Apostles to the Market Place #3

“Behold I have given the house of Haman to Esther, and him they have hanged on the gallows because he has stretched his hands against the Jews” Esther 8:7

This particular company of Apostles and Prophets to the Market Place are directly connected with the salvation and deliverance of Israel. The Esther Company is a group of people that have been called into the Kingdom for such a time as this to do a peculiar job; to defeat the House of Haman, Amalek or the Spirit of Anti Semitism! Those that are called into this company have had to do some things that are peculiar and totally unconventional in order to be placed in the right positions of favor and authority to touch governments for Israel’s sake.

Let us take a closer look on the life of Hadassah who is later called Queen Esther:

1. She is an orphan being raised by a relative named Mordechai: “He was bringing up Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she had no father nor mother” Esther 2:7

2. She is beautiful: “Now the young lady was beautiful in form and face” Esther 2:7b

3. She did not choose her position; She is taken forcefully into the harem of the king: “So it came about when the command and decree of the king was heard and many young ladies were gathered to the citadel of Susa into the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken to the king’s palace into the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women” Esther 2:8

4. She finds favor with authorities right away! “Now the young lady pleased him and found favour with him. So he quickly provided her with cosmetics and foods, gave her seven choice maids from the king’s palace and transferred her and her maids to the best place in the harem” Esther 2:9

5. She is discreet, like a spy! “Esther did not make known her people or her people for Mordecai had instructed her…” Esther 2:10

6. She goes through purification and beautification to get ready for the job. “Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women--for the days of their beautification were completed as follows: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women-“ Esther 2:12

7. She trusts authority and takes their council. “Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai who had taken her as his daughter, came to go in to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the women, advised. And Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.” Esther 2:15

8. She has favor with the highest authorities more than others! “The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.” Esther 2:17

So far so good, we see that Esther is Sent Out to the government of Persia and is positioned in authority next to the king, the highest authority, without her choice. She did not choose this job, this job chose her! Of course once she realized it, she needed to yield to her calling to become Queen but what did it really entail to answer it?

Esther is separated from her loved ones
She is separated from all her Jewish People
She is marrying a heathen king, an uncircumcised Gentile!
She is now being dressed as a Persian (pagan clothing!)
She has to hide her identity
She needs to learn new and alien customs
She needs to stay faithful to YHVH and holy in the midst of paganism
She is misunderstood by her own people in whose eyes she looks like a traitor

She reminds us of another amazing woman; Miryam the mother of Y’shua, who was willing to do something totally out of the ordinary and risk being misunderstood and ostracized! As with Hadassah, Miryam did not choose her job but rather her “job” chose her! Do you feel like Queen Esther and Miryam? You have found yourself spending your life doing something you did not really choose to do? Maybe you are also misunderstood? I have good news for you! This story has a happy ending!

Meanwhile as time goes by, and the thrill of the luscious wedding and the first night with the King of Persia wanes, Esther found herself in a “Royal Prison”, that is the women’s harem. She feels forgotten and wasted. It is during this time that she has battles with her own emotions of alienation, abandonment and low self esteem. What is she doing this for? What is she worth if the king does not even want her and does not call her? A feeling of “being wasted” comes upon her. Herself confidence is lost as well as her freedom. When her relative Mordecai calls her to fulfill her duty to rescue the Jews from wicked Haman, she is too wrapped up in self pity, fear and low self esteem to display her usual qualities of prompt obedience. She resorts to something she has never used before: Excuses of why she cannot answer the call and do the job; in other words she believes she does not qualify!

“Then Esther spoke to Hathach and ordered him to reply to Mordecai: "All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court who is not summoned he has but one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days." Esther 4:10,11

It took an authoritative Mordecai to speak truth into the depressed and helpless spirit of a very disappointed Esther! “It is a matter of life and death”, he said, “you did not choose this job, this job chose you! Rise up and be counted!”

They related Esther's words to Mordecai. Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not imagine that you in the king's palace can escape any more than all the Jews. "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?" Esther 4:13,14

Being placed between the rock and the hard place causes Esther to become Queen again. She arises to fast in order to get the Power of Elohim on her and SHOWS UP in the court of the King! The rest of course is history! The king extends his favor. The Jews are delivered. Haman is hanged and Queen Esther reaps all the benefits! She will never be confined into the Harem again! Now she is co-ruling with the king who offered and gave her up to ½ his Kingdom. She truly attains royalty, authority and influence! She ends her life in great fulfillment!
“The king took off his signet ring which he had taken away from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. So King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, "Behold, I have given the house of Haman to Esther, and him they have hanged on the gallows because he had stretched out his hands against the Jews.Esther 8:2,7

Instead of destruction and annihilation, the Jewish People receive favor through Mordecai and Esther’s intervention!

“For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and in favor with his many kinsmen, one who sought the good of his people and one who spoke for the welfare of his whole nation” Esther 10:3

Today like never before YHVH has been preparing an Esther Company that will “inherit the House of Haman” and defeat the Spirit

of Anti Semitism. There is again a wicked plan of satan through Islam and the “Palestinian Cause” to destroy the Jewish People. In the same way that the king believed the lies of Haman, so have the kings of the earth believed the “Palestinian lies” through Fatah, PLO and Hamas. The establishing of a Palestinian State in the Holy Land and the dividing of Jerusalem and uprooting of the Jewish Settlements of Judea and Samaria is part of a demonic plan started at the time of Hitler, when the then Moslem leader (Mufti) of Jerusalem Haj Ammin el Husseini sent Arab troops to be trained by Hitler to continue the liquidation of the Jews in the then called Palestine. There was no Palestinian Nation then, only separate Arab (and some Jewish) villages with no central government, they belonged to different streams and even nations. The plan of the Mufti of Jerusalem was passed on to Yasser Arafat and Yasser passed it on to Abu Mazen. The whole plan was to establish a Palestinian State as a “Trojan Horse” to finish the “job” that Hitler left unfinished.

USA President Bush is like the King of Persia, he has been deceived to believe that dividing Israel is right and the right way for peace. I have no doubt that YHVH has placed some Esther’s (men and woman) near George Bush and I pray that this article will reach them and that just like Esther did, they will fast and go into the President UNCALLED!
