Bible Question: what is the specific purpose of the book of Esther in the Bible? What is the lesson to be learned? |
Bible Answer: ALL58: "The purpose of the book is didactic: the glorification of the Jewish people and the explanation of the origin, significance and date of the feast of Purim on the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar (February-March). The book was intended as a consolation for Israel, a reminder that God's providence continually watches over them, never abandoning them when they serve him faithfully or turn to him in sincere repentance."
