Dear Marian, thanks for your nice presentation. Can you explain why Esther, in chapter 4, was justifiably hesitant to take Mordecai's second message (about Haman vs. the Jews) to Ahasuerus, but did not hesitate at all in chapter 2, regarding taking Mordecai's first message (about Bigthan and Teresh) to Ahasuerus? Since the laws of Persia were not easily changed (8:8), it would seem that either of these interruptions to Ahasuerus' schedule could have resulted in her being executed. (I think I can explain this, but I'd like to know your thoughts.)
Where did you study the Bible? Are u a researcher or biblical scholar
Dear NayNae, thanks for your kind comment. I just study the Bible with friends and on my own. I hope you find this interesting. In chapter 2 I think Esther had to convince the king that two of his trusted bodyguards (Bigthan and Teresh), whom he likely had selected himself (please recall the excellent relationship that Nehemiah had with Artaxerxes, the king Nehemiah was protecting) were actually planning to kill him. I think that was a very dangerous assignment that she courageously accepted without hesitation. I think her hesitation in chapter 4 was due to her concern that although she'd saved Ahasuerus' life in chapter 2, he had neither expressed his thanks nor had arranged to even greet her for 30 days. In chapter 5 when she realized that Ahasuerus was so appreciative that he wanted to reward her with half of the kingdom, I think Esther realized that it had been Haman (who had been the hidden mastermind behind the plot of Bigthan and Teresh, but then treacherously decided to get Bigthan and Teresh prosecuted and executed to make himself look good) who had convinced the king to see no one for 30 days, to prevent Esther from delivering any more information from Mordecai that might disrupt Haman's next plot to kill the king. How does that sound?
