"two passover's /perspectives?"
Shalom all,
I have a brain overload, and I'm wondering if any
of you can give some perspective ideas to these connections.
1. Daniel's
Passover Prayer and Fasting time as compared to.....
2. Esther's Purim
and Passover times, as compared to Hezikiah's Passover times......
3
Yeshua's last Passover days.
My thoughts after reading most of the
scriptures associated to the above.
Esther and Daniel days are
interlocked. Both in Persia/Media. Esther proceeds Nisan, Daniel is in Nisan
at Passover time. Both are times of Fasting.
Esther's times are
separated by 3 1/2 to 4 years...Vashti dies and Esther becomes Queen in
Achashverosh's 3 year of reign...although Esther may have had a time of learning
Royal customs ....at the time of the fast it was now Achashverosh's 7th. year of
reign. His kingly reign begins in Tishri, and her reign begins at Nisan 1/2
year apart.
Was Daniel's prayer and fast at Passover time durring the
time (years) of Esther's grooming?
Esther's grooming time...3 1/2
years seems to have come to an end, without her husband remembering who she
was. Esther 1:10 tells the story of Vashti, while Esther 2:10 tells Esther's
story of silence about "her people". Esther 3:10 tells of Haman's rise to
power......but just preceeding this is the 7th. vs. about the 12th. year of
reign of Achashverosh.....so a time frame of 9 1/2 years has passed because it
is now 1 Nissan.
The Persians began the practice of "throwing "purs" or
"casting lots". These lots were cast before HAMAN every day and every month
from Tishri until Nisan And Haman brought His evil plan forward and in the
10th. verse the King gave Haman his signet ring. THIS IS THE MONTH of NISAN
NOW....PASSOVER MONTH....AND ON PASSOVER...THE 13TH. OF NISSAN IN THE 12TH. YEAR
OF ACHASHVERROSH'S REIGN....HAMAN BEGAN HIS CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE JEWS TO DESTROY
THEM FROM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. UNTIL THE MONTH OF ADAR THE NEXT YEAR OF
THE PEOPLE....Achashverosh was now in his 13th. year of reign!!!! So we now
have from his 1st year of reign until his 13th. year or reign....in his 3rd.
year he killed Vashti and put Esther in as Queen. So Esther had been Queen for
10 years....without his knowing who her people were.
THIS IS THE TIME
OF ESTHER'S FAST AND PRAYER HAPPENING...
CH. 4 VS. 10.....ESTHER SENDS
MESSAGE TO MORDEKHAI THAT SHE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN BY THE KING FOR 30 DAYS, AND
THAT SHE IS NOT PERMITTED TO GO INTO HIS PRESENCE AND STAY ALIVE...UNLESS HE
TOUCHES HER WITH HIS GOLDEN SCEPTER, SHE WOULD BE PUT TO DEATH...BY LAW.
MORDEKHAI SENDS BACK THE MESSAGE THAT IF SHE DOESNOT GO TO THE KING....SHE AND
ALL THE JEWS WILL BE KILLED.
BUT THE KING, INTERCEDES.....HE DOES TOUCH
HER WITH HIS GOLDEN SCEPTER....AND GRANTS HER WHATEVER SHE WANTS.....AND SHE
SETS UP HER FAST AND PRAYER TIME....ASKING ALL JEWS TO DO THE SAME.
CH.
5:10 HAMAN FACES THE DEATH SENTENCES THAT HE SEES AHEAD, AND TRIES TO
COUNTER-ACT IT. HE SETS THE TRAP THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE HIS DOOM.
CH. 6:10 HAMAN'S GRANDIOSE SCHEME IS SET UP.
CH. 7:10 HAMAN IS HUNG
ON HIS OWN GALLOWS THAT HE BUILT FOR MORDEKHAI.
CH. 8:10 THE LETERS GO
OUT FOR THE JEWS TO BE GRANTED PARDON IN THE KINGS NAME.
CH, 9:10 THEY
PUT TO DEATH THE 10 SONS OF HAMAN BY NAME.
CH. 10...KING ACHASHVEROSH
GAVE MORDEKHAI THE FULL HONOR OF THE KING IN ALL THE ANNALS OF THE KINGS OF OF
MEDIA AND PERSIA.
DANIEL'S PRAYER AND FAST TIME IS MARKED BY THE
REIGNS OF ISRAEL'S KINGS, BUT HE WAS IN PERSIA WITH ESTHER AND MORDEKHAI. SO IT
IS HARD FOR ME TO DATE THE TWO AS TO THEIR YEARS WHEN THEY HAPPENED.
THE
ISRAELITES CAME BACK AND REBUILT THE TEMPLE, BUT THE KINGS BEGAN TO SET UP IDOL
WORSHIP AND MANY YEARS PASSED WHEN THEY DIDN'T KEPT THE APPOINTED TIMES OF
HASHEM. SO TIME ELAPSED BEFORE THE DAYS OF .....DANIEL AND ESTHER AND KING
HEZIKIAH.
HEZIKIAH KEPT 2ND. PASSOVER....AFTER RE-PURIFIING ALL TEMPLE
THINGS. HE KEPT IT FOR 2 MONTHS.
YESHUA (IN MY OPINION) DIDN'T KEEP
PASSOVER INSTEAD HE KEPT FEAST OF FIRST FRUITS. HE SAID HE WOULD SERVE THE
PASSOVER MEAL IN HEAVEN WHEN HE RETURNS AS KING AND MESSIAH. HE COULD HAVE BEEN
ONLY THE SHIEF OF AVIV (LIKE UNTO THIS YEAR'S AVIV)..THAT MARKS ONE DAY OF THE
OMER?) perhaps coming back exactly where He left off?
If that is what is
happening.....and if war breaks out before Passover this year, and nullifies
anyone of keeping it by not being in Jerusalem, or by being contaminated by
death (perhaps Yeshua's death).....could we not be looking at a 2nd. Passover
setting? When a PURE MAN on a long journey arrives with a host of people
contaminated by touching death shows up? Maybe like Hezikiah....keeping 2nd.
Passover for 2 months.
i think that Esther's Fast and Prayer Time
could also have proceeded Daniels prayer and fast time. i think that Daniels
answer came for a future Passover Time.
Esther's Fast kept intact the
Passover that wouldn't have been...(Yeshua's days) while Daniels was for our
days.
Perhaps, it will happen on a 2nd. Passover date. Yeshua will
serve us Passover in Heaven on a 2nd. Passover date.
These are just my
mussings....and i would surely appreciate any input from you guys and gal. I
know only that the Ruach has brought these things to my attention, and amplified
them since Tabernacles of this KINGLY NEW YEAR. I'm anxious to see the end of
this study....for my life desire will then be complete...PRAISE YHVH AND HIS
SALVATION YAHSHUA!!!!!
Shalom,
