Esther Sending Word to Mordecai by Her Messengerby MuzFamily
4:12Esther 4:12
And they told to Mordecai Esther’s words.
Esther 4:12 belongs to the crisis under Ahasuerus in Persia, when a Jewish maiden had been brought to the throne and Haman plotted to destroy the Jews. In that crisis Satan was working through Haman and Medo-Persia, the second head of the Satan-controlled beast system of government, to destroy all the people of God, the woman through whom the Man-child should come. The verse records that Esther's words and reply were carried back to Mordecai as part of their exchange in that plot.
The exchange concerned Mordecai urging Esther to go before the king unbidden to plead for her people, requiring her to decide whether to risk her life despite the danger. Mordecai's answer was that Esther should not think she would escape the fate of the Jews simply because she lived in the king's house. God's providence overruled Haman's plot and saved the Jews from their enemies. The outcome shows God again frustrated Satan's purpose to wipe out His people. The verse is connected with Mordecai's prayer, which was followed by Haman's execution and Israel's deliverance.
