The Book of Esther
The events of Ezra coincided with the events of the Book of Esther. The post-captivity history of Israel reveals the hand of a providential and active God working on behalf of His people, as He is doing for us today. The other books of the Old Testament related to this time period was Ezra, Esther, Nehemiah, and Zechariah.

The Book of Esther
Esther 2 – Esther becomes queen
As Joseph and Daniel before and Nehemiah after, Esther is placed in a position of great importance as a protector of God’s chosen people. God orchestrated these events in order to protect His promises to Israel. These events are not coincidental; Esther’s grace and God’s providence elevated her.

The Book of Esther The Rise of Haman and Genocide
- The mention of Haman’s family history related to some 600 years before this event may or may not be the motivation behind his hatred
- He rose to power along with Mordecai and immediately developed a rivalry and hatred
- Another mysterious development in this account is that Mordecai develops a backbone, a backbone he did not exercise as Esther rose to the position of queen (Esther 2:10, 20).
