Esther is a Jewess Queen in a Persian Empire. We begin our study of Esther with an explanation regarding the transition from the Babylonian captivity to the Medes and the Persian reign.
This exegesis is a lesson of pride vs. humility. It’s the selfish pride of the prior queen, Vashti, that positions Esther to ascend to a place of honor, all because she refused to obey authority.
Overlooked Kingdom Protocols
Kingdom protocols hinder humanity’s reconciliation with God.
It’s good to know that we have a friend in Jesus, but it behooves us to remember who He Is and His position in the Kingdom. His title as Prince identifies Him as the Son of the KING. When Jesus says in John 10:30, “I and my Father are one” and John 14:9, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” He is not only speaking of the oneness of their identity but more importantly He is referring to His Authority. The same Authority that the Father has He possesses, it isn’t a separate authority but the same Authority, and to solidify this He said, “No man cometh unto the Father, But By Me.” (John 14:6).
His Authority was evident during His ministry.
Prior to Esther’s reign, Queen Vashti was banished for refusing to acknowledge the king’s authority, when Haman was promoted in the court, his pride led him to demand admiration, forgetting that humility lies at the door when he was ordered to celebrate the man Mordecai who refused to bow to him.
Kingdom protocol protects the kingdom and the sovereign who reigns.
“Pride goeth before destruction,
And an Haughty Spirit before a fall.”
Proverbs 16:18
Now to bow before a legitimate KING is a deep sign of respect not to the person but to the office they represent. However, in the case of Jesus, because He Is KING of Kings, bowing before Him is not only a sign of respect for who He Is but what He Represents (The KINGDOM OF GOD).
