In the kingdom of Persia, the biblical scripture of “The Scroll of Esther” sparks the story of Queen Esther and her Uncle Mordechi—a legendary fairy tale of grace, faith, and courageous tribalhood leadership, a timeless legacy that echoes into the heart beats of those who choose to be believers.
Haddasah Esther, who glowed with pure light and grace, has been given a role fulfill by God. Chosen by the hand of the Almighty, she rose to a position of great influence and honor and served a purpose far greater than imagined. Her spirit was touched by humbleness and true humility that seeked to worship God, honor faithfulness and look out for the salvation of a tribe.
Esther’s courage and brave leadership marked deliverance. In times of desperation, she sought the Lord, unifying her people and tribe to unite spiritually by fasting and praying, asking for God's redemption from annihilation and the darkness of evil. Mordecai’s words spoke an immortal message, “Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Within these words is not only a call to action, but also a declaration of faith in God’s divine plan and loyalty.
True believers are servants first: Servants of God, and servants of the people's welfare. Let this biblical Megillah’s majestic frequency radiate hope and faith into our hearts and souls to serve God who shatters us in trials that seek to overcome us. May we stand strong and firm in faith, walk in the light of Esther’s and Mordechai’s glorious heritage and the Lord’s unrelenting providence.
The Scroll of Esther, or Megillat Esther in Hebrew, is one of the five scrolls in the Hebrew Bible and is a Mitzvah to listen to its reading during the holiday of Purim. The Megillah is read twice during the holiday, once on Purim eve, on14th of Adar, and again in the next morning on Purim holiday. It's read aloud in synagogues; it is customary for the congregation to use noisemakers to drown out Haman's name whenever it is mentioned. The entire scroll must be read from a kosher parchment scroll, with every word being heard by those in attendance.
In cities surrounded by walls that existed during the time of Joshua such as Jerusalem, Purim and the Megillah reading are observed one day later, on the 15th of Adar, in what is known as Shushan Purim.
