Esther's Story -

(I know I said I was going to give you a little recap but I decided that the story of Ruth has many areas that can be analyzed deeper so I am doing it in parts and going through it slowly. I promise It's not boring and my sisters are witnesses, actually, because it is NOT boring at all, it is far from that, I decided to take a little more time on it).

Main Characters and Name Meanings -

- Esther = "star" = Hebrew: אֶסְתֵּר

- Spiritual Meaning = "Secret, hidden"

- (P.S She was also reffered to as Hadassah, as if she was onced named so in Esther 2:7. Possible Nickname, Many believe that was her name originally)

- Hadassah = "Myrtle Tree" = Hebrew: הֲדַסָּה 

-  Myrtle Tree (Spiritual Representation) = "The myrtle is a fitting symbol of the recovery and establishment of God's Promises (WOW!!!)‎

- Mordecai (Esther's Cousin) = "Warrior, Follower" = Hebrew: מָרְדֳּכַי

- Haman (Antagonist) = (Arbaic meaning) Noise, Tumult =Hebrew: הָמָן

- King Ahasuerus = Prince; head;chief =  אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ (Old Persian)

- Same as Xerxes I = from the same Old Persian name.= Ξέρξης (Old Greek) 

- Queen Vashti = beautiful =Hebrew: וַשְׁתִּי
