My goodness I love how this story is standing with God and her only family, even when it means yes I stand in obedience with the Lord , fast and gather the Jews, I’ll go to the King which is against the law and if I perish I perish Esther 4:16. A beautiful lady taken from her home, chosen by the King, representing and saving her people…All with the Lord’s presence, joyful and standing firm with victory in God’s name.
One thing I learned was that the Old Testament history closes after the event with Esther.
