Day 222 - Read Esther 4-7
Dec 1, 2024
Mordecai relayed the message of the king’s decree to Esther. She sent word to Mordecai to gather the Jews and fast for three days on her behalf, then she would approach the king. The king allowed the queen to speak with him and she asked that he and Haman participate in a feast. Haman was angry because he saw Mordecai at the king’s gate, so he had gallows made to hang Mordecai. The king was reminded of Mordecai’s actions to save him and ordered Haman to honor Mordecai. Haman followed the king’s orders but mourned his decision. The queen told the king of Haman’s plan to kill Mordecai and asked for mercy. The king was angry with Haman and had him hanged on the gallows made for Mordecai.
