"And Haman told them of the glory of his riches… and he caused the gallows to be made" (Esther 5:11,14). "Into Thine hand I commit My spirit… My times are in Thy hand… Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD" (Psalm 31:5,15,24). "The prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil" (Proverbs 1:32,33). "The Son of man came… to give His life a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28).
When Haman
boasted of his glory
And caused the
gallows to be made,
He typified the Gospel's
story
Of Satan's great
defeat portrayed.
The glory of the
gallows planned
Was seen when
Haman suffered loss,
For here we see Christ's
sovereign hand
Foreshow the glory
of His cross.
How fleeting is
prosperity
In which the
fool shall be content,
Who shall regret
eternally
His proud
refusal to repent!
The glory of the
gallows, Lord,
Was seen when Haman
was defeated,
Yet in Your cross
we have explored
Our ransom in
Your work completed!
