Did Jesus Prophesy About Hanukkah? | Matthew 24 & Prophetic Cycles

Did you know that Jesus’ famous “Olivet Discourse” actually contains deep connections to the history of Hanukkah? In this episode of ISOW Insights, host Matthew Foley dives into the Hebraic roots of Matthew 24 to reveal how the “Abomination of Desolation” isn't just a future event, but a repeating prophetic cycle.

Learn how the patterns of Antiochus Epiphanes, the Macabees, and the destruction of the Temple provide a “shadow” of the final end-time events and the return of the Messiah. We also explore the “Parable of the Fig Tree” and how modern dates in Israel’s history—from the Balfour Declaration to 2023—align perfectly with the biblical calendar.
