Boy, do I love getting together with you for these Bible studies because you know, the word of God is alive and it will speak. Matter of fact, let's pray right now. Let's pray that the words that are in the book of Esther are going to leap out to us today. Speak to us, Lord. Let our spirits come alive to hear what the spirit is saying. Open our eyes to see wondrous things in thy law and teach us today what you want us to hear. That we might live life in the spirit and walk in a manner that is pleasing unto you. In Jesus name. Amen. The book of Esther is in my opinion one of the most interesting books of the Bible. Unique in that, you know, it was one of the only books where as the canon of scripture is being debated, what books are inspired, what books aren't inspired. I got friends of mine that are into the book of Enoch, lance Enoch, because Jude and Peter both quote Enoch. You won't find their quotes in the Old Testament. They're quoting a book. But that book was like, it was a contemporary book of writings. But it didn't pass the wif test of being inspired scripture. Remember, somebody had to sit down. This is the word of God. But at the end of the day, some people had to figure out which books to put together into the thing we call the Word of God. Esther was debated. Why? Well, Esther was debated because God's name isn't mentioned every other book in the Bible. God is all over the place in the book of Esther. Some had problems with the fact that, well, we can't argue with the story and the historicity, but where is God? That's what's cool about it. It's the book of the hidden hand of God. You could say it's the book of God's providence. So you could say it's the book where instead of having the shepherd David, who is one of God's sheep slaying the big giant, this is the book of ninja sheep. Esther is hidden in Persia. Her identity is hidden and God's name is hidden. Here's the interesting thing. With the advent of computer technology, you could take the entire manuscript and look at it and suddenly you can see patterns showing up in the letters eight times in the book of Esther. God's name, his nature or certain words are written in there. And I'm going to share that with you when we get to it. But I want you to know that the words, Let me see. I want to give you an example of sealed in the acrostics, the first letters of Certain sentences or certain leap over certain. Every eighth letter says this. It's concealed in the acrostics is the almighty Messiah. I am Yahweh, Yeshua, and even in Esther, if you Count Esther, chapter three, verses 11 and 12, and you count every sixth letter 10 times, it forms the sentence Haman the Satan Rachel, which means Haman and Satan stink. How about that? Embedded in the code of Esther. So we find out that God's name is indeed there. And what's really interesting is every time there's a point in the story where God is reversing a curse, the words are written backwards. In other words, God's name as Savior or Yeshua or Messiah is backwards in those sentences because it's a reversal of what the devil wanted to do. Makes you think, doesn't it? I mean, I've heard mathematicians talk about the Bible and they make extraordinary statements about the intricate precision and symmetry of the scripture, almost as though it was written by a super coder, someone who was a genius at coding, such as an extraterrestrial intelligence, such as God. Anyway, we're going to read this book where God's name is never mentioned, but God's hand is always revealed. And we're going to read it with the understand where the. We'll maybe cover some of the embedded code that's in it. But the feast of Israel, called the Feast of Purim, which is happening this month, is why I'm doing the series. The feast of Purim is commemorated in Israel because what happened in this book was so important to the Jewish people that they commemorate it as part of an annual tradition to remember. Why? Because the Jewish people are once again, you see it in the United States. Seven million people, eight million people, monopolizing all of our conspiracy chat threads because the Jews are this and the Jews are that. That spirit that hates the Jew that has been what you'll see the Prince of Persia operating in history that despises the Jewish people is at work again and again. And we have to be aware of where that is. By the way, you can get this. Just go to lancewallnot.com Esther E S T H E R and you can get a hold of what I'm teaching today. You get a hold of a booklet that goes with it too, which is called the Billy Graham Prophecy. He was buried right during the feast of Purim, the feast of this book. That's why I said there's an interesting connection between Billy Graham and. And the history of the United States and the feast of Purim. I'll reveal it to you in this booklet. But you can go there, by the way. You can get it for your gift of any amount. So I want you to have it for whatever you can afford to do. 809-106349. Write the numbers down. 800-910-6349. And get a hold of it. All right, so let's start with this book. Now, it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, who also goes by the name of Xerxes. So some of these rulers have more than one name. You have to know that. But in the days of Asuerus, who was also Xerxes, he reigned over 127 provinces from India to Ethiopia. A large territory in those days. When King Aschuarus sat on the throne of the kingdom, which was in Shushan, the citadel, that is in the third year of the reign, he made a feast for all of his officials and servants and the powers of Persia and Mede and the nobles and the princes and the provinces being before him. And when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent majesty for many days. 180 days. How would you like to go to a party that's 180 days long? Well, you make your trip, you come over, you hang out there and. 180 days. What's that? 3, 6, 9, 12. You're talking like five months or six months of partying. Well, that's a pretty. That's a pretty rich kingdom there. You bring in your rulers, but you want to impress them with the fact that you got it together, because once they leave you, you might not see them for a long time. But they remember, don't mess with them. We got a strong government back there. So when these days were completed, the king made a feast that lasted a special seven days. So this is the. This, you could say this is the crescendo where he probably had his most elite of all come in before him. And from great to small, in the court of the garden of the king's palace. And there were white and blue linen curtains fastened with cords of fine linen and purple on silver rods and marble pillars. And on the couches were of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of alabaster, turquoise, white and black marble. It's quite an opulent kingdom, don't you think? And they serve drinks in golden vessels, by the way. Why am I reading this? You know why it's called the Word of God. I think sometimes we just go rushing through the feast to go Cherry pick little revelations and little royal dainties here and there. I think we need to slow down and realize the every word is here. Why is God going into the great detail of this? Maybe because there's a parallel, I'm about to read, between the kingdom of heaven and man's realm on earth. And maybe the implication here is that when the king is in his residence, he it's opulent and it's great and majestic, and when he calls for his bride, the bride has to be ready to be put on display and ready for her role. Because the story you're going to see here, which is the reason why I think there's a spiritual message here, is that when God as a king, as a ruler, calls forth his bride, which is the church arrayed in holy and majestic splendor, if the church isn't ready for its assignment, then what happens is. Or if in this case. Well, let me not get ahead of myself. You don't know the story. I'm just going to read it. We'll discover it together. So they served drinks in golden vessels with royal wine in abundance. And it was all because of the great majesty and generosity of the king. See, the parallel here, I think, is there to the Kingdom of God. In accordance with the law, the drinking wasn't compulsory. You didn't have to do anything, but everyone could eat and drink according to their own pleasure. You were free, you weren't. You didn't have to do anything. We're just going to hang out here for seven days and celebrate the fellowship of the kingdom. Now, Queen Vashti, his wife, made a great feast for the women in the royal palace that belonged to the king. And on the seventh day, the great crescendo of 180 days of feasting. And then seven days, and on the final great day, he was in a happy place. And so the king was merry with wine and he commanded Chmehuman and Bisra and Habonah and Bikhta and Abacha and Zecher and Kag. Now, why are we listing names here? Well, it goes to show that there's a certain company that is in the council of the King. It's also going to show you that it lists 20 different names of who those are esteemed highly in the court of the king. And Haman's name isn't one of them, because this is a prophetic book about the persecution of the Jew through history. And what you'll see here is this book actually has a remarkable parallel to the Antichrist and to the final end time persecution of the Jews in the final purge to annihilate Israel and annihilate the Jewish people, which is yet future. But this book is speaking to the end time church. You'll find. And I've said this, the book of Haggai, the book of Zechariah, that which refers to Ezra and to Nehemiah, which includes Esther. These books are end time books. Please. We are all bombarded with so much information. You could almost go, yeah, well, whatever. Listen to me. I was just recently going through some old books and ordering some books that are kind of classics written by like one guy you probably never heard of, contemporary of Derek Prince, whose name was Vincent, Alan Vincent Allen Vincent was a great missionary apostle in India and a great Bible teacher. And out of nowhere, I just. I saw the Kingdom at War was one of his books. And someone said, oh, yeah, I know who it was. Someone said to me, you need to get Alan Vincent's book, the Kingdom at War. I said, I never read Alan Vincent. I always heard about him. I get the book. What does he say? Talk about how God does confirm things. The books regarding Cyrus returning to power and Israel becoming a nation again and the Jews going back with Zerubbabel, the books of Haggai and Daniel and Esther and Nehemiah and Ezra are the end time books that talk about the pattern of what will happen in history when the Jews get back into Israel. It'll kick in. That same code will begin the history that wraps up. Wraps up with the Messiah coming. All right, so that's why I'm interested in this book. Queen Vashti makes the feast after seven days. Everybody's listed here. Haman isn't one of them, but Haman is about to appear like the Antichrist out of left field, shows up out of nowhere, and suddenly is the central, most powerful, intriguing force with sinister occult power ruling over the destiny that will affect Israel. The Antichrist is going to show up in this book anyway. Queen Vashti before she. He wanted to bring her out there wearing her royal crown in order to show off her beauty to the people, the officials. For she was beautiful to behold, probably the most beautiful woman in the whole, you know, domain of the king. And the king wanted to show off to the guys, his trophy wife. Well, evidently, this is the problem with men and women. Goes all the way back to the book of Esther because she was offended. Wants me to come out there in my skimpy little outfit and dance around and pose for all of his male friends. No, I'M not. She probably was feeling like she's with her royal other women. She's been there impressing them with how important she is. She's not going to go jump and do a little ditty for her husband in front of his friends. Well, Queen Vashti refused to come to the king, and therefore the king was furious and his anger burned within him. And the king said to the wise men who understood the times, what to do, the culture of the hour. And he said, you know, you know how the laws are of our country and those closest to him. And it lists who all of them are. And like I said, Haman isn't among them right here. And the seven princes of Persia and Media who had access to the king's presence and who ranked highest in his kingdom. What shall we do to Queen Vashti? According to the law, she didn't obey the king's command. And Memuchen answered before the king and the princess, Queen Vashti has not only wronged the king, but also all of the princes and frankly, all the people who are in the provinces of King Osiris. For the queen's behavior will now be known to all their wives and all the women, so that there's going to be a new model. Hey, if that queen could withstand her husband and despise him, I guess that's the new culture here in Persia. And then the men are going to be despised in the eyes of the women. When the report goes that King Asuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in before him and she didn't come. Such an interesting idea that what's modeled at the top becomes replicated everywhere else. That was the wise men. Well, that very day the noble ladies of Persia and Media are going to say to all the king's officials that they heard of the behavior of the queen. Thus there will be excessive contempt and wrath. If it pleases the king, let a royal decree go out from him and let it be recorded in the laws of the Persians and the Medes so that it will not be altered that Vashti shall come no more before King Ahasuerus. And let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she. When the king's decree, which he will make is proclaimed throughout all his empire, for its great empire, all the wives are going to now honor their husbands. They realize, hey, you can get fired from your position. She did. She lost that crown. You hear what happened? He asked her to come out. She said, no, he just fired her. He is going to get another queen now. Oh. Oh, yeah, that's right. Remember that, honey, I'm telling you how the Bible is putting it. So the reply pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Mamuchen. Then he sent letters through all the king's provinces to each province in its own script, to every people in their own language. And each man should be master in his own house. Hey, guys, let's get it together here. Can't let the women run us over like that. Speaking the language of his own people. Now, I'm talking about the Scepter of Esther. I want you to get this. And I very seldom do a supplemental book with more. But the teaching here, I heard it and I thought I got more. I added it in here. Get it together for whatever gift you got. You just want to pay postage, be my guest. It's my gift to you. If you want to do it that way. 800-910-6349 or lancewallnut.com Esther, now, what could be the spiritual message in this? Why don't you listen to me? Jesus. It's always about Jesus. It's always about Jesus. If you can't find Jesus in the story, it may not be. You might not be interpreting it at the highest level. Here's what I see in my own, you know, rabbinic tradition. I see Jesus coming before his people and the people rejecting him as king. And do you remember what he says? You had the privilege of the kingdom given to you. You had the covenants, you had the patriarchs, you had the promises, you had it all. And I am now the fulfillment. You've rejected me. Therefore, the kingdom shall be taken from you and given to a people who will honor me and will bring fruit from my kingdom. I'll find that verse, we'll look it up, and I'll bring it back to you later. The kingdom shall be taken from you, Israel, and given to the Gentiles. The Gentiles will honor me. They will respect me. And then listen to this. In fact, I will not come back to you in Jerusalem until you say Matthew 23:39, until you say, blessed are you and welcome are you, who finally comes in the name of the Lord. You are the representative of God. Till you say Jesus come, I won't come back. You've rejected me. I'm putting you in timeout. I'm going to be faithful to you. I'm going to fulfill my promises. I'm going to bring you back into the land. I'm going to repopulate you. I'm going to protect you from all the Hamans that keep trying to annihilate you. And I'm going to turn your hearts finally to look upon me differently. And you'll call and invite me in. That's when I'll come back. So Jesus is doing a great work in Israel now, which a lot of dumb gentiles don't understand. Beware of the virus of Haman. Haman is slithering out. Tucker Carlson gets a Haman vibe every now and then. Candace Owens got bit by the Haman serpent. A lot of wiggling lips are out there in the body of Christ. Oh, the Jews. Oh, Israel. It's Haman rising. It's the Antichrist coming on the scene. The atmosphere is getting set for it. That's why I'm teaching you. The church rose up as the bride beauty, because the call to be the bride was rejected by Israel. Do you see that? And I'm not rejecting the Jewish people. Obviously. I can't do that. I've got family in Israel. I'm like 20% Ashkenazi. But here's what I'll tell you. Vashti rejected the summons of the king in his generosity and his power in the same way the Jewish people rejected the kingdom and it came to us. You are the Esther that God raised up. You are the Esther company And our obedience and fidelity is to protect Israel until they could turn and say, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Satan wants to wipe them out. We will not let Haman succeed. So I feel the Holy Ghost right now. I'm giving you a Holy Ghost interpretation of chapter one of Esther. Now, if you don't mind, I recommend you get your Bible, put this thing on pause or whatever you want to do, and get your Bible, because you'll get much more out of it if you actually read it and have a pen. I'm reading the new King James. I could have read the niv, but the NIV sometimes lacks the grandeur and the majesty, the punch and the personality of the King James. And although old King James is a bit thou and thee, so I do the new King James. So after these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus subsided, I'm in chapter two right now. He remembered Vashti, what she had done and what had been decreed against her. This is the guy who does stuff. You know, you'll find this out. He decrees it. It's kind of like he creates stuff that he's not so sure what to do with. It, once he creates it, he decrees things, and then he's got to fix it. So the king's servants who attended him said, look, let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king. Let the king appoint officers in the provinces of his kingdom that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan, the citadel, under the women's quarters, under the custody of Hegai. Hegai, the king's eunuch. The king's eunuch. All those guys really paid a price to be in that entourage, huh? And custodian of the women. And let beauty preparations be given them. Then let the young women who pleases the king be queen instead of Ashti. The thing please the king. Yeah. Bringing all the beautiful, young, sumptuous virgins into the. Where the eunuchs are, they're not going to do anything. And I'll pick the one that I like the most. One giant beauty pageant. In Shushan, the citadel, there was a certain Jew. His name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite. So for the tribe of Benjamin, kind of like Saul and kind of like Paul, Kish had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been captured with Jeconiah, the king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had carried away. So you see, the Jews are in Persia because of God's judgment on them. And he said, I'm going to just scatter you. So upset with you. And so I'm going to burn down that temple. You think that's God? That's not. I built that for me, and you won't honor me, so you're not going to have a house in it. He burned down the temple, destroyed Jerusalem, scattered them away. And Jeremiah prophesied, 70 years. At the end of 70 years, God's going to bring you back. And sure enough, prayers went forth. Daniel prayed right into the administration of Cyrus, the king. He met with Cyrus for three years face to face, brought to Cyrus the fact that this Jewish people here and me, you know, God really has raised you up for a purpose. A divine decree written up by Isaiah shows him the scroll 100 years before you were born, one of our ancient prophets, and that mentions you by name. See that, Cyrus? Your name's in that ancient scroll, Cyrus. The spirit of God comes on him and says, then this people will go back and build a great house and pray for me. You stand in good with the Almighty. You're a unique people. I want you praying for my Administration that we'll be blessed. Daniel said, we'll go and do it. So now they go back to the land. Now catch this. They go back, 50,000 of them, they go back and what do they do? They go back and they rebuild the temple and they restore the walls and the gates. But what's happening back there in Persia, a lot of Jews hung around after the 70 years. So here's the point I'm going to make because I only got three minutes left in this. The book of Esther is about how God raises up or allows to raise up Haman, because Haman is a persecution against the Jews who, who stayed where they were no longer really supposed to be hanging out. See, the challenge here is a whole bunch of Jewish people actually succeeded in Babylon. They did good in Persia. Jeremiah told them, you're going to go for 70 years. But look, here's the deal. Seek the blessing and prosperity of that of the city in which you're in, because as they're peaceful, as they're prospering, it'll spill over to you and you'll have peace and prosperity. And so plant gardens, have children. You're not in your home country. That's, that's the judgment, but that's the sober lesson. But God isn't forsaking you. He's going to take care of you where he sends you. Seek the prosperity of your city. Which is why I tell Christians, seek the prosperity of your city. Yeah, we're kind of like where I'm passing through. I mean, I think we got in America, we got a great, great place to hang out on our way to heaven so far. But seek the blessing of your city, be involved with your community because you're the Jew in a foreign country. You're the believer in a world that is under the power of darkness. So keep pushing back on the darkness. On the school board and the city council run for office, support your sheriffs that be involved in preaching the gospel and coming alongside of institutions and push back where evil. Because in the prosperity of your community, you are prospered. That's the promise of Jeremiah. But they stayed a little too long. And so what happens is God raises up a people, a remnant who will be the key to the survival of the Jews who didn't go back when God opened the door and fulfilled the promise of go rebuild the temple, go rebuild your city. Well, Jesus, this is the story of the Jews that didn't leave. Just remember that. So now Esther comes along. She doesn't have a father or a mother. Chapter 2 verse 7. The young woman was lovely and beautiful. And when her father and mother died, Mordecai took her in as his own daughter. Now, here's something interesting. Someone pointed out to me once Moses is separated from his parents, Esther's mother and father die. That you want to, you know, you would remember that even though you don't have a mother or a father, and some of you don't listen to me right now, God promises to be a father to you and a nurturing mother to you. God will take the place of what's been lost. And some of the most extraordinary favor that was ever done in the Old Testament for Joseph separated from his father and mother, Moses separated from his father and mother, Esther lost her father. The great favor of God is very often upon those that don't have the parental structure, the family they need the covering they want. And so you call out to God and say, lord, you alone will have to be my covering, have to be my protection. For you single women, you'll have to be my husband until you provide the husband. God delights to show his favor on people like that. That's a story in there. Anyway, she answered the king's decree and now we're going to talk about this favor she obtained. Favor. Supernatural favor will come upon many of you as you hear the story of Esther. Get the scepter of Esther. Get the accompanying prophetic guideline as to interpreting it and understanding it. I love the word of God. You're going to have a great time with us. 1-800-910-6349 lancewallnow.com Esther, your gift of any amount, just get it and read along with me. We're going to do this for a little while, these Bible studies. God bless. Did you enjoy this latest episode?

Episode Title: Hidden Code in Esther UNSEALED by Computers + Modern Day Hamon Killed at Purim
Host: Dr. Lance Wallnau
Date: March 9, 2026
In this engaging Bible study, Dr. Lance Wallnau explores the Book of Esther, diving into its unique place in scripture as a text where God's name is hidden, but His providential hand is ever-present. The episode highlights fresh insights brought about by computer-based analyses of the Hebrew text, the recurring threat of anti-Semitism represented by Haman, and the book’s prophetic relevance for modern believers—especially in the context of Purim.
Wallnau weaves together scriptural exegesis, prophetic parallels, and exhortations for spiritual readiness, drawing connections between the Jewish people’s historical experiences, present realities, and the church’s ongoing call to stand with Israel.
On the Codes in Esther:
“With the advent of computer technology, you could take the entire manuscript and look at it and suddenly you can see patterns showing up in the letters... Embedded in the code of Esther.” (05:10–06:45)
On the Spirit of Haman:
“Tucker Carlson gets a Haman vibe every now and then. Candace Owens got bit by the Haman serpent. A lot of wiggling lips are out there in the body of Christ... It’s the Antichrist coming on the scene. The atmosphere is getting set for it.” (27:00–27:40)
On God’s Hiddenness and Providence:
“We’re going to read this book where God's name is never mentioned, but God's hand is always revealed.” (07:41)
On the Transfer of Covenant Favor:
“The church rose up as the bride beauty, because the call to be the bride was rejected by Israel. Do you see that?... You are the Esther company.” (28:30–29:05)
Dr. Lance Wallnau’s exploration of Esther goes far beyond a simple retelling. He connects deep scriptural insights, historical warnings, and modern-day challenges, all while encouraging spiritual vigilance and practical engagement in the world. By blending discussion of Bible codes, prophetic parallels, and calls to support Israel, this episode offers both theological depth and urgent exhortation for contemporary believers.
