Esther 3 New King James Version (NKJV)
Haman’s Conspiracy Against the Jews
3 After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him. 2 And all the king’s servants who were within the king’s gate bowed and paid homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage. 3 Then the king’s servants who were within the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you transgress the king’s command?” 4 Now it happened, when they spoke to him daily and he would not listen to them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s words would stand; for Mordecai had told them that he was a Jew. 5 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow or pay him homage, Haman was filled with wrath. 6 But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus—the people of Mordecai…
Esther – Meditation in The Wisdom and knowledge of God


Anti-Semitism – hostility, and prejudice against the Jews! This hostility is not breaking news to King Ahasuerus, he is well aware that Jews were disbursed throughout the provinces under the control of the king. The Jews were not a threat to the kingdom as Haman suggested to the king, this is simply a ploy of Haman to appease his personal anger over Mordecai who worships God and not man. I find a similar movement of spiritual illness going on in our nation currently. Our national heritage is being dethroned by hordes of people who worship man today and not God.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Our allegiance to our Nation and to our Republic and to our God is all but eroded away. The supreme power of the nation’s people and their elected representatives are no longer a serious mandate of the majority. The agenda of the majority is ignorance, and our elected officials have an agenda that openly refuses allegiance to the United States of America and its citizens. This refusal is so damning that even our next generation is doomed by the various humanistic methods of liberal indoctrination.

Haman’s position in the kingdom of Ahasuerus is like our elected office of ‘Speaker of the House of Representatives’. I have no respect for Haman as he used his authority for personal gain; not political. I do have respect for his office as he was to be the lead representative in the nation. As such, I have the same respect for the position of ‘Speaker of the House of Representatives’ and I would not ever consider showing respect to any person in our nation's political structure who uses their elected power to destroy the freedom’s and liberties of all people of our nation.

Five years have passed since Esther became queen and the grip of anti-Semitism is growing rapidly as Haman is making it legal to plunder and kill the Jews who live in the lands controlled by the king. “O you better watch out! You better not cry, you better not pout, anti-godliness is coming to your town”. Truth is, it is already—in town.

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
