People In Absolute Power Are Absolutely Hilarious (Esther 1:1-18)
A very powerful, very insecure, very drunk, very outraged king decides to pass a revolutionary new law for his citizens. Hilarity ensues.
From the Book of Esther
A very powerful, very insecure, very drunk, very outraged king decides to pass a revolutionary new law for his citizens. Hilarity ensues.
The most powerful king on earth commissions the world’s first Tinder app, and — what a surprise! — immediately “matches” with hundreds of beautiful maidens.
For once in his life, Mordecai decides to stand up for his convictions — but does not get the results he was hoping for.
As first Mordecai and then Esther fall into complete despair, suddenly a turning point is reached.
Esther risks death. Meanwhile, Haman reaches his own crisis point and his wife tells him what God’s will is for his life.
Esther reveals her true identity. Haman and Mordecai change places. Still, the crisis is unresolved — and King Xerxes proves unwilling to do more.
Mordecai writes a new genocidal law to contradict Haman’s genocidal law. But is this really what Mordecai is supposed to do with his newfound political power?
Esther and Mordecai write everything down and establish a new holiday, but not everyone is thrilled with the idea at first.
