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).
2) 2:10 Mordecai did not know what this king’s attitude was toward the Jews. 3) 2:12 The young women were trained to do one thing: satisfy the desires of the king. 4) 2:15 Esther’s modesty and humility impressed everyone who saw her. 5) 3:6 Haman plotted a day of execution for all of the Jews in the kingdom. He brought his proposal to Xerxes, and the king signed it without realizing his bride would be affected by this mass slaughter. 6) 4:14 Mordecai demanded that Esther speak to the king and beg him to revoke the decree. But Persian kings could not revoke written law, and no one, not even the queen, could approach the king without being summoned. 7) 4:16 Esther had no super powers; she had only her reputation, her intellect and, her convictions. 8) 5:2 Esther experienced what believers will one day experience when standing before the King of Kings…God will turn His golden scepter in our direction (Romans 8:1).
