Chapter One - Verses 1,2

The Potency Of Persia

  • The Mighty Kingship - vs.1a                                          a.  His Name - ...Ahasuerus... The meaning of his name:  "I will be silent and poor"                                                                  b. His Fame   ...this is Ahasuerus...
  • The Massive Kingdom - vs.1b                                         a.  It's Reach - ...from India even unto Ethiopia...                       b.  It's Reign  ...over an hundred and ...

  • The Majestic Kingdom - vs.2                                         a.  The Royalty - ...the king...                                                   b.  The Ruler - ...sat on the throne...                                         c.  The Riches - ...the palace...

The setting in which Esther and her guardian Mordecai were in is established in these two opening verses of this Book.  Mixed with this potent kingdom is the audacity that one can do whatever he wishes without consequences.  The challenge for God's people to overcome their enemies is a daunting one. 

Satan's tactics are revealed.  His initial objective was not to annihilate God's people, but to conform them to the world (ch.3:3,5).  The Apostle Paul warned believers in Rome against conformity to this world (Romans 12:1,3).  When Satan fails to conform believers to this world... he seeks their utter destruction.   Fortunately, Satan is not omnipotent.  Mordecai and Esther demonstrate that it is faith in God that overcometh the world (1 John 5:4,5).

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
