• The accused Haman is terrified in front of the king and queen.
• Haman pleads with Queen Esther for his life after the king steps into the palace garden.
• The king returns and catches Haman in a compromising position with his wife Queen Esther. 
• The king orders the hanging of Haman.

The accused Haman is terrified in front of the king and queen. “And Esther said, “The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!” So Haman was terrified before the king and queen.” Esther 7:6

When Esther revealed Haman as the adversary and enemy, he trembled with fear in the sight of her and the king. Likewise, the Holy Spirit makes it very clear who the enemy is, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 

The Holy Spirit through Peter says, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.” 1 Peter 5:9

Haman pleads with Queen Esther for his life after the king steps into the palace garden. “Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.” Esther 7:7

After a surge of anger, the king stepped outside into the palace garden. He had to choose how to deal with Haman. Inside, Haman was still with Queen Esther, and he begged her to spare his life. He knew the king had already determined to throw him “under the bus”. Haman’s plea for forgiveness and salvation was selfish as he did not care about the fate of the Jewish people, and he had already established an irreversible law to destroy them. He only wanted to save himself. He felt no remorse, guilt, or regret for plotting to annihilate the Jewish people. We can hear the words of John the Baptist reverberating against Haman, “Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance…” Luke 3:7-8 Fruits worthy of repentance blossom in the spirit and soul with belief in God through Jesus Christ and embracing the Holy Spirit.

After God resurrected Him from the dead, Jesus Christ stepped outside from this planet and ascended into Heaven’s Garden. He left behind the Jewish people who had conspired to kill Him. They must come with a truly repentant heart to humble themselves in the presence of God through Jesus Christ. This is true for every person on this planet. “Who knows if He will turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him—A grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?” Joel 2:14 “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.” Matthew 12:31-32

Before making Jesus Christ his Lord and Savior, the Apostle Paul spoke many blasphemous words and did many blasphemous deeds against Jesus by plotting to imprison and murder Christians. However, when he saw the bright light on the Damascus Road, he remained responsive to the Holy Spirit, Acts 9. A sincere heart in the Holy Spirit reconciles us to God through Jesus Christ and bears fruits of repentance.

The king returns and catches Haman in a comprising position with his wife Queen Esther. “When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house? As the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.” Esther 7:8

When the king came back from the palace garden, he saw Haman practically lying on top of Queen Esther. He was furious that someone had dared to touch his property without his consent, showing his narcissistic and grandiose spirit. With rage he says, “Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?‘” As soon as the king uttered those words, his servants put a black bag over Haman’s head, preparing him to be hanged.

Jesus Christ is returning again and those who are found to be unfaithful to Him and corrupting the temple of the Holy Spirit, our body, He will slay to eternal hell. Those loyal to Him through the Holy Spirit will inherit eternal life.

Click here for the parable of Jesus Christ ascending to Heaven then coming back with judgment. Jesus Christ has gone from this earth when He ascended into Heaven’s Garden after His death and resurrection. He atoned for sin and whoever believes in Him will have eternal life and live with Him in the New Jerusalem. Jesus is returning and all those who are faithful to Him will inherit life in the New Jerusalem, but those who reject Him will be slain and thrown into eternal hell.

The king orders the hanging of Haman. “Now Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.” Then the king said, “Hang him on it!” So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.’ Esther 7:9-10

Haman’s plan to execute Mordecai on 75′ high gallows backfired when he himself was hanged on it. He had erected the gallows in his own front yard to sadistically enjoy the spectacle with his family and friends. Instead, they witnessed his own demise in the same spot.

Today, there are gallows built in this world by the global culture to hang the name of Jesus Christ, His followers, and all of Christianity. However, the Day of the Lord is coming when the gallows built under the watch of United Nations (global government of the beast) will be used to hang this world’s government and culture. This will happen in their own front yard (this planet) for all the world to see. The “her” in this verse refers to the global government, “Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’” Revelation 18:6-7

The global government of the beast derives its power and authority from the one “…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”. The human body is the temple of God, and he sits there through the entity giving people their thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds. As followers of Jesus Christ, we can say yes to this question, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 There is a battle for the soul of people around the world and that is why the global culture has built gallows for those making Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior.

The suffering of the soul of Jesus Christ came from the hurt He felt in knowing the suffering happening within the soul of humankind. This suffering drove our Lord Jesus Christ to endure physical suffering on the Cross to atone for our sin and restore our relationship with God. Now we can receive the Holy Spirit and be the temple of God.
