The Enemy Builds His Gallows

In Esther 5, we witness Queen Esther's bold yet patient approach to the king, risking everything to save her people while Haman’s pride spirals into murderous rage.

As Esther wisely delays her request for one more feast, God orchestrates a providential pause that sets the stage for divine reversal. Haman, unstable and self-obsessed, boasts of his power only to be undone by Mordecai’s quiet faithfulness, leading him to build a towering 75-foot gallows meant for Mordecai’s destruction. Little does Haman know—the very instrument of his hatred will become the means of his own downfall, a powerful picture of how evil schemes boomerang under God’s sovereign hand.

This message uncovers the danger of feeding pride and hatred, the beauty of trusting God’s timing, and the ultimate irony that points us to the cross where Satan’s greatest plot became his defeat. Join us to see how the unseen King works all things for His glory and our good.
