This week Todd and Chris turn to the book of Esther.  Todd really has some great insight into the book since he grew up Jewish.  How do we understand this book that never mentions God?  Is God still there?  What about his promises?  What does God's apparent absence mean for the promised Messiah?  Whose word is irrevocable: the decree of the Medes and the Persians, or God's word?  Listen in as we talk about finding Christ in this unique book of the Bible.   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) The Unfolding Mystery series by Lee Irons Biblical Theology by Geerhardus Vos The Unfolding Mystery by Edmund Clowney Introduction to the Old Testament by Longman and Dillard Kingdom Prologue by Meredith G.

A king who can atone for apostasy. A king that can truly unify the people. A king who lives forever. A king who can rid the land of the Canaanites - kingdom In Judges, our own hearts are revealed apart from a King who can make us righteous.  In a sense, Judges exegetes Genesis 3 and the need for Christ the king.
