What does the Bible say about Esther's authority?

In Esther 9:29-32, we see that Esther, the Queen, and Mordecai, the Jew, issued a decree with all authority to confirm the celebration of Purim. This action was meant to remind the Jewish people of their deliverance and to reinforce their identity and faith in God. The absence of Ahasuerus's name in the decree highlights that the true authority behind their deliverance and celebration came from God, not from worldly powers. The decree was a reminder of their need to remember God's faithfulness and provision in their lives.
