In the 3rd Chapter of Esther we are introduced to Haman--one of the most powerful princes in King Achashverosh's kingdom. When Mordecai, Esther's guardian and cousin, failed to show Haman the homage befitting of a man of Haman's stature in the kingdom, Haman developed a plot to exterminate every Jew in the known world. Haman's bitterness towards Mordecai and his plot against every living Jew, foreshadowed for us the spirit of anti-Christ that has existed throughout time and even today.
