Deliverance in times of troubles part two

The she instructed him to say to Mordecai,"All of the kings officials and people of the royal providences know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner courts without being summoned by the king has but one law: that he be put to death. The only exception to this is for the king to extend the golden scepter to him and spare his life. But thirty days have been passed since I was called to go to the king." Esther 4:10-11 When Esther's words were reported back to Mordecai, he sent back this answer: "Do not think because that you are in the king's house you alone of all of the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows that you have come into a royal position for such a time as this?" Esther 4: 12 Then Esther sent this reply back to Mordecai: "Go and gather all of the Jews that are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat nor drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish. So Mordecai went away and followed Esther's instructions. Esther 4:15-17. The Jews were delivered and their enemies of first Haman, was hung on the very gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. His ten son were killed and all also hung on those gallows. They were all killed by the Jews during the thirteen day of the month of Adar, the edict on the set day of Purim, a newly established Jewish holiday celebrating their deliverance from Haman and his minions. Purim means the drawing of lots all because of the lots that Haman drew to determine the day of the total annihilation of all of the Jewish people residing in the ancient Persian territory of the land of Susa and it is still being celebrated in 2024. All because a revised plan commanded by the king was carried out due to Haman's betrayal of Queen Esther Mordecai, who took Haman's place, and the Jews. Because Mordecai told Esther not to reveal that she was Jewish, Haman did not know she was Jewish. This self-same LORD GOD, who did deliver the Jews during the time of Queen Esther and Persian King Xerses, will deliver the Jewish people. And the nation of Israel from the hands of all of the axis of evil nations that are coming against it these present days of May 01 and May 02, 2024.
