What does Esther 4:14 mean?
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this
time
And will not speak to the king in favour of the Jews, because of
the danger she would be exposed to in doing it:
then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the
Jews from
another place;
Mordecai seemed confident of it, that by some means or another
the Jews would be delivered; if not through the intercession of
Esther, yet from some other quarter, or by some other hand:
but thou and thy father's house shall be
destroyed;
for such neglect of the people of God when in distress, want of
pity to them, and not exerting herself as she might in their
behalf; so that seeing she and her family must perish, it was
better to perish in a good cause than in a bad one:
and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for
such a time as
this?
he intimates that he believed that the providence of God had
raised her to that dignity, that she might be an instrument of
saving his people in the time of their distress; and this he said
to encourage her to make the experiment.
