Twice Mordecai warned the king about destructive and malicious leaders, and twice he was rewarded for it. He reaped the benefits of his sound advice and thereby showed that he was a leader the king could trust. He also shows that leaders can be especially successful when higher-level leaders allow it.

Steps lead between two gate pillars to a golden light beneath two signals – like Mordecai, who warned twice and was rewarded.

The turning point in favor of the Jews
