For candee88 : Bible and God?

While Esther doesn't specifically mention God I think it is important to point out that God works in a number of different ways. Miracles, working through chosen people and providence to name a few. In this book providence is the main theme.

When we read the book of Esther, we never read God’s name. But many of the things that happen in the book could not be "just luck." Take, for instance, the time that King Ahasuerus could not sleep and his servant "just happened" to read the records of the time that Mordecai saved the king’s life (Esther 6:1-3). Or the fact that Ester is chosen as queen, out of thousands and thousands of candidates for queen and she ultimately saves the Jewish people. In fact, the entire book of Esther shows that God’s guiding hand was behind the scenes to save the Jewish nation. Esther’s guardian, Mordicai, once said said to her: "Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this" (Esther 4:14). His statement shows that he was seeing God’s possible plan for Esther.

Wow, that is a great question. I hope you find this information on the value and the book of Esther and why it is a part of the inspired Hebrew canon helpful. While no other Bible writer makes any direct quotation from Esther, the book is completely in harmony with the rest of the inspired Scriptures. In fact, it provides some splendid illustrations of Bible principles that are stated later in the Christian Greek Scriptures and that apply to Jehovah’s worshipers in all ages. A study of the following passages will not only show this to be so but will be upbuilding to Christian faith: Esther 4:5—Philippians 2:4; Esther 9:22—Galatians 2:10. The charge made against the Jews, that they did not obey the king’s laws, is similar to the charge raised against the early Christians. (Esther 3:8, 9; Acts 16:21; 25:7) True servants of God meet such charges fearlessly and with prayerful reliance on divine power to deliver, after the splendid pattern of Mordecai, Esther, and their fellow Jews.—Esther 4:16; 5:1, 2; 7:3-6; 8:3-6; 9:1, 2.

As Christians, we should not think that our situation is different from that of Mordecai and Esther. We too live under “the superior authorities” in an alien world. It is our desire to be law-abiding citizens in whatever country we reside, but at the same time, we want to draw the line correctly between ‘paying back Caesar’s things to Caesar and God’s things to God.’ (Rom. 13:1; Luke 20:25) Prime Minister Mordecai and Queen Esther set good examples of devotion and obedience in their secular duties. (Esther 2:21-23; 6:2, 3, 10; 8:1, 2; 10:2) However, Mordecai fearlessly drew the line at obeying the royal command to bow low before the despicable Agagite, Haman. Moreover, he saw to it that appeal was made to seek legal means when Haman conspired to destroy the Jews.—3:1-4; 5:9; 4:6-8.

All the evidence points to the book of Esther as being part of the Holy Bible, “inspired of God and beneficial.” Even without directly mentioning God or his name, it provides us sterling examples of faith. Mordecai and Esther were no mere figments of some storyteller’s imagination, but they were real servants of Jehovah God, persons who placed implicit confidence in Jehovah’s power to save. Though they lived under “superior authorities” in a foreign land, they used every legal means to defend the interests of God’s people and their worship.—Phil. 1:7.

That's where the whole nation prayed and fasted. They would pray to God.

I think everyone knew it. So the situation in this book was the most

important thing. They all knew, did this, so not required.

And since the other books do talk about God, then you do have

something like over 40 some books to use about God. Are you sure

this is a serious question???

There are different ways of looking at things, and various people have questioned various books of scripture at various times. What is your point? YAHUSHUA offers you life, yet most people refuse to accept His gift.

because the truth is Bible has been wrote back by unresponsible human with 1001 lies and addition due to their wanting.i hope you study another trustworthy religion for sure

I suggest you stop caring. :3

Because the bible is a book full of lies and contradictions.

the point is reading increases your knowledge and vocab

Lol thanks... this has in a way made me smile... spiritually speaking, lmao
