Purim, The Eclipse & a Window
3 Lunar Eclipses–3 years in a row in the constellation of Pisces which is the fish.
Haman, Pisces Book of Esther, the feast of Purim. Why would a fish constellation be important in all of this? Because 15 days after this, is the full solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, which passes over more than 8 cities named Nineveh in North America. Nineveh has to do with the Book of Jonah, Jonah was swallowed by a great fish for 3 days before being spit out on shore to go to Nineveh and pronounce judgment in 40 days…So the fact there is a fish constellation connected to this is no accident and connects the penumbral Eclipse of Purim and the Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024.
For 3 years in a row, God is marking the feast of Purim with Lunar Eclipses.
2024 3/24-25 Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
Penumbral Eclipse begins at 4:53 UTC on March 25, 2024. That is 11:53 p.m. CDT on March 24th in North America.
2025 3/14-15 Blood Moon-Full Lunar Eclipse.
2026 3/2-3 Blood Moon-Full Lunar Eclipse.
Let me present to you this: Chapters 1 through 10 of Esther is a template of end-time events.
Furthermore, it is a chronology of end-time events.
Throughout the Bible, there are only 2 books named after women, Ruth and Esther.
They both have similar themes.
In Ruth, there is a marriage between Boaz who is a Jew, and Ruth who is a gentile.
In Esther, you have the marriage between Esther who is a Jew, and Ahasuerus, the King, who is a gentile.
Marriage plays a very unique and crucial role in each of these accounts in order for a people to be redeemed.
In the story of Ruth, you have Naomi counseling Ruth to help bring redemption. In the Story of Esther you have Mordechai counseling Esther to help bring redemption of the Jewish people.
Both Naomi and Mordechai by the end of each book receive land=Israel
Where now we differ is Esther receives a crown, she is made queen of Persia, whereas Ruth is not elevated to royalty in that sense, HOWEVER, she becomes the great-grandmother of King David and is in the Davidic Royal Line because Ruth and Boaz had Obed who is the father of Jesse who is the father of David.
Now, in the New Testament, it speaks of God's people receiving crowns.
The Crown of Life for example:
Revelation 3:11: I am coming quickly. Hold tight what you have, so that no one will take your crown [by leading you to renounce the faith].
Revelation 12:10-12: Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom (dominion, reign) of our God, and the authority of His Christ have come; for the [e]accuser of our [believing] brothers and sisters has been thrown down [at last], he who accuses them and keeps bringing charges [of sinful behavior] against them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death(Remember This). 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them [in the presence of God]. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time [remaining]!” (This is connected to the Book of Esther as well).
Esther 2:17: Now the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the [other] virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen in the place of Vashti.
Now, we have to go back for a moment and truly understand why Vashti was deposed:
We will come back in a moment to the end-time typology within Esther, however this is important to truly understand the power struggle happening between Ahasuerus and Vashti.
Esther 1:10-12 NKJV
10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus, 11 to bring Queen Vashti before the king, wearing her royal crown, in order to show her beauty to the people and the officials, for she was beautiful to behold. 12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s command brought by his eunuchs; therefore the king was furious, and his anger burned within him.
What, exactly, was the king thinking here? I mean, It seems a bit crazy what he's doing. Putting your wife on display and inviting other men to gawk at her? It's just plain creepy. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing, not just for the woman at the center of attention, but for all the men in attendance, too. It's not a very royal, refined thing to do. Why then did the King do it? Maybe he wasn't a very refined person. Maybe he was drunk. And these are very real possibilities. Perhaps there was a method to the madness of Ahasuerus. Perhaps if we take the time to understand things from his point of view, we may well find that the king's course of action was not all that irrational after all. It was a power move.
Vashti's refusal was morally quite justifiable in Persian law. Neither a husband's nor a king's authority extends to the wanton requirement of acts that, if done, would disgrace the doer for life. Had Vashti complied, she would have lost the respect not only of the Persian nation but of the king himself. Had Ahasuerus really loved his wife, or been a man of equitable disposition, he would have excused her refusal and felt that he had deserved the rebuff. But, not really loving her, and being of a hot and unchecked temper, he was violently enraged with her, as he always was when anything fell out contrary to his wishes (see Herod., 7:11, 35, 39, etc.).
Ahasuerus, when we first meet him, is a man of war whose formidable tactics have just contributed to the formation of the Persian-Medean Empire, now an impressive 127 provinces in size. In the wake of this massive expansion, there is a power struggle for control of the new empire. Ahasuerus’ military successes render him a plausible candidate for ruler.
But someone else had a more legitimate claim to that throne. The new Persian-Median empire succeeds the old Persian Empire which had recently been ruled by Belshazzar, who is familiar to us from the Book of Daniel. Belshazzar’s surviving heir is his granddaughter, Vashti. Both Megillah 10b and Esther Rabbah Peticha 11 (This is the Midrash, the commentary by rabbis on the book of Esther) identifies Vashti as the granddaughter of Belshazzar which, incidentally, makes her also the great-great granddaughter of Nebuchadnezzar himself — the evil Assyrian king who destroyed the first Temple and sent the Jews into exile. Nebuchadnezzar who threw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire…Yup that Guy.
Midrash and Aggadah (rabbinic story-telling) explain how the beautiful young Vashti was spared by Darius the Mede on the night when Daniel read the proverbial “writing on the wall” (Daniel 5) and predicted the assassination of the corrupt King Belshazzar (her grandfather) by Medean spies. Darius used little Vashti to cement his own legacy by marrying her to one of his most faithful vassals, a promising young military man named Ahasuerus. But Xerxes, as his Greek enemies called him, was a better leader in wartime than in peace, and he bitterly resented his role as the queen’s consort. Unused as he was to domestic matters, he plotted to wrest control of the state away from his royal wife and consolidate all matters into his control.
So now knowing this backstory makes Queen Vashti defying the command of the king much more understandable because she knew him, and she knew what he was trying to do at her expense.
Like Haman, Vashti descends from an enemy of the Jews, but like Esther, she is an orphan God protects. So Vashti has a little bit of Haman and a little bit of Esther in her. Also, Haman would have most likely been able to sway Vashti to destroy the Jews being the line of royalty she comes from; the Jews are captives and slaves to her, not her people. The Lord needed someone as Queen who identified with the Jews as HER people.
Also, look at the Scripture Carefully. Vashti was expected to appear with just her royal crown:
According to the Midrash, Vashti refused to attend the party because she was expected to be fully naked. After negotiating unsuccessfully, Vashti tried to explain why it would reflect badly on King Ahasuerus for her to attend. There was also Persian law pertaining to this that other men were not to look this way on another man's wife.
So here is The King over 127 (which if added equals the number 10, this is important) provinces completely humiliated because the queen defied him and a direct command that he had given. Queen Vashti’s behavior was the beginning of third-wave feminism at that time, she disobeyed, and she dishonored the King. However had she obeyed it would have dishonored her. So, King Ahasuerus gets so infuriated because he looks like a fool in front of all the province heads (and in a way kind of brought this on himself). He removes Vashti as Queen and banishes her. Because of this huge scandal, this is the type of scandal that would be on the front of every kind of People magazine, Daily Mail, Sun, and National Enquirer–a headline like THE ROYAL FAMILY DIVED, THE QUEEN DEFIES AND IS DETHRONED (sound familiar). The position of Queen is now open. This is no accident. God is working behind the scenes. His name is Hidden because He is working all things together for good for the Jewish people, his firstborn, to save them. KEY: God’s name is so hidden because it’s such a high revelation! Even if Esther is incredibly intelligent and beautiful, it still could not have happened without the hand of God what's about to take place. The earth is the Lord’s footstool, and He is in charge is the moral of the story, meaning the Lord does what he pleases and uses WHOM he pleases to work things together for the good of His people.
Ok now understanding this let's look at the account of Esther through a different lens.
The Story of Esther is a typology of Jesus Christ.
The groom-King Ahasuerus (gentile)-King of Kings (Jew) (Zechariah 14:9)(Daniel 7:14).
Another interesting way King Ahasuerus is tied to a depiction of Christ is that His name means Lion King and Jesus himself is called the Lion of Judah. Also, Persian kings had a long title: During the Achaemenid Dynasty, the title of a Persian monarch was not plain king except in short. The full title was something like “The Great King, The King of Kings, The King of Lands and Peoples, The King of the World”.Artaxšaça. The former means “he who rules over/among heroes,” while the latter means “he whose rule is through truth.”
So we have The King of Kings, the Lion King.
The bride-Ruth (gentile)-Esther (Jew)-the body of Christ.
Galatians 3:28: There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority].
Colossians 3:11: a renewal in which there is no [distinction between] Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, [nor between nations whether] [a]barbarian or [b]Scythian, [nor in status whether] slave or free, but Christ is all, and in all [so believers are equal in Christ, without distinction].
The covenant-Mordechai (nation of Israel)- Naomi in the Book of Ruth also represents the nation of Israel. King David (whose great-grandparents were Ruth and Boaz.
Jeremiah 30:8-9: ‘It shall come about on that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will break the yoke off your neck and I will tear off your bonds and force apart your shackles; and strangers will no longer make slaves of the people [of Israel]. 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and [the descendant of] David their King, whom I will raise up for them.
Ezekiel 37:24-28: 24 “[a]My servant David will be king over them, and they all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them. 25 They will live in the land where your fathers lived, [the land] that I gave to My servant Jacob, and they will live there, they and their children and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David will be their leader forever. 26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply them, and will put My sanctuary in their midst forever. 27 My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. 28 Then the nations will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord who sets apart and sanctifies Israel [for holy use], when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.”’”
However, King David's aspect is tied to Mordecai as well.
David is a prince and Jesus God over them.
Isaiah 9:7: There shall be no end to the increase of His government and of peace,
[He shall rule] on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From that time forward and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
Christ orders His kingdom, David King of Israel.
Esther 10:2-3 King Ahasuerus is a representation of Christ.
And all the accomplishments of his authority and strength, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia? 3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and in favor with his many fellow people, for he worked for the good of his people and spoke for the welfare and peace of his whole nation.
Mordecai was made second in command to the king of Kings (remember this is one of Ahasuerus’s titles) like David is going to be king over Israel and Jesus the king of Kings
Now, that this groundwork has been laid we go back to the beginning of Esther.
In Esther chapter 1, we are introduced to King Ahasuerus (who represents Jesus) and the Jew gentile connection.
Queen Vashti is introduced and she represents an Israel that rejects Christ, why because she rejects King Ahasuerus when he calls for her to come wearing her crown. The Jews' full rejection of Jesus takes place around the crucifixion of Jesus.
This would also represent the end of the 69th week of Daniel’s prophecy (the 70th week of prophecy).
Esther Chapter 2: We are introduced to Esther the bride of Christ because King Ahasuerus is a representation of Christ the king.
Esther 2:17: Now the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the [other] virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen in the place of Vashti. 18 Then the king held a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and his servants; and he made a [f]festival for the provinces and gave gifts in accordance with the resources of the king.
This foreshadows the marriage supper of the lamb:
Revelation 19:9-10: Then the angel said to me, “Write, ‘[d]Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the [e]Lamb.’” And he said to me [further], “These are the true and exact words of God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he [stopped me and] said to me, “You must not do that; I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who have and hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God [alone]. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy [His life and teaching are the heart of prophecy].”
Chapter 3: We are introduced to Haman who represents the antichrist, who wants to take Christ's seat. Remember King Ahasuerus represents Christ, Haman was coming up the ranks and planning a coup to become king himself.
Esther 3:1-2
After these things, King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him. 2 And all the king’s servants who were within the king’s gate bowed and paid homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage.
Here is the question with Mordecai, why won’t this man bow to Haman?
Haman was elevated to viceroy 2nd in command of the king. It appears, keyword, there is a decree issued that all servants were to bow to Haman when he passes in the streets. However, Mordecai REFUSES to bow to Haman, there is a major clue in this! Why does Mordecai do this, why risk your life just to thumb your nose at Haman? Could it be that bowing down is idolatry and Mordecai is standing up for his faith and the commandment, do not worship other gods? Does the Torah consider it idolatry? The Torah is full of examples of humans bowing before another human as an example–Abraham bowed? It’s a way of showing respect in that time of history. And we do not hear anything about the supposed idol around Haman’s neck-the Midrash reported? The book of Esther, however, does not state this in detail. You see Haman gave that decree because Haman REALLY wanted to be King. Haman was systematically and methodically planning to take the position of King from Ahasuerus and stage a coup. Mordecai would not bow because Mordecai discerned this and his loyalty was to God first and King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) second, Haman was not the KING THEREFORE Mordecai would not take part in this exercise. Central to the book is a decree of genocide formed by Haman that Mordecai helped to stop. He was an instrument of Almighty God. The only reason Haman made the decree is because Mordecai refuses to bow to him because Mordecai knew it was a deception, a false decree!! He discerned that Haman was laying the groundwork to take the crown for himself!! So he begins to want to annihilate opponents who would stand in the way of such a political move. DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR FOR WHAT IS GOING ON IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW???
Chapter 3 begins Daniel's 70th week which means chapter 2 would potentially represent the rapture of the church. Why? Esther represents God’s people and she is hidden away in the palace. Her identity is HIDDEN as a Jew. As Haman begins his rampage of destruction, Esther is Hidden and protected.
Chapters 3 through chapter 9 of Esther is Daniel's 70th week.
Esther 3:7 In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.
The month of Nisan is when Pharaoh went to kill the Jews who left Egypt and went through the Red Sea on Nissan 19 and was Nissan 19 when Adolf Hitler was born.
Nisan is March through April on the Gregorian calendar.
Nisan 1 this year begins April 8th at Sundown, the same day as the full Solar Eclipse whose path of totality is Eagle pass Texas and passes over more than 8 cities named Nineveh in North America.
So the first day of the ecclesiastical year on the Jewish calendar happens just happens to coincide with This full Solar Eclipse.
Now Where is the hint to Esther in the 5 books of Moses, being Esther lived so long after these 5 books were written? Where is the hint to Esther, Haman, and Mordecai in the Torah? If God has seen all of it, the beginning, the end, then the Torah would have Hinted at this.
Haman, the hint of Haman according to the sages, comes from the story of the tree of the knowledge of the good of evil. They find a word that is similar in spelling.
Hey mem nun appearance in Genesis 3 is a hint to the hey mem nun to Haman in the Torah. The verse pointed to is after Adam has eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 3:11: God says Hamin ha’eitz “have you eaten from the tree I have commanded you not to eat from” hey mem nun. When you think about this Haman is an evil individual plotting genocide, and well Adam, we do not think of him as such a bad guy, he eats from the tree that’s not such a good thing, but it’s not like he’s plotting genocide. So why this comparison which seems a bit shocking, puzzling even? What are the sages (Jewish philosophers, wise men) trying to say about the Book of Esther? Here is the way it went: Haman has everything–a powerful position with the king, riches, wealth, and the one thing he cannot have is Mordecai, killing Mordecai for refusing to bow. Mordecai is the forbidden fruit, the fruit Haman is NOT supposed to touch. Adam had everything in the garden and the one thing he could not have was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. EVE is the one who deceives Adam into eating from the tree, likewise, Zeresh, Haman's wife, convinces him to hang Mordecai and kill him in Esther 5:14, encouraging him to build a gallows 50 cubits high. The tree and gallows are from the same word in Hebrew.
Esther 5:14
Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows[a] be made, [b]fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet.”
And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.
They want to hang Mordecai on a 50-cubit gallows, a 50-cubit tree. 50 the number of the Jubilee, where the captives are set free and what is stolen is returned. Haman is the thief, attempting to steal the crown and kill and destroy the Jewish people.
This coincides with the Antichrist and Daniel’s 70th week because remember Ahasuerus represents the King of Kings, Mordechai and Esther represent the people of God and Israel. What is the forbidden fruit for the antichrist? He wants to set himself up as the king of Kings in the temple, he wants to establish himself in the seat of the One who has the true knowledge to judge Good from Evil, The Righteous Judge and King Almighty God, and Haman wants to kill those who are opposed and will not bow and serve him.
How long does Esther fast for 3 days after that 3 days fast is completed it is a half a day later she puts on her royal robes and goes into the king's chamber.
Esther 4:8-15: 8 Mordecai also gave him a copy of the text of the decree which had been issued in Susa for the Jews's destruction, so that he might show Esther and explain it to her, and order her to go into the king to seek his favor and plead with him for [the lives of] her people. 9 Hathach came back and told Esther what Mordecai had said. 10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and ordered him to reply to Mordecai, saying: 11 “All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court without being summoned, he has but one law, that he is to be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And as for me, I have not been summoned to come to the king for these [last] thirty days.” 12 So they told Mordecai what Esther had said. 13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not imagine that you in the king’s palace can escape any more than all the Jews. 14 For if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish [since you did not help when you had the chance]. And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this very purpose]?”
Esther Plans to Intercede
15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16 “Go, gather all the Jews that are present in Susa, and observe a fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids also will fast in the same way. Then I will go in to [see] the king [without being summoned], which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.” 17 So Mordecai went away and did exactly as Esther had commanded him.
Esther 5:1-4
On the third day [of the fast] Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace opposite his [throne] room. The king was sitting on his royal throne, facing the [main] entrance of the palace. 2 When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she found favor in his sight; and the king extended to her the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter. 3 Then the king said to her, “What is troubling you, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you, [a]up to half of the kingdom.” 4 Esther said, “If it pleases the king, may the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
She could have exposed the whole plot here! She doesn’t! She invites the King to a banquet, remember the King has not called her in 30 days. She needs that emotional connection of spending time with the King to make her plea.
This is the virtual living and walking out of Psalm 23:4-5.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Thy Rod and Thy Staff, what does the King extend that scepter that staff that protects her life.
It is in chapter 5 that Haman has the gallows built 50 cubits high. 50 the jubilee, the land is given back to God's people.
Esther 6
It is after this banquet the first banquet the King cannot sleep, as Esther has invited them to a second banquet and only then will she make her request known. Haman leaves joyful thinking he has EVERYTHING IN THE BAG. That night the king cannot sleep, he cannot sleep after what has transpired with Esther appearing suddenly in his court, the extending of the gold scepter, and of anything Esther could of asked the king for, he offered up to half his kingdom, she invites the King and Haman to a banquet.
A table is being prepared before Esther, Mordechai, and the Jews in the PRESENCE of their enemies, and the presence of Haman at the banquet.
Chapter 6 begins with King Ahasuerus fighting an intentional bout of insomnia, intentional on the Lord’s part. It was out of the ordinary that he could not sleep reflects God the King of Kings does not sleep nor slumber. When a person is up vs sleeping--when a person is up everything functions normally in a normal way. While at sleep you are not in an alert state! God neither sleeps nor slumbers because He is protecting us!
Ahasuerus is a reference to God aharit-end resh-beginning so end beginning God is the end from the beginning, and beginning from end, Ahasuerus can’t sleep, the Lord cannot rest because He knows His people the Jewish people are in danger. His children are in danger. At the same time, Haman cannot sleep, by God’s design, because the Lord knows what Haman is coming to ask the king for. So, the king asks for the book of records and memorable deeds to be read to him because, truly, his spirit is being stirred by the Lord. Haman cannot sleep because he has just been convinced by Zeresh, his wife (a shadow of the temptation of Adam by Eve), to go to the king and ask for Mordecai’s head. The serpent tells Eve and Adam they will be LIKE God if they eat from the tree, that they would not die, they would be like God. Likewise, Haman wants to be like the King. The serpent and Antichrist are the same, they each want that slot. Mordecai is standing in the way of that. During the reading of memorable deeds, the King realizes Mordechai was never honored for uncovering the plot of the eunuchs against the King's life. It is at this PIVOTAL moment Haman enters to speak with the king about Mordechai. The king poses a question to Haman in chapter 6: what is to be done for a man the king desires to honor. So Haman, thinking it's all about him, tells the king to honor such a man by giving him a royal crown, royal robe, and a royal horse and putting the person on the horse and walking him around announcing this is what shall be done for a man the king chooses to honor. Haman wants to be LIKE the king, he wants to be THE KING.
If you were in the king's shoes, what would you think of that response by Haman? Look at those words carefully, count how many times the word "king" or "royal" appears in his statements. It's all "king"; "king"; "king." If you're Ahasuerus, and you already couldn't sleep that night because you were worried about the possibility that Haman was after your wife. Now why would that be, because Esther made an intimate dinner for 2 and an intimate dinner for 3 – and then Haman walked into your room and gave you this advice, what would you be thinking? Not only does he want my wife… he wants my job, too. He wants the crown.
NOW the King begins to recognize the evil in Haman, and the reverse happens, the King turns to Haman and says go do this for Mordecai. Now things are beginning to reverse on Haman. This is a train that cannot be stopped. Haman MUST NOW parade Mordecai through the streets being forced to HONOR the very man he wants to destroy along with his people. Haman returns home distraught and his wife Zeresh, the very one who lured him to hang Mordecai makes a very prophetic statement.
Esther 6:13
When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him.”
6+1+3=10 Haman has 10 Sons, and Nuremberg had 10 nazi officers.
This is out of Zeresh’s own mouth, something that has gone through the centuries. Those who want to destroy the Jews (annihilate them as a people), when they begin to fall in status with those aligned with them, it is the seal that signifies the destruction of those who want to be utilized by the Spirit of Antichrist and lawlessness in the nations.
I can even prove this is true with Hamas. Remember Hamas and Haman are separated by 1 letter and both are tied to Amalek and that spirit.
When Hamas wickedly did what they did on October 7th, they did not notify Iran (Persia), who was Persian?, Ahasuerus. Who was half Arab half Jewish? Haman. Hamas never informed Iran, or Persia, that they were going to go to such horrific extremes, and when they did, Iran TURNED on them and told them since they forgot to keep them in the loop on this one and come to THEM FIRST ABOUT THIS, and just went ahead with such an attack, that they are not going to help Hamas like in the Past. Hamas, Haman, began to fall in Status at that very moment. What did Zeresh say to Haman?
Esther 6:13: If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him.”
Something to think about there because this can be traced through history.
Now there is something else that goes with Daniel's 70th week and the tribulation in Esther and it happens at the second banquet.
First, let me say Esther faces two major challenges and she really has to find a way to deal with each. First, there's her "Mother Persia" liability: She is viewed as Mother Persia but she is a Jew. Should she reveal her nationality, the "girl from nowhere, the orphan" risks being seen as an imposter by the king, or even worse, a traitor. Second, above and beyond that, she has planted the suspicion of adultery, remember Haman was invited to this cozy banquet. If the first liability would make her a traitor on the national stage, the second would make her a traitor in her marriage. To some extent, Esther is battling these two liabilities as much – or more – than she is battling Haman himself.
Now, the second banquet unfolds. Esther, the king, and Haman are seated. Ahasuerus, as he did a day before, asks Esther to make her request – this time, Esther tells him what's really on her mind.
Esther 7:3-4 "If I have found favor in your eyes, oh king, and if it's good in your eyes – then give me my life as my request, and [the life of] my people as my petition. Because me and my people have been sold – to be destroyed, killed, annihilated…" ( I want to go back to sold in a moment)
The king listens to this, and he's shocked, he demands to know who it is that would dare do such a thing, to which Esther replies:
Esther 7:6 "A man who's a treacherous enemy: Haman, this evil one, that's who it is."
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one in any way deceive or entrap you, for that day will not come unless the [a]apostasy comes first [that is, the great rebellion, the abandonment of the faith by professed Christians], and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction [the Antichrist, the one who is destined to be destroyed],
So there it is: Esther finally reveals that her people, the Jews, are endangered, and she brings to light the identity of the aggressor, Haman. But go back and examine more carefully what she said. How did Esther deal with her two liabilities?
The first clue comes from the fact that Esther has not simply asked the king to spare her nation. She has asked him to spare her own life, too. Not only that, she mentions her own life first:
"…give me my life as my request, she said, and only after that, [the life of] my people…" (Esther 7:3)
You see, the news that someone is out to get his queen, that Esther's own life is threatened, makes everything she says after this pale into comparison. It's like the king doesn't even hear anything else. Only one question matters to him: "Who is this, that's trying to do this to you?"
And of course, Esther is all too happy to share:
"Haman, seated right next to you, at this cozy little banquet." See Esther Hyper focuses on the king because it’s the King’s decision that matters here, no one else in that palace or the land matters but the King in this moment.
The announcement of her national affiliation, which in any other circumstance would be breaking news in and of itself, has been Eclipsed by an even bigger headline: someone's out to kill the queen. And, of course, for Ahasuerus, it's even more personal than that: someone is out to get his wife AND also take his crown.
Esther has distracted Ahasuerus from her Mother Persia debacle which is thinking about her potentially divided national loyalties by giving him something even more compelling to think about. The woman he loves is asking him to rescue her. He has the chance to play the knight in shining armor. To be the hero! What man would not want to rise to that occasion!
Esther's claim that her life is threatened at that moment is up for debate. He didn't even know she was a Jew. No one knew she was a Jew, the king included, until now, when Esther offered that information. So yes, now that she has, of her own accord, divulged her religion and national identity, It comes to light she is threatened by Haman's blanket decree of genocide. But the threat to her own life is really something that's of her own making. The king could easily give her a pass. Esther's claim that she is imperiled, once you stop to think about it, is questionable.
Esther doesn’t want the King to stop and think she wants him to act. She wants him to remove the decree that's causing all the trouble. Esther's words lead Ahasuerus towards the hasty conclusion she wants him to arrive at:
And Ahasuerus arrives at some conclusions all right, however, I want to go back to that sold part because this has to do with the tribulation
Esther 7:3-5
Then Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me as my request, and my people as my wish; 4 for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed, and eliminated. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have kept silent, because the distress would not be sufficient reason to burden the king.” 5 King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who is he? Where is he—the man who has dared to do such a thing?”
Now in Hebrew:
"Ki nimkarnu ani v’ami” – because me and my people have been sold. Lehashmid laharog ulabed. Okay, stop right there!? she could have just cut to the chase; she could have just said, "Look!" She could have gotten into the 'Lehashmid laharog ulabed' part: "We are going to be utterly destroyed." What's the 'we have been sold' to be utterly destroyed? it's not clear that they've been actually sold, but they've been sold to be destroyed, remember 10,000 talents of silver into the Kings Treasury was offered by Haman for their destruction which is the equivalent of $161 million today – that makes it more complicated. It only goes downhill from here. She then says the following, very complicated idea because Esther was a smart shrewd woman: "V’ilu laavadim v’lishfachot nimkarnu' – and King, I just wanted you to know, that had we in fact been sold as slaves, and not been sold to be killed; so, 'hecherashti' – I probably would have kept silent and not bothered you; 'ki ein hatzar shoveh benezek hamelech'.
Where does this appear in the end-time chronology that we can line this up, remember hidden in Esther is the chronology of the end-times.
Revelation 13:15-18: 15 And he is given power to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast will even [appear to] speak, and cause those who do not bow down and worship the image of the beast to be put to death.
OK stop right there, Mordechai did not want to bow down to Haman and the IMAGE he was putting forth to view him as King, therefore Haman plotted Mordechais death.
16 Also he compels all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead [signifying allegiance to the beast], 17 and that no one will be able to buy or sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let the person who has enough insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the [imperfect] number of a man; [g]and his number is [h]six hundred and sixty-six.
What did Esther say in chapter 7: "Ki nimkarnu ani v’ami” – because me and my people have been sold.
Esther 7:4 for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed, and eliminated
They were MARKED for destruction, they were sold.
and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead [signifying allegiance to the beast], 17 and that no one will be able to buy or sell, except the one who has the mark.
Esther starts on page 777 of the Holy Bible, the earth was created in 7 days and the Esther was taken into the palace in the 7th year of Ahasuerus's reign, and the Great Tribulation is 7 years, there are references to both creation and the Great Tribulation in Esther.
Chapter 9 shows Christ's victory over the antichrist. Haman is defeated, the antichrist is defeated by the King of Kings. The Feast of Purim is established, which is the celebration of this amazing defeat of evil.
It was King Ahasuerus who issued the decree to judge Haman, King Ahasuerus is a representation of Christ, Christ gives the decree that the antichrist will now be judged.
Revelation 19:11-21: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He who was riding it is called Faithful and True (trustworthy, loyal, incorruptible, steady), and in righteousness He judges and wages war [on the rebellious nations]. 12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many royal crowns; and He has a name inscribed [on Him] which no one knows or understands except Himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in [f]blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, [dazzling] white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword (His word) with which He may strike down the nations, and He will [g]rule them with a rod of iron; and He will tread the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty [in judgment of the rebellious world]. 16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name inscribed, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Doom of the Beast and False Prophet
17 Then I saw a single angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he shouted to all the birds that fly in midheaven, saying, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may feast on the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of powerful and mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all humanity, both free men and slaves, both small and great [in a complete conquest of evil].” 19 Then I saw the beast and the kings and political leaders of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against Him who is mounted on the [white] horse and against His army. 20 And the beast (Antichrist) was seized and overpowered, and with him the false prophet who, in his presence, had performed [amazing] signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were hurled alive into the lake of fire which blazes with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds fed ravenously and gorged themselves with their flesh.
Chapter 10 is the King of Kings ruling and giving Mordecai which is a representation of King David, the number 2 role of ruling over Israel.
Esther 2:16-17
16 So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, to his royal palace in the tenth month, that is, the month of Tebeth (Dec-Jan), in the seventh year of his reign.
10th month 7th year 10 X 7=70
70 weeks
Daniel's 70 weeks once again is hidden in the Book of Esther.
Esther Becomes Queen
17 Now the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the [other] virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen in the place of Vashti. 18 Then the king held a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and his servants; and he made a [f]festival for the provinces and gave gifts in accordance with the resources of the king.
Daniel 9:27
And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of [af]abominations will come the one who [ag]makes desolate, until a complete destruction, one that is [ah]decreed, gushes forth on the one who [ai]makes desolate.”
In chapter 3 of Esther King Ahasuerus promotes Haman.
Esther 3:5-6
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, he was furious. 6 But he disdained laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were (his nationality); so Haman determined to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who lived throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
When does the antichrist break the treaty set himself up as God and unleash total destruction, halfway through these 7 years, so about 3.5 years.
Daniel 9:27
abominations will come the one who [ag]makes desolate, until a complete destruction, one that is [ah]decreed, gushes forth on the one who [ai]makes desolate.”
When does Haman break his peace with the Jews and determine destruction upon them and try to become king himself?
Esther 3:5-6
When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, he was furious. 6 But he disdained laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were (his nationality); so Haman determined to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who lived throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
It matches almost perfectly.
Great Tribulation is 7 years, the 7th year the antichrist is Destroyed. Keep in mind Ahasuerus is the King of kings, Haman is the antichrist, and Esther represents the bride of Christ or God's people.
Esther 7
So the king and Haman came to drink wine with Esther the queen. 2 And the king said to Esther on the second day also as they drank their wine, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted to you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom, it shall be done.” 3 Then Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be spared as my petition, and my people [be spared] as my request; 4 for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed and wiped out of existence. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have remained silent, for our hardship would not be sufficient to burden the king [by even mentioning it].” 5 Then King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) asked Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who dares to do such a thing?” 6 Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy is Haman, this evil man.” Then Haman became terrified before the king and queen.
Esther 7 Haman, the antichrist is exposed and destroyed. It is the 7th year of the great tribulation that the antichrist is exposed and destroyed
Haman Is Hanged
Esther 7 continued
7 Then in his fury, the king stood up from drinking wine and went into the palace garden [to decide what he should do]; but Haman stayed to plead for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm had been determined against him by the king. 8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even attempt to assault the queen with me in the palace?” As the king spoke those words, the servants covered Haman’s face [in preparation for execution]. 9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs serving the king said, “Now look, there are gallows fifty cubits (75 ft.) high standing at Haman’s house, which Haman made for Mordecai, whose good warning saved the king.” And the king said, “Hang him on it.” 10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s anger subsided.
It was the 10th month that Esther is taken into the palace, it is Esther 6:13 where Haman falls in status to Mordechai 6+1+3=10, Haman's 10 sons are also hanged, 10 chapters of Esther, , at Nuremberg, 10 nazi officers were hung.
Esther chapters 9 and 10 the Jews upon decree are able to defend themselves against any who want to do them harm.
Esther 10
King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) imposed a tax on the land and on the coastlands of the sea. 2 And all the accomplishments of his authority and strength, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia? 3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and in favor with his many fellow people, for he worked for the good of his people and spoke for the welfare and peace of his whole nation.
Haman, Pisces Book of Esther, the feast of Purim. Why would a fish constellation be important in all of this? Because 15 days after this, is the full solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, which passes over more than 8 cities named Nineveh in North America. Nineveh has to do with the Book of Jonah, Jonah was swallowed by a great fish for 3 days before being spit out on shore to go to Nineveh and pronounce judgment in 40 days…So the fact there is a fish constellation connected to this is no accident and connects the penumbral Eclipse of Purim and the Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024.
For 3 years in a row, God is marking the feast of Purim with Lunar Eclipses.
2024 3/24-25 Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
Penumbral Eclipse begins at 4:53 UTC on March 25, 2024. That is 11:53 p.m. CDT on March 24th in North America.
2025 3/14-15 Blood Moon-Full Lunar Eclipse.
2026 3/2-3 Blood Moon-Full Lunar Eclipse.
Let me present to you this: Chapters 1 through 10 of Esther is a template of end-time events.
Furthermore, it is a chronology of end-time events.
Throughout the Bible, there are only 2 books named after women, Ruth and Esther.
They both have similar themes.
In Ruth, there is a marriage between Boaz who is a Jew, and Ruth who is a gentile.
In Esther, you have the marriage between Esther who is a Jew, and Ahasuerus, the King, who is a gentile.
Marriage plays a very unique and crucial role in each of these accounts in order for a people to be redeemed.
In the story of Ruth, you have Naomi counseling Ruth to help bring redemption. In the Story of Esther you have Mordechai counseling Esther to help bring redemption of the Jewish people.
Both Naomi and Mordechai by the end of each book receive land=Israel
Where now we differ is Esther receives a crown, she is made queen of Persia, whereas Ruth is not elevated to royalty in that sense, HOWEVER, she becomes the great-grandmother of King David and is in the Davidic Royal Line because Ruth and Boaz had Obed who is the father of Jesse who is the father of David.
Now, in the New Testament, it speaks of God's people receiving crowns.
The Crown of Life for example:
Revelation 3:11: I am coming quickly. Hold tight what you have, so that no one will take your crown [by leading you to renounce the faith].
Revelation 12:10-12: Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom (dominion, reign) of our God, and the authority of His Christ have come; for the [e]accuser of our [believing] brothers and sisters has been thrown down [at last], he who accuses them and keeps bringing charges [of sinful behavior] against them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death(Remember This). 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them [in the presence of God]. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time [remaining]!” (This is connected to the Book of Esther as well).
Esther 2:17: Now the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the [other] virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen in the place of Vashti.
Now, we have to go back for a moment and truly understand why Vashti was deposed:
We will come back in a moment to the end-time typology within Esther, however this is important to truly understand the power struggle happening between Ahasuerus and Vashti.
Esther 1:10-12 NKJV
10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus, 11 to bring Queen Vashti before the king, wearing her royal crown, in order to show her beauty to the people and the officials, for she was beautiful to behold. 12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s command brought by his eunuchs; therefore the king was furious, and his anger burned within him.
What, exactly, was the king thinking here? I mean, It seems a bit crazy what he's doing. Putting your wife on display and inviting other men to gawk at her? It's just plain creepy. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing, not just for the woman at the center of attention, but for all the men in attendance, too. It's not a very royal, refined thing to do. Why then did the King do it? Maybe he wasn't a very refined person. Maybe he was drunk. And these are very real possibilities. Perhaps there was a method to the madness of Ahasuerus. Perhaps if we take the time to understand things from his point of view, we may well find that the king's course of action was not all that irrational after all. It was a power move.
Vashti's refusal was morally quite justifiable in Persian law. Neither a husband's nor a king's authority extends to the wanton requirement of acts that, if done, would disgrace the doer for life. Had Vashti complied, she would have lost the respect not only of the Persian nation but of the king himself. Had Ahasuerus really loved his wife, or been a man of equitable disposition, he would have excused her refusal and felt that he had deserved the rebuff. But, not really loving her, and being of a hot and unchecked temper, he was violently enraged with her, as he always was when anything fell out contrary to his wishes (see Herod., 7:11, 35, 39, etc.).
Ahasuerus, when we first meet him, is a man of war whose formidable tactics have just contributed to the formation of the Persian-Medean Empire, now an impressive 127 provinces in size. In the wake of this massive expansion, there is a power struggle for control of the new empire. Ahasuerus’ military successes render him a plausible candidate for ruler.
But someone else had a more legitimate claim to that throne. The new Persian-Median empire succeeds the old Persian Empire which had recently been ruled by Belshazzar, who is familiar to us from the Book of Daniel. Belshazzar’s surviving heir is his granddaughter, Vashti. Both Megillah 10b and Esther Rabbah Peticha 11 (This is the Midrash, the commentary by rabbis on the book of Esther) identifies Vashti as the granddaughter of Belshazzar which, incidentally, makes her also the great-great granddaughter of Nebuchadnezzar himself — the evil Assyrian king who destroyed the first Temple and sent the Jews into exile. Nebuchadnezzar who threw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire…Yup that Guy.
Midrash and Aggadah (rabbinic story-telling) explain how the beautiful young Vashti was spared by Darius the Mede on the night when Daniel read the proverbial “writing on the wall” (Daniel 5) and predicted the assassination of the corrupt King Belshazzar (her grandfather) by Medean spies. Darius used little Vashti to cement his own legacy by marrying her to one of his most faithful vassals, a promising young military man named Ahasuerus. But Xerxes, as his Greek enemies called him, was a better leader in wartime than in peace, and he bitterly resented his role as the queen’s consort. Unused as he was to domestic matters, he plotted to wrest control of the state away from his royal wife and consolidate all matters into his control.
So now knowing this backstory makes Queen Vashti defying the command of the king much more understandable because she knew him, and she knew what he was trying to do at her expense.
Like Haman, Vashti descends from an enemy of the Jews, but like Esther, she is an orphan God protects. So Vashti has a little bit of Haman and a little bit of Esther in her. Also, Haman would have most likely been able to sway Vashti to destroy the Jews being the line of royalty she comes from; the Jews are captives and slaves to her, not her people. The Lord needed someone as Queen who identified with the Jews as HER people.
Also, look at the Scripture Carefully. Vashti was expected to appear with just her royal crown:
According to the Midrash, Vashti refused to attend the party because she was expected to be fully naked. After negotiating unsuccessfully, Vashti tried to explain why it would reflect badly on King Ahasuerus for her to attend. There was also Persian law pertaining to this that other men were not to look this way on another man's wife.
So here is The King over 127 (which if added equals the number 10, this is important) provinces completely humiliated because the queen defied him and a direct command that he had given. Queen Vashti’s behavior was the beginning of third-wave feminism at that time, she disobeyed, and she dishonored the King. However had she obeyed it would have dishonored her. So, King Ahasuerus gets so infuriated because he looks like a fool in front of all the province heads (and in a way kind of brought this on himself). He removes Vashti as Queen and banishes her. Because of this huge scandal, this is the type of scandal that would be on the front of every kind of People magazine, Daily Mail, Sun, and National Enquirer–a headline like THE ROYAL FAMILY DIVED, THE QUEEN DEFIES AND IS DETHRONED (sound familiar). The position of Queen is now open. This is no accident. God is working behind the scenes. His name is Hidden because He is working all things together for good for the Jewish people, his firstborn, to save them. KEY: God’s name is so hidden because it’s such a high revelation! Even if Esther is incredibly intelligent and beautiful, it still could not have happened without the hand of God what's about to take place. The earth is the Lord’s footstool, and He is in charge is the moral of the story, meaning the Lord does what he pleases and uses WHOM he pleases to work things together for the good of His people.
Ok now understanding this let's look at the account of Esther through a different lens.
The Story of Esther is a typology of Jesus Christ.
The groom-King Ahasuerus (gentile)-King of Kings (Jew) (Zechariah 14:9)(Daniel 7:14).
Another interesting way King Ahasuerus is tied to a depiction of Christ is that His name means Lion King and Jesus himself is called the Lion of Judah. Also, Persian kings had a long title: During the Achaemenid Dynasty, the title of a Persian monarch was not plain king except in short. The full title was something like “The Great King, The King of Kings, The King of Lands and Peoples, The King of the World”.Artaxšaça. The former means “he who rules over/among heroes,” while the latter means “he whose rule is through truth.”
So we have The King of Kings, the Lion King.
The bride-Ruth (gentile)-Esther (Jew)-the body of Christ.
Galatians 3:28: There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority].
Colossians 3:11: a renewal in which there is no [distinction between] Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, [nor between nations whether] [a]barbarian or [b]Scythian, [nor in status whether] slave or free, but Christ is all, and in all [so believers are equal in Christ, without distinction].
The covenant-Mordechai (nation of Israel)- Naomi in the Book of Ruth also represents the nation of Israel. King David (whose great-grandparents were Ruth and Boaz.
Jeremiah 30:8-9: ‘It shall come about on that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will break the yoke off your neck and I will tear off your bonds and force apart your shackles; and strangers will no longer make slaves of the people [of Israel]. 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and [the descendant of] David their King, whom I will raise up for them.
Ezekiel 37:24-28: 24 “[a]My servant David will be king over them, and they all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them. 25 They will live in the land where your fathers lived, [the land] that I gave to My servant Jacob, and they will live there, they and their children and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David will be their leader forever. 26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply them, and will put My sanctuary in their midst forever. 27 My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. 28 Then the nations will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord who sets apart and sanctifies Israel [for holy use], when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.”’”
However, King David's aspect is tied to Mordecai as well.
David is a prince and Jesus God over them.
Isaiah 9:7: There shall be no end to the increase of His government and of peace,
[He shall rule] on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From that time forward and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
Christ orders His kingdom, David King of Israel.
Esther 10:2-3 King Ahasuerus is a representation of Christ.
And all the accomplishments of his authority and strength, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia? 3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and in favor with his many fellow people, for he worked for the good of his people and spoke for the welfare and peace of his whole nation.
Mordecai was made second in command to the king of Kings (remember this is one of Ahasuerus’s titles) like David is going to be king over Israel and Jesus the king of Kings
Now, that this groundwork has been laid we go back to the beginning of Esther.
In Esther chapter 1, we are introduced to King Ahasuerus (who represents Jesus) and the Jew gentile connection.
Queen Vashti is introduced and she represents an Israel that rejects Christ, why because she rejects King Ahasuerus when he calls for her to come wearing her crown. The Jews' full rejection of Jesus takes place around the crucifixion of Jesus.
This would also represent the end of the 69th week of Daniel’s prophecy (the 70th week of prophecy).
Esther Chapter 2: We are introduced to Esther the bride of Christ because King Ahasuerus is a representation of Christ the king.
Esther 2:17: Now the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the [other] virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen in the place of Vashti. 18 Then the king held a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and his servants; and he made a [f]festival for the provinces and gave gifts in accordance with the resources of the king.
This foreshadows the marriage supper of the lamb:
Revelation 19:9-10: Then the angel said to me, “Write, ‘[d]Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the [e]Lamb.’” And he said to me [further], “These are the true and exact words of God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he [stopped me and] said to me, “You must not do that; I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who have and hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God [alone]. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy [His life and teaching are the heart of prophecy].”
Chapter 3: We are introduced to Haman who represents the antichrist, who wants to take Christ's seat. Remember King Ahasuerus represents Christ, Haman was coming up the ranks and planning a coup to become king himself.
Esther 3:1-2
After these things, King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him. 2 And all the king’s servants who were within the king’s gate bowed and paid homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage.
Here is the question with Mordecai, why won’t this man bow to Haman?
Haman was elevated to viceroy 2nd in command of the king. It appears, keyword, there is a decree issued that all servants were to bow to Haman when he passes in the streets. However, Mordecai REFUSES to bow to Haman, there is a major clue in this! Why does Mordecai do this, why risk your life just to thumb your nose at Haman? Could it be that bowing down is idolatry and Mordecai is standing up for his faith and the commandment, do not worship other gods? Does the Torah consider it idolatry? The Torah is full of examples of humans bowing before another human as an example–Abraham bowed? It’s a way of showing respect in that time of history. And we do not hear anything about the supposed idol around Haman’s neck-the Midrash reported? The book of Esther, however, does not state this in detail. You see Haman gave that decree because Haman REALLY wanted to be King. Haman was systematically and methodically planning to take the position of King from Ahasuerus and stage a coup. Mordecai would not bow because Mordecai discerned this and his loyalty was to God first and King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) second, Haman was not the KING THEREFORE Mordecai would not take part in this exercise. Central to the book is a decree of genocide formed by Haman that Mordecai helped to stop. He was an instrument of Almighty God. The only reason Haman made the decree is because Mordecai refuses to bow to him because Mordecai knew it was a deception, a false decree!! He discerned that Haman was laying the groundwork to take the crown for himself!! So he begins to want to annihilate opponents who would stand in the way of such a political move. DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR FOR WHAT IS GOING ON IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW???
Chapter 3 begins Daniel's 70th week which means chapter 2 would potentially represent the rapture of the church. Why? Esther represents God’s people and she is hidden away in the palace. Her identity is HIDDEN as a Jew. As Haman begins his rampage of destruction, Esther is Hidden and protected.
Chapters 3 through chapter 9 of Esther is Daniel's 70th week.
Esther 3:7 In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.
The month of Nisan is when Pharaoh went to kill the Jews who left Egypt and went through the Red Sea on Nissan 19 and was Nissan 19 when Adolf Hitler was born.
Nisan is March through April on the Gregorian calendar.
Nisan 1 this year begins April 8th at Sundown, the same day as the full Solar Eclipse whose path of totality is Eagle pass Texas and passes over more than 8 cities named Nineveh in North America.
So the first day of the ecclesiastical year on the Jewish calendar happens just happens to coincide with This full Solar Eclipse.
Now Where is the hint to Esther in the 5 books of Moses, being Esther lived so long after these 5 books were written? Where is the hint to Esther, Haman, and Mordecai in the Torah? If God has seen all of it, the beginning, the end, then the Torah would have Hinted at this.
Haman, the hint of Haman according to the sages, comes from the story of the tree of the knowledge of the good of evil. They find a word that is similar in spelling.
Hey mem nun appearance in Genesis 3 is a hint to the hey mem nun to Haman in the Torah. The verse pointed to is after Adam has eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 3:11: God says Hamin ha’eitz “have you eaten from the tree I have commanded you not to eat from” hey mem nun. When you think about this Haman is an evil individual plotting genocide, and well Adam, we do not think of him as such a bad guy, he eats from the tree that’s not such a good thing, but it’s not like he’s plotting genocide. So why this comparison which seems a bit shocking, puzzling even? What are the sages (Jewish philosophers, wise men) trying to say about the Book of Esther? Here is the way it went: Haman has everything–a powerful position with the king, riches, wealth, and the one thing he cannot have is Mordecai, killing Mordecai for refusing to bow. Mordecai is the forbidden fruit, the fruit Haman is NOT supposed to touch. Adam had everything in the garden and the one thing he could not have was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. EVE is the one who deceives Adam into eating from the tree, likewise, Zeresh, Haman's wife, convinces him to hang Mordecai and kill him in Esther 5:14, encouraging him to build a gallows 50 cubits high. The tree and gallows are from the same word in Hebrew.
Esther 5:14
Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows[a] be made, [b]fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet.”
And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.
They want to hang Mordecai on a 50-cubit gallows, a 50-cubit tree. 50 the number of the Jubilee, where the captives are set free and what is stolen is returned. Haman is the thief, attempting to steal the crown and kill and destroy the Jewish people.
This coincides with the Antichrist and Daniel’s 70th week because remember Ahasuerus represents the King of Kings, Mordechai and Esther represent the people of God and Israel. What is the forbidden fruit for the antichrist? He wants to set himself up as the king of Kings in the temple, he wants to establish himself in the seat of the One who has the true knowledge to judge Good from Evil, The Righteous Judge and King Almighty God, and Haman wants to kill those who are opposed and will not bow and serve him.
How long does Esther fast for 3 days after that 3 days fast is completed it is a half a day later she puts on her royal robes and goes into the king's chamber.
Esther 4:8-15: 8 Mordecai also gave him a copy of the text of the decree which had been issued in Susa for the Jews's destruction, so that he might show Esther and explain it to her, and order her to go into the king to seek his favor and plead with him for [the lives of] her people. 9 Hathach came back and told Esther what Mordecai had said. 10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and ordered him to reply to Mordecai, saying: 11 “All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court without being summoned, he has but one law, that he is to be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And as for me, I have not been summoned to come to the king for these [last] thirty days.” 12 So they told Mordecai what Esther had said. 13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not imagine that you in the king’s palace can escape any more than all the Jews. 14 For if you remain silent at this time, liberation and rescue will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father’s house will perish [since you did not help when you had the chance]. And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this very purpose]?”
Esther Plans to Intercede
15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16 “Go, gather all the Jews that are present in Susa, and observe a fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids also will fast in the same way. Then I will go in to [see] the king [without being summoned], which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.” 17 So Mordecai went away and did exactly as Esther had commanded him.
Esther 5:1-4
On the third day [of the fast] Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace opposite his [throne] room. The king was sitting on his royal throne, facing the [main] entrance of the palace. 2 When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she found favor in his sight; and the king extended to her the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter. 3 Then the king said to her, “What is troubling you, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you, [a]up to half of the kingdom.” 4 Esther said, “If it pleases the king, may the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
She could have exposed the whole plot here! She doesn’t! She invites the King to a banquet, remember the King has not called her in 30 days. She needs that emotional connection of spending time with the King to make her plea.
This is the virtual living and walking out of Psalm 23:4-5.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Thy Rod and Thy Staff, what does the King extend that scepter that staff that protects her life.
It is in chapter 5 that Haman has the gallows built 50 cubits high. 50 the jubilee, the land is given back to God's people.
Esther 6
It is after this banquet the first banquet the King cannot sleep, as Esther has invited them to a second banquet and only then will she make her request known. Haman leaves joyful thinking he has EVERYTHING IN THE BAG. That night the king cannot sleep, he cannot sleep after what has transpired with Esther appearing suddenly in his court, the extending of the gold scepter, and of anything Esther could of asked the king for, he offered up to half his kingdom, she invites the King and Haman to a banquet.
A table is being prepared before Esther, Mordechai, and the Jews in the PRESENCE of their enemies, and the presence of Haman at the banquet.
Chapter 6 begins with King Ahasuerus fighting an intentional bout of insomnia, intentional on the Lord’s part. It was out of the ordinary that he could not sleep reflects God the King of Kings does not sleep nor slumber. When a person is up vs sleeping--when a person is up everything functions normally in a normal way. While at sleep you are not in an alert state! God neither sleeps nor slumbers because He is protecting us!
Ahasuerus is a reference to God aharit-end resh-beginning so end beginning God is the end from the beginning, and beginning from end, Ahasuerus can’t sleep, the Lord cannot rest because He knows His people the Jewish people are in danger. His children are in danger. At the same time, Haman cannot sleep, by God’s design, because the Lord knows what Haman is coming to ask the king for. So, the king asks for the book of records and memorable deeds to be read to him because, truly, his spirit is being stirred by the Lord. Haman cannot sleep because he has just been convinced by Zeresh, his wife (a shadow of the temptation of Adam by Eve), to go to the king and ask for Mordecai’s head. The serpent tells Eve and Adam they will be LIKE God if they eat from the tree, that they would not die, they would be like God. Likewise, Haman wants to be like the King. The serpent and Antichrist are the same, they each want that slot. Mordecai is standing in the way of that. During the reading of memorable deeds, the King realizes Mordechai was never honored for uncovering the plot of the eunuchs against the King's life. It is at this PIVOTAL moment Haman enters to speak with the king about Mordechai. The king poses a question to Haman in chapter 6: what is to be done for a man the king desires to honor. So Haman, thinking it's all about him, tells the king to honor such a man by giving him a royal crown, royal robe, and a royal horse and putting the person on the horse and walking him around announcing this is what shall be done for a man the king chooses to honor. Haman wants to be LIKE the king, he wants to be THE KING.
If you were in the king's shoes, what would you think of that response by Haman? Look at those words carefully, count how many times the word "king" or "royal" appears in his statements. It's all "king"; "king"; "king." If you're Ahasuerus, and you already couldn't sleep that night because you were worried about the possibility that Haman was after your wife. Now why would that be, because Esther made an intimate dinner for 2 and an intimate dinner for 3 – and then Haman walked into your room and gave you this advice, what would you be thinking? Not only does he want my wife… he wants my job, too. He wants the crown.
NOW the King begins to recognize the evil in Haman, and the reverse happens, the King turns to Haman and says go do this for Mordecai. Now things are beginning to reverse on Haman. This is a train that cannot be stopped. Haman MUST NOW parade Mordecai through the streets being forced to HONOR the very man he wants to destroy along with his people. Haman returns home distraught and his wife Zeresh, the very one who lured him to hang Mordecai makes a very prophetic statement.
Esther 6:13
When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him.”
6+1+3=10 Haman has 10 Sons, and Nuremberg had 10 nazi officers.
This is out of Zeresh’s own mouth, something that has gone through the centuries. Those who want to destroy the Jews (annihilate them as a people), when they begin to fall in status with those aligned with them, it is the seal that signifies the destruction of those who want to be utilized by the Spirit of Antichrist and lawlessness in the nations.
I can even prove this is true with Hamas. Remember Hamas and Haman are separated by 1 letter and both are tied to Amalek and that spirit.
When Hamas wickedly did what they did on October 7th, they did not notify Iran (Persia), who was Persian?, Ahasuerus. Who was half Arab half Jewish? Haman. Hamas never informed Iran, or Persia, that they were going to go to such horrific extremes, and when they did, Iran TURNED on them and told them since they forgot to keep them in the loop on this one and come to THEM FIRST ABOUT THIS, and just went ahead with such an attack, that they are not going to help Hamas like in the Past. Hamas, Haman, began to fall in Status at that very moment. What did Zeresh say to Haman?
Esther 6:13: If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him.”
Something to think about there because this can be traced through history.
Now there is something else that goes with Daniel's 70th week and the tribulation in Esther and it happens at the second banquet.
First, let me say Esther faces two major challenges and she really has to find a way to deal with each. First, there's her "Mother Persia" liability: She is viewed as Mother Persia but she is a Jew. Should she reveal her nationality, the "girl from nowhere, the orphan" risks being seen as an imposter by the king, or even worse, a traitor. Second, above and beyond that, she has planted the suspicion of adultery, remember Haman was invited to this cozy banquet. If the first liability would make her a traitor on the national stage, the second would make her a traitor in her marriage. To some extent, Esther is battling these two liabilities as much – or more – than she is battling Haman himself.
Now, the second banquet unfolds. Esther, the king, and Haman are seated. Ahasuerus, as he did a day before, asks Esther to make her request – this time, Esther tells him what's really on her mind.
Esther 7:3-4 "If I have found favor in your eyes, oh king, and if it's good in your eyes – then give me my life as my request, and [the life of] my people as my petition. Because me and my people have been sold – to be destroyed, killed, annihilated…" ( I want to go back to sold in a moment)
The king listens to this, and he's shocked, he demands to know who it is that would dare do such a thing, to which Esther replies:
Esther 7:6 "A man who's a treacherous enemy: Haman, this evil one, that's who it is."
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one in any way deceive or entrap you, for that day will not come unless the [a]apostasy comes first [that is, the great rebellion, the abandonment of the faith by professed Christians], and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction [the Antichrist, the one who is destined to be destroyed],
So there it is: Esther finally reveals that her people, the Jews, are endangered, and she brings to light the identity of the aggressor, Haman. But go back and examine more carefully what she said. How did Esther deal with her two liabilities?
The first clue comes from the fact that Esther has not simply asked the king to spare her nation. She has asked him to spare her own life, too. Not only that, she mentions her own life first:
"…give me my life as my request, she said, and only after that, [the life of] my people…" (Esther 7:3)
You see, the news that someone is out to get his queen, that Esther's own life is threatened, makes everything she says after this pale into comparison. It's like the king doesn't even hear anything else. Only one question matters to him: "Who is this, that's trying to do this to you?"
And of course, Esther is all too happy to share:
"Haman, seated right next to you, at this cozy little banquet." See Esther Hyper focuses on the king because it’s the King’s decision that matters here, no one else in that palace or the land matters but the King in this moment.
The announcement of her national affiliation, which in any other circumstance would be breaking news in and of itself, has been Eclipsed by an even bigger headline: someone's out to kill the queen. And, of course, for Ahasuerus, it's even more personal than that: someone is out to get his wife AND also take his crown.
Esther has distracted Ahasuerus from her Mother Persia debacle which is thinking about her potentially divided national loyalties by giving him something even more compelling to think about. The woman he loves is asking him to rescue her. He has the chance to play the knight in shining armor. To be the hero! What man would not want to rise to that occasion!
Esther's claim that her life is threatened at that moment is up for debate. He didn't even know she was a Jew. No one knew she was a Jew, the king included, until now, when Esther offered that information. So yes, now that she has, of her own accord, divulged her religion and national identity, It comes to light she is threatened by Haman's blanket decree of genocide. But the threat to her own life is really something that's of her own making. The king could easily give her a pass. Esther's claim that she is imperiled, once you stop to think about it, is questionable.
Esther doesn’t want the King to stop and think she wants him to act. She wants him to remove the decree that's causing all the trouble. Esther's words lead Ahasuerus towards the hasty conclusion she wants him to arrive at:
And Ahasuerus arrives at some conclusions all right, however, I want to go back to that sold part because this has to do with the tribulation
Esther 7:3-5
Then Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me as my request, and my people as my wish; 4 for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed, and eliminated. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have kept silent, because the distress would not be sufficient reason to burden the king.” 5 King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who is he? Where is he—the man who has dared to do such a thing?”
Now in Hebrew:
"Ki nimkarnu ani v’ami” – because me and my people have been sold. Lehashmid laharog ulabed. Okay, stop right there!? she could have just cut to the chase; she could have just said, "Look!" She could have gotten into the 'Lehashmid laharog ulabed' part: "We are going to be utterly destroyed." What's the 'we have been sold' to be utterly destroyed? it's not clear that they've been actually sold, but they've been sold to be destroyed, remember 10,000 talents of silver into the Kings Treasury was offered by Haman for their destruction which is the equivalent of $161 million today – that makes it more complicated. It only goes downhill from here. She then says the following, very complicated idea because Esther was a smart shrewd woman: "V’ilu laavadim v’lishfachot nimkarnu' – and King, I just wanted you to know, that had we in fact been sold as slaves, and not been sold to be killed; so, 'hecherashti' – I probably would have kept silent and not bothered you; 'ki ein hatzar shoveh benezek hamelech'.
Where does this appear in the end-time chronology that we can line this up, remember hidden in Esther is the chronology of the end-times.
Revelation 13:15-18: 15 And he is given power to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast will even [appear to] speak, and cause those who do not bow down and worship the image of the beast to be put to death.
OK stop right there, Mordechai did not want to bow down to Haman and the IMAGE he was putting forth to view him as King, therefore Haman plotted Mordechais death.
16 Also he compels all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead [signifying allegiance to the beast], 17 and that no one will be able to buy or sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let the person who has enough insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the [imperfect] number of a man; [g]and his number is [h]six hundred and sixty-six.
What did Esther say in chapter 7: "Ki nimkarnu ani v’ami” – because me and my people have been sold.
Esther 7:4 for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed, and eliminated
They were MARKED for destruction, they were sold.
and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead [signifying allegiance to the beast], 17 and that no one will be able to buy or sell, except the one who has the mark.
Esther starts on page 777 of the Holy Bible, the earth was created in 7 days and the Esther was taken into the palace in the 7th year of Ahasuerus's reign, and the Great Tribulation is 7 years, there are references to both creation and the Great Tribulation in Esther.
Chapter 9 shows Christ's victory over the antichrist. Haman is defeated, the antichrist is defeated by the King of Kings. The Feast of Purim is established, which is the celebration of this amazing defeat of evil.
It was King Ahasuerus who issued the decree to judge Haman, King Ahasuerus is a representation of Christ, Christ gives the decree that the antichrist will now be judged.
Revelation 19:11-21: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse, and He who was riding it is called Faithful and True (trustworthy, loyal, incorruptible, steady), and in righteousness He judges and wages war [on the rebellious nations]. 12 His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many royal crowns; and He has a name inscribed [on Him] which no one knows or understands except Himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in [f]blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, [dazzling] white and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword (His word) with which He may strike down the nations, and He will [g]rule them with a rod of iron; and He will tread the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty [in judgment of the rebellious world]. 16 And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name inscribed, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
Doom of the Beast and False Prophet
17 Then I saw a single angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he shouted to all the birds that fly in midheaven, saying, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may feast on the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of powerful and mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all humanity, both free men and slaves, both small and great [in a complete conquest of evil].” 19 Then I saw the beast and the kings and political leaders of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against Him who is mounted on the [white] horse and against His army. 20 And the beast (Antichrist) was seized and overpowered, and with him the false prophet who, in his presence, had performed [amazing] signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were hurled alive into the lake of fire which blazes with brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds fed ravenously and gorged themselves with their flesh.
Chapter 10 is the King of Kings ruling and giving Mordecai which is a representation of King David, the number 2 role of ruling over Israel.
Esther 2:16-17
16 So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, to his royal palace in the tenth month, that is, the month of Tebeth (Dec-Jan), in the seventh year of his reign.
10th month 7th year 10 X 7=70
70 weeks
Daniel's 70 weeks once again is hidden in the Book of Esther.
Esther Becomes Queen
17 Now the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the [other] virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen in the place of Vashti. 18 Then the king held a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and his servants; and he made a [f]festival for the provinces and gave gifts in accordance with the resources of the king.
Daniel 9:27
And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of [af]abominations will come the one who [ag]makes desolate, until a complete destruction, one that is [ah]decreed, gushes forth on the one who [ai]makes desolate.”
In chapter 3 of Esther King Ahasuerus promotes Haman.
Esther 3:5-6
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, he was furious. 6 But he disdained laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were (his nationality); so Haman determined to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who lived throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
When does the antichrist break the treaty set himself up as God and unleash total destruction, halfway through these 7 years, so about 3.5 years.
Daniel 9:27
abominations will come the one who [ag]makes desolate, until a complete destruction, one that is [ah]decreed, gushes forth on the one who [ai]makes desolate.”
When does Haman break his peace with the Jews and determine destruction upon them and try to become king himself?
Esther 3:5-6
When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, he was furious. 6 But he disdained laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were (his nationality); so Haman determined to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who lived throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
It matches almost perfectly.
Great Tribulation is 7 years, the 7th year the antichrist is Destroyed. Keep in mind Ahasuerus is the King of kings, Haman is the antichrist, and Esther represents the bride of Christ or God's people.
Esther 7
So the king and Haman came to drink wine with Esther the queen. 2 And the king said to Esther on the second day also as they drank their wine, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted to you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom, it shall be done.” 3 Then Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be spared as my petition, and my people [be spared] as my request; 4 for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed and wiped out of existence. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have remained silent, for our hardship would not be sufficient to burden the king [by even mentioning it].” 5 Then King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) asked Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who dares to do such a thing?” 6 Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy is Haman, this evil man.” Then Haman became terrified before the king and queen.
Esther 7 Haman, the antichrist is exposed and destroyed. It is the 7th year of the great tribulation that the antichrist is exposed and destroyed
Haman Is Hanged
Esther 7 continued
7 Then in his fury, the king stood up from drinking wine and went into the palace garden [to decide what he should do]; but Haman stayed to plead for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm had been determined against him by the king. 8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even attempt to assault the queen with me in the palace?” As the king spoke those words, the servants covered Haman’s face [in preparation for execution]. 9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs serving the king said, “Now look, there are gallows fifty cubits (75 ft.) high standing at Haman’s house, which Haman made for Mordecai, whose good warning saved the king.” And the king said, “Hang him on it.” 10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s anger subsided.
It was the 10th month that Esther is taken into the palace, it is Esther 6:13 where Haman falls in status to Mordechai 6+1+3=10, Haman's 10 sons are also hanged, 10 chapters of Esther, , at Nuremberg, 10 nazi officers were hung.
Esther chapters 9 and 10 the Jews upon decree are able to defend themselves against any who want to do them harm.
Esther 10
King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) imposed a tax on the land and on the coastlands of the sea. 2 And all the accomplishments of his authority and strength, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king had raised him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia? 3 For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and in favor with his many fellow people, for he worked for the good of his people and spoke for the welfare and peace of his whole nation.
