Title: Esther's supplication.
Chapter 8
Verses 1-2: On the same day, King Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews, to the queen Esther. Esther told the king how Mordecai was related to her. So when Mordecai came before the king, he took the ring that the king had taken from Haman and took Mordecai. and Esther made Mordecai in charge of Haman's house.
Mordecai became Prime Minister.
When Haman died, he immediately gave Haman's house to Esther, and Esther gave Mordecai jurisdiction over the house. And only then did Queen Esther tell the king about her relationship with Mordecai. (After five years) The king summoned Mordecai and gave him Haman's ring to rule over Haman's house. This too is God's will, and this is what it is.
The Bible says that no matter how much wealth the wicked accumulate, God will take it from those He pleases. Ultimately, it will be the same in the last days of the world.
We realize this aspect here. The rule of heaven is to receive the character of government through a battle based on faith. In other words, we can see in the Old Testament a lot in the Old Testament that an office is entrusted to and governed according to one's ability as much as a victory in a partial battle, or as much as a victory in an overall battle.
Even when David went to war with his men, when Solomon raised the heads of his men, if he cut off the head of an enemy or defeated the enemy, he was entrusted with an honorable post such as a centurion or commander of thousands according to his abilities.
Not only in the Bible, but also in the world. In a certain war, the higher the number of criminal records, the higher the rank. Faith is the same.
Not only that, we can also find reason in the saying, “As you sow, you will reap.” If a lot of good seeds are sown, the harvest is large, because God has placed the laws of the natural world so that we can understand the law of salvation. It reveals the spiritual law. It is the same from a moral point of view. A reward is given to those who do a lot of good deeds.
If you go against these things, that is, against the laws of nature, against the laws of morals, against the laws of the spirit, you do the same damage in the world as much as you go against any part or the whole. In other words, if you violate the laws of nature, you do as much harm to yourself as if you violated those laws in the natural world. he might even die
So Haman went against all of God's absolute laws and wanted to receive everything, but everything he had was taken away and returned to those who kept God's laws. Either way, if you break the rules, you die. If you go against the laws of faith, your faith will die, and if you go against the laws of the flesh, your body will die.
Haman should not be viewed simply as ‘evil, trying to kill the chosen one’. This Haman is breaking all laws. If God wants to kill the people he loves, will God let him go?
Esther's supplication.
Esther is not relieved by just killing Haman. Why? This is because Haman's decree to kill all the Jews and seize their property on the 13th day of Adar will be carried out in each province, so it is necessary to act quickly before this time expires.
Looking at this, we can see that Esther is a woman who has a big heart and is wise and thoughtful in her love for her people.
There are many women who long for being satisfied and happy only with themselves, whether it be someone else or not. But there is no such thing in Esther's supplication.
The king listened to Esther and had Haman's decree suspended and a new decree issued. It is sealed by making them write according to the will of the Jews.
It is said that if you take the king's fish seal, it will not change, but if you look closely, there are absolutely no laws of the world. Haman's decree was also stamped (then this law should not have been changed), and later the law was changed. turned 180 degrees. No matter how absolute the laws of the world are, God writes them this way and that way.
It was sent very quickly to write it according to each nation and dialect of 127 degrees and to attach it to the postgraduates. As far as India and Cush, as far as tens of thousands of ri were attached, they were sent as steeds for use by the king.
On the same day, December 13, seize the property of your enemies and kill all men, women and children! Before that, Haman had also told them to take all the property of the Jews and to kill all men, women and children. Same day, but completely changed. God's providence is mysterious.
Neither the Jews nor the adversaries knew of the king's later decree. Only the king, Mordecai, and Esther in the court know.
However, if you look closely, you can see that the saints are unaware that God is carrying out the work of salvation for his people, but his love for protecting, guiding, and loving his people has taken flight in heaven for the saints. .
The six-month feast can be seen as the feast of the fallen heaven. The world is a microcosm of heaven!
In order to save God's chosen people, it took a total emergency to save the Jews. So the ones who can't sleep are the scoundrels who ride horses (the angels of the heavenly army). As we, believers, see a total emergency in the spiritual realm, we need to think about God's love. The providence of salvation is very mysterious.
How can you think that the time is right at the right time, and that it changes 180 degrees without human beings thinking that it happened according to the will of man?
Although the word Jehovah God does not appear in this Bible, it stands out that God's providence works great under it.
