He Was Hanged On His Own Gallows - Death Of Khamenei Series

HE WAS HANGED ON HIS OWN GALLOWS - DEATH OF KHAMENEI

I know many are commenting of the situation in the Middle East but I feel compelled to add a few comments here. Jesus said this to Peter at the arrest in Gethsemane – {{Matthew 26:52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.”}} That was a lesson for impulsive Peter but it is one of the principles of life.

Over recent times I was curious to learn more of the famous outlaws of the American Wild West, names like Jesse James and the Younger Brothers and Billy the Kid. These lived by the gun and died either by the gun or by hanging. What Jesus said to Peter has played out over and over in history.

[1]. HAMAN WAS HIS NAME

There was an evil man in Persia a long time ago who absolutely hated the Jews (let us say for simplicity, “The Jewish nation”). He despised one Jew in particular whose name was Mordecai, the uncle of Queen Esther. This hateful man was called Haman. The world has seen thousands of Hamans since that time.

Mordecai refused to inflate the ego of the hateful and godless man – {{Esther 3:1-2 “After these events King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and established his authority over all the princes who were with him, and all the king’s servants who were at the king’s gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him, BUT MORDECAI NEITHER BOWED DOWN NOR PAID HOMAGE.”}}

For that reason Haman set out to destroy Mordecai and built a set of gallows on which to hang righteous Mordecai, but what satanic men do not realise, is that if you oppose Israel or the Jews, then the following verse comes into operation – {{Genesis 12:3 “I will bless those who bless you and THE ONE WHO CURSES YOU I WILL CURSE. In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed,”}}

Well, in time, the God who never slumbers nor sleeps, at the last moment saved His people by the deliverance of His hand. As a result this was the outcome – {{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.}}

The irony of this is that he who wanted to eliminate the Jews was eliminated by the same means he had planed for the elimination. Remember Jesus said, “He who takes up the sword will perish by the sword.” Live by the sword and perish by the sword.

[2]. LET US TIME TRAVEL FOR 2500 YEARS

Let us pass from Haman’s time to 2 500 years into the future to NOW. Any thinking person knows of the wickedness of the Iranian regime and its 40 year quest to eliminate Israel. God will never allow that to happen of course because His people Israel has a glorious future, full of blessing. Let us look at a little background.

There were two characters in the Old Testament who played a specific part in their time. The first was JEHU and this is the entrance for him – {{1 Kings 19:16 “and JEHU the son of Nimshi you shall anoint king over Israel, and ELISHA the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place,”}}. Elijah was commanded to anoint Jehu and Elisha.

Jehu was not a righteous man but had an appointment from God to be carried out. He did that and eliminated the great wickedness of Ahab and Jezebel from Israel. And he eliminated the worship of Baal.

The second great man was CYRUS THE GREAT. This is his entrance – {{Ezra 1:1-2 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he sent a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing saying, “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.”}}

Cyrus was not one of the redeemed of Israel but God used him greatly for the blessing and welfare of His people. Cyrus was also Persian, probably the greatest ruler that nation had from then until now.
