For years I have loved the book of Esther. Then during our study of the book of Daniel I learned that Esther was Queen of the Entire world!!! She was queen of the Medo-Persion Empire (the Second World Empire.) Talk about a "Cinderella Story"!
I,too, had read the book of Esther many times but had never really paid attention to the scope of the king's reign until I started studying Esther a few months ago. When I looked on a map of the Middle East to see just how much ground his 127 provinces from "India even unto Ethiopia" I was shocked that it was from one side of the map to the other! I will be finishing up teaching Esther in our ladies Sunday School class Sunday. I am sort of sad that it will be coming to an end. It's been so good!
