And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.(Esther 6:12)

And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.(Esther 6:13)

And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.(Esther 6:14)

So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.(Esther 7:2)

Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:(Esther 7:3)

For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.(Esther 7:4)

An Esther cannot be neutral
Dr. Roberto Miranda speaks about the book of Esther and encourages the church to be prophetic and not neutral in defending the values of the Kingdom of God. He sees every member of the church as an instrument for the preservation of life and urges them to live intentionally. The author cites the example of a couple from the church in Colombia who decided to get married after living together for many years, as an example of people whose lives have been transformed and who are witnessing to their unconverted family about Jesus Christ.
