Haman establishes a law to eliminate the Jewish people in every city and state. 

Esther 3:12-15

“Then the king’s scribes were called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree was written according to all that Haman commanded—to the king’s satraps, to the governors who were over each province, to the officials of all people, to every province according to its script, and to every people in their language. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written, and sealed with the king’s signet ring.” Esther 3:12

One thing about doing something in the name of a narcissistic and grandiose person is they never take responsibility for failures, but blames those who tarnish their image and authority. This was the fate of Haman, whose plot against the Jewish people backfired when Queen Esther revealed her Jewish identity. The narcissistic King Ahasuerus ordered him to be hanged for his treachery as written in Esther 7. Today, Hamas is properly called a terrorist organization even though they had been given the leeway to attack the State of Israel. Its fate will resemble that of Haman. Likewise, in the name of Hitler, laws went out to every governing official from top to bottom to eradicate the Jewish people. His fate didn’t end well either.

The war between Hamas and Israel, which started on October 7, 2023, is still raging on January 4, 2024. Despite the advanced intelligence, military and global organizations in the world, no one is intervening to stop the violence. It seems that there are hidden or implied decrees to let the conflict continue. Hamas seems to have obtained everything it wanted from the international community. It is clear that the terroristic attack on the State of Israel is done on behalf of the United Nations and the Palestinians, who are the only beneficiaries of this situation. Their goal is to impose a one world government and undermine the sovereignty of Israel.

Voices around the world and the United Nations are already accusing Israel of targeting civilians. The world powers have promised that the State of Israel will not be part of governing the territory of the Gaza Strip after defeating Hamas.

Just as Haman in the past and Hamas in the present act under the tacit or implied approval of the authorities, so does the global culture of the beast. They are influenced by the entity that gives them their thoughts, feelings, actions, and words. There are no explicit bans on living for Jesus Christ, but His Gospel has declined sharply since 1945, when the United Nations was formed as spoken about in Daniel 8. It ushered in the global rule of the beast. Nowadays, the Gospel of Christ is missing from the churches, the legislators no longer incorporate the values of the Bible in their laws, the schools no longer permit the teachings of the Bible in the classrooms, and Christianity is unwelcome in any sphere of society.

“And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions.” Esther 3:13

While we see the State of Israel constantly under siege in the effort to erode their sovereignty, Christians are also known spiritually as being Jewish, “For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.” Romans 2:28-29 Christianity is under attack, facing persecution and devastation in cities across the globe. “It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.” Revelation 13:7 The “him” in this verse refers to the beast associated with the image and mark of the beast.

“A copy of the document was to be issued as law in every province, being published for all people, that they should be ready for that day. The couriers went out, hastened by the king’s command; and the decree was proclaimed in Shushan the palace. So the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was in confusion.” Esther 3:14-15

There is no doubt that with every event that puts hardship on the sovereignty of the State of Israel the United Nations rejoices (global government of the beast). They rejoice that without conformity to the progress of establishing the one world government there is no peace for Israel. In a sense, the same way that Haman and the king sat down to drink, the United Nations and Hamas are sitting down to drink.

Shushan is in modern day Iran and the citadel in Shushan is the government center. Haman’s order to attack the Jewish people was sent to the governing authorities in Iran. In Esther 8:11 an order was sent putting the government in Iran on notice that the Jewish people would be allowed to legally defend themselves. In Esther 9:6-12 the Jewish people killed many of their enemies who were working in Iran’s governing center as well as many of the citizens of Iran. The map below shows where Iran is in relationship to king Ahasuerus territory, which reached from India to Ethiopia.

The king, who was narcissistic and grandiose, rejoiced with Haman over a drink. He believed he would eliminate those who worshiped the Lord God and did not acknowledge him as their master. Today, everyone in the world is expected to conform to the global culture that gives them their thoughts, feelings, actions, and words. It allows the image of the beast to animate to live and speak through people everywhere as the human conscience is replaced. As a consequence, psychopathic traits spread globally and people suffer from the chaos of fractured relationships, conflicts, anti-social behaviors, and lawlessness.

Confusion comes as people feel empowered to exalt their own will over others and above the authority of God the Creator. Confusion comes because people feel no remorse or guilt within interactions and feel no need for forgiveness which comes through Jesus Christ. Confusion comes because the meek and gentle qualities in each other are attacked as the Holy Spirit is seen as someone vulnerable to exploit, manipulate, kill, and oppress.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
