Sundown Saturday March 23 the Jews celebrate Purim. Based on the Book of Esther, Jews celebrate yet another historical failure of their enemies’ attempt to annihilate the chosen people. Satan’s goal to eliminate Israel and the Jews is repeated through thousands of years, always ending in failure. Purim is a happy celebration of one of Satan’s defeats. Jews celebrate with parties, parades, costumes and reenactments of the story of Esther, Mordecai, and the evil Haman. We often quote Psalm 83 where this Satanic purpose is revealed. Two observations are clear, that the enemies of Israel are motivated by their hatred of Yehovah God, and they intend to stamp out the very memory of Israel.
“For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate You have lifted up their head. They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” Psalm 83:2-4
This year it has special significance in the context of the Gaza War. It is not insignificant that the perpetrator in Esther is the same Persia/Iran behind the Gaza War today. Persia changed their name to Iran on March 21, 1935, two days after Purim in that year. The location was Hitler’s Berlin and the purpose was to join with the Nazi scourge.
“Unfortunately, with the rise of Hitler in the 1930’s, “Aryan” came to be associated with the Nazi definition: being of Non-Jewish Caucasian descent, especially the blue eyed, blond haired Nordic races that Hitler himself favored and hoped to make a master race. … At the suggestion of the Persian Legation in Berlin, the Tehran government, on the Persian New Year, March 21, 1935, substituted Iran for Persia as the official name of the country.” Persians Are Not Arabs
Let’s not get too far into the weeds. The point is that the demonic principality ruling Iran today is the same as Nazi Germany and ancient Persia. The devil is still at it. It will end only when the Messiah comes. The current timing indicates that we are closer than we think to all the end of days prophesies being fulfilled. How ironic and timely that Iran assumes a new position at the United Nations during Purim:
Repeating History: Evil Iranian Leader To Chair UN Agency… On Purim – The Islamic Republic of Iran assumed the presidency of the United Nations Conference on Disarmament on Monday March 18.
Alternate Reality: Iran Becomes President of UN Conference on Disarmament
“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” Matthew 24:32-35
Even so, come quickly Yeshua, our Messiah! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, the troops, the leaders, and for rain.

Linking Israel’s Prophetic Events & Iran
17 04 2024Connect the Dots = Mystery Solved – Iran is about to be attacked by Israel after Iran’s bombardment of Israel last Saturday night. Can we know what happens next? Yes, if we connect the dots, we can see the relationship between different pieces of information. Iran will have a major defeat leading to a time of peace. Israel prophecy is clarified by understanding the Biblical events timeline. I think of it as connecting the dots. Instead of seeing unrelated events we begin to recognize a pattern unfolding that links the events to each other.
There are three modern day Israel events that reveal the pattern. They are the Holocaust, the Arab invasions of Israel’s new state, and then the intrusion of Iran into the mix. I am not prophesying; I am laying out simple prophetic Scriptures. If it is just from me it is subjective, but if it is revealed in the Bible we can take it to the bank. Each of the three events above are predicted in Scripture.
Gog and Magog? Not! Here are the seven phrases in Ezekiel 38 regarding Israel’s status before the Gog and Magog invasion. This is why I believe all the talk about that Gog invasion being imminent is mistaken. I was in Israel just last September and saw the 25 foot walls in many places. They will be removed when real peace comes and after that time of peace with their neighbors, then comes the Ezekiel 38 Invasion.
Please pray for the daily threats, developments and decisions right now. This is a critical point in history. God knows the end from the beginning and He has it all under control. His will is being done. Messiah Yeshua is with us and will never leave us or forsake us.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and wisdom in the time of war.
