Though Haman is dead, his genocidal edict remains. Esther pleads with the king, who authorizes Mordecai to issue a new decree allowing the Jews to defend themselves. Couriers speed the message across the empire, turning despair into joy. When the appointed day comes, the Jews prevail, defeating their enemies without taking plunder—showing restraint and integrity. Haman’s sons are executed, and future uprisings are crushed. Esther and Mordecai establish the annual Feast of Purim to commemorate God’s deliverance. The book closes with Mordecai honored as second to the king, seeking the welfare of his people. Though God’s name is never mentioned, His providence and power are unmistakable: He is unseen but never absent, invisible yet invincible.
Invisible … Invincible!
