The Fall of the House of Haman
Though it seemed at one time that all hope was gone for the Jews, God brings deliverance in the end. But when God delivers, it is not just a partial deliverance.

We can see that God is in the process of giving a great victory to Mordecai and to the Jewish people.

The Word Made Flesh
