Esther 3:1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him. 2 And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
Esther chapter three is one of those chapters that we have been asking you to study very closely, for It contains valuable information for persons living in the last days of earth’s history. From the beginning of time the main problem with humanity has always been worship. In every era that has come and gone, various types of false worship have dominated, and infiltrated the human experience, with the commensurate results which follow like clockwork.
In the Antediluvian era it was false worship that lay at the foundation of the rejection of God. In Egypt, it was false worship that led the nation to worship four-footed creatures, and creeping things, and as we have stated previously, even pharaoh was referred to, and addressed as “the good god”. Later on, it was false worship that led the chosen people of God to reject Christ.
During the dark ages, it was false worship that led the papacy to do the unthinkable, and a very great darkness enveloped its subscribers, and very much of the results still remain today. And in our day, the issue that has led to false theories in our education system, and the veneration of man is false worship.
Esther 3:3 Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, why do you transgress the king's commandment?
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
