Hanukkah marks our devotion to universal justice. It is celebrated for 8 night starting from nightfall on the on the 24th of the 9th Month (Kislev).
Hanukkah commemorates the defeat of the proto-Antichrist Epiphanius by the Maccabees symbolising the victory of the Edah of Thyatira at the start of the Millenial Advent "Day of Darkness".
The suffering of the righteous martyrs in the story bares witness to the necessary reality of justice following death. The nature of this concept was never made so explicit in the Septuagint and marks the beginning of a new religious era based around hope in life after death.
The books of Maccabees are the first books of the New Noahide Testament according to Messianic Noahide Judaism. The Messianic Liturgical cycle begins on the first Sunday of Advent which is usually at the end of the 9th Month.
The Oral Torah tells us that even if there is not enough oil for the rededication, it will still be enough. The feast of rededication therefore becomes a Yartzeit lighting a candle in hope of life after death. If a righteousness is not rewarded in this life but is allowed to suffer, then likewise unpunished wickedness will not be allowed to escape justice either.
