There is a prophecy in Esther 9:6 that was fulfilled not only once but twice.

This scripture of 9:6 talks about the 10 sons of Haman that were hung. You'll remember that Haman was an enemy of the Jews and had been plotting to have all Jews hung. He had gotten the king to even sign a decree that would legalize the hanging of all enemies of the kingdom. Esther found out about the plot from her cousin Mordecai, went to her husband, the king, and revealed to him what wicked Haman had planned for her own people. She revealed to the King that she, herself, was a Jewess and her people were not his enemies. Because of her devotion to him and to her people, though the King was unable to undo his earlier decree, he did make a new one that allowed the Jews to defend themselves, which is what they did.

The question that arose from the above reference is, why were the 10 sons shown as hanging 'twice' when, in reality, they hung only once? Was there another hanging being pictured here?

What was noted is that the names of three of his sons were listed in letters half the size of the others in the scripture writings. They are: TAHV, SHIN, ZAYIN.

These three letters spell 21 Tishri, which is the exact year and date in October 16, 1946 when 11 Nazis were found guilty in Nurnberg of their crimes of exterminating the Jews during WWII. One Nazi, Goring, committed suicide and thus TEN were hung.

There is additional information regarding this time period of World War II. The Bible teaches that in the setting of the latter times, when God prepares Israel to return to the land, that three world leaders would die in one month.

We read in Zechariah 11:8 that three world leaders would be "cut off in one month": as a sign. Between April 14 and April 28, 1943, three of the main leaders of nations in WWII died: Roosevelt, Hitler and Mussolini. They died, not only in one calendar month, but also in one Jewish month.

The number Ten reminds us of the Ten Kings that will be given power with the A/C for One Hour. That will be WWIII. Since their objective is to destroy God's people, you can be very sure that God has His Judgment all planned for them also.

The Book of Esther is a fascinating read about a fascinating Jewess who had courage to fulfill her place in God's plan. She didn't look for some "Escape Hatch" but ran her race just like we are all called upon to do the same.

Until the Resurrection of the Dead and the Calling Up of the Living, I Thess. 4:16-17. let us try our best to have Godly Courage.
