If I Perish, I Perish A Few Remarkable Things We Can Learn from Queen Esther

Randy Keeler expounds from the Bible in Esther Chapter 4, where in the midst of a dark hour in Israel's history, a most unlikely candidate arises - a beauty queen contestant, who rises to a critical moment in the history of the ancient world. The newly crowned Queen Esther receives word from her relative Mordecai of a wicked plot to annihilate all the Jews living in Persia. Esther's year of beauty preparation prepared her for a moment of divine providence, when she boldly stands up to a powerful heathen king, to plead for the lives of her Jewish people. This event has been remembered as the Jewish event of Purim, which should never be forgotten. This was truly a miracle of God's deliverance from a potential holocaust. Should we fail to remember, we might find history repeating itself. Today, we live in a similar moment in which dark forces of antisemitism are rising again to destroy God's people. In the midst of this, will Jews and Christians speak up, realizing they have perhaps been "brought into the kingdom for a time such as this? The sin of silence will be our undoing. Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil". Today, will the woke ideologues of the new world order silence today's believers to shut up, while the hard Left advances their ideology from Hell? Radical liberalism is advancing in our government, schools, churches, colleges, and universities. Will you speak up before it's too late? Remembering the story of Purim, Randy Keeler challenges believers to stand up against this insidious advancement of evil, even if it requires them to lay down their lives by saying, "If I perish, I perish".
