The modern Esther story with a dangerous twist
Since the early 2000’s, the Ayatollahs of Persia (Iran) have been developing nuclear technology to advance the “peace of Islam.” During that time frame, even to this day, the leadership of Iran has stated repeatedly that they sought to “wipe Israel off the face of the map.” The United States has participated in a United Nations negotiating team of Britain, France, China and Russia to get Iran to stop its nuclear program. Until now, where the US “president” has taken it upon himself to negotiate directly with the terrorist state that has called for the destruction of both the US and Israel. These negotiations appear to be a ruse to allow Iran to continue its nuclear program under the guise of developing energy.
On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the American Israel Public Affairs Committee saying that “As prime minister of Israel, I have a moral obligation to speak up in the face of these dangers while there’s still time to avert them.” Netanyahu’s contention is that the US “president’s” solution of giving Iran a decade to enrich uranium for “peaceful purposes” gravely endangers Israel. For Iran and Islam, “peaceful purposes” very well translates to “The Peace of Islam,” meaning all nations submit to Islam. The US “president” says that Netanyahu’s visit to the US and subsequent speeches to AIPAC and Congress are a distraction to the greater issue of Iran exercising its nuclear rights.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry is basking in the glory of his new-found diplomatic BFFs (best friends forever), the Iranian negotiating team. Reuters reports that Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif met for about 90 minutes on the first of what could be three days of talks in the Swiss lakeside town of Montreux on curbing Iran’s nuclear program. Coming out of that meeting, Kerry warned, “We are concerned by reports that suggest selective details of the ongoing negotiations will be discussed publicly in the coming days. Doing so would make it more difficult to reach the goal that Israel and others say they share in order to get to a good deal.” Israel has said it opposes Kerry’s deal.
This is a modern story of Esther with a dangerous twist. Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is playing the part of King Ahasuerus of Persia. The US “president” is Haman, the king’s servant bent on destroying the Jews. Kerry is Haman’s lieutenant. Netanyahu plays both Esther and her uncle Mordecai–both trying to save the Jews from destruction.The drama is being played out during Purim, the feast celebrating the delivery of the Jewish people from the execution squads of Haman. Esther 9:28 says, “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.” We all must remember. Pray that the American Haman does not prevail.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
