Commentary
on Esther Part 3: Purim in the Last Days
Introduction
Commentary on Esther Part II: Purim in the Last Days
(No. 063B)
“Part 3 takes the Commentary
on Esther to the Last Days and examines the days of Purim in the Last Days with
the attempts to wipe out the Hebrew people and the consequent results.
In Parts 1-2 we saw the
actual significance of the Book of Esther and its application to the Messiah
and the Church of God as the bride of Christ. It also showed the place of the
Jews in the process and the significance of the Feast of Purim. We will examine
that relationship in the trials of the Last Days.
In Parts 1-2 we saw the
players in the story and their identities in the wider more spiritual
application. We saw Mordecai represented the Messiah and Esther was the Church.
Vashti was the designated
royal house of Judah that refused the calling and was put away but not killed
so that the king could remember her. This was also the whole house of Israel.
Esther was called and chosen
in her place as the Israel of God (see Nos. 001B and
001C).
In Chapter 7, we saw that the
king’s eunuch, Harbo’na, was ordered to hang Haman on the gallows that he had
prepared for Mordecai. Once Harbo’na hanged Haman, the king’s anger abated.
Mordecai was then placed in charge of the House of Haman and given his ring of
office. This represents not only the killing of the leader of the physical
enemies of Israel and the Church but also the confinement of Satan and the
transfer of power to Christ in the Last Days. Harbo’na represents the archangel
at the Throne of God charged with the confinement of Satan.
To refresh us on the text
involved at the end of the sequence we read as follows.
Note that the letter to destroy the Jews had been sent to all the provinces of the empire to kill all the Jews throughout the empire.”
Chapter 8
1On that day King Ahasu-e'rus gave to Queen
Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mor'decai came before the
king, for Esther had told what he was to her; 2and the king
took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to
Mor'decai. And Esther set Mor'decai over the house of Haman. 3Then Esther spoke again to the
king; she fell at his feet and besought him with tears to avert the evil design
of Haman the Ag'agite and the plot which he had devised against the Jews. 4And
the king held out the golden scepter to Esther, 5and Esther rose and
stood before the king. And she said, "If it please the king, and if I have
found favor in his sight, and if the thing seem right before the king, and I be
pleasing in his eyes, let an order be written to revoke the letters devised by
Haman the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, which he wrote to destroy the Jews
who are in all the provinces of the king.
6For how can I endure to see the calamity that is coming to
my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?" 7Then
King Ahasu-e'rus said to Queen Esther and to Mor'decai the Jew, "Behold, I
have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows,
because he would lay hands on the Jews. 8And you may write as you
please with regard to the Jews, in the name of the king, and seal it with the
king's ring; for an edict written in the name of the king and sealed with the
king's ring cannot be revoked." 9The king's secretaries were
summoned at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the
twenty-third day; and an edict was written according to all that Mor'decai
commanded concerning the Jews to the satraps and the governors and the princes
of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces,
to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language,
and also to the Jews in their script and their language. 10The
writing was in the name of King Ahasu-e'rus and sealed with the king's ring,
and letters were sent by mounted couriers riding on swift horses that were used
in the king's service, bred from the royal stud. 11By these the king
allowed the Jews who were in every city to gather and defend their lives, to
destroy, to slay, and to annihilate any armed force of any people or province
that might attack them, with their children and women, and to plunder their
goods, 12upon one day throughout all the provinces of King
Ahasu-e'rus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of
Adar. 13A copy of what was written was to be issued as a decree in
every province, and by proclamation to all peoples, and the Jews were to be
ready on that day to avenge themselves upon their enemies. 14So the
couriers, mounted on their swift horses that were used in the king's service,
rode out in haste, urged by the king's command; and the decree was issued in
Susa the capital. 15Then Mor'decai went out from the presence of the
king in royal robes of blue and white, with a great golden crown and a mantle
of fine linen and purple, while the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced. 16The
Jews had light and gladness and joy and honor. 17And in every
province and in every city, wherever the king's command and his edict came,
there was gladness and joy among the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many from
the peoples of the country declared themselves Jews, for the fear of the Jews
had fallen upon them. (RSV)
Intent of Chapter 8
“The sequence here in chapter
8 was to judge according to what had been determined by Satan and the world
system as depicted by Haman the Agagite. The structure is that the world was
judged out of its own mouth. As the forces arrayed against the elect were
determined to harm the elect then it was decreed that they would be judged as
they had judged.
The time sequence on the Last
Days is part of the message of this book. This was to happen at the last month
of the year. In the texts of Parts 1-3 we spoke of the depiction of the 30 days
of the Mourning for Moses. This
period was examined in the paper The
Last Thirty Years: The Final Struggle (No. 219).
But note that the Message for
the salvation of Judah was written in the Third month on the Twenty-third Day
(v. 9). This was after Pentecost had passed. Symbolically this was after the
Holy Spirit had been given to the Church of God and the Church had interceded
with God for Judah and the nation of Israel.
The secretaries (v. 9)
represent the prophets of God and the elders of the Churches of God that have
written and published the texts of the Bible in both Testaments. These
secretaries continue into the Last Days. These people and the process of the
witness of the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Law of God have been examined in
the paper The Witnesses (including the Two Witnesses) (No. 135).
Prophetically we might note
that it is 270 days before Purim or 270 years before Purim on a year-for-a-day
basis. We will come back to this aspect later. The process of the witness
intensifies from this time all over the world.”
Chapter 9
1Now in the twelfth month, which is
the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's command
and edict were about to be executed, on the very day when the enemies of the
Jews hoped to get the mastery over them, but which had been changed to a day
when the Jews should get the mastery over their foes, 2the Jews
gathered in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus to
lay hands on such as sought their hurt. And no one could make a stand against
them, for the fear of them had fallen upon all peoples. 3All the
princes of the provinces and the satraps and the governors and the royal
officials also helped the Jews, for the fear of Mor'decai had fallen upon them.
4For Mor'decai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread
throughout all the provinces; for the man Mor'decai grew more and more
powerful. 5So the Jews smote all their enemies with the sword,
slaughtering, and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated
them. 6In Susa the capital itself the Jews slew and destroyed five
hundred men, 7and also slew Par-shan-da'tha and Dalphon and Aspa'tha
8and Pora'tha and Ada'lia and Arida'tha 9and Parmash'ta
and Ar'isai and Ar'idai and Vaiza'tha, 10the ten sons of Haman the
son of Hammeda'tha, the enemy of the Jews; but they laid no hand on the
plunder. 11That very day the number of those slain in Susa the
capital was reported to the king. 12And the king said to Queen
Esther, "In Susa the capital the Jews have slain five hundred men and also
the ten sons of Haman. What then have they done in the rest of the king's
provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. And what further
is your request? It shall be fulfilled." 13And Esther said,
"If it please the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be allowed tomorrow
also to do according to this day's edict. And let the ten sons of Haman be
hanged on the gallows." 14So the king commanded this to be
done; a decree was issued in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman were hanged. 15The
Jews who were in Susa gathered also on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar
and they slew three hundred men in Susa; but they laid no hands on the plunder.
16Now the other Jews who were in the king's provinces also gathered
to defend their lives, and got relief from their enemies, and slew seventy-five
thousand of those who hated them; but they laid no hands on the plunder. 17This
was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they
rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness. 18But the Jews
who were in Susa gathered on the thirteenth day and on the fourteenth, and
rested on the fifteenth day, making that a day of feasting and gladness. 19Therefore
the Jews of the villages, who live in the open towns, hold the fourteenth day
of the month of Adar as a day for gladness and feasting and holiday-making, and
a day on which they send choice portions to one another. 20And
Mor'decai recorded these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in
all the provinces of King Ahasu-e'rus, both near and far, 21enjoining
them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar and also the
fifteenth day of the same, year by year, 22as the days on which the
Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month that had been turned for
them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they
should make them days of feasting and gladness, days for sending choice portions
to one another and gifts to the poor. 23So the Jews undertook to do
as they had begun, and as Mor'decai had written to them. 24For Haman
the Ag'agite, the son of Hammeda'tha, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted
against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to crush
and destroy them; 25but when Esther came before the king, he gave
orders in writing that his wicked plot which he had devised against the Jews
should come upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the
gallows. 26Therefore they called these days Purim, after the term
Pur. And therefore, because of all that was written in this letter, and of what
they had faced in this matter, and of what had befallen them, 27the
Jews ordained and took it upon themselves and their descendants and all who
joined them, that without fail they would keep these two days according to what
was written and at the time appointed every year, 28that these days
should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, in every family,
province, and city, and that these days of Purim should never fall into disuse
among the Jews, nor should the commemoration of these days cease among their
descendants. 29Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Ab'ihail, and
Mor'decai the Jew gave full written authority, confirming this second letter
about Purim. 30Letters were sent to all the Jews, to the hundred and
twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasu-e'rus, in words of peace and
truth, 31that these days of Purim should be observed at their
appointed seasons, as Mor'decai the Jew and Queen Esther enjoined upon the
Jews, and as they had laid down for themselves and for their descendants, with
regard to their fasts and their lamenting. 32The command of Queen
Esther fixed these practices of Purim, and it was recorded in writing. (RSV)
Intent of Chapter 9
Commentary on Esther Part II: Purim in the Last Days
(No. 063B)
“Chapter 9 deals with this
final conflict and we will try to outline the time-frame in the sequence of the
Last Days (see also the paper The
Day of the Lord and the Last Days (No. 192)).”
Note that the sequence in Chapter 9 (vv. 7 and 14) shows a repeat of
the killing of the ten sons of Haman. This duality mentioned points to a
duality of type antitype in the killing of Purim and points to the end time
application as well as to the prior event.
vv. 10,15,16 “They laid no hand on the plunder” (see the paper The Golden Calf (No. 222)).
We have identified the Days
of the Mourning for Moses as the last thirty years on a year-for-a-day basis of
the final Jubilee of the six thousand years of the Rule of Satan. That is the
120th Jubilee of the creation from the closure of Eden. That period
is the end of the Times of the Gentiles or the Times of the Nations. These
times ended in 1996-7. That year coincides with the end of the Thirty Years of
the Mourning for Aaron.
The year 1967 was the year
that ended the struggles with the nations outside of the Promised Land and the
consolidation of Jerusalem in the Six-Day War. This sequence is explained
in the Commentary on Daniel F027, (viii) (xii) and (xiii).
Remember also that Miriam
died after they had camped at Meribah in this year in the First month. Edom
refused Israel permission to pass and came out against them (Num. 20:1).
This period went from the end
of the 2520 years from the Battle of Carchemish ending with the butchery of WWI
in 1916 and the capture of Beersheba and Jerusalem in 1917. 1916 commenced the
last eighty-year period of the Nations (see also The Fall of Egypt: The Prophecy of
Pharaoh’s Broken Arms (No. 036)).
By 1967 Jerusalem was
consolidated. 1996-7 saw the end of the Seven Times given to the Nations from
Babylon, as we saw in Daniel Chapter 2. The development of the Mission of the
church commenced in this period. By 1987 the Temple was brought into judgment
and it was to be measured. This process is covered in the paper Measuring the Temple (No. 137).
The church was reorganised
for the last phase of the Churches of God in the Third year of the Sabbath
Cycle in 1994.
The end of the Time of the
Nations or the Time of the Gentiles was in 1996/7.
The sacred year 1997/8 began
the final Thirty Years before the occupation of the millennial system in the
Holy Land. This period is then the symbolic Adar or last month before the
occupation. In this month of years we would expect to see this final Purim.
1998 began the Restoration of
the Law of God in the Sabbath year and the Law was read a second time in the
Sabbath Year of 2005, and again in 2012 and 2019.
Purim as we see was to
commence on the 13th of the month and proceed to the 14th
and 15th of the month of the Mourning for Moses (vv. 17-21).
From 1997 on a year-for-a-day
period we come to the years 2009, 2010 and 2011.
We would expect to see over
the final period, from the cessation of the wars of elimination in 1967, a
period of extensive preparation by the enemies of the Holy People. This centres
primarily on the Churches of God as spiritual Israel as well as the Hebrew
peoples in both Judah and Israel.
This period was to be a
complex sequence of planning for the elimination of the power of the Holy
People and their economic and physical destruction.
The forces of Satan have
planned to bring about the economic destruction of the power of the Hebrew
peoples and once that is in play the attempt will be made at their total
physical destruction. This is symbolised by the persecutions of the Fifth Seal
of Revelation.
We would expect the final
attempts at their destruction to come into play from 13 to 15 Adar or from 2009
to 2011 being the 13th to 15th days of the Adar or month
of the Mourning for Moses of the Last Days. We
saw the GFC take up from 2008 and thus in 2009-2011 we saw the financial hits
to the GFC. We also saw the Trojan horse begin with the infiltrations of Europe
and the US under the EU and under the Obama administration in the US. That has
not stopped and the mass immigration into the English-speaking countries has
not stopped. In fact, it has accelerated since 2013 to the present day.
Over the Last Days the
confinement of Satan is necessary. The restoration of all things by Elijah and
the other Witness comes with their establishment at Jerusalem. Following the
days of the Two Witnesses we expect the intervention and then placement of Mordecai-Messiah
as Viceroy of this planet after the judgment of the Two Witnesses.
The major attempt at the
genocide of the Jews and in Israel was in WWII. The “Final Solution” was
planned in Europe and the first concentration camps were established in Germany
at Hamburg in 1932 by Trinitarians. Both Lutherans and Roman Catholics worked
on this “Final Solution.” In the end they provided the ratline to get the war
criminals out to the US, Australia and South America. Some of these clergy deny
the holocaust to this day. The popes supported them first by active assistance
and then by condonation and silence.
As the former Jesuit priest
Malachi Martin has charged, a mass has been said at St Peters in the 20th
century for the enthronement of Satan as god. He was killed before he wrote the
next expose. Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 are repeated.
At the Nuremburg trials one
of the Nazi leaders said, when he was sentenced to death, “This is Purim”.
Indeed the attempts against
the Jews were made on an ongoing basis as have been the wars against the
British and Anglo-Saxons who harbour the majority of those people. In 1739
Britain fought its war with Spain and the Holy Roman Empire suffered defeat at
the hand of the Turks. The Europeans, Russians and Turks signed treaties in
this year to end hostilities. Also in this year Jews were sentenced to life
imprisonment in Lisbon, Portugal. The attempts at the genocide of the Israelite
people have been met with frustration on an ongoing basis. 1739 was 270 years
before 2009.
The Book of Esther did not
say that attempts to kill the Jews would cease. It says that the attempts will
be overcome and those who plot to do so will die. These attempts are ongoing.
The Balfour Declaration was
made by Prime Minister Balfour after the defeat of the Turks in Beersheba and
before the taking of Jerusalem in 1917. It established the concept and right
and British support for the Jewish Homeland. From that time onwards the
genocide of the Jews has been planned and carried out both in Europe and the
Middle East.
It is now being openly
advocated both in Iran and among its satellites in the Middle East.
The Ten sons of Haman are the
same as the Ten horns or kings of the Empire of the Beast and the Ten toes of
iron and clay of the Last Roman Empire of Daniel chapter 2 (F027ii).
Note that the Book of Esther
states that in the capital at Susa the slaughter took place on the 14th
Adar also. The slaughter in the capitals of the Empire will be longer and more
severe than elsewhere. From the wars of the end we can expect the conflict to
last over two years from Europe into Iran (2022 to 2024 and onwards).
The attempted destruction of
the British, Celt and Anglo-Saxon people has been undertaken from European
Trinitarianism for centuries. They have never succeeded but they will make one
last attempt in the next few years.
The economic and physical
destruction of the US and British Commonwealth will be undertaken by these
servants of Satan both in Europe and the Middle East. Their plans and their
instruments of destruction will be used against them, and they will hang on their
own gallows as Haman and his ten sons were hanged. The iron and miry clay
represent the conflicting aims and objectives and peoples and systems in this
last empire. Christ will strike it from its occupation of the Middle East at
Jerusalem.
At the moment Iran, supported
by its Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian allies, is calling for the genocide of
the Jews. They chant “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas”. The activities by Hamas
are deliberate acts of terrorism that are being played up by the media all over
the Muslim and Western world and they contain fabrications against Israelis.
The actions in Gaza and among Palestinians are deliberately designed to justify
the genocide of Israel. There is no nation on earth that would tolerate the
persistent rocket attacks on its people such as inflicted by Hamas on Israel.
It is a policy of hate which is condoned by the UN in the full knowledge that
it is in violation of UN rules and the Geneva Convention. Egypt is used as a
funnel to get the rockets inside Gaza.
What the media has achieved
is to alienate Israel in the eyes of the world and allow Israel to be subjected
to hateful attacks and to a sense of isolation such that it will now elect
rightist politicians that will fight for Israel’s existence.
The media and the UN have
guaranteed that the nihilistic philosophy of Islamic terrorism has become
entrenched in the Islamic countries from Africa to Indonesia. The media has
entrenched the anti-Semitic philosophy of the Islamic and European religious hate
camps.
Israel is the only country in
the world that did not have the economy as its primary political focus in the
last few months before the Passover of 2009.
Islam does not read the Bible
and Trinitarians do not study the Bible either. They do not read it because it
does not suit their agenda. Their religious errors are condemned by what is
written there.
The word of the Living God is
quite clear. He will allow Israel to be dealt with and that includes the
nations that are derived from mixtures of those nations. He will allow them to
be purged and put to the sword and to suffer plagues and famines, but they will
not be allowed to be destroyed.
Every nation that joins these
extremists in calling for and attempting the genocide of Israel will be put to
the sword. That includes the leaders of their religious systems.
The Middle East will not
prevail and they will bring upon themselves their own destruction. No matter
where it is planned and no matter where the instruments are erected for the
elimination of the people of God, those who undertake the planning will themselves
be killed on their own instruments of genocide, even within Britain and America
themselves and that will extend to the EU and elsewhere.
We have dealt with the
expansion of Israel according to prophecy and the placement of the nation
within it to some degree in the papers The
Last Thirty Years: the Final Struggle (No. 219) and War of Hamon-Gog (No. 294).
These
papers were the outline and build up to the Wars of the End. These wars have
been prophesied in Scripture and Christ said that Scripture cannot be broken
(Jn. 10:35). God has given His word through the prophets and those things will
come to pass.
The only question we are now
left with is what timeframe would we expect to see the placement of Elijah and
the other witness on the planet? (See the paper The
Witnesses (including the Two Witnesses) (No. 135) and also No. 141D.)
The coming of the Witnesses is after the war of the Sixth Trumpet. The
structure of the events is discussed in the papers The
Advent of the Messiah Part I (No. 210A) and The Golden Jubilee and the Millennium (No. 300). See also No. 141C.
The placement of
the Two Witnesses has a direct effect on when the Messiah is to return. One is
dependent on the other and Scripture cannot be broken. Messiah returns to save
those who eagerly await him.
Thus if the Witnesses are not
here until much later we cannot expect the Messiah now until 1260 days after
their arrival from 2025 or even later, dependent on when the Witnesses take up
station in Jerusalem. Satan’s rule ends in the 120th Jubilee in
2027/8 in any event. Therefore, Messiah has to return and establish the
millennial administration in Jerusalem from 2028 onwards. From the parable of
the siege of Jericho we would expect the last seven days of the old order to
occur at least in the last Sabbath sequence from 2020 to 2027 (see the paper The Fall of Jericho (No. 142)).
The Witnesses, in those
circumstances, could not come later than the sacred year 2025/6. Christ has to
deal with Judah and reorganise the Holy Land with the attendant earthquakes and
restructuring.
Christ then has
to bring the armies of the world’s systems down to Armageddon and destroy them,
as foretold in Scripture. That is because the world, even after this sequence
of miracles, will not repent. The majority of those purporting to be Christians
today will declare Messiah to be Antichrist because he, as the Witnesses before
him, restores the Law of God. The true Antichrist will be established before
him, as a true religious figure, by these same people. Christ will slay him and
the false prophet at his coming. Thus we must assume that these figures of
false religion will be contemporaneous with the Witnesses. We can thus also assume that the Antichrist must
commence to rule with the false prophet and continue to 2028
We can thus conclude that
from the structure of the Jubilees as denoted in history and the Bible and –
ignoring the false post-Temple rabbinical 49-year system based on the
Babylonian intercalations – given this view of Purim and the Last Month of
Years of the Jubilee cycles and the structure of the Sign of Jonah and the
Church in the wilderness, the Witnesses could come any time from 2025/6 and
onwards and Messiah would follow them any time
from 2028 and onwards. We simply do not know the exact time of the
Witnesses and hence the arrival of the Messiah.
The
sequence of the Wars of the Trumpets has seen the bio-chemical wars of the
Fifth Trumpet developed by the globalists using the US, France, Canada and AU
to develop the weapons using the CCP and the Wuhan lab to develop and release
the differing weaponised viruses and poisons, released as pseudo-vaccines, from
2018-2022. The Great Awakening is now being affected as the people begin to
realise the evil and extent of the Globalists and their attempt at the
extermination of the European and Israelite Judeo-Christian civilisations.
In order to extend their power and the Globalist satanic NWO
they will incite the War of the Sixth Trumpet from 2022 onwards. That will kill
a third of mankind (cf. Wars of the End Part I: Wars of Amalek (No. 141C); Climate Change 2021 and the NWO (No. 218C); Conduct of the War of the Sixth Trumpet (No. 141C_2). This will place the final wars out into the
period to 2025/6 which is the treble harvest of the Jubilee that is set from
2027-2028).
All of this is in
accordance with the Plan and Command of God (see the papers The Sign of Jonah and the History of the
Reconstruction of the Temple (No. 013); Distortion of God’s Calendar in Judah
(No. 195B)).
The only thing we can be sure
of is that the forces of Satan will be defeated both in Asia and the Middle
East, the Americas and in its religious system of Europe. Its headquarters
there in Europe will be destroyed. The elimination of the Israelite people will
not be allowed because Mordecai/Messiah has completed his task and the final
phase of the prayers of Esther and the elect are still being accomplished.
Christ will rule as the
Viceroy of God on Earth. God determines what is to be done under His Laws. The
tithes of God are levied on land and on the coastlands and all its produce.”
1King Ahasu-e'rus laid tribute on the land and on
the coastlands of the sea. 2And all the acts of his power and might,
and the full account of the high honor of Mor'decai, to which the king advanced
him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Media
and Persia? 3For Mor'decai the Jew was next in rank to King
Ahasu-e'rus, and he was great among the Jews and popular with the multitude of
his brethren, for he sought the welfare of his people and spoke peace to all
his people. (RSV)

Update for Purim February
and March 2026.
For years the regime in Iran
has preached the genocide of Israel and the Jews and also of the US and the
British Commonwealth. It has mobilised the Shia in Iraq and in all its proxies
in Lebanon, Gaza and the Yemen. It has developed a regime of hate and
suppression and has aimed at the total suppression of the Elamites and the
Kurds under its control. Who are these people and what do they represent? The
Mullahs, and the Ayatollahs, that lead them are not Persians. They are
Amalekite Arabs that entered Iran millennia ago. Just as Haman was an Agagite
of the line of Hammedatha, so are these people also paganised Amalekites that
have corrupted the doctrines of Islam with the same Hadithic doctrines of Hubal
that entered Sunni Islam and, like the Sunni, they only argue about the
variations on the teachings that are averse to the teachings of the Hadith.
Their teachings and doctrines have nothing to do with early Islam and are
contrary to the Koran (see QS) and the Bible.
The value of the ten sons of Haman has a numerical value of 10, 868 (see Bullinger’s
note also on Ch. 8 v. 10 below). This has the dual prophetic meaning regarding
the deaths in the last days of both those of the Amalekites that died, and also
the Persians that they killed in the build up to Purim 48/120 or 2026. Both
groups of Amalekites and Elamites and other Persians will far exceed these
numbers, when it is all completed, and that will not include the millions in
greater losses of WWIII, still to come.
The Shia authorities in Iran
refused to stop preparation for the manufacture of nuclear weapons. They have also been preparing for the
invasion of Europe and the Western Democratic Nations in America and
Australasia by proxy immigrants (see Dan. 11:40; Attack of the King of the
South (No.
141D_6)). The other nations simply refused to allow Iran to have nuclear
weapons, and the matter got to a point in June 2025 where the US and Israel
commenced the Twelve Day War with Iran to destroy their nuclear capacity. That
did not stop Iran and, after that war, Iran still continued. In the final
negotiations leading up to Purim 48/120, in 2026, the US offered Iran continued
guaranteed supply of civil enriched uranium, at no cost, for purposes of
electricity, if they guaranteed to stop enrichment for nuclear weapons
production. They flat out refused. That told everyone that the aim was always
for Nuclear Bomb production.
Build up to Purim 2026
The US began the build up by
transfer of massive amounts of Naval and Marine and other Defence Force equipment
and personnel to the Middle East in preparation for a joint US-Israel military
operation. The conspicuous missing element was the ground force divisions. Some
were in neighbouring countries but not enough.
For some time since the 12
Day War, the build-up in the insurrection against the Ayatollahs, the
prospective shah in exile, Rehza Pahlavi, was in communication with the armed
forces. The intelligence gathering of Mossad was superlative. On the night of
28 February or 12 Adar the military forces in Iran revolted and attacked the
Regime HQ in the Moholoui (also termed Perisher) Area. Their aim was to destroy the key
administration and kill the Ayatollahs. They succeeded on the First Day of the
Purim sequence, in killing Ayatollah Khamenei, the Defence Minister and head of
the IRGC and a total of 48 top Iranian leaders. The forces were supported by
the air and naval forces of the US and Israel. The Iranian Guards still loyal
to the Regime launched over 200 missiles against Israel and drones against
Kuwait airport and the US bases in UAE, Qatar and Bahrain. So also the US FBI
has warned of Iranian activation of their proxy agents being activated in the
US to attack the US facilities and people. The conflict is aimed at regime
change and it will see the Attack of the King of the South (No. 141D_6)
activated. The real aim of the US action is to stop the BRICS development and
the undermining of the Petrodollar. The US also destroyed the Iranian Navy and
sunk it to the bottom of the sea. Iran has reacted and attacked all the Middle
East countries.
The Iranians have also tried to re-establish after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and the replacement Ayatollah Arafeh was killed within 24 hrs. They have now elected Khamenei’s son and he is now targeted. The US has given Iran four weeks and placed them under escalating air and missile attacks. We anticipate WWIII to escalate from Passover into the Empire of the Beast and that will last for 42 months (Rev. 11:1-2; 13:5; No. 141C)).
The sequence of Daniel
11:40-45 will be initiated (No. 141C_4C).
That will lead on to WWIII and the Sack of the Vatican (No. 141D_3)
over 2026-2027 and the elimination of the Trinitarian system in Europe and the
world (No.
141D_6B). The Empire of the Beast (No. 299A) will
emerge after WWIII. So also the False
Prophet and the Antichrist will emerge then (No. 141D_3A).
The Empire of the Beast will
declare Islam as a Religious Mental Disorder (No. 141D_6B). China
has already done so. That will extend to all religions based on the directions
of the Fallen Host posing as a Confederation of Alien Planets (see Nos. 141E_2B; 141E_2Bii). God
will send his Two Witnesses, Enoch and Elijah, within a few days of the
declaration of the Empire of the Beast (NWO) (Nos. 135; 141D). They will
take up their position at the Temple Mount. They will occupy the entire Mount
including the Al Aksa Moseque and they will deal with Islam as well as Judaism
and Christianity. All Imams there who will not repent will be killed immediately.
They will then begin to deal with all religious systems in Jerusalem and the
world.
Jerusalem will be taken back to the Original Biblical faith as it was in the First Century under Christ (No. 122D) and under Rashidun Islam (Q001A; Q001D; QS). There will be no Jew, Christian or Muslim left alive in Palestine or Israel by the death of the Witnesses prior to the arrival of the Messiah by Passover 2030. The Tenth of Abib 2030, or the Third Year of the 121st Jubilee, will be the Two Thousandth anniversary of Christ's Triumphal entry to Jerusalem. All prior to the same anniversary for his death and resurrection at Passover and the Wave Sheaf Offering of 30 CE and the granting of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost 30 CE. From then on, all mankind will be keeping the Law of God (L1) and the Testimony and the Temple Calendar that flows from the Law. Hadithic Islam has deliberately destroyed the Calendar in Islam (see Nos. 053; 274, 285; 083). Similarly Judaism has under Hillel (Nos. 156C; 195; 195C). Note also that Esther represents the Church of God that took over as the Vinyard of Israel from Vashti as Judah (and part Levi and Benjamin (see No. 212E)) had rejected its role as the elect. (See the notes on Chs. 8 and 9 above.) The rule was given to Mordecai over the House of Haman. This text signifies the transfer of rule from Satan to Christ in 2027-2030, starting with the Witnesses in 2026-2027 at the 120th Jubilee on to the end 2029 and the beginning of 2030, 1264 days from their arrival. Also, the Bible text states that Christ told Moses that he would fight against Amalek from generation to generation to the Last Days, and these will be the final wars (Ex. 17:16). Christ then goes on to take over the rule of the entire world, and all mankind worships the One True God Eloah under the Messiah, or Christ, as High Priest of the Elohim Host. All mankind, not in the First Resurrection (Nos. 136B; 143A; 143E), will then go to the Second Resurrection of the Dead and the Great White Throne Judgment (No. 143B). From the 1264th day to the 1290th day Messiah destroys the NWO and the armies of the Empire of the Beast and then from 1290th to the 1330th day Christ subjugates the nations and places them under the Elohim of the saints to rule for the Millennium in place of the demons. Those saints will include the elect of the Rashidun of the Church at Becca and Nabatea, of Early Islam, and at Medina. From day 1331-1335, we see the Second Exodus into Israel, for the establishment of the Millennial system (Nos. 300, 300B, 300C and 300 D).

particularizing each one of Haman's ten sons.
Verse 10
The
ten sons. In all Hebrew manuscripts and printed editions these ten names
are written with the word veeth, being the demonstrative pronoun = self, or
this same, or himself, thus: veeth Parshandatha, veeth Dalphon, veeth Aspatha,
veeth Poratha, veeth Adalia, veeth Aridatha, veth Parmashta, veeth Arisai,
veeth Aridai, veeth Vajezatha. It has been suggested that it is because they
were hanged one above another. But, as each Hebrew character is
a number as well as a letter, the numerical value of these names
(regarded as an addition sum) amounts to 10,244, or 13 x 788; while Haman the
Agagite = 117 (13x9), and Zeresh = 507 (13x39), and the whole family = 10,868
(13x836). See App-10 for the significance of this. On the other
hand, 'Eth - Hadassah hi ' (Esther 2:7 )
adds up 1,152 = 8x122, and "Mordecai", son of Jair, son of Shimei,
son of Kish, a Benjarnite (Esther 2:5 ),
adds up 1,912 = (8 x 239). See App-10 .
the
enemy of the Jews. See note on Esther 3:10 .
Slew

laid
they not their hand. Compare note on "take the spoil" (Esther 3:13 ).
They probably remembered taking the spoil instead of obeying in 1 Samuel 15:0 .
Hence the emphasis on this in verses: Esther 9:10 , Esther 9:15 , Esther 9:16 .
Verse 13
let
Hainan's ten sons be hanged. One of the ten deaths occasioned or obtained
by women. See note on Judges 4:21 .
be
hanged Not alive, but hanged up after death. They were slain in conflict
first. See verses: Esther 9:6 , Esther 9:7 .

Verse 16

themselves upon". Compare Esther 8:13 .
Verse 21
stablish =
ordain. Hebrew. kum, as in verses: Esther 9:29 , Esther 9:31 .
Verse 25

of the book.

Thus was prepared the way for the emancipation of the Jews, which, not long after, was proclaimed by Cyrus (Ezra 1:1 ), the son of Astyages and Esther (see App-57 ), and is further proof that this book comes, chronologically, before the book Ezra-Nehemiah. N.B. the year 461 is the midway year of the Babylonian Servitude (496-426). See special note on 2 Chronicles 36:21 .
