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

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 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

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.

Billboard Spotted In Tel Aviv For The ‘Abraham’s Shield’ Plan To Work In Conjunction With The Abraham Accords That Will Ensure The Safety Of The Israel

The ‘Abraham’s Shield’ Plan of the Coalition for Regional Security is a new Israeli political-security initiative that paves the way for the State of Israel to emerge from wars of attrition to a reality of security, stability and prosperity
Things are certainly starting to get interesting in the Middle East, no doubt about that. Over on the Jerusalem Post, I was reading the headline article talking about how the White House thinks there will be “big announcements on countries that are coming into the Abraham Accords.” We wrote about that the other day, the big news being that Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia might be the next three Muslim nations to sign the Accords with Israel. But no sooner than I had sat down to write about it, when something called the ‘Abraham’s Shield’ Plan exploded across my desktop.
“And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.” Exodus 6:8 (KJB)
According to their web site, the ‘Abraham’s Shield’ Plan of the Coalition for Regional Security was established about a year after the October 7 massacre and represents a broad and diverse group of public figures, security, diplomacy, business, high-tech, economics, research, and opinion leaders, who joined together to ensure the security of the State of Israel by promoting the ‘Abraham’s Shield’ Plan.
The coalition harnesses under one umbrella the multitude of bodies, research institutes, and organizations that believe in the need for a new political-security vision that combines military, political, and economic power, and in leveraging the regional opportunity as a central path in the journey to strengthen Israel’s security.
Christian, you better wake up, the end times are happening without you. It’s time to get into the game!
The nascent Alliance boasts some heavy hitters from the Israeli military, finance, cyber security, tech sector and various political figures as well. It seems to be highly funded and well underway. Just how Abraham’s Shield will interact with the Abraham Accords is yet to be seen, but from their marketing alone, it would seem they are looking to ride the coattails of the burgeoning Accords.
As we have said from the beginning of all this back in 2020, a Temple is going to be built in Jerusalem, and the Abraham Accords is going to be the covenant that Antichrist will confirm at the start of the time of Jacob’s trouble. Look at the billboard image spotted in Tel Aviv at the top of this article, the stage is set and all the key players seem to be in place. All we need now is for the main character to arrive. Everything else is just a distraction.

New York Has The Largest Jewish Population In The US And Democrats There Just Picked Marxist Socialist Anti-Israel Candidate Zohran Mamdani For Mayor

Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory over three-term ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s mayoral primary is a “political earthquake” that will pressure the national Democratic Party to move further left
Last night, America learned the name Zohran Mamdani, a politician in New York City who is a self-avowed Marxist, Socialist, anti-Zionist and anti-Israel Democrat candidate for mayor. In last night’s Primary election for mayor, Mamdani won in a sweeping landslide, receiving overwhelming support from New York’s large Jewish population. It’s like the bird voting for the cat to be in charge of the cage. We have watched for years what having a Muslim mayor has done for London, all of it bad, and now that same scourge is fixing to set up shop in the city considered the financial center of the world.
“And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” Genesis 16:12 (KJB)
Let’s talk Zohran Mamdani and Israel. Mamdani has consistently criticized the policies and actions of the Israeli government, particularly regarding its treatment of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. He has voiced support for Palestinian liberation and the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. He has defended the use of the phrase “Globalize the intifada,” stating that for him, it represents a desire for equality and human rights, although the phrase is widely seen by many Jews as a call to violence. Lastly, Mamdani issued a statement after the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, condemning Israel and its government, calling for an end to the occupation and dismantling of apartheid. So you tell me how on Earth the Jews in New York City voted for that, because I would love to know.
Andrew Cuomo Concedes to Socialist Zohran Mamdani in NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary
FROM BREITBART NEWS: Cuomo told his supporters that tonight was “not” their night and added that “tonight was Assemblyman Mamdani’s night,” according to the Hill. “He put together a great campaign, and he touched young people and inspired them and moved them and got them to come out and vote,” Cuomo added. Per the outlet, Cuomo’s concession came after “Decision Desk HQ projected the race would head to a ranked-choice count.”
Earlier Tuesday, Decision Desk HQ projected the race would head to a ranked-choice count as Mamdani held a solid lead over the former governor. The vote counting will continue even though Cuomo has conceded in the primary. With 91 percent of the votes counted, Mamdani leads with 43.5 percent, or 428,995 votes, while Cuomo received 36.4 percent, or 358,740 votes, according to the Associated Press. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander came in third with 11.3 percent, or 111,44 votes.

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) June 25, 2025
While Mamdani leads in the election, it could take “days before the winner is determined,” as the city does ranked choice voting, CBS News reported. According to the NYC Board of Elections website, “all first-choice votes are counted,” and if a candidate receives more than 50 percent of the first-choice votes, they win. Votes will continue to be counted “if no candidate earns more than” 50 percent of the first-choice votes:
All first-choice votes are counted. If a candidate receives more than 50% of first-choice votes, that candidate wins. If not candidate earns more than 50% of first-choice votes, then counting will continue in rounds. At the end of each round, the last-place candidate is eliminated and voters who chose that candidate now have their vote counted for their next choice.
Welcome to Zohran Mamdani’s New York. pic.twitter.com/G9Cyc0DadH
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) June 25, 2025
Your vote is counted for your second choice only if your first choice is eliminated. If both your first and second choices are eliminated, your vote is counted for your next choice, and so on.
Breitbart News previously reported that Mamdani suggested creating city-run grocery stores, noting that “people in his city are struggling with the cost of groceries.”
Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani outlined his platform on his website saying people in his city are struggling with the cost of groceries.
The site then declared Mamdani “will create a network of city-owned grocery stores focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit. Without having to pay rent or property taxes, they will reduce overhead and pass on savings to shoppers. They will buy and sell at wholesale prices, centralize warehousing and distribution, and partner with local neighborhoods on products and sourcing. With New York City already spending millions of dollars to subsidize private grocery store operators (which are not even required to take SNAP/WIC!), we should redirect public money to a real ‘public option.’” READ MORE
