Feb 29- Mch 6 MW 1. How did Esther show modesty and self-control? (Es 2:15) [/u]. It was “the secret person of the heart in the incorruptible apparel of the quiet and mild spirit” that won Esther the king’s favor.—1 Peter 3:4." - [w06 3/1 p.9 par. 7][/ul] Feb 29- Mch 6 MW 2. Why might Mordecai have refused to bow down to Haman? (Es 3:2-4) [/u]. He stood his ground. To this day, men and women of faith have risked their lives to adhere to this principle: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.”—Acts 5:29." - [ia p. 131 par.18][/ul] Mch 7 - 13 MW 3. How was Jacob’s deathbed prophecy fulfilled regarding Benjamin’s ‘dividing spoil in the evening’? (Es 8:1, 2) [/b]: In fighting for God’s people, Esther and Mordecai fulfilled an ancient Bible prophecy. Over a dozen centuries earlier, Jehovah inspired the patriarch Jacob to foretell regarding one of his sons: “Benjamin will keep on tearing like a wolf. In the morning he will eat the animal seized and at evening he will divide spoil.” (Gen. 49:27) In “the morning” of Israel’s kingly history, Benjamin’s descendants included King Saul and other mighty warriors for Jehovah’s people. In the “evening” of that royal history, after the sun had set on Israel’s kingly line, Esther and Mordecai, both of the tribe of Benjamin, warred effectively against Jehovah’s enemies. In a sense, they also divided spoil, in that Haman’s vast estate went to them." - [ia 142, box][/ul] Mch 7 - 13 MW 4. Even though the decree authorized plundering of the spoil, why did the Jews refrain from doing so? (Es 9:10, 15, 16) [/a][/ul]
