The Day Everything Changed (Part 1) - Esther 8:1-14

The decree to destroy the Jews was signed on the 13th day of the first month. The decree that we will examine today was signed on the 23rd day of the third month. The means over two months have passed since the signing of the first decree. Remember the execution date was set for the 13th day of the twelfth month. I could imagine some starting to think that nobody cares, and nothing will be done to save the Jews. There may have been some who started to wonder if God would save them from this destruction. Although there are many details that led to this day, it would appear to many that everything changed in one day. We must trust the timing of God.
