PURIM: Book of Esther #2 - Achashverosh Rise to Power

let's go let's try and obsook him um I'll tell you in advance I don't know if we're going to get past three and that sounds a bit exaggerated but they're packed you know we want to try and understand it just the basic shots with the weather so if you remember we said last week yeah the bullet points were number one why I have to read every Pursuit we said the vinegar and says right because in every Pursuit they're going to go and says you see something with a nest we learn from the from from the from each person that's number one number two foreign that all the safarim of the katoovin will he seems to say Bartel only the Magilla will carry on to exist but the rambam seemed to say we say what's so special about the megillah again we mentioned that it was something special it was all in Hudson there's no open Miracles it wasn't anything Hashem you know from the open Miracles it wasn't the time of that it wasn't inherit Israel with a bit of Dash like it was in Hanukkah it was in galoud we were downtrodden we'll see it's the end of the god of the 70 years of and nevertheless Hashem stole these wonderful Miracles that will be it hidden Miracles which we said that refers to as atsat Hashem we'll see again and again as he turns the screws in people's minds as a bit of the rights in his safer and that's why it's so important um we said that and the the the the idea of Purim which again we're going to see from here was is how the rambam says in I think encephal mitzvot that we learned from Purim that prayer works it works remember I said last week if you look at it I know if you notice the next day Hashem when you're saying already right and you see in Chakra you see at least five or six times again again answers right anyway that was in a nutshell now says the first person what we're going to do is we're trying to also rushi where there is Russia there's not actually that much Russia on Magilla right yeah not in every Pursuit for sure not and then we'll do the gonna go on yeah together okay now if you'd like to open up your let me get up Esther everyone's got it open yeah now the Rashi says you can look at that you've got in front of you but actually it says who ruled after courage at the end of the 70-year Exile in Pavel now um it says he remained in his reshut in his evilness from the beginning till the end Russia doesn't say how we know that he just said it's a fact that um now the the vinegar on explains why I'm sure you're aware of this that he says when it says there were two in English and I said no it isn't England it has a limit in English there's an English word of saying anyways they were one was the father of dariavish right was because now Rashi explains she two things right she says we'll see two comments he says one was uh yeah who was the king what does it mean who ruled over because he was a ruler he was not a king right because I'll say it was actually a stable boy he took off to the Royal the Royal uh horses and the Royal Stables that's about as far as he got but he was a stable boy which we'll see more of that later on um actually explains what is me holding by Kush means which basically means he was a world ruler he was a king over the world that known the Civilized world as was known at that time and the villagon explained that's another reason why we know this was that's what he's trying to tell you who he was meaning on the world whereas the first yeah who was the father actually but this was wonder which one it was he was the one who was a world leader okay now gong says now again he says Rashi says a very important comment this thing he was he was a commoner it's a very important piece of information we're going to see more right how important it is again I love what I'm saying apart from what's in the gundagon itself is with brave their rights and talks about now it says 127 million now um the villain explains as follows he says um it says in the medrus that of the 127 provinces countries a hundred of them were um dry land on continents whatever yeah part of a continent and 27 were Islands 27 miles how do we know so if you go to the end of the Magilla Parikh yud right to end the mcgilla parake youth that's why it's good to see inside yeah foreign what's the gamatri of mass 40 and 60. that's a hundred countries which were Allah arrests 27. yeah I am here that's what we know I was 100 very nice why am I mentioned when the God says but Roberto points out in the middle of the Magilla when we'll see later on when Esther comes and he likes Esther which is all big Ness right and he's trying to get out of her where she comes from a nationality Etc told not to say anything so he took off the tax of the whole world certain world tax you know I mean where it is I'm sure they didn't have problems of making taxes here it was on on me it was on someone else whatever it was always an excuse for attacks yeah and he took it off because he wanted coaxer to to say you know shorty she was 127 countries she wasn't for many of them but anyway right because she was Jewish but and he figured therefore to be so happy they took off you know the big tags so therefore um you know she would get the thing and then we see later on that who was a Money Lover when Harman says to him you know look you know what the Jewish people was genocide between me and you it's hard to believe right he was Hitler's right hand man or whatever and he took the ten thousand you know shackles of the Hammond get over to him he said Money Money Talks took ten thousand check where it was even let's say it was 10 trillion dollars he took 10 trillion dollars and then just yeah wipe out a whole nation for money this is the richness of however realizes that Esther is not from any 127 so the yase my money for are we getting good money over here I took over the tax for nothing so Roberto points out from the beginning middle and the end all his mind was on money right that's what he cared about egoistic money we'll see covered and didn't go too Hoots about anyone even if it made millions of people's lives so that's yeah that's it helped understand what gazelle mean when Rashi says he didn't change you understand and that's and inkling that to know how well the nasty character the guy was you know I don't think it was an idiot right some people say make us hormone was this evil it was no fool Roberto points out he didn't get become king of the world because he was an idiot right you know he was a very clever politician let's get it straight you understand he was the first Democrat he was very clever guy anyway okay now um and it says in modern Hebrew means um country so we're going to go and explained it means the capital city or large city but it was a Royal City and therefore when he meant the Royal cities the men and the countries that go with them okay yeah okay where is the next person and it was in those days when the king of rashware sat on his throne which was in shushan habira now this is a very queer Pursuit yeah first of all um what's going on over here Rashi says when it says um when he gained like full control over the monarchy only in the third year trying to say over here only in the third year he became king three years ago right he wasn't the king he didn't have control what happened you with me what's Russia referring to now second of all why in the third year what was special about the third year ever thought about it what's special about the third year also now what happened thirdly which is the most obvious question when he was sitting on his throne as opposed to what a king doesn't sit on his throne yeah you want to say something happened in the third years what she says something we're going to see he got complete control whatever it was but Kings in those days had the throne you know that's what they did so it's like obvious you know you want to say something happened in your third year yeah exactly yeah driving his car I mean what you know what what team does he make what's what's the big deal foreign towns it was in in Miami Beach and what did it make where it was yansan she was a fancy place I'm saying what okay so I'm about five times um I mentioned it before but anyway yeah now so now the the vinegar on Goes to Town yeah one second um first of all we said before we said a minute ago Roberto points out he said Rashi says but revden makes a whole Asic album that was a commoner the end of the day clever guy right astute politician but he was not Royal Blood in those days you know Royal Blood meant something still in England you know the remnants of what it means maybe you know the world but there was a real thing Kings were Kings you know I'm saying he went through well not some I got in the first place is a bit of a nest right if there's only monarchy anyway he managed to sort of convince everyone but we see that's another thing he married vashti vashti was a daughter belshazza who is the son of nebranesa so vashti was an anarchal right she was a granddaughter was a fearsome King I think we mentioned before no the majority must say that whenever ruled no one smiled through his entire ring no one smiled can you imagine this today they were so petrified people lived in fear the whole time you came back with us today it's crazy [Music] that's true yeah but I mean Russian stuff are depressing people depressed people but it's true yeah when I was in Moscow 20 30 30 years ago was just after the Iron Curtain came down a year and a half after and there's two KGB people walking around they weren't in control they couldn't do anything then but Boris yelpson remember bossy helped him I remember I needed to Young and and um and yeah no it was a depressing place I was there the end of the winter wherever everyone just walks around you know like they weren't not happy people you understand but it's true you're right they lived in food no they probably did they people were going to take you know they had on every floor when in the cage you know in the Communist rule they had KGB people like and every floor and every apartment block there are people just there just to see what was going on and listen to people said anything you don't say well be a picture but you're right that's important example let's not get off track they'll shout out with his son the vashti was his daughter was shelter's daughter says she's one of the most beautiful women that have ever lived in a physical Beauty right not necessarily you know she was a big rashanta she was no Jew lover that's for sure part of this thing was that he whined and died imagine that was his way in he was married to a queen his wife was royalty you understand his wife was royalty you know they knew it fine so bye so he was out to impress do you understand good afternoon Chris and he the one the big ways impressed he wanted to have a fancy throne he wanted to show he has the Fancy's Throne he ever saw in your life you understand made a big impression I think her Chinese only started in America you understand it started in Paris or madai you know a few thousand years ago no really yeah two and a half thousand years ago now um the now what he wanted to do was his father he wanted to sit on hameler's Throne Shalom had a magnificent throne the target Cheney explains einstall bits quote and what I understand of it it was obviously solid gold there were six gold steps going up to it they were going lining up going up all together 70 Lions of pure gold 70 Eagles of pure goalkeep imagine that you know the the carvings a lot of people gold above the throne somewhere there was like a Goldman Nora there was something on top of that with like pipes coming out there were like 24 golden grapes it was something like solid solid gold you never seen anything like it was fantastic it was magnificent wanted to sit on that throne if he can sit on that Throne oh that's you know people are gonna oh that's impressive you know I mean that is something no no no no one second not through now the problem was that other monarchs tried to do this in the past one of them was a pharaoh one of the Pharaohs of Egypt tried to do this and he um they say that the the Lions or the Eagles were but not obviously not Kishore because I mean they were had life to them they came to life this is not Ghostbusters or anything women just saying they don't get excited but they they could this is yeah it came to life and when Pharaoh went up a lion bit him on the thigh and he was Lim he became limp he's known as Pharaoh the limp that's what was happening so you know wanted to stay a whole nice you know he wanted to look good because he might be limping around anywhere but he wanted to look good so he had a brilliant idea he thought he's going to get someone to make a replica it's the beginning of the fake you understand the first the first fake thing was in 2000 years ago fake Throne theatric a good fake did you understand it was still going to be gold but it wasn't you know the throne that came to life it looked pretty good and he could only find The Artisans to do this in shushanapira this town this town was a was in Hicksville somewhere not even heard of it so much and he found people to do it now um the they worked this for a while and how long do you think it took them to make it three years three years yeah three years right and as it says the next person right vishna I probably right and he made this Mister now he made his mistake because now the third years right the third year after my red Russian is the next person I'm quite confused right with the next person but it says he he he built this throne and the only one explains we snapped when it says and in the third year he made this party that's because that's when the throne finished and soft soft finally he can come and whine and die in the world on this fancy Throne to understand that's what's going on now um what used to be in in in the kings of parasu madai all the government offices Statesman Royal palaces Etc all in Buffalo they took over bubble from right yeah that's why I mean because it Courage whoever took over he beatbox was it Courage foreign who took over with madai right the son of the first he beat the Babylonians and took over here her father was never was killed but big Russia anyway so Evan was there in Bothell they kept everything there all the government offices so now if you were he's got this thing in his head he wants to show him show off and do this and he's stuck because um the throne was so big it couldn't be moved it was physically impossible to move it was so big and massive and a solid gold it could move so if if you are so you got this dilemma he's got this Throne he wants to desperately sit on you know and how many hundreds of miles away in shushan for years now everything has been in bubble what's he gonna do so remember to say He suggests you know he could have had like the Queen of England had you know both was it was it called the balbarrel a holiday you know vacation had it you go for the summer you know and then the whole summer he'd whine and dine and everyone come and he'd show off over there you know and leave everything in in Bothell what does he do it says he moved the entire government offices Statesman everything to shushanabira he built a royal compound in shushabira you understand which is ridiculous that's crazy yeah why why do you do that yeah now um why was this why did he do that are we getting late so if you if you look in um in peric where is it now Carrick bed yeah one second peregrated it says the following it says uh one second no no paper here one second not there one minute hey sorry hey it says yeah it says which is [Music] and he was exiled three times and he finally rested up in such a bureau was going to be the key player in the Yeshua the salvation of the Jewish people as I read the points says that Hashem prepares right Hashem even though there was going to be able to explain why there was Xavier what happened Hashem had everything ready if we're going to do truva then everything's already there yeah the refuel is there before the Makkah right the medicine you know the healing thing is there beforehand with Esther being his hair with his niece whatever it was was going to be the ones which were going to bring the Yeshua when credits are going to do he was in sushi said that has been around enough he's been exiled back and forth and this and that enough but he needs to be the key player I'm going to take the whole of the world monarchy and move everything to social you hear that that is going to go on is why he had this wacky idea to move everything to shushanabira and I thought they could be moved and that's why I decided that and it's on this guy says I mentioned you last week why you have to read every single person because in every single Pursuit is telling you something to do with the nest which we said Hashem seems like we said a completely random Pursuit why are you doing he's obviously sitting on his throne with an Xbox hook in the third year what's going on over here although going on this is ready but even again we still got 200 bips okay
