The Vitalized Voice

Once upon a time, there was a personality whose name was Hadassah which
translated to “Myrtle.” An orphan who was adopted by her older cousin, Mordecai, and a
woman belonged to the Jewish community to create an echo for the strength of the
Jews and women. The novella had started after a marked history in which Judeans
were captivated in Babylonia and termed as the Babylonian Exile.

A day which it drew the story to come up was through the party of the King of
Persia, King Ahasuerus, also called as King Xerxes, where on the final day of merriness
his queen revamped it all. Queen Vashti, the wife of King Ahasuerus denied his request
for she did not desire to be flashed around the people bringing the King to be enraged
from the act. The trouble put the queen to be extracted from her position and let her be
free from their marriage. The King made a grand beauty pageant to have his new wife
and Esther, a hidden identity for Hadassah to cover her life from everyone, who won the
competition and prompted as the new queen of the Persians. As for Mordecai, he was
elected to be in position as a minor functionary to work for the government of Susa and
aided this narrative to contribute a history in the period. He reported to Queen Esther
regarding a plot of assassination by the King’s own chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh,
where they were planning to execute the person behind the highest position in the
palace. This ended to the suspects’ demise wherein the event stated them to be
arrested and hung soon after the revelation of Mordecai.

Next on the sequence came a vicious chief councilor, Haman, an official who
was a descendant of the Amalekites, ancestral enemies of Judah, and this lead the
cousin of Queen Esther into a conflict because he did not accept to bow down to the
councilor. Haman arranged an absurd machination to remove the Jews from life
throughout Babylonia and thought to confiscate all their belongings where the King
agreed to this insanity. Mordecai knew the conspiracy and grieved as he wore sackcloth
and ashes making him went to the grounds of the city crying because of the decree of
the King and later on Queen Esther perceived the happenings. Mordecai requested his
cousin to push her to speak with the King so he could amend his first plan for the Jews
and to gather enough solidity, the queen asked the Jewish citizens to fast for three days
and three nights. After so, Queen Esther confronted the King for a favor and expressed
her hopes to stop the madness on the second banquet she prepared for her plead to
save the innocents and also risked to expose her true identity to her husband.

The tables turned and the King had ordered to hang Haman in his rage on the
very gallows Haman set up for Mordecai beforehand causing an irony for the
unfortunate chief councilor of the palace. Mordecai was promoted in Haman’s title and
King Ahasuerus mandated a law that all who hold a denomination of Jew can secure
themselves against hostile people to their group. The people celebrated under the
delighted festival of Purim and here brightened the deliverance of God to their nation.
The story of Queen Esther bravely encountered a tragedy for her people yet conquered
even the greatest threat in their time because of the one and only Almighty who had
given Esther the voice to empower the prey.
