Luke 21: 34-36: “And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighted down with gluttony (overeating), and drunkenness, and the cares (worries) of this life, and that day (yom) come upon you suddenly. For it shall come as a snare (trap) on all those dwelling on the face of the earth (erets). WATCH then at all times, and PRAY that you be counted WORTHY to ESCAPE ALL this taking place, and to stand before the Son of Man (Adam).”

 

   There is a short period of GREATEST DANGER each year for some Jewish men, for drunkenness and dissipation (alcohol induced sexual immorality). When? In late Winter, usually in Month 12 of the Spiritual Year Calendar for Israel, called Adar. This is usually in February. When during that time frame? During Days of Purim, which we learn about in the Book of Esther. Purim celebrates the escape and deliverance of Jews in ancient Persia because of the courage and careful planning of Queen Esther and her beloved relative Mordecai. The destruction of the evil Haman.

 

   Days of Purim in 2021? This is complicated. On the Chabad Calendar the 3 Purim Days begin the evening at sunset on 2-24 and end on 2-27 at sundown. Within the 3 days what is the greatest danger day? It is Day 2 Purim Lots during the afternoon and evening. On the Chabad Calendar that will be Thursday evening to Friday evening from 2-25 to 26, the day before the Shabbat. On that day, some men of the tribes of Israel will be getting drunk, even falling down drunk. Some will pub crawl, some visit mistresses, and some visit brothels. Drunkenness and dissipation. Purim begins one day LATER on the Torah Calendar: Purim Lots will be on the Shabbat. For those far back on the 24 hour grid add one more day for those in China, Russia and Africa. So the whole combined period extends for 5 days on combined calendars. The Purim Days are Purim Esther (a fast day), then Purim Lots. Then Shushan Purim. Add a day for those far back on the 24 hour grid. Shushan Purim is the second danger day for drunkenness and dissipation. Days 2 and 3.

 

   A curious sign of the times. The Messiah taught a parable about using or hoarding silver coins called minas. Right now, some are nearly frantic trying to buy and hoard silver coins. When the Messiah comes in The Blessed Hope, life will seem to be “normal” as in the days of Noah before flood and the days of Lot before fire. Eating and drinking. Marrying and giving in marriage. Buying and selling. Planting and building. People, by the masses, will believe that their economics will remain stable. Most will believe the comforting lie, the deep illusion, that life will go on for them as it  always has. They will not consider that there is THE SNARE (trap) prepared for each and all the Earth Dwellers, just before them. Ponder carefully 2-24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29. Be awake, on guard, and sober on these days and nights.

 

   What will The Midnight Hour be like for Israel any of these 5 nights? Will this period of annual greatest  spiritual danger for drunkenness and dissipation for some men of the tribes of Israel be the period to include The Season, the Day, and the Hour of The Blessed Hope? The escape and the deliverance of the Redeemed in the Messiah: bride, friends to the groom and bride, the family?

“WATCH and PRAY that you be counted WORTHY to ESCAPE ALL this taking place, and to STAND before the Son of Man (Adam).” We shall know soon what Purim will be in 2021.
