Esther 6
Esther 6:1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the
book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and
Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought
to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3 And the king said, What honour
and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's
servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
4
And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward
court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the
gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 And the king's servants said
unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him
come in.
6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall
be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought
in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to
myself?
7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king
delighteth to honour,
8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the
king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown
royal which is set upon his head:
9 And let this apparel and horse be
delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may
array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on
horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus
shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
10
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse,
as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the
king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
11 Then
took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him
on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus
shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
12
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house
mourning, and having his head covered.
13 And Haman told Zeresh his
wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his
wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the
Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against
him, but shalt surely fall before him.
14 And while they were yet
talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman
unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
