Did Christ celebrate Hanukkah? According to the fresh Testament explanation of Hanukkah, the feast of the cleansing of the temple of Jerusalem after it was desecrated by pagan cults, she commemorated the events that foretold the coming of the Messiah, the fresh Temple, destroyed and rebuilt in 3 days as a sign of the redemption of mankind's sins. erstwhile the Messiah came, therefore, all the feasts and rites of preaching His coming has lost its meaning, for it is unreasonable to look ritually at the future, which has already become the present.
Hence Christ had no reason to celebrate Hanukkah--and this is besides indicated by the Gospel, simply mentioning that he was wandering in the temple that day. Then, as discussed by the Jews, he emphasized his Messianic identity, clearly suggesting that he no longer attend to the ceremonies taking place in a dead building, after which shortly there will be no stone left on the stone, but follow him who, as an indestructible temple, is the giver of eternal life. In response, he had only attempted to capture and stoning, which clearly confirmed the words he had made a minute earlier to his interlocutors: “You are not of my sheep.”
In conclusion, Christ did not celebrate Hanukkah, but those who inactive celebrate her are “not of His sheep” being spiritual heirs to those who accused They raised stones against him. Quod erat demonstrationum.

As all kingdom that is internally divided is ravaged, it is essential to look with assurance and tranquility at the minute erstwhile the postcomuna with its small cyclicalism and neocommun with its abiding claimivity completely and yet neutralize each another in a suicide fight for who is entitled to carry the banner of institutionalized desire, theft and parasitism. Let their common defeat be the final triumph of all those who have never reached for or desired another.

The key to knowing the insignificant atmosphere of the present times is not their peculiar cruelty, sleaze or insulting, but their exceptional tandem: their cruelty is so kitschy that fewer are able to genuinely decision them, their sleaze so juvenile that fewer are able to truly stumble them, and their insulting so embarrassing that fewer are able to truly bulge.
In another words, unlike all the earlier “dark ages”, the qualitative poorness of the present time is so unexposed that it does not make any solid backdrop from which 1 could successfully bounce back to emergence to the better. Thus, only those for whom it is simply a phenomenon completely timeless and independent from the present circumstances can find a akin point of support: always the same true, nourishing and indicating a reliable way to the eventual goal.
