It was much more than an ordinary case of a sleepless night. God kept the king awake.
V.2-3 The king asks someone to read the diary of his reign. In it, was the story that we noticed in the end of chapter 2. And it was found that no reward or honor had been done to Mordecai for saving the life of the king. Do you see God’s hand in this great story? Who had put the thought into the king’s head of reading in the old diary?
V.4-11 Haman is humiliated, and hated Mordecai is honored. It is true today, that in many countries Jews have been hated and persecuted and put to death; it would seem that God has not taken any notice. But the day is coming when He shall turn to His earthly people once again — after we have been taken to heaven.
