In the royal courts of Persia, the proud prime minister Haman plotted to kill Mordecai and his people, building a massive gallows fifty cubits high in his own yard. He thought his high office and power gave him complete command, completely blind to the fact that human hatred cannot move outside the limits of God. The Almighty did not need an army to change the story. In a single night, the king broke the plot, sending the wicked leader straight to the wooden tower he had built for his rival, because the plans of the Lord of hosts always rule the palace.
“Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon. So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.” Esther 7:9-10
