There is only one week left until we begin reading our final book... Revelation. We are going to be doing something different with Revelation, similar to what we did with the Gospel of Mark. Starting next Thursday we are inviting everyone to join us as we read Revelation and to join in the discussion. Here is what we'll be doing specifically for Revelation:
- We will be reading a little less each day (approximately 3 chapters a day)
- I will post insights and questions related to the reading each day here on the blog
- We will also use this blog as a place for you to write in with your questions
- I will be handing out the entire reading schedule with a study guide next week at our High School FUEL Bible Study, so be sure to get that if possible.

Hey, Pastor Curtis, didn't it say that the sons of Haman were killed in the battle against the Jews? Why then does it say the were hanged?

Hey Robbie,
Three possible theories for your question:
1) The way they were killed was by being hanged. This means that 9:14 doesn't take place after 9:10, but further explains what happened in 9:10.
2) It could also mean that the sons of Haman were captured and sentenced to death, but not executed until the next day.
3) The Jews hanged their dead bodies to make an example out of them.
I tend to go with the second theory. This is because on the day they would have been captured, Esther asked the king for one more day to capture their enemies and to be able to bring them to justice... particularly Haman's family. Does this help?
