On February 8th, 2024, Dr. Tricia Miller spoke on the subject of "Post 10/7: What is the real truth about Israel and Gaza?" on a webinar hosted by Friends of Israel UK.

In the face of an exponential increase of Jew-hatred, accompanied by unprecedented demonization of Israel's efforts to defend itself against an enemy intent on its destruction, the biblical book of Esther is a timely source of inspiration and instruction for how to live in such a time as this. 

Esther gives the account of an attempted annihilation of the Jewish people, dispersed throughout the ancient Persian Empire. The story also reveals how that attempt was defeated, and how the Jews celebrated their deliverance from genocide.

But Esther is not just a record of events that happened almost 2,500 years ago in a land far away! This book contains lessons that can inform, unite and activate us today, right where we are.

It has now been three and a half months since the terrorist organization, Hamas - with the help and support of many Gazan civilians - carried out its brutal massacre of at least 1,200 Israelis, injured more than 12,500 others, and took approximately 240 hostages (including at least 30 children) to Gaza. Thankfully, some of those taken captive were released in November in exchange for terrorists held in Israeli jails. However, there are still over 130 - including men, women and children - in Gaza and the fate of many of them is unknown at this time.
