Hang in there with me! I know this has been a long topic but I think its really important that you believe what the Bible is really about and how man fits within it. Knowing what you believe on this issue can help your filter out false teaching and lies that manipulate the Word!
Here are your passages:
Esther Chapter 3 and 4
Here is a little background:
The Jews have already returned to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple. Its built and the ones who chose to return are there. Even though they are allowed to worship God they are not the ruling nation that they once were. They are still conquered, small people group, under the Persian empire. This passage tells of man who convinces the King of Persia to annihilate the Jews, God's chosen people. Jesus, our Messiah was a Jew. He has not been born yet. This is classic Satan trying to stop the Savior from arriving to save us,by killing off the very genealogy He was prophesied to come from. God shows up in a big way, in fact He was already prepared for the attempt. A Jew was the queen of Persia.
Write this person down on your timeline. Do you see a theme still? Write your thoughts down.
BTW - we are studying Esther this summer. It is SOOOOOOOO stinkin' good. I can't wait for early morning bible study.
See ya on Monday for the last week of this topic.
