Proverbs 26:27 HCSB “The one who digs a pit will fall into it, and whoever rolls a stone — it will come back on him.”

I wonder what was going through Haman’s mind as they were leading him to the gallows. The fear he felt must have been horrific. Imagine; you think you’re about to get rid of your enemies, only to be hung by your own trap. God’s judgment is righteous indeed! I see why God says not to set traps for people. Guess what? The whole world is falling into Haman’s trap.

Haman had a 75-foot high gallows built to hang Mordecai on it (his enemy). Why? Because Mordecai would not bow down or pay homage to him. This enraged Haman so went a step further; he mustered a plot to kill Mordecai’s people the Jews. This was Satan at work through Haman to exterminate God’s people. You can read about it in the book of Esther. It’s a short book in the Bible that has interesting lessons about faith and God’s protection. 

In Revelation chapter eleven we see something similar taking place. The beast and his subjects are gloating. They’re celebrating like it’s Christmas because they have killed the two witnesses. Then something strange happens:

Revelation 11:11-12 HCSB “But after 3 1/2 days, the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet. So great fear fell on those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” They went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies watched them.”

Yes, these martyrs are resurrected like Jesus was. Their enemies see them come back from the dead. They also watch them go up into heaven. Can you imagine how these persecutors will feel then? 

Revelation 11:13‭-‬14 LEB “And at that hour a great earthquake took place, and a tenth of the city collapsed, and seven thousand people were killed by the earthquake, and the rest became terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly!”

ONCE THEY FINISH THEIR TESTIMONY 

Revelation 11:7-10 HCSB “When they finish their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, conquer them, and kill them. Their dead bodies will lie in the public square of the great city, which prophetically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. And representatives from the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations will view their bodies for three and a half days and not permit their bodies to be put into a tomb. Those who live on the earth will gloat over them and celebrate and send gifts to one another because these two prophets brought judgment to those who live on the earth.”

Once the two witnesses finish their testimony of Jesus Christ the beast kills them. (Revelation 12:17) This reminds me of the passage where Jesus says:

John 9:4 KJV “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.”

Jesus spoke of a time when He and His disciple’s work would come to an end; nighttime, a time of total darkness, “when no man can work.” In the very next verse He says:

John 9:5 HCSB “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

Jesus is still the light of the world. He operates through His church, His body. (Matthew 5:14-16) But what will the state of the world be when the church is gone? This question reminds me of a period of darkness in human history we don’t hear much about:

Genesis 6:1-4 HCSB “When mankind began to multiply on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of mankind were beautiful, and they took any they chose as wives for themselves. And the Lord said, “My Spirit will not remain with mankind forever, because they are corrupt. Their days will be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth both in those days and afterward, when the sons of God came to the daughters of mankind, who bore children to them. They were the powerful men of old, the famous men.”

The whole world became corrupt in Noah’s day. Fallen angels (sons of God) came down to earth and procreated with human women creating a hybrid race. This was not God’s creation. These wicked genetics and their evil effects spread through time. It got so bad the only people God thought were worth saving was Noah and his family (only 8 people). They weren’t infected by this alien DNA. They were still human. They were not corrupt. Have you ever wondered what would happen if everyone gets turned into a wicked, genetic hybrid all over again like in Noah’s day? Let’s say this happens through a DNA editing shot or something. Hmmmmm. Would it be nighttime all over again? (Ecclesiastes 1:9 3:15) A time of total darkness, “When no man can work?” (John 9:4) Remember, Jesus died to redeem mankind, not demonkind. If there are no more humans left who would there be left to save? It’s reported that of the 7 billion plus people on earth about 5 and a half billion have been fully vaccinated. Hmmmmm, how interesting.

GUILTY AS CHARGED

Let’s go back to Revelation 11:7-11: “These two prophets brought judgment to those who live on the earth.” This is why the beast and his subjects want them dead. They’re tired of hearing their judgment messages from God. (Matthew 23:33-35) It’s no different from how any prophets of God were treated throughout time. God’s true servants have always been persecuted, hounded, and hunted. True servants of God speak God’s message; the good, the bad, and the ugly. The world hates the truth. It hates truth now more than ever. And Satan is seeing to it through his sorcery called a vaccine that no one is redeemable. (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 Revelation 18:23 14:9-11) They are changing (mutating) and becoming worse. ‘Get rid of those who speak God’s message,’ they say. This will ultimately provoke God’s anger into action as it did in Noah’s day.

The guy we first talked about in this article (Haman) wanted to be worshiped. The beast in the books of Daniel and Revelation wants worship. The dragon (Satan) who gave the beast its power wants worship. All who have taken his mark have the beast’s character and want worship too. They will be ecstatic once they feel they’ve gotten rid of God’s messengers. (Revelation 11:10) Only to find out like Haman did they fell into their own trap.

Daniel 7:23-28 LEB “And he said, ‘The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom that will be on the earth that will be different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth and it will trample it and it will crush it. And as for the ten horns coming from it, from this kingdom ten kings will arise, and another will arise after them. And he will be different from the earlier ones, and he will subdue three kings. And he will speak words against the Most High, and he will wear out the holy ones of the Most High, and he will attempt to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand for a time and two times and half a time. Then the court will sit, and his dominion will be removed, to be eradicated and to be destroyed totally. And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the nation of the holy ones of the Most High; his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey him.’ This is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel—my thoughts terrified me greatly and my face changed over me, but I kept the matter in my heart.”

Isaiah 41:10-13 HCSB “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with My righteous right hand. Be sure that all who are enraged against you will be ashamed and disgraced; those who contend with you will become as nothing and will perish. You will look for those who contend with you, but you will not find them. Those who war against you will become absolutely nothing. For I, Yahweh your God, hold your right hand and say to you: Do not fear, I will help you.”
