Show Summary
In Esther chapter 3, the story takes a dark turn. Haman’s pride erupts into hatred, and a royal decree is issued that
threatens the destruction of God’s people. Yet even here, God’s providence is not absent. Though the city of Susa is
thrown into confusion, heaven is not shaken. The Lord remains sovereign, and His redemptive plan stands firm.
