Haman, the enemy of the Jewish people, builds gallows to hang Mordecai. 

Esther 5:13-14

 “Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.” Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet.” And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.” Esther 5:13-14

Haman is elated and energized to think that he has become part of the inner circle of power with Queen Esther and King Ahasuerus. He does not want Mordecai to be anywhere near the king and queen. With all the power and influence Haman thinks he has; he rejoices in the thought of being able to destroy Mordecai and all the Jewish people. People who have a huge ego and a strong desire for admiration from others use their power to eliminate those who do not submit to their will. Haman’s wife and friends fed into Haman’s demand for absolute loyalty and suggested that he should build gallows to hang Mordecai. Haman constructed gallows 75 feet high.

Haman lacked empathy, compassion, and remorse, so he went on his merry way to the second banquet as if all was normal after believing Mordecai to be as good as dead. While Haman seeks relief by getting rid of his enemy, Jesus Christ offers peace and rest in the spirit and soul through humility. A humble soul in the Holy Spirit has no worries for worldly power, prestige, control, and admiration. We submit to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. “It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.” Proverbs 16:9

The global culture of today lacks human conscience and exhibits traits of psychopathy. It follows the will of the entity that gives them their thoughts, emotions, actions and words. They derive joy and power from imposing their will on those who live by the teachings of the Bible, as a way of defying God’s authority. They feel no shame, guilt, remorse, or regret as they find enjoyment in hurting those who acknowledge the need for Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. They rejoice in oppressing, exploiting, and attempting to destroy the Holy Spirit.

“And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him…” Revelation 13:7-8 This verse refers to the global culture of the beast who lives by the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say. They rejoice at the destruction of Jesus Christ and His followers, “Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies (bodies of the faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ) three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.” Revelation 11:9-10 Click here for a post on rejoicing over the death of the faithful witnesses of Jesus Christ.

People who govern and live for the global culture are tormented by the Gospel of Christ and rejoice when a Christian is eliminated. They detest being criticized and referred to as sinners who need Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin. That is the reason Herod threw John the Baptist in prison Luke 3:19-20, the reason the Pharisees had Jesus Christ crucified Matthew 12:14, and the reason Christianity is conspired against today Revelation 13:5-8.

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
