The Day of Avenging Esther 8 11-14





Read the passage: Esther 8

Applying new testament understanding to an old testament story.

1.Evil plots against God's people throughout this age.



v.112.A day is coming when God will gather His own unto Himself.
(gather themselves together)



v.113.God will revoke the license of evil.
(to defend their lives)
God is allowing evil its ruinous work today.
But, God controls everything. Thus, evil will cease when God says.


v.114.God will rend evil powerless.
(all the power of the people and province that would assault them)



v.115.God will bring judgment upon all who oppose Him and His own.
(to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, ...)



v.12,6.The day of avenging is coming to God's people- will be granted by God. 
  13(Upon one day ... and that the Jews should be ready to avenge themselves on their enemies.)


v.147.God will hasten judgment until it is satisfied.
(...being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment.)It will happen.  
God's people will be free from the judgment of sin.

God's people will return with Christ at Armagaddon.
