The Great Reversal Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 18, 2019

God did a great reversal. On an individual level, everything that Haman has and craved for, ended up with Mordecai. On a national level, the Jews were given the right to fight for their survival, against sure extermination.

The enemy Haman has been removed. The King’s anger subsided. Mordecai has gotten his recognition, but the problem remains. • The removal of Haman is not the end of the problem for the Jews. There’s still an unfinished task. The first edict of the King issued through Haman still stands. • The ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 43 – Princes Were Abused And Young Men Forced Into Harsh Servitude By Ruthless Babylon - Lamentations 5:12-13 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2025

The description of horrible conditions continues, this time with degrading action against the princes, and terrible forced labour upon the young men. A conquering army often forces humiliation on the defeated people and treats them terribly. Symptomatic of a sinful world.

John wanted his readers to stop denying their sin and to start confessing their sins.

(1 John 1:8 NKJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. John didn't want his readers to be led astray by the Gnostic heresy of sinless perfection.
