Similarly, many people are convinced that Christians are a bigger threat than
terrorists, so their freedoms and influence should be taken away. That would mean souls
that would have heard the gospel and gotten saved will be eternally lost.
Esthers first reaction was to say nothing. She could lay low, be politically correct,
and not rock the boat hoping this attack would just blow over and go away. She could
keep quiet, not expose herself as a Jew, and let someone else try to save Gods people.
But Mordecai warned her that doing so would result in her and her family being killed.
The enemy has not and will not stop trying to destroy Gods people. Satan knows that
they are the hindering force against his attacks on the work of God and must be destroyed
(II Thess. 2:7). Even though there are setbacks for Satan, he will not stop, and, eventually,
the rapture will take place and the Antichrist will come on the scene.
He also said that He had to work while it was day and there was light that was needed
to do the work. If He waited, darkness would come and He would not be able to
accomplish what was needed (Jn. 9:4).
Jesus also told His disciples to pray for more workers so the great number of souls
could be harvested before it was too late (Matt. 9:36-38).
The psalmist prayed that God would teach us to number, or take full advantage, of
our days (Ps. 90:12). Paul told the Ephesians and Colossians to redeem the time, or take
full advantage of the opportunities to win souls instead of being indifferent or neglectful
(Eph. 5:16; Col. 4:5).
The only hope Esther had of saving her family and her people was to appeal to the
king. Since she had not been summoned by the king, she would normally be killed for
just going into his court. That meant she had to risk everything to try to save her people.
Similarly, a person has to give up everything (Matthew 4:20,22; 16:25; Mark 10:28; Luke
5:11; 14:26) not just to be saved, but also to be used of God to win the lost.
Who knows whether you are come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
