God's Everlasting Love

Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the Jewish people, you will not overcome him but will surely fall before him” (Esther 6:13)

The Hebrew is emphatic: “falling you will fall before him! (nafol tipol lifanav).” Haman’s ruin was sure; he could not stand against Mordecai the Jew. And yet, those who now saw the handwriting on the wall were the same people who had earlier advised Haman to hang Mordecai (Esther 5:14).

Persia’s Testimony
How did Haman’s advisers know of his certain failure? They had been taught historically, Scripturally, and prophetically.

In the history of the last 50 years, Haman’s advisers had seen how God miraculously worked through Cyrus their King. Though Babylon and Persia had exiled the Jewish people for 70 years from their homeland, King Cyrus’s decree released them to return, even as was prophesied.
While the Jews were in Babylon (which was conquered by Persia), they had the Book of Daniel in their possession. These Scriptures revealed to their captors the unique power of Israel’s God:

... King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and paid homage to Daniel ... “Surely your God is God of gods and Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery” (Daniel 2:46-47).

An early wise man from that region, Balaam, had tried his hand at this cursing Israel business, and had found it to be a really bad idea.

“How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how can I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced? Blessed is everyone who blesses you (Israel), and cursed is everyone who curses you. I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; a star shall come forth from Jacob, a scepter shall rise from Israel, One from Jacob shall have dominion” (Numbers 23:8; 24:9,17,19).

Yes, the Jews in Babylon were under the chastening hand of their God, but they would not end in destruction. Therefore, because of historical, biblical and prophetic truth, Haman’s advisers knew that Haman was doomed to fail! God was at work to redeem Israel.

As Balaam said, “Blessed is everyone who blesses you, and cursed is everyone who curses you.” This was first declared by God Himself to Abraham in Genesis 12:3, “And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” There is ultimate victory for all people, for all who will believe in Yeshua the Messiah, the ultimate seed of Abraham.
In light of these truths let us live to be an instrument of blessing to the Jews, and to all people. For, those who bless even as God blesses will ultimately succeed even as God’s will succeeds. Right now by blessing and trusting in Yeshua, the King of the Jews, you receive the eternal blessing of salvation and forgiveness; for, as Ephesians 1:3 says, in Yeshua are found all the blessings of Heaven forever!
