Study
6 From the Book of Esther is: Esther 7 and 8
1- How does
chapter 7 illustrate the theme of certain psalms? See, e. g., Pss. 73:17-19;
94:1-7, 21-23. How should this influence our faith?
2- After the
fall of Haman what did (a) Esther and (b) the Jews still have to do to obtain
the deliverance promised by the king? See especially 8:3-8, 11, 12. What
parallel is there in Christian experience? Cf. Phil. 2:12, 13.
Notes
1- 7:3. ‘My
life … and my people…’: for the first time Ester acknowledges her nationality.
2- 7:9. Notice
how often the king’s decisions are influenced by those around him.
