Esther and the Song of Solomon (aka the Canticle of Canticles) do not explicitly mention God or Christ.

@Thinkerbell Wow this sounds familiar..[b]Haman was going to kill all the Jews [/b]because Mordecau a Jew refused to bow down and worship the king

[b][big]Haman’s Plot to Destroy the Jews[/big][/b]
3 After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him and giving him a seat of honor higher than that of all the other nobles. 2 All the royal officials at the king’s gate knelt down and paid honor to Haman, for the king had commanded this concerning him. But Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor.

3 Then the royal officials at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s command?” 4 Day after day they spoke to him but he refused to comply. Therefore they told Haman about it to see whether Mordecai’s behavior would be tolerated, for he had told them he was a Jew.

5 When Haman saw that Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor, he was enraged. 6 Yet having learned who Mordecai’s people were, he scorned the idea of killing only Mordecai. Instead Haman looked for a way [b]to destroy all Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the whole kingdom of Xerxes.

@Thinkerbell [b][big]Haman Impaled- Book of Esther 5 [/big][/b]
7 So the king and Haman went to Queen Esther’s banquet, 2 and as they were drinking wine on the second day, the king again asked, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted.”

3 Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases you, grant me my life—this is my petition.[b] And spare my people—this is my request[/b].[b] 4 For I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed and annihilated. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king.[a]”[/b]

5 King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who is he? Where is he—the man who has dared to do such a thing?”

6 Esther said, “An adversary and enemy! This vile Haman!”

Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen. 7 The king got up in a rage, left his wine and went out into the palace garden. But Haman, realizing that the king had already decided his fate, stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life.

8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining.

The king exclaimed, “Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the house?”

As soon as the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. 9 Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “A pole reaching to a height of fifty cubits[b] stands by Haman’s house. He had it set up for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.”

The king said, “Impale him on it!” 10 [b]So they impaled Haman on the pole he had set up for Mordecai. Then the king’s fury subsided.[/b]

Every book is about Jesus, because every book have historical, and spiritual lessons for us.
No books of the OT mention Jesus as he wasn’t born yet.
@LeopoldBloom I mean, yeah, everything that the New Testament claims mentions him is just twisting words.

All books mention God either directly of by using symbolism..
That's what I find so unbiblical about the Veggietales' story of Esther: it mentions God
I see I've been beaten to the best answer, so I'm going to go ahead and use this platform to ask everybody a question.

Christians, what was the Song of Solomon about?
@1490wayb Wait, so you're saying God wants to have sexual intercourse with the church?
1490wayb · 56-60, M
@LordShadowfire of course not...marriage is a metaphor thruout the bible
@1490wayb No. You cannot read Song of Solomon and honestly say it's a metaphor.
