Haman (Lucifer/spiritual Babylon) wants to kill the Jews (saints) because they won't bow down to him. And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed,
and reverenced Haman: ... But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence. -*- And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Esther 3:2/Revelation 13:15
