ESTHER
The story of Hadassah (Esther) is an allegory about the
covenants. Yes, it is a true history, but it was recorded for us, as part
of holy scripture, to teach us about the covenants.
As the story begins, we see the King of the whole known world, calling for his
wife Vashti. The king was holding a great feast for all of his governors.
This, of course, was a political event, designed to impress his governors with
his greatness, power and wisdom. It was designed to discourage rebellion
and encourage the smooth running of his vast empire. He was trying in
every way to impress his nobles, so he called upon his wife to make an
appearance. She refused to come. Imagine the embarrassment!
The king of the world, is obviously an allegory of Christ, the King of the
world. His wife Vashti is an allegory of Israel, who refused to set the
example for all nations that she was called to. Therefore the wife was put
away and the king began searching for a better wife. One who would be a
good example to the whole kingdom. Hadassah was found! A lady who was beautiful
in character as well as appearance. A wife who would be an excellent
example to the whole world. This Hadassah was a type of Spiritual Israel,
The Church, Those Called to become the bride of Christ at the resurrection!
Hadassah won the heart of the king and saved her people, even so, the faithful
obedience and good example of the spiritual bride, will win the heart of Christ
and save mankind from utter destruction.
