Esther lived, and came to the position of queen during a time of great evil. The Israelites were in peril. The time in which she lived mirrors closely some of the ills of our society:
-
An immoral king
-
A time of drunkenness and immodesty
-
A time where marriage was not respected
-
A time where life was devalued
However, it was also a time where God’s providence was active, and where one person could make a difference. Much like today!
