#414 Esther: The King’s Queen, Chapter 1


Listen Later

Once upon a time—and I mean in God’s perfect time—a Jewish orphan girl named Esther became a Persian Queen. But, as many of you know, this book is less fairy tale and much more mystery—a book full of lessons about the mysteries of divine calling, evil and justice, finding courage to stand for truth, and understanding God’s eternal purposes in history and in our story. Though her husband claimed the title “king of kings,” Esther’s ultimate allegiance lay elsewhere—to the high King of the universe. In that sense, here’s the story and the lessons we should learn from Esther: the King’s Queen.

Outline:

  1. The Book
  2. The King
  3. The Queen
  4. The Temper
  5. Key Takeaways:

    • The size and scope of the Persian Empire.
    • A sketch of how Daniel, Esther, Nehemiah, and Ezra fit on a timeline.
    • The geopolitics of the time, including the pending Persian invasion of Greece by Xerxes.
    • The story of Esther as set in God’s grand plan of redemption.
    • Lessons about Providence and God’s rule and reign throughout history.
