I have said, as have many others, that the time from Purim to Pentecost are highly significant days on God’s timeline. This year, Purim was March 6-7. Purim is the feast recorded in the book of Esther, where evil plans of Haman against God’s people boomeranged back upon himself and his ten sons, giving the Hebrews great cause for celebration.
April 2 was Palm Sunday, the beginning of what we call Passion week leading up to Easter. April 4th – the 13th is Passover—which commemorates the time when our ancestors experienced the plagues God brought upon the Egyptians and their ruler, Pharoah who was a type of the devil. God’s process of delivering His people from the evil enslavement of the Egyptian Pharaoh, is what we know as the Exodus.
So Passion week and Passover coincide, because the Exodus with Moses leading the way for God’s people to be delivered was a foreshadow of Jesus who was and is the Promised Redeemer to deliver God’s people from the enslavement of sin imposed by the devil.
From Passover to Pentecost is fifty days. Pentecost is celebrated May 28th this year.
Each year this same time period from Purim to Pentecost produces heightened spiritual activity causing what occurs in the second heaven to be experience here on earth. However, God had earmarked this year to be an even more intense time because this is the time of God’s intervention on behalf of His people.
God’s plans are decreed and declared from the third heaven, which pass through the second heaven where spiritual beings fight battles, with evil seeking to prevent God’s plans, and strategies from reaching the earth. The devil knows the battles he loses in the earthly realm brings him closer and closer to his ultimate demise. While the devil was declared fully defeated with the work of Jesus on the cross, God still has many more of His beloved humanity He has planned to give life. So until the fullness of time when all God’s human beings are created, the devil still exists on this earth. This reality should not trouble us because Christ’s life, death and resurrection means Jesus has given us all authority and power over the enemy to defeat his ever scheme and plan. And God fully expects His children to wield this authority and power in this hour.
Unfortunately, God’s people have repeatedly failed to remember whose they are and continue to be enticed by the enemy who deceives humanity again and again. History reveals humanity has gone back and forth from being sold-out committed followers of God, to being completely allured away from the faith to not only worship false gods, but encourage others to do the same.
Gratefully our God is a covenant God who will never fail to uphold His covenant, even when we do not uphold our part. That’s not to say those who are disobedient and fail to repent will escape accountability. No, God says in the last part of Jeremiah 17:9 “I the Lord search the mind, I try the heart, even to give to every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.” God also says in 1 Peter 4:17 that His judgment begins with the House of the Lord. It is vitally important in this very hour that each one of us who profess to belong to Christ make certain we are repentant with a pure heart and clean hands. (Psalm 24:4-5)
Considering this present season, out of curiosity I counted the days from Purim through Pentecost and they number 84 days which is 12 weeks. In Hebrew the number 12 means perfection of government both divine and natural. This gives me even more confidence that we can expect God to work in our behalf in major ways leading up to Pentecost. I’m not saying everything will be fully corrected by that time, rather that the crux of what must be rectified first will be accomplished.
Another encouragement I want to share is that the government of God’s Kingdom is on Christ’s shoulders, and of His government there is no end (Isaiah 9:6-7) Scriptures also reveal that the nations belong to Jesus as His inheritance and the ends of the earth are Christ’s possession. (Psalms 2:7-12)
We know God has complete ownership of the earth and all that is in it ever since Jesus defeated satan on the cross. We also know Jesus has given us His authority and power over all the works of the devil with the instruction to occupy and subdue the earth until He returns. This means the Church, the Ekklesia of all Christ’s genuine followers, are to serve as soldiers in God’s army working to maintain Christ’s authority over the enemy.
I personally believe it is God’s desire to intervene in our present evil days by Pentecost of this year. Again, I’m not saying all matters will be resolved but the crux or the most important elements that had to be addressed first, will be addressed, BUT only to the degree the Church—the Ekklesia is aligned with God. Let me repeat that. God intervenes in the affairs of humanity only to the degree God’s people are aligned with Him. This is what God means that he gives to us according to the fruit of our doing.
And I want to add here, that I arrived at this timeline of God’s intervention through my own prayer and study, only to later be affirmed listening to Amanda Grace’s prophecy of April 7th, which I share in part later with this podcast. . .
Obviously this is an excerpt from one of my recent podcasts titled The Best is Yet to Come! (144). Use this link to hear it in its entirity. I also highly recommend the following podcast which is an extention of 144: “What Does God Need from Us to Act in Our Behalf?”
