"The Reversal of Mastery"

In this message of our Hidden Hand Series on Esther, we begin with a brief summary of ch 8, leading us into 9: 1-18. We consider our topic under these headings, 1) The Irrevocable Decree, 2) The Reversal of Mastery, and 3) The Enemies under the Curse. As always I claim no originality but will cite, quote, refer to various authors including, Ortland, Duguid, Gregory, Baldwin, Cain, and Carson.
