Text: “So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.” – Esther 7:10.
Comment: The man Haman planned to kill Mordecai because Mordecai refused to bow the knees to him. (Esther 3:1-6) Mordecai’s reason for his refusal was that he was a Jew. This means that worshippers of God are not expected to bow the knees to mortal men, but to God and His Son Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 45:23; Philippians 2:9-11) Haman’s anger and hatred for Mordecai (a gate keeper) was so much that he took the evil advice of his wife and his friends to build “a gallows” of 50 cubits high so as to hang Mordecai. (Esther 5:14) In the end, when the King heard of Haman’s evil intention against Mordecai (a man who saved the King from a coup plot), the King ordered that Haman be hanged on the gallows that he had made. (Esther 7:6-10; Ecclesiastes 10:8; Psalm 9:15; etc.) Thus, to plot evil against an innocent person will surely boomerang. – Psalm 7:14-16
