And the oil did not run out.
A great miracle happened there.
And the Oil will not run out.
And your Oil will not run out.
Rock of Ages, let our song
Praise Your saving power;
You amidst the raging foes,
Were our sheltering tower!
Furious, they assailed us,
But Your arm availed us.
And Your word, broke their sword
When our own strength failed us
Children of the Maccabees,
Whether free or fettered,
Wake the echoes of the songs,
Where you may be scattered!
Yours the message cheering,
That the time is nearing,
Which will see, each one free,
Tyrants disappearing!"
Rock of Ages, Gustav Gottheil
Then came Hanukkah; it was winter in Jerusalem. Yeshua was walking in the Temple around Solomon’s Colonnade.
John 10:22-23, MJFB
23 And Jesus was walking in Solomon's Porch in the temple area.
24 So the Jews surrounded Him and began asking Him, How long are You going to keep us in doubt and suspense? If You are really the Christ (the Messiah), tell us so plainly and openly.
25 Jesus answered them, I have told you so, yet you do not believe Me [you do not trust Me and rely on Me]. The very works that I do by the power of My Father and in My Father's name bear witness concerning Me [they are My credentials and evidence in support of Me].
26 But you do not believe and trust and rely on Me because you do not belong to My fold [you are no sheep of Mine].
27 The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater and mightier than all [else]; and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are One.
31 Again the Jews brought up stones to stone Him.
32 Jesus said to them, My Father has enabled Me to do many good deeds. [I have shown many acts of mercy in your presence.] For which of these do you mean to stone Me?
33 The Jews replied, We are not going to stone You for a good act, but for blasphemy, because You, a mere Man, make Yourself [out to be] God.
John 10:23-33 AMP
