Hi John and Doves,
This story is just WOW! I am still trying to wrap my head around it. It has Purim written all over it, Doves. The Iranian regime may be facing a take-down. This message coming from an exiled prince - the Shah of Iran. He recently addressed the Oxford Union and gave this speech! This is NOT small-fry. This has got me thinking that this Purim 2023 is about the last chance saloon for Israel to repent and return to the Torah. To hold to the laws that bind The Covenant. It seems that the clock has started ticking. The future Purim blood moons are time-markers. As a reminder - the Nuremburg trials of 1946 took place 77 years ago. Where the nazi, Julius Streicher yelled, "Purim Fest, 1946" just prior to being hanged. See 2nd link. Note the title of the article (written in 2012) - "The Purim link between Nazi Germany and a nuclear Iran". Utterly FASCINATING. Almighty God's sheer poetry in motion.
If my instinct is correct, we may well see the current Iranian regime brought to it's knees. THAT would send a HUGE message to Israel - causing even the most secular to sit up and take note. Esther had to do a lot of praying and fasting in the story of Purim. She had to work very hard to draw closer to Almighty God. Israel is being urged to do the same. There is something weird going on with Netanyahu too. The political turmoil in Israel is unbelievable. Yet Netanyahu chose this time (Purim) to take a trip to Italy - in an attempt to get them onside. Hmmm! I wonder if Bibi met with the pope? In secret, of course. Bibi's behaviour is odd.
Praying for the peace of Jerusalem. In Jesus' precious Name.
