Esther: A Study About Christ and the Church, Past Present, Future by Arlen Chitwood and published by Classics.
There are two books in Scripture named for women - Ruth and Esther - and no one knows who wrote either book. But both books form major keys to a correct understanding of the whole of Scripture. Each book, from a typical perspective, covers a complete panorama of the triune Godhead's dealings with both the Church and Israel. Ruth deals with Christ and the Church, and Esther deals with God and Israel. And the two books together reflect upon and relate thecomplete story of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation.
The information provided in these two books is indispensable to a correct understanding of numerous parts of Scripture. And this would be particularly true relative to a correct understanding of the Book of Revelation, for both Ruth and Esther deal heavily with the same subject matter seen in this book.Thus, any proper exposition of the Book of Revelation will, of necessity, have to draw heavily from both Ruth and Esther - along with other Old Testament books such as Exodus and Daniel - or miss the mark on vital points of interpretation. In this respect, God has provided His Own built-in interpretation of His Word; and that which God has provided is the only completely correct interpretation in existence.
