June 19th Is The 23rd Of Sivan In The Hebrew Calendar, And What Happened On That Day In The Book Of Esther May Portend The Next Phase Of Israel’s War With Iran

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

In the book of Esther, King Ahasuerus on Sivan 23 issued the decree authorizing the Jews to defend themselves against their enemies, June 19th is Sivan 23.

Sometimes in the Bible you find an amazing nugget, other times you find some fascinating coincidence. This one from the book of Esther is one of those two things, and we will let the reader decide. In Esther 8, we see Mordecai on the authority of King Ahasuerus have a writing written which authorized the Jews to rise up against their enemies, which result in the ‘good day’ celebrated every year on the Feast of Purim. Sivan 23 was not only a ‘good day’ for the Jews, it was a game-changer of a day. Do you know what tomorrow, June 19th is, on the Hebrew calendar? The 23rd of Sivan. That’s the memo.

“Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.” Esther 8:9 (KJB)

How does this tie in with the war in the Middle East happening right now between Israel and Iran? For the past 72 hours, Donald Trump has dropped clue after clue that he is planning on the United States striking the Iranian nuclear plants, and taking them out. With each passing day, the chatter regarding when this might be has swelled to a fever pitch. For this to happen on Thursday, the 23rd of Sivan in the Hebrew calendar, would place it squarely between an amazing coincidence and a true biblical nugget. Donald Trump as King Ahasuerus ‘issuing a decree’ and authorizing the Jews to defeat their enemies on the exact same day it happened in the book of Esther? Game on.

President Trump has approved of plans to attack Iran, maybe on Sivan 23

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: US President Donald Trump told senior aides that he approved of plans to attack Iran, but he is waiting to see if Iran will abandon its nuclear program before giving the final order, three sources familiar with the discussions said to the Wall Street Journal.

As previously reported by The Jerusalem Post, Commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) Gen. Michael Kurilla met with US President Donald Trump and presented him with military options regarding Iran. The WSJ reported that when Trump was asked earlier if he had decided whether to strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities, the president said, “I may do it, I may not do it.”

He also repeated his insistence on Iran’s unconditional surrender: “The next week is going to be very big, maybe less than a week.” On Wednesday, Trump reportedly arranged for a meeting with Iranian Foreign Ministry officials.

On Wednesday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected Trump’s demand for unconditional surrender, as Iranians jammed the highways out of Tehran, fleeing from intensified Israeli airstrikes. He warned that if US attacked Iran warned that if it attacked Iran, the United States “without doubt will face irreparable harm.” READ MORE

NTEB SUNDAY SERVICE: The Doctrinal Dynamite Hidden In The Beatitudes From The Sermon On The Mount

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The 9 beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount shows us what the constitution of the Millennial Kingdom under King Jesus will look like

A lot of Christians are surprised you tell them that what we call the beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount listed in Matthew 5 were not written to the New Testament Church found in the body of Christ. Far from it, the Sermon on the Mount is Jesus telling the Jews about what life will be like in the Millennium when He returns as King to sit on the throne of David and rule over the whole Earth for a thousand years. But even though it was not written to us as doctrine, there is a boatload of doctrinal dynamite contained in these 9 beatitudes given by the Lord, and we would do well to rightly divide and understand them.

“And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:1-3 (KJB)

The Sermon on the Mount and the 9 beatitudes, or blessings, contained therein are actually the foundational pillars that comprise the ‘Constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven’ that Jesus will rule and reign over. The blessings mentioned in the Sermon on the Mount constitute what life will be like during that time period, it is a constitution of that kingdom as prophesied in the Old Testament. It is not doctrine for Church Age believers, but a wonderful promise of what is to come when King Jesus is ruling in perfect righteousness.

6 Men Saved At Whitfield County Jail After 10 Preachers Minister To Every Cell Block With The Gospel And Copies Of God’s Word From Bibles Behind Bars

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

We are continuing to see souls getting saved, Bibles and books handed out, as the Lord is using Bibles Behind Bars to keep the supply lines open in these end times

We have been saturating north and central Georgia with King James Bibles and books over the past few months, and the result has been two-fold. Not only are inmates continuing to get under the preaching of the gospel, get saved and get a Bible, but the jail and prison ministers we support in the 6 facilities across Georgia are also charged up now that a supply line for them has been opened to assist them in their labours. Bro. Micah was so excited he sent us an update at 4:23 AM this morning with the good news.

“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.” Acts 16:25 (KJB)

His email read: “6 men got saved in the Whitfield County Jail Dalton, GA last night in services with 10 Bible Believing preachers showing up to preach the gospel to each and every cell block. 6 men trusted Jesus and Bibles were handed out. Glory to God!” If you minister on any level in the prisons, seeing inmates get saved charges you up to keep going like nothing else. But the other thing that those preachers need is knowing there is a group like Bibles Behind Bars who will supply them with King James Bibles, Spanish Bibles, Scripture portions and everything else they need to minister to the inmates.

We are more than halfway to our goal of sending out 5,000 Bibles, books and tracts for the month of June, with new requests coming in every day. Chaplain Daigle from the Joe Corley Processing center in Conroe, Texas, wrote to us yesterday with an urgent request for Spanish Bibles. Chaplain Michael at the Leake County Correctional Facility in Carthage, Mississippi, also reached out this week asking for Bibles and any other reading material we can send. Both these requests have been added to the list, and we need your help to fulfill this great spiritual need.

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Israel Emerges As Victor In The ’12-Day War’ With Iran Only To Face Exploding Levels Of Hatred Directed At Jewish State

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

In 1967, the 6-Day War completely reordered the Middle East balance of power, Israel has done the impossible once again with the 12-Day War. But success comes at a high price.

Although Israel’s founding was made possible through the 1948 Independence War, it is the 1967 Six Day War that reordered the Middle East and framed Israel’s identity in 2025. And yet, Israel’s 12-day war against Iran may have outdone its achievements during the Six Day War on multiple fronts. But any jubilation becomes immediately tempered when you understand how high the level of hatred against the Jews and Israel has been turned up. That’s the memo.

“We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.” Psalm 79:4 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Iran is a nation that has spent billions in various proxy wars waged against Israel through Lebanon, Yemen and Gaza, with their crowning achievement being the October 7th attack by Hamas which they funded. Israel has finally struck Iran directly, and it was so overwhelming that the whole thing was done in 12 days. Time to celebrate, right? Not so fast. Antisemitism and anti-Israel fervor is about to hit a fever pitch not seen since WWII, with no end in sight. Perhaps you’ve met some of these people in your own life, they like to say stupid things like “I am not antisemitic, just anti-Zionist”, and “I don’t hate the Jews, just the illegal state of Israel”. Hopefully that level of jackassical ignorance didn’t come out of your mouth, no Bible believer would ever talk like that about Israel. On this episode, we get you up to speed with a completely changed Middle East, and what that means when it comes to Bible prophecy. Tick-tock, goes the end times clock.
