Temple Mount Faithful Hanukkah Demonstration

Three exciting events and demonstrations of The Temple Mount Faithful Movement on the 8th day of Hanukkah in Modi’in, the old city of Jerusalem, and on the Temple Mount

On the eighth day of Hanukkah, Monday 2nd of Tevet 5766 (2nd January 2006), the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement will perform three events. We shall gather ourselves at 9 a.m. that day in the parking place of Binyanei Haumah in the entrance of Jerusalem. From there we will travel by bus to the tombs of the Maccabees which are located in Modi’in in the ancient area where the Maccabees lived and started their revolt against the Greeks. From Modi’in we shall return to Jerusalem and demonstrate in the old city of Jerusalem and then march to the Temple Mount.

This important event will occur 2173 years after the great historical uprising of the Maccabees against the Hellenistic Greek Empire which controlled the land of Israel. The Greeks placed their idol in the Holy of Holies in the Temple in Jerusalem and desecrated it terribly. They tried to force their pagan faith and culture on the Jews in the Land of Israel in a very cruel way. They used to go from city to city and from village to village and place the idol in their midst and to force the Jews to bow to it and to eat pork.

Most Jews, especially in the big cities were strongly under the impact of the Hellenistic faith and culture after years of cruel subjugation to the Greeks. The Jews lost their land, their independence, and their identity. They were in terrible danger of losing their national existence as the people of the G–d of Israel. However, the Greeks did not understand or appreciate how strong the godly spirit of some of the faithful Jewish people was who still survived in the villages of the country area.

The revolt of the Maccabees, a small minority against a big majority of the greatest empire of that time started in a small village, 20 miles from Jerusalem, called Modi’in. When the Greeks came to the village and forced the Jews to bow to the idol that they placed on the alter which they built there and forced them to eat pork G–d raised his faithful messenger. It was Mattityahu the Hashmonai, the High Priest, the father of the Maccabe family, that created the great Maccabe revolution and revolt and in the name of the G–d of Israel defeated the greatest empire of that time, the Greeks. He called: “Those who are with G–d will come with me”. He killed the Greek soldiers, destroyed their alter and the idol, and burned the pork.

The Maccabees started an heroic revolt which its goal was to liberate the land of Israel and to throw out from the land the Greek rule and their big army and to save the Jewish identity of the nation from the Hellenistic influence. Their main goal was to first liberate the head, the heart and the soul of the Jewish people where the G–d of Israel dwells: the Temple, the Temple Mount and Jerusalem. After very difficult battles by a small minority against a big army that the Greeks sent again and again against the Maccabees they defeated the Greek armies, liberated Jerusalem and all the land, purified the Temple, and renewed the worship to the G–d of Israel. It was the G–d of Israel who fought with the Maccabees and gave them the great victory exactly as in the time of Gideon. Then the Maccabees made their godly national struggle against the Hellenists Jews who were the national majority and renewed the faith in the G–d of Israel, His Word and culture among the Jewish people who became faithful to their eternal G–d and creator, the G–d of Israel. The Maccabees saved the Jewish people from losing their G–d, His Holy Temple, Jerusalem the eternal capital of the G–d and people of Israel and the land of Israel that gave G-d them in an eternal covenant.

Israel is now in a very similar and critical time in our history. Israel is surrounded by so many enemies, the Arab Islamic world who want to destroy her and to rob from her the land that G–d gave only to Israel forever and for a godly purpose. A very strong pressure is coming from all the world, especially from the west and the United Nation organization to give away the main biblical parts of the land and the heart and soul of the Jewish people, the Temple Mount and Jerusalem to the foreign and cruel enemies and terrorists, so called “Palestinians”. All of this is coming in a time of weakness of leadership in Israel while so many Israelis are under strong influence from western secular culture.

The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement decided like the Maccabees to again answer the call of the G–d of Israel and the Maccabees and the call of Mattityahu the Hashmonai: “Those who are with G–d will come with me”. This is a godly and heroic struggle to liberate the Temple Mount to purify the holy hill of G–d from Arab Islamic desecration, to rebuild the Temple and to consecrate it to the name of the G–d of Israel so that He can dwell there. The Faithful Movement decided to liberate Jerusalem from Arab Islamic and international pressure and to liberate all parts of the land of Israel which are under Arab Islamic and foreign control. The Faithful Movement decided to save the godly identity of Israel and to again make Israel to be a biblical nation with a biblical mission faithful only to the G–d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and to His Word and His Law. This is the same battle as the Maccabees and like the Maccabees we shall win together with the G–d of Israel this critical godly battle.

The exciting godly events that the Faithful Movement will hold on Hannukah will be in this context and an important stage of the heroic campaign of the end-time vessel of G–d. When we shall come in the morning to the tombs of the Maccabees, we shall swear faithfulness to the godly heritage of the Maccabees. We shall light the Maccabees menorah and torch and after this special ceremony we shall run with the torch of the Maccabees, carrying their heritage to Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. It will be through the same way of the mountains of Bait Heron where the Maccabees made their main battles against the Greeks on their way to liberate the Temple Mount and Jerusalem .In the middle of the plaza of the Jaffa Gate in the old city of Jerusalem we shall demonstrate against the founding of a foreign, terror and anti-godly so called “Palestinian” State in the midst of the holy Land of the G–d and people of Israel which will desecrate the Name of G–d and His Covenant with His people Israel. We shall reject the foreign pressure which is coming from the whole world to divide the land of Israel. The chairman of the movement Gershon Salomon will warn especially President Bush of the U.S.A., the European Union and the U.N. organization from putting pressure on Israel to found a so called “Palestinian” State in Israel. He will tell them in the name of the G–d of Israel that His judgement upon them, which has already started, is soon to come on all of them. Then we shall light again in this place the Channukah menorah with the torch of the Maccabees which we shall bring from their tombs.

From Jaffa gate we shall march in the old streets of the old city to the Temple Mount where we will light the Hannukah menorah with the torch of the Maccabees. We shall swear faithfulness to the G–d of Israel, His Word, and to the eternal heritage of faith and way of life that He gave to His people Israel. We shall swear to continue our godly campaign to rebuild the house of G–d in our lifetime. Gershon will call on the government of Israel to obey the word of G–d to His people Israel, to follow the godly heritage of the Maccabees and to immediately rebuild the Temple and to make it as G–d commanded us a house of prayer, worship and love for Israel and all nations (Isaiah 56).

This event will take place in a very critical time of birth pains of redemption of the people and the land of Israel, like it was in the time of the Maccabees. Everyone should know that despite the critical events which are happening in Israel now, the land and the people of Israel are in the middle of the prophetic godly time of redemption. The pains are just the last stage before the complete redemption of the people and the land of Israel that will open the door before the redemption of all the world and mankind. Like the whole world, the leadership of Israel is unfortunately blind to understand and to accept this. The historical task of the Faithful Movement is to open the eyes of the leadership of Israel and the entire world, to follow the word of the G–d of Israel, and to rebuild His house so that He, His values, Word, Laws, and right way of life will dwell among His people Israel and among His creation all over the world. We shall never stop our historical godly campaign, as G–d expects us to do, until it comes to pass in the life of our generation that needs this revolution more than at any time in the past and G–d will be with us as He was with the Maccabees and our forefathers. In G–d we trust!
