sabbath. If no one is around you try to get online with other believers until someone is in your area.
Question : How many people need to be at a holy convocation
Answer: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." `Matthew 18:20

So Christ says "gathered together in my name"  that means  " gathered under the law"

 Now with that being said if you are the kind of person that doesn't like to be around other Israelites and make every excuse not to convocate on the Sabbath you err not knowing the scriptures as the book of the law says : 
"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;" ~Romans 12:10
You must prefer each other and if you don't want to be around each other your spirit is not right. Period! If you have a problem with a brother or sister just let them know. Learn how to resolve problems with each other under the law. Being anti-social isn't going to help you in your walk nor does THE FATHER look favorably on you for it.  Many of our people have had such a bad experience with camps or church or religious organizations that they don't want to gather around Israelites anymore. That is okay that you don't want to be apart of and organization but breaking the Sabbath is not. HOLY CONVOCATION IS A COMMANDMENT.

Though the law of the Sabbath is very straight forward I simply wanted to deal with a few things that seem to cause division in Israel. I hope this helps you in understanding the Sabbath and if there is anything that you don't understand please email us at yhwhsgirlz12@gmail.com or lawlifeschool@gmail.com
