The Book of Esther is rich with typological, allegorical and analogical references to a Queen interceding with the king to save her people.
I regret that I only have a limited number of hours on the weekends to explain this at length. By next weekend, this thread will be in the misty flats somewhere.
Perhaps I can come back for a few minutes later this morning to offer some significant quotes from that Book of Esther.

Perhaps I can come back for a few minutes later this morning to offer some significant quotes from that Book of Esther. The most significant quote from the Book of Esther is:
Est 4:13-14 And Mordecai commanded them to answer Esther, Do not think within yourself that you shall escape in the king's house more than all the Jews. For if you are completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise to the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house shall be destroyed. And who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for a time like this?
I wouldn't try to get too much of an allegory from Esther in comparison to Mary. Esther faithful was at the prodding of the godly Mordecai and how she solved the problems were because of Modecai's steering.
Behind every great woman there is a great man.

Is Mary one of many wives of the Father?
