Shalom all!
Just spent the night at a Jewish chatroom answering accusations from an Orthodox rabbi. Once he learned I was a Messianic Jew, he called me so many names I'd be ashamed to repeat even half of them. Funny thing is there were wiccan jews in the chatroom and he was chatting with them and didn't seem to be bothered. Why is it that they hate us so much? Has anyone else had such an experience?
Right before I went to sleep, as I was praying, I was feeling so angry and then the Ruach HaKodesh spoke to me and said "Don't be angry, it is I they're rejecting, not you". My heart aches when I think of the hatred they have for Mashiach... our nation is so stiff-necked... especially those who were supposed to be leading G-d's people. I mean, a Rabbi calling me names, asking me my real name so that he could "deal with me personally". Mind you, I wasn't even talking about Yeshua, I was just trying to talk to some people about Hannukah celebrations.
I don't even know why I'm posting this here, I guess I just wanted to share with people whom I know may understand me.
Anyway, my heart is crying today... don't even know if I'll be able to celebrate Hannukah today.
In Messiach,
Ben Tsion

May the Ruach Elohim soothe your aching heart and comfort you! You will be able to celebrate Chanukah because we know that the light of the world is Yeshua, you honor Him in your lighting, and we may rejoice that He enflames us with love, His Love, which is perfect... and all the world will see Him and know Him in the fullness of time. Praying for that rabbi here, as well. 
This all, of course, breaks your heart because it breaks the heart of Abba. May that hurt spur you ever more to intercession!
