So Mordecai gets everything Haman wanted.
The king gives Esther the house of Haman.
Esther introduces her uncle to the king.
The king honors Mordecai with the signet ring he had given Haman.
Esther puts Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Sound like a happy ending, no?
Esther BEGS the king to rescind the letters that Haman had sent throughout the kingdom.
Everything looks good for Esther and Mordecai, but there’s still the issue of the orders to destroy the Jews.
Hey queen, you have that bad guys house and he’s been hung.
Write a decree about this Jewish problem.
Anything sealed with the kings’ signet cannot be revoked.
So Esther and Mordecai cannot simply write a decree saying “Never mind!
The forget that old decree.”
They have to come up with something that will protect the Jews, but cannot revoke the previous decree.
Scribes, take a letter.
It’s still only the third month, the massacre isn’t scheduled until the twelfth month.
Plenty of time for this new decree to go everywhere it has to.
Just like the decree Haman had written, this goes to all the satraps, governors and princes in their own languages.
What does Mordecai put in this decree?
The command is for the Jews to defend themselves.
They were to destroy, kill and annihilate everyone who assaulted them.
Just as Haman’s letter gave permission for people to destroy, kill and annihilate the Jews.
The Jews were to plunder the possessions of their attackers.
This was all to happen on the day Haman had set to destroy the Jews.
