Esther 4:14 (The Israel Bible™) כִּי אִם-הַחֲרֵשׁ תַּחֲרִישִׁי בָּעֵת הַזֹּאת--רֶוַח וְהַצָּלָה יַעֲמוֹד לַיְּהוּדִים מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר וְאַתְּ וּבֵית-אָבִיךְ תֹּאבֵדוּ וּמִי יוֹדֵעַ--אִם-לְעֵת כָּזֹאת הִגַּעַתְּ לַמַּלְכוּת אסתר ד:יד kee im ha-kha-raysh ta-kha-ree-shee ba-ayt ha-zot re-vakh v'-ha-tza-la ya-a-mod la-y'-hu-deem mi-ma-kom a-khayr v'-at u-vayt a-veekh to-vay-du u-mee yo-day-a im l'-ayt ka-zot hi-ga-at la-mal-khut Today's Israel Inspiration Mordecai’s famous words to Esther inspire her to courageously step up and defend the Jewish people. Mordecai does not say, “if you are silent now, then we are all doomed,” because he knows that the God of Israel will never foresake His people. Instead, Mordecai empowers Esther to take a leading role in the redemption, and not sit quietly on the sidelines as it unfolds. In every generation there are those who threaten the existence of the nation of Israel and the Land of Israel.  In the end, God will defend His people and His land, but it is up to every individual to decide if they will stand up like Queen Esther on behalf of Israel or not.
