Part 3: The Christmas and Antichrist Connection THE CHRISTMAS CONNECTION Now that you know the story of Hanukkah, how it was celebrated in the first century by our Messiah, and how we’ve used it to discover when He was actually born, we can turn our attention to the Christmas part of this story and unveil […]

Hanukkah Traditions We’ve learned much in the first three parts of this series.
