The Battle Between Christ and Satan in the Parable of Esther
In this parable look for Christ and the Gospel; God did not make a mistake when He included Esther into the Bible.
King Ahasuerus is a picture of God (Examples are: Isaiah 44:28-45:13, 1st Samuel 10:1-13, 1st Samuel 11:1-15).

Haman represents Satan.
The ten sons of Haman represent the complete number of fallen angels.
