Esther 8 Explained | Journey 19 Day 74

Esther 8: The Rise of Mordecai | Mordecai is elevated to the role of Prime Minister, and writes a new edict for the King allowing the Jews to defend themselves in the coming attack.Journey 19 | Restoration. Journey Nineteen guides us through the powerful and epic story in the Bible's Books of Restoration. The Old Testament history is completed as Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther tell the story of God restoring his people back to their homeland. Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi prophesy to the nation, as God declares, "Return to me, and I will return to you." Then in the NT, Ephesians brings God's restoration into our own lives as we learn the power of grace and how to walk in it. Finally Philemon delivers a powerful statement against slavery and a call to recognize the brotherhood that Christ brings to all humanity.
