Esther 9:1–2 KJV 1900
1 Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on
the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s
commandment and his decree drew near to be put in
execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews
hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned
to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that

hated them;)
2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities
throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to
lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could
withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all
people.
The Recorded Time of the Rally
“Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar,
on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s
commandment and his decree drew near to be put in
execution”
The Timing is important because the Lord showed up
Just in Time
The Lord is never late nor is the Lord too Early but is
always right on time.
Perhaps you are going thru something in your life
and you are worrying if the Lord is going to show up
or if He is going to intervene, don’t worry child, Trust
Him and you will Triumph
The Reason for the Rally
Defend Themselves
They were Activated for Battle
Remember last week we just talked about letters
being sent out with the new policy advising them
to defend themselves
As Christians we need to be aware that
notification has went out that we are to be
prepared
We have an Adversary out to Attack us

1 Peter 5:8 KJV 1900
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking
whom he may devour:
2 Corinthians 2:11 KJV 1900
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for
we are not ignorant of his devices.
They were Assembled for Battle
“Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month
Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the
king’s commandment and his decree drew near to
be put in execution”
The time is now that Christians unite and set aside
our differences
The time is now that the Church unite and set
aside our differences
The time is now that the Country unite and set
aside our differences
Acts 1:14 KJV 1900
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer
and supplication, with the women, and Mary the
mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Romans 12:5 KJV 1900
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and
every one members one of another.
1 Corinthians 12:12 KJV 1900
12 For as the body is one, and hath many
members, and all the members of that one body,
being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
*United not Divided
They were Adorned for Battle

Armored
We don’t know what they would have had for
armor but they would surely had rounded up
what ever the Lord had provided for them to
protect themselves and their familes
We do know what the Lord has provided for us
to be Armored with
Ephesians 6:10–17 KJV 1900
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye
may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour
of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about
with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of
the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the

Armed
We don’t know what they had to defend
themselves but I am certain they came up with
what every tools or sword they could find to
protect against the enemy
They did have Swords “Jews smote all their
enemies with the stroke of the sword”
We do know what the Lord has provided for us
Ephesians 6:17–18 KJV 1900
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watching

supplication for all saints;

purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

Ghost and of faith: and much people was added

The Recognition of the Jews
v 3-4
Esther 9:3–4 KJV 1900
3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants,
and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the
Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
4 For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his
fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this
man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
Favor the Jews
“And all the rulers of the provinces, and the
lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the
king, helped the Jews”
God made their Adversaries to become Allies
Proverbs 16:7 KJV 1900
7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, He maketh
even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Fear of the Jews
“because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them”

“greater and greater”
The Retaliation of the Jews v
5-16
Esther 9:5–14 KJV 1900
5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke
of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did
what they would unto those that hated them.
6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and
destroyed five hundred men.
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the
enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they
not their hand.
11 On that day the number of those that were slain in
Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
12 And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews
have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan
the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they
done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what is thy
petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy
request further? and it shall be done.
13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted
to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also

according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten
sons be hanged upon the gallows.
14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the
decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s
ten sons.
Esther 9:15–16 KJV 1900
15 For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered
themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the
month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan;
but on the prey they laid not their hand.
16 But the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces
gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives,
and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes
seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands
on the prey,
The Jews were Superior
“No Man could withstand them”
As a Born Again Believer we are Victors
1 Corinthians 15:57 KJV 1900
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 John 5:4 KJV 1900
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the
world: and this is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith.
Romans 8:38–39 KJV 1900
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall
be able to separate us from the love of God, which is

John 16:33 KJV 1900
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye
might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world.
1 John 4:4 KJV 1900
4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome
them: because greater is he that is in you, than he
that is in the world.
Revelation 17:14 KJV 1900
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the
Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords,
and King of kings: and they that are with him are
called, and chosen, and faithful.
The Jews were Successful
• 127 Providences
• 0 Jews that I could find died
• 10 sons of Haman hanged on a tree, they likely
hanged on the same gallows Haman was hanged
on which were meant for Mordecai. They also
would likely had been left hanging for further
disgrace and deterrent/discouragement from
attacking the Jews.
• 500 killed in Sushan the 1st day
• 300 killed in Sushan the 2nd day
• 75,000 killed in the other providences
When you are in the Lord’s army you can take 300

When you are in the Lord’s army you can walk
around the city to destroy the walls

The Jews Suppressed
“But on the spoil laid they not their hand”
The Jews refused to take of the spoils of the battles
Joshua 6:18 KJV 1900
18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the
accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed,
when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the
camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
The Lord wants us to depend on him for our
provisions, not by depending on the things of the
world
The Reflection of the Jews v
17-32
Esther 9:17–19 KJV 1900
17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the
fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a
day of feasting and gladness.
18 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled
together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the
fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same
they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the

10
unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month
Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day,
and of sending portions one to another.
Resting
“they rested”
After our Spiritual Battles we should find a time of
resting
We should be sure to take time off, it is a good thing
to work but we need time to rest.
Every night I try to make my way to bed at 9pm and
be asleep before 10pm as I wake up at 4am. This
ensures I get 6 hours of sleep then on Saturdays I try
to still be asleep by the same time but sleep in till
6am
Esther 9:22–23 KJV 1900
22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their
enemies, and the month which was turned unto
them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a
good day: that they should make them days of
feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to
another, and gifts to the poor.
23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun,
and as Mordecai had written unto them;
Matthew 11:28–30 KJV 1900
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: Fret
not thyself because of him who prospereth in his
way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked
devices to pass.
Jeremiah 6:16 KJV 1900
16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see,
and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and
walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But
they said, We will not walk therein.
Refueling
“day of feasting”
After a battle our spiritual bodies are depleted and
need refueling and we need to refuel
Luke 9:16–17 KJV 1900
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes,
and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and
brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the
multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was
taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve
baskets.
John 6:35 KJV 1900
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he
that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that
believeth on me shall never thirst.

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery
trial which is to try you, as though some strange
thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s
sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye
may be glad also with exceeding joy.

upon their seed, and upon all such as joined
themselves unto them, so as it should not fail,
that they would keep these two days according to
their writing, and according to their appointed
time every year;
28 And that these days should be remembered and
