Esther Chapter 1 Discussion Page 3

Esther is a roll model for all women she was a prayerful woman and was why she found favour in the sight of the king and the jewish people were set free from the distruction planned by Haman

To throw a party for such high-profiled personalities and rule over a large province suggested that King Ahassareus was a great and blessed man.

Esther was a chosen vessel and God does as He pleases, what God does He does in love and brings about great victories, No questions asked. off course the human mind can't comprehend the ways of the lord.

A true and interesting book that teaches nothing but the truth

I'd like to know where Jeff, whose comment was on 7/29/13, determined that Queen Vashti had to parade in front of the King's court naked. There is nothing that I can find in history that states the queen had to expose herself in such a depraved manner. If she was beautiful to behold, then her royal attire would have enhanced her beauty. The Bible was never meant to be read as porn. It's God's word. We read it, learn from God's teachings, draw from it to grow in God's purpose for our life, comforted in times of need and sustained spiritually by feasting on His word. I don't agree with Jeff AT ALL about how the queen was to present herself.

Queen Va****i was a victim of a selfish indulgent king who lost his dignity when he requested her to be viewed upon naked. However God allowed this cir***stance to bring a blessing of deliverance to Esthers tribe. God allows bad things to turn into good.

virteous

The King who was in power and ruled many did not realized the responsibilities that comes with it. So when in over indulging orders Vashti to come before them in their drunkeness, she didn't give honor to her King. The King was not ruling with honor. God knew him and was going to use Esther who loved and honored God.

I love esther because she was real. God sent to her people at the right time.

Esther's bravery, obedience, and morals are commendable. As for king Ahasuerus, a spineless, immoral, drunk, swayed by drunken princes to divorce his wife, Vashti, without just cause, --she refused to strut her body before drunken, lustful men without morals; --he signs a decree into law that affects the entire nation without thinking matters through. Let us be cautious for it will be repeated in our time, by unscrupulous leaders/politicians.

I am in agreement with Margire, that God has a reason for everything that happens. Esther was truly chosen for such a time as that, Mary was chosen at the right time to bring our savior into the world!

It is a brief history of Queen Ester.

Esther was a God fearing woman that’s why she was honored and was obedient.

A woman of wisdom confident and courageous. Honorable and loyal to her people, understand the power of seeking God’s face with confident expectation that he would deliver a female. Daniel

If the king had submitted himself to God his subject, queen Vashti, would have done same. So husband, master, and all occupying leadership position should learn. Esther prepared herself for God's plan, so Christians learn!

Queen Vashti has a problem with King Ahasuerus athority and as God has things planned for each of us, he has plans for Esther to fulfill Gods will because she was faithful. God has a purpose for all of His children.

God can see those things are not yet to come an prepare the escaping rout for his people, god needed to replce vashti from the king dom for ester to come to save the people of israel when the trouble come.

She was and is a picture of God the King Of all Kings and the Church That He Gives us the right to come before Him in His Son Our Lord Jesus Christ

Esther Chapter 1 is a divine arrangement God made for Esther to come in and save her people. Also Queen Vashti not obeying her husband the king who is under the influence of wine (alcohol) is heroic.

Queen Vashti should have had the king beheaded in front of his entire family while unguarded!

proverb says pride come before destruction,because of pride in vashti she thought because of her beauty anything she do nobody can query her including king,because he can't get another beautiful lady like her,she had forgotten that it is only God that has no replacement.lesson for everybody.

I believe that Esther was like David her heart was after God.

Its always good to learn the times,The king never knew that,It was too late and Esther needed the kings ears,She had no other way to express her self only by refusing to attend the kings party. The great lesson here mostly for the married lot is that let keep communication on the highest level for us to get the best results at all times.AMEN.

Queen Vashti was only standing up to the king for the sake of modesty! She should be applauded for her heroic action!!Vashti is an excellent example of Biblical femininity!

Why must Vashti run a parallel period to that of the King?

if they have had been at the same party will this have happened?

Eve was deceit when alone so married people where
and when possible should stick together.

For me the Book of Esther represents the awesome power of God moving for His chosen people. Seeing God place who he wanted, where he wanted at the time necessary to defeat those that sought to destroy his promise. Again God uses man who was created great too defeat satan who was created greater to show who is the greatest. To God be the glory. The one who holds life and death in His hand.

it is all about God's agenda, soon your own time shall come and all will look like magic

This is a very important and wealthy king.

ESTHER WAS ABOVE ALL THE WOMEN SHE OBTAINED GRACE AND FAVOUR IN IS SIGHT MORE THAN ALL THE OTHER THEN HE SET THE ROYAL CROWN UPON HER HEAD SHE WORK FOR IT AND SHE GET IT IF YOU WORK FOR PENNY YOU WILL GET THAT PENNY GOD BLESS

There is much more to Esther than meets the eye...
