The Villainous Rise of Haman (Esther 3)

In this episode of the Following Jesus podcast, we’re looking at the story of one of the most evil people in the Bible. That person is Haman, and he’s the main villain of the story of Esther. He was a powerful man in the Persian empire who tried to kill all the Jews in the kingdom. We’re going to look at his controversial rise to power, why he hated Mordecai, and the seemingly inevitable genocide of the Jewish people. Hey!
