Esther - lessons from the Queen of a vast realmMichael Scaman
'For such a time as this' is the most famous phrase in the Book of Esther.
The book of Esther follows Lamentations in the Jewish 'Psalms section' of the Tanach
While Lamentations laments how the princess has fallen in the dessert, the princess is raised up in Esther. Jeremiah's deep lament is followed by a story of providence and deliverance in Esther.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri
We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).
2. “In the third year of his reign he made a feast for all his officials and servants—
the powers of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the princes of the provinces
being before him.” (Esther 1:3)
Ahasuerus (Xerxes) was the king of the Persian
Empire from 485 to 465 BC. He tried to win the
whole empire’s confidence with that feast
before leaving to Greece.
Ahasuerus got drunk and asked queen Vashti to
do something indecent. She roundly refused to
please him.
God used that situation between Ahasuerus and
Vashti to place Esther in the right position so He
could save His people.
We must learn to trust God’s plans even when
we don’t understand them (Isaiah 55:8-11)
3. Let’s study how Hadassah became Queen
Esther. There are two important points: She
found grace and she hid her religion.
Esther found grace before Hegai and
Ahasuerus (Esther 2:9, 17) . That means that
she was a faithful believer like other
biblical characters who also found grace:
Noah (Genesis 6:8), Joseph (Genesis 39:4), the
people of God through the desert (Jeremiah
31:2) and David (Acts 7:46).
So… why did she hide her identity and faith?
Jesus hid His “messianity” before the Jews
but He showed it to the Samaritan woman.
Did Esther have similar reasons (John 4:1-26)?
“Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily
gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance. Then seven choice
maidservants were provided for her from the king’s palace, and he moved her
and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women. Esther had
not revealed her people or family, for Mordecai had charged her not to reveal
it.” (Esther 2:9-10)
4. “For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will
arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will
perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time
as this?” (Esther 4:14)
5. The crisis began when Mordecai refused
to kneel down before Haman like all
other servants did (to worship him).
Since Mordecai’s refusal was based on his
faith, Haman decided to get revenge by
destroying all Jews (unknowingly
including Queen Esther).
Esther overcame her fear (after
some time of prayer and fasting) and
decided to risk her own life to save
her people.
“For if you remain completely silent at this time,
relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from
another place, but you and your father’s house will
perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to
the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14)
God has already prepared people to
help in moments when crisis arises.
Could you be one of those people?
6. “So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai and led him
on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him,
‘Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!’”
(Esther 6:11)
God prepared the way by using the right people in the right moment:
Two eunuchs plan to commit
an outrage against the king.
Mordecai reports it through
Esther (Esther 2:21-23).
Esther invites Ahasuerus
and Haman to a feast
(Esther 5:1-5).
Haman’s wife and children
advise him to make a
gallows for Mordecai that
night (Esther 5:14).
Mordecai’s report is read to
Ahasuerus in the small
hours. The king decides to
honor him (Esther 6:1-3).
Haman gets up early. He wanted
to clamor for Mordecai’s scalp,
but he must honor him instead
(Esther 6:4-12).
In the end, Haman dies
in the gallows he made
(Esther 7:9).
MORDECAI
7. “And in every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree
came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday. Then many of the
people of the land became Jews, because fear of the Jews fell upon them.”
(Esther 8:17)
That faith was strengthened by how the Jews acted in Purim when the royal
decrees set them against their enemies.
Those people were converted
by how the Jews behave in
that moment and how they
courageously testified to their
faith.
The first decree authorized their enemies to
take over all their belongings. The Jews just
defended themselves; they didn’t take anything
from their enemies (Esther 9:10, 15, 16).
8. “The decree that will finally go forth against the remnant
people of God will be very similar to that issued by
Ahasuerus against the Jews. Today the enemies of the true
church see in the little company keeping the Sabbath
commandment, a Mordecai at the gate. The reverence of
God’s people for His law is a constant rebuke to those who
have cast off the fear of the Lord and are trampling on His
Sabbath.
Satan will arouse indignation against the minority who refuse
to accept popular customs and traditions… By false
representations and angry appeals, men will stir up the
passions of the people… To secure popularity and patronage,
legislators will yield to the demand for Sunday laws. But
those who fear God, cannot accept an institution that
violates a precept of the Decalogue. On this battlefield will
be fought the last great conflict in the controversy between
truth and error. And we are not left in doubt as to the issue.
Today, as in the days of Esther and Mordecai, the Lord will
vindicate His truth and His people.”
E.G.W. (Prophets and Kings, cp. 49, pg. 444)
