OBJECTION TO THE "APOCRYPHA" REFUTED, HANUKKAH, & MARY'S ASSUMPTION

I begin by refuting an objection I used against the "Apocrypha," which sadly is still being used by Prots today, which is based on 1 Macc. 4:46, 9:27 and 14:41. These texts claim there were no prophets during that time, which is assumed to prove that the Apocrypha cannot be prophetic scripture. I refute this by showing that this is not what these texts are saying and that Judas Maccabees is identified as a prophet whom God raised up, which is why God sanctioned the feast of Hanukkah. I then finish off the discussion on the holy Mother's assumption proving that she is the Woman of Rev. 12.
