Hadassah is the Hebrew name for Esther. Hadassah's Cousin Mordecai changed her name to Esther so her Jewishness could be concealed from the Persian King Ahasuerus (or Xerxes). Esther is chosen to be The Queen of Persia and is put in the position by God to make a choice to save her people the Jews from annialation or to continue being known as the Queen of Persia. Esther was born for such a time as this and allowed God to use her to save the Jewish people from 127 districts in one day. Mordecai was elevated to the position of Prime Minister of Persia as well. Even though God is never mentioned in The Book of Esther His presence is there all the time.
