"A clue for us in Esther in terms of Purim timing."


In Esther I observe the following:

In verse 3:12, it was on the 13th day of the "first" month that the king's scribes translated the edict into all of the languages that existed throughout the many provinces.  At that time the notices were then sent out and the edict was made known to the populace.  The 13th ended at sundown (an assumption on my part).

In my thinking, it was on the 14th day that Mordecai read the edict and then went to make it known to Esther.  The three days of fasting began after sunset, when the 15th started.  Her fast request wanted the folks to begin it that night after sundown.

(These three days of fasting correspond exactly to the three days the followers of Jesus would have mourned after His death.  The timing of when Esther went into the king's presence and touched the royal scepter corresponds to when Jesus accomplished His first ascension after meeting Mary.  That timing of touching the scepter might be pointing to us finally being in the presence of the True King.)

Before the fast, Esther made an interesting comment in her conversation with Mordecai.  She said, in 4:11, "I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days".  The implication is that 30 days prior she had been summoned and did appear before the king.

Backing up 30 days from the 14th day of the 1st month when Esther and Mordecai spoke brings me to the time of Purim.  Might we get summoned before the King even at that time?  or at least receive some type of revelation from the Holy Spirit?  With the three blood moons on '24, '25, and '26 pointing to Purim, it is a time to really pay attention.  If I reference the beginning of the month at the full moon, then the blood moon on Purim ends up also being the 1st day of the 12th month.  Per some rabbinic thought, the plague of the three days of darkness started on the 1st day of the 12th month.  If valid for this year, then the three days of darkness would end on March 6, the day that John Tng has been pointed to in his last video.  This ending of the this three days of darkness is also the anniversary of when Moses was taken from the people per my studies comparing the last chapter of Deuteronomy and the first several chapters of the book of Joshua.  Moses died at the end of the 3rd day of the 12th month and not the 7th day of the 12th month per popular jewish thought.  Again, John Tng has been pointed to the same timing.  We'll see.

My eyes are also very watchful for the upcoming Passover season, starting on the 10th day of the 1st month, when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the very day prophecied by Daniel, which Jesus emphasized back then when He said, "If only you had know this "your day". . . .  Might the timing of that date be when a "restart up" of sorts happens this year? or at least a time where God yet once again evaluates the hearts of the chosen nation?  will it happen again when Jesus will conclude and declare, "it will be hidden from your eyes" for yet another period of time?

The 10th of the 1st is also when another Yeshua took the children of Israel across the Jordan river into their promised land.  What I find interesting is that the waters of the Jordan did not split in the same way the waters parted at the Red Sea.  The waters, instead, were stopped farther up the Jordan River near a town called Adam.  The waters were described as being cut off all the way down to the Dead (Salt) Sea.  See Joshua 3:16.  This cutting off of waters flowing from Adam to Dead Sea (Death) points me to the reality that has been given to us as New Creations in union with the Holy Spirit.  Might a portal/barrier of the old creation be broken open, allowing the new creation reality to manifest and give the angels of Jesus a path for us to be then taken home?  Some valid Christian NDE experiencers seem to describe what I think of as being a sort of wormhole, as they are taken from the earth to heaven by angels.  Wayne Fowler's recent interview on Janie Duval's Youtube is very interesting to me for how well he describes his experience.  You can find that video here:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KlD_wH_zskU&t=4015s&pp=2AGvH5ACAdIHCQm-CgGHKiGM7w%3D%3D

Regarding the 10th day of the 1st month, I also see hints to it from another angle.  It was a number of years ago that we experienced a strong, winter storm Noah on the 17th day of our Gregorian 2nd month.  Back then I wondered if God, in terms of the timing of when we go home, might give multiple witnesses of the event by using multiple calendars, including the Gregorian one.  If I reference the 17th day of February this year, and add the 40 days of the rising flood waters, I land on March 29th this year.  Per the popular Jewish calendar, the 10th day of the 1st month is the 27/28th day of March.  However, I also observe that, and this is not uncommon for their calendar, there is no way the new moon can be sighted on what that popular Jewish calendar determines to be the 1st day of the 1st month.  They are early.  So, the true 10th of the 1st, if I reference this by the sighted new moon in Israel, will be either on the 28/29th or the 29/30th.   So, 40 days from our Gregorian 17th day of the 2nd month does fall on the 29th of March.  I found this Youtube video validating the same timing:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cRlbfVhXrhE

Of course, being a long term watcher for Jesus, I also have before me the day of the Exodus, and the day of Jesus' resurrection.

I do take heart that the window of time is coming to a close with respect to Israel being 77 years old up to April 20/21 on their calendar or May 14 per the Gregorian.

For what it is worth.

God bless you.
