The ring fell on enemys hand

VII. EXPLICATION: [Source: Thompson Chain - Bible Book Outlines]

A. Author: unknown

B. Canonicity: The right of this book to be placed in the Scripture has been questioned because the name of GOD does not appear in it, while a heathen king is referred to over one hundred and fifty times.

C. Date written: Sometime before 464 B.C. and 435 B.C.

D. Purpose: To document and demonstrate God's sovereign care of His people, especially for those who remain within Gentile communities.

E. To whom written: Scattered Jewish people everywhere

F. Main Theme: The deliverance of the Jews by Queen Esther

G. Keyword: Providence

H. Key verse: Esther 4:14

Esther 4:14 (Amplified Bible)

For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?

I. Message: Without a doubt it occupies its place in God's Word because of its hidden teaching of an overshadowing providence in connection with God's people and the certainty of retribution overtaking their enemies.

VIII. MAIN BODY:
