I pray for everyone who put thumbs down maybe one day you will found your savior. Thank you God for saving me. Thank you skip for another sermon in my language to understand God words. Amen
His sermon's conclusion was brilliant connecting the closing story of the book Esther like God's invitation to us into his kingdom through Jesus his son.
Thanks for the info on the corresponding books being read with a designated Jewish holiday!! It gives me a deeper meaning for those books and a greater understanding for each holiday!! I learned something new!! Thanks
Thanks Pastor Skip. An excellent historical account of God’s providential Hand working in human affairs. (I say “historical account” and not “story” because “story” implies fiction). For sure Haman was like Hitler on steroids in wanting to exterminate the entire Jewish population throughout the entire Persian Empire in a single day! But God orchestrates the great reversal and the Jews instead destroy 75,000+ of their enemies - in a single day. Haman’s grand plan is burned to the ground - just as Hitler’s will be 2500 years later. God bless.
Dude !!!!!!! I have been listening to your… Bible from 30,000 feet… and man they are inspired… is there somewhere I can find s play list from Genesis to Revelation please… I love and I never use this word unless I can use it for its intended meaning… I love these studies and Skip Gods unique gifting for teaching He has given you… I have no idea how or even why you might need my God given gifting, but if you fellowship does then I will help… I am in the Yorkshire UK and i am a sculptor… May God Bless you and keep you may He cause His face to shine upon you… upon all of my brothers and sisters in the faith at Calvary Church… AMEN…

Thank you pastor for breaking down the old testament book. Question who ordained Ezra? A Priest? A prophet?? A n Editor? Who was he was he prejudice? Telling men to abandon their wives and kids because of racial what ever? Don't know. Thanks.
I enjoyed the sermon, thank you. However just to let you know Philip II of Macedon wasn't born for another 100 years from that time. However, Xerxes was looking for military support probably for the battle of Thermopylae as you suggested.
Thanks for your teaching on Esther. Curious what translation you may be using or what extra-biblical text you reference. At 25:45 into the message you share that "...Mordecai hears of this (the "beauty contest"), and he goes oh, I'm going to take my cousin Esther and put her in this beauty contest." All of the translations I can find seem to indicate that the most beautiful virgins were being "taken". Esther 2:8 says that, "...Ester was taken to the king's palace into the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women." Would appreciate some help/clarity on your statement. - Thanks.
If "approaching the king" was dangerous (as stated at 4:11), how could Esther have "informed" the king of the plot to kill him (as stated at 2:22)? (I think I know.)
Kathy, yes, I completely agree. She took the risk of displeasing the king and getting herself killed. In addition, she intended to accuse two men whom the king had entrusted with his safety of plotting to kill him. So I think when the king realized what she had done for him he wanted to reward her by giving her up to half his kingdom. But he waited a month before he decided to reward her. Can you imagine why he waited?
Very profound. Same thing they tried to do with the black race. The devil needs to understand that him and his demons cannot eliminate a race. Only God the creator can do that.
I enjoy your messages. I know we all mis-speak from time to time. I say that just to bring attention to the fact that the kings are in the wrong order. These names are crazy hard but the order as I know it is: Cyrus; Darius I, Ahasuerus (aka Xerxes); Artaxerxus his son by Vashti. I was getting confused, so went back to check. I also don’t think Esther had a choice. I know this is an unknown but what dad or father figure would willingly subject their child to separation from home and family + a life of being summoned for sexual pleasures. None of those 400 “gathered” were ever allowed to return home. Such an extraordinarily sad and deprived plan. I know I would have been hiding my granddaughters’.
The part about Haman being a descendant of Agag was crazy!!! Love your teaching 🙌🏾
Thank you Pastor Skip, for your wonderful teaching❤🙏

Esther, a Jesus Type! ☝❤
I feel holy spirit
Providence ❤️
Pastor I like how you break it down, it's so insighful
Now King Xerxes was the ruling king
From India all the way to Cush
He lived a luxurious life
A lavish life of plenty and much
A big beautiful banquet
He hosted his third year
The who's who of everyone
Was expected to be there
Nobles and princes of the provinces
Were quite excited and certainly eager
The guest list included Persian military officials
All of the important leaders
The king wanted to impress his guests
He thought of many ways
Xerxes displayed his wealth and glory
For a full 180 days
He showed everyone the gold
The pearls and the silver
White linen, costly stones
Purple material, marble pillars
At the end of the party everyone had plenty of wine
The Kings wife, Vashti, and
The women partied at the same time
King Xerxes was high in spirits
From the wine on the seventh day
He commanded Vashti to come to him
Put her beauty on display
His AIDS delivered the message
The queen refused to go
The king burned with anger
How dare she tell him no
He called his team of advisors
Who understood the times
They said he must do something
Concerned about their own wives
They will dishonor us
If she can dishonor you
Send her a way to never again
Never to approach you
Let this be known to all
Make it an official decree
Then find someone else to be queen
Who is better than she
When the other wives hear this
Then they will all know
To obey their husbands and
Much respect they will show
Please with the advice
The king did what they proposed
Message delivered and received
Let every man rule his household
(By Esther Coleman-Spells)
Now don't U love them ole days when things were clear, when men were men and women were grateful, knew their place or else?
Yeah brother, blessed be the old days.
Thank you pastor for breaking down the old testament book. Question who ordained Ezra? A Priest? A prophet?? A n Editor? Who was he was he prejudice? Telling men to abandon their wives and kids because of racial what ever? Don't know. Thanks.
Esther - Purim
there is reference to prayer because Esther says that she is going fast
You can get hamantashen at Whole Foods in Albuquerque.
I enjoyed the sermon, thank you. However just to let you know Philip II of Macedon wasn't born for another 100 years from that time. However, Xerxes was looking for military support probably for the battle of Thermopylae as you suggested.
Prayer was mentioned as Esther called the Jewish people to 3 days of prayer and fasting prior to going to see Xerxes.
Amen ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for your teaching on Esther. Curious what translation you may be using or what extra-biblical text you reference. At 25:45 into the message you share that "...Mordecai hears of this (the "beauty contest"), and he goes oh, I'm going to take my cousin Esther and put her in this beauty contest."

It was dangerous if he hadn't summoned you.
Kathy, yes, I completely agree. She took the risk of displeasing the king and getting herself killed. In addition, she intended to accuse two men whom the king had entrusted with his safety of plotting to kill him. So I think when the king realized what she had done for him he wanted to reward her by giving her up to half his kingdom. But he waited a month before he decided to reward her.

Question for Skip Heitzig
How do we know Mordichai put Esther in a beauty contest? Scripture says she was taken
Very profound. Same thing they tried to do with the black race. The devil needs to understand that him and his demons cannot eliminate a race. Only God the creator can do that.
I enjoy your messages. I know we all mis-speak from time to time. I say that just to bring attention to the fact that the kings are in the wrong order.

Pastor SKIP , Arterxerxes was Xerxes'S son, not the other way around, I know it must have been a slip.
A AA plus
, 7 @far from daniel
Mordecai's name is in it at least 40 times. Mordecai the Jew. Could be called the Book of Mordecai?
