Esther 5-7 3 min read · 5 min listen

'If I perish, I perish.' Esther risks death to expose the plot. Haman hangs on his own gallows.

The Setup

Alright, so first things first, we're in ancient Persia. It's a time of big palaces, bigger parties, and some serious court politics. King Xerxes is the guy in charge, and he loves a good feast. But it's Queen Esther, a Jewish woman, who’s about to take center stage.

Esther’s cousin, Mordecai, has uncovered a plot by Haman, one of the king's top officials, to annihilate all the Jews. Things are tense because Haman's got the king's ear, and he’s already got the death decree signed. Esther knows she has to do something, but approaching the king without an invitation? Yeah, that’s a death wish.

So here we are, with Esther ready to risk it all. Her words? "If I perish, I perish." She’s about to throw a banquet and turn the royal court upside down.
