Denouncing Haman


Those who plot to do evil will be snared in their own trap. It is always best to do good and to be examples of God's children. Haman hated the Jews as so many have hated them throughout history even to this day. God protects the Jews who are his covenant people. They may be persecuted but not destroyed. Hitler tried to destroy them all but those who remain are strong even more boldly resisting their enemies.
 
Est 7:4  For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
Est 7:5  Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
Est 7:6  And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Est 7:7  And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
Est 7:8  Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
Est 7:9  And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
Est 7:10  So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
 
Pro_12:13  The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
 
Pro 11:8  The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
 
Psa 7:15  He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
Psa 7:16  His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
Psa 7:17  I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.


I trust that there are no Hamans or humans in your life seeking to destroy you, but we have a spiritual enemy, the devil who would like to destroy us all. Christ in us is stronger than the enemy and he will love us forever. Love one another and come to Jesus now for forgiveness of sins and his grace and mercy.
