The Twenty-third Day of the Third Month, the Month of Sivan : Esther 8-9

June 19, 2025 By Mordecai Leave a Comment

Queen Esther before the King, Mordecai, and HamanWhat a “coincidence”!!
Today is “the twenty-third day of the third month, the month of Sivan” (Esther 8:9).
This is what happened on that same date in Persia (modern-day Iran) thousands of years ago (Esther 8:1-9):
“That same day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the estate of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came into the presence of the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her. The king took off his signet ring, which he had reclaimed from Haman, and presented it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed him over Haman’s estate.
Esther again pleaded with the king, falling at his feet and weeping. She begged him to put an end to the evil plan of Haman the Agagite, which he had devised against the Jews. Then the king extended the gold scepter to Esther and she arose and stood before him.
“If it pleases the king,” she said, “and if he regards me with favor and thinks it the right thing to do, and if he is pleased with me, let an order be written overruling the dispatches that Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, devised and wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king’s provinces. For how can I bear to see disaster fall on my people? How can I bear to see the destruction of my family?”
King Xerxes replied to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “Because Haman attacked the Jews, I have given his estate to Esther, and they have impaled him on the pole he set up. Now write another decree in the king’s name in behalf of the Jews as seems best to you, and seal it with the king’s signet ring—for no document written in the king’s name and sealed with his ring can be revoked.”

At once the royal secretaries were summoned—on the twenty-third day of the third month, the month of Sivan. They wrote out all Mordecai’s orders to the Jews, and to the satraps, governors and nobles of the 127 provinces stretching from India to Cush. These orders were written in the script of each province and the language of each people and also to the Jews in their own script and language.”

Esther 7-8: The Exact Words at the Perfect Time

December 29, 2017 By Mordecai Leave a Comment

Queen Esther, a Jew, informs the King of Haman’s evil plans to destroy her people.  The King seals Haman’s fate.

The King gives all that belonged to Haman to Queen Esther, and she put her uncle Mordecai in charge of Haman’s house.

God tells us to not be afraid, that He will give us the words to speak in the hour of need.

Again, Queen Esther bravely pleads to the King that the orders Haman had written to destroy the Jews be reversed.

The King, bound by custom and law was unable to reverse the orders, but did issue new orders;

“the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to defend their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to plunder their possessions”
– Esther 8:11

In every province where the king’s commandment was delivered, the Jews had gladness, joy, a feast, and a good day.
