“So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther. And on the second day, at the banquet of wine, the king again said to Esther, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!” Esther 7:1-2

At the first banquet with Queen Esther and the narcissistic and grandiose king, Haman thought he was on the inside track to power and glory. Since then, Mordecai was given the royal honors that Haman felt entitled to. He was totally crushed and humiliated and realized his ambition for power and glory was being supplanted by the king. At this second banquet, he must be less confident of his importance to the queen and king. The king asks Esther what she called the meeting for, and she is about to “spill the beans”, the whole bag.

“Then Queen Esther answered and said, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request. For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king’s loss.” Esther 7:3-4

Esther understands that the king, who has a narcissistic and grandiose spirit, does not care about the Jewish people because they are loyal to the Lord God, not him. She says she would have kept silent if they were only going to be enslaved, but her plea is a matter of life and death. Queen Esther reveals to her husband and king, in front of Haman, that she is Jewish. She informs the king that a decree has been issued to destroy, kill and wipe out all who are Jewish, including herself. Haman was terrified at this point, since he was the one who would have to bear the responsibility of planning to wipe out the Jewish people, who were Esther’s people. Esther petitions the king that he save her life and the life of all the Jewish people.

Satan’s plan to annihilate the Jewish people both spiritually and physically is exposed by the Holy Spirit throughout the Bible. The most recent plan, that is recorded in the contemporary history books, was the Holocaust under Hitler’s Germany. Today, we are seeing the destruction of the State of Israel hidden behind the fig leaf of world peace and security. That is part of the sufferings of the soul of Christ as He implores the Jewish people to come back to God by believing in Him. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Matthew 23:37-39

Today, the followers of Jesus Christ are the Jewish people spiritually, “…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 2:29 There is a plot to destroy, kill, and annihilate the name of Jesus Christ and all of Christianity, as quoted, “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. All who dwell on the earth will worship him…” Revelation 13:7 The “him” in that verse is the beast associated with the image and mark of the beast.

Satan works through the United Nations by the entity giving people what to think, do, feel, and say. This entity enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world. They detest the name of Jesus Christ, His followers, and Israel. Under the watchful eyes and ears of the global government, Christianity and the Biblical heritage of Israel are being eradicated from off the face of this earth. The global culture feels empowered to exalt their will to annihilate the authority of God our Creator. They feel no guilt or remorse in destroying Israel or the need for Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. They see the Holy Spirit as someone to oppress, exploit, and kill. Jesus Christ felt our pain in the sufferings of His soul as He was mocked, crucified, and killed to free the suffering of our soul by atoning for sin on the Cross and giving eternal life.
