It's Day 20 and we're in Esther 8.Where God Spoke To Me:
- Nothing really jumped out to me today. That's ok - there are days like that.
Help:
- Verse 11 - The king's edict makes me wonder why he didn't just issue a proclamation that said, "Nevermind. No killing of the Jews." Instead, he issues this proclamation that speaks more of the Jews defending themselves and even plundering those who attack. My presumption is that the proclamation is that way because there were those within the kingdom with great hatred for the Jews who might have ignored the king's retraction and then after the fact claimed they didn't get word in time.

Your Thoughts:
- v. 8 - "My take on the last sentence was that Haman's face reflected his fear at hearing the king's rage."
