The two Sons of Benjamin

Sunday, July 17, 2022

In the Book of Esther, Mordecai and Esther overcame Haman's plot to destroy the Jewish people. King Saul was told to destroy King Agag and his house. Saul didn't and lost the kingdom. Prophet Samuel fulfilled what Saul left unfinished. Somehow, one of Agag's sons escaped. In Esther, Haman - the AGAGITE - descendant of Agag, rose to power. Because Saul failed to end the house of Agag, the house of Agag would rise and set out to destroy the entire Jewish people in Persia. Esther and Mordecai, from the Tribe of Benjamin, the tribe Saul was from, rose to fulfill the calling that Saul never did. It was the second showdown of Benjamin and Agag. The odds were stacked against Benjamin. Yet Agag was defeated. By failing to fulfill his calling Saul lost the crown. By obeying the calling, Mordecai was given a crown. God has a calling on your life. Others can do the job if you won't, but you'll forfeit the purpose of your life. Take the step you need to take - you'll receive your crown and Agag will be defeated under your feet.
