Let’s pray
Our Father
which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
[10] Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
[11] Give us this day our daily bread.
[12] And forgive us our sins, for we also
forgive every one that is indebted to us.
[13] And lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
[14] For if ye forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
[15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Today we use the
Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s,
February 28, 2015
The last day of the
month
February -- month of Februa
Middle English Februarius
Latin Februarius "of Februa"
Latin Februa(s) "Februa" + -arius "ary (pertaining to)"
Latin Februarius mensis "month of Februa"
Latin dies februatus "day
of purification"
Februarius had 28 days, until circa 450
BC when it had 23 or 24 days on some of every second year, until Julius when it had 29 days on every fourth year
and 28 days otherwise.
-----------------
We acknowledge God’s
calendar
We are now in the 12th
Month called Adar, 8th day
Ezra 6 [15] And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of
Darius the king.
Esth 3 [7] In the first month, that is, the
month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot,
before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
אֲדָר = “glorious” –
“hidden”
Soon
Purim, God’s victory over Haman our enemy – Adar 14

Some dates to be
aware of:
Purim next
Friday, March 6
God’s New
Year is approximately 3 weeks away – ha aviv - Nisan
Approximately
5 weeks from now is Passover, the feast of unleavened bread, and first fruits.
Seems like
a good time to reflect and examine ourselves:
Pss. 26
[1] Judge me,
Yehovah; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Yehovah;
therefore I shall not slide.
[2] Examine me, Yehovah, and prove me; try my reins
and my heart.
[3] For thy lovingkindness is
before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
[4] I have not sat with vain persons, neither
will I go in with dissemblers.
[5] I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with
the wicked.
[6] I will wash mine hands in innocency: so
will I compass thine altar, Yehovah:
[7] That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all
thy wondrous works.
[8] Yehovah, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place
where thine honour dwelleth.
[9] Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
[10] In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.
[11] But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be
merciful unto me.
[12] My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I
bless Yehovah.
2 Cor. 13
[5] Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove
your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Yeshua the Messiah is in
you, except ye be reprobates?
------------------
1 Cor. 11
[27]… whosoever
shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be
guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
[28] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat
of that bread, and drink of that cup.
[29] For he that eateth
and drinketh unworthily, eateth
and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the
Lord's body.
[30] For this cause many are weak and sickly
among you, and many sleep.
[31] For
if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
[23] For I have received of
the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Yeshua the same
night in which he was betrayed took bread:
[24] And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat:
this is my body, which is broken for you: this do
in remembrance of me.
[25] After the
same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in
remembrance of me.
[26] For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this
cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

Today’s topic:
Let’s talk about Purim
"The Invisible, Hidden -
Star"
---------
Adar אֲדָר
א - first letter in the Hebrew alphabet and is " hidden or silent "
דָר means to dwell, live
I can see by this word Adar, when broken down,
it can convey a message that the invisible God wants to dwell
among us and in us.
Exod.25 [8] And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
Exod.29 [45] And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and
will be their God.[46] And they shall know that I am Yehovah their God, that brought them forth out
of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them:
I am Yehovah their God
---------
Adar - A
primitive root; to expand, that is, be great or (figuratively) magnificent: -
(become) glorious, honorable. (A mantle, cloak)
----------
Hadassah, that is, Esther -- הֲדַסָּה,
הִיא
אֶסְתֵּר
In Hebrew
the word Esther means "star" but the root of the word Esther is satar and means
"hidden".
Notice,
the words God, Lord are "hidden" in
this book of Esther, not mentioned.
Something or someone glorious is "hidden"
Is
the "Morning Star - The Word of Yehovah", and the "real
Messiah", hidden from this world?
Check your bibles in Isa.
14 :12
Isaiah
14:12
Isa.14 [12] How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
אֵיךְ
נָפַלְתָּ
מִשָּׁמַיִם, הֵילֵל

נִגְדַּעְתָּ
לָאָרֶץ,
חוֹלֵשׁ
עַל-גּוֹיִם
הֵילֵל
בֶּן-שָׁחַר
הֵילֵל haylal -
Lucifer - parsed down to the yud
root in Hebrew - ילל =
wail, howl, lament…
בֶּן שָׁחַר Ben-sha-har
- son of the black of the morning
Yeshua
is the “Morning Star”, not Satan. Satan is
the black of the morning
Rev.
22 [16] I Yeshua / Jesus
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.
--------------------
This coming Friday, we will
read the whole book of Esther, Lord wiling
For now we will read:
Esth.9
[1] Now in the twelfth month, that is,
the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment
and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of
the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary,
that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
[2] The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the
provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such
as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them
fell upon all people.
[3] And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies,
and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell
upon them.
[4] For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out
throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
[5] Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and
slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
[6] And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and
destroyed five hundred men.
[7] And Parshandatha, and Dalphon,
and Aspatha,
[8] And Poratha, and Adalia,
and Aridatha,
[9] And Parmashta, and Arisai,
and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
[10] The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the
enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
[11] On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan
the palace was brought before the king.
[12] And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed
five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten
sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it
shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and
it shall be done.
[13] Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews
which are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according unto
this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
[14] And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
[15] For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered
themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew
three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they
laid not their hand.
[16] But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves
together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew
of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the
prey,
Why do we observe and acknowledge Purim?
Let’s read:
[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.
Which we are reading today 2015
-----------------
The book of Esther, I see a
hidden messages of the Messiah
Let's review
Death, Resurrection, Deliverance and Salvation
Here are my thoughts:
The thirteenth day of the first month (in the evening - just before Passover, Nisan / ha 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.
---
Back to Esther
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 (the 3rd day is approx. 15 times in scripture)
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 haAviv/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 ha 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.
People of God Delivered! Yeshua / Jesus rose on
the third day, the 17th of ha Aviv / Nisan, first-fruits - Messiah delivered us!
--------------------------
As Moses, we need to endure, as seeing Him (God, Messiah) who is
invisible, hidden!
Heb.11 [27] By
faith he (Moses) forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
----------
Now unto the King eternal,
Immortal, invisible,
The only wise God, be honor
And glory forever and ever,
Amen!
Shabbat shalom
