Esther 3: 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. 5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
Here again is another instance of that same craving for worship and adoration, as manifested in a mortal man. The desire is being driven, not only by his own indulgence. It is the same luciferian spirit on display, that’s being fostered and encouraged by the prince of darkness, who remains hidden from view just like the termites we spoke of earlier. And inevitably, the dragon’s ire will be turned against all who refuse to worship the human agent representing his kingdom.
Now, there is something of critical importance for us to observe as we go into the study, for in every case and instance recorded in the Bible, where the prince of darkness showed up, the people or the individual never saw him in reality. The reason why this must be considered is because persons in our day would not see a direct, real devil yet. That time will eventually come just before Jesus comes.
But up until that time the prince of darkness will be greatly increasing his presence and activities through human beings. This is what is currently taking place, but because it is not recognized nor understood for what it is, folks are pointing fingers, and blaming the human agents. Observe carefully what is being revealed in the next examples, for the prince of darkness arrives, yet the people in question have not a clue.
1st Chronicles 21:1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel. 2 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
