This inspiring book explores the timeless love stories of Ruth and Esther. It shows how these enchanting narratives speak of the elect of all Israel and even reveal our future as Believers. The God of Israel long-ago divided Israel, His bride, into two houses: Ephraim and Judah. The history of both of these houses of Israel, and their divine destiny, is hidden in these fascinating books of Scripture. In breathtaking fashion they reveal the redemption and restoration of all Israel. In his encouraging style, Frank Morgan shares some of the wonderful insights the Father has allowed him to see in the Word (Jeremiah 33:3; Isaiah 48:6). He unveils the deep truths found in these stories of a widow and a maiden, both of whom were used mightily by the God of Israel. Morgan eloquently provides glimpses of the depth of YHVH's great love for each of us; he also provides many insights into the Father's great and glorious latter-day plan for a reunited, redeemed, and fully restored people of Israel.

Among the books of the Old Testament, the book of Esther presents significant interpretive problems. The book has been preserved in Greek and Hebrew texts that diverge greatly from each other. As a result, Jews and Protestants usually read a version of the book of Esther that is several chapters shorter than the one in most Catholic and Orthodox Bibles. Jon D. Levenson capably guides the reader through both the longer Greek version and the shorter Hebrew one, demonstrating their coherence and their differences. This commentary listens to the voices of modern scholarship as well as rabbinic interpretation, providing a wealth of interpretive results
