consort or concubine to the gods just as Esther to the King. Ishtar’s legend focuses on
the 10th month of Tebeth (Dec.-Jan.) in which the modern Christmas celebration also
originates just as Esther does. That is her story and her son Tammuz not Yahusha’s and
it is hypocritical to attempt to celebrate His birthday on the day of this sun god’s birth
and rebirth. There are many more such issues as this story is an occult legend retold as
a Bible story including the god Marduk (MRDKY, Mordechai) and the goddess Ishtar (Esther)
of Akkadian legend commemorating their lore on their timelines.
There is no Biblical value to the Book of Esther and it is not Yahuah’s but that of
Ishtar. Even the celebration of Purim includes a beauty contest many times which is
never Biblical nor a focus on Yahuah but it fits Isthar, the goddess of fertility and sex.
She was consort or concubine to the gods just as Esther was the same to the king. Even
the word “Pur” in Purim means “lot” according to the Bible but that is an Akkadian
word not even Persian also linked to Ishtar, the Akkadian goddess known as the Queen
of Heaven rebuked three times in Jeremiah. If this were a Biblical Feast, the name would
be rendered in Hebrew not Akkadian. It is no surpirse the same Samaritans, originally
Persians/Medians/Babylonians/Assyrians who replaced the Northern Tribes of Israel
when taken away captive, who infused their Persian gods such as Ishtar, Ashima and
Molech into the worship of YHWH and who defiled the Temple in 165 B.C., found a
way to insert their Persian myth into the Bible. The Catholic Church embraced this.
Many do not realize, this was not just rejected by the Qumran/Bethabara community
but even by some Rabbis in that era, there is no mention of Purim nor Esther in the
New Testament, the early church strongly questioned its authenticity and inspiration
especially those in Turkey where the 7 ekklesias of Revelation were, and even Martin
Luther wrote:
“I am so great an enemy to the second book of the Maccabees, and to Esther, that I wish they
had not come to us at all, for they have too many heathen unnaturalities. The Jews much more
esteemed the book of Esther than any of the prophets; though they were forbidden to read it
before they had attained the age of thirty, by reason of the mystic matters it contains.”
–Martin Luther (1483-1546), Table Talk [59]
Martin Luther knew even the Jews in the 1500s had issues with the Book of Esther
being read among the youth due to mystic matters meaning there is hidden Kabbalistic
meaning embedded in this book which demonstrates it is not scripture. That clarifies
this is a Pharisee writing with hidden Pharisee messages to the initiated among the
Pharisees. It is not for us and we need not read it. It is not scripture. However, let’s be
clear, she was a concubine who slept with the King prior to marriage and the story
should be adults only really as the Jews of the 1500s even knew.
If the Qumran/Bethabara community embraced this story as scripture not only
