With the Hidden

Hands of God the Holy Spirit is always at Work in the Life's of the Believers!

THE HIDDEN HANDS of GOD

The Hebrew word for Hands is

KAF or KHAP : The word hands is symbolic of Crowning and

Accomplishment!

The word

Hands also symbolise the followings : to embrace and fold, power, to tame, bend, or subdue.

The HANDS of GOD not only symbolised Eternity but it holds All of Eternity in them!

According to Jewish Talmudic sequence of the Hebrews Aleph-

Beis teaches: If one carry out what the word Kaf for {hands} stand for, namely learning the

Torah and acting kindly , then

God, will give you, sustenance, acceptance, good and inheritance.

Finally, Yahweh will

affix a crown upon you. There are three types of crowns: the crown of priesthood, the crown of kingship, and the crown of the

Torah, but a fourth one, a crown of a good name – and is said to be superior to them All.

THE HIDDEN HANDS of GOD

Hebrew : YAD { Torah Pointer } and it meaning:

In the Scriptures

In the Scriptures, the word yad is used to refer to a physical hand, but more often it is used idiomatically to refer to the power or the craft of a person or group.

Thus we read of the “ hand of the enemy ,” “the hand of the

Philistines,” the “ hands of Moses ,” and especially the “ Hand of God .”

The Torah Scroll (Sefer Torah) is one of the most precious objects of Jewish worship. To show respect

(and to protect the scroll from dirt and oil from the reader’s hands), a Yad or Torah pointer is normally used while reading. Most yadim are made of beautifully wrought silver. Note: is states that The pointing end of the Yad is commonly shaped like a small hand with its index finger extended.

The Hands of Adonai were also

pierced for us ( Psalm 22:16, John 20:27 ).

God's GRACE has also been defined in this way: G od's R iches A t C hrist's E xpense!

John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Strong Greek: Grace is charis, which means graciousness, of manner or act {literal, or spiritual}; especially the divine influence upon the heart , and its reflection in the life; gratitude, acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace(- ious), joy, liberality, thank(-s, worthy).

Strong Greek : alethes, which means true (as not concealing): true, truly, truth.

Strong Hebrew: Christ is Christos, which means the anointed , i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus : Christ.

Message: The Law of Instructions will always be given by Mankind but GRACE, and TRUTH will only be given through Jesus, the Messiah. So the Bride of Christ must tune her/his spiritual ears always to the Will of the FATHER.

Satan the Enemy of our Souls had thought he Won the War but the Empty Grave of Jesus Christ is a constant reminder to him that he has LOST THE WAR OVER THE

SOULS OF MANKIND FOREVER, if Mankind choose SALAVATION IN JESUS CHRIST .

ESTHER the Almighty

Hands of God was seen in operation and fully demonstration in how He rescued the Jews from the hands of Haman.

The Narrative of Queen Esther in the Book of

Esther – For Such a Time as This!

Hidden

Hands of

GOD

The Chronicles of Esther provide one of the most poignant stories of the Bible, a saga of faith in God that brought life out of certain death.

A young Jewish girl, Hadassah

{ Esther } was positioned by God in the court of the world’s most powerful king ‘ for such a time as this’ , specially for the deliverance of God’s people from genocide .

Esther’s phenomenal bravery in risking her life for the lives of her people is an example of how God creates circumstances and uses faithful people to bring about the greatest of victories .

Summary of Esther - Historical Background

To keep Esther’s story in perspective, time-wise these events occurred between the first returned of exiles to Jerusalem under

Zerubbabel { 536 B.C

.) and the second return under

Ezra ( 458 B.C

.)

The events in the book of Esther cover a period of 10 years {

483-

473 B.C

}. All the occurrences in the book takes place within the same time frame of chapter 6 and 7 of Ezra.

ESTHER opens with a feast {feast of Xerxes} and closes with a feast ( PURIM ). The first was to honour the king and his great empire; the final feast was to commemorate the deliverance of the Jews from annihilation.

Summary of Esther - Historical Background

Date and place: The records of the events of Esther were no doubt kept in the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia {2:21-23;6:1-3:10:2} and the compilation of the facts in book form was perhaps done in Shushan the palace, of Susa , the ancient capital of Persia {Neh. 1:1; Esther 1:1-2:} about

516-506 BC .

Purposes: To show by whom and how the great deliverance of the Jews in all lands came about ; to record the institutions of the feast of Purim; and to reveal the historical background of the liberator of the Jews from captivity – Cyrus, the son of

Esther and Darius the Mede.

Statistics: 17 th book of the Bible ; 10 chapters ; 167 verses ; 5,637 words ; 11 commands ; 21 questions ; one prophecy (6:13); no promises; and no distinct message from God.

The HIDDEN HANDS of GOD

The Book of Esther

Elohim’s hand of providence and protection on behalf of His people is evident throughout the Book of Esther, though His name does not appear once.

Haman’s plot brings grave danger to the Jews and is countered by the courage of beautiful Esther and the counsel of her cousin Mordecai , resulting in a great deliverance. The Jewish Feast of Purim becomes an annual reminder of God’s faithfulness on behalf of His people.

Queen Esther’s Hebrew name was Hadassah , which means “Myrtle” {Esther

2:7}, but her Persian name Ester was derived from the Persian word for “star” (stara).

The Greek title for this book is Esther, and the Latin title is Hester.

The Prophet Isaiah declared: YAH HASHEM is the Rock of the Universe { Isaiah

26:4 }. In a homiletically interpretation of this verse, the Talmud explains that God used the letters Hei , to form the Divine Name , YAH , to create the universe . It is said, that the sound of the letter Hei, is a mere exhalation of breath, hei, that it requires little effort, no movement of lip, tongue, or mouth. This effortless enunciation symbolises the effortless creation of the world – as King David in the Psalm testifies: By the word of

HASHEM the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their hosts { Psalm

33:6 }.

Mysteries of Aleph

In Jewish literature, the upper YOD (meaning an arm) represents the hidden aspect of YHVH , (ein sof - “ without end ”), whereas the lower Yod represents the revelation of

YHVH to mankind.

The Vav , whose meaning is “ hook ,” shows connectedness between the two spiritual realms .

Vav is also thought to represent humanity, since Adam was created on the sixth day . Vav is diagonal since it is humbled in the face of

God’s mystery and His revelation . The two Yods also indicate the paradox of experiencing God as both hidden and close, far and near.

The fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called " Dalet " (pronounced "dah-let") and has the sound of "d" as in "door." The letter Dalet is the fourth letter of the Aleph-Bet , having the numeric value of four.

The bent shape of the dalet symbolizes a

needy person who is bent over (the word Dalet comes from

(dalah) which means to draw out or impoverish, and the word

(dalut) means poor or impoverished).

Dalet and the Pardes

Traditional Jewish sages identify four levels of interpretation of the Scriptures, called ( pardes ), an acronym formed from:

P'shat (literal meaning based on historical intent of author)

Remez (hint, allusion, analogy, allegory)

D'rash (application, exposition)

Sod (mystery, "deep" meaning)

Mysteries of Dalet

Dalet represents lowliness and the consciousness of possessing nothing of one's own . As a door Dalet also symbolically represents the choice to open ourselves to the hope of our dreams or to remain closed off and alienated.

Indeed the word for knowledge, ( da'at ), means the " door on the eye" using the ancient letters of a writing system .

The corner point r epresents the concept of

bitul or spiritual self-nullification . Practice of bitul leads to humility , the doorway to God's house, which is attained by the technique known as devekut, cleaving or clinging to

God :

The Hebrew word for religion is ( dat ), which means the " door of the cross " using the ancient writings.

The Father ( Aleph ) sent His Son ( Bet ) and by means of the Holy Spirit ( Gimmel ) who makes appeal to the poor and needy to receive the grace of the

LORD God of Israel.

As Yeshua said, "Behold, I stand

at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" ( Revelation 3:20 ).

Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1

S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph 1 H = Hey = 5

Insight: The Hebrew word is The Symbol of Support, Protection and Memory.

The closed round letter, represents the idea of Divine support, both in the active sense that

God provides support to man and the passive sense that man relies on Him.

The Meaning of Samekh

The root of the word Samekh means “ to lean upon ,” “ to uphold ,” or “ to support .” The root is also found in the Jewish concept of semikhah , the laying on of hands upon the head of a sacrificial victim in a blood

ritual of the Jewish Temple, which was also a means of consecrating the priesthood (Lev 8; Exodus 29,).

Biblical references to the root occur in Lev 16:21, Deut 34:9, Ezekiel 24:2, and elsewhere. In ancient times,

Samekh may have represented a shield.

Today, the Jewish Rabbinical ordination ceremony is called a

semikhah. Then you shall bring the bull before the tent of meeting. Aaron and his sons shall lay (samakh) their hands on the head of the bull. Exodus 29:10

The Miracle of Samekh

The letter Nun , which immediately precedes the letter Samekh in the alphabet, suggests someone who is “bent,” or someone who humbles himself in brokenness and submission to the LORD

God . Putting these two letters together, we have the Hebrew word nes , which means miracle.

Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1

It has been said, that a person of faith is a walking miracle ! The LORD gives support to the fallen and broken ones who put their trust in

Him.

Indeed, this is directly illustrated in Psalm 145, an acrostic

Psalm that begins it’s verse about

Samekh is as follows :

The LORD upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down.

Note there are Two types BELIVERS operating in the

Earth Realm NOW!

The spiritual connection to the Insight of the Hebrew Word Samekh and the types of Saints in the Earth Realm are that Samekh symbolises and relates to concept of Divine Support, Protection and Memory to mankind from Elohim the

Father . The two types of Saints: SAINTS OF LIGHT & SAINTS OF DARKNESS are symbolic and relates to the two type of SPIRITUAL KINGDOM which is now operating within the EARTH REALM at the same time . However, because of Jesus

Christ’s Supernatural Victory on the Cross of Calvary the Saints of Light will always, overcome the Believers of Darkness in this Earth Realm.

Revelation of the Gematria of the Hebrew Letters

The numerical value of the Hebrew word Hey is FIVE.

The Jewish Talmud states that the

Number five represents: the Holy Ark with its covering cherubs ; the constantly burning heavenly fire on the Altar; the Shechinah, GOD’S PRESENCE AND GLORY; the Divine Spirit and the breastplate of the Kohen Gadol {High Priest} in the Temple. Note the number five is also symbolic of these Words

TRUTH , GRACE, God’s Goodness and Pentateuch { the first five books of the Old Testament }.

The meaning of the name " Hey " is " look ," or " behold !”

When the BRIDE OF CHRIST is in the Presence of the LORD all she or he can do is to look and behold the Glory of HASHEM – ELOHIM THE FATHER OF ALL FATHERS .

The numerical value of the letter Aleph is ONE . The Symbol of Yahweh’s

Oneness and Majesty, One, Unique and Invisible God.

The letter Aleph is the “ father ” of the Aleph-Bet , whose original pictograph represents an ox, strength , and leader .

The small aleph also calls us to teshuvah

{ repentance }. It has been stated that every Holy Letter serves as a channel to connect heaven with earth. The Aleph is seen as a ladder placed on the ground reaching heavenward . Thus the Aleph conveys to man that in order for man to free himself from earthly bondage – he or she must infuse his/her physical existence with spirituality so that he or she can ascend to the summit: the Divine .

SAMEKH also symbolises support and enclosure . Just as the body receives its vitality from the heart, so the entire world receives its spiritual life from the Temple of God. Today, the Bride of Christ is the Temple of

God and the onus is on you to reflect spiritual life to your Generation to the Glory of HASHEM.

The Book of Esther: Biblical Historical Background

The book of Esther is set in the reign of Ahasuerus

(the biblical name for Xerxes, king of Persia 485-465 BC), though the Septuagint version calls the king Artaxeres, presumably

Artaxerxes I Longimanus (464-424), but possibly Artaxeres II

Mnemon (404-359).

The book narrates the life of a Jewish maiden, who is orphaned, reared by her uncle, becomes queen of the Persian Empire , and saves the Jews living in the empire from the scheming of Haman , the Agagite. The Hebrew version it relates to {fifth century}, and may be a product of the Greek period (for example, after 332 BCE}. The Septuagint version, which intersperses another 107 verses , probably took its shape in the second or first century BCE.

The significance of the Book of Esther is that it testifies to the secret watch care of

Jehovah over dispersed Israel . The name of God does not once occur, but in no other book of the

Bible is His providence more conspicuous . A mere remnant returned to Jerusalem . The mass of the nation preferred the easy and have a lucrative life under the Persian rule .

But God did not forsake them. What He here does for Judah,

He is surely doing for all the covenant people .

The book is in seven parts:

I. The Story of Vashti, 1.1-22

II. Esther made queen , 2.1-23

III. The conspiracy of Haman, 3.1-15

IV. The courage of Esther brings deliverance , 4.1-

V. The vengeance, 8.1-9.19

VI. The feast of Purim , 9.20-32

Rosh Chodesh Adar רדא שדח שאר - The Month of March

On the Biblical calendar the month of Adar ( ר ָד ֲא ) is the last

month of the year counting from Nisan (during a leap year it is called Adar

II). Adar is also the month of Purim , a festive holiday which is always

celebrated a month before Passover (Megillah 1:4).

During both Purim and

Passover the children of Israel celebrate God's deliverance of His people , and therefore Adar is considered the happiest of the months of the Jewish year : " When Adar comes, joy is increased " (Ta'anit 29a). This year the month of Adar begins on Wednesday, 22 nd February, and Purim begins two weeks later, under the full moon (for example Wednesday, 7 th March). That means that Passover begins one lunar month later, on Friday, 6 th April

(at sundown).

Spiritual Connection the book of Esther & Purim

The Hebrew word for " scroll " is megillah ה ָל ִג ְמ . The Whole Megillah: Is the Scroll of Esther. God ’s Hiddenness and Disclosure

Much is made over the fact that the book of Esther is the only book of the Tanakh that does not explicitly mention the Name of God .

However, the idea of God's sovereignty and hashgachah ( divine providence ) is clearly implied throughout the entire story. In light of this nes nistar , or "hidden miracle " of the Jew's deliverance, Esther and Mordecai ordained that

Purim should be observed as a " day of feasting and merrymaking " and of sending gifts to the poor

( Esther 9:22,28 ).

PURIM was so named because Haman had cast lots (Purim) to determine the day on which to destroy the Jews .

The Jewish Prayer of PURIM

Blessed are You,

HASHEM, our God, King of the universe, {the God} Who takes up our grievance, judges our claim, avenges our wrong; Who brings just retribution upon all enemies of our soul and exacts vengeance for us from our foes. Blessed are You, HASHEM, Who exacts vengeance for His people Israel from all their foes, the God Who brings salvation.

THE HIDDEN HANDS of GOD

The Talmudic Sages describe the events recorded in the Book of

Esther as the last of the miracles to be written and canonised as part of the

Scripture.

The Narrative of Esther is deceptively simple.

If one were to hear it for the first time as an adult, it would be exciting and suspenseful, but it would seem to be without religious significance , for its plot seems to be a string of coincidences that come together to produce a happy ending.

There are those who see Queen Vashti as a hero, a champion of women and women’s rights everywhere. To these, Vashti represents the epitome of self-respect and self-determinism. The fact that Vashti refused to obey such a heinous request by no means denigrates her, but rather demonstrates the insensitivity and immorality of her husband , King Ahasuerus.

Christ must do a self-examination every now and then to see what types of Spirits are operating in the their life's.

As it befits a Bride of Christ to ensure that she or he is exhibiting the KINGDOM OF GOD’S LIGHT/{ WORDS } in the their lifes and not the

Kingdom of Darkness attributes, for example the Bride of Christ cannot professed

Christianity with their LIPS and then live their life with the CHARACTERISTICS of the KINGDOM OF DARKNESS ; Scriptures references: 2 Tim. 3:2; Exod. 20:3;

Jeremiah 2:12-13; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; Judges 2:3.

UNHOLY LIFESTYLES will resulted in the BRIDE OF CHRIST going to HELL.

Myrrh : Obedience

Unto Death

Strong’s Hebrew : more, myrrh (as distilling in drops , and also as bitter):myrrh .

The spice myrrh comes from a thick gum that flows from the pierced bark of knotted, thorny tree. The gum hardens into red drops called

“ tears ”. The word myrrh comes from a primary root in Hebrew meaning

“ bitter suffering ”.

It represents the bitter sufferings of Jesus as a man on

Earth.

The Greek word denotes a spice used in burial. In the New Testament, the Magi brought gifts to Christ child, including myrrh, a foreshadowing of His suffering and bitter death on the cross (Matt. 2:11

Purification Process of the Bride of Christ

Contd:

The original sense of the word is that of “ distilling in drops ” a slow process of purification. Christ lived a life of distillation, for

“ although He was Son, He learned obedience from the things which

He suffered ” (

Heb. 5:8

). Jesus emptied Himself of His own will, and this culminated in obedience to the point of death on the cross

(

Phil. 2:7-8

).

Likewise, each child of God is called to smell of myrrh of distillation day after day by denying his or her own self life and walking in obedience to the will of Christ alone (

Matt. 16:24-

25;6:10

).

SYNOPSIS:

HIDDEN HANDS of GOD

The

book of Esther

is predicated and affirmed on a sort-of halfway

meeting

of the

minds.

Queen Vashti is indeed banned by King Ahasuerus’

decreed on the advised of his counsellors

and a national beauty pageant is held to find a replacement.

Esther

, a Jewess, is chosen and the story of how she becomes the vessel that God would used to protected the

Jewish people

by her intervention with the king is the

focus for the Purim Festival

.

Esther disobeys her husband’s commands, as did Vashti, but in Esther’s case, she does so with a display of humility that wins her the king’s favour

. In other words,

whereas Vashti was openly rebellious

,

Esther

used her

wiles

well,

Ephesians 6:10-18
