Esther 7:10
Daniel 2:20-22
"… he removeth kings,
and setteth up kings..."
CHECKMATE!
As commanded by the king, they hanged Haman on the very gallows Haman built for Mordecai. With that, the fury of the king abated.
The life of the proud, plotting and scheming Haman was over. Just like that. It would be quite a shock to the world then to hear that the king had executed his prime minister. And the king hanged him on a twentythree-metre-high gallows. What could have happened? Like clockwork, each event rapidly followed one after the other to this culmination in two days and one night. From the first banquet by Esther, Haman building the gallows at night, the king’s insomnia and discovery that nothing was done for Mordecai for rescuing the king, Haman being publicly humiliated then whisked off to the second banquet, Esther’s exposing Haman’s wickedness, to Haman further exasperating the king by his actions upon the queen. Moreover, Harbonah’s presence, just when the king was exasperated and wondering what to do with Haman, was no random occurrence of coincidence as well. He knew about the gallows Haman built, he knew the records of Mordecai’s good deed to the king, and he simply mentioned the two things to let the king get the hint on what the king could do with Haman. With that, the rich and powerful Haman’s life ended unceremoniously and suddenly.
Was it Mordecai’s persuasiveness, or Esther’s courage, or her wise handling of the king in presenting the case, or the king’s insomnia and national records that saved the day? God was not mentioned anywhere in all these events. Although God was silent, He certainly was not sleeping. He was actively moving behind the scenes as the Master chess mover working in timing events, placing right people in the right boxes, and controlling and moving hearts. Mordecai and Esther were instruments simply doing their part assigned by God. And King Ahasuerus was too, whether he knew it or not. God’s silence speaks louder than words when the events unfold eventually.
THOUGHT: God is always steps ahead of His enemies.
PRAYER: Lord, I praise Thee for Thou art the All-Wise God.
