Esther 3:4 “Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand for he had told them that he was a Jew.”
…From yesterday…
Ahasuerus on its own part means “I will be silent and poor”. Can you imagine those two combinations, Haman and Ahasuerus?
Ahasuerus says, “I will keep you silent and poor” or “I will make you irrelevant and insignificant in life and destiny; but if you must be able to speak and become wealthy then go bow to Haman!”
That is serious! Many people, unbelievers and believers alike, have been harassed by these two worldly systems trying to force them to bow.
Friend, God is using this piece to once again expose the tricks of the enemy; don’t ever bow.
To bow means to prostrate, submit, subdue, bring down (low), cast down, make feeble, sink, or smite (stoop) down.
Friend, whatever is trying to make you feeble, weak, subdued and cast down is a combination of Ahasuerus and Haman; don’t yield to them!
Back to Mordecai, this gateman refused to bow, and the only reason he gave was that he was a Jew!
Esther 3:4 “Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand for he had told them that he was a Jew.”
On the surface, his reason doesn’t seem to make any sense, but we need to look deeper to understand the revelation he had! Once you lay hold on the truth behind his reason for not bowing, you will refuse to bow as well!
Now, the question is who is a Jew?
A Jew from the Hebrew interpretation is simply a descendant of Judah or one who belongs to Judah. That brings up another question. Who is Judah and what does he represent?
To be continued…
