普珥日—-以斯帖記9:21-22[每年守亞達月十四, 十五兩日.  以這月的兩日為猶太人脫離仇敵得平安, 轉憂為喜, 轉悲為樂的吉日.  在這兩日設筵歡迎樂, 彼此餽送禮物, 賙濟窮人.]普珥原文的意思是抽籤.  整卷以斯帖記充滿了巧合.  但巧合實在多得叫人覺得絕不可能都是巧合.  巧合其實都是上帝刻意安排的, 一切都不是偶然.  例如:兩位王后:一個被廢, 一個被立.  兩封詔書:一封出自哈曼, 要滅絕猶太人.  一封出自末底改, 要拯救猶太人.  兩個陰謀:王的太監要謀害王, 哈曼要謀害末底改.  兩個木架:太監的陰謀被揭發後被掛在木架上, 哈曼事敗後被掛在自己做的木架上.  兩個湊巧:末底改湊巧知道了太監的陰謀, 王湊巧那個晚上睡不著覺, 讀歷史檔案知道了末底改救王有功.  兩個戒指:王賜給哈曼的戒指, 他用來害猶太人.  王賜給末底改的戒指他用來拯救猶太人.  十三日:本來在這一日猶太人就要被滅絕.  後來這一日, 猶太人殺盡了那些要害他們的人.  普珥節就是要慶祝一個事實, 這個世界不是機緣巧合.  這個節期被命名為普珥, 正是要提醒猶太人和所有認識上帝的人, 即使事情看來似乎是偶然, 就像是抽籤一樣, 但是上帝仍然是世間所有事情終極的掌權者.  正如箴言3:11所言[神造萬物, 各按其時成為美好, 又將永生安置在世人心裏.  然而神從始至終的作為, 人不能參透.]

Purim – Esther 9:21-22 [The fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar are observed every year. The two days of this month are used as a time for the Jews to gain peace from their enemies, turning sorrow into joy, and turning sorrow into It is an auspicious day for music. On these two days, feasts are held to welcome music, gifts are given to each other, and alms are given to the poor.] The original text of Pur means drawing lots. The entire book of Esther is full of coincidences. But there are so many coincidences that it makes people feel that they are absolutely impossible. It may all be a coincidence. In fact, coincidences are all deliberately arranged by God, and nothing is accidental. For example: two queens: one was deposed, and the other was established. Two edicts: one from Haman, to exterminate the Jews. One from Mordecai, wanted to save the Jews. Two plots: the king’s eunuch plotted to kill the king, and Haman plotted to kill Mordecai. Two wooden frames: the eunuchs were hung on the wooden frame after their plot was exposed, and Haman was defeated. He was hung on a wooden frame he made. Two coincidences: Mordecai happened to know the eunuch’s conspiracy, and Wang happened to be unable to sleep that night. He read the historical archives and learned that Mordecai had contributed to saving the king. Two rings: given by Wang The ring given to Haman, which he used to harm the Jews. The ring given by the king to Mordecai, which he used to save the Jews. The Thirteenth: Originally, the Jews were going to be exterminated on this day. Later, on this day, all the Jews were killed. Those who want to harm them. Purim celebrates the fact that this world is not an accident. The festival is named Purim to remind the Jews and all who know God that even when things appear to be accidental, It’s like casting lots, but God is still the ultimate ruler of all things in this world. Just as Proverbs 3:11 says, “God created everything beautiful in its own time, and He placed eternal life in the hearts of men. But God is from the beginning to the end. The final deed cannot be understood by humans.]
