King Tut was a fascinating pharaoh at most. There isn’t much on who king Tut was or when he was born or how he died. But some people have dedicated there lives to find out who he was. He was born during the Golden Age. He became king a surprisingly young age. He achieved many things and had an important job. His death was and still is a mystery to most.

The Book of Isaiah is a book full of oracles such as the one narrating Isaiah's calling to be a prophet for the Lord God. In accordance with his classical poetic style the passage is full of imagery and sensual descriptions. Concerned with the fall of the nation, Isaiah has God himself warning the people of what is to come for a stronger impact on the Israelites. As a man who lived through the reins of four kings whom throughout the book are of great importance, Isaiah sees God as a functioning king and ruler. Much of what is said and seen in Isaiah 6:1-13 relate to other events in the rest of the book and surely influence Isaiah's life completely.
The story I read is the story of Esther, and the courage she had. Esther realized that she’s the Queen, and she’s the only one to save her people, the Jews from Haman. She tells her husband King Xerxes, that Haman, his second in command, ordered a law to kill all Jews, because Esther’s cousin, Mordecai wouldn’t bow to him, but to only God. Mordecai taught Esther, “Never to be afraid to do what’s right.” Before she told her husband, she prayed to God to give her courage, and she told her husband about her being a Jew, and what Haman is doing. The King was furious at Haman and he hanged him where Haman wanted to hang Mordecai at, and Mordecai took Haman’s position as the King’s second in command.
