WHO DO YOU RUN TO IN TIME OF TRIBULATION: WHO DO YOU KNOW AND TRUST?.. MORDECAI AND HAMAN PART (1)

Esther 4:16-17
Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

"Then said his wife and all his friends to him, let's make a gallows of fifty cubit high, and convince the king, that Mordecai should be hanged and thrown into it."

Esther 5:9-14
Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.
Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.
Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

YOU CAN'T DESTROY THE BLESSED OF GOD.......THEM THAT SEEK GOD SHALL BE DELIVERED.

Go, and have peace of mind, while you merry with the king at the banquet, so the husband was very happy with his wife's advice, he ordered for the gallows to be made;.

The evil we do, lives with us, so its called for a reflection upon some certain thoughts we shouldn't allow to possess us, and some advice we give and listen to.

When you are pointing one finger at another person, don't be blind to see the remaining four fingers pointing back to you.

In case your heart is so heavy and evil towards others' freedom, position, or way of life, to the extent of depriving you sleep, just remember you might end up been the victim of your own evil plans.

Haman said, despite his position and wealth......it avail nothing to him as long as Mordecai keep sitting at the kings gate......what a wicked world! (Esther 5:11-14).

Hatred towards Mordecai and his Jews people, has pushed Haman to carry out an unprecedented extinction of a nation, ethnic cleansing.
It's very hard to believe the extent that people can go in order to cause pains their assumed enemy, paying heavily for an extinction of a whole tribe, that's wickedness that is even present in our contemporary time, you ignore it to your destruction.
This world lays in the hand of the wicked one..(devil).

YOU DON'T WAIT TO BE DESTROYED, DO SOMETHING, EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE IN TEARS;.

The Bible records that; there was a great mourning among the Jews, everywhere the letter was delivered, and there was fasting, weeping, wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes(Esther 4:3).

Although, everyone of the Jews was confused, but there is one greater than the king, they consulted before confronting the king, and His is called the king of kings, He has the kings heart in His hand, He twists it anyhow He pleases, haman knew the king but the Jews knew the king of kings..... Let me ask us this silly question.... Who do you know?.

"The king or the the KING OF KINGS"

Haman consulted his wife and friends but Mordecai consulted God Almighty.

Who you consult in time of help matters a lot in solving the problem.

Haman was busy working on the kings heart to get his signatory in order to unleash the mayhem on the Jews, while Mordecai on the other side working and praying to to his God to save the Jews from extinction, my people, truly there is a living God in heaven.

Don't be troubled, God will always send a saviour ahead of every challenge, the word of God says; in every nation God has a person, and I say; in every situation, God has sent a person for you, just seek for His face, as Esther and Mordecai has done...(Esther 4:16).

EVERY MAN HAS A WOMAN HE'S LISTENING TO HER VOICE

The amazing thing here is the role played by women involved in this war..(Esther and Zeresh).

ESTHER;
She was a godly woman, who listened and obeyed the words of her uncle even as a queen, she never placed her interest and comfort above her people's welfare, she was determined to perish, if that's what it take to save her people....(Esther 4:17), it says; Mordecai carried out Esther's requirements and it saves her nation.
A godly woman, her word saves.

ZERESH;
She is wife to haman, in Esther 5:10...Haman called her and explained his state of mind towards an innocent man called Mordecai, instead of giving her husband a good advice, and turning he from evil decision, she encouraged him, with even harsh and cruel suggestion of making a gallows, Mordecai will be hanged. And was pleased with her words, No wonder the Bible recorded that; Haman and all his family were hanged in the gallows they made, because it was a collective efforts.

Know who, you litsen to his/her advice, and consider the advice you give to somebody, because it might turn back on you.

HE THAT DIG A PIT WILL FALL INTO IT
