Summary of Esther Chapters 3-4

🔸Haman's Plot: Haman, a high-ranking official in the Persian court, is angered by Mordecai's refusal to bow down to him. Fueled by pride and a desire for revenge, Haman convinces King Xerxes to issue a decree ordering the extermination of all Jews throughout the Persian Empire.
🔸Mordecai's Appeal: Upon learning of Haman's plot, Mordecai sends an urgent message to Queen Esther, urging her to intercede on behalf of her people. Esther, however, is hesitant to approach the king without being summoned, as doing so could result in her death.
🔸Esther's Dilemma: Mordecai reminds Esther of her royal status and her unique position to influence the king. He emphasizes that if she remains silent, the Jewish people will surely perish, and she herself may not escape the impending doom.
🔸Esther's Decision: Despite her fear and the potential risks, Esther resolves to approach the king. She instructs her attendants to prepare a three-day fast, during which she and her maids will seek God's guidance and support.
