"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,
