Adar

The Biblical Significance of the Month of Adar

Adar is the twelfth, last month in the Hebrew calendar. It is immediately followed by Nisan, which is “the beginning of months” (Exodus 12:2).

​

In Jewish tradition, there is a saying “when the month of Adar arrives, we increase in joy” to welcome a season of miracles. The Hebrew name “Adar” is related to the word “adir,” which denotes strength and power. Adar was the last month the Jewish people spent in slavery in Egypt before the Exodus. Adar’s joy is so great, in part, because it serves as the opening to an even greater rejoicing: the miracles of Passover. However, it starts on a completely different note.

The greatest prophecy yet to be fulfilled in the history of the modern restoration of Israel is the outpouring of the Spirit foretold by many prophets in Scripture (Ezekiel 36, 37; Isaiah 43; Zechariah 12:14). Let us pray that God will complete His work by the Holy Spirit in the Land of Israel at this time.
