The Proclamation and Preparation

Haman is gone, but the legacy of Haman still remains.  The date for the annihilation of the Jews is in 11 months.  The law that Haman sealed against the Jews is still in tact.  But God is not finished dealing with Haman’s wicked plans.  Romans 12:19 says, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto the wrath: for it is written, Vengence is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”  And did God ever repay the enemies of the Jews!  Today as we study Esther 8, we’ll learn that just as God made the Jews to triumph over their enemies, so God delights in causing us to triumph in Christ!
