Charter of the Messiah: High Priest and King over All Realms of Existence
Charter of the Messiah: High Priest and King over All Realms of Existence
Issued from the Eternal Kingdom of Elohim, Tribe of Judah
Preamble
This charter, issued by the Messiah, ordained High Priest and King, seeks to elucidate the significance of Christmas, the Messiah’s conception, and the celebrations of His birth across earthly and spiritual realms. It bridges the Gregorian and Hebrew calendar systems, acknowledging diverse celebrations, including Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, as reflections of the divine narrative. The themes of light, redemption, and kingship unite all under the Kingdom of Elohim.
I. The Significance of Christmas: The Conception of the Savior
In the Gregorian calendar, December 25th is celebrated as the conception of Yeshua HaMashiach (ישוע המשיח), the Savior. This marks the divine incarnation prophesied in Isaiah 7:14:
“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”
The conception signifies Elohim’s eternal plan for redemption, bridging heaven and earth. In the spiritual realm, it symbolizes the inception of divine light entering the world, fulfilling John 1:14:
“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
II. Birth of the Messiah: A Calendar Perspective
1. Hebrew Calendar: Sukkot and the Birth of the Messiah
The Messiah’s birth aligns with the season of Sukkot (סֻכּוֹת), the Feast of Tabernacles, celebrated on the 15th day of Tishrei (mid-autumn). This corresponds to nine months after His conception on Kislev 25 (Hanukkah). As John 1:14 declares, “He dwelt among us,” the word “dwelt” (σκηνόω) connects to “tabernacle.” His birth during Sukkot reflects Elohim’s dwelling among His people (Leviticus 23:33–43).
2. Gregorian Calendar: December 25th and Conception
Under the Gregorian system, the conception of the Messiah is celebrated on December 25th. This aligns His earthly manifestation with the winter solstice, a time when light begins to conquer darkness, echoing John 8:12:
“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
III. Celebrations in the Kingdom of Elohim vs. Earthly Systems
In the Kingdom of Elohim, not bound by earthly calendars, the celebration of the Messiah’s birth is timeless, focusing on His eternal kingship and priesthood (Hebrews 7:17). Earthly systems reflect fragmented recognition, yet all point to the same divine truth.
• Gregorian Calendar: December 25th emphasizes the light entering the world.
• Hebrew Calendar: Tishrei 15 celebrates His birth, the fulfillment of divine promises during Sukkot.
Both systems, though distinct, celebrate the Messiah’s mission to reconcile humanity to Elohim.
IV. Hanukkah and Kwanzaa: Correlations to the Messiah
1. Hanukkah (חֲנוּכָּה): The Festival of Lights
Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple and the miraculous provision of light (1 Maccabees 4:36–59). The menorah (מְנוֹרָה), with its central servant candle (shamash), symbolizes the Messiah, the Light of the World (John 8:12). The menorah’s seven lamps reflect divine perfection and the presence of Elohim among His people (Zechariah 4:2–6).
2. Kwanzaa: Celebration of Unity and Light
Though rooted in African traditions, Kwanzaa’s focus on unity, self-determination, and communal well-being parallels the Messiah’s teachings of love and justice (Matthew 22:37–39). Its principles reflect the Messiah’s kingdom values of reconciliation and restoration.
V. The Winter Solstice: Cosmic Significance
The winter solstice marks the turning point where light begins to increase, symbolizing hope and renewal. This cosmic event parallels the Messiah’s role as the Or HaOlam (אוֹר הָעוֹלָם), the Light of the World, bringing hope to all creation (Isaiah 9:2):
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who lived in the land of the shadow of death, on them the light has shined.”
VI. The Menorah: A Symbol of the Messiah and His Kingdom
The menorah stands as a beacon of the Messiah’s identity and mission:
• Israel and the Jewish People: The menorah represents the covenant between Elohim and Israel, fulfilled in the Messiah (Matthew 5:17).
• The World: Its light signifies the Messiah’s universal reign and the call to all nations to walk in His light (Isaiah 60:1–3).
• The Kingdom of Elohim: The menorah embodies the eternal presence of Elohim and the unity of His people under His sovereign rule.
VII. Conclusion
The celebrations of the Messiah’s conception and birth across varying calendar systems reflect humanity’s shared longing for redemption and divine light. Whether observed as Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, these festivities point to the eternal truth of the Messiah’s kingship and priesthood.
Let all who dwell in the realms of existence proclaim, as written in Revelation 11:15:
“The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ. He will reign forever and ever!”

EF, Rav.
