About this listen
The Supernatural Story of Hanukkah.
A supernatural epic novel about the Abomination of Desolation predicted by the Bible prophet Daniel that was fulfilled in the books of the Maccabees in the Apocrypha.
This is Part 2 of 2 novels.
After the story in Part 1, Judah Maccabee now leads a growing force of Jewish guerrilla freedom fighters in Israel against the ruthless Greek forces of Seleucid king Antiochus Epiphanes.
Judah takes a beautiful Greek princess hostage. Her name is Laodice V, and she hates her uncle the king.
As Judah faces the king’s best generals in battles, he begins to fall in love with the princess hostage.
But she is a Greek atheist and he is an observant Jew. Can they find true love when they worship different gods?
Judah’s goal is to recapture Jerusalem and cleanse the temple from its idolatrous Abomination of Desolation, the altar of Zeus, returning Israel to Torah.
But he is outnumbered seven-to-one, under-supplied, a traitor is about to betray him…
And Rome is putting its iron foot down.
Spiritual Warfare
At the same time, this story delves into the demonic territorial spirits over Greece, Egypt, and Rome as they masquerade as gods of the nations.
The Abomination of Desolation Past and Future
There is an appendix at the end of this Part 2 that explores the biblical theological and historical interpretation of the Abomination of Desolation spoken of by Daniel and Jesus. The biblical view is so different from the speculations of the modern industrial prophecy complex.
Biblical and Historical Research
Get the companion book, The Spiritual World of Ancient Israel and Greece to learn the amazing biblical and historical research behind the novel.

Story
What was God doing between the Old and New Testaments? There was a four-hundred-year gap between the last Old Testament prophet and the New Testament arrival of Jesus Christ. It’s called the Intertestamental period. In that time period, there were some very significant things happening and they were related to the Bible and its prophecies as described by the prophet Daniel. This book explores some of the biblical and historical meaning of it all.

Story
There are giants among us, passing largely unnoticed, intent on carrying out a secret plan to enslave all humanity. They may not look like giants today, but their bloodlines extend all the way back to the Nephilim—the offspring of angels who mated with human women described in Genesis 6 when giants roamed the land. Gary Wayne, author of The Genesis 6 Conspiracy: How Secret Societies and the Descendants of Giants Plan to Enslave Humankind, details the role of modern-day Nephilim in Satan's plan to install the Antichrist at the End of Days.

Judah Maccabee, Pt II
Very good. Actually enjoyed Part II more than Part I. But, I so appreciate Brian Godawa’s insightful work both novels were good. And he’s an excellent narrator. I read all of the Chronicles of the Nephilim years ago. VERY interesting and vivid.
