As a Christian, I found the book of Esther in the Bible is an intriguing one... The tables end up being turned on all the villains and they are killed and their evil schemes are turned against them. An ancient “boomerang”.

The Book of Esther is ancient Jewish propaganda, the same kind that goes on to this day.

We are told by Jewish biblical writers that the king of Persia was "evil" and wanted to eliminate the Jews. We are never told why. We are never told the other side of the story.

There is a reason that Jews have been kicked out of more than a hundred nations over the centuries - and it was not because the leaders of those countries woke up one day and decided to be "evil." Maybe they were fighting evil instead.

As a Christian, I agree with what you are saying. However, since God Almighty is in control of all things, as Christians believe...he would not allow this book to be in the bible if it wasn't for a good REASON. Therefore, I need to understand the LESSON in this book...because I know that the Jews disobeyed God, as well as killed his son. That being said...the lesson is still there and it is RELEVANT to what is going on now. It serves as an EXAMPLE that evil people, when the good come together, can defeat that evil and turn their plans against them. AKA: Boomerang.

"We are told by Jewish biblical writers that the king of Persia was "evil" and wanted to eliminate the Jews."
