Tales of Disguise, Mirth and the Threat of Haman
This week Jews around the world celebrate the joyous holiday of Purim. The Purim holiday commemorates the victory of Queen Esther and Mordechai over the evil Haman of Persia, saving the lives of the Jewish people. Below are several Purim-related pictures we discovered in the archives of the Library of Congress.  This picture appeared in an American newspaper on April 1, 1865. The wood engraving is captioned, "The Hebrew Purim Ball at the Academy of Music, March 14." The picture contains a large sign, "Merry Purim," another sign listing the "Order of Dancing," and merrymakers wearing costumes and masks. The picture was published in Frank Leslie's illustrated newspaper, printed in New York, NY. The Academy of Music was built in 1854 and was located in Manhattan at Irving Place and East 14th Street.
And in Tel Aviv --
The Jews of Palestine used to celebrate heartily at the Purim Adloyada ["until they don't know"]festival and parade held in Tel Aviv in the 1920s and 30's. Some commentators make a crude
comparison to Marde Gras partying, but the merriment is based on an ancient rabbinic tradition of Jews imbibing on Purim to the point where they do not know the difference between sobriety and drunkenness, between Mordechai and Haman -- but without losing their wits.
But the threats to the Jewish people were also apparent to the photographers of the American Colony who photographed Purim celebrations in Tel Aviv in the early 1930s. They photographed parade floats showing the Nazi threats.

Purim - the Jewish festival of redemption - Israel Today Staff
Purim - the Jewish festival of redemption
Monday, February 29, 2016 | Israel Today Staff
Purim is the Jewish festival of redemption! The celebration of the failure of Haman's plot to annihilate the Jewish people. This year Purim will be celebrated on March 24th & 25th.
According to the Book of Esther, Haman, the royal vizier to the Persian King Ahasuerus, planned to kill all the Jews in the empire, but his plans were foiled by Mordechai and his adopted daughter, Queen Esther.
The heroes of the story are Esther, a beautiful young Jewish woman living in Persia, and her uncle Mordechai, who raised her as if she were his daughter. Esther was taken into the house of Ahasuerus, King of Persia. Esther found favor with King Ahasuerus' and he loved Esther more than his other women and made Esther his queen, but the king did not know that Esther was a Jew, because Mordechai told her not to reveal her identity.
The villain of the story is Haman, an arrogant, egotistical advisor to the king. Haman hated Mordechai because he refused to bow down to Haman, so Haman plotted to destroy the Jewish people. Haman told the king, "There is a certain people scattered among the peoples in all the provinces of your realm. Their laws are different from those of every other people's, and they do not observe the king's laws; therefore it is not befitting the king to tolerate them." Esther 3:8. The king gave the fate of the Jewish people to Haman, to do as he pleased with them. Haman planned to exterminate all of the Jews.
Mordechai persuaded Esther to speak to the king on behalf of the Jewish people. This was a dangerous thing for Esther to do, because anyone who came into the king's presence without being summoned could be put to death. Esther fasted for three days to prepare herself, then went to see the king, unsummopned!! He welcomed her. Later, she told him of Haman's plot against her people. The Jewish people were saved, and Haman and his ten sons were hanged on the gallows that had been prepared for Mordechai.
This day of deliverance became a day of feasting and rejoicing. Purim is celebrated by giving mutual gifts of food and drink (mishloach manot), giving charity to the poor (mattanot la-evyonim), and a celebratory meal (se'udat Purim). The scroll of Esther is read publicly (kriat ha-megillah). During the reading of the scroll of Esther at the mention of the name "Haman" a deafening noise erupts - noise makers, rattles and feet stomping are employed to drown out the name of evil. An additional blessing (al hannisim) is added to prayers and grace after meals on this day. Other customs include drinking wine, wearing of masks and costumes, and public celebration.

Jane Hamon, Chuck Pierce: Divine Reversals, Revival in The Northwest & Asia
"A Year of Divine Reversals!"
Jane Hamon, Santa Rosa Beach, FL
The Elijah List
Happy New Year 2015! What an exciting time to be alive! As I have listened to the Lord these past weeks about what is ahead for the Church and how to position ourselves with His prophetic promises, I feel I have heard so many interesting things to share. I can just tell you this – it's going to be an incredible time of shifting, fulfillment, victory and turnaround for us all!
15 is a Biblical number tied to celebration and rest after a victory or harvest. The Feasts of Tabernacles, Unleavened Bread and Purim, all happen on the fifteenth day of the month. It is the Hebraic calendar year 5775 which is a double portion number... a double portion of grace and favor to see fulfillment, completion and finishing!
The Great Turn Around!
One of the main Scriptures for this turn around year of double portion deliverance and victory is found in Esther 9. We know of the decree of death and destruction released by Haman against the Jews authorizing the people of the land to kill them and take their possessions on the 13th day of the 12th month of Adar. But Esther wrote a new decree, in the king's name and sealed it with the king's ring, that the Jews had a right to defend themselves and kill those who were trying to kill them. (Photo "For Such a Time as This" by Donna Smallenberg via elijahshopper.com)
This carried over into the 14th day when they finished destroying those against them. On the 15th day they had a feast, a celebration of joy, that God had delivered them from their oppressors. This is that day! It was a time of turn around!
The turn started in the 13th year, continued through 2014 and we will see great fulfillment in 2015! Some need to write a new decree over your life for the upcoming season of time. God is mobilizing angels to see the things we decree come to pass!
2015 A Year of Divine Reversals!
I heard the Lord say that this would be "A Year of Divine Reversals." As a matter of fact, in Esther 9:1 when it speaks of the decree of Haman it says of that 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."
I was surprised to find that the word "turned" in this verse is the Hebrew word haphak is the Strong's number 2015!! It means to overturn, to change, to overthrow, to turn around, to transform, to be reversed! This will be a year of Divine Reversal!
As a matter of fact, I heard the Lord say this would be a Boomerang Year! As we know, a boomerang gets thrown out and then returns to the one that threw it.
God is going to cause every curse and every assignment from Hell to be turned right back upon the head of our spiritual enemy!
Haman built gallows to hang the Jews, but he ended up being hanged on his own gallows! It wasn't only Haman who was destroyed, but also his 10 sons so they couldn't come back again to retaliate!(Photo via Wikipedia)
God is boomeranging the curses of Hell right back on the enemy. In the Message translation Esther 9:25reads "But when Queen Esther intervened with the king, he gave written orders that the evil scheme that Haman had worked out should boomerang back on his own head!"
God is turning the curse to a blessing for us, because He loves us! (Deuteronomy 23:5). God is also bringing divine reversals in situations that experienced a downturn. He is bringing a reversal of fortunes, a reversal out of death into life, a reversal out of sickness and pain into healing and wholeness.
Marriages on the verge of divorce can experience divine reversal and a renewal of love and hope for the future. Even in the United States of America, God has determined to bring some significant divine reversals back to a place of righteousness and justice.
So get ready for your divine reversals! Make a list to see what needs to be reversed and returned to you. 2015 will be your turn around year!

The Window of Heaven Over Asia
I am departing for a five-nation tour of Asia (this week). I felt the Lord direct me to begin my year in that part of the world and travel to Shanghai, China; Taipei, Taiwan; Hong Kong; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Bangkok, Thailand.
There is much stirring over the nations of Asia at this time. However, I believe now is the time for the Window of Heaven to open over that region. God is realigning earth's plans with Heaven's purposes. The power of prophetic decrees causes earth to align with Heaven. Please join me in praying for the Window of Heaven to be opened over Asia!
Thank you for praying for my travel to Oregon and Washington. Here is a picture from this ministry assignment – the first at the Elijah List Conference.(Two photos of Chuck Pierce above taken at the Elijah List Conference this past weekend.)
This is the time to declare the whirlwind of God will hover over the Northwest to break forth awakening and revival!
Blessings,

Joel Rosenberg - God's Love & Protection for the Jewish People
Joel Rosenberg
March 13, 2014
Israel and the Jewish people face many threats these days — from a nuclear Iran, from terrorist rocket fire out of Gaza, from Syrian chemical weapons, and from rising anti-Semitism and a global movement to isolate and delegitimize Israel, especially pernicious in Europe, to name just a few.
Sometimes Jews wonder, “Why are we the Chosen People? How has that worked out well for us? The Pharoah chose us. Hitler chose us. Stalin chose us. The ayatollahs chose us. Choose someone else, Lord, please!” It’s a sad but understandable sentiment.
As we see current threats — and as we remember the horrors of the Holocaust and the Nazi regime’s determination to annihilate all the Jews of Europe — we need to remember that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has never forgotten or forsaken the people He sovereignly chosen. We have, all too often, forgotten Him. But He has never forgotten us.
Indeed, that is why His Word commanded us to celebrate Purim, which takes place this weekend.
Purim is the Jewish holiday that celebrates the remarkable story of how the God of Israel used two faithful believers — Esther and Mordechai — and a movement of prayer and fasting to rescue the Jewish people from an evil Persian regime determine to annihilate them.
Remember: the evil Persian leader Haman literally used the language of annihilation all those years ago. As we read in Esther 3:13, “Letters were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, women and children, in one day….”
The Bible tells believers throughout the ages to celebrate this important holiday. This weekend, I will be teaching at a Baptist church in Tampa about the Jewish holiday of Purim, and why it is so important, and how from ancient Persia to Hitler’s Germany to modern Iran, Purim reminds us of God’s faithful love for and sovereign protection of the Jewish people from those who seek to destroy them.
Here are four ways you and your family can celebrate this year:
Learn – Jewish families around the world read the Book of Esther as a family to remember all the details of this amazing story, and Christians should, too. Study the story in its own historic context, to understand what was really happening, and the enormous faith and courage it took for Mordechai and Esther to do what they did. Then consider how the lessons in the historical account apply to Israel’s challenges today’s, and your own.
Pray– We are to praise the God of Israel that He is the Redeemer of the Jewish people, and of all people. We should thank Him that He also saved so many Persian people who turned to the Living God at the end of the story (many people miss this part). And especially in these times, we should follow Mordechai and Esther’s example by praying and fasting for the redemption of the Jewish people amidst this current showdown with an evil Persian regime that wants to annihilate them, and praying for the Persian people to be saved as well. Who knows if God has chosen us for a time such as this?
Give — In the Biblical account, the Lord encourages us to give food and other gifts to the poor. We read in Esther 9:20-22, “Then Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far, obliging them to celebrate the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same month, annually, because on those days the Jews rid themselves of their enemies, and it was a month which was turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and rejoicing and sending portions of food to one another and gifts to the poor.” Consider how you can give to the Jewish people today and be a blessing to Israel and her neighbors in the name of Jesus.
Go — If you’d like to invest to a ministry that is providing food and other gifts to the poor and needy in the Land of Israel, please go to The Joshua Fund’s website at www.joshuafund.net.
May the Lord bless you, and all of Israel, and all of the Persian people this Purim season.

British PM Cameron announces upcoming trip to Auschwitz. “I want every child in Britain to learn about the Holocaust.”In Uncategorized on March 13, 2014 at 9:23 am
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, right, and his British counterpart David Cameron attend a joint press conference in Jerusalem on Wednesday, March 12, 2014, following their meeting. (photo credit: AP)
British Prime Minister David Cameron, on his first state visit to Israel, spoke about his Jewish relatives and about how seriously he takes the history of the Holocaust.
He visited Yad Vashem on Wednesday, the Israeli Holocaust museum and research center.
During his address to the Knesset,Cameron also announced that he will be visiting the Auschwitz death camp in southern Poland later this year, and said, “I want every child in Britain to learn about the Holocaust and to understand just how vital it is to fight discrimination and prejudice in our world.”
Excerpts from an interesting address:
One of the most moving experiences I have had as Prime Minister came in January this year, when I held a reception in Downing Street for 50 Survivors of the Sho’ah. I met some of the most inspiring people and heard some of the most incredible stories.
People like Harry Spiro who couldn’t understand why his mother pushed him out of her house and off to the factory, when she was actually saving his life.
Gena Turgel, who witnessed her brother being shot by the Nazis and lost another brother and two sisters before she was eventually liberated from Bergen-Belsen and went on to marry the British soldier who freed her.
And Ben Helfgott who endured 3 years in a ghetto, 2 labour camps and 3 concentration camps to make it to England where he was reunited with one of his sisters, the only other member of his family to survive. Ben went on to represent Britain as a weightlifter in 2 Olympics set up a society for Holocaust survivors and was honoured in Poland for his reconciliation work between Poles and Jews. And I am delighted that Ben has come with me here today.
All of the survivors have made such an incredible contribution to Britain.
And one of the things so many of them have done – and which never ceases to amaze me – is to go into our schools and share their testimony first hand.
It is hard to imagine the sheer strength of humanity it must take to do that.
And I am determined that long after they are gone and long after we are all gone their memory will be as strong and vibrant as it is today.
As a father, I will never forget last year visiting the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin with my young children and for the first time trying to explain to them quite what had happened.
I want every child in Britain to learn about the Holocaust and to understand just how vital it is to fight discrimination and prejudice in our world.
It is vital that we do all we can with our international partners to preserve the site at Auschwitz, which I will be visiting later this year.
But we need to do more.
That is why I have set up the Holocaust Commission in Britain. A number of the Commissioners are here with Ben and me today and as we visit Yad Vashem together later today, our pledge to Ben will be that Britain will never forget what he and his fellow survivors have taught us.
We will preserve the memory of that generation for every generation to come.
But remembering the past goes far beyond that horrific suffering of a generation.
It is about remembering the long and rightful search of a people for a nation. And the right for the Jewish people to live a peaceful and prosperous life in Israel.
