I went to a party one time in high school and I was pretty excited about it because I was going with my girlfriend and also I got invited to a party and also I was gonna drive a car that I owned with my own ownership with money that I got from selling contemporary Christian compact discs to people in the mall at the Christian bookstore which had an orange Julius in front of it so I could get orange

Julius on my break and I had a fashionable haircut in the style of legendary crooner vanilla ice and in general I was just on top of the world so I was on top of the world when I went to this party and then we got in there and I tried to do things like I'd seen in movies that sophisticated people do at parties I talked with people I leaned against things I thought it was going really well but then I looked over and I saw that my girlfriend was hanging out with this other guy

and she was really sitting very very close to him and I watched them interact and he must have been saying things were very funny because she was laughing very easily at pretty much every word that came out of his mouth and then to my horror I saw her take her right pointer finger and middle finger and put them to the temple of her ear and smile real big as she moved her hair back over her ear while looking at him and I thought

well that ain't good and I'm happy for them because it seems like they had a really nice time chatting and laughing about things that night and then to make matters worse I didn't get home on time some parents weren't happy and I got grounded and on the whole this pretty much the worst party I ever went to but it was nowhere near as bad as Heyman's party in Esther chapter seven and I tell you one of the big differences between the two is that I didn't get impaled and stood up in the air so I'm happy

and stood up in the air 75 feet for everybody to see my dead body after that unfortunate high school party but Heyman did in Esther seven the heroin of the story finally comes clean and she's like I'm Jewish and that guy right there Heyman is trying to kill me and all the Jews she tells the king the king is not pleased with this he stops out onto the balcony and Heyman realizing that his fate has already been decided by the king he stayed behind big Queen Esther for his life just as the king returned from the palace

garden where he was out stewing to the banquet hall Heyman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining and then the king exclaimed well even molest the queen while she's with me in the house

as soon as the words left the king's mouth they covered Heyman's face who is they I don't like the attendance the bag man there's probably a bag man there who says a bag all the time in case somebody says something that the king really really didn't like

then somebody we didn't even know was at the party immediately chimed in it says then harbona one of the unix attending the king

oh it's a unique again now remember just a few years after these events were in 473 right now in 465 some unix who attended the king are going to

foment rebellion and discontent and the result is a king's irksies because he's going to end up getting assassinated

but in the meantime he's been receiving a whole lot of counsel from these unix and it's interesting because in

the book of Esther the narrative about unix is or I should say the the tone the framing of the unix is

pretty positive much more positive than secular sources covering the same subject matter at the same

where unix are seen as cd and skulking and plotting and manipulative here yeah they give the king some nudges but

everybody gives this king nudges he's very powerful he's just not very decisive and this particular

unic we met earlier in ester chapter one which is all the way back in roughly 483 bc in the third

year of zirksies reign remember he has that party that war council probably where he's mapping out an invasion

of greece and this is the party that the results in vashky being deposed for you know who Esther ends up

serving as the replacement so it's ten years ago here when we catch this name for the first time

but we definitely catch this name ester one verse ten on the seventh day when king zirksies was in high

spirits from wine he commanded the seven unix who served him mehuman bis the not to be confused

with big than there two names in here they kind of sound like that that was one of the assassins
