George W. Bush the Purim President By Doug Price

This first came to my attention when Benin Hinn appeared

on a Christian T.V. telethon just days after the deadlocked 2000 Presidential

election. Benin Hinn said something was going to happen in the 13th day of December or the (12th month) in reference to the election and the book of Esther.

December 13, 2000 - 12:21 EST

Gore decides to concede election

WASHINGTON (AP) - Al Gore decided Wednesday to concede the country's overtime election, aides said, clearing the way for George W. Bush to become 43rd president and leader of a nation sharply divided along political lines. The vice president acted after a split Supreme Court ruled against recounts in contested Florida.

In the book of Esther when the evil Haman was seeking a day to destroy the Jews,they cast lots (dice)

in order to determine when this would happen.

(WEB) Letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

The Supreme Court ruling and Al Gore concession speech happen on December 13.

The Supreme Court actually convened on the 12th and ended about 3 hours pass midnight on the 13th.

Then 3 years latter on December 13. 2003

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. Yesterday, December the 13th, at around 8:30 p.m. Baghdad time, United States military forces captured Saddam Hussein alive. He was found near a farmhouse outside the city of Tikrit, in a swift raid conducted without casualties. And now the former dictator of Iraq will face the justice he denied to millions.

These two events on the 13th day of the 12th month in the Julian calender

There are even more events that happen

on the Hebrew calender.

The 1991 Gulf War also ended on Purim. The Book of Esther recounts how Purim was the day that was found by the casting of lots to be the best day to destroy the Jews. George Bush's decision to prematurely halt the war on Purim 1991 when the Iraqi army could have been annihilated, may portend the eventual destruction of the Jewish nation by the hand of some of these same forces. Coincidentally, his son George W. Bush demanded Saddam Hussein leave Iraq on Purim in 2003.

In case you have difficulty locating the book of Esther...or just find it easier to read a synopsis...here you go.

Purim is the yearly festival commemorating the deliverance of the Jewish people in the days of King Xerxes of Persia (called Ahashverosh or Ahasuerus in Hebrew), as described in the Biblical book of Esther.

The Book of Esther, which is read in its entirety in the synagogue on Purim, tells of a Jewish girl named Hadassah, also known as Esther, whose circumstances put her in a position to save her people from an evil plot to annihilate the entire Jewish population of the Persian Empire . The story is full of delightfully ironic twists and extraordinary coincidences
