Christ in Prophecy
Purim is so named because Haman sought guidance from a lot (we might think of a die or dice) to ascertain his course. Some ancients consulted mediums or astrologers. Modern pagans seek wisdom anywhere and with anyone but God. In Haman’s case, having decided in his heart to seek the destruction of the Jews (Esther 3:6), he allowed purim (dice) to determine the timing of his nefarious plan.
