And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai as one step in their exchange of messages about the danger and crisis facing the Jews. Mordecai had told Hatach about the decree issued against the Jews and urged that Esther be asked to go to the king and plead for her people. That exchange belongs to Haman's plot to destroy all the Jewish people, the people of God, under Medo-Persian rule. The plot occurred in the reign of Ahasuerus, when Medo-Persia stood as the second head of the Satan-controlled beast system of church-and-state government. The attempted destruction was Satan's thought worked through Haman against God's people, the woman through whom the promised Man-child was to come, but God frustrated his purpose and defeated the plot. Mordecai's prayer in this account is joined to Haman's death and to Israel's deliverance.
