King Xerxes of Persia enjoyed throwing elaborate banquets

The King’s wife showed disrespect refusing to come to the Kings banquet to be fawned over for her beauty so he divorced her. Search made for new wife.

No mention of God made in Esther but His handprints all over it.

The Jews were all in exile in Persia (modern day Iran)

Esther was an orphan raised by her cousin Mordecai-(Selected for King’s harem in 10th month of seventh year) in a search for new wife for the King) Mordecai instructed her not to tell who her family or nationality was. Hadasha (Esther’s real name)means-New Esther-means revealing of hidden things

Seven King’s Eunuchs Seven High Officials (wise men) Seven maids appointed to Esther (Seven is God’s number)

Esther was given 12 months of beauty treatments.

Haaman (King’s right hand man) plotted King’s death, then later annihilation of all Jews (Jews were in exile in Persia-modern day Iran)

Mordecai was King’s guard at gate- became secret whistleblower of 1)plot to kill King 2)Hamaan’s plot to kill all Jews

Haaman was furious that Mordecai didn’t bow to him at advise of other high officials built 70 ft. gallows for him

Mordecai used a banquet held by Esther to inform King Xerxes of plot to kill him

King Xerxes consults Haaman as too how he should reward the one whom he wished to honor. Haaman (full of pride and selfishness thought the King referred to himself and named elaborate honorary measures. King Xerxes told Haaman to give all of what he had named to Mordecai.

Psalm 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Haaman learned Modecai was a Jew then conspired officials to go along with a plan to annihilate all of the Jews. Then convinced King Xerxes to pass an edict (law) to kill every Jew and stamp it with his signet ring. They cast lots (equal to tossing a dice today) chose the twelfth month of Adar to carry out this plot. King Xerxes offered blood money to whomever would carry this out. (Today this would be the push to wiped out all Christians, whites, men and any and all who refused to comply and compromise faith moral godly values and freedoms)

Mordecai learned of this plan and told Esther to inform the King that Haaman planned to her all of her people and her family wiped out.
Mordecai tells Esther if she fails to stand up that help will come from elsewhere but her and her family will not be spared. He tells her “Perhaps you were put here for such a time as this”

Esther approached King Xerxes without permission under of penalty of death risking her own life.

Esther held a banquet for the King and Haaman. The king asked what she wished for and offered her up to half the Kingdom. Esther just asked for a follow up banquet the following day where she revealed that Haaman was behind the plot. (Queen Esther opened the King’s eyes to the truth)

The King furiously stormed out and Haaman became terrified realizing his fate plead with Queen Esther for Mercy. An official informed King Xerxes that Haaman had erected a gallows for Mordecai and that other officials were involved in the plot. King Xerxes ordered that Haaman and his ten sons all hang from it.

King Xerxes then signed a new decree (law signed with a signet ring-today’s notary) that the Jews had the right to kill every attacker who attempted to harm or kill their people (from that point forward) and that they could plunder all of their wealth and property. King Xerxes decreed that this was to be carried out on the thirteenth of Adar (12th month) the very day it had been planned for them. 500 officials were then killed in the Citadel of Souza. (Akin to Washington DC) corrupt politicians, media, education, judges etc; (Destruction of all who plotted evil against an entire people)

King Xerxes appointed Mordecai the highest official in the land next to the King. He also decreed that the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar be declared holiday of Purim to celebrate and have a day of rest from that day forward. On this holiday it was declared mandatory to celebrate every year (passed througb generations) and to share food with each other and give gifts to the poor. Signifying sorrow turned to joy.

Mordecai was esteemed by King Xerxes and all of his people for working for the welfare of all of the Jews. Comparison to (Wikileaks, President Trump, Q, Mike Lindell, anons, etc;)
