Introduction

In February of 2022, I wrote that a great turnaround, a divine reversal, pictured by the story of Esther and the Feast of Purim, was coming to our nation. I reshared some of that post yesterday. Six months after I released it, Jane Hamon, a seasoned prophet and teacher, shared in a GH15 post that she had heard something very similar, also from Esther. In light of what is occurring in Iran, her words from 2022 are very timely today. The title of the post is: 

The Tables Were Turned

Jane shares:

I awakened from a dream and heard the spirit of the Lord say, “Tell the body of Christ that it’s time for the hanging of Haman’s ten sons.” I got up and wrote it down. I knew the biblical context, but really had no idea what it fully meant for today, only that it was a time of demarcation in the body of Christ. 

This statement comes from the book of Esther, at a time when God was releasing judgment and justice in Persia. A wicked leader in the Persian empire,  Haman, had falsely accused the Jewish people of insurrection. As a result, he was allowed to write an evil decree of death and destruction against the Jews (Esther 3:8-9). This decree designated a specific day on which all Jews were to be killed and their property taken (verse 13). 

The demonic “prince of Persia,” mentioned in Daniel 10:13-20, was no doubt motivating Haman. Never forget that violence implemented by rogue nations throughout the world is demonically orchestrated. And God uses other nations to judge and stop these actions. 

In Esther, God reversed satan’s plans through a series of sovereign, supernatural events, including favor being given to a Jew named Mordecai and the elevation of his cousin Esther as queen. The victory still required risk and selflessness on Esther’s part, however, as she went before the king uninvited. Her bravery can be seen in her words, “If I perish, I perish” (4:16). But the king granted her favor, and Haman’s lies and plot were exposed, including the fact that he was plotting against the queen herself. The king ordered Haman’s death, sentencing him to be hanged on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai! I believe that we’re in a season right now where God is giving the enemy enough rope to hang himself. 

These events in the book of Esther speak to the modern-day church. God’s people are rising up to answer the call, just as Esther did. They picture a church awakening, realizing that we've come to the Kingdom for such a time as this (Esther 4:14). We are learning that we can go before the throne of the King and have His scepter of favor extended to us, enabling us to release decrees that actually shift a nation. This is producing an overturning of demonic decrees and evil plans that satan has set in motion.

We’re told in Esther 9:24 that satan, through Haman, was trying to generate panic among the Jews. “Haman, son of Hamadatha the Agagite, the archenemy of all the Jews, had schemed to destroy all Jews. He cast the lot to throw them into panic and destroy them.” Fear and panic combat our faith and keep us from taking righteous action. Do not panic! God is up to something. Don’t freak out - God is up to something. He hears our prayers. He hears the decrees. God’s ear is not deaf, and His arm is not too short to save. When Haman tried to throw God’s people into panic and destroy them, God caused the evil scheme to boomerang back on him!

Purim, the holiday born of these events, is also called the holiday of reversals. About seven years ago, in 2015, the Lord started speaking to me about a season of divine reversals. I believe we are in a season of seeing reversals that God actually set in motion several years ago. 

And He is by no means finished. Even though Haman had been exposed and hanged on the gallows in chapter 7, there was still a problem: the evil decree against the Jews was still on the books. Esther went before the king to inform him that the decree still needed to be reversed. 

The king’s response to Esther was: “I give you the authority to write a new decree! Write it in my name, and I’ll seal it with my signet ring.” (My paraphrase) Persian law said that whatever was decreed in the king’s name could not be revoked by another. That is such a great picture of King Jesus and the authority He has given the church! “Write a decree in My name, and I’ll seal it with My signet ring” (See Matthew 16:18-19).

Esther called cousin Mordecai, and together they wrote a decree, as the king had instructed. The decree authorized the people of God to fight back against all the works of darkness launched against them, and was dispersed throughout the land. Esther 8:17 shares the result: “In each and every province and each and every city, wherever the king’s command and his decree arrived, the Jews celebrated with joy and gladness.”

The Jews held a holiday feast celebrating these reversals, and Purim was born. 

Another amazing result of the turnaround in the book of Esther was that, “Many of the people in that land became Jews, for the fear of the Jews and their God had fallen upon them” (Esther 8:17). That is revival! Just the day before, the Jews were in fear of being killed. Now, not only did the people of the land no longer want to kill them, but they wanted to become one of them! That’s amazing! What an incredible turnaround. 

But God’s great turnaround STILL wasn’t over. Chapter 9 tells us that the ten wicked sons of Haman were killed, hanged on the gallows he had built for Mordecai, just as Haman himself had been. Verse one summarizes the outcome, “This was the very day that the enemies of the Jews had planned to overpower them, but the tables were now turned: the Jews overpowered those who hated them!” (The Message). The reversal was so profound that all the officials in all the provinces, the chief rulers, the governors, and all who attended to the king’s business - the entire government - turned and supported the Jews in defeating their enemies. The fear of the Lord, and of Mordecai, had fallen on them. The demonic prince of Persia fell, and the Prince of Peace arose. 

I believe we are going to see the fear of the Lord come upon our land, including on government leaders. We will see miraculous reversals in the coming days. Blinders will come off people’s eyes, and they will say, ”We need to be on God’s side…on the side of saving a nation…on the side of revival…on the side of turnaround.”

Many in the church have been warring spiritually, contending, praying, and decreeing. But these actions are the means, not the end. The goal isn’t just to war spiritually. The goal is to see the answer: awakening, revival, souls saved, the great harvest. 

The gospel message, from start to finish, is a message of reversal, of seeing curses turned into blessings, of breaking strongholds and bondages. The thief wants to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we are breaking his influence off a people, and off our land. 

Pray with me:

Father, thank You for bringing to my remembrance what You said in 2022. Thank You for this word You gave Jane Haman, encouraging us that great turnarounds were in the works. And thank You for orchestrating current events in the Middle East to take place during Purim, confirming to us that You are involved. The turnaround in the Middle East is not just for Israel and America; it’s also for the Iranian people. 

We ask You to continue orchestrating the reversal of evil decrees and the liberation of people from demonic oppression. Most of all, we ask that what is occurring in the Middle East be used to open the hearts of millions to Yeshua. We decree, with King Jesus’ authority, that the prince of Persia’s hold over Iran and the Middle East is broken. We prophesy to the winds of heaven, as Ezekiel was also told to do, telling them to blow upon the dry bones of the Middle East. Breathe upon them and give them life. Shower the Middle East with your incredible love and grace. In Yeshua’s name we pray, amen. 

Our decree:

We decree that Haman’s plans are failing, and the purposes of God are being fulfilled in the Middle East.
