From Chapter 3:5-15 of the study of the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam expounds on the reality that God’s enemies always seek to do away with God’s people Israel and His purpose for them. In pride, Haman the agagite of Amalek was angry because Mordecai the Jew would not bow to him. In his anger, Haman sought to destroy all Mordecai’s people who live throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus. He chose the thirteenth day of the Hebrew month of Adar to be the date in which he would kill all Jews, young and old, children and women, in one day. By planning Jewish destruction Haman continued to do what his ancestors sought to do years earlier, when Israel came out of the land of Egypt, as it is recorded in Exodus 17:8, "Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim." God would preserve His people from all their enemies.
