The Gallows

Esther 7:9 – Haman was hung on the “gallows” he had built for Mordecai.

It is a dangerous position to be surrounded by family and friends whose counsel is against the heart of God, and to be swayed.

Look here:
• Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet.” And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.

We can see the ramifications of an anti-Christ Spirit that walks in a demonic plot where the murdering of God’s people is the plan.

This same murdering spirit is now among us. In our cities, in our nation, in our government, and in us the people.

A city or nation turning from God will soon feel a darkness moving into the camp and eventually there will be a sudden, and frightful, revelation of such regretful mistakes.

Murder isn’t always literal.

✅Sodom and Gomorrah murdered the very heart of God and the ways He desired going their own wicked ways.

✅ The Pharisees murdered the scriptures with their bias bents and ultimately deemed Jesus the “criminal” also murdering Him.

Today, we are “them.”
But heed this warning: both, eventually, come under holy judgment.

The rise of the multitudes partnering in tandem with wickedness and corruption has its due time for a divine reckoning.

Not because God is a punisher but because He is just and He will not be mocked.

He will be a great protector for those affected by the fallout and those remaining in the WAY of the Lord.

Remember Noah.
But do not quickly forget those who perished.

It’s mind-blowing the number of professing “Christian’s” unwilling to do the Godly thing when push comes to shove and then herald a smug victory that God has now marked for coming consequence.

Perhaps, we are merely finding out who is truly for Him because He has known all along the matter of the heart. While outward appearances and language “seems” to be a kind of “for Jesus,” Heaven orchestrates a situation that reveals the truth of the matter.

So here comes the great separation unfolding right before our eyes.

The blood of Jesus, which covers those in Christ, does not absolve us of the self-imposed consequences of freewill.

So be careful that we do not preach what Paul spoke of in the Book regarding using “grace” to do whatever we like in our own hearts.

Because here is Heaven’s glimpse from above on that holy throne:

Instead of life, we rally around that which takes it. Namely, abortion. A modern day holocaust.

Instead of holding fast to the protection of children which is our duty as believers, we allow all manner of anti-Christ programs, books, television shows, etc. to pour into our “family friendly” spaces as if God does not see.

Likewise, it can be said for the corruption of society in every sphere of influence covering up atrocities and abuses against our children. From missing persons to human sex trafficking. If we think it has not infiltrated the highest places and spaces even of our own government we have been utterly deceived.

In both accounts is still the resounding cry of the Voice of the Multitudes echoing Luke 17:2,

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Even pastors, church leaders, and members are now being revealed as breaking the heart of God and betraying His very nature.

Instead of confronting the abuses in the church we are found maligning those calling it out as what it is, SIN.

Instead of holding firm on the family unit designed by God, we have fallen prey to accept a cultural shift that is anti-biblical. This causes such harm to those sweet ones needing the truth that sets them free. I believe in God’s timing on this so we do not further wound those that God loves. The kindness of God leads us to repentance.

But the Lion of Judah has been watching closely His Word to be sure it does perform, and it will confront all that opposes it.

Be sure our sin has been found out.

The great falling away has begun and if we have not shored up what we believe and what we are prepared to fight for, we might well find ourselves on the side of the enemy.

Human beings are not the enemy. Let’s get that straight. Jesus came to save people, heal people and deliver people.

But…

There is a very real enemy of Christ who is gladly, and joyfully, putting those God dearly loves in bondage.

But we, the royal priesthood who have been blood-bought, are called to lovingly, and gently, show people the way back to the heart of Christ rather than linking arms with the kingdom of darkness.

✅ I can love deeply and still be a truth teller.
✅ I can be gentle and kind, yet still confront boldly that which is anti-Christ.

The gospel will offend those hearts who are found rejecting it. But there is no hope of freedom and deliverance for the one left in a lie at the bloody hands of a silent Saint of God.

Decide today whose side you are fighting on. Because Haman once again is building gallows for the people and if we, those who call themselves Jesus followers, remain silent for such a time as this…do not think you will escape what comes next.

For me, I plan on playing the “strong and courageous” Kingdom role we are called to, that ensures Haman hangs on the very gallows he built in Jesus name.

For the King and Kingdom.
