Do you relate to VASHTI or ESTHER? … Part 2

 

REVELATION-WINE OF THE KINGDOM

(Esther 1:5-8, & 12) Given wine in gold cups according to the hand of the King (Hb).

The last part of this great feast was for the people who were present (Hb.found) in the King’s palace --- close to the King where delightful surroundings which included beds (divans) upon which they could REST.  At this time they could enter into REST where they have ceased from their own works. The King’s special blessing was to give each ROYAL WINE IN ABUNDANCE… of course, in gold containers. "Royal wine" is better translated as WINE OF THE KINGDOM. No one was forced to drink what was offered by the king.. ‘WINE’ represents revelation and insight into the will of the King which is not stale old bible study paraphrasings!

The senior servant-ministries would see that these instructions were lovingly carried out.

The King loved Vashti and wanted her too to share in the celebration …. but, Oh dear! The ‘Vashti people’ (of today!) still refuse to come, being unable to submit to the King’s wishes because of their own thinking and persuasion blocking  their ability to hear anything new!!! [remember a ‘new’ word is a ‘now’ word]. She was very satisfied with what she had (from yesteryear) and to where she had come...Search me O God and see if there be any wicked way in me! like stubbornness in refusing to come when He calls (Psalm 139:24). The King had St. Paul write letters and they were sent throughout the land so that none had any excuse of not knowing what was afoot. God had ‘a plan’ which placed a special destiny on certain chosen vessels, for our Father is never taken by surprise and has never had a ’plan B’. God’s mark was upon Esther and she was about to discover that. Have you discovered your special destiny in His plan? … Well, have you?           t.b.c.
