Queen Esther: Lesson Three

The enemy is never after just one man.

Haman was not content to go after Mordecai alone. He sought to destroy all the Jews.

Esther 3:6 (KJV): And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

The letters went out to kill young and old, little children and women, in one day.

Esther 3:13 (KJV): And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

But a plan against God's people is not the final word.

Isaiah 54:17 (KJV): No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
