"To Follow-up on Donna's easter dates"


Shalom all,
    Donna did a good job of trying to sort out the mess we have with Pesach vs. Easter.
    But if you notice, this year:
    With two Adars....thus 2 or 3 Purims,
        before Passover happens, we have this line up:
Feb. 23-24th. (Adar Rishon 14-15) Purim Rishon (first one)
Mar.20..Palm Sunday (which should be 10th. of Nissan or the day the LAMB/Ya'Shua was chosen).  ?  But this year....Nissan is still a long way off!  No Ripe Harvest yet!
Mar.25th...Purim Sheni (2nd one because of two Adars)..this falls on Yom Shishi 6th. day,(Friday), preparation day for Jews, but since it is a Purim celebration Day,  we can work to prepare for Shabbat.  But, since Purim is a 2 day celebration, and the 2nd. day falls on Shabbat (which in and of itself is a celebration day that over-rides the Purim celebration) we skip for the 2nd. day of Purim.
Mar 27th therefore is...both Easter/Purim (3).  Purim is now called in it's rareity 3rd. Purim.   The celebration of the destruction of those who would keep us from living the righteous life, that our Creator requires of us.
     Purim 3 is a real rearity...because it happens only when Purim falls on a Shabbat.
     Purim 2 is a rearity ....because it only happens when the Harvest is not ripe for Unleavened Bread and First Fruits.  Thus causing and additional Adar Sheni.(2nd. month of Adar)....which only happens 7 times every 19years.  Purim 3 which has to happen in the years of a Purim sheni...therefore is a real rearity, because it also has to happen on Shabbat.  How many times in the 7 years of 2 Adars does a Purim day fall on Shabbat?
     All of this to say......This years Easterday for worshipping a Son Rise/Sunrise, at a time fixed by those who would have us worship the First Fruit Ressurection of our Messiah on their fixed dates....is for sure....a HAPPENING to be aware of.
     In Ez. 32 the importance of Adar 1, is warned about.  This year the months of Adar may be the most important time that we will ever witness.  Egypt, the month of Adar, and the four horseman of the appoclypse (3 Muslim Nations against the Jews), maybe should be our watchwords of warning.
    When YHVH speaks...it is like a loud trumpet.  It causes kingdoms to fall, leaders to fail, destruction to come.....but to those who are listening...like the children of Israel in the Exodus....it caused them to say:
     "We Will DO....whatever You say"   The "doing" comes before the "voice of saying".   God's voice is a "Thundering Judgement".
     God's Timing is what counts, not mankinds.  This Adar  may mark/or join the Two Olive Branches.  God has two voices...the still small voice of the Shepherd..that only His sheep know.  And the loud voice of Judgement...that cause the heavens and the earth to quake...and also all of mankind to know that HE is THE ONE IN COMMAND..HE AND NO OTHER!
    Who knows, what days are ahead in the months of April and May and June and July.   Still we count the Omer Days of Unleavened Bread...from Sabbaths of dispute.  Waiting patiently, until our Redeemer arrives.

Shalom,
Miriam Brown
