Purim 2023

1. Purim means “lots” in ancient Persian. The holiday was thus named since Haman had thrown lots to determine when he would carry out his diabolical scheme. It is a celebration of the very fact that the world is not run by random chance. Calling the holiday Purimreminds the Jewish people that even when events appear to be happening at random, such as in a lottery, G-d is still the ultimate controller of fate

1. 1. What is Purim? It is the deliverance of Gods people from wicked Haman who wanted to see the complete eradication of the jewish people. God steps in and completely reverses what wicked Haman tried to do to the Jews.
   2. In the spiritual, the plots that Satan has for Gods people will always be turned around and the enemy will always see a reversal of his plans

   3. Haman is the Kings right hand man and hates Mordicai because he does not fear him or bow to him. Finds out who is people are, the Jews and seeks Mordecai’s death and his people.

3. Purim is a consistent reminder of our need for deliverance from our enemies

1. 1. The Jewish people consistently see the Hamans trying to see their destruction

Adolf Hitler “It is true we are barbarians. It is an honourable title to us. I am freeing humanity from a false vision called conscience and morality. The Jews have inflicted two wounds on mankind – circumcision on its body and conscience on its soul. The war for world domination will be fought entirely between us – the Germans and the Jews. All else is

5. God will never let the devil outperform Him

1. 1. On the beginning of Purim 2023 we see the exposure of the January 6th so called insurrection
   2. Hitler was losing his grip until economic collapse in 1929 and an unstable political climate and Nazi grew. Jan 1933 Hitler appointed as chancellor one month later Nazi claimed a fire was started in a political building by communists planning an insurrection. Hitler used this fear to abolish constitutional protections. Shortly after Hitler was given right to govern with having to go through parliament. Now he was a dictator.
   3. Again Hitler used propaganda to push his narrative and made those who would comply with them to wear star of david
   4. Nuremberg laws- institutionalized the persecution of Jews
   5. Hatred toward morality

6. The future still holds another Purim. God will deliver his people.

1. 1. “And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.”Revelation‬ ‭19‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬
   2. “Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”. Revelation‬ ‭20‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬‬
