  God has His own calendar

 

We are now in the 12th Month of God, Adar, the 15th day

 

Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory, from the 1500’s

 

Today is February 19^th, 2011

 February was named after the Latin term februum, which means purification, via the purification ritual Februa held on February 15 in the old Roman calendar. – Sad to say

 I explain the Sabbath each week

 

This is how simple it is:

  The Sabbath is the 4th Commandment of the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3^rd month, Sivan

 Exod. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

 

Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

זכר  Remember

zâkar - zaw-kar' - A primitive root; properly to mark (so as to be recognized), that is, to remember; by implication to mention; make mention of, be mindful, recount, record (-er), remember, make to be remembered, bring (call, come, keep, put) to (in) remembrance, still, think on, well.

 

[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

 

[10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yehovah thy God:

-----

Rev.1 [10] I was in the Spirit on Yehovah's Day - (The Sabbath Exod. 20:10)

-----

Back to verse 10

in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

[11] For in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

 --------

Isa. 58 [13] If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Yehovah, honourable; and shalt honour him,

 

1 - not doing thine own ways,

 

2 - nor finding thine own pleasure,

 

3 - nor speaking thine own words:

 

[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yehovah hath spoken it.

------------

Lev. 23 [3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an "holy convocation"; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.

Dwellingמושׁב  môshâv - seat, assembly, dwelling-place, dwelling, your  situation, location, (at) time of dwelling

------------

The Sabbath is a "holy convocation"

מקרא  miqra: convocation, convoking, reading, a calling together, sacred assembly, something called out, that is, a public meeting (the act, the persons, or the place); also a rehearsal

 

קדשׁ kodesh: a sacred place or thing; consecrated, dedicated, hallowed, holiness, saint, sanctuary, apartness, sacredness, separateness, apartness, sacredness, holiness

 ------------

Buying and selling is evil on the Sabbath

Neh. 13 [16] There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

[17] Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them,  What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?

------------------------------------------

 

 Today's Topic: Forget not Yehovah, the God of Israel

Always remind each other - Lest we forget about the God of Israel!

 

Purim - A good time to reflect and remind ourselves on the many things of the God of Israel that are "hidden"

 

Esth.9 [1] Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar

אדר  a-dar - A primitive root; to expand, that is, be great or (figuratively) magnificent: - (become) glorious, honorable – (Purim)

 

(A mantle, cloak)

"Hidden - Star"

----------

Book of Esther

Always remind each other - Lest we forget about the God of Israel!

 

Esth.9 [17] On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

 

[18] But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof; and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

[19] Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.

[20] And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,

[21] To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,

 

[22] As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

[23] And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;

[24] Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;

 

[25] But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

[26] Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
[27] The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
[28] And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.

[29] Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
[30] And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

[31] To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.

[32] And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.

---------------

 

In Hebrew the word Esther means "star" but the root of the word Esther is satar and means "hidden".

 

The words “God of Israel, Lord” are hidden in this book of Purim

 

Something or someone glorious is "hidden"

 

Is the "Morning Star - The Word of Yehovah", the "real Messiah", hidden from this world?

Rev. 22 [16] I Yeshua have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.

 

I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

--------------

The God of Israel is hidden

The God of Israel's true Messiah, the Word of God is hidden

God's ways are hidden

The God of Israel's commandments are hidden

The God of Israel's laws are hidden

The God of Israel's feasts are hidden

The God of Israel's Sabbath is hidden

The God of Israel's food laws are hidden

The God of Israel's Words are hidden

And so much more

Always remind each other - Lest we forget about the God of Israel!

 

Pss. 95 [6] O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before Yehovah our maker.
[7] For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
[8] Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
[9] When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

 

[10] Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

 

[11] Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Heb. 3 [7] Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
[8] Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
[9] When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

[10] Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways

.
[11] So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
[12] Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
[13] But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
[14] For we are made partakers of Messiah, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
[15] While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
[16] For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
[17] But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
[18] And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
[19] So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Pss. 147 [20] He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Yehovah.

 

Jer. 4 [22] For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

 

Hos. 5 [4] They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known Yehovah.

---------------

Deut. 4 [9] Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

[23] Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of Yehovah your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which Yehovah thy God hath forbidden thee.

 

Deut. 6

[1] Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which Yehovah your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
[2] That thou mightest fear Yehovah thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
[3] Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as Yehovah God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
[4] Hear, O Israel: Yehovah our God is one LORD:
[5] And thou shalt love Yehovah thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
[6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
[7] And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
[8] And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
[9] And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
[10] And it shall be, when Yehovah thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
[11] And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

[12] Then beware lest thou forget Yehovah, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

[13] Thou shalt fear Yehovah thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
[14] Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
[15] (For Yehovah thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of Yehovah thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
[16] Ye shall not tempt Yehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
[17] Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of Yehovah your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
[18] And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of Yehovah: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which Yehovah sware unto thy fathers,
[19] To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as Yehovah hath spoken.
[20] And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Yehovah our God hath commanded you?
[21] Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and Yehovah brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
[22] And Yehovah shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
[23] And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
[24] And Yehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Yehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
[25] And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before Yehovah our God, as he hath commanded us.

 

Deut. 8 [11] Beware that thou forget not Yehovah thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

[14] Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget Yehovah thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

[19] And it shall be, if thou do at all forget Yehovah thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

Deut. 9 [7] Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst Yehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against Yehovah.

 

Deut. 25 [19] Therefore it shall be, when Yehovah thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which Yehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.

 

Deut. 30

[1] And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither Yehovah thy God hath driven thee,
[2] And shalt return unto Yehovah thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
[3] That then Yehovah thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither Yehovah thy God hath scattered thee.
[4] If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will Yehovah thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
[5] And Yehovah thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
[6] And Yehovah thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Yehovah thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
[7] And Yehovah thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
[8] And thou shalt return and obey the voice of Yehovah, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
[9] And Yehovah thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for Yehovah will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
[10] If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Yehovah thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto Yehovah thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

[11] For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

[12] It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
[13] Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
[14] But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

Rom. 10

[1] Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
[2] For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
[3] For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
[4] For Messiah is the end (goal) of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.
[5] For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
[6] But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Messiah down from above:)
[7] Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Messiah again from the dead.)
[8] But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

[9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Yeshua, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
[11] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
[12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
[13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of Lord Yeshua shall be saved.

back to Deut. 30

[15] See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
[16] In that I command thee this day to love Yehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and Yehovah thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
[17] But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
[18] I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
[19] I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
[20] That thou mayest love Yehovah thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which Yehovah sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

 

Deut. 32 [18] Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

 

Jer. 2 [32] Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

 

Jer. 3 [21] A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten Yehovah their God.

 

Jer. 13 [25] This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith Yehovah; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

 

Jer. 18 [15] Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;[16] To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

 

Jer. 23 [25] I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. [26] How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; [27] Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

 

Ezek. 23 [35] Therefore thus saith Yehovah GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

 

Hos. 4 [6] My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

 

Hos. 8 [14] For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

 

Hos. 13 [6] According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

 

Psalm 50

[1] The mighty God, even Yehovah, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.
[2] Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
[3] Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
[4] He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people.
[5] Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
[6] And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. Selah.
[7] Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
[8] I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
[9] I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
[10] For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
[11] I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
[12] If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
[13] Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
[14] Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
[15] And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
[16] But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?
[17] Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee.
[18] When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
[19] Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.
[20] Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
[21] These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

[22] Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

[23] Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

This is a good time to reflect and remind ourselves about some Holy Days, Feasts and some Sabbaths that are not on the 7th day that are soon to come.

God's New Year is coming – the 1st Month of God (ha Aviv/Nisan)

Passover – ha Aviv 14th

First day of Unleavened bread (a Sabbath) ha Aviv 15

First Fruits ha Aviv 17

Last day of Unleavened Bread (ha Aviv 21 (a Sabbath)

----------

Always remind each other - Lest we forget about the God of Israel!

Back to the book of Esther – Purim for a moment

In Hebrew the word Esther means star but the root of the word Esther is satar and means hidden.

The words God, Lord do not appear in this book, they are hidden.

-----

I detect a evil root, a seed and a trail from Haman back through time to Agag the king of the Amalekites , Amalek and Esau.

 

Exod. 17 [14] And Yehovah said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

 

Num. 24 [20] And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.

 

Deut. 25 [17] Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt; [18] How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.

 

1 Sam. 15 Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Yehovah

 

Rom. 9 [13] As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

 

Mal. 1 [3] And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

 

Esth. 7 [10] So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai.

 

Esth. 9 : 14 they hanged Haman's ten sons.

Maybe even a Nazi connection

All AntiChrists - AntiMessiahs

1 John 2 [18] Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

 

[22] Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

 

1 John 4 [3] And every spirit that confesseth not that Yeshua is the Messiah is come in the flesh (of Israel) is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

 

2 John 1 [7] For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Yeshua is the Messiah and has come in the flesh (of Israel). This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

----------------

Some misc. info

Three names of Haman’s the ten sons have in their spelling a small Hebrew letter:

תָ 400 - פַּרְשַׁנְדָּתָא

שְׁ 300 - פַּרְמַשְׁתָּא

זָ 7 - יְזָתָא

= 707 or 14 or 5

There are many opinions on this subject

---------------------

Book of Esther, hidden messages of the Messiah

A quick review

The Seventeenth of Nisan /ha Aviv, Feast of first-fruits

Resurrection, Deliverance and Salvation

Here are some thoughts:

 

thirteenth day of the first month (day before Passover, Nisan / Aviv 14 )

Esth.3:[12] Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.

Esth.4:[16] Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days , night or day

:

Sounds like Jonah's prophecy of Messiah

 

Jonah 1 [17] Now Yehovah had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah.

And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

 

Matt. 12 [40] For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

---

Esth. 5: [1] Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

Sounds like Messiah's resurrection on the third day (approx. 15 times in the Word)

1Cor. 15 [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

 

This could be the 16th of ha Aviv/Nisan

----

Esth. 5: [8] If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king hath said.

This could be the 17th of Aviv / Nisan

Read below:

Esth. 7: [1] So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.[2] And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.[ 3] Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:[ 4] For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.[5] Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?[6 ] And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
[7] And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.[8 ] Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.[ 9] And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.[ 10] So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

The People of the God of Israel Delivered!

 Yeshua rose on the third day, (which was the first day of the week)

The 17th of ha Aviv / Nisan, Feast of first-fruits – Messiah rose and delivered us!

Last of all, some of Judaism's tales

From jewfaq.org/toc.htm and other sites

What do you think of this below?

We are also commanded to eat, drink and be merry. According to the Talmud, a person is required to drink until he cannot tell the difference between "cursed be Haman" and "blessed be Mordecai," though opinions differ as to exactly how drunk that is. A person certainly should not become so drunk that he might violate other commandments or get seriously ill. In addition, recovering alcoholics or others who might suffer serious harm from alcohol are exempt from this obligation .

We are commanded to send out gifts of food or drink, and to make gifts to charity. The sending of gifts of food and drink is referred to as shalach manos (lit. sending out portions). Among Ashkenazic Jews, a common treat at this time of year is hamentaschen (lit. Haman's pockets or ears, some say). These triangular fruit-filled cookies are supposed to represent Haman's three-cornered hat.

Some say it is customary to hold carnival-like celebrations on Purim, to perform plays and parodies, and to hold beauty contests. Some refer to Purim as the Jewish Mardi Gras.

Some say Purim is not subject to the sabbath-like restrictions on word that some other holidays are; however, some sources indicate that we should not go about our ordinary business on Purim out of respect for the holiday.

Talmud - Megiilah 7b Raba said: It is the duty of a man to mellow himself [with wine] on Purim until he cannot tell the difference between cursed be Haman? and blessed be Mordecai?

There are fancy dress parties (including a tradition of cross-dressing) and mockery of those who at other times are much respected

Deut.22 [5] The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto Yehovah thy God.

Shabbat Shalom

Always remind each other - Lest we forget about the God of Israel!
