ZEUS DEDICATION on DEC 25th !!
The Essenes were one of the three main sects in Judea, established in 167 BC during the tumultuous years when Antiochus Epiphenes of Syria took over Jerusalem. In 168 BC Antiochus had carried out an abomination of desolation by transforming Ezra’s temple to worship Jupiter and Zeus instead of the Jewish God.
The people of Judea revolted and overthrew Antiochus. The Hasmonian family, or Maccabees, now in charge, rededicated the temple in 165 BC on the same day Antiochus had put statues of Zeus and Jupiter on the temple sanctuary altar – December 25th.
According to the Talmud, only one container of pure olive oil could be found, but miraculously it burned for the whole 8 days of the Feast of Rededication of Hanukkah, which commemorates this ABOMINATION of DESOLATION event.
So moving the birth of Christ to December 25th from Tabernacles Day full moon in the autumn to Hanukkah is a Jewish slap in the Christians face carried out by the new sun-worshipping Catholic Emperor Constantine.
The end of Hanukkah 8 days after December 25th, January 1st, is now New Years Day, which was moved from the beginning of spring (the first new moon of the year).
