Equally important, who let him back in? Either he went whining to FFS again or (more likely) it was decided by the admins that they didn't want him sperging up the whole forum.Dammit Brad who let you out of your thread?
WRONG! The seven lamps of the Menorah allude to knowledge, with six of the branches representing human wisdom, guided by the center branch of Divine light. The Menorah’s design and the ideas it communicates endure as an inspiration for universal enlightenment. -- https://unitedwithisrael.org/what-does-the-menorah-symbolize/The 7 lamps of the temple menorah(7 letters,74) mystically represent the sacred ''7 Luminaires'' known now as the 7 Classical Planets: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Where do you get this crap? The eight stems of the Hanukkiah represent the eight days that the one cask of oil burned in the menorah in the Temple of Jerusalem (it should have only lasted one day). They have nothing to do with the planets. http://www.hanukkahfun.com/578/what-is-a-hanukkiah/At the time of Judas Maccabeus and the Hebrew revolt of 164 BC, it was not known that there were 8 planets in this solar system. But later when it became learned, the 'shamash' was added as the 9th lamp in the Hanukkiah(9 letters)/Chanukiah(9).
WRONG! Shemesh is the ancient Hebrew name for the sun (Google that). Shamash is a different word meaning 1. candle lit first and then used to light other hanukah candles; 2. the caretaker of a synagogue; 3. personal assistant / aide / gofer, especially to a rabbi or in the Hollywood entertainment industry. http://www.jewish-languages.org/jewish-english-lexicon/words/497'Shamash' was the ancient Hebrew & Sumerian name for the Sun.
I think we've clearly established that this interpretation of yours is WRONG!It's very symbolic that the shamash is used to light the other lights (planets) of the Ḥanukkiah.
I'm almost insulted I didn't get one. It is quiet typical of Brad to do this rather than accept the supported evidence against him. In other words: THAT'S SO BRAD!
