Haman’s hatred and evil plotting ended up turning against him. Once his evil ways were revealed, he found himself on the other end of his own plan.
Upon hearing what Haman did, king Ahasuerus became angry. Esther 7:8 tells us they covered Haman's face. It was a custom to cover a criminal's face because they were no longer worthy to look at the king's face. So immediately Haman's face was covered with a veil or a napkin so he could not look at the king.
Then in verse nine the king finds out about the gallows which Haman had made for Mordecai, the person that saved the life of the king, therefore, the king ordered Haman to be hung on the very gallows.
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.
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'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.
Let us be a light in a dark world, let us not feed hatred but spread kindness. Please join me as we continue our study.
