Hanukkah and Our Time
During World War I, British General Edmund Allenby miraculously captured the Ottoman city of Jerusalem on December 9, 1918 without a fight. Two days later on the 25th of
Kislev (
Hanukkah), he walked into Jerusalem in honor of the Holy City. Thirty years later on the 5th of
Iyar (May 14, 1948), the United Kingdom voluntarily surrendered control and the State of
Israel was born.
Hanukkah and the Millennium
In the Future, the Rapture occurs on the 1st of
Tishri (
Trumpets). The
Tribulation lasts seven years. Ten kings reign the first half and the
Antichrist reigns the second half. The
Second Coming occurs on the 10th of
Tishri (Atonement). Thirty days of mourning end on the 10th of
Heshvan. The judgment of the nations takes forty-five days ending on the 25th of Kislev (
Hanukkah). At the beginning of
Tabernacles, the earth is restored and the fourth Jewish temple is dedicated (1260 + 30 = 1290 + 45 = 1335).
He (Antichrist) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time [3½ years, 42 months or 1260 days] (
Daniel 7:25).
From the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be 1290 days. Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the 1335 days. (
Daniel 12:11-12).
