In chapter 9 we see the climax of the great reversal as the jews defeat their enemies. As the jews fight and trust God to win the battle for them, this story points us to the greatest victory of all time, Jesus' defeating his enemies on the cross. Our battle today as we live between that victory on the cross and the final victory to come is a spiritual one. As we look at what God has done, we can have great confidence that God has already won and will continue to fight for us.
