Amazing Prophecy Found In The First Chapter Of Esther

Did you know or have you ever wondered how the kings, from the east, knew about the star, under which the Messiah would be born? Many scholars have conjectured that it was Daniel, who told them. This was due to Daniel being in charge of the Magi. However, you can find an amazing prophecy, in the first chapter of Esther, which is pointed to, in the end ceremony of Purim.

As the celebration of Purim draws to a close, many non-rabbinic Jews, who believe in the Messiah Y’shua, takes a step back and dwells on a story about a King, who divorces his disobedient wife, and through a sevenfold counsel decrees that he will take a virgin bride, who’s father is Abihail, which means “My Father is Mighty”. His divorced wife is “gazar”, divided, cut off, casted out of the King’s house.

At the end of Purim, there are many questions asked, but one is most intriguing.

How does this Bride come to the King?

This is answered by the congregation citing the names of the seven “Partam Sar” Noble Princes or Chief Prince, which are

Carshena
Shethar
Admatha
Tarshish
Meres
Marsena
Memucan

Taking the meaning of their names, we get:

The Illustrious One, A Sleeping Lamb. A Star will be his testimony to them at the sea coast. He will be Lofty, Worthy and Dignified.

Is this the true meaning of Esther, chapter one. Check out the rest, with us, as we go through the rest of the Book.

Y’shua said, “You search the scriptures and in them, you think you have found eternal life, but they are which testify of me.”
