Ahasuerus is mentioned as a king of Persia, hes also xerxes 1. Before invading, Xerxes implored the Spartan king Leonidas to surrender his arms. Leonidas famously replied, “Come and take them”. Xerxes intended to do just that and thus moved toward Thermopylae. xerxes did have a slave army. the startians did have catapults and greek fire back then as well. im thinking that ahasuerus was the same period as abrams and lot in the bible.
I love the book of Esther! In this amazing historical account of the Jews, "God" is not mentioned even one time in all 10 chapters. Yet, we clearly see the Lord's omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnisapient (all-wise) grace at work. The great truth that we learn is this: WHEN YOU CANNOT SEE THE HAND OF GOD AT WORK, TRUST THE GREAT HEART OF GOD. God bless you friend. = -)
After reading Scriptures from The Bible, these movies popped up. While reading I often visualize the setting, scenery, etc it’s though my visions have come to life. Our God is miraculous, Glory be to God! Amen!😇
Did God killed himself I am what I am. I'm the beginning and then end. (Death 1). I am the alpha and Omega second death. Jesus died on the cross (death number one) Jesus was also alpha Omega the end. It's in every Bible look it up. For it was written, Amen.
I was done with this movie 30mins in once I saw. All the servants were BLACK. True biblical history, It was the "other way around ". But because white supremacy makes all the bible movies🙄🤨
All this death because two people got their egos snubbed.Add in a stupid childish king that makes decrees while drunk. .Didn't see hide nor hair of God
Praise be unto God for our Greatest King of all King's Jesus Christ Our Lord who is the Lord God of Host's, and who being King of the Universe, yet gave up His own life to save us All. Amen Hallelujah to our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen 👑✝️🕊🎶💕✌🇮🇱☮🌎😇💖🌌 ~PDZ~
God works in mysterious ways and hung his enemy high for all to see … reminds me of the old saying give a man a long enough rope and he will hang them self .
The Old Testament is written exclusively by men. They wrote what they wanted to portray, how they wanted to portray it. It wasn’t even malevolent- it’s a natural bias, which can still be harmful. I’m surprised someone like this known philosopher can’t understand that. It’s upsetting.
Why I have always loved The story of Esther is that even when she had to hide who she was by changing her name even then her new name still showed her faith. Isther which is the name of the goddess that her name was based on Symbol is a 6 pointed star. As well as she was loved by all and as shown in many movies with really no desire to be Queen which made her Queen.
Hello mother likes this Bible verse all I have is that a virtuous wife who can find for were ever nations you find yourself is because of the virtuous woman in the bible. I think it's is a very pleasant and beautiful thing that you see yourself all over the world 🌎. Remember it's my RSV bible and no other. Thanks Cynthia 🇬🇭

Read Esther a few times but the movie brought it to life. And Hannon's gallows will be happening again shortly
This is well-made film, excellent acting, not to mention the story itself. Seeing F. Murray Abraham in another classic acting role.
REALLY GOOD👍👍♥️♥️
1:11:22 I love the delivery on that line. It's says "BLOW ME TO BERMUDA!!" 😆
But seriously, it's probably the most accurate account of Hadassah compared to One Night With The King.
Great movie Thank you God Bless all in Jesus name Amen

Jesus died on the cross (death number one) Jesus was also alpha Omega the end. It's in every Bible look it up. For it was written, Amen.

FUNNY HOW THE JEWS PORTRAY THEMSELVES AS "'THE CHOSEN PEOPLE"' WHEN THE BOOK OF ESTHER MAKES NO MENTION OF GOD,, NOT EVEN ONCE !!!
Amazing story of Esther. I'm glad I watched it.
the thumb of that woman i would say is not a good portrayal looking not pure or decent or modest
Why I have always loved The story of Esther is that even when she had to hide who she was by changing her name even then her new name still showed her faith.

The constant ads every five minutes make it very hard to get into the movie 😕
