The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Yearنموونە

Week 34. Day 5. Esther 5-10.

Ch 5 Note the dramatic tension in as the gallows is erected by Haman. What is he expecting to happen on that gallows?

Ch 6-10 Reversals

What is the turning point at the beginning of Ch6?

What is the fate for:

• The Jewish people
• Their enemies

Some have been uncomfortable with the harshness of the retaliation in Ch 8-10, but these chapters should again be read in light of Gen 3:15. God is preserving the line through which salvation will come to the world!

For Reflection:

Is God present in the book of Esther?

Why do you think Esther was written? What is its message?

NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
