Countdown To Purim March 20th - 22nd!

What makes this date important?

First of all, we were given the sign of the fig tree generation (Matthew 24: 32-34), so we are still in the prophetic 70th year of Israel being birthed as a nation until 14th May 2019 which makes is a very high watch period for our Lord's return.

There is also a great convergence of things around this time which is very compelling, as well as the political instabillity currently in the world.  As a watchman it is my responsibility to point these things out, but I should remind you I am not a prophet, just keenly looking forward to our Lord's return with various possibilities in light of scripture and world events.

Convergence: Purim/Passover 2019

This could be very significant and exciting.  This year the Rabbis added a month to the Rabbinical calendar so that Passover falls on April 20th of 2019, but interestingly the Torah calendar did not add an extra month this year so Passover falls on March 22nd of 2019.  So for those Rabbis that added an extra month they will celebrate Purim on March 20th through to March 21st 2019.  Some Rabbis have predicted that their Messiah will show himself around this time!  (Link to news article)

While the others will celebrate Passover just one day later!  We know that Passover is a day of redemption and covenant confirmation, which should be a high watch period for the catching away of the Church.  What if the Rabbis predicted Messiah around Purim coincides with the arrival of Jesus for the Church on Passover.  Would this event eventually lead to provoking the Jews to Jealousy as prophesied in Matthew 24:30 and Zachariah 12:10 when they will mourn who thay had pierced.

Iran Planning To Attack Israel

We know for a long time now that Iran has been threatening to wipe Israel of the map and Israel faces Iranian sponsored terrorism on a daily basis.    Going by Revelation 12: 2-5 Israel (The woman) is in travail of birth (War) when the child (The church) is caught up to God's throne.

 The Restrainer - Who Is It?

We read in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 that the restarainer must be removed before the reavealing of the Antichrist. Here is a interesting and informative perspective from Amir Tsarfati.
