Verse im Zusammenhang mit Esther, 10:

Esther 10 concludes Esther's story with a brief description of Mordecai's power and her position in the Persian king's court. The central themes of this chapter are Mordecai's triumph over his enemies and the prosperity of Judah under the reign of Artaxerxes. Below are five verses that relate to these themes:

Nehemiah 2:8: "And a letter to Asaph, guard of the king's forest, to give me wood to cover the doors of the temple fortress and to the wall of the city and to the house where I will live." Mordecai is described in Esther 10:3 as a Jewish leader of great power and influence on the court of the Persian king. This verse in Nehemiah suggests that Mordecai used this influence to help rebuild the city of Jerusalem and the temple.

Ezra 7:1-10: This passage lists the Jewish leaders who returned from Babylonian exile and settled in Judah. Among them are descendants of Mordecai and other leaders of Esther's family. This suggests that the influence of Mordecai and Esther in Corte Persian helped ensure the safety and prosperity of the Jewish people after exile.

Ezra 6:14: "The leaders of the Jews continued to make progress in the construction of the temple and were encouraged by the prophet Haggai and the prophet Zechariah the son of gone." This verse shows that the temple in Jerusalem was successfully built after the return of the Babylonian exiles. Mordecai's influence on Corte Persian may have helped ensure the successful conclusion of this work.

Ezra 4:6: "In the reign of Xerxes at the beginning of their reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem." Ezra 4 describes the opposition that the Jewish people faced as they tried to rebuild the city of Jerusalem and the temple. Although Esther and Mordecai are not mentioned in this chapter, his influence on the Persian court may have helped to protect Judah from the opposition of the Persian rulers.

Isaiah 44:28-45:1: "Thus says the Lord to his anointed, Cyrus, whom I took by the right hand to subvert nations before him and to untie the bands, to open the doors and doors not to do not open before him will be closed ". This prophetic passage foresees the role of Cyrus, king of Persia, in the liberation of the Jews of Babylonian exile and in the reconstruction of the temple in Jerusalem. Although Cyrus is not mentioned in Esther's story, he is an important character in the history of Persia and the liberation of the Jews of Babylonian exile.
