In regular years, the 14th of Adar is Purim, the festival that celebrates the
salvation of the Jewish people from Haman's evil decree in the year 3405 from creation (356 BCE). In
a leap year -- which has two Adars -- Purim is
celebrated in Adar II, and the 14th of Adar I is designated as Purim
Kattan, the "Little Purim." There are no special observances,
however, associated with Purim Kattan, other than the omission of Tachnun
("supplications") from the daily prayers and a prohibition against
fasting or holding eulogies on this day. The Code of Jewish Law cites
an opinion that one should increase in festivity and joy, but rules that
there is no obligation to do so; "Nevertheless,a person should increase
somewhat in festivity... for 'One who is of good heart is festive always'
" (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 697:1).

In regular years, the 15th of Adar is Shushan
Purim, the festival that celebrates -- in Jerusalem and other
ancient walled cities -- the salvation of the Jewish people from Haman's evil
decree in the year 3405 from creation (356 BCE). In a leap
year -- which has two Adars -- Shushan Purim is observed in Adar II,
and the 15th of Adar I is designated as Shushan Purim Kattan, the
"Minor Shushan Purim."

All about Purim
Last year, I was visiting a church in North Tulsa, and a
lady begin speaking about when her house burnt down. She loves cats and
she told me about two of her cats that survived the fire that she called Big
Esther and Little Esther. (Little Esther was the baby cat). Hmmmm….
Watch the word picture… Cats purr.
Little Esther, and Big Esther.
Cats = Kattan = Little
Purr = Purim = Esther
Last year on Feb 21st, we observed Adar 3, the
day the temple was complete. Perhaps a foreshadow of Shusan Purim
Kattan.
3405 is the year from
Creation that celebrates the deliverance from Haman’s evil decree against
the Jews.
3405g = recompense
of reward

3405h = Jericho = “it’s moon” (from 3394h)
http://cf.blb.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?strongs=H3405&t=KJV
3394h = moon
http://cf.blb.org/lang/lexicon/Lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H3394&t=KJV
I believe Tony is seeing a picture of the moon being taken from
the side of the earth as a prophetic metaphor. I do not particularly
believe that the moon was spun out of the side of the earth because there is no
evidence to prove it, but the prophetic picture is probably legitimate.
But it is interesting that he has sniffed out significant days to watch and
related it to the moon.

My pastor on the morning of Feb 21 is having breakfast with
the richest man in Oklahoma. He also has a baby girl named Hadassah that
was born the same day I went to see One Night with the King, the story of
Esther. Cool huh?
