Chanukah Is About Fighting Hedonism - The Survival of the World is at Stake
12/02/2018

Posted on 12/02/2018 10:14:56 PM PST by Yomin Postelnik

There are different times, some more connected with certain levels of service, and certain actions, than others. This generation and this time seems to have the most in common with Chanukah. Millions of Jews have never even been conceived, let alone born, because of the blatant hedonism that infects and poisons the world. Tens or hundreds of millions of people from all nations have never come into being for the same reason.

This year, more and more have dedicated themselves to the purpose of trying to destroy whatever remnant is left. As in the times of the 1st Temple and as in the times of Chanukah and the 2nd Temple, many Jews have joined them in their despicable task. As in those times, they will fail and now, as we prepare for the Final Redemption, they will also see that there is a Master of the World, and that this Master can and will show who creates all life, who gives all human life free choice (so that Jew and Gentile can earn righteous and eternal reward), who punishes those who attack this remnant and who truly has the final say in everything.

If today is most like Chanukah, which every thinking person can quickly realize is the case, then it seems to make sense to follow the advice of our Sages, whose guidance is meant for all generations. They relay that after the initial battles, the Jews under the Chashmonaim made a treaty with Rome, in order to rid ourselves of the Greeks. Our Sages speak highly of this treaty (we know that Rome became far worse hundreds of years later, but that was because we forgot that it was G-d who was saving us and the treaty was only G-d providing us with a natural instrument to do so).

Now, there is a difference. Our Sages foretell that these last days before the fullness of the Redemption is revealed will be a time in which we can only (but surely and completely) rely on G-d Almighty. Yet if there are allegiances that can be made in this fight, we should not only pursue them, but doing so is an integral part of helping the world, and each and every nation therein specifically, to come to and recognize G-d.

Also, just like Chanukah, 5 people can hold back an army. The war is a spiritual war. In any case, no matter what kind of war, we can win against great odds, because in truth, the Maker of all things and Real One who runs all, is the only One with any say. And unlike Chanukah, the world is ready for and needs this message. In fact, the main survival of the Jewish People and of the world at large is dependent upon it.

Standing up for what’s right and fighting for it shouldn’t be the MO of hedonist rats only. We can and must fight back.

Therefore... To begin with, in the spirit of Chanukah, I’d like to begin with a boycott of that cesspool called the NY Post, may their memory be obliterated, which devotes page after page to trying to destroy religious life, religious Jewish life and all decent general life, in all of its facets. Hedonism is far more of a threat to this nation than any other threat. Accordingly, it makes sense to work with and alert any concerned Christian and Muslim groups to do the same. Start with having each call every major advertiser, then work your way down.

Let us work together to save the future for all people.

And who knows, maybe everyone working together, Jew, Christian and Muslim alike, to protect society, will end up being a catalyst to world peace. No thanks to the above listed disgrace of a rag, but yes, much good can come out of this.....

If it’s more conceiving and birthing you want, then it seems like hedonism, the pursuit of pleasure and sensual self-indulgence, is what you’d want more, rather than less, of.

Oh, and the New York Post is one of the very few conservative-leaning newspapers in the country. I like ‘em.

They’re not conservative. They’re economically conservative. If there are no morals and no national values, then pretty soon there’s no economy. The Post especially is the biggest cheerleader for Ancient Greece and Rome-style hedonism. Btw, committed couples make and raise children. The hedonism of today leads to copulating with robots. More kids yes, and more committed homes to raise them. More R2D2s? No thanks.

Btw, for those who don’t understand why the Post, the NY Post has reverted true to form as a sensationalist piece of garbage. It pretends to be conservative and then attacks the President with glee. It’s also a smut peddling rag that seeks to actively defame any truly held religious thoughts.

Cases in point over the past day alone:

https://nypost.com/2018/12/02/dems-say-americans-have-proof-moscow-had-leverage-on-trump/

https://nypost.com/2018/12/02/homeless-person-camping-near-trump-jr-s-secret-service-detail/ (Even the MSM would think twice before blowing all credibility, albeit not for long).

Coverage of a man who wants to force mandatory homo studies and disdain for religion, even in private schools, and is open about wanting the government to take kids from religious homes that go against this “My Two Mommies - Comparative Religions” garbage, Yes, Naftali Moster wants to take kids from religious Jewish, Christian and Muslim homes, has told his friends as much and is now somehow their Paper Pet. https://nypost.com/2018/12/02/orthodox-parents-risk-being-shunned-for-pulling-kids-from-yeshivas/

More sensationalized bunk with the purpose of destabilizing the administration. https://nypost.com/2018/12/02/mattis-putin-tried-to-meddle-in-the-midterm-elections/

Time to wake up... They know very well what they’re doing.

(Notice that all headlines are less than 48 hours old.)

Chanukah is for (re) dedication to God.

It is not for any social justice purpose per se', but a re-evaluation of one's relationship with God.

If you find you go from liberal to conservative in the process it's only a natural result of Godly thinking.


Happy Chanukah

“...maybe everyone working together, Jew, Christian and Muslim alike, to protect society, will end up being a catalyst to world peace.”

Jews and Christians can work for world peace together because Jews and Christians both worship the God of our fathers.

Muslims do not worship God; they worship Allah, a satanic manifestation that commands them to kill in his name and to dominate the world by fire and sword.

There are no “three Abrahamic faiths”.

Having a family and not aborting babies is hedonism?

Who knew?

One of the world's greatest distortions is the notion that Chanukkah is a celebration of religious subjectivism and modern notions of "religious freedom." These didn't even exist in that world. Furthermore the Chanukkah story took place in a thoroughly Theocratic context. It had nothing to do with prejudice against a "minority group" or the "right" of anyone to worship anything or nothing. It is not the celebration of the day Thomas Jefferson received the Bill of Rights on Mt. Rushmore.

The Theocratic nature of ancient Judaism has been thoroughly forgotten. People seem to think that the Jews have never been anything other than leftist political dissidents. Some people have absolutely no Biblical sentimentalism whatsoever.

Chanukkah was never meant to be a celebration of secularism. But that's what ignorant people have made it.

“There are no “three Abrahamic faiths”.”

Nor will there be any “world peace” until Jesus rules the nations with an iron sceptre (Psalm 2)! That has none of the flavor of touchy-feely “world peace” dreamed up by unbelievers.

Hey.. Sensual elf-indulgence does not mean begetting. Most of our fellow "human" "beings" sensually do their thing while doing everything hell and cunning can provide, to ensure there will be no living child.

TYPO.

I mean "self indulgence" -- not "elf indulgence."

I don't think Santa is into that.
