I wish my Jewish friends a happy Purim. It is both a wonderful feast and a wonderful story. Over a year ago I brought a message from Esther about the mystery of godliness and the mystery of iniquity. Mordacai resembled the Messiah as he suffered and then was glorified. Haman (Boo, hiss) and the vieling of his face is a shadow of the judgement Satan will recieve. First Haman covered his own face out of humiliation and then his face was covered again when the King ordered his execusion. Satan's judgement is similar. He will first be bound for a thousand years to be humiliated. After his release he will attack Israel again but then will be defeated and sent into the lake of fire.
However, my thoughts for Purim this year is for the historical account of Esther. The book tells the story of Israel's persecussion and it's salvation. In recent history we have seen Israel go through many sorrows. Satan still persues the Woman of Revelation 12. And it is safe to say that God will again deliver the nation and bring salvation to Israel. I believe Israel still has it's worst day ahead of her (the time of Jacob's trouble), yet I also believe that they will call upon Yeshua HaMashiach 'Baruch haba bashem adonai', then Israel will be saved.
