The Decree of Grace was conceived on Sivan 23:

The conception Decree of Life was the first act of the new Administration of the Humble Man (Mordecai) to thwart the old Annihilation Decree that was used by wicked Haman as a Law of Death (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12). Similarly, the conception of the prophet of the Grace of God (Yochanan) marked the beginning of a New World Order, the Administration of the Spirit of Chesed (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).

The Spirit of Chesed (רוח החסד) helps us us in our weakness to humbly come under the safe and secure authority of His “Crown.” This is symbolized by Hadassah-Esther touching the Crown of the king’s *Golden Scepter.

The Spirit of Grace ruling over our lives is to us our *Crown of Life.

*The Crown of Life (עטרת החיים).

Prophecy of the 180 day feast that leads to life:

The forerunner of the Messiah, the *first Elijah to come—there is a second and final Elijah to come—the Prophet Yochanan ben Zekaryah ben Aaron was conceived in the summer on Sivan 23. This date of Sivan 23 is six months or exactly180 days before the date when our Messiah Yeshua ben Yosef ben David was conceived in the winter on Kislev 25; which is the first day of the Festival of Chanukkah. Likewise:

The period of time after the birth of Yochanan at twilight of Nisan 14 to the birth of Messiah on the eve of Tishri 15 is exactly—180 days.

*There are three Elijah(s) in the Order of Eternity. There is at the beginning Eliyahoo HaTishbi, then there are two more prophets who come in the spirit of Elijah. The first Elijah to come (Yochanan) came to Israel at the first coming of the Messiah; and the second Elijah to come will come to us just before the second coming of the Messiah; when he (Yeshua ben David) triumphantly returns from heaven to earth in the near future.

The beginning of Pesach (Nisan 14) to the beginning of Sukkot (Feast of Booths, Tishri 15) represents the festal procession, the ultimate spiritual exodus of Adonai (GOD) that ultimately will lead His people Israel and the Commonwealth of Israel into the age of His Messiah’s millennial rule here on earth.

The Messiah was born on Tishri 15

The Individual Messiah (the Vine) who is the Light of the World was born in the fall on Sukkot (Tishri 15). On this same Jewish Calendar date (Tishri 15) the National Messiah Israel (the branches) will in the age soon to come be restored to all of the promises of God; the restitution of all things (השבת הכל).

There is both an Individual Messiah (Yeshua HaMashiach) and a National Messiah—the nation and people of Israel. Israel’s restitution of all things will begin to occur immediately following the Messiah’s second coming. Israel thereafter will become the Servant-leader nation of all of the nations, peoples and families of the earth. We do not know the exact year but we do know on what festival day the Messiah shall return from heaven to Israel:

The second coming of Messiah ben David will occur in the fall on Yom Kippur (Tishri 10).

Messiah’s circumcision in Israel occurred in the fall on Tishri 22 (1, 2). The perfect, complete and permanent separation of good from evil is represented in the two festivals associated with the Jewish calendar date of Tishri 22 (cf. Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah“).

Prophecy of the 180 day feast that leads to death:

The story of Esther (Hadassah) opens at a time of material prosperity and peace as witnessed by the Persian (Iranian) king Ahasuerus’ lavish 180 day national feast (Tishri 6-Nisan 8); followed by an additional seven day feast in his capital city of Shushan (Nisan 9-15). The narrative goes as follows:

The feasts of the King:

וַיְהִי בִּימֵי אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹושׁ הוּא אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹושׁ הַמֹּלֵךְ מֵהֹדּוּ וְעַד־כּוּשׁ שֶׁבַע וְעֶשְׂרִים וּמֵאָה מְדִינָֽה׃ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם כְּשֶׁבֶת הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹושׁ עַל כִּסֵּא מַלְכוּתֹו אֲשֶׁר בְּשׁוּשַׁן הַבִּירָֽה׃ בִּשְׁנַת שָׁלֹושׁ לְמָלְכֹו עָשָׂה מִשְׁתֶּה לְכָל־שָׂרָיו וַעֲבָדָיו חֵיל פָּרַס וּמָדַי הַֽפַּרְתְּמִים וְשָׂרֵי הַמְּדִינֹות לְפָנָֽיו׃ בְּהַרְאֹתֹו אֶת־עֹשֶׁר כְּבֹוד מַלְכוּתֹו וְאֶת־יְקָר תִּפְאֶרֶת גְּדוּלָּתֹו יָמִים רַבִּים שְׁמֹונִים וּמְאַת יֹֽום׃

Now it took place in the days of Ahasuerus, the Ahasuerus who reigned from India to Ethiopia over 127 provinces, in those days as King Ahasuerus sat on his royal throne which was at the citadel in *Shushan, in the third year of his reign he gave a banquet for all his princes and attendants, the army officers of Persia and Media, the nobles and the princes of his provinces being in his presence. And he displayed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor of his great majesty for many days, 180 days.

*There were four capitals of Persia (Iran); and the king at times reigned in each of them. These were: Shushan, Babylon, Ecbatana, and Persepolis. In the Torah the number four speaks of universality (i.e. N,S,E,W).

וּבִמְלֹואת הַיָּמִים הָאֵלֶּה עָשָׂה הַמֶּלֶךְ לְכָל־הָעָם הַנִּמְצְאִים בְּשׁוּשַׁן הַבִּירָה לְמִגָּדֹול וְעַד־קָטָן מִשְׁתֶּה שִׁבְעַת יָמִים בַּחֲצַר גִּנַּת בִּיתַן הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ חוּר כַּרְפַּס וּתְכֵלֶת אָחוּז בְּחַבְלֵי־בוּץ וְאַרְגָּמָן עַל־גְּלִילֵי כֶסֶף וְעַמּוּדֵי שֵׁשׁ מִטֹּות זָהָב וָכֶסֶף עַל רִֽצְפַת בַּהַט־וָשֵׁשׁ וְדַר וְסֹחָֽרֶת׃ וְהַשְׁקֹות בִּכְלֵי זָהָב וְכֵלִים מִכֵּלִים שֹׁונִים וְיֵין מַלְכוּת רָב כְּיַד הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ וְהַשְּׁתִיָּה כַדָּת אֵין אֹנֵס כִּי־כֵן יִסַּד הַמֶּלֶךְ עַל כָּל־רַב בֵּיתֹו לַעֲשֹׂות כִּרְצֹון אִישׁ־וָאִֽישׁ׃ גַּם וַשְׁתִּי הַמַּלְכָּה עָשְׂתָה מִשְׁתֵּה נָשִׁים בֵּית הַמַּלְכוּת אֲשֶׁר לַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹֽושׁ׃

“When these days were completed, the king gave a banquet lasting *seven days for all the people who were present at the citadel in Shushan, from the greatest to the least, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace. There were hangings of fine white and violet linen held by cords of fine purple linen on silver rings and marble columns, and couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and precious stones. Drinks were served in golden vessels of various kinds, and the royal wine was plentiful according to the king’s bounty. The drinking was done according to the law, there was no compulsion (participation was voluntary), for so the king had given orders to each official of his household that he should do according to the desires of each person. Queen Vashti also gave a (*seven day) banquet for the women in the palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.”

*Our Jewish ancestors voluntarily chose to participate in the pagan seven day pagan feast in Shushan (Nisan 9-15). In doing so our ancestors chose to not observe the LORD our God’s mandatory festival of Pesach! Our ancestors participation in the 7 day earthly king’s festival was a shameful act of infidelity to our God.

The Torah has described this love of the world above the love of God as involving three things. These are:

The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

To our shame the people of Israel freely and disobediently chose without any coercion to love the things of the world; instead of faithfully obeying the LORD our God. According to the rabbi sages the 180 day nation-wide international celebration began in the fall (Tishri 6, 482 BCE) and concluded in the spring  (Nisan 8, 481 BCE).

It is important to note that the 8th of Nisan is a very special prophetic day

Beta search Nisan 8. Research and meditate on the phrase “just before Pesach.” Also it is important to note here that the celebration of the international 180 day celebration ended at the middle (Tishri 6) of the seven intermediate days (Tishri 3-9) of Yamim Noraim. This is the the time in the Jewish Calendar of the Ten Great Days of Awe (Tishri 1-10). These events that are recorded in the Scroll of Esther occurred in the third year of the reign of King Ahasuerus, Xerxes 1. Read more about this in the next chapter…
