9) Chapter 6 weaves together what seem trivial details, fitting them together to overrule Haman’s evil plan. 10) 7:3-4 Esther, while she needed some convincing, was able to save the Jewish population in Persia. She is considered one of the most heroic women in Jewish history. 11) Esther implicitly teaches God’s providence. 12) The question is not “Where do I live and work?” but “For whom do I live and work, for myself or for my Lord?” 13) A lesson about Israel: Every enemy that has ever tried to destroy Israel has been destroyed. “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you” (Genesis 12:3, NKJV).
