ESTHER, A TRUE HEROINE used by God to deny the rights of evil…
In that season of history the very malevolent and altogether defeated enemy (one of them) of our Jewish brethren was Haman.

Beloved: coming against Israel is no small sin…

Selah.

This very vile man was accursed by God and reaped the wages of his sin:

Esther 7
So the king and Haman went to Queen Esther’s banquet, and as they were drinking wine on the second day, the king again asked, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted.”

Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases you, grant me my life—this is my petition. And spare my people—this is my request. For I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed and annihilated. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king.”

King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who is he? Where is he—the man who has dared to do such a thing?”

Esther said, “An adversary and enemy! This vile Haman!”

Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen.  The king got up in a rage, left his wine and went out into the palace garden. But Haman, realizing that the king had already decided his fate, stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life.

Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining.

The king exclaimed, “Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the house?”

As soon as the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “A pole reaching to a height of fifty cubits stands by Haman’s house. He had it set up for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.”

The king said, “Impale him on it!”  So they impaled Haman on the pole he had set up for Mordecai. Then the king’s fury subsided.

Haman, the man filled with such demonic hatred for God’s chosen Israel, was justifiably killed. To this day he answers to God for that hatred. And to show his true character even further, we see this vile man wasn’t brave, wasn’t even at all willing to stand fearlessly for his beliefs! No! He cowered, he begged for his life…

Esther 7:5-7
King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who is he? Where is he—the man who has dared to do such a thing?” Esther said, “An adversary and enemy! This vile Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen. The king got up in a rage, left his wine and went out into the palace garden. But Haman, realizing that the king had already decided his fate, stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life.

And as for Esther…
Esther, Beloved, found favor in the eyes of her husband, the king. She pleased him! Esther’s righteous love moved her king to grant her request – save her people – the Jews.
Esther was a woman of beauty; true and full beauty. Her most famous words in the book named after her…

“And if I perish, I perish.”

This godly Jewish woman fought her enemy with bravery and love for her people, truly willing to be killed for her stand.

Isn’t that what we are supposed to do?
Isn’t that what Jesus Christ did  for us?

Revelation 12:11
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
