Did Jesus Celebrate Purim? Esther Rapture implications…

Did Jesus Celebrate Purim? Esther Rapture implications…
John 5
The Healing at the Pool
1Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews.

There is an unnamed feast that Jesus celebrated in John chapter 5 (above). According to the website: wwww.hebrew4christians.com

“…some have rejected that the feast mentioned in John 5 was Purim because it is a minor feast…Jesus celebrated Hanukkah, so this argument is not valid. According to Lambert Dolphin’s research on this question, chronologically the only feast John could have been referring to is Purim, since it is said to have fallen on Shabbat (John 5:9), but the only feast that occurred on Shabbat between the years 25 – 35 CE was in fact Purim (in the year 28 CE). But why was it referred to as an unnamed feast? Perhaps the Spirit of God intentionally left out the name of the feast because the name of the LORD was likewise deliberately left out of the book of Esther.”

I think this website may have a great point about the “unnamed feast” relating to Esther where God is not directly mentioned. All of it does remind me of the day and hour we live in and the Rapture.

As we are following the “season of Esther” I think this is worth watching. Why? The model which precedes this is a Rapture model. If you would like to read the model please visit my website (www.tony4yhwh.com) and under prophetic read: Royal Official and Samaritan teaching. In the study you’ll notice a mention of the 7th hour which may be an allusion to time. Since we are newly in the year 2007 it’s worth noting.

This means this model happened before Purim. With Saddam having just been hanged on the gallows, the Esther movie out this year and many more things – it’s worth watching.

Blessings,
