"The declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him... 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" (Esther 10:2,3). "And journeying toward Jerusalem... He [Jesus] said unto them... Ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.... O Jerusalem, Jerusalem... how often would I have gathered thy children together... and ye would not!" (Luke 13:22-34).
In
Mordecai, throughout his days,
Great
Messianic types were shown,
As
his afflictions led to praise
And
greatness then among His own.
Accepted
of the multitude
Of
all his brethren he would lead,
The
times of Mordecai conclude
With
"speaking peace to all his seed."
These
types reflect the time to come
When
Christ shall reign from sea to sea
Throughout
His great millennium
And
then through all eternity!
Yet
Mordecai had been afflicted,
And
so our Lord would be as well
Upon
the cross, as He predicted,
To
save us from eternal hell.
Our
Savior spoke of heaven's peace,
Yet
journeyed to Jerusalem
To
crowds demanding His decease;
And
there He tasted death for them.
Jerusalem,
your Savior would
Endure
then the unspeakable!
There
is no more Messiah could
Have
done to save the sinner's soul.
The
days of Christ's humiliation
Upon
the cross are in the past.
The
time to preach of His salvation
Is
NOW, and time is going fast!
O
Lord, we marvel at Your greatness
As
Mordecai had once portrayed,
And
now we sense the hour's lateness
With
signs of your return displayed.
The
Messianic types we trace,
Like
Mordecai and many more,
O
Lord, astound us with Your grace
As
in amazement, we adore!
