Story of Queen Esther: Animated Bible Movie

[@fromtheheavenlyrealms8613]

I love the way you shorten the story, yet still bring out the overall point of the book. What an anointing you have in your life. Teaching the word through the arts, and in such simplicity that even a child would enjoy. May God continue to fill your cup.

[@rubble35]

Biblical folks were generally not euro or african in origen. The answe to inaccurate representation is not a pendulum, but a return to truth.

[@S.H-t9e]

The truth is that according to the sources, neither Esther nor Mordechai are correctly represented here...and I'm not just talking about skin color. Esther looks like a girl in the video when the truth is that when she was brought to the king she was a married woman (to Mordechai, if you were wondering) and quite mature... and yes she was definitely liked by Hagi but not because of her extraordinary external beauty, but because of her inner beauty and modesty. And Mordechai was not just anyone, he was the "head of the Sanhedrin" one of the greatest Jewish sages in the Diaspora! The regulations he established, the Jewish people uphold to this day! - I was disappointed with the way they were presented...😟

[@JahQuill111]

I can not put into words how beautiful to see our history in our image the true Israel the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob thank you for sharing..all praises to The Most High.

[@oakdeepvastforest2924]

Prophet Elijah brought back to life the son of the widow. Can your Mosaic priests to that now? The ones who can do it are the Orthodox Saints. The true Israel is the Orthodox Church. Esau and Jacob are symbols the Jewish people and the Orthodox Church. Just like Esau lost his birth right to Jacob, the Jewish people lost their statute of being Israel to the Orthodox Church. They lost it when they abandoned Christ. But there is a difference: Jewish people, each and every one of them, can be again part of Israel if the become Orthodox Christians. There are some who have already done so. For example, Fr Nicolae Steinhardt of Romania was a Jew and at the same time an Orthodox Christian priest. He even suffered for Christ in Communist prisons. If you truly want to be Israel, be Orthodox Christians.

[@WorkFromHomeAfrica]

Finally! Thank you for making brown, biblical animation.

[@rubble35]

Like prince of egypt, king of dreams, the new david movie, for example, did not portray the characters as semites?

[@TruthSeeker-tt3pi]

This episode is just made to please people. The prince of Egypt and the New king David episodes are more accurate. The Hebrews Israelites are more of an olive skin tone, until you go to king Solomon and his encounter with the Queen of Sheba or Ethiopian decent.

[@_captainjazz]

⁠@@TruthSeeker-tt3piwould you like to explain how Moshe (Moses) and The Messiah both basically grew up in and blended in with the kemetians? The kemetians are hamites a dark complexion people. Also you do realize olives range from greyish brown, green to black.

[@TruthSeeker-tt3pi]

@@_captainjazz Take a Greek olive or should i say green olive cut it open and look on the inside there is a tannish complexion that is generally the complexion of an individual with Middle Eastern roots. Even when you cut a Kalamata olive (which are dark) and look inside there is a tannish complexion.

[@TruthSeeker-tt3pi]

@@_captainjazz Egyptians can become very dark when exposed to sunlight. Egypt my also be in Africa, However it is considered the Middle East and the Egyptians are there own group they are not African. You can say the same about certain parts of India some people get very dark but they are still of India decent.

Thank you for getting the actual color of the Bible characters correct. Some people say, those who are bothered by the truth, "color don't matter" then why change the original colors from black to white. In this hour YAH''s people know who the true children of Israel are, but what really matters if people, including Judah and Israel, have a relationship with the Most High in the end. 🙏🏾

[@doll.ov.poetrii4682]

[@Willchel_Kish]

yes the story was good but many bible animations and movies about scripture white wash the truth. and because of this the truth about God's chosen people have been heavily distorted. If these were real people, documentaries and movies of them should remain accurate which has not been done. thats why people are excited.
