Most Christians think of Hanukkah as "that nice little Jewish holiday," but they miss the deeper meaning, says best-selling author and Messianic Jewish Rabbi Jonathan Cahn.
They picture Jewish families spinning dreidels, lighting menorahs and eating fried potato pancakes. But there's more to this eight-day holiday, which begins at sundown Sunday.
"It actually holds a big, prophetic end-time revelation," Cahn said. "It's a heavy holiday."
And it keeps getting heavier as time progressives and biblical prophecies about the end times inch closer to being fulfilled.
"If anything, over the course of the last year, America and much of the West has moved closer to the scenario foreshadowed in the days of the Maccabees" and the Hanukkah end-time events, said Cahn.
He believes Hanukkah presents a preview of the end times events, the spirit that will envelop the world, and the strategies for Christian endurance more than any other biblical holiday.
"It foreshadows the Antichrist, the abomination that causes desolation, the calling of evil good and good evil, the removing of God from the public square, the banning of God's Word, sexual immorality, and the persecution of God's people," he told WND. "It also reveals the strategy that end-time believers need to know that might overcome all these things.
"We are fast approaching a day when believers can be thrown in jail and the majority of Americans applaud it," he continued. "It is all the more crucial that we be prepared, vigilant, wise, and prepared that we might live victoriously for such a time as this."
Jesus celebrated Hanukkah as described in John 10:22-23, when He "walked in the temple in Solomon's porch" during the "Feast of Dedication."
A revolutionary act
The word Hanukkah means "dedication" and revolves around a historic and improbable revolution,

Jonathan Cahn: Hanukkah foreshadows the Antichrist and End Time (part 1 of 2) https://youtu.be/deK4TOJ2cNE
The late Zola Levitt had a book (I think) called the Feast of Israel that showed how all the feast of Israel were prophetic
Wow . . how inspiring! Thank you so much for posting this, Lera. Just what I needed to read today. What an inspiration.
Oh, is it time for another Sooper Blood Moon Shemitah miracle again?
Yeah no one know the day or the hour of his return but we should know the season
Look at your own tag line lol
You have ISIS (ISIL) trying to take over what they call the levant (the levant is the entire land that was promised to Jacob’s descendants )
(Micah 5:5) And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
(Micah 5:6) And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
Just like in Jesus time most of Israel didn’t know what season it was today most of the “church” doesn’t know what season it is and they are not looking for it .
(Luke 12:37) Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
(Luke 12:38) And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
(Luke 12:39) And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
(Luke 12:40) Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
TODAY most people who call themselves Christ followers are NOT looking for his return , they think NOT that he is coming
Maybe you did not notice but the invasion of Syrian “refugees” started that very day
Just remember, grasshopper, DO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST!

Quote-Yes they are all prophetic..
If Christians and Jews knew the Savior’s real birthday, they would see how His major life events (birth,circumcision, presentation in temple, baptism, death,burial rest, resurrection and giving of the Holy Spirit all occurred on Appointed Days/Times (moed-strongs 4150) He taught Israel.
The Word really did become Flesh.
But both Christians and Jews would have to realize they follow traditions of men, first. And admitting that would be difficult.
Amen amen
Thanks FRiends,
Jewish Holidays speak of a Future of Hope and Joy,
