The Word of God says, "The thing that has been is that which shall be, and that which is done is that which shall be done, and there is no new thing under the sun" Ecclesiastes 1:9. 

If you have ever read the book of Esther in the Bible, you already know that a man named Haman was given a very high position in the Babylonian kingdom; in fact, King Ahasuerus ordered the princes and servants to bow down and give "reverence" to Haman when he passed by.

There was one servant in the kingdom who refused to bow down and give reverence to any man, not even Haman.  A Jew named Mordecai, and who also happened to be the uncle of Queen Esther, unbeknownst to the king or Haman. 

Haman was so full of rage that Mordecai wouldn't bow down to him that he went straight to the king and asked permission to not only kill Mordecai, but to have all Jews destroyed, young and old, women and children alike.  The king granted Haman's petition and sealed the order with his ring, giving his ring to Haman. 

Haman was still depressed because Mordecai humiliated him and he wanted to exact vengeance on him.  It wasn't enough that he obtained a death sentence from the king, not only for Mordecai, but for all of the Jews in the province.  Haman's wife and friends suggested he build gallows to hang Mordecai on, so he would feel better. 

Mordecai had previously exposed some conspirators among the king's chamberlains, who were planning to kill the king.  He had told Esther the queen, his niece, whom he had raised as his own daughter, and Esther told the king.  The conspirators were hanged, but the king had forgotten to recognize Mordecai, or give him a reward. 

While Haman was planning to hang Mordecai, the king called for Haman.  The king asked Haman what the king might do for someone who should be honored publicly.  Haman, thinking the king was referring to himself, suggested that the man be clothed in the king's own royal apparel, be set upon the king's own horse and paraded through the streets of the city.  The king delighted in Haman's idea and told him to quickly take the apparel and go do this very honor to Mordecai the Jew! 

Haman did according to the king's commandment, then went home crying with his head covered.  Not only that, Esther revealed to the king that it was her very own uncle and her own people that Haman sought to destroy. 

I have condensed this story, but in the end, Haman and his ten sons were hanged on the gallows meant for Mordecai, and the king granted that Mordecai receive the grand house of Haman.  He took the ring back that he had given to Haman and he gave it to Mordecai.  All of the Jews were also spared, but their enemies killed, by order of the king.  

"Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it, and he who rolls a stone, it will return upon him" Proverbs 26:27.

Do we not see the same evil spirit of Haman working in Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, and Muslims throughout the world today, who have set out to kill and destroy Jews and Christians?  It is the same spirit which has been present in the world from the days of Haman even to present day Ahmadinejad.

The Word of God goes on to tell us that in these last days a world dictator, referred to as the Antichrist (man of sin or son of perdition), will arise and cause everyone to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their forehead (Revelation 13:16-18).  The mark represents this wicked man of sin, the Antichrist.  In this same passage of Revelation 13, we are told that no one can buy or sell without the "mark of the beast," the Antichrist.  We learn in Revelation 20:4, that everyone who refuses this mark will be beheaded.

Does that sound familiar to you?  You only need to ask yourself who beheads people even now in the world.  Muslims!  Sharia law calls for the beheading of those who commit certain sins. 

The Muslims are waiting for their Mahdi (Muslim messiah), who will cause everyone to be killed who will not convert to Islam (Hadith 9:4), which Jews and Christians will never do!  I believe most of us can put two and two together...  Mahdi = Antichrist, one in the same.

The Ottoman Empire (Muslim Caliphate) was officially abolished on March 3, 1924.  Those Muslims hated Jews and killed God only knows how many.  Hitler conspired with Muslims to kill all of the Jews, annihilate them from the face of the earth.  Now, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, threatens to kill every Jew and wipe Israel off the face of the map.  So......the Haman factor continues......but, let's not forget the end of the story!

Throughout the Word of God and throughout history, God has defeated the enemies of the Jews.  God's Word never fails - it is eternal.  God said, "I will bless those who bless you (Jews) and curse him who curses you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed" Genesis 12:3.
