Haman's Demise. Esther 7

 

Esther 7 – Haman’s Demise

 

Haman went to the banquet with mixed feelings. He is thrilled that the queen has invited him to dinner, but he is still mortified that Mordecai was honored and not him.

When the banquet begins, the king offers her up to half the kingdom a second time. Her request was that her life and the lives of her people be spared.

Haman had gotten an edict from the king that all the Jews in the kingdom were to be destroyed. He did not know that the queen was a Jewess.

The Queen said that they were to be destroyed on a certain date.

The king was shocked and did not expect to hear this. “Who would presume to do such a thing!” he asked. Esther replied “It is this wicked Haman.

 

God is watching over His own. No weapon formed against Israel will prosper. God is going to bless those who bless the Jews and curse those who curse the Jews.

The king is so startled that he leaves the banquet table to think this matter over. When he returns, he finds Haman groveling at the feet of the queen. Haman realizes that evil is determined against him. The king says, “Will he force the queen also before me in the house?” When the king spoke, the palace guard stepped up and took Haman under house arrest.

Haman died the same night on the gallows that he built for Mordecai.
