Obama the Modern Day Haman: Will He Hang from the Gallows He Built for Israel?

Please do not get me wrong. Donald Trump is NOT America’s savior. Our only Savior is the Lord Jesus Christ.

But God does place leaders in their positions, as He also removes them. Donald Trump clearly won the election against Hillary Clinton, and no matter what the Left attempted to do to make his election null and void, it failed miserably for them.

God knows the thoughts and the hearts of all men and women. He knew that the Obama regime detested His people Israel, and He knew that the U.S. abstention from voting at the U.N. was coming. So He placed Donald Trump as victor in the presidential elections. And I believe that Israel knows that they will once again have a friend in the White House.

I came across a compelling comparison between the Book of Esther and the scenario which is playing out right now between Obama and Israel.

This piece is from a blog of a Messianic Rabbi, and is from 2015. I think that this blog is even more compelling today, in light of the U.N. vote, and Obama’s abstention which allowed the vote to stand.

Obama, The New Haman
Rabbi/Pastor Roy Blight: Posted on Sunday, September 20, 2015

Ecclesiastes 1:9,
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”

We have all heard that history repeats itself and life goes in cycles. That certainly seems to be the case with Barrack Obama, the Jewish nation of Israel and historical references found in the book of Esther.

The modern nation of Iran is the ancient nation of Persia. Again, please remember that Persia is the setting for the entire book of Esther. The current Iranian regime has earned the reputation today of being the No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism in the whole world. Above everyone else they hate the Jews. Some things never change do they? Iran has built a coalition of hatred, military power and religious fervor aimed directly at Israel and the Jews. Remember, America to the Iranians is the ‘Great Satan’ and Israel is the ‘Little Satan’. The problem for Israel is that they are so close to the the action in their part of the world, every day could be their last. The Iranians predict almost daily the annihilation of the Jewish state. It’s the same rhetoric we witnessed in the book of Esther!

Recently, Israel’s closest ally, the American nation has turned its back on Israel. In what looked to be an absolute surrender to the Iranian Mullahs’, America begged Iran to let them give Iran billions of dollars in exchange for the United States to say they have a deal with Iran. How absurd is that? The new world order is declaring a great victory for mankind too. What are people smoking? Iran is telling everyone they gave up nothing. At the same time, America is shrugging her shoulders at the Jewish state wondering why Israel is so angry. Could it be because Iran has now been promised billions of dollars in which to prepare for war against Israel? This is all as illogical and surreal as anything I have ever seen. A quick look at the Iran Nuke deal reveals three very critical factors at its heart:

1. Iran’s ambition to “wipe Israel off the map” (their own admission).
2. An American president who has made an agreement with an anti-Semitic Iranian empire determined to annihilate Jews.
3. A Jewish prime minister by the name of Benjamin. If you have ever read the book of Esther you will find the whole situation of today a direct parallel to the book of Esther. Esther’s uncle was Mordecai, the Benjaminite Jew. Mordecai was a giant of a man.

Yes, what we are seeing happen today greatly resembles the story of Queen Esther and her Uncle Mordecai. In fact, it is eerie. With this thought ringing in my mind, it doesn’t seem to take a genius to see the many comparisons of Esther’s story and what is happening now with Iran, America and the State of Israel. Haman, the evil hater of the Jews and Barrack Obama seem to have very much in common. I think President Obama has emerged as the new Haman in our day.

To catch up with the story keep in mind, just as it was in Esther’s day, the situation looked really bad for the Jewish nation. Haman had plotted against the Jews, finally demanding their destruction. I think it obvious that Barrack Obama is playing the same role of Haman to a great degree. I also think the Lord our God is well aware of man’s blasphemous, murderous plans.

To Recap: The book of Esther is the story of a jealous anti-Semitic politician, Haman, who convinces a nation that the Jewish people are worthy of being destroyed. Haman used the strategy of delegitimization and demonization to prove that Jews were unworthy of life itself. He painted a picture of Jews being an existential threat to the future of Persia. Interestingly, Haman was not a Persian but an Amalekite. However, being very rich, influential and having enormous political sway, he made an alliance with the king of Persia with designs to exterminate the Jewish people.

Remember, the Amalekites, Haman’s forebears, were the ancient enemies of Israel. The Amalekites were the ones who attacked Israel in the wilderness during their exodus from Egypt. Joshua led the Israelite army while Aaron and Hur held up the hands of Moses. After the Hebrews defeated Amalek, God proclaimed to Moses:

Exodus 17:16,
“For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

In so many passages of scripture you find the Amalekites, or those related to them plotting against the Jews. The brooding, hateful and lusting power of Amalek (the spirit of anti-Semitism) has always had its Hamans. A person doesn’t have to search very far in Jewish history to find those inspired by Amalek. They were around in Biblical days and they are around today. Jewish history has had numerous people dedicated to the destruction of God’s Chosen People and still do.

So, are there similarities between Haman and Obama? Well, yes there is. I see a definite and sickening connection between Persia of old and the current Haman representing the USA right now. The question is begging to be asked, is history repeating itself? It always has before. I believe President Obama and Haman are of the same Amalekite stripe. Consider these facts:

TWO NAMES, SAME COUNTRY: Iran is modern-day Persia.

TWO DEALS MADE ON THE EXACT SAME DATE: Evil Haman and the king of Persia (Iran) made a deal on the 13th day of the first month of Nissan. Esther 3:12, “Then the kings scribes were called on the 13th day of the first month (Nissan) and a decree was written according to all that Haman commanded.” The deal gave the Persian people the freedom to annihilate the Jewish people in the Middle East. President Obama and the current king of Persia (Iran) made a deal on April 2, 2015, which on the Jewish calendar is the 13th day of the first month of Nissan. This deal allows Iran (Persia) to build a nuclear bomb that has the capacity to annihilate the Jews living in Israel. The date this deal was made was the exact date Haman made a deal with the king of Persia.

TWO MEN WHO MADE CONVENIENT YET DESTRUCTIVE POLITICAL ALLIANCES: Haman was not Persian yet had an affinity for the religion of Persia and made an alliance with the Persian Empire. President Obama is not Iranian(Persian), but has a very strong affinity and deep love for the Islamic political ideology and religion.

TWO BENJAMINS: Mordecai was a Benjamite. The Prime Minister of Israel is named Benjamian, Benjamin Netanyahu.

TWO HAMANS OFFENDED: Haman was offended when Mordecai the Benjamite refused to bow to his stature and demands. President Obama is offended by Benjamin Netanyahu because he refuses to bow to his ongoing political demands.

TWO ISSUES OF PROTOCOL: Because of protocol, Esther was forbidden to speak in the king’s court unless she was called by the king himself. Benjamin Netanyahu was discouraged by President Obama from addressing Congress last March.

TWO GALLOWS BUILT: Through his alliance with the king of ancient Persia, Haman built a gallows in Shushan, the capital city of Persia to hang the Benjamite Jew, Mordecai. The gallows were 50 cubits in height, a little over 80 feet tall. On January 23, 2015, the Jerusalem Post reported satellite images of a structure looking much like a gallows. They had never seen anything like it before in its locale. The structure is in Tehran. The structure is a launching pad for an ICBM missile capable of reaching Israel. It is reported height was 50 cubits, a little more than 80 feet tall.

TWO PURIMS: When God delivered Esther, Mordecai the Benjamite, and the Jewish people from Haman’s anger, and Persian wrath, she called for a celebration that became one of the feasts of the Jewish people known as Purim. In Hebrew, Purim is Hebrew for “lots” because Haman cast lots to determine the day of the Jews’ destruction. However, God turned the ‘lots’ in the Jews’ favor. Purim of 2015 was March 4-5th. Benjamin Netanyahu appealed to the American nation to save and protect the Jewish people in a speech he gave to Congress on March 3rd. This was the 12th of Adar on the Jewish calendar, Purim Eve.

TWO BOOKS: Mordecai wrote the decree of Esther that counteracted evil Haman’s decree and saved the Jews from annihilation. The story surrounding the decree would later become the biblical book of Esther. On March 7, 2012, Purim Eve, in a visit to America to discuss the Persian nuclear threat, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a book to President Barrack Obama. The book was the book of Esther.

TWO SIGNATURES: When King Ahasuerus agreed to Haman’s plot to erase the more than 3 million Jews from the Persian empire, he gave him his signature ring to sign the decree. In our day the press has given their signature and title to President Obama’s quest for a radical Islamic nuclear Iran. It is President Obama’s signature foreign policy achievement.

TWO GATES: When Mordecai learned of Haman’s plot, he fasted, mourned and cried loudly. He put on sackcloth and ashes and went to the entrance of the king’s gate. He wasn’t allowed to enter because he was in mourning and making too much noise. A former U.S. Secretary of Defense writes in his memoir that he was so irritated by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s constant concern over America’s softness toward Iran he told the national security adviser to keep Benjamin Netanyahu locked outside of the White House gate because he was making too much noise. Ironically, the Secretary of Defense was Robert Gates.

TWO FAILED ASSIMULATIONS: Haman’s hatred toward the Jews was rooted in the fact that they would not blend into the multiculturalism of Persian society. The Jews would not assimulate. A present-day spirit of multiculturalism seethes at the very thought of a Jewish state.

TWO SILVER ENRICHMENTS: Haman made a deal with the king of Persia that included enriching Persian vaults with 10,000 silver talents. President Obama has made a deal with the Supreme Leader of Iran that includes enriching uranium (a silver metal) within 10 years.

TWO MEN WITH THE SAME DAILY FRUSTRATIONS: Haman was enraged toward Mordecai because every day he passed through the city gate Mordecai refused to bow down to pay him homage. In a conversation about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that was picked up by a “hot” microphone between President Obama and the president of France (at that time, Nicolas Sarkozy) in November 2011, Sarkozy stated: “I cannot stand him.” President Obama replied, “You’re fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day.”

TWO GEORGES: Is history repeating itself? Seems like it is. It appears we are witnessing another Persian conspiracy against the Jewish nation. Are we witnessing another Haman-like drama unfold before our eyes? As you think about these connections, consider two statements by two Georges: George Santayana said, “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” ; and, George Bernard Shaw said, “We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.”

Isaiah 46:8-10,
“Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:” – source

Haman met his end by being hung from the same gallows which he had constructed for Mordecai. As a child in the synagogue, I remember that on Purim, the story of Queen Esther would be told to us. Whenever the name “Haman” was said by the story teller, we had little noise makers which we would swing round and round. It truly made a very offensive sound. We would also shout “BOOO” along with our noise makers. But when the part of the story was told that Haman was hung from the same gallows he had intended for Mordecai – we children would cheer!

I believe that God’s judgment will be upon the heads of Barack Obama and John Kerry. I do not know how these men will meet their end. Perhaps not gallows, but God certainly knows.

I will not shed one tear for either of them.

In the aftermath of the 2016 election, we continue to see rioting and violence spread across America. Chants of “not my president” and “not my country” are common. Some of the demonstrations have turned anti-American with the burning of American flags and even deadly as a protest blocking traffic kept an ambulance from getting to a hospital in time to save a man’s life.

In addition to my initial anger at seeing violence fill our streets, I feel sorrow for the protesters. Their shepherds promised them a greener pasture while failing to warn them of the approaching dark clouds, fierce storms, and certain delays for their hopes.

Although not explicitly talked about or even recognized, the underlying reality in all we see is a clash of kingdoms. On the one side is the humanistic gospel that somehow through a powerful and benevolent state we can find the long sought harmony between all peoples, eliminate poverty, and forever preserve the environment.

On the other side is not what you might think. It’s not the call to restore America’s greatness again, but what it represents.

Do you remember God’s response to those who built the tower of Babel? They defiantly sought answers in the unity of mankind apart from the Lord. God, knowing where their rebellion would take them, responded by dividing the world into nationalities and a host of varying cultures, languages, and people groups. God split the world into nations so our hope would reside in Him, not in human government or in mankind.

The ultimate clash is God’s kingdom versus globalism. And, the election of Trump represents only a small bump in the road for those seeking the establishment of this coming world order. They already have much in place. . . .

What Is Agenda 2030?

You might be tempted to think this talk of a world order is all a conspiracy theory and that perhaps I’ve gone way over the edge. Let me explain why hopes for this future world government are real.

The blueprint for this new world order is called “Agenda 2030” and you can read about it on the UN website. This is not a secret initiative and no effort whatsoever has been made to hide it from us.

Agenda 2030 consists of seventeen “Post -2015 Sustainable Development Goals” with 169 targets to achieve those goals.[i]  On the surface many of these goals, though no all, seem laudable as they seek to “free the human race from the tyranny of poverty,” preserve the environment, and establish worldwide peace. Who wouldn’t want such things? The problem lies not in the goals so much as in the methods employed to achieve such ends, which have always failed in the past on a national level.

Goal ten makes it clear that this new world government will be socialist, which means that a group of elite rulers will decide upon the distribution of wealth across all nations. This goal is to “reduce inequality within and among nations.” How can this be possible apart from a governing board deciding upon the fair distribution of wealth within and among nations?

The goals of the Agenda 2030 cannot be achieved without enforcement at a high level, a socialistic world order where the elite will dictate the wellbeing of the masses.

Though not all agree with me on this point, many who have studied the goals of Agenda 2030 believe they cannot be implemented apart from a powerful group of the rich controlling the world.

Is America Committed to Agenda 2030?

That’s fine for the UN to have those goals, you might be saying, but do they really affect the United States? Is our country really committed to such a sweeping and fundamental change of the world leading to the elimination of nationalism as we know it? Yes!

The following statement is taken from the Whitehouse website:

2015 is a pivotal year for global development. World leaders gathered in New York today to adopt the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (“2030 Agenda”). The adoption of the 2030 Agenda, which sets out a global development vision and priorities for the next 15 years, captures the hopes and ambitions of people around the globe for meaningful change and progress, including here in the United States. Through the adoption of this historic framework, the United States joins with countries around the world in pledging to leave no one behind by ending extreme poverty and prioritizing policies and investments that have long-term, transformative impact and are sustainable. Under the Obama Administration, the United States has committed and helped mobilize more than $100 billion in new funding from other donors and the private sector to fight poverty in the areas of health, food security, and energy. In the United States, the adoption of the 2030 Agenda coincides with a growing bipartisan consensus on the importance of global development, and direct philanthropic contributions from the American people, who annually provide substantial support for emergency relief and development around the world. . . .[ii]

The United States is firmly committed to the implementation of the Agenda 2030 goals, which are nothing less than socialism at an international level rather than on a national level.

Billionaire George Soros is a leading proponent of this coming world order and speaks openly and often of the need for a worldwide financial system to replace the broken economies of countries such as the Unity States.[iii]

Many people, including myself, think it’s likely a devastating worldwide financial collapse will be the opportunity to demonstrate the need for such a global economy and hence a worldwide government with real authority beyond what the UN currently possesses.

Will Agenda 2030 Succeed?

Will there ever be such a world order? Will Agenda 2030 succeed?

My answer may surprise you. Yes! It will surely succeed at some point.

Whether in the current form of Agenda 2030 or through some future set of goals, the main objectives of this program will at some future time be briefly realized on earth.

I say this because Scripture foretells the future existence of just such a kingdom. Beginning with the Prophet Daniel in the sixth century BC, the Bible clearly warns that a future world order will at some point overtake the world. Throughout the book he wrote, Daniel prophesied of a kingdom that would envelop the entire world and facilitate the rise to power of someone we refer to today as the Antichrist.

The book of Revelation also clearly prophesies of this same coming domain. The global financial system advocated by George Soros is exactly what we see in Revelation 13. Under the leadership of the Antichrist, however, it will turn oppressive and deadly. Such a worldwide economic system must already exist by the halfway point of the prophesied seven-year tribulation for this future satanic leader to manipulate in the manner described in Revelation 13.

Jesus’ Kingdom

My hope most definitely does not consist of the vision to “make America great again.” I am not against this sentiment, it’s just that my ultimate hope rests in the manifestation of a much greater kingdom, one to which I already belong. Colossians 1:13-14 says, “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

The Bible teaches that this currently invisible domain will someday crush and destroy the existing world order at Christ’s second coming. Daniel pictures the arrival of Jesus’ kingdom as that of a rock demolishing the kingdoms of this world (2:43-45). The prophet also prophesied of the coming of “one like a son of man” who would be given kingdoms and dominions of this world once this final world order is crushed (7:8-14).

Jesus later claimed to be this “one like a son of man” who would crush the domains of the world and setup His everlasting kingdom on earth (Matt. 26:64).

Psalm 2 is just as current today as it was 3,000 years ago when first penned. Verse 1 asks, “Why do the nations rage and the people plot in vain?” This Psalm clearly speaks of the clash of kingdoms we see today. In the end, Jesus receives the kingdoms of this world as His inheritance from the Father.

Earlier, I said that the election of Trump only signifies a small bump in the road to those dreaming of a heavenly paradise on earth with a united humanity. If Hillary had won, I would have regarded the reality of Agenda 2030 as being a step closer.

Even the full implementation of Agenda 2030, however, cannot stop the coming kingdom of my wonderful Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. He is alive. He is coming again just as He promised.

Jesus, the good and true Shepherd, will bring about a kingdom that will far exceed all the dreams that could be possibly imagined by proponents of the new world order. Those who know Jesus will enjoy this paradise on earth and in heaven forever. Those on the left are seeking a temporary paradise that will surely disappointment them in the end

Does this mean we ignore the wellbeing of those around us until the Christ’s kingdom comes? Heavens no! Only that we do so knowing that lasting peace for the world and the healing of creation only comes with Jesus’ return to earth.

Now is a time of hope because with each passing day the return of Jesus draws ever so close and with it our final redemption and full realization of our adoption into God’s family (see Rom. 8:18-24).

In Jesus alone there is no hate, only love. He died on the cross so that all who believe in Him may have eternal life.

If your trust for eternity is not in Him, please turn to Him before it is too late.

If you as a believer have your hopes set on the things of this life, please recognize such hopes must be redirected to God’s eternal kingdom and Jesus’ soon return to take us home.
