Essential Studies.
Esther 1 and 2, Teaching tools, and Persian history
Additional studies: Esther Index
Most Bible commentaries say that Esther’s king Ahasuerus was Xerxes, not Darius the Great. I don’t agree. If you take the authority of Scripture as your plumb line for true history, the details of Esther’s king fit Darius, not his son Xerxes, for some of the reasons we have discussed, among others. Why do the commentaries say, then, that he was Xerxes? The timeline that has been constructed for the ancient world, which modern scholars have agreed upon, places Xerxes at the right time for the timeline of biblical chronology that has been decided for Esther. That is the entire reason. Incidentally, the great biblical chronologers, such as Ussher, who are out of favor with modern scholars and historians because they held the authority of Scripture absolute in the chronology of ancient history, also believed Esther’s king to be Darius the Great. Telling.
Proverbs 18, The fruit of the lips
Additional studies: Proverbs Index
The good news is, we can control which seed is sown in us, and therefore which fruit we will bear, whether good or bad. When we feed our eyes, ears, and mind on the Word of God, receiving it with faith or belief, then good seed is sown which will produce the good fruit of life and blessing. When we feed our eyes, ears, and mind of the word of the world or the word of the enemy (he is constantly sending his lies our way), then bad seed is sown which will produce the bad fruit of death and destruction.
Revelation 14, God’s war with Babylon
Additional studies: Revelation Index
In Revelation, we have been reading about Babylon’s long war against God, when she appeared to be victorious. Now in chapter 14, we start reading about God’s war with Babylon, when He will be victorious against her. We have, in fact, been reading details of the second interval period, the Reformation and its effects. The Rev 12:1-15:4 Second Interval expanded chiasm pdf really throws the contrasts into stark relief.
