Esther 6:2
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
Esther 6:2 belongs to the account in Esther 3-9 of Haman's attempt under King Ahasuerus in the Medo-Persian Empire to destroy all God's people. Medo-Persia was the second head of the Satan-controlled beast system of church-state government, succeeding Babylon, and through Haman Satan sought to destroy the church, the woman through whom the Man-child should come, and cut off the coming of Christ, but God frustrated his purpose. The verse records that Mordecai had exposed a plot by two of the king's chamberlains, the royal doorkeepers and keepers of the door, to lay hand on, kill, and assassinate King Ahasuerus, thereby saving the king's life. Mordecai's warning and loyal act was written down and preserved in the royal chronicles, the Persian king's book of remembrance, illustrating the use of such written records among human rulers.
The forgotten report was providentially selected to be read to the king on the night he could not sleep, being brought to remembrance at the right and decisive moment. The discovery of the record set in motion Mordecai's public honor for his earlier faithfulness and service, and became pivotal in helping prepare the way for and bring about the deliverance of Mordecai and the Jews. The king's chronicles thus revealed Mordecai's earlier faithfulness in saving the king's life, and that record, brought to the king's attention during the night, led to Mordecai's honor.
The sequence displays God's direct working and not mere chance, with his providence working through circumstances that appeared hopeless as a providential answer to the faith of his people. God never forgets his people, and the bringing of the written record to remembrance proves that his love, his care, and his providence are ever the same. Mordecai's act in telling of the danger was faithfulness and faith responding to God's warning.
