A Great Miracle Happened There: Re: I love your articles!

Well, I would love to be a Jewish philosopher, Sylvia, but alas I can only say I am saved which is all and everything. But I would say that, yes, Hanukah is a form of spiritual thanksgiving because it has been said that without Hanukah, there may never have been a Jewish community in the land of Israel, into which Messiah Jesus was born over a century later. Divine Providence saved the Jewish people through God's chosen helper, Judah Maccabee. Since history repeats itself, there will be another future miracle, and another future temple cleansing for the Jews to give thanks. I believe the miracle was a sign to the people of that time, but can be carried over today since there is clearly another Antiochus Epiphanes on today's horizon in the form of Al-Qaida. We don't seem to have miracles today as in Biblical days, but a miracle will happen. God's word is clear that the Jewish feasts and thanksgivings will never end.
