A total lunar eclipse occurred over North America during part of the night from March 13-14, 2025.
One interesting thing about this eclipse is that it is occurring during the feast of Purim in the United States. This feast celebrates the deliverance of the Jewish people from potential destruction in the book of Esther in the Bible. This historic event occurred in the ancient region of Persia.
This eclipse could be a prophetic indicator of an event in the near future happening in the Middle East. Could this possibly involve the United States and Israel taking action against Iran's nuclear program sometime relatively soon?
Interesting thing about the book of Esther is that it makes no mention of God. No one asks God for His protection, nor thanks Him for any intervention.
“This eclipse could be a prophetic indicator of an event in the near future”
No it could not, what a load of bovine excrement
However, all branches of Judaism, the Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant groups of Christianity, and heterodox sects like the Latter day Saints, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and oneness Pentecostals all recognize the book of Esther as canonical.
It was a blood Moon, too.
it is occurring during the feast of Purim in the United States.
Was the eclipse not seen in Israel? As I recall a lunar eclipse can be seen by one hemisphere or so at the most.
Or was Purim in Israel over by the time of the eclipse?
Israel doesn’t really need help against Iran from the US anymore, thanks to the total decimation of Syrian and Hezbollah air defenses. Iran itself is very much exposed. Israel has sufficient MOABs to get the job done.
United States is certainly a unique nation prophetically..
Not many nations can claim to begin with 1+12 and grow at 50 like the New Covenant Church did..
Or it could be that the earth just passed between the sun and the moon, as could have been predicted at any time in the past 100 thousand years. If God operates with such machine-like predictability then does He still have free will?
Very little eclipse seen in Israel. Most of the eclipse took place after sunrise and the moon set not long after.
Don’t worry. More kookery coming up with a solar eclipse before Passover, and Christian evangelists making up stuff about the Red Heifer in connection with Passover. Enjoy!
Purim is always on a full moon as are lunar eclipses. There are typically two lunar eclipse per year and about half of them are total. That means about one year out of every 12 there will be a total lunar eclipse on Purim. Given a little more time I could come up with a more accurate number, but that should be enough to show that a total lunar eclipse on Purim is not rare.
“Israel has sufficient MOABs to get the job done.”
They have been requesting them since 2000.
They just signed a contract last month to finally get them.
GBU-43 MOABs won’t take out subterranean targets as deep as Iran has. At 20k pounds, GBU-43s would have to be pushed out of the back of C-130s.
Deep Iranianian targets will require GBU-57s MOPs. Israel doesn’t have a way to drop 30k pound MOPs. Another possible solution might be daring raids on the ground with specialized weaponry.
I was in my backyard yelling, “You’re god is hiding his face from you, Islam.
He is embarrassed because he is not THE all-powerful god!” at all of my muzzie neighbors.
I doubt they heard me.
I had to... scroll down that "Koenig" page to find the info in the post.
This eclipse could be a prophetic indicator of an event in the near future.When it doesn't say explicitly "King Achashveirosh," the word "king" in the Megillah refers to God, Who is the King of the universe. God's name in not mentioned even once in the Megillah. This is unique for there is no other book in the Bible where God's name does not appear. On the other hand, says this Midrash, God is referred to many times in the Megillah, albeit obliquely, for whenever the word "king" is mentioned it actually alludes to God. This is quite an apt technique for mentioning God. For in the story of Purim, God's presence is hidden from the naked eye. So too His name is hidden and referred to only in disguised form.
True prophets guess at nothing. Not very exciting, then.
This year was a triple Purim because when Purim is on a Friday, Shushan Purim (Purim in walled cities) falls on Shabbat which restricts the ability to celebrate properly so there's the third Purim day on Sunday.
Before sundown,
The third day of a triple Purim always falls on a Sunday, otherwise there would not be the need for a triple Purim.Crew-10 launched on Friday evening (March 14) atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, sending four astronauts from three different nations toward the orbiting lab.
Crew-10's Crew Dragon capsule, named Endurance, caught up with the station early Sunday morning (March 16), docking with its Harmony module at 12:04 a.m. EDT (0404 GMT)
Meaning, the third day from the third day is always the third day (Tuesday, aka Mars' Day).
In this space mission loop, Tuesday March 18th was also the day that Freedom descended from the ISS, the walled city in space that orbits the Earth ~ every 93 minutes.
(93 = Ha-megillah המגילה, the scroll, aka the Scroll of Esther)
It's all integrated. "Routine" space flights have been all over the news this past week on account of the... save. Regime 46 had only been interested in punishing its enemies and saving political face -- schemes that went horribly wrong.
FREEDOM [פרידום] -- it's a name with quite a few permutations, such as it being "4 Purim" ['פורים ד].
Of particular note [because it pertains to the 286 days in space for the "three-hour tour" astronauts] is that "Freedom" also rearranges to "Day 284":
יום רפ"ד
Which was two days earlier -- Sunday March 16th, the triple Purim day for those in the walled cities.
In any case, Today, here, in year '85, marks ׆ 85 ׆ years:
“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.”~ Albert Einstein, March 19, 1940
"The Messiah at the Gates of Rome" is a traditional story, Mashal or parable in the Jewish tradition, from the Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 98a.

...Elijah explained "This is what he said to thee, To-day, if ye will hear his voice"

"they called these days Purim after the name of Pur" (Esther 9:26)
Pur [פור] = 286
Who do you think had her born for such a time as this?

Imagine the way “prophecy teachers” will be remembered a few hundred years from now ...
(h/t to Guy Fawkes Day)
Every nation needs its festivals. Especially small nations, three miles in diameter, slowly revolving against the heavens.
On April 1, the Feast of All Fools, Northway Laager opened the doors between the ark segments for the Parade of the Useless Idiots. Johaan and Ayse waited with their ten children for the noise of the approaching festivities. In the distance, the ancient Janissary marching tune Ceddin Dedan stirred the blood. The parade drew closer. A brief pause while the musicians caught their breath, then the Unitarian hymn of military aggression echoed down the long halls. Another pause, then there they were, at the antispinward airlock. A marching band. A float, pulled by six young people wearing dunce caps. A team of acrobats. Another float. Harmonica ensemble. Float. Male chorus. Float.
One by one, a rogue’s gallery of scoundrels rolled past, receiving ritual jeers, and gifts for the community feast after the parade. No bread or wine — these demolishers of civilization had no part in the Table.
The first float bore an effigy of Haggard Haggee, in his tradition-cemented pose: bent over, pants around his knees, oversized buttocks gleaming a fluorescent red, rotating back and forth as he mooned the crowds on either side. An idiot grin on his face counterpointed his inarticulate grumbles, wails, and dirges. “Daddy, why is that strange man showing off his bare behind?” young Emir asked. “Hush. I’ll tell you after the parade,” Johaan answered.
The next float showcased Tugboat Hal. Florid complexion, bristling mustache, four wedding rings on his left hand, this effigy received old books from a rack on his left, stamped new titles on them, then deposited them into a vendor’s cart on his right, while a blizzard of holographed greenbacks swirled around him.
The Haymaker came through next. Timothy hay, of course. He sat awkwardly on a half-chair at a spinning wheel, converting straw into jingling gold coin, smiling, of course, even as his wheel emitted screams, moans, and desperate cries.
The final float bore the emblem of a turtle on a fencepost, and depicted a puppet seated on a black-clad puppeteer’s knee. The puppet wore a Confederate uniform with Union field cap. He jingled a bag of loot with one hand and a well-designed book with the other. Out of his mouth came an unending stream of inane blasphemy. “Rejoice, for the Lord hath decided to take a dive! To throw in the towel! The fight is fixed! The game is rigged! God has ordained the global triumph of evil! Let us hale Satan, the real god of this world!”
At this point, the crowd went wild, and howled the gravest insult this community possessed at the retreating parade: “Sinister boo-talk! Sinister boo-talk! Sinister boo-talk!” The parade passed through the spinward airlock, and the families went home to prepare for the evening feast. And to explain to their children who the effigies represented, and why their vile deeds were still held in loathing memory centuries later.
You are quite correct.
