Esther 10:1–3, “And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea. And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.”
In its heyday the Persian Empire was great and wealthy. They taxed the surrounding nations and even the islands in the Aegean Sea. Next to the king, Mordecai, the Jew, was the leading man in the kingdom. His status was similar to that of Joseph in Egypt over a thousand years before. When the Lord wanted to save His people, he chose outstanding individuals and gave them places of honour and authority in the superpowers of the day. As the Lord saved His people, those who hosted them prospered as well.
