Esther 7

7:1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2 And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

Reading this on-going story of Esther, a Jewish young lady that was chosen by the King of Persia to be his next wife after he got rid of his former Queen, Vashti, for not heeding to his beck and call, I just have to point out some things.

1. The Jews were taken to Persia
2. They looked much the same as the Persians

Why do I say they were taken to Persia. Because the Jewish people failed to abide with God's Commands, He allowed them to be over-run and taken as slaves to the Homeland of the Medes/Persians. That direction is not south to Africa but east of the Land of Israel. Persia is a land of Semitic coloring. In fact, they even consider themselves not Arabs but Aryan.

The name Esther is related to the word "hester," meaning hidden. For nine years, until Haman's downfall, Esther guarded the secret of her ancestry. She never told anyone that she was a Jewess. Examining her situation, we know that as the wife of Achashverosh she was constantly pressured to reveal the truth. Yet she withstood this pressure. Why?

Her cousin, Mordechai, who had raised her knew there was something unique about Esther, besides being beautiful. She was a righteous woman and he believed it was Divine providence that she would become the wife to a none-Jewish king.

If you have been reading these scriptures the last few days, you'd know that Mordechai was, himself, prominent within the Persian Kingdom and well aware of Haman's hatred for the Jews. This cousin to Esther guided her into the necessary steps it would take for her to become the very tool of God that would save the Jewish people.

Had she revealed her ancestry, she would have defeated this purpose. She therefore carefully guarded her secret until the proper time.


Next, If the Jewish people were black as some claim, Esther could not have kept her identity a secret during the period of time she was prepared to be presented to the king, upon being chosen by the king and later to have found so much favor with him as to dare to come to him to make a request without first having been beckoned by the king.

She took her own life into her hands when she made the move into the king's presence and He had come to love & respect her so much that he took the scepter in his hand, extended out to show that she was welcomed to come forward. People do not realize the great move she made and the faith in her God, in order to invite him and the man (Haman) who was plotting the death of all the Jews in Persia to her home for a meal. This story of the Bible gets more and more interesting as it continues.

This is all being said is to show that scripture bears out witness to the fact that Esther, a Semite, blended in with the Persian population. The fact that she was of Jewish blood was not even suspected.

It gets a bit tiring to hear claims that the tribes of Israel are Black based on a desire and lots of misdirected history.

One issue they point out is that they have been slaves all of these years and who do we think of when we hear the word Slaves?

It seems no matter how one tries to point out that it is not just the Blacks of Africa that were slaves but the Jews who are of the off-spring of Shem, the white son of Noah as the Book of Enoch and Jewish writings attests.

Scripture is full of evidence of the Jewish people used as slaves to other Kingdoms because of their disobedience to The Great I Am and it continued on to WWII in the Holocaust.

Those that say the Holocaust never happened in the great numbers of Jews that died, are splitting hairs in order to make a case for themselves, as a race for being the true Israelites.

Why is it this race issue is being made so strongly now among those of faith?

Do you suppose, this is another plot of the Illuminati to make sure there is this racial division among the believers? I think so.

Our faith in Yahshua is about His Shed Blood for all people. Let history remain true according to scriptures.

I certainly do not care about a person's coloring but I do care about the misrepresentation of the Word of God.

I say this in the Love for the Word of God.
