About this listen

Step into the golden age of the Persian Empire, where a thriving nation of Jewish merchants teeters on the brink of destruction. In this gripping retelling of the Scroll of Esther, we unveil untold strategies, high-stakes intrigue, and daring decisions that changed the course of history. Though God's name is absent, with a slight of hand, He watched the events with delight.

Brimming with miraculous turns, clever schemes, and moments of unexpected humor, The Court Intrigue sheds new light on the ancient wisdom of the Book of Esther. As fate and faith intertwine, this epic tale echoes the legendary struggles of Joseph and Moses, offering readers a thrilling journey through one of history's most profound stories of survival, cunning, and redemption.

Using a brilliant two-pronged plan - Prosperity and Pain - Mordecai saved the Jews from assimilation and extinction. Prosperity: Mordecai established a vast commercial conglomerate, leveraging the peaceful Persian empire and its new royal roads with the Jewish pilgrimage tradition, to create trade routes connecting all the empire's cities, which brought prosperity and influence to the Jews for millenniums. Pain: Anticipating that jealousy and hatred would arise against the Jews' success, Mordecai harnessed the anger to bring about pain and misery, much like God did with slavery in Egypt. He skillfully promoted his enemy, Haman, orchestrating a confrontation that united the Jews in a daring struggle for survival. The Jews' victory was memorialized with a new holiday, ensuring generational survival.
