As Purim approaches, a convergence of geopolitical tension and celestial phenomena has captured global attention. President Trump has reportedly given Iran 10–15 days to reach a nuclear agreement — a timeline landing squarely on the eve of Purim. At the same time, nationwide protests continue to spread across Iran, with mounting casualties and unrest. Overhead, a rare planetary alignment and a blood moon are set to coincide with the feast commemorating the great reversal of Haman’s genocidal decree. The timing is striking: war rhetoric, internal upheaval in Persia, and signs in the heavens unfolding together.

The story of Purim is defined by v’nahafoch hu — “it was turned upside down” (Esther 9:1). What appeared to be certain destruction became deliverance. The hidden hand of God, though never named in the book of Esther, moved decisively behind the scenes. Scripture reminds us that the Lord “changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings” (Daniel 2:21). Persia — modern-day Iran — once again stands at the center of global tension. As threats escalate and deadlines loom, the echoes of ancient history reverberate into our present moment.
