We've been preaching a series of messages called, "The Original Route 66," choosing one message from each book of the scripture. We are in a sub-series from the Old Testament books of history called "Bible Giants."

King Saul was commanded by Samuel to destroy King Agag and all of his descendants and Saul was disobedient. King Agag was a descendent of the Edomites, who were the descendants of Esau. The Bible said that Israel would be at perpetual war with the Edomites.

So when you look at the book of Esther and you compare the life of Haman and Mordecai, and you see their opposing influences, you
see symbolically the battle between heaven and hell, light and darkness, and Christ and Satan. And wherever you find the Jews you find great ...
