8 That same day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the estate of Haman, (WEALTH TRANSFER!) the enemy of the Jews. And MORDECAI CAME INTO THE PRESENCE OF THE KING, for Esther had told how he was related to her. Esther 8
Haman the man who had plotted to destroy Mordecai and the whole Jewish people had been executed, but there was more to come. The king ordered the transfer of his entire estate to his bride that very same day. The word of an earthly king brought about immediate change in a moment of time, how much more the King of Kings. Mordecai, who had never been allowed to come before King Xerxes was now welcomed into his court, with powerful results for the people of God.
5 ‘If it pleases the king,’ she said, ‘and if he regards me with favour and thinks it the right thing to do, and if he is pleased with me, let an order be written overruling the dispatches that Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, devised and wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king’s provinces. 6 For how can I bear to see disaster fall on my people? How can I bear to see the destruction of my family?’ Esther 8
Esther, the Queen, had Favour with the King and her plea on behalf of her people was about to change their whole situation. The cries of God’s people on earth today will not go unanswered, major change is coming and once it begins it will happen very quickly.
7 King Xerxes replied to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, ‘Because Haman attacked the Jews, I have given his estate to Esther, and they have impaled him on the pole he set up. 8 Now write another decree in the king’s name on behalf of the Jews AS SEEMS BEST TO YOU, and seal it with the king’s signet ring – for no document written in the king’s name and sealed with his ring can be revoked.’
The King gave permission, but it was actually God’s people who wrote the decree that sealed the fate of their enemies. The authority of the King confirmed the wishes of his people towards their enemies. God’s people today will execute judgement on the enemy. The Church and Israel have a common destiny, to destroy the works of the devil and enforce the rule of God’s Kingdom in every part of His Creation. The devil stole it and God wants it returned.
13 A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued as law in every province and made known to the people of every nationality so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
14 The couriers, RIDING ROYAL HORSES, went out, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa.
THERE WAS A TIME LAG between the King’s decree being issued and the people scattered throughout the empire receiving the message of their deliverance. They would have feared the worst until the King’s edict arrived, granting them protection from their enemies. I know of at least two prophets who have declared that the gavel has already fallen in the Court of Heaven. The Court has ruled on behalf of God’s people and the King’s ruling will certainly be proclaimed for His children.
God bless and keep you today. Immanuel, God is with us.
