Nancy & Shalom, "Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked: For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out." Proverbs 24:19-20 I remember God's promise to Abraham of, "I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee" which has not been rescinded. Haman and whoever would have carried out his instructions were instantly under God's righteous judgment because of the plotting against the Jews. I see Esther more as the tool of the Lord for His purpose. God's providence for and rebuking of the Jews is seen numerous times. This is another occasion of God's intervention, however harsh it may appear, to preserve them. I'm trying to remember or find out who it was that was asked, "Prove that God exists." He replied, "The Jew of course. They are a people that should not be." Referring to how often Satan has made his best efforts to destroy them. God will always intervene. In Christ, John

><>...Good morning Nancy...><> Good to see you back again. How have you and your family been? I trust all is well with your soul. Anthing happening yet on the trial? You asked me this about Esther, Can you please share the verses that you feel portray Esther as blood thirsty. Esther is one book I do not care to go into in any more depth, than I already have. If you wish to hold Esther in high regard,that is your decision. I stand with you on that. Nancy you wrote; This is the word of God and if there is a problem with understanding why it is there it is our lack of understanding of what God wants us to know. And I stand with you on this also. You also wrote: Esther was a heroine because of the love and loyalty she had for her people and her God IMO. Scripture is totally absent concerning,...even as to implication of her God. But again I say with all deference to you, and respect to your understanding, if Esther is a hero to you, then so be it. I sincerely mean that Nancy. I truly have no qualms with you. In Christ's Love Shalom...><> BTW...I also stand with you on your characterization of Haman
