Year Of The Dragon: Purim & The Patriots Did you all know that prior to 1752, the New Year began on March 25th according to the Julian calendar.

This date was known as “Lady Day” or the Feast of the Annunciation, which commemorated the angel Gabriel’s announcement to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and give birth to Jesus. However, in 1752, England and its colonies switched to the Gregorian calendar, which moved the New Year to January 1st.

This change was implemented in September 1752, resulting in that year being only 355 days long in England and its colonies. March 25th was not celebrated as the first day of the calendar year in England and its dominions, including those in America, until 1752.

Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people from a plot to destroy them in the ancient Persian Empire, as recorded in the biblical Book of Esther. The holiday is celebrated annually on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar, which usually falls in February or March.

Check This Out Chapter 1-2: The Stage is Set King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) depicts a powerful, global ruler, which could parallel the Antichrist figure in the end times. Queen Vashti’s removal from her position could represent the removal of the church (Bride of Christ) before the tribulation period. Esther’s rise to the position of queen could symbolize the rise of the faithful remnant during the end times.

Chapter 3: The Rise of the Adversary Haman, the Agagite, is introduced as a high-ranking official who despises Mordecai and seeks to destroy all the Jews. This could be seen as a type of the Antichrist who will persecute God’s people in the end times. Haman’s plot to annihilate the Jews on a specific date could parallel the intense persecution believers will face during the Great Tribulation.
