As much as some are
looking forward to Purim Lots, day 2 of the 3 day Purim Season,
we must remember that Purim is a Season, not just 1 day. The
foundational day 1 is the Fast of Esther called Ta-anit Esther.
For some it is a day fast from sunrise to sunset. Purim is not a
Feast of Elohim and it not commanded to be observed according to
Abba Father or the Messiah, anywhere in the Scriptures. We are
to know the Book of Esther, found in the Hebraic Scriptures. The
story is significant. As before for some, so again, a time of
blessed deliverance by divine power?
The theme of fasting was mentioned by
the Messiah, according to all 3 of the Synoptic Gospels. A
triple mention in the Scriptures should attract our attention.
He stated that when the bridegroom is with you, the bride does
not fast. When He is taken away, then there is fasting. When the
bridegroom returns from a long journey, then what? The fast
ends, the bridegroom and bride proceed to the Chuppah (the
wedding canopy) and the rejoicing begins! If Iran has a surprise
for Israel planned on Purim Day 2 or 3 in 2023, Day 1 occurs
before them. If China has a surprise planned for the U.S.A, on
Purim Day 2 or 3 in 2023, Day 1 occurs before them. The
Scriptures are FULL OF STORIES OF NICK OF TIME RESCUES, LAST
MOMENT DELIVERANCES, OF QUICK ESCAPES.
Will the Messiah come “at a time
you think not” for His family, body, and bride in 2023 at
Ta-anit Esther on 3- 5 to 6? As Day 1 of Purim ends on 3-6, the
fast ends, and Israel goes to The Midnight Hour (prominent in
the Ancient Galilean Wedding Model)? Remember the Master’s story
about the Goodman of his house? This attentive family man
anticipated the coming of the thief. But the thief arrived
EARLIER than the master of the house anticipated. The head of
his house did a botch job. Preparation, watching, for The
Blessed Hope must be timely. Not too late. LOOK TO PURIM SEASON
In 2023, according to the Torah Calendar. During Month 12 of
Adar, the 3 Days of The SEASON OF PURIM on Adar 13, 14, and 15
(3-5 to 8) will occur. As the Messiah warned,“ On a time you
don’t expect?”
With Love and Shalom,
