I Totally agree and felt the exact same, Ivor Myers is an Amazing Preacher and truly the Spirit of God reveals to him. As does he to you
Wow, Amazing word 🙏🙏
Very interesting and well studied topic. Really well done presentation. I like how Sehuelt draws many parallels from scripture that we usually just skim over and take no notice. I love the imagery and duality of scriptural events.
I realize now that Esther is some of the more entertaining reading of the whole Bible, however, I am a bit perplexed why, in his take on Esther, he says the drama played out on the 13th, 14th, and 15th, as did the wedding in this video. So, I re-read Esther and indeed the the plot to kill the jews began on the 13th, but, from literal scripture verse-by-verse, everything from there on had totally different time elements. Or was it a symbolic 13th, 14th, and 15th?
Some background on dates: As much as we'd like it to not be true...the following is well documented:
Before the Roman calendar was forcefully imposed upon the world on threat of death by Constantine about 325 A.D., ancient time was reckoned differently than now.
Their years were named by who reigned and how long that dude ruled.
Their hours were 1-12 on a sundial. Day began in the 1st hour and ended in the 12th. Night was divided into 4 watches. Gen.1: ( Note: all creation was performed during daylight hours which mathematically and incrementally leaves the night to follow.)
Their days were numbered 1-7 in the week, and 29 or 30 for the month, and wow, the moon was what defined the month.
New year (Rosh Hoshana) was in spring, with the new moon at the feet of the constellation Bethulah/Virgo. The name of that month? Nissan/Abib (same as in Esther)
Sabbaticals were every 7 years.
Jubilees were every 50 years.
Little known fact about our history: The GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT of 1844 surrounding the Day of Atonement was calculated no fewer than twice because someone in the group realized (after the 1st disappointment) this easily overlooked fact and assigned a crew of scholars to research back using the Karaite jew's method of counting days, months and years, using the lunar cycles instead of the Gregorian Calendar, all the way back to the crucifixion and then beyond to the decree to rebuild Jerusalem (Yarushalom) around 458 B.C. This is documented in the book "The Great Controversy" 1888 version which included this information in the Appendix under 'general notes 3 & 9'. I challenge you to find one of those versions and read the notes yourself. All copies under control of the church have been either confiscated or destroyed by top leaders of the church. Hmmm... The new versions since 1911 do not include this info. (because the early version left Pandora's box ajar) An inconvenient truth is still truth even when it is redacted from our own written literature. You can probably find info by doing a Google search of The Great Easter Controversy. It's funny how man always seems to find a way to circumvent following the Father's instructions for knowing his time and events to follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
So, I'm thinking you will have more fun reading Esther for yourself, but I jotted down some highlights if you prefer to get the gist.
SCENE ONE, DAY 1: Nissan 13. Esther 3 & 4
1. The plot: Signed into law on the 13th day of the 1st month, (Nissan/Abib) the day before Passover. It was sent out to all the provinces. Thousands of square miles and could not have reached everyone within 3 days. It provided the legality to kill jews 11 months later on the same 13th day of the month.
2. Discovery by Mordi accompanied by sackcloth and grieving at the king's gate.
3. The call to fast and pray FOR 3 DAYS by Esther.
SCENE TWO, DAY 4: Nissan 16 (3 days later) Esther 5. (Already off the 3-day cycle proposed)
1. Esther approaches the King's throne unbidden.
2. She invites Xerxes and Haman to dinner that evening. As an aside, I love how the writer of Esther uses humor: Xerxes tells the servants to "light a fire" under Haman, as though Haman was dawdling, or was it merely excitement to get to Esther's house and he didn't want to wait around for Haman to finish up daily duties. In either case, good stuff.
3. She defers to answer the King's offer of half the kingdom until the next evening, and invites both of them to return next day.
4. Dinner over, Haman is prancing and whistling down the lane all puffed up, and happens upon uncle Mordi who won't bow to him. There again, he experiences what I'll call, an "auschwitz moment", except that uncle Mordi is free to move about. I wonder if Hitler was a descendant or of the same family tree as Haman. So Haman follows his wife's advice and builds a gallows for uncle Mordi (that day), very ambitious.
5. That night the king's indigestion keeps him awake so he asks to review the recent reports, discovers uncle Mordi's heroic saving of the king's life and decides to reward him. Esther 6.
SCENE 3, DAY 5: Esther 6 & 7
1. Xerxes clueless of the rift between Haman and Mordi, forces Haman to parade uncle Mordi around the city, shouting the king's favor. Really great stuff.
2. Haman, depressed and wounded by the turn of events, is nearly dragged by Xerxes' staff to get him to the 2nd banquet on time.
3. Esther reveals Haman's plot.
4. Haman grovels but is hanged on his own gallows anyway.
5. Esther is given Haman's house.
6. Uncle Mordi is given the ring Xerxes had given Haman, along with title to the household of Haman.
7. Esther petitions the king to reverse the evil proclamation to kill the jews, but fails.
Dang these ancients got a lot done in a day!!
SCENE 4: 3 months later. Sivan 23. The Solution
1. Scribes write up a new proclamation giving the jews just cause and permission to defend themselves from harm within the realm on the 13th day of the 12th month. (127 provinces. India to Ethiopia)
2. Uncle Mordi is given royal status and clothes.
3. The jews are celebrated, and many nationals are converted to judiaism.
SCENE 5: D-day. 12th month, 13th day. Reckoning.
1. Some tried to attack the jews but failed. Even the king's officers, leutenants, rulers and others came to the jew's defense. Partly in deference to uncle Mordi who is now 2nd in command throughout the realm.
2. Xerxes asks Esther, "is there anything more I can do for you?
3. "Sure, Could you extend the permission to fight for another day?, oh, and It would be awesome to see the 10 sons of Haman follow down their father's path. And so
it was.
4. 500 nationals die attacking the jews. 10 sons die.
note: it's hard to grasp how the whole realm knew of the extension for the 2nd day of fighting.
SCENE 6: Next day-extended SCENE 5.
1. 75,000 die attacking the jews but no spoils were taken by jews
SCENE 7: 15th day of Adar
1. Rest and gladness
2. Beginnings of a new holiday "Purim" held on the 14th and 15th of Adar each year.
3. Note that no fighting was done on the 15th. All through history. Because the 14th is Passover and the 15th is Shabbat counted from the first of the month. Same day every year.
Just some thoughts to consider. ;)
In Esther chapter 9 the Jews are saved on Adar 13, 14, 15
