Esther 9:19
3/6/2026
That is why rural Jews--those living in villages-- observe the fourteenth of the month of Adar as a day of joy and feasting, a day for giving presents to each other.
Not everybody can take three days off to celebrate this great deliverance from destruction, so the rural Jews picked the fourteenth of Adar as the official celebration date. What had been marked out as a day of destruction for Jews in the whole empire had become a time of rejoicing in the deliverance that came with the decree that Mordecai had pushed through. There are no directives from God for celebrating this holiday, since He did not directly ordain that it be observed. It is likely that Jesus celebrated this feast along with all Jews in the time that He lived among us. The hand of God that moved in Esther was the hand of Jesus.
