Chapter 2 The History of Esther the jewish maiden the conspiracy discovered haman's plot a mourning nation the golden sceptre the queen's banquet artaxerxes or as he is termed in the scriptures ahasuerus sat on the throne of persia lord of the widest kingdom which then existed upon earth a kingdom which extended from india to ethiopia and comprised a hundred and twenty-seven provinces the will of the monarch was the law to which many nations were constrained to bow ahasuerus possessed neither the wisdom nor the self-command requisite in one to whom power so vast is entrusted he chose for his chief favourite and minister haman an amalekite a man of unbounded cruelty and pride and dismissed his own queen for venturing to disobey a capricious command given to her by her husband when he was probably under the influence of wine In choosing another partner of his state to fill the place of the dethroned Queen Vashti, the despots sought for no higher qualification than that of personal attractions, but the almighty disposer of events guided the choice of the monarch.
Cliff StoneNARRATOR
In the palace of Shushan was a certain Jew named Mordecai of the tribe of Benjamin.
Cliff StoneNARRATOR
With a father's care he had reared Esther, a young orphan maiden, a relative of his own.
Cliff StoneNARRATOR
the jewess was possessed of exquisite beauty amongst the fair she was the fairest ahasuerus saw her loved her and raised the beauteous captive to the rank of queen of persia Her elevation appears to have had no effect in changing the character of this daughter of Abraham.
Cliff StoneNARRATOR
In the palace of Ahasuerus, surrounded by luxury and pomp, Esther preserved her faith to the god of her fathers, though by the charge of Mordecai she kept her nation and kindred secret from the king.
Cliff StoneNARRATOR
While placed in a position far above that of her early benefactor, the young queen still rendered to Mordecai the dutiful obedience of a daughter.
Cliff StoneNARRATOR
through her the jew made known to ahasuerus a secret plot to assassinate him which had been made by two of his chamberlains the conspirators suffered the punishment of death but he to whose timely warning the king owed the preservation of his life sat day after day in the gate of the royal palace unrewarded and neglected Through this gate passed Haman, the proud favourite of the Persian monarch.
OsterHOST
His downfall is in a moment, just like you saw by Haman.
OsterHOST
How did it work by Haman? Was his downfall gradual? In a way, yeah, there's parts of the story of how, but when you look at, Haman goes to a party with Hashvedesh and Esther, and in his mind, he's at the peak of his, he's even being invited privately to a party together with the king and the queen.
OsterHOST
So he's at the peak of his career and in a second he has a downfall and boom, he's on the gallows.
OsterHOST
So when the tzaddik, Gomor, takes out the nitzitz of the roshe, what seemed to be something which is so powerful, once it remains just the matzias of Ra, not serving any purpose for Kedusha anymore because the nitzitz was taken out, so then Ra itself has no kiyam.
Bheki GamedzeHOST
Remember that Mordecai was a Jew in captivity.
Bheki GamedzeHOST
Esther was an orphan girl in captivity, but she hid her identity and she became married to the king and she went to the king in captivity to protect her people from annihilation.
Bheki GamedzeHOST
I am here to decree and declare that Haman and his ten sons shall hang on their own gallows in the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Bheki GamedzeHOST
Every agenda to take away this nation from the hands of Jesus shall be cut off in Jesus' name and every corruption behind it shall be exposed.
8 MINS LATER
Bheki GamedzeHOST
You'll possess what God has in store for you.
Bheki GamedzeHOST
I decree and I declare that supernaturally you are elevated in the marketplace.
Bheki GamedzeHOST
And you shall rise higher and higher like Daniel, like Shadrach, like Meshach, like Abednego, like Esther, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Bheki GamedzeHOST
And your legacy shall go on from generation to generation.
Joshua SelmanHOST

The maiden being Esther.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
Same thing with Roth, who is a Moabite, the archenemy of Israel, in the lineage of Jesus Christ.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
In Esther, when the nations look on and see Esther being sovereignly raised up to save ethnic Jews from certain destruction under Haman, the text tells us that on that day many people became Jews.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
Well, they didn't become Jews because they changed their ethnicity or changed their birth mother.
Hank HanegraaffHOST
They became Jews because they believed in Yahweh, the God of Israel, and therefore were brought into all the types and shadows pointing forward.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Because even Satan is not everybody that hates him.
Joshua SelmanHOST
hallelujah there are people who love him so if everybody around you hates you it's not a it's not it's not just a spiritual problem you are perpetually violating something somebody should like you enough and all you need is for one person and if that person is king ahasuerus you become the queen immediately It didn't matter how many people hated Esther.
Joshua SelmanHOST
The right person who needed to love her made her queen.
Joshua SelmanHOST
It didn't matter how many people hated Nehemiah.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
And most Jews celebrate it as, you know, so I'm not sure how familiar your audience is with the Bible.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
There's something called the Book of Esther.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
where the Jewish diaspora is in Persia and the Persians conspired to kill all the Jews.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
But the Jews found out about this conspiracy and they reported to Queen Esther who is a crypto Jew, meaning she's Jewish, but she married into the Persian nobility.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
So her husband is the Persian king.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
She hears about this, and she tells her husband, who then kills all the conspirators.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
And so this is when the nation of Israel came together, and they were able to... defend themselves, and they celebrate that in the holiday called Purim, okay? And the idea is that all Jews must stand together.
Jiang XueqinGUEST
But if you're something frank as you interpret the story in a different way, you believe that what's important is for Jews to infiltrate different organizations, different power centers throughout the world, so that they can save other Jews when the time is necessary, okay? That's how something frank as would interpret the book of Esther, but it's a very important book in the San Francisco movement, but it's also the most important book in the Habat-Liveridge movement.
Vince MillerHOST
Our text today is for you.
Vince MillerHOST
It is Esther chapter 2, verses 19 through 20.
Vince MillerHOST
Now, when the virgins were gathered together the second time Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, Esther had not made known her kindred, or her people as Mordecai had commanded her for Esther obeyed Mordecai just as when she was brought up by him.
Vince MillerHOST
The real test, I think, of success is not reaching the top.
Vince MillerHOST
It is who you become when you get there.
Vince MillerHOST
You see, Esther is no longer an unknown Jewish orphan living in exile.
Vince MillerHOST
She is the queen of Persia now.
Vince MillerHOST
She wears the crown.
Mike BlumeGUEST

Mike BlumeGUEST
And in Romans 7, sin is killing Paul.
