Proof that the Old Testament is the polar opposite of genocidal ‘zion’-ism

“Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” (Matt. 11:25)

(the next time someone quotemines a commonly misrepresented passage from Deuteronomy, Joshua, or I Samuel to purport the preposterously egregious false equivocation that “Judaism is the exact same thing as genocidal Zionism,” 1) inquire what exegetically sound expertise of Hebrew parallelism they possess and 2) direct them to this article—please and thank you!)

I wasn’t particularly inclined to write too many articles this month, but seeing the endless pile of shamelessly ahistorical debauchery prominent on this so-called “free speech” platform, I couldn’t help but decide on writing this posting sooner than later. Here, we (at least if you’ll kindly stick around—your choice) shall dissect a potentially unforeseen dimension to the Book of Esther that cracks the code. I will try to keep this as short and condensed as possible, so browse the footnotes if you have the time and curiosity to study the details for yourself.

I: Scroll of Esther abridged overview

To summarize first and foremost the important gist of the Megillot Esther (“Scroll of Esther”) relevant to this analysis (I’m IOWs not mentioning every detail):

1. the setting of the historical record was ancient Medo-Persia, more specifically the royal palace in Susa,¹ during a time frame not all exiled Judahites (a.k.a. Jews, the real kind and not modern-day Khazarianist-hexagramic ziowhite supremacists) under Persian jurisdiction were yet restored to literal Jerusalem²

2. the Medo-Persian king Ahasuerus ordains a seven-day feast and on the seventh day summons the queen Vashti, who disobeys his command³

3. Ahasuerus puts away Vashti⁴ and commences a selection process to find a woman in Medo-Persia worthier of becoming queen in Vashti’s stead⁵

4. orphaned Jewess exile Hadassah (listed as the daughter of Abihail), known as Esther, raised by her cousin Mordecai (a Benjamite), was brought to the palace in Susa and selected as the new Queen of Persia⁶

5. when grievous tidings reached Mordecai that the Jews’ adversary Haman plotted the mass murder of all exiled Jews in Medo-Persia, Mordecai informed Esther, who commanded him and all the Jews in Susa to fast for her three days, making supplications to the God of Heaven praying for her obtaining grace in the sight of King Ahasuerus⁷

6. on the third day, Esther, risking her life to approach the king without express direct permission, found grace in Ahasuerus’s sight

7. after Haman’s genocidal conspiracy was exposed, Esther pleaded in earnest humility with Ahasuerus to punish Haman’s (hundreds and thousands of) accomplices, which the king granted⁸—Haman’s ten sons are explicitly named in the record of their execution and their bodies were hung at Esther’s request before Ahasuerus⁹

(take extra note here that Esther did not emerge as an all-powerful superhero of her own accord—she fasted and plead in tearful lamentation before Ahasuerus, and all for the sake of justice and mercy,¹⁰ not ethnosupremacist domination)

II: Esther and the New Testament

Perhaps this might surprise you, but every aspect of the Book of Esther points to Jesus Christ as the redeemer and deliverer of His people from not only temporal man-instigated calamities but also sin. Those points are but an incomplete list of examples of type-antitype correspondence:

1. king Ahasuerus → (type to antitype) → Jesus Christ; the ancient king(s) of Medo-Persia destroyed literal Babylon,¹¹ typifying the true King of kings and Lord of lords who will destroy spiritual Babylon¹²

2. seventh day of the feast → (type to antitype) → seventh-day Sabbath; the seventh day on which the king summoned his wife typified the universally perpetual covenant between God and His people,¹³ the latter described as Jesus’s bride¹⁴ and who keep His commandments¹⁵ and are sealed by the seal of God,¹⁶ which is from-the-heart-sincere¹⁷ faithful observance of the Sabbath days¹⁸

   1. Vashti → (type to antitype) → the literal Jewish nation; just as Vashti disobeyed Ahasuerus’s command to communion with him on the seventh day of the feast, so too did the literal Jewish nation refuse to keep God’s Sabbath days faithfully as they were expected to¹⁹

3. Ahasuerus putting away Vashti → (type to antitype) → God’s revocation of the Mosaic Covenant and literal Jewish nation; as Vashti was cast out of Ahasuerus’s sight for refusing to obey his command to show up on the seventh day, so too did God promise a New Covenant ending the Mosaic one by reason of finding fault with the literal Israelite nation which refused to hearken to His commands²⁰ (after Esther becomes queen, Vashti is no longer mentioned; after the Gentile-ingrafted church in its Judah-Ephraim restoration became God’s completed 12-tribal body, the literal Jewish nation is no more of biblical relevance)

4. Esther picked as Ahasuerus’s wife and the new queen → (type to antitype) → God predestining the Christian church as the true spiritual Israel of God; they become His people, grafted into the vine as faithless Jews in the Mosaic Covenant were grafted out²¹

   1. Esther raised by Mordecai (a Benjamite) → (type to antitype) → the early Christian church brought up by the Apostles²² (namely Paul, a Benjamite²³)

5. Esther, her maids, and Susa’s Jews fasting three days → (type to antitype) → Jesus in the grave for three days; intuitively self-explanatory²⁴—mournful sorrow for the the Pierced One who atoned for the sins of mankind on the cross²⁵

6. Esther finding grace in Ahasuerus’s sight on the third day → (type to antitype) → God’s people reconciled to the Chief Shepherd; only by grace through faith of a self-abased, sincere penitent heart was Esther saved in Ahasuerus’s sight, and only by grace through faith²⁶ of a self-abased, sincerely penitent heart is any mortal human being in humanity ever saved in God’s sight²⁷

7. Ahasuerus grants Esther making an example out of Haman’s ten executed sons → (type to antitype) → God’s people will spoil those who spoil them;²⁸ just as Haman had ten sons, so too the fourth beast has ten horns (kings)²⁹ in the end of time who will be destroyed by the Lord Jesus Christ in the Second Coming,³⁰ where God’s people are to the wicked as fire among wood³¹

Long story short: the Scroll of Esther records that exact snippet of Medo-Persian history the specific way it does for the express divinely ordained purpose of progressive revelation providing a glimpse—ages ago sealed behind a prototypical³² darkly glass³³ but today manifest through the preaching of God’s lowly human messengers—of the gospel (lit. good news) assuring humanity that everyone can look up and find the everlasting Redeemer who paid the price for their sins. Amen!

III: linguistically-etymologically + lexically piecing the puzzle together

Allow us to move beyond milk towards strong meat for those of us equipped to handle spiritual maturity³⁴—let’s study now what the Hebrew names mean:

• “Hadassah” (Esther’s birth name) = “myrtle”³⁵

• “Esther” = “hidden”³⁶ (Biblical Hebrew?) and/or “star”³⁷ (Persian?)

• “Mordecai” (Esther’s familial guardian) = “little man”(?)³⁸ (literally)

• “Abihail” (Esther’s deceased father) = “father of might”³⁹ (roughly)

So to piece together the typological puzzle: Hadassah, a.k.a. Esther, was the daughter of Abihail, orphaned of both her parents, and raised by Mordecai. Let’s substitute the name meanings to unravel God’s mysteries:

“A woman born with the given name [‘Myrtle’], came to be known as [‘Hidden’]/[‘Star’], lost both her parents, including her father [‘The Father of Might/Strength/Force’], and was raised by [[humble and meek] ‘Little Man’].”

Why in the typological foreshadowing of God’s plan of salvation was Esther left an orphan and raised by Mordecai? To show that in antitype, God’s church will not be brought up by a “father of might” who teaches Hellenistic Social Darwinism, but rather grows under the care of (a) humble guardian(s) who, far from lording it over the flock, cares out of a sincere heart for Christ’s tender sheep.⁴⁰

As conveyed by Zechariah the word of God:⁴¹

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

Plus these additional marvelous restorative promises conveyed by the prophet:⁴²

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

¹⁰ And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he [Jesus] shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

¹¹ As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

¹² Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;

¹³ When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.

As this passage clearly conveys, God’s New Covenant will supplant the Old Mosaic one because the New is better⁴³—Jesus articulated a sharp rebuke of earthly theocratic supremacism when He told Pilate, “My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.”⁴⁴

Instead of engaging in earthly battles against flesh and blood,⁴⁵ the biblical exhortation is to turn to the stronghold. And what is that stronghold exactly?⁴⁶

The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

Sound conclusion

Unto the wicked there is no peace⁴⁷—the unrepentant sadistic genocidal nazijew savages of the Fourth Reich are NOT God’s people and NEVER will be so long as they remain in obstinate refusal to repent of their abhorrent depravity. The God of Heaven is the King of Salem, a.k.a. “King of Peace”⁴⁸—“blessed are the peacemakers”⁴⁹ who find peace in God’s everlasting salvation,⁵⁰ who are redeemed from sin,⁵¹ and who keep far away from the wicked.⁵² Not those who follow the god of forces⁵³ and embody Hellenistic Social Darwinist supremacist-genocidal ideologies such as Nazi-Zionism.

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” —Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
