Esther 8:13
A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued as law in every province and made known to the people of every nationality so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Fri, Dec. 17, AVENGE (Est. 8:13). God hates violence. But, God allows defense. We shouldn’t be helpless while we can do something. We don’t let the injustice happens in our life or families. By doing so, the defense, we can avoid and prevent injustice violence to happen.
1. The Jews were informed.
The attack of The Persian was made known to them. They knew when The Persian would come to them.
2. The Jews were allowed.
The king granted The Jews to protect themselves, to kill and to destroy all people whom threatened them. They might stand on their feet to assemble to make stronger force.
3. The Jewd were prepared.
They might be ready with the weapons needed for war. Of course, those things made The Persian cancelled their plan to attack. They didn’t continue their plan, because of the fight would cause them greater harm. So, violence is prohibited, but we have to be actively try to promote peace. ASH.
