Mordecai
and the Jews in Shushan were sentenced to death with the irreversible laws of the
kingdom and therefore could not appeal against the sentence. Yet within that
seemingly concluded blockade, God in His infinite mercies, power and love for
His own created divine exit doors out of the death sentence. Haman who
requested for and paid for the death sentence against the Jews died on the
gallows he had prepared to hang Mordecai on. The Jews got another decree signed
which empowered them to arm and defend themselves. The people that had planned
to kill the supposedly defenseless Jews for fun became afraid of the armed Jews
who had received royal authorization to fight back their attackers. Please read
the entire book of Esther for details.
The
people of Jericho barricaded their gates against the Israelites. Without
recourse to the use of explosives which bring down fortified brick and mortar, God
created divine exit doors for His people. Please see Joshua Chapter 6 for
details.
The
satraps thought they had Daniel silenced forever when he was thrown into the
den of lions. But God created a protective wall of fire for Daniel by shutting
the mouths of the lions. After Daniel was released and the satraps as well as
members of their families were thrown into the den of lions, the lions had a
feast of human flesh. Please see Daniel Chapter 6 for details. Additionally,
the King opted to serve Daniel’s God and made a proclamation that made it
mandatory for everyone to serve Daniel’s God.
Shedrach,
Meshach and Abednego refused to bow down to Nebuchadnezzar’s image.
Consequently, they were thrown into the fiery furnace of fire. But God
intervened and the fire had no effect on them. Upon their release, Nebuchadnezzar
publicly proclaimed the worship of Jehovah God in Babylon.
