On 25th Kislev (December) a Great Miracle happened …
The day that YHVH decended from the heavens to dwell in his Temple on the Earth.
The Tabernacle (Mishkan) built by Moses (house of show bread), the Miracle of Light that burned in the Temple on Hanukkah and the story of the Birth of Jesus (Yeshu bar Joseph) in Bethlehem. (house of bread)
A great miracle happened there …
נֵס גָּדוֹל הָיָה שָׁם
nes gadól hayá sham ….
"a great miracle happened there"
This is what the letters of the dreidel represent.
נ (nun),
ג (gimel),
ה (hei),
ש (shin).
( Read right to left )
Each side of the dreidel bears a letter of the Hebrew alphabet: נ (nun), ג (gimel), ה (hei), ש (shin).
In the game of Dreidel these letters represent a mnemonic for the rules of a gambling game derived from teetotum played with a dreidel:
nun stands for the word נישט (nisht, "not", meaning "nothing"),
gimel for גאַנץ (gants, "entire, whole"),
hei for האַלב (halb, "half")
shin for שטעל אַרײַן (shtel arayn, "put in").
According to etymology, these letters represent the Hebrew phrase נֵס גָּדוֹל הָיָה שָׁם (nes gadól hayá sham, "a great miracle happened there"), referring to the miracle of the Light that burned for 8 days.
There is symbolic significance to the markings on the dreidel.
NGHS …
A gematria reading of the 4 Hebrew letters NGHS yields the number 358, identical to the value of the four letters used to spell "Moshiach" (Messiah).
More Interesting Gematria :
Moshiach = 358 … משיח
Serpent = 358 … נָחָשׁ
The gematria of:
“Messiah - Mashiach - משׁיח” (40+300+10+8) = 358
and
“Serpent - Nachash - נָּחָשׁ” (50+300+8) = 358
See Genesis 3:14 + John 3:14 + Psalm 22 + Galations 3:13
Bamidbar (Numbers) 21:5-9
And the people spoke against G-d, and against Moses: 'Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.' 6 And HaShem sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. 7 And the people came to Moses, and said: 'We have sinned, because we have spoken against HaShem, and against thee; pray unto HaShem, that He take away the serpents from us.' And Moses prayed for the people. 8 And HaShem said unto Moses: 'Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live.' 9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the pole; and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.
Now compare the above incident with Mashiach in:
Yochanan (John) 3:14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
