Chanukah: Return of the King Candle Four

Candle 4 is lit.  What does it represent as far as Jesus connecting Chanukah with His return - the Return of the King?  So far Jesus has said He is God on Chanukah.  The evil king Antiochus said he was god and he's the villain of this Jewish feast.  He's not god - no way.  Only Yeshua is Lord of lords and King of kings and the only God.  But, Jesus said this on Chanukah and that ain't no coincidence!  See John 10:22 and following.  

Then we remember Jesus teaching in a special sequence.  In those days before He returns He talked about the abomination of desolation.  He talked about fleeing to the mountains and not taking anything with us.  All these are in the books of the Maccabees in the same order!  Those books were written in the mid to early 1st century B.C.  The disciples of Jesus would have had access to those books.  Thus, it seems highly probable that they saw  what Jesus was doing; He was creating an awesome connection between Chanukah and His return.  So, as we put the Bible back into its historical context we too hear as they did THEN, and see the way those disciples did THEN, and understand the way they did THEN, so the Ruach HaKodesh רוח הקודש - our comforter and teacher - can help us enhance and expand our understanding NOW.  

In this vidcast you will meet some amazing women.  We will also meet 7 brothers - men and boys who are also so amazing.  Actually most of the women are teenagers.  Girls married at 12 or 13 or 14 in and around 170 B.C.  These young Jewish teenage moms and those 7 Jewish brothers exhibited courage and bravery that no Christian girl or young man in the USA would ever face or has ever faced.  We will meet true heroines and heroes of the faith in a time of horror and death and fear and chaos.  And Jesus tells us that perhaps the terror they faced is what may face moms with kids again and all of us before He returns.
