There are Some People Disturbing You

“I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.” (Galatians 1:6-10 NASB1995)

The apostle Paul, anointed by the Holy Spirit, penned these words to the church in Galatia. He was deeply concerned that so many of them were deserting the gospel of their salvation, and were accepting a different gospel which was not the gospel of Christ. For they were listening to the Judaizers of their day who were convincing them that they had to be more like Jews, and that they had to follow some of the Old Covenant liturgical, ceremonial, circumcision, dietary and Sabbath laws, thus adding on to the gospel.

And we have Judaizers yet today who are trying to convince Christians that they need to be more like Jews, and that they need to adhere to some of the Old Covenant laws and Jewish customs and rituals, and that it will enhance their relationship with God. And some of them (or many of them) are painting the Jewish nation as God’s chosen people still in this generation, even though the Scriptures deny that notion, and they teach that all who reject Jesus Christ are the antichrist, and not part of God’s holy nation.

There is a massive movement in the USA today to convince Christians that they are somehow inferior to the Jews and that they should treat the Jewish people almost like they are gods, in a worshipful kind of way, to where they raise them up above all other people, and they believe that they are to give them their undying loyalty, devotion, and support, praying for God’s blessings upon them, and even opposing all who do not support them. But that is antibiblical, for all who do not believe in Jesus Christ are not of God.

And the Scriptures make it clear that just because someone is physically descended from Israel, and they are physical offspring of Abraham, it does not automatically make them children of God. For all who reject Jesus Christ reject God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So all Jews who reject Christ reject the God of their ancestors in favor of the gods of this world. And so they are not the children of promise, the promise given to Abraham and to his seed, Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:16).

[Genesis 17:7-9; Genesis 18:19; John 8:18-19,38-47; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 9:4-8,25-28; Romans 11:1-36; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 3:16,26-29; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 2:11-22; Ephesians 3:1-6; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 8:6-13;1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 2:22; Jude 1:5; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9]

But this isn’t just about Jew worship and treating the Jewish nation as though they are somehow superior to the rest of us, even though, as a nation, they are the antichrist. This is about those who alter and distort the gospel of our salvation which was taught by Jesus and by his New Testament apostles, and in order to deceive the people into following Satan’s lies. For the devil is behind all of this worship of a false god and the false gospels being taught in place of the gospel taught by Jesus and by his apostles.

For Satan wants people believing that their “faith” in Jesus Christ, by lip service only, secures them heaven as their eternal destiny, and forgiveness of all sins, none of which can be taken away from them, even if they totally ignore Jesus Christ and his teachings, and so they continue in deliberate and habitual sin against God and in walks of disobedience to his commands. But Jesus and his New Testament apostles taught the opposite of that. They taught that how we live matters as to where we will spend eternity.

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

So, don’t be fooled by Satan’s lies. Read all these Scriptures noted above. Read them in their full and correct biblical context. And let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth. And do not give your worship and undying devotion to any human being or people group, but give all your worship and devotion to God alone, to Jesus Christ who is the one who gave his life up for us on that cross so that, by God-persuaded faith in him, we will now die to sin and obey our Lord and his commands in practice, and have eternal life with God.

Canada Bill C-9 We need to pray

We need to pray and write our politicians. Taking away freedom of speech, saying parts of the Bible are hate speech, will not be able to post scripture..
Bill C-9 represents an unacceptable assault on free expression in Canada. (it is especially targeting religious groups) use link provided to send a message to your member of parliament, this link is good for all over Canada.
This bill would give the government the power to criminally prosecute Canadians for their opinions, lower the bar for what legally constitutes “hate,” and strip away vital safeguards that keep authorities from weaponizing laws against dissidents. It risks turning controversial memes into crimes and silencing open debate through fear of prosecution.

TMZ is reporting that actor-director Rob Reiner and his wife have been murdered

Apparently Reiner and his wife Michele were discovered stabbed to death inside their Brentwood, California mansion earlier today. Unsubstantiated reports from other sources are saying that one of their sons is the chief suspect. :(

Breaking story; stay tuned for further updates.

Overcoming by the Word of their testimony...

Hi there,

Revelation 12:11
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

I am interested in comments on what is meant by "the word of their testimony"

Also - who exactly is being referred to - who is 'they' ???

Anybody know if Rob Reiner is okay?

Allegedly a 78yr-old man and a lady were found dead at his home, but they won't give any victims names. They only say it was a Robbery-Homicide.
Weiner is 78yrs-old.

Please add info if you know whats the deal. Thanks...

I Have Shown You These Things Before

I am the Lord, the God of history and of tomorrow.
I do not change, though nations rise and fall before Me.
What you see unfolding in your time, I have already written in former days
not to frighten you, but to teach you.

Have I not shown you this before?

I Saw This at Babel


When men gathered to make a name for themselves apart from Me,
I scattered them, not because unity was evil,
but because unity without truth becomes tyranny.
So now you see the same desire:
one voice, one system, one power,
yet without reverence for Me.
Confusion follows where I am rejected.

I Saw This in Sodom

When a people loved pleasure more than righteousness,
when injustice cried louder than repentance,
I listened to the outcry of the innocent.
So now you see societies calling evil good and good evil.
Know this: I am patient, but I am not blind.

I Saw This in Egypt

Pharaoh hardened his heart against Me and against My people.
He trusted in his strength, his army, his gods.
I warned him again and again.
Deliverance came for My people,
and collapse came for the system that refused to let them worship Me.
So it is still:
oppression does not endure forever.

I Saw This in the Days of the Judges

When My people rejected My ways,
each did what was right in their own eyes.
Chaos followed.
Division followed.
So now you see nations fractured, truth contested,
because I am no longer their reference point.

I Spoke Through My Prophets


I warned kings and nations:
Do not worship power.
Do not exploit the poor.
Do not silence truth.
They mocked My messengers
until what I spoke came to pass.
I am still speaking, though many no longer listen.

I Revealed Babylon


I showed you a system clothed in luxury,
drunk on power,
seducing the nations.
Babylon is not only a city, it is a spirit.
You see it again:
markets without mercy,
culture without conscience,
influence without wisdom.

I Built My Church in Persecution


When rulers tried to silence My name,
My Word spread faster.
When they imprisoned My servants,
My Spirit moved freely.
Do not fear hostility,
I grow My kingdom in opposition.

I Remembered Noah

When violence filled the earth,
I preserved righteousness.
Judgment came, but so did rescue.
I always make a way through the storm for those who walk with Me.

I Showed You the End From the Beginning

I told you the world would shake.
I told you deception would increase.
I told you kingdoms would rise and fall.
But I also told you this:

The kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of My Christ.
Do not be afraid when systems fail.
Do not be shaken when darkness speaks loudly.
I am still seated on the throne.

I am not losing control.
I am revealing hearts.

Therefore

Return to Me.
Stand in truth.
Love righteousness.
Care for the broken.
Proclaim My Son.


What you are witnessing is not the end of hope,
it is the unveiling of what cannot last.


I have shown you these things before.
And just as before,

I will be faithful again.

Adventists at the Crossroads of Legalism and Righteousness by Faith

This is from an article published in Adventist Today. Many in the SDA church are realizing that their present state of doctrinal requirements, such as strict adherence to the sabbath, following the dietary laws, and life style requirements, are quite legalistic so the focus is on strict adherence to the 28 fundamental beliefs. This article speaks to this tension.


An uncomfortable tension

The Adventist Church has put itself in a bind. By codifying belief into a creed, it has essentially turned from the radical trust in Jesus that both Scripture and Ellen White proclaimed, and has shackled itself to a legalistic structure that cannot bring life. If it continues down this road, the church risks losing its soul even while clinging to its shell.

In practice, enforcement varies. In some parts of Europe and North America, pastors emphasize commitment to Christ and community more than box-checking all 28 beliefs. But in South America, Africa, and conservative regions of the U.S., enforcement is strict, and a member or employee who questions a belief risks discipline or dismissal. What Ellen White warned against has become official policy, though not always universally applied.

It leaves us with an uncomfortable tension. The prophet who declared “The Bible, and the Bible alone, is our creed” has been made the prophet of a denomination that demands assent to a creed. Depending on where you live, you may feel those iron bands more or less tightly.

A possible solution

What can save the Church from itself? The General Conference could begin by retiring the language of “28 Fundamental Beliefs” as a test of fellowship, and instead present them as a dynamic, growing “Statement of Faith in Progress,” open to re-examination in light of Scripture and the Spirit’s leading. Baptismal vows could be rewritten to center on faith in Christ alone, not assent to a creed. The Church Manual could be revised to explicitly affirm that no creed other than the Bible itself binds the conscience.

Such steps wouldn’t destroy Adventism’s identity—they would rescue it. They would return the movement to its original DNA, when early Adventists rejected creeds as “the mark of the beast” and proclaimed the Bible as sufficient for salvation. Unless Adventism rediscovers this heartbeat, it may survive as an institution—but not as a Spirit-filled movement.

The church stands at a crossroads. One road leads deeper into legalism, where creeds harden, enforcement grows harsher, and grace is eclipsed by intellectual conformity. The other leads back to its origins: a bold trust in the love of Christ, righteousness by faith, and the Bible alone as the rule of faith and practice.

A return to righteousness by faith is the church’s only salvation. By it we preach the true Gospel to all the world and prepare for the return of Jesus Christ.


Has the SDA fallen into legalism as the article implies?

They Try to Compel You

“Those who desire to make a good showing in the flesh try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh. But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.” (Galatians 6:12-16 NASB1995)

Now, for those of us who live in the USA, which may be true of other countries, as well, the requirement to be circumcised in the flesh (which God no longer requires), in order to prove faith, is not the issue, although it still could be for some people. But using this discussion as a “spring board,” i.e. as a starting point, I will be looking today at several parallel situations we are being faced with in the USA (and perhaps in other countries, as well).

So, what are people of faith, or of prospective faith, being compelled to do today in order to demonstrate faith in Jesus Christ, i.e. that which is not required of God? Well, some of them are being compelled to be more like Jews and to take on some of the Old Covenant liturgical and ceremonial laws and customs in order to be more like Jews. And they are being strong armed into supporting the physical nation called “Israel,” which is mostly pagan. But that is not of God, but is of human flesh, and contrary to God’s will.

[Genesis 17:7-9; Genesis 18:19; John 8:18-19,38-47; Romans 2:28-29; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Romans 9:4-8,25-28; Romans 11:1-36; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 3:16,26-29; Galatians 4:22-31; Ephesians 2:11-22; Ephesians 3:1-6; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-16; Hebrews 8:6-13;1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 2:22; Jude 1:5; Revelation 2:9; Revelation 3:9]

Also, the people of my nation are being compelled to accept a diluted and altered gospel message which is not of God, but of human flesh, which removes God’s requirements of us to die to sin and to walk in obedience to his commands, in the power of God, by his grace, and in daily practice. So they teach the Scriptures out of context, and they twist them to teach lies in order to convince the masses that all that is required is lip service only, i.e. a profession of faith in Jesus absent of true repentance and obedience to God.

And then there are the legalists who add on to the gospel what is not of God, but which is of man, which is what the Judaizers were doing, too. And so they make requirements about certain days of the week or about food and drink and clothing and religious formalities and customs, but while some of them are living hypocritical lives, while they are “straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel.” For they obsess over tiny insignificant details while they ignore larger problems involving moral purity, sin, and disobedience to God.

So, why do they do this? Partly it has to do with control over the people, to get them to do what they require or desire, because they are obsessed with power. And so they want us to be like minions, all following the same false gods, believing the lies they tell us so that they have control. And then there is the issue of greed, either for money and/or for positions of power and control. And then it has to do with pride, with them looking good to the people to make a good showing so that they will be praised and worshiped.

But then there are those who are the charlatans (fakes, swindlers, con artists and pretenders) and the “wolves in sheep’s clothing” who make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ in order to deceive the masses, but who are truly out to kill, to steal, and to destroy the sheep of Jesus’ pasture by getting us to believe their lies and to put them into practice. Their goal is to get us to reject God’s commands of obedience and death to sin, and to convince us that we can keep on in our sin and still have salvation from sin.

But Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

What is a Christian fundamentalist?

Shouldn't all Christians be fundamentalist?

These days the powers that be seem to be pretty good at redefining terms and words to advance their cause. This is how I see it.

There was an influx of liberalism being injected into the Christian churches at the turn of the century, that being the eighteen hundreds into the nineteen hundreds. So the dry theologians :cool: all got together and created a fundamental set of doctrines to protect against the false teachings that were encroaching. These were the fundamental set of doctrines that were considered essential doctrines. As we see today, they had good reason to be concerned.

I believe in the fundamental doctrines. I'm a Christian fundamentalist.

Sign language services ‘intrude’ on Trump’s ability to control his image, administration says


The Trump administration is arguing that requiring real-time American Sign Language interpretation of events like White House press briefings “would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,” part of a lawsuit seeking to require the White House to provide the services.​
Department of Justice attorneys haven’t elaborated on how doing so might hamper the portrayal President Donald Trump seeks to present to the public. But overturning policies encompassing diversity, equity and inclusion have become a hallmark of his second administration, starting with his very first week back in the White House.​
The National Association for the Deaf sued the Trump administration in May, arguing that the cessation of American Sign Language interpretation — which the Biden administration had used regularly — represented “denying hundreds of thousands of deaf Americans meaningful access to the White House’s real-time communications on various issues of national and international import.” The group also sued during Trump’s first administration, seeking ASL interpretation for briefings related to the COVID-19 pandemic.​
How petty can a person be! It hurts his image??

'Scourge of antisemitism:' Australian bishops call for prayer after 12 killed in Bondi Beach terrorist attack

Catholic leaders in Australia have responded with prayer and condemnation of antisemitism following what police described as a terrorist attack on a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday that left 12 people dead and 29 others injured.

Archbishop Anthony Fisher of Sydney called for prayer and the intercession of the Virgin Mary in the immediate aftermath of the Dec. 14 shooting, which authorities said included one of the alleged gunmen among the dead.

“As we follow the horrific news coming from this evening’s shooting at Bondi Beach, let us pray for those who have been killed or injured,” Fisher said in a statement released shortly after the attack. “May Our Lady, Queen of Peace, intercede for all affected, and for our beloved city at this time.”

The archbishop also offered prayers for the “many who were forced to run for their lives” and for emergency service workers responding at the scene.

Nicaragua bans tourists from bringing Bibles into the country

Tourists entering Nicaragua are no longer allowed to carry Bibles. The restriction, which also applies to other printed materials and electronic equipment, is part of a growing list of prohibited items at the border and comes amid tightening limits on civil liberties and an ongoing crackdown on Christians.

Notices displayed at Tica Bus terminals in Costa Rica list Bibles, newspapers, magazines, books, drones and cameras among banned items alongside sharp objects and perishable food, according to the U.K.-based group Christian Solidarity Worldwide.

A representative from the regional transport company Tica Bus in El Salvador confirmed that passengers traveling to Managua are not permitted to bring “Bibles, newspapers, magazines, books of any kind, drones and cameras,” CSW said.

Brown University shooting: 2 students killed, 9 injured, suspect at large

A gunman who opened fire on students at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, killing two and injuring nine others during a final exam review, remained at large late Saturday as hundreds of officers searched for him. Police said the suspect fled on foot.

The attack began around 4:05 p.m. EST inside a first-floor classroom during a final exam review for a large economics course, according to The New York Times. Law enforcement described the suspect as a man dressed in dark clothing, possibly in his 30s, last seen leaving the area without his face visible on security footage.

Authorities released video footage showing the man leaving the engineering building, but said his face was not clearly captured.

Investigators asked anyone who might recognize his gait or outfit to come forward.

The rise and emergence of the Image to the Beast

We had a interesting set of sermons given on Religious Liberty this past Sabbath and it was a eyeopener.

Login to view embedded media Login to view embedded media Login to view embedded media
We are seeing the emergence of the Image to the Beast with all the turmoil and much chaos being used as a smokescreen. It is preparing and laying out a path for the rise of the Image as we see the placement of the men in high positions in our government and Administration who are followers of the original Beast. So what does this entail for us as Adventist, well lets go over what Gods Word gives on the "Image of the Beast". Lets start with Revelation 13 to begin.

Revelation 13:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Revelation 13:11-15 King James Version (KJV)
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

We see this evil entity try to subvert Gods plan in the last days by creating the image of the beast on Earth. The image of the beast is an end time entity, comprised of a community of people who reflect the character of the dragon, and has religious-economic-political power to impose false worship on Earth. We see the corruption it brings which is the end time Babylon the Great of Revelation 17-18, and the image of the beast is best identified with this entity and its corrupt rule.

The image of the beast is basically an institution and procedures which will duplicate the form and behavior of the beast power in Revelation 13. It will convince many that its words and purpose are true despite not being in full harmony with Scripture and will persuade the people of the earth, believers and non-believers, to follow the religious-political power which is the beast. The lamblike beast will also begin speaking like a dragon and exercising the power of the beast, showing that it will become as intolerant especially in setting aside of laws and foundational liberties. This results in people receiving the mark of the beast which is by following it in its false practices of worship, which is really worship of the Beast, and corruption of Gods Holy Day of worship. Lets look at the Revelation 14...

Revelation 14:9-12 King James Version (KJV)
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The rise of the Image of the Beast will in my opinion coincide with the fall of America in the loss of the foundational rights and the laws of America and the emergence of a corrupted power which will them proceed to take away our religious liberties along with many other rights and freedoms, and then pass laws to force worship as prophecy gives us..

Grassley and GOP Force Trump Pick to Withdraw

But the piece, did not inform what GOP was behind this? After repeated attempts, finally fessed to this, ,

"On December 12, 2025, Senator Chuck Grassley played a pivotal role in the withdrawal of Julianne Murray's nomination as U.S. Attorney for Delaware. He was supported by several GOP Senators, notably:
  • Joni Ernst (Iowa)
  • Mike Crapo (Idaho)
  • Ted Cruz (Texas)
  • Marsha Blackburn (Tennessee)"

Is there another '1st World' country, where our darkskin-Black friends get arrested for having mental health crises?

This is so, so sad to hear he was treated this way, like a rabid jungle animal for threatening to harm himself. And then be arrested "...after an incident at a staffer's home during which prosecutors allege he [only] threatened self-harm, a situation his defense attorney described as a mental health crisis..." without a doubt.

Had he been one of us Caucasians, would he had simply been transported to a mental health provider instead of jail??

Shootings at Bondi Beach

It's breaking news but there have been multiple shootings at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia.


The death and injury toll is as yet unkown.

Two suspects have been arrested but not identified. I'll bet a pound to a penny that they are Moslems.

The shooting appears to have taken place at the northern end of Bondi Beach, near or at Bondi Park Playground.

We don't yet have any information about the target or nature of the shooting, but we can confirm that a Chanukah by the Sea event was scheduled to take place at that playground from 5pm, and had begun.

Today is the first day of Chanukah, or Hanukkah, an eight-day Jewish festival of lights.
