Location and TimesEsther 5:14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
Haman is so full hatred. He only wants the death of Mordecai. It clouds his judgment. It causes him to see everything through that prism. He wants Mordecai dead. He talks with his family and friends. He plots and plans.
He is so excited about getting wealthy at the expense of others that he can’t see what is happening. He plots the death of another that will turn out to be his own.
We often get so focused on ourselves and our success that we can’t see what is right in front of us. This is a call to leave jealousy that causes you to destroy yourself. Seek the benefit of others and watch how things end up differently!
