Days of Feasting and Joy :: December 14, 2025

There once was a wicked man named Haman, and he hated the Jews. He was their enemy.  This Haman was a leader in the kingdom of Persia in the fifth century before Christ, and he was very very proud. Narcissistic even. To him, everything was about him.  And there was a particular Jew named Mordecai who refused to honor Haman the way he felt that he was due.

And Haman could not let it go. He decided that Mordecai must die! And not just Mordecai, but his whole family. And not just his whole family, but his whole ethnic people group–the Jews, Old Testament people of God. And not the just the Jews in the citadel of Susa where Haman and Mordecai lived, but all of the Jews throughout the kingdom, throughout the whole wide world.

And if anybody could do it, it was this Haman.
