1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2 And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Est.7 (Old Testament)
7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
ESTHER 7: God’s Justice System
Memory verse: Esther 7:10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
The memory verse for today is a powerful reminder of God's justice and how it always prevails in the end. Haman, known for his wicked Vices, plotted to destroy the Jewish people and had even built a gallows on which to hang Mordecai. But instead, Haman himself was hung on that very same gallows.
God's justice is not always immediate, and we may sometimes wonder if evil will ever be punished. But this verse reminds us that God's timing is perfect and that justice will eventually be served. We can take comfort in knowing that those who seek to harm others will not escape the consequences of their actions.
In the long run, Haman's evil intentions were turned against him, and his wickedness ultimately led to his own downfall. It is also a poignant example of the biblical principle that those who sow the seeds of destruction will reap what they have sown. (Galatians 6:7, Proverbs 26:27)
