The Book of Esther records another epic story of how God delivers his people from disaster through an unlikely source. However, reading Esther can be very confusing in English Bibles because of the manuscript tradition that mixes up many of the chapters and verses. Let's examine why that is.Enjoy this sample fromLesson 1, "Introducing the Book of Esther," from Dr. Nick's course, "Esther: The Intercessory Queen."

Judith 1-7 forms the first half of the book which focuses on painting a portrait of the enemy, who by all accounts is overwhelmingly powerful and unstoppable. Nebuchadnezzar sends his commander-in-chief Holofernes to subdue all peoples who oppose him. Everyone submits quickly to this juggernaut, except for the Jews.

2024/04/22

The Southern Kingdom of Judah continued to exist for approximately 150 years after Israel fell to Assyria in 722 BC. During that time there were some terrific highs and terrifying lows for the Davidic Kingdom. We see some phenomenal efforts at reform in the reigns of Hezekiah and Josiah, but it's too little too late for a people who seem hell-bent on rejecting God's call for repentance. Babylon will come to Jerusalem to destroy the city and Solomon's temple, a truly tragic and horrific

Elijah is the first of the great prophets in the Old Testament. In fact, he is called "the father of prophets" and for good reason.

Because of Solomon's sins, the kingdom was to be torn away from him as the prophet Ahijah foretold. However, this tearing away should be understood as a "divorce" between the Davidic king and the tribes of Israel. This terrible split was brought about by the abusive and violent wordsof Rehoboam, Solomon's very unwise heir, and won't be remedieduntil the new son of David, Jesus Christ, comes to heal this deep wound and lovingly bring Israel back to himself.Enjoy this sample fromLesson 5,
