This morning we lost three soldiers. They were soldiers of America. Honor them.

Based on current events as of February 27, 2026, there are several striking, non-coincidental parallels being noted between the Book of Esther and the present situation involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, centered around the Purim holiday and upcoming celestial events.
Here are the key parallels:

1. The Purim Connection (Persia vs. Iran)
Then (Esther 3-9): Haman the Agagite, an official in the Persian Empire, plotted to destroy the Jewish people. Purim celebrates the "divine reversal" where Haman was hanged on the very gallows he built for Mordecai, and the Jews were saved.
Now (2025–2026): The current threat comes from Iran, which is ancient Persia. A series of "blood moons" (total lunar eclipses) is occurring, with a major one falling directly on Purim (March 3, 2026), following another one on Purim 2025.
Parallel: The threat of annihilation is originating from the same geographical location (Persia/Iran) during the same festival (Purim) that celebrates their destruction.

2. The "For Such a Time" Intervention (USS Gerald R. Ford)
Then (Esther 4:14): Esther was urged by Mordecai to act, for she was placed in the kingdom "for such a time as this" to save her people.
Now (2026): As tensions peak with Iran following failed negotiations, the U.S. has deployed the USS Gerald R. Ford strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean, with reports of it anchoring near Israel to provide maximum leverage and defense.
Parallel: Just as Esther risked her life to approach the King to reverse the decree, the U.S. presence (a powerful ally/King figure) is acting as the intervening force to protect Israel from a "decree" of destruction.

3. The "Divine Reversal" (Midnight Hammer)
Then: Haman’s plans were overturned instantly, turning a day of sorrow into a day of victory.
Now: Reports indicate that following the 2025 conflict ("Operation Rising Lion"), Israel and the U.S. have been preparing to act against Iran's nuclear capabilities.
Parallel: The 2026 Purim blood moon—which occurs on March 3—arrives amid fears of a major U.S.-Iran conflict, with many watching to see if a similar "reversal" occurs, where the aggressive power is neutralized.

4. The Blood Moon Prophecy (Joel 2:31)
Then: The Book of Esther does not explicitly mention God, but His hand is seen in the perfect timing of events.
Now: The blood moons are being viewed by many as a prophetic sign ("God's billboard") according to Joel 2:30-31, which states: "The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the LORD arrives".
Parallel: The celestial events coincide with geopolitical crises, signaling that the events are part of a larger divine plan of protection for Israel.
In summary, the confluence of the USS Gerald R. Ford (military protection) in the Mediterranean, the direct threat from Iran (modern Persia), and the blood moon landing on Purim in 2026 presents a compelling, direct parallel to the"tables turning" story of Esther.

An Iranian university put an American flag on the ground so students would step on it in protest....

Instead ... students avoided it and walked around ....

W.H.G.

President Trump just gave ABC News the line of the century:

“I got him before he got me. They tried twice. Well, I got him first.”

No one has more aura than President Trump.

God bless you, Mr. President!
