And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
The decree of Esther confirmed the matters of Purim and was written in a book, belonging to the events of Esther 3-9 in which God frustrated Haman's plan to destroy all God's people under Medo-Persian rule. It belongs to the crisis in which Haman, a descendant of Agag among the Amalekites scattered through the Persian kingdom, in hatred of the Jews obtained a decree to destroy them. That attempt was made during the reign of Ahasuerus to destroy all of God's people, but God frustrated that purpose and preserved them.
It belongs to the account of the counter decree that saved the Jewish people from destruction and brought about the overthrow of their enemies, preserving the godly line. It confirms the matters of Purim, the feast whose name comes from Pur meaning lot for the casting of lots, showing how God saved His people from that plotting. The Purim account is a lesson about the conflict between human religious commands and obedience to God, in which those who refuse to conform face an attempt to put them to death, but God delivers His people.
Esther 9 shows that the time of Christ's coming can be known by all who desire to understand and be ready, and helps prove that Christ will come sometime between March 21st, 1843 and March 21st, 1844 to bring all His saints with Him and reward every man as his work shall be.
