For the study on the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam provides us with an introduction to one of the most important portions found in the Word of God. Our sovereign God chose Israel to be a nation through whom He would bring blessings to the entire world. To Abraham He promised, "And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed". Genesis 22:18a. The divinely inspired book of Esther is filled with evidence of God's faithfulness to His promises. Although God’s name is not mentioned even once in the book of Esther, His hand of protection over His people Israel who were dispersed to Babylon and Persia, is evident. While the enemy of the Jews sought to destroy them, God, in a supernatural way preserved His people, simply because He intends to bring blessing to the world through the people of Israel. The apostle Paul wrote;" For if the casting away of them (Israel) be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them (Israel) be, but life from the dead." Romans 11:15.
