THIS IS A PHOTO OF ISIS MURDERING FOLLOWERS OF JESUS: DON'T THINK IT'S OVER
The above is what Mordecai was fighting against. The decree had been issued that all the Jews in the Empire were to be murdered. Satanic people have never once given up this desire, viz., the elimination of the Covenant People, those who, "follow the Lamb wherever He goes."
I have often heard over the years the phrase, "those who are on the front lines." Don't listen to this. You and I are on the "front lines." Everyone who is surrendered to Jesus is on the "front lines." In fact, there are no "front lines." This is not a WW II kind of war. It is, in the very real sense, a guerilla war. Just about the time you think you know where the enemy is and where he might come from, he is not there and comes from another direction. This war has been going on since the Garden.
I believe Mordecai is a prime example of one who is a "type" of Jesus. Mordecai looked after Esther when she was orphaned; and just so our Lord Jesus Christ. The hymn says,
"Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wondering from the fold of God.
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His Precious Blood."
We were lost, under the attack of the Enemy, heading toward destruction, just as the Jews during Mordecai's time. We were, as Ephesians 2 says, "....having no hope and without God in the world." But Jesus, who is our hope, became hope in us, came to live in us, and now we have, "God in the world," and in "our world." Just as during the Media-Persian Empire, the enemy is everywhere, "seeking whom he may devour," but Jesus is "everywhere," seeking whom He can save and keep; ergo, you and I are saved and kept, as Peter says, "by the power of God."
Father, in Jesus' Name, in this world of war and woe, as a song says, "I'm glad there is You." Amen.

I was in the Supreme Court Building yesterday, the Capitol Building, near the White House and a couple hours in "David's Tent." Got home about 01:00. Thanks for any prayers.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
