The Antichrist

Esther 3:6 “Yet having learned who Mordecai’s people were, he scorned the idea of killing only Mordecai. Instead, Haman looked for a way to destroy all Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the whole kingdom of Xerxes.”

Haman is a type of the Antichrist still to come. Whether it is Haman, Antiochus Epiphanies, Adolph Hitler or the Antichrist himself, the goal is always the same – kill the Jews! Thus it is no surprise that we read above that “Haman looked for a way to destroy all Mordecai’s people, the Jews.” And thus, unfortunately, it shall happen again. In a very sobering prophecy, the Lord Jesus directly warned the Jews in Judea to flee for their lives when they see the “abomination of desolation” for “then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now– and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened “(Matt 24:21-22).

The Antichrist will rise to great political heights just as Haman did. He will also desire and demand the worship of the people – something Haman definitely desired. Both have a nature that is totally self-focused, to the point where they despise utterly any who would not grant them the worship that they desire and, in their minds, deserve. The end result, as we have seen, is that both will hate God and hate His people… to the extent of even trying to kill an entire race of people – the Jews (and in the case of the Antichrist, the saints of God as well).
