PURIM

Purim celebrates Hebrew Esther’s victory over anti-Semitic Haman.

Purim is NOT a Sabbath and is NOT a High Holy Day!

 PURIM, the Feast of Esther and the Festival Of Lots, is not a YAHUAH-established, YAHUAH-ordained Feast / Festival. 

PURIM is not mentioned in Tanakh, the Hebrew’s Holy Scriptures (The Old Testament, in Christian Bibles), and it is not even mentioned in the historical Book Of Esther.

For, following Shemini Atzeret in early fall, the next Holy Day on YAHUAH’s calendar is the next Passover, six months later, in the following spring, a month after PURIM.

This means that both Simchat Torah and Hanukkah (Chanukah), along with PURIM, are NOT Scriptural holy days, they are not YAHUAH-established, and they are not YAHUAH-ordained.

PURIM is a later-established celebration to commemorate a feast and subsequent victorious events recorded in The Book Of Esther.

Since PURIM could fall on any day of the week, other than when on Saturday (a routine, weekly, Sabbath) there is no special, YAHUAH-ordained “Holy-Day” or Sabbath on PURIM because PURIM is a tradition-based celebration instituted by men, not by YAHUAH.

The Seven High Holy Days established by YAHUAH are: 

1 The first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread

2 The last day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread

3 The day of Pentecost (Shavuot) which coincides with the beginning of The Feast of Weeks

4 The Day of Trumpets (Yom Teruah)

5 The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)

6 The first day of the Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth or Sukkot)

7 The Last Great Day (also, Sukkot)

These Holy Days are spoken of in Leviticus chapter 23; Three of these annual Sabbaths are Feasts periods. 

Two of the Feast periods have been positively identified in Scripture as being seven day long periods (a 7 day week).

The Feast of Weeks (a.k.a. The Feast of First Fruits), a symbolic Spring Harvest, is most probably, also, exactly seven days long. 

Feasts are “Appointed Times” but are not necessarily Holy Convocations (Sabbath Assemblies). 

However, four of the Seven Annual Sabbath Days (are Holy Convocations and) do occur during a Feast Period (a 7 day week). 

“The Last Great Day” immediately follows the seven day feast period of The Feast of Tabernacles (a.k.a. The Feast of Ingathering, a.k.a. The Feast of Booths, a.k.a. Succoth or Sukkot). 

Only three Annual High Sabbaths positively do not fall within a seven day Feast Period (Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and The Last Great Day).

These are not manmade Jewish laws, but The Eternal Father’s Laws.

The Seven Annual Sabbaths (High Sabbaths)

If you thought that The Eternal only had weekly Sabbath Days then you would be mistaken.

There are SEVEN Annual Holy Sabbaths that occur once every year.

These SEVEN Annual Sabbaths are:
