THE STORY OF THE BOOK OF ESTHER

THE STORY OF THE BOOK OF ESTHER

Last week we celebrated Purim the story of Esther

If you aren’t familiar with the story I’ll explain it

God is never mentioned in this chapter but He is

Working behind the scenes for the Jew’s benefit

The king was displeased as the queen

Had refused what he wanted her to do

So he sent a decree to his whole empire

To look for a queen that would be new

Esther’s Uncle Mordechai convinced her to try out

The king was so overwhelmed by all that she was

That he made her the Queen of his entire empire

Though God isn’t mentioned this is what He Does

The King’s Prime Minister was named Haman

Who hated Mordechai as well as all of the Jews

So he got the king to decree to kill all of them

This for the Jewish People was very bad news

Esther pleaded with the king to squash that decree

He loved her so much that he couldn’t refuse

And this is the particular part of the story

When the Jews of that time got the good news

Haman had built a gallows to hang Mordechai

But He was executed on that very same one

Mordichai would become the Prime Minister

Another victory that the Jewish people had won

Although God is never mentioned in this book

He always orchestrate things behind the scenes

If you still don’t understand the entire picture

I’ll explain to you precisely what God Means

All of the Jewish People are the Apple of God’s Eyes

God curses who curses them Blessing who blesses them

And although God is never mentioned in the Book of Esther

It’s about the behind the scenes things that He Does for them
