The study of the Bible in its historical context - with a focus on the archaeology, history, geography, customs , culture, and even the languages of the ancient Middle East. WE ask what did they understand THEN - the original intent of the Lord - so that we can expand and enrich our understanding NOW and thus become true disciples of Adonai Yeshua as in John 8:31-32.

Chanukah: Return of the King Candle One
Wednesday Dec 25, 2024
Wednesday Dec 25, 2024
In this video we return again to the Mt. of Olives. Jesus is answering His disciples. They asked Him what would be the sign of His return and the end of the age. Jesus answers and seems to use events of the revolt of the Maccabees as a "picture" to teach them about the times of His return. We as Christians have no connection to Chanukah except it is in December like Christmas. But it has nothing to do with Christmas and we now learn the "miracle of the oil" that supposedly explains the meaning of Chanukah, never happened. It was only a story a rabbi made up in the 3rd century A.D. to try and come up with why Chanukah lasts for 8 days. If you haven't listened to the 1st video, I strongly urge you to watch the video, "Chanukah: Return of the King - Introduction."
So, let us jump in again. Let us return to the Mt. of Olives. Let's study the events of the revolt or the Maccabees and see how Jesus continues to use those days and times to teach His disciples and, therefore, teach us as we reconnect to those days 2000 years ago and hear Jesus they way they did THEN so we can enhance our understanding of the return of the King NOW.
