ESTHER 1 | BIBLE STUDY WITH ME
I'm SO excited to be doing this new Bible Study With Me series through the book of Esther! In this Esther chapter 1 Bible study video, we are covering the historical context for the book of Esther, meeting some of our main characters, and beginning to set the stage for the story that is about to unfold. All throughout this book we will see one important theme: God's seeming absence does not mean He has abandoned His people...we may not always be able to see how He is working, but He is always is. 💛

“Let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes so that it may not be repealed, that Vashti is never again to come before King Ahasuerus. And let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she." | Esther 1:19

I've already learned SO much just from chapter one! What's something you learned from this chapter?

The reason why vashti disobeyed the king. Maybe it was because he was making her do something inappropriate and she had wisdom and modesty to not yo do it. So much wisdom thank you for helping me understand and go through the first chapter of Esther :) God bless

I'm looking forward to doing Bible study every morning through your videos. This was a great start for me to delve into the word of God. One insight I got from this study, is that Vashti was removed from the throne to show what a woman of God would do differently to a king who is stubborn and to a community that has strong ideas to be followed. I wouldn't blame Vashti for what she did, but that was her purpose. God has unique purposes for each and every one.

That Esther had a different name. Also, I liked how you gave the name meanings. I'm so thankful for you and how you do things by the bible. God has blessed and will keep blessing you. Thanks you don't know who you inspire. You don't do what you want you do what God wants you to do. Your so influential. I wish I took your advice but I learn the hard way. God warn me and so did my friends. Don't give up being you. I liked the Bible study this is the first one I watch. Can't wait to see how God uses you and your husband. Xoxo RACHEAL

I didn’t know that Esther had a different name and that her Jewish/Hebrew name meant myrtle which comes from a tree a beautiful tree and has significance in the Bible. My mother has two of those trees planted in her yard. Thank you for this lesson.

Where the Bible is silent, we must be silent and don't speculate. The Bible doesn't say that the king wanted Vasthy to show up naked. He wanted her to wear her royal crown, maybe meaning that she has authority.
I never knew that the reason Vashti disobeyed might have been to preserve her dignity. Very interesting!!!
Thank you for this message of encouragement. It gives me hope. Please pray for me. I can’t seem to catch a break lately. I am a single mother with two beautiful children that suffer from autism. I lost my job as a social worker because I declined the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions. Lupus and heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption from Forsyth hospital. Every month is a struggle to not end up homeless on the streets. Even though I’m getting food stamps it’s still not enough. I literally run out of groceries in the middle of the month. I’m embarrassed. Im in fear every day because we have nowhere to go if we do lose our home. I have no family or friends to help me. I’ve been put down and mocked over my circumstances. IM SO ASHAMED. I’m tired of crying out and asking for prayers. I want to give up but my faith in God is too strong. I will continue to have faith I know our Heavenly Father will provide for me and my children abundantly. Please pray for us. Thank you. God bless.

God bless you sweet sister. You are doing everything you can, now stand and wait on the Lord. He will fight for you, you need only to be still. The Lord who is El Roi, is the God that SEES you, He see's the single mother, remember Ishmael's mother? He saw her. He SEES you and your children. Hang on sister. He makes all things New, and He will give you years renewed, He will provide all you need, he will restore all that was broken, and give back more to you than what was stolen. ❤

This chapter just goes to show that everyone in life is place for a specific reason. Vashti action where ultimate in accordance to God's will, without her actions Esther life wouldn't align with his purpose.
A revelation I received while you were speaking about the different reasons why Vashti may have refused to go to the king was “God will make room for you.” Regardless of the reason why Vashti refused, she had to be moved out of the way so that Queen Esther could get into position. Great study!

Your channel is exactly what I have been looking for. I really want to understand the bible and all of the stories that Jesus wants us to know. I have been a Christian all of my life but as I have gotten older I am so spiritually hungry for all knowledge of Gods words. Thank you so much ❤
What you said in the beginning about Esther's name(s) was fascinating! It's very cool that her Hebrew name, Hadassah, means Myrtle. Myrtles are a symbol of love and are interesting in the light that they keep other plants from growing near them, like the love of God in our hearts prevents things from hurting us ❤
Thank you for your obedience to God. These Bible studys really help
just finished watching through your Ruth series yesterday as our sunday school just covered that story and it was incredibly encouraging doing the Bible study with your insights and teaching. just know this series will be great too - love that it's focused on another Biblical woman; would LOVE to see more series centered around women in the Bible! 💗
I love this and love how you unpack everything Kaci! So excited to see what happens next!
Thank you for this. This was my first step in truly putting my faith in the lord. I prayed he would speak to me through this random book I decided to start reading and all the key points are truly speaking to me so far. I appreciate this so much. I’m a baby Christian and need to keep growing

I love watching your videos! The Bible puts more responsibility/judgement on those who teach and I highly respect people like yourself who step into that role! Plus you do such a great job breaking everything down. Very much appreciated and keep up the great work!
Thank you! Cannot wait to start this Bible study with you!
very excited for this one! Thank youu again Kaci!
I just stumbled upon your page and did the first chapter today. I'm thrilled that I found you and looking forward to continuing this study with you!

What a thoughtful video! This video is sure to be a blessing to a lot of folks. Nice job :)
So excited to start this study. Recently got an 8 week study of Esther called Summoned then saw this video 😊 I learned just how massive the land that ahasuerus reigned over. Wow this man was powerful
this was such a good study. I love how you broke it down
You are really good at explaining things well. I am new to Bible study. Love your video so far. ❤

Hi I have just stumbled across your Chanel now after reading The book of Esther this morning I want to get deeper into the book 📖 I just want to say Thank-you for a wonderful Bible study. Lots of new insight on historical things that I wasn’t yet aware of so great stuff- I’ve really enjoyed this teaching and plan to chapter 2 with you next week. God Bless you 🕊️🥰 Xxxxx
This morning, our pastor spoke on Ephesians 3:7-11 in which Paul says he is less than the least of all the Lord's people, but because of God's grace, even he, Paul, was able to preach the gospel. The larger theme was how God used weak, broken sinners throughout history to achieve His purpose. Hearing your introduction echoing that same theme found in Esther is encouraging. Literally anyone can spread the message of salvation. We don't have to be scholars or eloquent linguists. God uses whatever we bring. His grace is sufficient. Thank you for doing this and keep it up!
This was really wonderful!
I really enjoy your bible studys :) I tend to retain more for some reason.
thank you for this! i learned a lot
Very well explained thanks and God Bless

I took a few things but what’s sticking out to me most is Queen Vashti refusal.. in the word it say we are more precious than rubies right…it says she was beautiful to LOOK at but we are more than our outer appearance!!! We as women are more than a shiny nice object. Don’t show me off for my looks show me off for who I am truly am. Her refusal was major! 👏🏾👏🏾

I started book of Esther today ,first Bible study with you .
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this!! I’ve been really wanting to dig deeper into the Word. I tell myself that I should be reading my Bible everyday, but when I do I feel like I just don’t understand it. I was trying to look for good Bible study books to read, or maybe a podcast or something, then I thought to check KZread. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!! I’m going to watch these every night after my kids go to bed! Thank you for taking the time to do this!!
Fantastic presentation! Really enjoyable 😊
Hello kaci! Today I got ESV study bible , bible highlighters and mint floral bible tabs which you recommend on The daily grace co.. It's beautiful ! Your channel is one of my favorite christian channel on KZread ! Thank you so much ! I hope you keep uploading the video even after your adorable child is born. Haha. I know it's my greed .May the grace of God be filled with you and your family. I'm so happy and grateful to be able to do my Bible study with these from today. Thank you Kaci ♡♡
Just found this young lady and am blessed to know that she uses some of the same resources I find helpful in my studies like David Guzik’s enduring word comment and Skip Heitzig 30,000 miles high. A very sincere persona.
Learned much Thank yoou
Amen!
I love the book of Esther so I was excited to see your study. I looked up the names of the king’s advisors and was amazed at their names in Strong’ Concordance. These names lend a lot to the story. Check them out. Also, the six months lends to the world’s biblical time period and in the seventh day, the king looks for his bride. Very much like our God looking for a bride who will come to him in total transparency (the unmasking of the bride being like one who lifts the veil before her groom). But alas, like Israel who is not a faithful wife, Vashti is given a certificate of divorce. So the king must go to the streets to looks for his bride.

Thank you for sharing this. I used to see queen Basti in a different way. Now after your explanation I feel bad for her.
Esther name was star. Xerxes ruled over 127 providence.They had a wild party for 6 months which is unheard of these days. I can't wait for the next bible study!
Great content and presentation I am so happy I came across this video. I will be binge watching your video in hopes catching up to current day videos. I read along in one of my ESV bibles (The Fire Bible ) and it sounds like the translation you read. What study bible are you reading from in this business? Thank you for answering God's calling to do this- peace and blessings!

I have the revised standard catholic version so my Esther is a little different. I can follow your bible study. There is just some of the Esther in my Bible left out.
its always been soo good listening and finding all that which i couldn't read them... its always a blessing doing Bible study with you. thank you soo much... and one suggestion here, if this make sense. of course it is understood and accepted but instead of 'Bible study with me,', i think "Bible study with Kaci Nicole" will be much more better.
I jusg found this channel today, Sunday 09/17. I loved reading the first chapter with you. I love yoour accent and would like to know if you're canadian? I was married to a canadian woman for 14vyrs. Please, i would like to know. Im looking forward to the next study time. May God bless. ❤

The Name of God is actually hidden in the structure of the Hebrew text just like if I had, for example written something along the lines of “Joyously Ethiopian Soldiers Uniformed Said…” in English-all throughout the text. I learned this from David Pawson. And this was done because at the time of writing, though it was recording a joyous and victorious occasion, was actually a time when mentioning the Name of God and identifying themselves as Jews was not something to be done unless you wanted to be persecuted and even murdered. It seems that the events were passed in oral tradition for a long time before it was recorded in writing. And for those who may question the reliability of oral tradition…not even mentioning the fact that this was the way things were done, that they were used to passing things on through word of mouth, think of how many songs (Christian or not, let’s be honest) the average person has memorized. Things were learned through attaching a melody or rhythm. And, when an event is really important, aren’t we able to relay the intricate details with ease? Think of the way you met your spouse (if you’re married) or even just find a veteran serving during the Vietnamese War, for example, and see if they’re not able to describe word for word 50, 60 years after the fact, what happened. I learned this years ago but thought I’d share for those who don’t know (yet).
Mine says Mordecai's uncles daughter, but Mordecai raised her from a young age. Auntie and uncle are terms of respect in the culture of today, I'm wondering if that was true for their time as well.
Even for a Persian woman to appear before other men without a face covering would be something out of the ordinary.

hi im new here thanks god.
Please tell me she didn’t just say the Bible isn’t based on true story’s but narratives.. Am I missing something?
