As we continue our study on the book of Esther we see in chapter 7 that deception doesn't pay. Esther had just exposed Haman's deception in leading king Ahasuerus to issue the Decree of Annihilation which angered the king. In Esther 7:9 one of the eunuchs, Harbonah, tells the king about the gallows which Haman had made for Mordecai.
Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measure back to you." We see in Esther 7:10 Haman was hung on the very gallows he built for Mordecai.
Proverbs 11:8 "The righteous is delivered from trouble, and it comes to the wicked instead.
Haman meant harm to the Jews but God would not allow this annihilation to happen. God said I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. Haman sinned against God - and he didn't heed His warning. Haman's execution is a clear picture of the surety of judgment. No matter who the person is, even if he is the prime minister of a nation, he will face the judgment of God for the deeds he has done.
Galatians 6:7 "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap."
My friend, you cannot hide from God. "For His eyes are on the ways of man, and He sees all his steps." ~ Job 34:21
