Day 1 --The server candle flame died out before day 1 candle. There is an imitation to light but when tested it can not stand up to the truth; Because false light is not the truth. The server candle is the middle candle of the menorah. The purpose of the server candle is to light all the other candles. in this comparison of spiritual symbolism we can go back to mark 5 The parable of sowing seeds into good ground. If we are not careful of the ground we choose we might just end up with false light. in other words there can only be one light as the word says i am the way the truth and the life John 14:6. Also John 8:12 "I AM the light of the world"
There can only be one light
check your light if your server candle or your light source burns out before time. Ask the question ,am I standing on good ground (Mark 4).
Day 2-- the flame of the other candles was like the server candle's flame and burned unusually still and straight up with one accord. How beautiful and peaceful it is when God's people are in unity by his spirit. The goal is to bring all into the unity of the Lord's faith; not a religion but his word. This is what the scripture teaches "every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess Yeshua is LORD." NEVER MIND WITH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
Day 3--- The 2nd candle waned and appeared to be diminished but rose up again and again 2 cor 12: 9- 10 " my strength is made perfect in weakness"
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
Day 4 and 5--- There was silence amongst the candles
The scripture came to my mind i am the author and finisher of your faith "Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith" kjv Hebrew 12:2. Just as the first light continued to burn so is our faith even when we can not see on other days. The scriptures also say he that begun a good work in you will bring it to completion. never the less when we can not see, we are to remain faithful,we are to remain in the Lord's miracle oil. DO NOT be weary in well doing. At times hardship and trials can be so extreme that even Yeshua on the cross said "Lord why did thou forsake me?". However, in reality the Lord will never leave you or forsake you. Our job is to preserver and not to turn back. A warrior can not please God without faith. When observing the 4th and 5th candle one can see that they are located on either side of the server candle or (YESHUA). Does this sound familiar? what two people were on either side of Yeshua on the cross? Two guilty people were on either side of Yeshua but one of them choose FAITH.
We begin to learn faith on the 4th night but on the 5th night we learn that he teaches and is faithful. We can say he walks with us in trials.
