It is the day of queen Esther’s second banquet where she reveals to her husband the king, that it is Haman who has planned to kill and plunder all the Jewish people. Her revelation will lead to Haman’s execution.
Sovereign Unraveling
The wicked plans of Haman begin to unravel by Gods sovereign work, an unmistakable work. Not only does Haman’s plan to kill Mordecai fail, but Haman is ordered to parade Mordecai as a man honored by the king.
Sovereignty Over Uncertainty
Haman just knew what was going to happen, the King knew nothing of what was happening, and the Jews were afraid of what might happen, though it never happened. Such is God’s Sovereignty over uncertainty.
Do or Die
Mordecai arrives at the palace gates in sackcloth and ashes. Careful to conceal Esther’s ethnicity, he sends her messages about Haman’s plan and that she must see the king. She hesitates then risks her life to do it.
Old Hatreds
The king elevates Haman, a hater of Jews, to the second highest rank in the kingdom. Mordecai, a Jew and inveterate enemy of Haman’s people, openly defies him, igniting a rage in Haman to slaughter all the Jews.
