Esther 7
Esther 7:1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2
And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of
wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and
what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the
kingdom.
3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found
favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given
me at my petition, and my people at my request:
4 For we are sold, I
and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had
been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the
enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
5 Then the king
Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is
he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
6 And Esther said, The
adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the
king and the queen.
7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine
in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request
for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined
against him by the king.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace
garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the
bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also
before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they
covered Haman's face.
9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said
before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had
made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house
of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
10 So they hanged
Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's
wrath pacified.
• 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)
