Feast of Purim: Pastors Mark Biltz and Art Palecek officiates as El
Shaddai Ministry children and adult readers retell the story of Esther in two
skits and a dramatic reading complete with costumes, boos for Haman
and cheers for Esther and Mordicai. Esther 1:1-3 Now it came to pass in
the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even
unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:) That in
those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom,
which was in Shushan the palace, In the third year of his reign, he made a
feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media,
the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:" The choosing
began in the 3rd yr. of his reign. Esther 9:21-28 "To stablish this among
them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the
fifteenth day of the same, yearly, As the days wherein the Jews rested
from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from
sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make
them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and
gifts to the poor. And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as
Mordecai had written unto them; Because Haman the son of
Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against
the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume
them, and to destroy them; 25.But when Esther came before the king, he
commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the
Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be
hanged on the gallows. Wherefore they called these days Purim after the
name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which
they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
27.The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon
all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they
would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to
their appointed time every year; 28.And that these days should be
remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every
province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from
among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed."
