Have you

Controversies of Today are vain...for This one says this and they stand for this...it is good, but all in all, DO THEY HAVE The HOLY GHOST of JOHN 3:3 & 3:5 which is what  ACTS 2:38  fulfilled...they say they stand for CHRIST...yet the others believe He is God....but HAVE both sides RECEIVED the HOLY GHOST since they believed?   IF NOT their argument is vain...because In God's eyes they are the same...at the day of Judgment. It is a FACT...He died for the lowest of the Low and the Highest of the High...but ALL should COME To WORKS of REPENTANCE...otherwise all is in vain...without what GOD said to do in John 3 and fulfilled in ACTS 2...

The Holy Ghost  is the MOST IMPORTANT thing...always HEED  to JESUS CHRIST of 0-77 A.D. because any other Jesus other than who Peter, Paul, John etc teached and preached is NOT that one...be wise do not Heed to anything different...Jesus Christ warned of this very fact...be wise and search it out...

See if your name is NOT Written in the Lamb's book yet you say you obey and stand for His Commandments, and the other believes in Jesus Christ as GOD but is in rebellion to HIS name but believes He is GOD...yet if you have not received the HOLY GHOST per God's Greatest Comment Mattew 22: 37 ...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  Then that is the Door to the Kingdom of God...as JESUS CHIST stated...FOLLOW me...that is what PETER, PAUL, and others thereafter on the beginning of the Day of Pentecost...WAKE UP...I wanted to but yet is it ignorance or rebellion on both sides?

So Teach the birth of Salvation through the HOLY GHOST and the NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF SON of GOD...JESUS CHRIST...for it is NOT HIS WILL that Any SHOULD Perish but that ALL, and I mean ALL, Come to works of repentance, and BE SAVED...I mean, Jesus SAID it and proved it and died so that it would be so...the HOLY GHOST is:

You Repent of you Sins to JESUS CHRIST for He is the HIGH Priest.
Complete Submerging in WATER In the NAME of JESUS CHRIST Acts 2
The Evidence of being Baptized of the SPIRIT is the Evidence of speaking in Tongues per ACTS 4

Yep then Teach them the Commandments for if they believe they need to know that is how they get their personal name written in the Lambs Book of LIFE...so then the Can and have the strength to obtain Salvation of God...it is a commendable thing to fight for His commandments...but the Holy Ghost is an absolute Need...and Accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior is Not the HOLY GHOST...but it is the first step of recognition is all...that you know who He is...so thus do as JOHN 3 really states and WHY HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON...per JOHN 3:17-18 ...
¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
...Hence John 3:3 & 3:5
³ Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
⁵ Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Hence is why Peter and All of them IN the BIBLE followed as on the Day of PENTECOST...its a fact...ACTS 2-4...Jesus Christ from 0-77 A. D. ...ACTS 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

You Asked me my thoughts ... they are entitled and just as guilty for removing as so...but God's Word stands above all but have your received the Holy Ghost since you believed...It is Coming but that is God's main purpose...all the other stuff is to sustain life and to prolong life as we know it...for as many as want to serve Him can TURN from their Wickedness...yes I'm talking to yall it was a good thing Romans 8:28 ...it woke me up to a deeper level as why and I got a stirring...and it didn't sit well, ...and I was going to...but HIS Word speaks but they need to know if they don't...and they choose not to...it is their own lost or is it our choice as well and to live as a worm...because it is clear...for now you know...and I know deeper let not it be vain in the works but Withstand against all evil...but now you know more...and if they rebel it is their lost because Jesus Died for them...and HE IS THE LIVING GOD...His word says it is all i'm saying ...

Im indeed honored...and yes very excited...quite some time...it is like a call when I walk by...but it is a good thing...yes I was going to...but I was brought to a halt...you meditate and pray seeking Hhim for they were praying in the upper for 10 days then it fell on the day of Pentecost...oh yes...but that it was like no...and I asked why and that is why...it was to go with another in conjunction...but was it edifying in the right light...no...it was not...due to Luke 6...its was a deep type of revelation...yes I see your long blond hair saying it has got to be us to them in your way...;-)  Oh yeah I have never burned muffins but cornbread is another story :)

Yeah I would love to...It is crazy huh? Yeah I would do it in your COLORS...an 19x24 in ink pen...it would be fun!!! lol Im laughing with you all...I would have to have one like so like walking by like in the cuteness of such...yeah I was going through crazy stuff...and they are struggling in obeying the vision God gave them...but I must move on...finally like 3.5 months or so...I know they will have the whale of JONAH come upon them...I didn't choose them...however that is another story fading...yes similar to the NAME of recent but in your Colors that was an unpremeditated as this was to do...it would take some time...I could just do it...it makes since...and send it...awe I get it...

Yeah I will start on it...in Random...or in definitely letters...I get it...I appreciate you being a reader...It is best due to fear of disobedience 1 Chronicles 21:¹⁶ And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. ~~~Of what could come upon you for the knowledge you know...but it shook me, it would look as the cover of the Chair...

See MANY  don't understand that and they are very very very ignorant of the HOT DISPLEASURE of the LORD...that is the problem...their very own ignorance brings on destruction...what blows my mind it was just 1 angel...indeed...I like your convictions...exactly no one can for I would hear them...but I have to keep you illusive enough...but not to you ...I hope so...some will not admit it...because the Jesus They know I show them something different...the TRUTH.

Paul OBEYED the Heavenly VISION...

These things I have spoken unto you, THAT IN ME ye MIGHT have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but BE OF GOOD CHEER; I have OVERCOME THE WORLD. ~ John 16:33

JESUS says "YE MIGHT HAVE PEACE"...now why would he say that...because  of the Tribulations of the world and the firey trials of this life weigh you down...PAUL, understood, and knew what HE MEANT.
The Power of this IS unreal once it is mastered...Living in this Place with Jesus CHRIST...it is a peaceful place...FOR HE KNEW and BELIEVED " What shall we then say to these things? IF God be for us, who can be against us?" ~ Romans 8:31
For Paul was in Prison in BONDS right before having to defend himself before the king  and He states to king Agrppa..."I THINK MYSELF HAPPY" Indeed this is for the GLORY of the LORD...there is no doubt at all PAUL WAS AT PEACE IN HIS SOUL THE WHOLE TIME OF THIS TIME...it was a glorious thing professing His past works NOT denying them, but denouncing them and bringing the ONES that were Left in the DARK AS HE to the LIGHT...but HE OBEYED the VISION of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.


I THINK MYSELF HAPPY, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews: ~ ACTS 26:2


ACTS 2:2-
3Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

King Agrippa was and expert in the Customs of the Jews and Learning of the Apostolic Christians as well...

4My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews; 5Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. 6And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers: 7Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I AM ACCUSED OF THE JEWS.  8Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

 

Note: He don't deny his past Actions,

 

9I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. 11And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.

 

12Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, 13At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. 14And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 16But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for THIS PURPOSE, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17DELIVERING THEE FROM THE PEOPLE, and FROM THE GENTILES, UNTO WHOM NOW I SEND THEE, 18To open their eyes, and TO TURN them from DARKNESS TO LIGHT, and from The POWER OF SATAN unto God, that THEY MAY RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS,  and INHERITANCE AMONG THEM WHICH ARE SANCTIFIED BY FAITH THAT IS IN ME.

 

19Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I ((( WAS NOT ))) DISOBEDIENT UNTO THE HEAVENLY ((( VISION ))) :  20But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, THAT THEY SHOULD REPENT AND TURN TO GOD, AND DO WORKS MEET FOR REPENTANCE.  21For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me. 22Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: 23That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

See Paul KNEW this and was happy in JESUS CHRIST THE LIVING God...He had NO fear, and there was perfectly good reason to have FEAR but There was none...


Hence Paul was like a David...in His day per repenting always even as David Psalm 51:7-17

⁷ Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
⁸ MAKE ME to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
⁹ Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
¹⁰ CREATE IN ME A ((( CLEAN HEART ))), O God; and RENEW A ((( RIGHT SPIRIT ))) WITHIN ME.
¹¹ Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
¹² Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
¹³ THEN WILL I TEACH TRANGRESSORS THY WAYS; AND SINNERS SHALL BE CONVERTED UNTO THEE.
¹⁴ Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
¹⁵ O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
¹⁶ For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.


*It was not intended, for I highlighted as I read...and then looked again an it was a so...ALWAY strive to OBEY and REVERENCE Him...halt NOT AT Jesus Christ but man and things of this world ONLY...

SEEK JESUS CHRIST And go to church and do AS ACTS 2. Tthere is NO OTHER way for any other way is DESTRUCTION to a Burning hell...JOHN 10 any other way is a THIEF and A ROBBER...if the SACRIFICE is NOT OFFERED AT THE DOOR YOU are a thief and a ROBBER...YOU CANT GET IT ANY OTHER WAY...Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY...THERE IS NO OTHER WAY and go to HIS HOUSE to GET IT...

I am drawn back as when Christ was riding upon a Donkey...(a Mule if you Please)

God is always showing the humility lows, then years later He shows the Royal Highs
Matthew 21:1-11
And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
² Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
³ And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
⁴ All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
⁵ Tell ye the Daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, MEEK, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

NOTE: This is in conjunction with Matthew 11:28-30   Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am MEEK and LOWLY IN HEARTt: and ye shall find REST unto your SOULS.
³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  AND  then 11:1-6 Verses And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
² Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
³ And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
⁴ Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
⁵ The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and THE POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.
⁶ And BLESSED IS HE, WHOSOEVER SHALL NOT BE OFFENDED IN ME.
Now. Think. THE POOR have the GOSPEL preached to them...that was a big deal, for the poor were disregarded among the Pharisees, Sadducees, and the Scribes...It was so THAT HE WANTED TO BE SURE AND LET 'JOHN the BAPTIST' know that the POOR has the GOSPEL preached to THEM...Hence, the DONKEY...right in front of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Scribes faces...defying the way they thought...IT IS indeed in reverence to His comparison of the STARS to the Sand of the SEA for such is as dust, but the STAR IS BRIGHT And Gives a Mystery to Ponder... It is wise to HEED to HIS WORDS and NOT MOCK for He wont always ride the DONKEY...a show of baffling confidence and gall to their faces...yet they would be offended and indeed they were...

⁶ And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
⁷ And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
⁸ And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
⁹ And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
¹⁰ And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
¹¹ And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.



NOTE: HE Receives the Praise of Hosanna, ON PALM Sunday!!! A few days later the same crowd crucifies Him...due to the Rule of the Blind Pharisees...for NONE could compare to JESUS CHRIST. Then He is off the Donkey and Works in the Temple...

¹² And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
¹³ And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

SO THE DONKEY IS A POINT and STATEMENT MADE TO THE RELIGION OF THE PHARISEES...The beauty of this is SOOOOOO obvious in HOW HE COMES back to the WORLD and before ALL on that great and terrible day the LORD returns...You know it is as the story goes, you have to crawl before you can walk...The ALMIGHTY humbled HIMSELF that LOW to REACH the LOWEST OF THE LOW and The Highest of the HIGH all at once...Indeed He does this ALL the TIME...for it is a sign of Mercy, Meekness, and Lowly of Heart...nothing High about it...except even when she was expecting Mary His mother rode one as well...born in a cave...yet so low again...then He rides on a MULE when He ACTUALLY receives PRAISE and Knows He is going to receive Praise...He rides it again...A stubborn mule, a sign of the world's stubbornness and so much more does it show...but it is NOT the End years later...Jesus Comes back how...does anybody have a clue for many that are reading this provided you live until such COMES as stated IN this passage of SCRIPTURE...HE IS COMING BACK ON A WHITE HORSE and HIS WHOLE ARMY RIDES on WHITE HORSES...THINK ABOUT THAT...FOR HE COMES BACK for JUDGEMENT AND WAR.

Revelations 19:11-20
¹¹ And I saw heaven opened, and BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE; and he that sat upon him was called FAITHFUL AND TRUE, and in RIGHTEOUSNESS he doth JUDGE and MAKE WAAAARRRRR.
¹² His eyes were as a FAME OF FIRE, and on his head were MANY CROWNS; and he had a name written, THAT NO MAN KNEW, but he himself.
¹³ And he was clothed with a VESTURE DIPPED in blood: and HIS NAME is called THE WORD OF GOD.
¹⁴ And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon WHITE HORSES, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN, WHITE AND CLEEEANNN.
¹⁵ And out of his mouth goeth a SHARP SWORD, that with it HE SHOULD SMITE THE NATIONS: and HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON: and he TREADETH the winepress of the FIERCENESS and WRATH OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
¹⁶ And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the SUPPER OF THE GREAT GOD;
¹⁸ THAT YE MAY EAT the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to MAKE WAR AGAINST HIM THAT SAT ON THE HORSE, AND AGAINST HIS ARMY.

NOTE: Why would HIS ARMY be Riding WHITE HORSES AS WELL...because we are made LIKE HIM and perfect in ALL HIS WAYS. Therefore all those that will conquer this world's evil by the power of the HOLY GHOST given by His death...NOW HE COMES BACK to Make WAAAARRR....and bring down the false anti-Christ...

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. THESE BOTH WERE CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE.

NOTE: V. 20 IS A PROMISE THAT WHOSOEVER WORSHIPS THE MARK OF THE BEAST THAT IS THE RESULT...THE GREAT ARMY OF WHITE HORSES....AND RAIMENT TO MATCH... NO more MULES to RIDE only the AWESOME GLORY of HIS RETURN...and PERFECT JUDGEMENT, and the BEAUTY of ALL ETERNITY...this should not offend you if you LOVE HIM...


Indeed, God had them write about  about the evil "Mark of the BEAST" almost 2000 years ago...for this happen when John was on the isle of Patmos for He was sentenced to Isolation for his faith when the Angel of the Lord appeared to Him...amazingly, it is coming true...because it is the book of TRUTH...fear not, THAT IS WHY IT IS SOOOO IMPORTANT in getting your name in the Lamb's book of life...how is the HOLY GHOST for THEY that don't have it will take the mark...because they cant buy or sale without it, and it becomes their means of living and their god...for all that will be saved will be the ones who utterly KNOW HIM and His Word...because He told us already the truth of this world and it's destiny...it is ON GOD's Timeclock...when things come true of this HOLY BIBLE that was written so so so long ago...It is indeed true...and I AM GOING TO BE in that Army for He is going to destroy All Wickedness that is why Jesus Christ said this after He stated John 3:16 ....John 3:15-18
¹⁵ That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
¹⁸ HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOOOOOT CONDEMNED: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOOOOOT IIIIISSS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED IN THE ((( NAME ))) OF THE ((( ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD ))).



NOTE: THIS IS THE SAME CHAPTER IN WHICH JESUS SAYS IN VERSES 3 & 5 TO BE BORN AGAIN OR ELSE, THAT HE STATES 3:16, AND HE ALSO CLARIFIED IIIIFFF YOU DONT...FOR HE GOD, AND HIS WORD STANDS AND DONT LIE...3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God 

MATTHEW 22:37-38 ...THOU shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
³⁸ This is the first and great commandment.

So indeed if you do your best to heed as the commandment above...this is not a problem ACTS 2:38 for Peter and Paul, and Jesus clearly and evidently gives a new covenant to be emerged in water in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST...and the baptism of the Spirit is the EVIDENCE of Speaking in Tongues ACTS 4...that is when you know...church is needed...It was like this for about 150 years...let not Historical facts change the TRUE birth of the CHURCH...GOD DONT CHANGE, He is the SAME, Yesterday, TODAY, and Forever...So it NEVER changed but man along with satan for control and power sake changes it...and deceives millions, for they take the word away from them...so if you have NOT received the Holy Ghost since you believed...you are not yet in the Lamb's book of Life...that is Bible...seek His Kingdom and Repent and turn away from Wickedness for NO wickedness will enter in...He is a just God and His Mercy and GRACE will TEACH you and Uphold you...it is for those that are true and do their best to know Him for He Hath NO GREATER Love that He would come down AND GIVE HIS LIVE FOR THE SHEEP... AND do all kinds of things in lowly manners such as ride a mule instead of an Arabian White Horse...but a mule to reach the lowly and poor...which the Pharisees etc didn't even regard...but even His Royal Law of the Old Testament regarded them in Love...hence it was the Royal Law of Royal Love, hence He came and Made a New Covenant...but the Gospel was and is meant to be preached and OBEYED...Jesus Christ is the best thing that happened to this world...Jesus Christ is a Just God but when He comes back on that White Horse with His Bride from the Heavens, not from the center of Heat of the earth...I have to go, because He loved me enough that He died for me...and still does wonders and far more for all...there is no excuse, because He already told You there is NONE beside Him...It is His Heaven and His Host and He is the JUDGE and HE will JUDGE according to HIS WORD...YES ACCORDING TO HIS WORDS ...where will you be when this day comes?



  

Esther? ...an Orphan raised by Her Cousin...but she would be far better than Methuselah for He just lived...

So You of the YOUNG called for the Story of Esther...

Esther went from being and Orphan to being a Queen, and to Protect the Children of Israel...and risked her life for it...

Esther 1
Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)
² That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
³ In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:
⁴ When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days. (180 days)
⁵ And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;
⁶ Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.
⁷ And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.
⁸ And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.
⁹ Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
¹⁰ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
¹¹ To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
¹² But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
¹³ Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment:
¹⁴ And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king's face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)
¹⁵ What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
¹⁶ And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
¹⁷ For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
¹⁸ Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
¹⁹ If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
²⁰ And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
²¹ And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
²² For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.

Chapter 2

2 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

² Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
³ And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:
⁴ And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
⁵ Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
⁶ Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
⁷ And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
⁸ So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
⁹ And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he SPEEDILY  gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.

NOTE: The KING NEW NOT that she was a Jew, nor anything of her nationality...She kept it hid from him...until the appointed time.

¹⁰ Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.
¹¹ And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.
¹² Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)
¹³ Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.
¹⁴ In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, EXCEPT THE KING DELIGHTED IN HER, and THAT SHE WERE CALLED BY NAME.
¹⁵ Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of ALL them that looked upon her.
¹⁶ So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. (7TH YEAR OF THE KINGS REIGN AND THE 10TH MONTH ESTHER MEETS THE KING)
¹⁷ And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than ALL the virgins; SO THAT he set the ROYAL CROWN UPON HER HEAD, and MADE HER QUEEN instead of Vashti.
¹⁸ Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.
¹⁹ And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king's gate.

NOTE: Esther still had not let her kindred be known that she is an Jew.

²⁰ Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.
²¹ In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
²² And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name.
²³ And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.

Chapter 3
After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

NOTE: REMEMBER Haman...

² And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. BUT MORDECAI BOWED NOT, NOR DID HIM REVERENCE.
³ Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?

NOTE: God is testing Mordecai's faith and obedience to HIS COMMANDMENTS...he is being tried.

⁴ Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
⁵ And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, THEN WAS HAMAN FULL OF WRATH.

NOTE: Due to Haman's gall and it shows it to be gall for he didn't just want to slay Mordecai but all of HIS family, AND THEIR NATIONALITY.

⁶ And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
⁷ In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
⁸ And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.
⁹ If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
¹⁰ And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
¹¹ And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.

NOTE: HAMAN is not aware yet that the NOW Queen Esther is a JEW of this people whom Haman wants to slay.

¹² Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.
¹³ And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, ALL JEWS, both YOUNG AND OLD, LITTLE CHILDREN AND WOMEN, IN ONE DAY, even upon the THIRTEENTH DAY OF THE TWELFTH MONTH, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

NOTE: THE DATE WAS EVEN GIVEN TO BE ON THAT DAY ALL IN ONE DAY.

¹⁴ The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
¹⁵ The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.

NOTE: Esther had NOT YET learned of the DECREE to slay ALL her PEOPLE.

Chapter 4
When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
² And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
³ And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

NOTE: All Jews called a prayer meeting, and CRIED OUT TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD...FOR THEIR LIFE'S SAKE.
⁴ So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly GRIEVED; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.
⁵ Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
⁶ So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.
⁷ And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

NOTE: ONLY NOW does ESTHER let her kindred be KNOWN...AND HER TRYING AND TESTING STARTS AT THIS POINT.

⁸ Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and TO CHARGE her that she should go in unto the king, to MAKE SUPPLICATION UNTO HIM, and TO MAKE REQUEST BEFORE HIM FOR HER PEOPLE.
⁹ And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
¹⁰ Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;
¹¹ All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, THAT WHOSOEVER, WHETHER MAN OR WOMAN, SHALL COME UNOT THE KING INTO THE INNER COURT, WHO IS NOT CALLED, THERE IS ONE LAW OF HIS TO PUT HIM TO DEATH, EXCEPT SUCH TO WHOM THE KING SHALL HOLD OUT THE GOLDEN SCEPTRE, THAT HE MAY LIVE: BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN CALLED TO COME IN UNTO THE KING THESE THIRTY DAYS.
¹² And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
¹³ Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
¹⁴ For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, THEN shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from ANOTHER PLACE; BUT THOU AND THY FATHER'S HOUSE SHALL BE DESTROYED: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
¹⁵ Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,

NOTE: ESTHER HAD TO BE VERY STRONG AND RISK HER LIFE DUE TO THE TIME, AND SUCH AS THE CIRCUMSECT IS AT THIS TIMING AND MORE...SO SHE IS BEING TRIED OF HER ORIGIN...WILL SHE STAND AND BE STRONG OR BE WEAK...ESTHER IS A QUEEN HER CONVICTIONS AND HEART WILL NOT LET THEM PERISH....SO she CALLS AND DOES AS SO...

¹⁶ Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and FAST YE FOR ME, and NEITHER EAT NOR DRINK THREE DAYS, NIGHT OR DAY: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, WHICH IS NOT ACCORDING TO THE LAW: and IF I PERISH, I PERISH.

NOTE: ESTHER STANDS, AND APPROACHES AND MAKES THE DECISION TO DO THIS DESPITE HER LIFE...FOR SHE WAS WELL TRAINED OF THE LORD'S COMMANDMENTS AND TRUSTED IN GOD'S DETERMINATION OF THE MATTER...IF SHE WERE TO DIE IT WOULD BE THE LORD'S WILL, OR IF SHE WERE TO LIVE...SHE WOULD TRUST IN HER LORD GOD...FOR HER PEOPLE'S SAKE AND STAND IN THE PLACE OF THEM, TO SLAY HER FIRST THEN HER PEOPLE...IS WHERE THIS DECREE HAD PLACED HER....ALLLL BECAUSE OF MORDECAI, HER COUSIN, NOT REVERENCING HAMAN...BUT WORD TO THE WISE ESTHER IS THE LORD'S ANOINTED...HAMAN IS IGNORANT OF THIS FACT BY A LAND SLIDE...Plus SHE calls for them to fast and pray...which the JEWS bear together this burden but they fast and pray GOD BE WITH her in her approach that COULD TAKE HER VERY LIFE.

¹⁷ So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

Chapter 5
Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
² And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
³ Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
⁴ And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
⁵ Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
⁶ And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
⁷ Then answered Esther, and said, MY PETITION AND MY REQUEST IS;
⁸ If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.
⁹ Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: BUT  when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, HE WAS FULL OF INDIGNATION AGAINST MORDECAI.
¹⁰ Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
¹¹ And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

NOTE: HAMAN HAS NO CLUE, WHAT IS ABOUT TO TRANSPIRE...FOR THIS KING Ahasuerus WAS QUITE THE HERO AND GENTLEMAN TO THE CRY OF SUCH AS ESTHER WAS TO HIM...LOVE BEYOND ALL POWER

¹² Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.
¹³ Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
¹⁴ Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

NOTE: Haman listens to His WIFE and has the GALLOWS prepared for Mordecai...now this is because Mordecai DOES NOT BOW TO HAMAN OR SUCH THE LIKE...NO EVIL IS DONE...JUST BECAUSE OF THIS FACT...HIS EGO OR PRIDE IS HURT...SO HAMAN WANTS TO SLAY HIM...HONESTLY MORDECAI WAS IN THE WILL OF THE LORD, AND ESTHER WAS GREATLY FAVORED OF THE LORD...BUT HAMAN WAS NEVER FAVORED...AS YOU WILL SEE...

Chapter 6
On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
² And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
³ And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
⁴ And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
⁵ And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
⁶ So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?

NOTE: HAMAN IS SO EGOSTISTICAL THAT HE 'THINKS' THE KING IS WANTING TO HONOR HIM...THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL "JEHOVEHNISSI'S HIGGAION OF PSALM 9, WHICH THE NET THE ENEMY LIES AND SETS UP FOR HIS CHOSEN, TO BE FLIPPED ON THE ENEMIES HEAD"...FOR GOD'S HARP PLAYS AS HE PLOTS THIS VERY FACT WHICH IS GOD'S HIGGAION...pronounced (Hig gashun) "The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the WICKED IS SNARED IN THE WORK OF HIS OWN HANDS. HIGGAION. Selah." ~ Psalm 9:16

⁷ And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
⁸ Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
⁹ And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
¹⁰ Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and DO EVEN SO TO MORDECAI THE JEW, THAT SITTETH AT THE KING'S GATE: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.

NOTE: Haman is now having to PROMOTE and ARRAY  Mordecai, NOW Haman is wanting to slay all the jews, over this one man which a goodly natured man...and RUNS with the commandments of the LORD...and TRUST in HIS NAME. Even though Mordecai didn't know it would be this Name but He is the SAME...for "BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS I AM" Jesus Christ had not yet been revealed, for  as stated in John 12:45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. So He is the FATHER, and Jesus CHRIST is HIS NAME....He trusted IN THE NAME of the LORD...SEE

¹¹ Then TOOK HAMAN the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
¹² And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
¹³ And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
¹⁴ And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.

NOTE: THE NET WHICH HAMAN LAID, IS A SNARE TO HIMSELF...INSTEAD OF MORDECAI AND ALL THE JEWS...GOD'S HIGGAION PER PSALM 9...THE HARP IS GOD'S FAVORITE INSTRUMENT...AND IT IS THE OLDEST OF ALL INSTRUMENTS...

Chapter 7
So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
² And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
³ Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
⁴ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.

NOTE: SHE STOOD UP FOR HER PEOPLE, WHOM WERE GOD'S PEOPLE, FOR THIS SHE KNEW...PER GENESIS 12:3 ~And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
⁵ Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
⁶ And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
⁷ AND THE KING ARISING FROM THE BANQUET OF WINE IN HIS WRATH WENT INTO THE PALACE GARDEN: AND HAMAN STOOD UP TO MAKE REQUEST FOR HIS LIFE TO ESTHER THE QUEEN; FOR HE SAW THAT THERE WAS EVIL DETERMINED AGAINST HIM BY THE KING. 
⁸ Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, WILL HE FORCE THE QUEEN ALSO BEFORE ME IN THE HOUSE? AS THE WORD WENT OUT OF THE KING'S MOUTH, THEY COVERED HAMAN'S FACE.
⁹ And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
¹⁰ So THEY HANGED HAMAN on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

NOTE: GOD'S HIGGAION. SELAH

Chapter 8
On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

NOTE: QUEEN ESTHER IS GIVEN HAMAN'S VERY HOUSE, AND MORDECAI IS PROMOTED IN HAMAN'S PLACE...JUST LIKE GOD...FOR PROMOTION COMES FROM GOD... SEE...HAMAN'S IGNORANCE COST HIM HIS LIFE.

² And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
³ And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
⁴ Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
⁵ And said, If it please the king, and if I have favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:
⁶ For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
⁷ Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
⁸ Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.
⁹ Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
¹⁰ And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus' name, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
¹¹ Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
¹² Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
¹³ The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
¹⁴ So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
¹⁵ And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
¹⁶ The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
¹⁷ And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.

NOTE: THE DECREE HAD BEEN REVERSED.

Chapter 9
Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
² The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
³ And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
⁴ For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
⁵ Thus the Jews SMOTE ALL THEIR ENEMIES WITH A STROKE OF THE SWORD, AND SLAUGHTER, AND DESTRUCTION, AND DID WHAT THEY WOULD UNTO THOSE THAT HATED THEM.
⁶ And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
⁷ And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
⁸ And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
⁹ And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
¹⁰ The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
¹¹ On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
¹² And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
¹³ Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
¹⁴ And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
¹⁵ For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
¹⁶ But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
¹⁷ On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
¹⁸ But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
¹⁹ Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
²⁰ And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
²¹ To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
²² As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
²³ And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
²⁴ Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
²⁵ But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
²⁶ Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
²⁷ The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
²⁸ And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
²⁹ Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
³⁰ And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
³¹ To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, THE MATTERS OF THE FASTINGS, AND THEIR CRY.
³² And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.

THAT MY DEAR IS THE STORY OF 'QUEEN ESTHER'...THERE YOU GO...SHE STOOD UP, THOUGH SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BUT THE KING'S HEART WAS INDEED GOOD AND NOT CORRUPT...


See Esther TRUSTED IN GOD, SHE OBEYED for Mordecai was her Parent and She reverenced and OBEYED him. She saved her people from being slaughtered from a form of Hitler, the devil if you please for Haman was a very wicked man, then all HIS SON's died as a result of HIS wickedness...but the Jews slew their enemies, instead of them be slain...so God's Glory in TRUSTING HIM...is indeed a GREAT THING...for it is as Psalm 35 as in whole, and particularly verses 1-8 ...For Mordecai's and Queen Esther's and ALL the JEWS fasting and crying prayers were heard before the Almighty God...and did so as this to the WICKED HAMAN.
Psalm 35:1-8
 PLEAD MY CAUSE, O Lord, with them that strive with me: FIGHT AGAISNT THEM THAT FIGHT AGAINST ME.


NOTE: ALL THE JEWS THAT FASTED WITH ESTHER FOR 3 DAYS AND NIGHTS...THEY WERE STRIVING WITH ESTHER, AND ALL THAT FAUGHT AGAINST HER, WELL IT IS AS VERSE 8...INDEED...IT IS AS THIS...PSALM 103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. ² Bless the Lord, O my soul, and FORGET NOT ALLLLL HIS BENEFITS: ...FOR HE WILL PERFECT ALL CONCERNING YOU...PER PSALM 138:8.  Be very wise of this fact...for even all that is gossiped about you WILL HE PERFECT...and CORRECT if it be WRONG because it says ALL CONCERNING YOU that MEANS all LEVELS and realms...to the utter parts of you and which you are or were....

² Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
³ Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

NOTE: The plotting and beauty of the LORD's Orders of His Higgaion Meditation.

⁴ Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
⁵ Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
⁶ Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
⁷ For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
⁸ Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
⁹ AND MY SOUL SHALL BE JOYFUL IN THE LORD: IT SHALL REJOICE IN HIS SALVATION.


Why did I compare her to Methuselah?
He just lived, he did nothing like Abraham or Noah, though he was the son of Enoch he just lived for 969 years and has nothing magnificent that he did for the Lord...such as all the great people of faith...like Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and I feel should have been as King David, or an Esther something to reverence and expansion of FAITH in which God would honor and be proud to honor in His book...only his name is mentioned in all those years...go beyond the expected means and reach out in faith to the living God...like Esther, Mary the mother of Jesus, Peter, and Paul, they changed the world and expounded peoples faith...

Why I do this cause i'm delighting myself in the Lord...its a form of it...plus if I don't I am miserable, the call is unrelenting like no one can possibly understand unless they have it on them as well...the beauty of obedience to the call is a blessing to Honor my LORD JESUS CHRIST in truth and in pureness of my heart...I feel He loves it for HE LOVES HIS WORD...but now you have been shown His works of Higgaion...It is only mentioned once in the bible it is a good thing coming from God...for it is unbelievably done so graceful and mind blowing...at the beauty of His Hand...I stand in awe at His Glory...always...He blesses all good...

I hope you understand for I prayed you will understand only read the KJV...if you don't understand it pray you do understand it...because it is the ONE THAT is BLESSED of all versions. KJV is the BLESSED one.
