From Judaism 101 http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday9.htm
I find it interesting that Purim on the 14th
of Adar (March 10, 2009) celebrates the deliverance of the Jews in
Persia
(
Iran
) from destruction, while today’s Jews face
intended destruction by
Persia
(
Iran
). As we see the Jews moving
closer and closer to a military option to prevent
Iran
from
becoming a nuclear power, could any of this be tied to a modern day
re-fulfillment of Purim?
The other interesting point is that according to Judaism
101, Purim means “lots” as apparently Haman cast lots to determine the day of
the Jews destruction and the lot fell on the 13th of Adar. Could
that have anything to do with “you will know not the day or the hour”?
With Blessings to
all,
