Saddam Hussein and Haman: Many similarities
Alert Focus: A Burdensome Stone
Esther 3:5-6
When Haman saw that Mordecai neither bowed down nor paid homage to him, Haman was filled with rage. But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were; therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.
Esther 7:9-10
Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were before the king said, "Behold indeed, the gallows standing at Haman's house fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai who spoke good on behalf of the king!" And the king said, "Hang him on it."
So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king's anger subsided.
Genesis 12:3
And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."
Galatians 3:13
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"--
One thing that has clearly been missing from any of the debate about the US war in Iraq is the sovereignty of God.
Whether President George W. Bush and his administrations intentions were simply based on bad intelligence (and that can be seriously debated if it ever was incorrect) or specifically to do with oil, gaining a permanent foothold in the Middle East, or even something more sinister, the bottom line is it really does not matter.
Saddam Hussein spent much of the last thirteen years of his reign attacking the Jewish people.
Some of this was direct military assault, but much more was the funding of other anti-Israeli terror organizations. It is well known that he gave financial support of suicide (homicide) bombers families as many WorldNetDaily articles have shown.
I believe that despite what the US Government thought they were doing the LORD used this country to bring judgment on Saddam Hussein.
It is also interesting to note that the first Gulf War ended on February 28, 1991, the date of Purim that year.
The Second and current war in Iraq began with the invasion on March 20, 2003 which also happened to be the second day of Purim or Shushan Purim for that year.
It is finally interesting to note that Saddam Hussein put out a figurative "noose" for the Jewish people only to be hung in a real noose that those of his own country would say was of his own making.
Hussein also saw himself as the 2nd Nebuchadnezzar and spent untold amounts of money in rebuilding Babylon. It is sad that in the end he did not come to his senses like the real Nebuchadnezzar did.
