In our last episode, David and Scott demonstrated that the Holy Spirit can introduce radical new ideas into the world. Today, they summarize that and the other three functions of ruach hakodesh – the Holy Spirit – as we see them in the Book of Esther. Listen as David hits it out of the park...

In our last episode, David explained that the Holy Spirit – Ruach HaKodesh – can mean “access to classified information.” Today he expands that definition, and in so doing finally- finally! – finds a strong proof that the Book of Esther was written with the Holy Spirit. (Even Scott has to agree.)

Martin Luther wanted to remove the Book of Esther from the Christian Bible… but that was just the latest episode in a history of rejection of Esther. Why did so many find it so objectionable? And what does David make of the fascinating reality that Esther 4:14 has become a central verse in Christian Zionism?...
