Gentlemen,
There is a three-day time gap between Esther chapters 4 and 5, during which the Queen is fasting (and certainly praying). We have a seven-day time gap until our next study, during which you can reflect on and research these questions about chapters 5 and 6 in order to prepare you for our time together.
- Based on what occurs in chapter 5, in what specific ways has Esther changed during this three-day time period?
- Why do you think this occurred?
- Can you identify other biblical characters who experienced a similar transformation?
- What is the significance of the king’s response in 5:3?
- What is the biblical principle behind Haman’s actions in 5:11-12?
- How high is “fifty cubits”? (5:14)
- Why couldn’t Ahasuerus sleep? (6:1)
- What is the biblical principle behind Haman’s thoughts in 6:6?
- What is the true significance of Haman’s request in 6:7-9?
Download next Monday’s handouts on Esther chapters 5 and 6. They are available at the “Media Drop Box” located on the right-side toolbar, under “Bible Study Tools.”
Dessert will be served at 7 pm … the study starts shortly after that.
