Pastor Rob Davis: Esther 7-8

In Esther 7:1-8:17 (Act 6) we are shown 6 more stunning reversals as God continues to orchestrate His will.

1. Haman’s status with the king is reversed from friend to foe (7:1-6).
2. The gallows’ victim is reversed from Mordecai to Haman (7:7-10).
3. The status of Esther’s nationality is reversed from secret to known (8:1).
4. The authority of the king is reversed from Haman to Mordecai (8:2-8).
5. The outcome of Haman’s decree is reversed from annihilation to preservation of the Jews (8:9-16).
6. The emotional state of the Jews is reversed from mourning to gladness (8:17).
