Esther 1:1-8
The king Xerxes who ruled over 17 provinces stretching from India to Cush. For a full 180 days he displayed the vast wealth of his kingdom and the splendor ad glory of his majesty.
Esther tell the story of a plot to exterminate the entire Jewish nation in the days of the Persian king. Ahasuerus, and how it was thwarted. It also explains the origin of the Jewish Feast of Pruim.
The Persian emperor Ahasuerus reigned from 486-465 BC over an empire stretching from the Indus to northern Sudan. He was the son of Darius I, who left him vast wealth and a new luxurious palace complex at Susa. Excavation has revealed the throne room, harem and a 'paradise'
Why?
King Xerxes though he is the king over all, he has wealth and paradise in Susa. He was proud for what he has. He lives like God in his kingdom.
Do not like this world but focus on the kingdom of God in heaven.
How?
Do not lust for this world, for all of this world will be away. The precious and honor in heaven is everlasting. Admire the glory in heaven.
