The 3 days of the Season of Purim highlight an unusual combination of fasting, drunkenness, and dissipation. What are the 3 days named? Day 1 is Ta-anit Esther, with a partial fast from sunrise to sunset. Purim is not an Appointed Time, not a Feast of Elohim commanded in the Torah. Rather, it is a tradition of men. Day 2 is named Purim or Purim Lots, and Day 3 is Shushan Purim Lots. According to the Torah Calendar (Creation Calendar) these will occur during Adar II (Month 13) from 3-14 to 16, 2025. Just before the Spring Equinox this year. Why is there drunkenness and dissipation? A number of men in Rabbinical Judaism drink alcoholic beverages to excess during celebrations of Purim. And some combine drunkenness with dissipation (carousing). This is alcohol fueled, alcohol enabled, sexual immorality. Not marriage or family values, such activities are causes for shame. These behaviors are hidden from their wives and children. Queen Esther's Hebrew name is Hadassah. It is derived from the Hebrew word hester. Meaning what? HIDDENNESS! Queen Esther (Hadassah) reveals herself to her husband (the King of Persia), other Jews and her country. The bravery and courage of Queen Esther are unveiled, no longer hidden. Her TRUE SELF IS REVEALED. On the Day of The Blessed Hope, the Queen Bride of the Messiah is REVEALED!
Guess what? These 3 things: fasting, drunkenness, and dissipation (carousing) were mentioned by the Messiah! In the 3 Synoptic Gospels, the Messiah noted that when the groom is with you, you do not fast. When he is taken from you, then you will fast. However, when he returns, your joy will be full, and no one will be able to take it from you. The fast is over. According to the Ancient Galilean Wedding Model, the groom and bride go quickly to the wedding canopy (the chuppah) in joyous procession with family and friends to share their great day. CELEBRATION begins. Purim is a Season of celebration and joy. However, the Messiah gives WARNINGS about drunkenness and dissipation on the day He returns. "But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down, with drunkenness and dissipation and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth. But stay awake at all times, proving that you may be in position to escape all these things that are going to take place, and stand before the Son of Man." Luke 21: 34-36. One is to be like the wise and faithful steward ready at all times and escape the day of judgement. See Luke 12: 39-44. One is to be SOBER and WATCHING for the Master, the Beloved Messiah Groom.
There is ONLY 1 Day of the entire year when some members of the House of Israel live out fasting, drunkenness, and dissipation on a global time scale. The day in 2025 will be 3-15 at Israel, on their Purim Day 2. The Ides of March. Some people, from early afternoon onwards will be drunk and/or dissipated there and Europe, and North and South America. What about fasting? Where? For those far back on the 24-hour grid, it will be concluding the day fast for those in Asia, China, Russia, and Africa. It will be Ta-anit Esther for them. For a few hours, as Israel approaches her sunset, there shall be the global composite, the combination of all 3 at once: fasting, drunkenness, and dissipation. These 3 ARE NOT REPEATED on any Feast of Elohim or any other 2 days of the whole year for the House of Israel. THIS DISTINCTION IS SIGNIFICANT. Also notice the day before. There is a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE on Purim Day 1, on Ta-anit Esther. A Sign with the FULL MOON. The Sun will be covered by the Moon, creating a Carona, a beautiful Celestial Wedding Ring! The date of 3-15 will be day 6 of the Scriptural Week, a Friday. This Lunar Eclipse will be the CENTERPIECE of 3 Purim Eclipses in a row " 2024, 2025, and 2026. WOW!
Paul noted that some will discern and intuit the Season of The Blessed Hope approaching. Purim = 3 Day Season. The Messiah, the Groom of grooms, promises to come at a time, an hour, for whom many will be clueless and totally unprepared. "Therefore, you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Matthew: 24:24-44. See also Luke 12: 40. Purim is important. Why? Because the Book of Esther is one of the 66 Books in the Scriptures. The story of Esther is part of THE WORD. For Jew and for Gentile, the Book of Esther should teach us lesions. For long ago and for now. Perhaps the Messiah's Bride of the Ages , the Queen of queens, will be no longer HIDDEN, bur beautifully REVEILED! Perhaps during the midst of CELEBATIONS and JOY within The Season of Purim 2025?

Correction
The total lunar eclipse during Purim on Ta-anit Esther on 3-14-2025 will create a full moon blood red moon. It will not appear like a Carona, like a golden wedding ring. I got a total lunar eclipse confused with a total solar eclipse. Sorry for my misunderstanding.
