In
this Old Testament Book of the Bible, the obviously
emerging information is that God uses common men and
women to conquer unobtainable situations to achieve His
favorable desires. After reading the Book of Ezra
Chapter 6, one can read the complete Book of Esther and
then continue on to Ezra Chapter 7 for the chronological
sequence of events. This true story takes place in
Persia for a period of ten years from 483 to 473 B.C.
The first four chapters tell of the threat to the Jews.
While the last 6 chapters (5-10) contain the great
deliverance and triumph of the Jews. This thrilling
story has all the attributes of a great novel. The story
of Esther ( a beautiful young orphan girl) begins in
King Ahasuerus' winter palace at Susa. He holds a lavish
banquet to display his royal glory to the people of Susa
and sought to make Queen Vashti's beauty part of the
program. She refused to appear at the banquet, thus the
King ordered to have her deposed and then he sought out
another queen, to keep other women from becoming out of
hand. Esther who hides a secret about her true identity
then became queen, because she had found favor in his
sight and the Lord used Esther and her family (mainly
Mordecai) to triumph over Israel's enemies who were
plotting to destroy them. This story involves a power
struggle, romantic love and much more. God delivers the
Jewish people in a victorious way.
