In the lecture Jethro shows how English and Hebrew Gematria can be used to see a deeper significance in the story of Esther.The basic lesson of the story is God's divine providence over the Jewish people and the lesson that the Jewish people are meant to teach to the nations - the nothing is by chance - that God's providence extends over all nations and over of all nation. Haman wanted to prove otherwise, that there is no God and no Divine Providence. So he draw Lots to see what was the best day to kill the Jews. The lots represent chance. We exist by accident. We are chance mutations, accidents of nature. By using Gematria Jethro shows that even the development of the English language is not by chance. Even though English is made up of many other languages and changed through the years our modern English was present in God's "mind" a he very beginning of creation.
