The Destruction of Haman by the Ministry of Esther
ESTHER 3:8-10
8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; (Notice how the bride of this hour is a people scattered abroad among the provinces of the kingdoms of this world) and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them. (The headship of these people was the word of God, but they were living in a nation that had formed their own laws with little regard for the truth of God’s law so that the people of God got to a place where they were forced to choose whether to obey the laws of the nation or the laws of God, and this is what triggered off the persecution for Queen Esther and her people – and so this is showing us about the world that we are living in today)
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries (This guy’s got the financial power and now he just needs the political power in order make this law against the people of God – so right here we see political, financial, and demon power uniting against the people of God – 3 power like with Gideon, gathering against the people of God).
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
ESTHER 3:13-14
13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar (Genocide – the same spirit that was on Hayman came back on Hitler in the 1930’s), and to take the spoil of them for a prey (Many Jews lost millions of dollars of their entire wealth to the Germans during the Holocaust).
14 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day. (Notice – an appointed day of death - a death sentence predetermined for a certain day, and if we think about it, that is actually what we are all living under from the day that we are born into this world is a death sentence determined for a certain day, and it applies to young and old and woman and little children – there are no exceptions for this death sentence of what we see the law of sin and death has introduced)
The Destruction of Haman by the Ministry of Esther
Subject - The Mark of the Beast
In our studies of the book of Esther, we have seen the ministry of Mordecai (which represents the 7th angel’s ministry of this hour). Then we have looked at the ministry of Hatach which was the ministry that was faithful to reiterate Mordecai’s message to Esther, and Hatach’s ministry represents the true 5 fold ministry of this hour that has been faithful to preach the message of this hour to the bride of this hour – Esther was the bride of that hour by the choosing of a bride by the king, but then as the story of Esther goes on we see that Esther moves into her own ministry because she is the one that comes into a maturity of character by the ministry of Mordecai and Hatach in order to bring about the resurrection of her people.
**So we want to see how she did this so that we will also know how to do it in this hour, because there is also a resurrection promised for this hour also.
***But before we continue with this subject of Esther – we want to look at John the Baptist when he was locked down in the prison house – remember that during the revealing of the son of man ministry he was cast into prison - he was forced into a lockdown situation where he lost the freedom of contact with other believers.
***So we know that while he was in this condition, that that was when his eagle eye began to get dimmed over – he began to get a little confused in his mind, and so we see how Jesus dealt with this because the cure was to show him how that the current events of the son of man ministry were fulfilling all that was prophesied for that day concerning the word for that hour.
In other words, he needed reminding of the real purpose of all the events that were taking place in his day that it was scripture being fulfilled, and that was what his eagle eye was failing to see.
*And so we as the people of this eagle age message also have eagle anointed eyes in this hour, and so we also need reminding (especially in a lockdown situation) that all these things that are happening on the earth at this time is all according to what has been prophesied for this hour – our faith should be getting stronger and not weaker.
MATTHEW 11:2-6
2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? (Notice - He was beginning to doubt his own revelation of when he had seen the dove descending down on Jesus and knowing that Jesus was the one – but look how Jesus deals with this problem of John.)
4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
***Remember - John is locked up because of his service to the true God, and that is often hard for people to grasp because they think that that is unfair of God to allow such to happen to them after they have served the Lord – this was brother Branham greatest test in that after he had served the Lord, his wife and baby died and God shut the door on his face. People think in their hearts - “Why is it that after I have served God under this son of man ministry and now I am in lockdown and suffering in a prison house? Why has God let me come to this condition?” – And we can become offended at God and begin to question his will for our lives because we don’t understand the plan and purpose of God in all these things.
*This is what the book of Job was all about.
**People can become offended in the ministry of the son of man because of their own prison house of suffering that they find themselves in from time to time – and they begin to question as to why a loving God would allow such upon them when they have served the Lord to the best of their ability for the cause of the son of man ministry.
This was the whole argument of Jobs friends – and this was John the Baptists mind struggle when he also found himself in lockdown – and this sets the basis of the mind battles that many of us also struggle with.
**So this is why we have to retell the events of the son of man ministry of this day in order to bring back the clarity of revelation to our eagle eye sight again.
By now we should already know who we are in this hour…
176-1 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5
… The true prophet of God in this last day will proclaim the whole Word. Denominations will hate him. His words may be as harsh as John the Baptist who called them vipers. But the predestinated will hear and be ready for the rapture. The Royal Seed of Abraham, with like faith as Abraham's will hold to the Word with him, for they are predestinated together.
**That is our commission as the bride in this age – it is to hold to the word as did the messenger to this age – we are predestinated together with him to hold to the truth of this hour – that is what Job did when he was going through his trial – that is what every true believer does.
339-1 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
…Revelation 10:7
"And in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished as He hath declared to His servants the prophets."
There it is. He is sending a vindicated prophet. He is sending a prophet after almost two thousand years. He is sending someone who is so far from organization, education, and the world of religion that as John the Baptist and Elijah of old, He will hear only from God and he will have "thus saith the Lord" and speak for God. He will be God's mouthpiece and HE, AS IT IS DECLARED IN MALACHI 4:6, WILL TURN THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN BACK TO THE FATHERS. He will bring back the elect of the last day and they will hear a vindicated prophet give the exact truth as it was with Paul. He will restore the truth as they had it. And those elect with him in that day will be the ones who truly manifest the Lord and be His Body and be His voice and perform His works. Hallelujah! Do you see it?
365-1 LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.9
…He is yet crying. And His cry is not only in the spiritual ears of men by His Spirit, but once again a prophet is in the land. Once more God will reveal the truth as He did to Paul. In the days of the seventh messenger, in the days of the Laodicean Age, its messenger will reveal the mysteries of God as revealed to Paul. He will speak out, and those who receive that prophet in his own name will receive the beneficent effect of that prophet's ministry. And they that hear him will be blessed and become part of that bride of the last day who are mentioned in Revelation 22:17,
"The Spirit and the bride say come."
The corn of wheat (the Bride Wheat) that fell into the ground at Nicaea has come back to original Word Grain again. Praise God forever. Yes, listen to the authenticated prophet of God who appears in this last age. What he says from God, the bride will say. The Spirit and the prophet and the bride will be saying the same thing. And what they will say will have already been said in the Word.
375-3 A.RESUME.OF.THE.AGES - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.10
The Lutheran Age was the springtime. The Wesleyan Age was the summer of growth. The Laodicean Age is the harvest time of gathering the tares for binding and burning; and garnering the wheat for the Lord.
375-4
Harvest time. Have you noticed that in the harvest time, though there is a real acceleration in the ripening, there is consequently a slowing of growth until there is no growth? Is that not exactly what we are seeing now? The false vine is losing multitudes to the Communists and various other types of belief. Her numbers are not increasing as she would like us to think. Her hold on the people is not what it used to be, and in so many cases going to church is just a show. And the true vine? What about her? Is she growing? Where are those vast numbers that keep coming to revivals and answer altar calls? Are not most of them merely emotional in their approach, or desirous of something physical rather than desiring that which is truly Spiritual? Is this age not like the day in which Noah entered the ark, and the door was shut, but yet God tarried in judgment seven days? No one was literally turned to God in those silent days.
375-5
And yet it is the harvest time. There then must come upon the scene in this age those who will bring the wheat and tares to maturity. The tares are already maturing very fast under corrupt teachers who turn the people from the Word. But the wheat also must mature. And to her, God is sending the Prophet-Messenger with the vindicated ministry that he might be accepted by the elect. They will hear him as the first church heard Paul, and she will mature in the Word until becoming a Word Bride the mighty works will be found in her that are always attendant upon the pure Word and faith.
I think it is important at this time to refresh our memory of what the message of the hour teaches us of what the mark of the beast is – it is not your eftpos card as many thought when eftpos came out, it is not the covid vaccine, it’s the spirit of denomination which places a spirit of man’s leadership in the heart of a man that is above the leadership of the word – that was the difference between Vashti and Esther.
That is what the 3 Hebrew children had to also withstand in their day – bowing down to the image of a man headship instead of the headship of the word of God.

82 Now what will happen? And when this church, World Council of Churches, goes together, can't you see who is going to do the leading? Can't you Methodists and Presbyterians understand that, the rest of you, even to Pentecostals? You say you're not going in. You're either going in or you'll bust up the denomination. You'll do one or the other. It's right before you, got to do it. It's a forcing, the mark of the beast. And that's what it is, exactly. Denominationalism absolutely (I can prove it by the Bible) is the mark of the beast. "She was a whore; she had prostitute daughters." And we know that that is the Truth. Organized religion, it's contrary to the Word, and it's antichrist in its principles. Not everything in there is antichrist; but in its principles, it's system is antichrist, because it's against the Word of God. Every organized system is that way.
175-2 PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.5
I believe according to Revelation 13:16 that the bride will have to stop preaching for the beast is demanding the mark in the hand or forehead if permission to preach be granted. Denominations will take the mark, or be forced to quit preaching. Then the Lamb will come for His bride and judge the great harlot.
(Then he opens this up further in the Resume of the Ages…)
376-1 A.RESUME.OF.THE.AGES - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.10
The false church groups will come together in a world council of churches. This world council of churches is the IMAGE ERECTED TO THE BEAST.
Revelation 13:11-18,
"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb (this was the America buffalo – the rise of America), and he spake as a dragon.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (This nation of America would unite with the Catholic Church in a marriage union (Ahab and Jezebel) and force by political power the will of the church)
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, (Atom bombs – Hiroshima and Nagasaki)
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (These are not natural marks like a tattoo on your head or hand, but these are spiritual marks in the heart of man to make man their headship instead of the word, and to do the will of man that is opposed to the will of God)
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six."
Now remember, it was Imperial Pagan Rome that fell by the sword. But she was healed of her death stroke when she joined to the nominal Christian church of Rome and incorporated paganism and Christianity, and thereby became the Holy Roman Empire which was to endure until Jesus came and destroyed her. But Rome is not going it alone. Her daughters are right with her and she will take over absolute authority by the World Council of Churches.
This may seem far fetched to some but actually it is very plain for all to see because right now the churches are controlling politics and at the opportune time will manifest exactly how great is that control. This ecumenical move will end up with Rome at the head even though the people did not envision it that way. This is so because in Revelation 17:3-6 it states that the whore, Mystery Babylon is seated on the beast. She is controlling the last, or fourth empire. This Roman Church is doing that. With the world church system under her Rome will be controlling, and this image (church system) will be obedient to Rome because Rome controls the gold of the world.
Thus all the people have to belong to the world church system or be at the mercy of the elements for they cannot buy or sell without the mark of the beast in the hand or head. This mark in the head means that they will have to take the doctrine of the world church system which is trinitarianism, etc., and the mark in the hand which means to do the will of the world church. With this great power the church systems will persecute the true bride. This image will try to keep the bride from preaching and teaching, etc. Her ministers will be forbidden to give comfort and truth to the people who need it. But before the antichrist (in person) takes over this complete world system of churches the true church will be taken away from this world to be with the Lord. God will catch away His bride for the great Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
So that shows us that this covid thing has nothing to do with receiving the mark of the beast – the mark of the beast is the spirit of denomination which is the spirit of the Nicolaitanes to conquer the people which is simply to receive the headship of man as opposed to the headship of the revelation of the word.
***Millions upon millions have already taken the mark of the beast right now – it is not something that is in the future, it has been taking place for many many years.

62 Now, somebody said, "Now, there's going to be a--a mark of the beast, it's going to come some day." Let me tell you. It's already come. See? As soon as the Holy Ghost begin to fall, the mark of the beast begin to take place. See?
63 You only have two things. One of them, is, accept It, takes the Seal of God. To reject It, takes the mark of the beast. To reject the Seal of God is to take the mark of the beast. Everybody understand? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] To reject the Seal of God is to take the mark of the beast. For, the Bible said, "All that was not sealed by the Seal of God took the mark of the beast."
64 When the trumpet sounded, and all wanted to go free could go. Them that didn't, was marked.
Now, you see, the mark of the beast, if we talk about it in the future, is when it's going to be made manifest, when you realize it's what you've already done. See?
I CORINTHIANS 15:54
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
So the book of Esther is about a people of God that are all delivered from certain death by a young virgin woman that by the choosing of a bride comes into a marriage union, and then by the ministry of Mordecai as reiterated to her through Hatach the chamberlain, she comes into a spoken word power of up to half the kingdom – a power that can bring life back to a death sentenced people.
