Mordecai refused to bow to Haman, and this infuriated him. He tried to take revenge by targeting all of Mordecai's people (Esther ch.3).

Did Germans kill Jews because they killed Jesus?

No it is a much deeper question then that. in the first place becauase the Jeews were a religionapart fro christianity they were never a part of the general comunity This led to their persecution. This led to jews cooperating , ticking together and for some exeling in their comunitys and this led to further resentment. shylock from the shakesperian play the merchant of venice is a good example. The nazi party however did not only kill Jews they also killed gypsys people of various other religions those that were mentaly deficient, homosexuals , etc. these were used by the thugs to put fear into the hearts of the populace.

What did Queen Esther eat on her fast?

Answer 1Esther was hoping that God would take pity on her plight to approach King Ahasueros without being summoned and cause him to raise his scepter to her. Otherwise, she would be going to her death.The text of the Book of Esther clarifies the situation:Esther 4:11,15-16 (NIV): 11 "All the king's officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king"...15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: 16 "Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish."Answer 2Well I think Queen Esther fasted because; when you fast you give up food for some days or hours you do it to show God you love Him an you Live on Him so when you fast intead of eating you read the Bible or worship or pray to God!Additional Facts:When Esther fasted, it was a three-day fast. She had all the Jews, in Babylon also fast, for the same three days & nights. Then, three days later, after the fast, she risked her life in going to Ahasuerus' throne, without permission, in order to create a plan to rid the Jews & Ahasuerus of Haman's evil plan. Especially when she had it prepared "just for Haman" and catch Haman was off-guard. Haman, atfirst was feeling like a "Special Guest", during the first day of the feast. During that feast, there were just Esther, Haman & King Ahasuerus. During the second day of the feast, Ahasuerus repeated his question to Esther, of why she dared to go to his throne, she told him she would answer the question, the next day. And when the three were alone, as Ahasuerus asked the question, Esther told Ahasuerus, that she was a Jewess & Haman's plot would kill her & all the Jews, in Babylon. Ahasuerus, after hearing this, was irate & quickly left the table & went outside the palace room, to cool his temper. [After he left Haman begged Esther to spare him & he was kneeling beside Esther.] When Ahasuerus returned, inside and seeing Haman plead for his life beside Esther, a eunuch told King Ahasuerus of the gallows, that Haman had constructed, Ahasuerus had Haman hanged on the gallows, that he wanted to hang Mordecai, just because Mordecai did not bow before him. Final Facts: Haman schemed to have all the Jews in Babylon to be killed. [When Mordecai told that Haman's eunuchs, that he was a Jew].PS: In Esther Chapter 2; Mordecai rescued Ahasuerus' life, overhearing two eunuchs & doorkeepers, Bigthan & Teresh's plot to kill King Ahasuerus & he told Esther, then Esther told Ahasuerus of their scheme. In Esther Chapter 6, Mordecai was rewarded with what Haman had planned & hoped for himself! How this occurred was that King Ahasuerus was reminded of Mordecai's good deed & Haman had just arrived to the palace, to make a request, to hang Mordecai, shortlly after the gallows, he had planned on killing Mordecai, for he could not wait & try to "exterminate" Mordecai. But before he could make his request, King Ahasuerus asked Haman's advice, for a reward. (When Haman answered King Ahasuerus' question, he was extremely high, on pride. After Haman gave his answer, King Ahasuerus quickly ordered Haman to lead Mordecai, down Shushan streets with what Haman hoped, was for him). A: To get one of Ahasuerus' horses. B: A well-designed Persian robe, of King Ahasuerus. C: Be led by a high-classed prince, or officer. D: The officer was to verbally proclaim "This is the way the king honors his faithful servants"=======================================So, in sum, what you have here in response to the question, is-- three lines saying "I don't know but I'll tell you what I think", followed by-- 35 more lines recounting the story as stream-of-consciousness.Amazing!
