Old Testament Jesus – Exploring the Origins and Meaning of Hanukkah
A compelling and entertaining sermon worth a careful listen! Rabbi Greg Hershberg, who I hadn’t heard of before, digs into Genesis, Daniel, Matthew and more to illustrate Jesus throughout the Bible and Satan’s attempts to erase it.

Rabbi Greg Hershberg
Matthew 24:13 – “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Pretty great central theme.

Takeaways from our Audience
Antiochus was Infamous
This article pretty much summarizes alot of what Rabbi Hershberg was referencing; however, no scripture exists as it was during the “400 Years of Darkness” prior to Christ’s arrival. Easy reading.

The Hanukkah Connection
“Hanukkah was always a time where Jewish people were expressing their hope for the Messiah to come. That was a time that they were hoping that the light of the world would come, and what better time to express that than the Festival of Lights?”
