Shalom to All,
We at Alpha and Omega Ministries want to say how thankful we are for each and every one of you. We consider you family and thank the Lord for the Light of Yeshua that you carry to the world. It is a joy to be working with you to take His Word out to people who are hungry and to others who don’t yet know the Light and Love of Yeshua! In these times of war and chaos, it is His Light and Love and His Peace that carries us all. What a joy it is to take Him to a needy world.
The calendar now turns from Kislev to the month of Tevet. Tevet begins on a note of great hope and light as we light the last two candles in celebration of the great miracle of Hanukkah on the 1st and 2nd of Tevet. Hanukkah celebrates victory of the righteous Jews in Israel who fought the Seleucid army to preserve the observance of Torah and to be free to worship G-d! The great miracle of their victory and the amazing miracle of the one flask of clean oil found in the desecrated Temple, only enough to burn in the Menorah for one day, miraculously burned for eight days. Those eight days of light remind us of the eight names of the Messiah that come from *Isaiah 9: 5-6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. He is always the Light in dark times.
