ESTHER 10



1 And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.

2 And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

3 For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.

The parable of Esther


The faithful day had arrived! After twelve months of drama, intrigue, prayer and preparation, the ultimate impact of the royal law of Persia became effective. Because the law of the king (like the law of sin and death) could not be removed, it had to be challenged and overcome through courage, conviction and warfare against the political sin-power promoted by Haman.

... The great king (Yahweh) spreads his glory throughout the empire, through lands and seas. His faithful servant, Mordecai (Yahshua) is next to the royal throne, the viceroy of Yahweh on earth, being

"great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed."

The glory of the kingdom will be eclipsed by the great antitype, when the glory of Yahweh covers the earth as the waters do the seas. The downfall of all fleshly power will be as sudden and precipitous as that of Haman, to make way for the elevation of the antitypical Mordecai and the universal rule of God.

...All of Persia recognised the work of Mordecai and that of his God. The lessons of this chapter are startlingly obvious: a picture of the earth at rest with the Lord Yahshua as King, exalted, in control of all his dominion, and the saints in glory rejoicing in the benefits of Mordecai's 'fast' and glorification together giving all the glory to He who is The Ruler of all the earth.

This was permitted because they gathered themselves together (worked together with one aim) and stood for their lives (cp. Isa. 54:17). - GEM, Logos.
