In the Scriptures
In the Scriptures, the word yad is used
to refer to a physical hand, but more
often it is used idiomatically to refer to
the power or the craft of a person or
group. Thus we read of the “hand of
the enemy,” “the hand of the
The Torah Scroll (Sefer Torah) is one of the
most precious objects of Jewish worship. To show respect
(and to protect the scroll from dirt and oil from the
reader’s hands), a Yad or Torah pointer is normally used
while reading. Most yadim are made of beautifully
wrought silver. Note: is states that The pointing end of
the Yad is commonly shaped like a small hand with its
index finger extended. The Hands of Adonai were also
pierced for us (Psalm 22:16, John 20:27).

Summary of Esther - Historical Background
To keep Esther’s story in
perspective,
time-wise
these
events
occurred
between the first returned of
exiles to Jerusalem under
Zerubbabel {536 B.C.) and
the second return under
Ezra (458 B.C.)
The events in the book of Esther
cover a period of 10 years {483473 B.C}. All the occurrences in
the book takes place within the
same time frame of chapter 6
and 7 of Ezra.
ESTHER opens with a feast {feast of Xerxes} and closes
with a feast (PURIM). The first was to honour the king
and

empire;
the
final
feast
was
to
commemorate the deliverance of the Jews from
annihilation.
Summary of Esther - Historical Background
Date and place: The records of the events of Esther were no doubt kept in
the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia {2:21-23;6:1-3:10:2} and the
compilation of the facts in book form was perhaps done in Shushan the
palace, of Susa, the ancient capital of Persia {Neh. 1:1; Esther 1:1-2:} about
516-506 BC.

Theologian and Latin Philosopher, Augustine of Hippo from Roman Africa,
also ascribes the book of Esther to Ezra. The Jewish Talmud ascribes it to the
Great Synagogue which, with Ezra (its founder and president), completed
the Jewish Canon of Scripture.
Summary of
Esther - Historical Background
Theme: The great deliverance of the Jews from extermination
during the time of the Babylonian captivity.
Purposes: To show by whom and how the great deliverance
of the Jews in all lands came about; to record the institutions
of the feast of Purim; and to reveal the historical background
of the liberator of the Jews from captivity – Cyrus, the son of
Esther and Darius the Mede.
Statistics: 17th book of the Bible; 10 chapters; 167 verses; 5,637
words; 11 commands; 21 questions; one prophecy (6:13); no
promises; and no distinct message from God.
The HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
The Book of Esther
Elohim’s hand of providence and protection on behalf of His people is
evident throughout the Book of Esther, though His name does not appear once.
Haman’s plot brings grave danger to the Jews and is countered by the courage of
beautiful Esther and the counsel of her cousin Mordecai, resulting in a great
deliverance. The Jewish Feast of Purim becomes an annual reminder of God’s
faithfulness on behalf of His people.
Queen Esther’s Hebrew name was Hadassah, which means “Myrtle” {Esther
2:7}, but her Persian name Ester was derived from the Persian word for “star” (stara).
The Greek title for this book is Esther, and the Latin title is Hester.

The Prophet Isaiah declared: YAH HASHEM is the Rock of the Universe {Isaiah
26:4}. In a homiletically interpretation of this verse, the Talmud explains that God used
the letters Hei, to form the Divine Name, YAH, to create the universe. It is said, that the
sound of the letter Hei, is a mere exhalation of breath, hei, that it requires little effort,
no movement of lip, tongue, or mouth. This effortless enunciation symbolises
the
effortless creation of the world – as King David in the Psalm testifies: By the word of
HASHEM the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their hosts {Psalm
33:6}.

Mysteries of Aleph
In Jewish literature, the upper YOD (meaning an
arm) represents the hidden aspect of YHVH, (ein sof - “without
end”), whereas the lower Yod represents the revelation of
YHVH to mankind. The Vav, whose meaning is “hook,” shows
connectedness between the two spiritual realms. Vav is also
thought to represent humanity, since Adam was created on
the sixth day. Vav is diagonal since it is humbled in the face of
God’s mystery and His revelation. The two Yods also indicate
the paradox of experiencing God as both hidden and close,
far and near.

The closed round letter, represents the idea of Divine support, both in the active sense that
God provides support to man and the passive sense that man relies on Him.
The Meaning of Samekh
The root of the word Samekh means “to lean upon,” “to uphold,” or “to support.” The root is also found in
the Jewish concept of semikhah, the laying on of hands upon the head of a sacrificial victim in a blood
ritual of the Jewish Temple, which was also a means of consecrating the priesthood (Lev 8; Exodus 29,).
Biblical references to the root occur in Lev 16:21, Deut 34:9, Ezekiel 24:2, and elsewhere. In ancient times,
Samekh may have represented a shield. Today, the Jewish Rabbinical ordination ceremony is called a
semikhah. Then you shall bring the bull before the tent of meeting. Aaron and his sons shall lay (samakh)
their hands on the head of the bull. Exodus 29:10

The Miracle of Samekh
The letter Nun, which immediately precedes the letter Samekh in
the alphabet, suggests someone who is “bent,” or someone who
humbles himself in brokenness and submission to the LORD
God. Putting these two letters together, we have the Hebrew word
nes, which means miracle.

are symbolic and relates to the two type of SPIRITUAL KINGDOM which is now

the Kohen Gadol {High Priest} in the Temple. Note the number five is also symbolic of these Words

It has been stated that every Holy Letter
serves as a channel to
connect heaven with earth. The Aleph is seen as a ladder placed on the ground

spirituality so that he or she can ascend to the summit: the Divine.

The Book of Esther:
Biblical Historical Background
The book of Esther is set in the reign of Ahasuerus
(the biblical name for Xerxes, king of Persia 485-465 BC), though
the Septuagint version calls the king Artaxeres, presumably
Artaxerxes I Longimanus (464-424), but
Mnemon (404-359).
possibly Artaxeres II
The book narrates the life of a
Jewish
maiden, who is orphaned, reared by her uncle, becomes queen of
the Persian Empire, and saves the Jews living in the empire
from the scheming of Haman, the Agagite. The Hebrew version
it relates to {fifth century}, and may be a product of the Greek
period (for example, after
332 BCE}.
The Septuagint version,
which intersperses another 107 verses, probably took its shape in
the second or first century BCE.

Rosh Chodesh Adar - ‫ ראש חדש אדר‬- The Month of March
On the Biblical calendar the month of Adar (‫) אֲ ָדר‬is the last
month of the year counting from Nisan (during a leap year it is called Adar
II). Adar is also the month of Purim, a festive holiday which is always
celebrated a month before Passover (Megillah 1:4). During both Purim and
Passover the children of Israel celebrate God's deliverance of His people,
and therefore Adar is considered the happiest of the months of the Jewish
year: "When Adar comes, joy is increased" (Ta'anit 29a). This year the
month of Adar begins on Wednesday, 22nd February, and Purim begins two
weeks later, under the full moon (for example Wednesday, 7th March). That
means that Passover begins one lunar month later, on Friday,
(at sundown).

and immorality of her husband, King Ahasuerus.

myrrh (as distilling in drops, and also
as bitter):myrrh.
The spice myrrh comes from a thick
gum that flows from the pierced
bark of knotted, thorny tree. The
gum hardens into red drops called
“tears”. The word myrrh comes from
a primary root in Hebrew meaning
“bitter suffering”. It represents the
bitter sufferings of Jesus as a man on
Earth.
The Greek word denotes a spice used in burial. In the New Testament, the Magi brought
gifts to Christ child, including myrrh, a foreshadowing of His suffering and bitter death
on the cross (Matt. 2:11
Purification Process of the Bride of Christ - Contd:
The original sense of the word is that of “distilling in drops”
a slow process of purification. Christ lived a life of distillation, for
“although He was Son, He learned obedience from the things which
He suffered” (Heb. 5:8). Jesus emptied Himself of His own will, and
this culminated in obedience to the point of death on the cross
(Phil. 2:7-8). Likewise, each child of God is called to smell of myrrh
of distillation day after day by denying his or her own self life and
walking in obedience to the will of Christ alone (Matt. 16:24-
25;6:10).

SYNOPSIS:
HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
The book of Esther is predicated and affirmed on a sort-of halfway
meeting of the minds. Queen Vashti is indeed banned by King Ahasuerus’ decreed
on the advised of his counsellors and a national beauty pageant is held to find a
replacement. Esther, a Jewess, is chosen and the story of how she becomes the
vessel that God would used to protected the Jewish people by her intervention with
the king is the focus for the Purim Festival. Esther disobeys her husband’s
commands, as did Vashti, but in Esther’s case, she does so with a display of
humility that wins her the king’s favour. In other words, whereas Vashti was
openly rebellious, Esther used her wiles well, Ephesians 6:10-18.
