 “That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.” Esther 6:1

The king had someone read to him the chronicles that documented his reign and those of his predecessors. He cared deeply about how future kings, and everyone else, would judge him from these historical accounts. His narcissism and grandiosity made him obsessed with his image in the annals of history.

The books of Chronicles 1 and 2 in the Bible are like a diary that records the events of the Twelve Tribes of Israel and their kings. These books also contain the “scarlet cord” that signifies Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. On the other hand, contemporary chronicles are similar to the history lessons that are learned in school to document the major leaders throughout history. King Ahasuerus was reading the chronicles of his own empire, not the Biblical ones. The “scarlet cord” would not be found in those chronicles, unless some faithful Israelites who served God were mentioned. One such Israelite was Mordecai, who did something for King Ahasuerus and was recorded in the contemporary chronicles.

“And it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs, the doorkeepers who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. Then the king said, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” And the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”” Esther 6:2-3

The historical records showed that Mordecai had saved the king from two assassins, but the records did not show any honorable response from the king towards Mordecai for this deed. The king was so narcissistic that he could not stand the idea of being overshadowed by Mordecai’s heroism in the records. He wanted to boost his own image above Mordecai’s act of loyalty by showing Mordecai a great honor.

We are living under the rules of the global government of the beast that is progressing towards a one world government through the United Nations. Their character and goals are shaping the course of history, and all other historical events must conform accordingly. The world government insists on being reflected with a positive image in the chronicles of history. Nowadays, educational curriculum is revised to minimize the significance of historical events that have shaped national culture, holidays, and constitutions. This is particularly evident in the replacement of religious icons, such as renaming Columbus Day as Indigenous People’s Day. Columbus Day commemorates the arrival of Christianity in America, while Indigenous People’s Day has no connection to God or Jesus Christ. This list goes on and on.

We are living in times such as humankind has never experienced before in history, as described in Joel 1 :1-12. The global culture, influenced by the entity that gives them their thoughts, words, actions and feelings, is altering historical events in every city around the world. This entity enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people to coordinate the historic changes happening to cultures and constitutions around the world. People of the global culture conform to the account of history given to them by the goals of the world government as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by hat they say and do. Historical events are being revised to eradicate the presence of God as Creator, to eliminate the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and to oppress the Holy Spirit. The global government of the beast is sitting itself up as God within the chronicles of history.

As followers of Jesus Christ, there is probably a ton of negative stuff written collectively about us and stored in files and records of all types. However, the most important record where our name is found in is within the Lamb’s Book of Life. “Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on His name.” Malachi 3:16

“….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.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
