Esther 8:1-8 ~ sealed with the King's Only Son and cannot be revoked

 

Esther, painted by Alma Tadema





Esther 8:1-8


  On that day King Ahasuerus gave to Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told what he was to her. 2 And the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.


3 Then Esther spoke again to the king. She fell at his feet and wept and pleaded with him to avert the evil plan of Haman the Agagite and the plot that he had devised against the Jews. 4 When the king held out the golden scepter to Esther, Esther rose and stood before the king. 5 And she said, “If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and if the thing seems right before the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let an order be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king. 6 For how can I bear to see the calamity that is coming to my people? Or how can I bear to see the destruction of my kindred?” 7 Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he intended to lay hands on the Jews. 8 But you may write as you please with regard to the Jews, in the name of the king, and seal it with the king's ring, for an edict written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's ring cannot be revoked.”



Assuming that Ahasuerus is Xerxes I, the events in Esther began around the years 483–482 BC, and concluded in March 473 BC.

Good News. God had Triumphed again. In an unusual fashion.  


The 1956 movie, The King and I   could have been a fanciful account of Esther. Telling God, we are going to exclude the part about being forced into a Harem. God tells the Story more like we could believe in History. And with a better ending for all. God is God

Although, Rogers and Hammerstein is quite lovely.


And then we have the movie "The 300" in 2006. Xerxes looks a bit Bob Uber, a bit outside.

Xerxes in History is more like the one on the right (not the left, movie version):


The Tomb of Xerxes is below.


And rather oddly,
The movie "300" 
King Leonidas of Sparta (Gerard Butler) looks like the real Xerxes. Odddd.
Whereas Xerxes looks Like Aquaman goes sm



Esther probably wouldn't like the movie "300" and, considering Xerxes was a hero, 
who could blame her. The Tomb of Esther is still revered.


What would Esther have looked like, seemed like, seeing the movie "300"?


Which takes us a hop skip and real reality jump to Winston Churchill's Quote;

'History will be kind to me. For I intend to write it."



Do we intend to look at the flaws and glory of History?  Of the Scriptures?
For many years, regimes cleaned history. And then went down and history was uncleaned.
Would we want to live in the Hollywood world of History? Usually, the real Histories are much more interesting and involve conflict we will know in our lifetimes. 

It's rather sad to watch to see real History replaced with the same old tired themes of sex. Real History is much more interesting. And teaches us all endurance, wisdom and courage. 


Matthew 22:29 Jesus taught

Know the Scripture, Know the Power of God

29 But Jesus answered them, 

“You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures
 nor the power of God. 

30 For in the resurrection 
they neither marry nor are given in marriage,
 but are like angels in Heaven.


Living in the Honest Truth 
is far preferable for wisdom, hope, faith and Love.

Pleasing to the Lord God
our Father,
His Son Jesus Christ
and 
The Holy Spirit.


Evidently, we have been praying. And keeping The Lord, our Father, very busy.















Abba, Father,


Blessed Be the Name of Jesus

Thank You for hearing our prayers
and answering us
as our Father.






We pray for Florida and all those in harm's way
44 people died

using a layer of rolled asbestos and tar.
The next layer was tar and asbestos shingles.
It lasted 50 years and no damage in a F1 and F2 Tornado in 1993
in their yard  (house built 1931), years later.
Tar is enduring in roofing.


We Thank You for Technology!
We pray for the technologies
of small, portable Generators from Harbor Freight
are very affordable and we pray availability.
6 million Houstonians, 3 families, didn't use Generators wisely.
Houston Hurricane deaths came from carbon monoxide.
We pray for all Generators to be in working order.
We pray for Bloom Box Technologies to be advancing.
And for all wires to be underground and stable.
 


Matthew 13:16-17  

Blessed 
are your eyes, for they see, 
and your ears, for they hear. 
For truly, I say to you, 
many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, 
and did not see it, 
and to hear what you hear, 
and did not hear it.

Father, 
You are working
and so is Your Son, Jesus Christ.

Turn again
to the Lord.


With Your Help
We will act justly
 and to love mercy
 and to walk humbly with You, our God.


Dwell in me,
Dwell in us,
Dwell in those we Love,
Help us to seek You first.
And we will finish well, in Jesus Christ. 



Lord Jesus Christ,

Bless those working for
Post Pandemic Healing

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

The Scriptures are Father God's letter to you. He wanted you to know more, to know He loves you.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
