Book of Esther

And also, the pastor did a good job, Tim Caldwell.

And Roger, he talks in the book of Esther.

And, you know, again, you know, those Old Testament books, I don't know a lot about.

I've forgotten, you know, and Esther, I don't know if you know the story on Esther, do

Then was the king's wrath pacified.

Book of Esther, chapter 7, verse 10.

Question 8.

In the book of Esther,

who had been carried away

from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah? A.

That makes sense.

The right answer is letter C.

And then last question of the day for you.

In the book of Esther, who... was Haman's wife.

H-A-M-A-N.

Who was Haman's wife? In the book of Esther, who was Haman's wife? Was it Esther, Ruth, Zeresh, or Hagar? Esther, Ruth, Zeresh, or Hagar? The answer is found in Esther 5.10.

Zeresh was married to Haman.

Zeresh.

The Spring Holidays Usually as the winter is closing, or as early spring begins in North America, the Jewish community remembers Purim or the Feast of Lots.

The main focus of Purim is to recall the events of the Book of Esther and how God used individuals like Esther and Mordecai to bring about his deliverance of the Jewish people from certain annihilation.

The Messianic Jewish movement remembers Purim via many of the same customs and traditions as the synagogue.

and tends to rightfully use it as a time to focus on not only the necessary deliverance of the Jews, for without the Jews there would be no Messiah Yeshua, but also how we can stand against anti-Semitism in our own day.

Any door, the right support.

what exactly our blessed lord said and taught and meant and did suppose again the man we are imagining had written down much of what he heard christ and the apostles say but had not fully reported all and was able to supplement what was lacking by personal explanations which he gave from his perfect memory that again is a figure of the catholic church she wrote down much indeed and most important parts of our lord's teaching and of the apostolic explanation of it in scripture but nevertheless she did not intend it to be a complete and exhaustive account apart from her own explanation of it and as a matter of fact she is able from her own perpetual memory to give fuller and clearer accounts and to add some things that are either omitted from the written report or are only hinted at or partially recorded or mentioned merely in passing such is the catholic church in relation to her own book the new testament it is hers because she wrote it by her first apostles and preserved it and guarded it all down the ages by her popes and bishops nobody else has any right to it whatsoever any more than a stranger has the right to come into your house and break open your desk and pilfer your private documents therefore i say that for protestants to step in fifteen hundred years after the catholic church had had possession of the bible and to pretend that it is theirs and that they alone know what the meaning of it is and that the scriptures alone without the voice of the catholic church explaining them are intended by god to be the guide and rule of faith this i say is the height of absurdity only those who are abysmally ignorant of the history of the sacred scriptures their origin and authorship and preservation could pretend that there is any logic or common sense in such a mode of acting but the absurdity becomes tenfold worse when it is remembered that the protestants did not appropriate the whole of the catholic books but actually cast out some from the collection and took what remained and elevated these into a new canon or volume of sacred scripture such as had never been seen or heard of before from the first to the sixteenth century in any church either in heaven above or on earth beneath or in the waters under the earth let us make good this charge item three open a protestant bible and you will find there are seven complete books a-wanting that is seven books fewer than there are in the catholic bible and seven fewer than there were in every collection and catalogue of holy scripture from the fourth to the sixteenth century Their names are Tobias, Baruch, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, 1st Maccabees, 2nd Maccabees, together with seven chapters of the Book of Esther, and sixty-six verses of the third chapter of Daniel, commonly called the Song of the Three Children, Daniel chapter 3, verses 24 through 90, Douay version.

these were deliberately cut out and the bible bound up without them the criticisms and remarks of luther calvin and the swiss and german reformers about these seven books of the old testament show to what depths of impiety those unhappy men had allowed themselves to fall when they broke away from the true church even in regard to the new testament it required all the powers of resistance on the part of the more conservative reformers to prevent luther from flinging out the epistle of st james as unworthy to remain within the volume of holy scripture an epistle of straw he called it with no character of the gospel in it in the same way and almost to the same degree he dishonored the epistle of st jude and the epistle to the hebrews and the beautiful apocalypse of st john declaring they were not on the same footing as the rest of the books and did not contain the same amount of gospel i e his gospel the presumptuous way indeed in which luther among others poured contempt and doubt upon some of the inspired writings which had been acknowledged and cherished and venerated for one thousand or twelve hundred years and why did he impugn such books as we have mentioned because they did not suit his new doctrines and opinions he had arrived at the principle of private judgment, of picking and choosing religious doctrines, and whenever any book, such as the book of Maccabees, taught a doctrine that was repugnant to his individual taste, as, for example, that it is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from sins.

2nd Maccabees, chapter 12, verse 46.

Joseph was a counselor to the Pharaoh in Egypt to end the famine.

Esther was a political figure.

Mordecai was a political figure.

Nehemiah was a political figure.
