Psalm 3, of David.

Compare this prayer of David with the way the Lord Jesus taught us to pray.

God’s name is never mentioned in Esther, not even once! Neither is worship, prayer or sacrifice. The Name of God appears in code in the name of the main actors. Is this coincidence or is the book written to hide its true nature as a sacred writing?

The hand of God is everywhere in the book.

Back to the main script. Everything is proceeding matter-of -factly.

Psalm 2

The anointed, the Messiah, Who is it?

Esther 6, a case of insomnia, Mordecai honored.

The events in Esther has always fascinated artists through the ages. This is a Dutch 15 century painting from the Azor Masters, https://www.artbible.info/art/museums/83

Psalm 1, the virtuous man.

This is Old Testament teaching. After Jesus Christ’s death, burial and resurrection the Apostle Paul writes this:

Esther 5, Esther’s Banquet, Haman’s rage against Mordecai.

From CBN’s “Esther: For such a time as this.”

Esther 4, Mordecai persuades Esther to risk her life to save the Jews.

Esther 3, Haman’s plot for genocide against the Jews.

According to 1 Samuel, God told Samuel to utterly destroy the Agagites, but Saul did not do so, so Saul lost his kingdom to David. Since then there was great animosity between the Agagites and the Jews.

Esther 2, Esther made Queen, Mordecai uncovers a Conspiracy.

And a great wedding banquet it was indeed.

At 99, after affecting millions on earth Billy Graham is finally gone home to meet his savior and also his wife.

The Rev. Billy Graham passed away this morning, the 21 of February at the age of 99. What a life this man had! And God even gave him the grace to give a “final” message on God’s grace, ending with the sinner’s prayer. I watched the moving messages, but with his passing it hit me; In the form of a Limerick:

He spoke to the millions on earth.

How much is a life like that worth?

In God’s eyes it’s the same

As that bum that just came

to the cross. Of God’s grace there’s no dearth.
