(Dn. 6:7,24)
 From the second banquet, however, he departed as a vile criminal to be hanged on a gallows which he had erected for another. From glory he is expelled into the abyss of dishonor and shame and into death. We find this repeatedly in the ways of God. He allows man in his pride and spirit of independence to lift himself higher and higher, excluding God, glorying in his own works of ingenuity and of his hands. Then God sends the breath of His mouth, and all the great designs of man are reversed in a moment. Such were the impious builders of the tower of Babel (Gen. 11:4)... (Dan. 4:28-33)....(Jer. 50 & 51; Isa. 47)....(Rev. 18:2,10. ). (Chapter 4: The Great Adversary by H.L. Rossier)
 "Behold," says the Psalmist, "he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood." What a picture, true of Haman and of him who in the last days persecutes Israel! (Rev. 12:13-17!)... Psa. 7:14-16. (Chapter 4: The Great Adversary by H.L. Rossier)
 "Harbonah, one of the chamberlains," who once bowed to the Amalekite when Mordecai did not, a true "courtier," who may have been one of those who accused Mordecai of non-compliance to Haman. Now he sees his opportunity to curry favor with the king and the up-coming favorite. (Chapter 4: The Great Adversary by H.L. Rossier)
