It cannot cancel the first decree, but it can arm the Jews throughout every province of the empire to defend themselves on the very day appointed for their destruction.

improvising under pressure the blue and white mordecai now wears royal colors mark a man raised from sitting at the gate in sackcloth to standing at the king's right hand in the space of a single chapter the pen that signed death now signs deliverance the appointed day finally arrives The very day, Haman's original decree had marked for the destruction of every Jew in the empire.
Now in the twelfth month, that is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, Though it was turned to the contrary that the Jews had rule over them that hated them.
and here it stands fulfilled in the plainest possible language scripture could give it the month is even named for us Adar the same month whose lots per in the Hebrew the very word behind the name Purim Haman cast to select the date of destruction in the first place he chose the day by casting lots to determine his own advantage The Lord had already determined that the very day chosen for the enemy's advantage would become the day of the enemy's undoing.
Notice what happens across the wider empire in the days surrounding this reversal.
Fear falling on entire populations, moving hearts across an empire toward identification, With the people of God.
