Joel 2:23 KJVS Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
Prophetic Coming Out, Shifting Mindsets Joel 2 Joel 2:15-29 KJVS Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: [16] Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. [17] Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? [18] Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people. [19] Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied 4
therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: [20] But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. [21] Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things. [22] Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. [23] Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. [24] And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. [25] And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. [26] And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. [27] And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none
5
else: and my people shall never be ashamed. [28] And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: [29] And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. Daniel 10:6,18-21 KJVS His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. [18] Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, [19] And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. [20] Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come. [21] But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince. 6
Daniel 10 Tells us our God will fight the kingdom of Persia and Greece. It tells about what would happen to God's people in the latter days. God said weakness shall hit the people, then God will touch them to strengthen them to stand them up and stand up what had fallen. He is doing battle on our behalf Even in our weakness. All we need to do is stand in the scriptures of Truth.
Passover Leviticus 23:5 KJVS In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's passover. Numbers 9:5 KJVS And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

Honoring The First Month Queen Esther, the orphan In the time of Esther the enemy of the people of God took away the children's of God ability to celebrate the Lord's Passover, also known as PUR or Purim. The enemy believed 8
that taken away this solemn celebration it with weakened the children of God. The very next year, he thought to kill them all but God sent a judge and a deliverer the orphan Esther. Esther 3:7 KJVS In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar. Esther 3:12 KJVS Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring. 9
Esther 9:24 KJVS Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them; The enemy knows that PUR, Purim or to purify is a time of changing. It is a demonstration of changing your mind. The power of changing your mind to think more like God is empowering. Not only is it empowering, it allows you to walk in newness, becoming a new man. Declaring power with the mind of a Ruler. Able to shift Atmospheres. Purim would be a time of Oneness in the community because it was a yearly Holy assembly. It took place in the F IRST MONTH. It was a time of an open portal with immediate downloads of God. Purim was the Lords Passover. God said in the first month what does solemn Gathering he will strengthen and touch his people.

The wealth after Passover counted Ezra 8:31 KJVS Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way. Joshua 4:19-24 KJVS And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho. [20] And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal. [21] And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones? [22] Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. [23] For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over: [24] That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever.

Numbers 9:1-5 KJVS And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, [2] Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season. [3] In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it. [4] And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover. [5] And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
SECOND MONTH 1 Kings 6:1 KJVS And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the Lord.

Strong's Number H2099 brightness, the month of flowers; Ziv - Zif = "brightness" name of the 2nd month of the year, corresponding to A pr-May
Third Month 2 Chronicles 31:7 KJVS In the third month they began to lay i the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. It was a time that the corn was able to be harvested. The corn was harvested from May to September. Springtime is the beginning of the year. We can see that the first month is March, it is the beginning of plants shooting up. Everything is fresh, new and green, breaking ground. In the second month you should see for flowers blooming, and the sun brighter than in March. The third month you should be able to reap corn all the way through summer, until September the beginning of fall. At which time you are supposed to have another time of fasting and rest and again honoring the coming out of slavery, living in temperary tents.
13
As you can see the children of God reinstituted the Gathering on the proper Passover which is March 14th. In the solemn celebrations of the first month, God promised to provide provision and protection and to give power to them because they thought to repent as a community, turn towards God, then he heals and prosper their land. God is saying honor his appointed time people of God and he will bless you beyond measure.
