Dear Bee,
Here is the conclusion of the book of Esther, as well as, the information about the timing of the days of Purim, their relationship with the upcoming celestial alignments, and the information on the alignment that will occur tomorrow morning. (Just one note: in the Word of God, threes often come in pairs … something to ponder.)
Esther Chapter 8
“1On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her. 2And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
– Esther 8:1–16
3And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
4Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king, 5And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king’s provinces: 6For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
7Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews. 8Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.
9Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language. 10And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries: 11Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey, 12Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar. 13The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
14So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace. 15And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
16The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour. 17And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.”
Esther Chapter 9
“1Now 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;) 2The 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.
– Esther 9:1–32
3And 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. 4For 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. 5Thus 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.
6And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men. 7And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, 8And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, 9And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha, 10The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand. 11On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
12And 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.
13Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
14And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons. 15For 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. 16But 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, 17On 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. 18But 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.
19Therefore 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. 20And 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, 21To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly, 22As 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.
23And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them; 24Because 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; 25But 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.
26Wherefore 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, 27The 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; 28And 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.
29Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim. 30And 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, 31To 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. 32And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.”
For the last three verses of the book of Esther: Chapter 10.
As I stated before, there are two months of Adar this year. Currently, we are in the second occurrence of those two months of Adar. Whenever there are two months of Adar in a year, Purim is always celebrated in the second Adar. The Hebrew months always begin with the new moon. The moon began the current cycle when it changed its phase on the morning of March 2nd. However, Hebrew days do not begin at midnight. They begin at sundown. Therefore, the second day of the second month of Adar began at sundown on the 2nd of March and continued until sundown on the 3rd of March.
Now, I know that someone is going to say that is not right, Dale. The first day of second Adar begins at sundown on the 3rd of March, and that is correct according to the convention of man. However, Bee is not in Jerusalem, and the timing of all these celestial events is not based on Jerusalem. They are based on where Bee is at. You must understand that Jerusalem is currently without a temple. Therefore, there is nothing there to base a Hebrew calendar upon. It does not exist, but God has an allegory, and that is Bee.
Therefore, if we use this pattern, then we see that the 13th day of Adar begins at sundown on the 13th of March, and it ends at sundown on the 14th of March. Likewise, the 14th day of Adar begins at sundown on the 14th of March, and it ends at sundown on the 15th of March.
Hence, if we look at the celestial alignments that I mentioned in my last post there are two alignments on the 15th of March. There is one at midnight Mountain time (it actually occurs at 11:55 pm on the 14th Mountain time, 12:55 am Central, 1:55 am Eastern) and another one at 6:03 pm Eastern. Both of these alignments would fall into the 14th day of Adar most anywhere in those time zones. The only problem is that I made a mistake. I went the wrong direction with the evening alignment. It would not occur at 6:03 pm Eastern (Mar 15th). It would occur at 6:03 pm Mountain time (Mar 15th).
There is another alignment that I mentioned on the 13th of March, but it is at 12:02 am, so that would actually fall into the 12th day of Adar. However, this same alignment occurs precisely at midnight Mountain time on the 14th of March, which would place it into the 13th day of Adar.
There is one other alignment that would fall into the 14th day of Adar, and that alignment occurs at 7:11 pm Central time (Mar 15th). However, if we are looking at this alignment for the Eastern time zone, then we would have to switch to the day before, which would be at 8:15 pm Eastern (Mar 14th). (This alignment on the previous day would occur at 8:19 pm Eastern on the 13th of March, placing it into the 13th of Adar.)
Of all these evening alignments, the one at 7:11 pm Central (Mar 15th), which is the 14th day of Adar is definitely the strongest of them all, because of the position of the moon.
I will leave off there with these alignments, other than to say that the alignments that occur at around midnight are similar to the alignment I am about to discuss, but they are not as strong, and they involve different stars but in some of the same constellations. The evening alignments involve completely different stars and constellations, altogether.
As I promised, I have below the details of the alignment that will occur at 12:42 am Central time tomorrow morning (March 11th).
Here are the components of the alignment that we find sitting on the horizon, from right to left:
- Messier object 42, The Great Nebula in Orion (this marks the helve of the “Sword of Orion”)
- Eta Leporis, This star has no other names associated with it.
- Epsilon Lupis, This star does not have any names associated with it; although, it is part of a Chinese asterism known as “Imperial Guards.” However, if we look at the etymology, the name speaks of a servant or an official mounted on horseback.
- Alpha Scorpii, known as Antares. The Arabic name is “Qalb Al-Άqrab”; meaning “heart of the scorpion.” The word Antares is derived from the Greek name “Ἀντάρης” (Antárēs), which has been attributed the meaning of “rival to Mars.” However, this name does not contain any reference to Mars at all. It simply means “insurgent,” “rebel,” or “renegade,” coming from the root word that means “to revolt” or “to rebel.”
- Beta Lyrae, known as Sheliak, which comes from the Arabic “shiliyāq”. Here is what one Arabic Lexicon states about this name: “A certain northern constellation, [namely, Lyra,] consisting of ten stars, the bright star [alpha]: the Arabs liken it to a vulture which has contracted its wings to itself, as though it had alighted upon a thing.” Wiktionary states that the root word means “to hit.”
- Messier Object 57, the Ring Nebula (This object is not sitting on the horizon. It is sitting just below the horizon, just below Beta Lyrae. It forms a very important part of the constellation Lyra, and it factors into this particular alignment in a most significant way.)
Here are the components of the alignment of objects that are in line with the moon, from right to left:
- Beta Tauri, known as Elnath, which comes from the Arabic “naţḥ.” Without going into detail, the name means “one mortally smitten by a horn of wrath.”
- The moon
- Messier object 35 (This is an open cluster of which nearly 5,000 stars have been identified as potential members of the cluster.)
- The S249 nebula (I have spoken about this nebula before in my post “Pollux.” This is the “lake of fire.”)
- Mu Geminorum, known as Tejat, which comes from the Arabic “tāha”; meaning “to lose one’s way,” “to perish,” “to depart and disappear,” “to wander,” or “to wander in mind.” One form of the word means “false, or vain, sayings or actions or affairs.” There are three other names for this star, but I really only have time to tell you about one of them: Nuhatai. If you look at Wikipedia, it will tell you that the name means “a Camel’s Hump.” I have no clue how they derived at that. This is not what the name means. The Arabic word is “naḥata”; meaning “cuttings,” “shavings,” “waste,” “wasteful,” “to be wasted,” or “to be reprimanded” (for being wasteful).
The “Sword of Orion” is in reality the sword of Jehovah. It is the sharp two-edged sword of the tongue of Jesus Christ:
“16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
– Revelation 1:16–18
The star Eta Leporis is an object that I am not able to explain here. I would first have to explain about five other constellations and many of those stars before I would be able to discuss this star. All that can tell you is that the constellation Lepus speaks of the river of life that emanates from beneath the sanctuary of the tabernacle during the millennial reign of Christ. In this alignment, God is protecting the integrity and the purity of His tabernacle. However, the river of living water coming from the tabernacle is actually a symbol of the fountain of living water in the New Jerusalem (in Heaven), and in the New Jerusalem there is no tabernacle. The Bride of Christ herself is the tabernacle. The Bride is the fountain of living water. She is not the water. She is the fountain, where the water comes from.
The star Epsilon Lupis speaks of the riders on the horses in the book of Revelation and in the prophetic book of Zechariah that judge the Earth during the Great Tribulation. More importantly, it speaks of Jesus Christ when He rides out to war against the unrighteous after His return to the Earth, at the end of the Great Tribulation.
“11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.”
– Revelation 19:11–14
The constellation Lyra is representative of a cup of mixed wine, or rather, “must.” It is not a wine that is strong in alcohol. It is freshly pressed juice that has been put into a wineskin. After a day or two, it will begin to ferment, but the content of alcohol is very low. However, in this alignment, the star Beta Lyrae is at the bottom of the cup. Moreover, Messier object 57, the Ring Nebula, is sitting just below this star so that the two objects are straddling the horizon. The significance of the Ring Nebula is that it represents the dregs at the bottom of the cup. All you have to do is look at a picture of this nebula; the sight of it speaks for itself.
“For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.”
– Psalm 75:8
“9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.”
– Revelation 14:9 & 10
Here is the summary of it all: The scorpion is the vain, false, wandering, and wasteful rebel. However, there are many scorpions, and here we can draw an inference. The alignment occurs during the middle of the night … midnight. Therefore, it is associated with the death angle in the book of Exodus. The scorpions are the firstborn of the Egyptians, and the judgement of God is very severe.
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
– Revelation 6:8
This is what this alignment is speaking of. The death angle from the book of Exodus was merely a precursor (an adumbration) as to what will happen during the Great Tribulation, as described here in Revelation 6:8.
God is protecting His Bride, His fountain of living water from the scorpions of the Earth. He will smite them with the sword of His mouth and with the horn of His judgement, and the vultures will feast upon their carcasses. The wicked of the Earth will be intoxicated with fear and trembling from the dregs of the cup of wrath and they will be thrown into the lake of fire, unto eternal damnation.
People! I did not make this up! All that I have done is to interpret the Word of God written in the Holy Bible and in the heaven above. It is the same Word. One is written on white paper with black ink and the other is written in brilliant fire on a canvas of the most translucent and infinite black possible. How much more clear does God need to be to get His message across to this world of rebellious and lost souls?!
There is only one remedy for our sin! His name is Jesus Christ! Put your trust in Him, in His work of redemption on the cross.
Oh! Bee! Let us pray for these lost souls! … that some might see and believe! In Jesus name! Amen!
Love Always,
Dale 😊
