Uzziah's reign began with military and economic success, akin to the Hasmonean dynasty's initial period of independence and religious revival. Jotham maintained stability and religious adherence, providing a period of relative peace. Herod the Great, while collaborating with Rome to maintain stability, also attempted to rebuild the Temple[1], paralleling Jotham's building projects, although Herod's motives were mixed and led to further unrest. Ahaz’s introduction of pagan practices and alliance with Assyria parallels the increasing influence of Roman pagan culture and governance over Judea. This led to significant spiritual decline and political turmoil, similar to Ahaz's reign. After the turmoil comes King Hezekiah paralleling Jesus’ ministry with the potential for Messiah. After Hezekiah, Manasseh introduced pagan traditions and practices back into the people who belonged to Hezekiah, mirroring the events of Christians after Jesus’ ministry[2]. The current generation in this light is akin to the age of Manasseh, in which the followers of his father (Hezekiah/Jesus) return to idolatry and pagan practices. However, there is hope for the Manasseh generation as they eventually will repent and remove all their foreign gods from their lives. They will travel to Jerusalem (ingathering of the exiles) and rejoice with all of Israel with the resuming of sacrifices in the messianic era[3]. After the repentance of Manasseh with the messianic age, the age of “Amon” is next which reverts Jesus’ people back into idolatry – but only for a short period of time as prophesied by John in Revelation[4].

But is there a cycle in which we see this play out in the more immediate future? What about the prophecies given to Netanyahu?
