Supernatural Strength Of Esther Research Paper

For this assignment I chose to explain the supernatural strength of Esther. Esther was supernaturally deployed in her place and time to preserve the Jews. God’s plan was for Jesus Christ to be born a Jew and if Haman had his way, he would have killed all the Jews in King Ahasuerus’s entire province. Of course this is yet another plot of the enemy in attempt to stop the birth of Jesus our Lord and Savior. Throughout the bible, the enemy tries to stop the seed in the woman that God planted for the salvation of His children.

Esther also requested the reverse of the plan of Haman to kill all Jews and a new decree was written in the favor of the Jews and was sealed with the Kings ring.

Since Gentiles became Jews during this time, this portion of the story makes me think about how God’s original people were Jews but then Gentiles were adopted into the Kingdom of God by the blood of Jesus Christ. While reading the book of Esther, we can find different instances that reminds of the story of Jesus. Esther’s other requests were granted as well. She requested the hanging of Haman’s tens sons.
