Winter brings more than candles and carols; it brings a question about light, place, and purpose. We walk the Feast of Dedication in John 10 where Jesus moves through Solomon’s Porch, then follow that light into the contested ground of the Temple Mount, the timing of October 7, and the long memory of names that tried to erase Israel. Jonathan Cahn’s teaching draws a straight line from Hanukkah’s rededication to today’s headlines, showing how desecration targets sacred time and space—and why that same struggle shows up in our own hearts.

We explore why Hanukkah is eight days by returning to the Feast of Tabernacles, not the later oil legend, and how reclaiming a missed holy day became an act of resistance. We trace how “Palestine” emerged from Philistia after the Bar Kokhba revolt and how Hadrian’s renaming of Jerusalem echoed the Greek desecration tied to Zeus. Along the way, we connect Al-Aqsa, Operation naming, and the Temple Mount to a much older conflict over worship and identity. The thread continues through Revelation 12, where the dragon aims to devour before the promise is born. That preemptive tactic explains both ancient persecutions and modern campaigns—and it explains why your calling faces its fiercest pushback just before fruit appears.

The most personal turn arrives when we remember that we are now the temple. Rededication is not seasonal; it is daily. Clearing idols looks like silencing hurry, shedding religious busywork, and letting Jesus reign from the center. If you’re following God and the pressure spikes, read it as a signal, not a sentence: the enemy does not waste ammunition on empty futures. Pray, return to the Word, and rekindle first love. Light spreads from the center out, and even in the darkest season, a dedicated heart shines.
