This book, although it does not mention the name of God, shows the sovereignty of God in protecting Israel. Israel is sought through Satan to be destroyed. As the fascinating plot thickens toward this end Esther is used of God to prevent this from happening. This Sunday we are moving into chapter 2 as the drama continues. At the time written, Christ, who would be from the offspring of chosen Israel had not come the first time. Now, we await our Lord’s second coming and Satan still has the same purpose to destroy Israel. There is much to learn of God’s control over history from this book.
