In a 1991 article on Purim, Gary Stearman reminded
us“If we count the festivals beginning with Rosh Hashanah,
Purim is the tenth festival out of 22 in the Jewish
calendar. Alphabetically Rosh HaShanah is the first feast
represented by the first letter aleph
(t)the letter of “creation.” This feast signifies “the
birthday of the world.” Purim corresponds with the Hebrew
letter yod (h) which refers to
the “unseen hand of God.”
This reminds me of the very short dream I had recently of
a plate slipping out of my hand, waking up before there
was any crash and hearing the audiable voice saying, "My
Hand". Althought it was so
short, the clear man's voice alerted me that it was God
speaking to me. But, what did it mean? I
am still waiting for a clear answer on that and believe it
may pertain to an actual Plate slippage in the near future
at the Hand of God, Himself.
But getting back to Purim, it is a celebration very
much like the West's Halloween where there are costumes
and masks. It is one time of the year that the
religious Jews allow their young men to go out and drink
to "drunkeness". All holds seem to be barred.
It reminds me a whole lot like of the scriptures
that tell us it was like in the Days of Noah where
the people did their own thing with much eating and
drinking taking place......plus carousing
. It is a description that sort of shocks
those of us that don't see the religious Jews as acting
this way. But the victory over Haman was so great
that a yearly celebration takes place. Let's pray
that this year won't be a time when the masks of the
"Pretenders" come off and carnage takes place.
So, when is Purim this year? It is Adar 14/15
Purim....this year March 8/9, 2012/
King Ahasuerus issued a nationwide
decreestating that on the 13th day of the month Adar the
Jews could legally avenge themselves upon their enemies.
Esther 9:5 tells what happened:“Thus the Jews smote all
their enemies with the stroke of the swordand slaughterand
destructionand did what they would unto those that hated
them.” Thereafterthe Jews began to commemorate Purim
on the two days following their victory — Adar 14 and 15.
Did you notice what was said? It is the one day
that the Jews could legally smote
their enemies. Who is their number one enemy that
swears to destroy them? Ironic, isn't it, that it is
the Persians/Iranians once again. Israel has a
history of of waiting until the hand of vengence is lifted
first before taking action.
Here is what J.R. Church quoted from The Prophecy From
Book Of Enoch On Iran's Role In Armageddon:
“And in those days the angels
will assemble and turn their heads toward the east towards
the people of Parthia and Media [Persia/Iran ]in order to
excite the kings and that a spirit of disturbance come
over them and disturb them from off their thrones that
they come forth from their resting places like lions
and like hungry wolves amidst their flocks.
And they will ascend and step upon the land of their
chosen and the land of his chosen will be before them a
threshing-floor and a path. But the city of my just will
be a hindrance.... And in those days the mouth of Sheol
will be openedand they will sink into it and their
destruction. Sheol will devour the sinners from the
presence of the chosen...”
If the church is gone this month; that is great. I
also believe she will be taken just seconds prior to some
great destruction. But, if for some reason, it comes
later....perhaps Purim is a very good time to consider since
it is the 10th of 22 Jewish festivals. Perhaps, the
Unseen Hand of God is coaxing the Edomites ever closer to
their demise.
I agree with Kari that 2012/13 is the most pivitol year
of all since back in 2005, Israel's third and final
Wilderness Period of 14,400 days were completed on Rosh
haShanah, Oct. 2/3.
I add another piece of information from Isaiah 7 where
the story promises the King of Israel that the rulers of
Ephraim and Assyeria would not prevail over him before the
65th year. This could have a second prophetic
meaning. Israel reborn in 1948 + 65 = just prior
to Israel's New year...Rosh haShanah 2013. Since, the
evidence is very clear that the USA is, by and large, of
Ephraim and her leader is in league with those of the
Edomites of the Middle East, there could be some great
calamity that would spoil her plans to take over Jerusalem.
I leave this in the hands of all you Math-men out there
to see if any of this tickles your numbers.
