Day 278...(Esther 7,8; Isaiah 39; Acts 14)..."Evil Comes Back"

Haman was going to annihilate the Jews. Esther intervened at just the right time. Haman constructed gallows for the execution of Mordicae. When his plot was exposed, and he was hung on his own gallows. What a powerful lesson of "evil action coming home to roost."

In this story, we have the origin of an important day. The feast of Purim still holds great significance for the Jews. Evil leaders such as Hitler, remind us this story of seeking to wipe out an entire group of people is still a threat in our modern world. The story of Esther wakes humankind up to never let this happen.
