Another not-so-accurate fact
Taanis Esther, the fast of Esther, wasn't a fast the Jews called before battle. It was a fast of repentance, of Teshuva, to help overturn Haman's decree. The Jews fasted before Esther went into the King's palace, not before doing battle.

Behind the masked reality
Wonderful! Especially, "behind the masked reality is a loving, caring Gd." Blessings for a joyous, uplifting Purim.

Study Kabbalah and learn what really Purim is it all about
What is being told here, is maybe 1% of the reall story.

Just one thing...
One thing was not completely correct. There was prophecy into the second temple period. We may not have had it in Persia since it only worked in Israel. However, the time of prophecy was not over until many years after the Purim Story.

Is Purim just a fun-filled dress up holiday? Or is it something more? Perhaps it's a flip-flop, upside-down, full of surprises kind of day...not at all what you'd expect.
