Esther is a young woman , married to a powerful man controlling 172 provinces across India and Ethiopia .
Her tribe is minority in the land she dwells, so her uncle (father/adviser/brand manager,pr executive)asks her not to mention it . Maybe rightfully so, she was in a different land, most likely grew up and was raised there and so their customs was most likely hers too.
Here she is enjoying her home, in laws were not stressing her, her Uncle is her eyes/ears outside the palace.
Her uncle on the other end is riling up his political opponent Haman, maybe Mordecai was only just a political commentator or what they called them in those days and he didn’t agree with his values.
Haman was oppressive and looked down on the Jews.
So here’s one man,angry with another man and because of that he seeks to wipe out a whole tribe, generation of humans . Just look at wickedness.
Haman goes ahead and gets an unchangeable royal decree to wipe out an entire race. Are you people seeing this ?
I know it wasn’t a democracy then , but how?!!!!
Ayyyyyy God
* side eyeing King Ahasuerus
* side eyeing Trump and the immigrant debacle
*side eyeing Nigeria and boko haram ,Fulani herdsmen etc etc
Tbh, humans have always been selfish and intolerant.
Mordecai remembers he has someone in Asorock and being the dramatic man he is . * wears sackcloth, baths in ashes and waits at the gate .
He petitions Esther to wake up and fight for her people . She tries to give excuses about how oh * it doesn’t work like that here oh * I can’t really help you people because I’m busy painting my nails ( maybe not this , just side eyeing people who always find a reason to not stand up and help, lend their voice , fight oppression in anyway they can
What stood out was Mordecai calling Esther’s bluff by saying
- See Esther , if you don’t help us , someone will , God will raise someone who will, God has positioned you on this high pedestal but don’t forget your humble beginnings , you’re still a Jew , don’t forget oh , it’s on the outside today but who knows Haman might decide to trace your ancestry and find a way to wipe you and your children, these murderers are not joking around . Get off your butt and do something!!!!!
Very fire on the mountain situation.
