"For if you altogether hold your peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but you and your father's house shall be destroyed: and who knows whether you are come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" -Esther 4:14 (Mordecai speaking to Esther)
King Ahasuerus and Esther The Story of Esther Following the conquest of Babylon, the King of Persia gives a banquet for his people at which he requests the presence of his wife, Vashti. As she refuses the King's demand, Ahasuerus disowns Vashti and goes in search of her replacement. In his harem, he meets the young girl Esther who immediately captivates him with her charm and beauty.
King Ahasuerus and Haman Planned Genocide of the Jews Unaware of her Jewish heritage, King Ahasuerus falls in love with Esther. Esther then reveals to Ahasuerus that she is Jewish and asks him to show her people mercy, because of a planned genocide of the Jews by the King's right hand man, Haman. ______________________________ |
In doing so, she saves the lives of many innocent people and paves the way for their return to Jerusalem (-From the Video's Back Cover) __________________________________ We Rate "Esther" Five Stars This movie is wonderful! It follows the Bible story perfectly, and is filmed beautifully, with excellent acting, especially from F. Murray Abraham as Mordecai. The book of Ester is one of our favorite stories in the Bible. It is the only book of the Bible not to mention God...yet His hand is seen throughout the book everywhere as "coincidences" happen that are in reality the hand of God moving in answer to the prayers of His people. If there were such a rating as six stars, we would gladly give it to this film. -The Prayer Foundation ™ __________________________________ The Esther DVD ... is available as a Free Gift to those making a tax-deductible contribution for the support of The Prayer Foundation.™ For more information on how to obtain your own personal copy, and for a list of other Gifts available to our Supporters, go to our page: Gifts For Contributors! ____________________ ...it may also be purchased through our Gift Shop. ______________________________ See Also: ______________________________ Copyright © 2002 S.G.P.
