Haman chooses a date for his terroristic attack by claiming the Jewish people are rebels.

 “In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.” Esther 3:7

The phrase “…to determine the day and the month…” indicates the date that Haman chose to kill all the Jewish people, just as the terrorist group Hamas chose October 7, 2023, to attack Israel. Also, like Haman, Hitler wanted to eradicate every single Jewish person. The Holocaust alone reveals Hitler’s extermination of six million Jews in Germany by subjecting them to gas chambers and other forms of torture and suffering.

To this day, the Feast of Esther, also known as the Feast of Purim, is celebrated every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar. The feast celebrates the Jewish people given the leeway by the king to fight against the terrorist attack planned by Haman, who plotted to massacre them. By appealing to the king, Queen Esther secured the right for the Jewish people to fight back against the terrorism. This mirrors the State of Israel being given the leeway to fight back against the terrorist group Hamas under the government of the United Nations. Hitler deprived the Jewish people of any opportunity to resist, he herded them like sheep to their slaughter.

“Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people’s, and they do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.” Esther 3:8

The Jewish people were the target of Haman’s attack because they did not follow the king’s laws and they differed from the other people who lived in various cities and states. They followed the Ten Commandments which made them a peculiar people set apart for God. Today, Hamas has attacked the State of Israel because they know Israel does not conform to the goals of the United Nations (the global government of the beast). The United Nations aims to unify the Middle East as a step towards establishing the one world government. However, Israel stands out from its neighbors in the Middle East because it does not conform to the agenda of relinquishing its sovereignty to the world authority. The international community does not think that Israel should remain in its current form.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are different from the global culture, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a Holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvellous light…” 1 Peter 2:9 The government of the beast does not think it is fitting for Christianity to remain as is.

The global culture of the beast lives by the entity giving them what to think, feel, do and say but we desire to conform to the image of Christ in what we think, feel, do, and say. They surrender their body to that entity “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”. As followers of Jesus Christ, we dedicate our body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 We stand apart as people who are different and peculiar from the anti-Christian ways of this world, “…what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God.” 2 Corinthians 6:16

 “If it pleases the king, let a decree be written that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who do the work, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.” Esther 3:9

Haman swore to annihilate a people whom the narcissistic and grandiose king would have deemed to have no value. Haman financed the war against the Jewish people himself, depositing money into the royal treasury and then withdrawing it to pay those carrying out the terrorism. All he required from the king was permission to authorize the destruction of the Jewish people.

Hamas’s actions resemble those of Haman. They fund terrorism against the State of Israel with the tacit or implied approval or leniency of the international community. The war does not benefit the State of Israel at all, but it boosts the United Nations and the Palestinian people. As it stands today, the State of Israel has no value to the global government of the beast because Israel is unwilling to give up its sovereignty to a one world government.

Today, the global culture of the beast has tacit or implied permission to destroy not only the State of Israel but also the belief in God, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. They destroy the idea of the authority of God the Creator and assert their own will. They do not feel any guilt, regret, or remorse, and bring destruction to the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ. They treat the Holy Spirit as someone to oppress, manipulate, abuse, and destroy.

“So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews. And the king said to Haman, “The money and the people are given to you, to do with them as seems good to you.” Esther 3:10-11

The king, who was narcissistic and grandiose, officially allowed Haman, who hated the Jewish people, to terrorize and destroy them. The king was indifferent and felt no empathy for the people who worshipped the Lord God instead of him. Today, Hamas, a group that harbors hatred for the Jewish people, has been permitted under the watch of the United Nations to terrorize the State of Israel as is their desire. Although that permission is not explicitly stated, it is certainly official in a tacit or implied way. Israel’s existence as a sovereign state hinders the establishment of a one world government, which is why the world leaders are indifferent and lack empathy for the State of Israel.
