Esther 10:9-12. Mordecai is reflecting on all that has happened in the Book of Esther. He is tying the events back to the dream he had at the beginning of the book. He acknowledges that God has done great signs and wonders for His people which He has not done for other nations. God has made two lots, says Mordecai, one for his people and one for the other nations. And in the events that have just transpired, those two lots came to a moment of decision before God. When that happened, God "remembered his people and vindicated his inheritance."

 

A couple of things. First, I also have been having dreams (very explicit ones) and messages that I do not fully understand. They started before things really started happening with COVID and the Great Reset, and I did not understand at all what God was trying to tell me. I just felt more and more strongly that something big was coming. As events began to transpire though, I was able to fit what was happening into my past dreams and messages, just as Mordecai does.

 

Also, thanks to the Holy Spirit leading me to Bible reading and journaling some time ago, I knew to write down the dreams and messages I was receiving and to look to the Bible for help with interpretation. And boy does it help! Things made a whole lot more sense as I watched events unfold, journaled, and read the Bible. The dreams and messages continue, though, and I often don't understand them still. But now I just wait patiently, try to act when I feel I am being called to, and read, read, read - the Bible, the saints, the Marian messages, anything I can get my hands on that helps explain what is going on! Eventually, some things I did not understand crystallize and I see exactly what God was trying to tell me, just as Mordecai does here.

 

Secondly, I like the idea of the two lots that Mordecai proposes. Here it is Israel, the chosen people, who have one lot, and all the other nations in the world have the other lot. So we see that things are not equally divided at all, and in fact tiny Israel actually has the better a lot than all the other nations of the world combined, because when God has to decide between the two, He chooses Israel, He vindicates his people.

 

In today's world, the lots would be assigned as one for Christians and one for everyone else. As long as the "everyone else" lot isn't setting itself in direct opposition to the Christian lot, everything is pretty good. God loves all people, so both lots are blessed with land, food, and all of God's other gifts. But if the "everyone else" lot starts threatening the Christian lot, so that eventually the two lots come to "the hour and moment and day of decision before God and among the nations," then God will remember his inheritance and vindicate his people.

 

When it is truly us against them, through no fault of our own but just by virtue of us trying to live Christian lives in a secular world, then God will always vindicate us when it becomes necessary to do so. We can trust Him always to remember His inheritance. Also, remember that the New Testament promise, the promise of Jesus Christ, is that eventually all (or as many as do not actively reject it) will be on the Christian lot, and God will vindicate us all against the powers of darkness!.
