How the “Great Reversal” of Purim reveals the pattern of the Resurrection

After more than 25 years of sharing the Gospel as a professional missionary, I’ve found that our witness is most confident when we see the “Gospel connections” woven throughout all of Scripture.

At Larry Stamm Ministries, we bridge the gap between the Old and New Testaments to reveal the Jewishness of the Gospel. Today, as we release our brand-new 70-minute teaching, “The Power of Purim,”we are looking at a theme that defines our faith: The Great Reversal.

What is the Great Reversal? In the Book of Esther, the Hebrew phrase V’nahafoch hu means “and it was turned upside down.” It is the moment when an irrevocable decree of death is transformed into a decree of life.

We see this pattern everywhere in redemptive history:

• At Purim: Haman’s gallows, intended for the destruction of the Jewish people, became the very instrument of his own downfall and the people’s deliverance.
• At Passover: The night intended for judgment also became the night of liberation. The lamb’s blood turned a “death sentence” into a “passing over.”
• At the Resurrection: The Cross—the enemy’s ultimate weapon of shame and death—became the ultimate platform for life. What looked like a funeral on Friday was revealed as the greatest victory in history on Sunday.

For Such a Time as This! Understanding this “Great Reversal” isn’t just about history; it’s about your confidence today. When you realize that we serve a God who specializes in turning traps into testimonies, the Gospel becomes a confident topic of conversation.

While this 70-minute teaching dives deep into the Book of Esther, it will forever change how you view the victory of the Resurrection and the upcoming Easter and Passover seasons.
