Esther 5 King James Version (KJV)
5 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her ROYAL APPAREL, and stood in the INNER COURT of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she OBTAINED FAVOR in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

3 Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? IT SHALL BE GIVEN THEE to the half of the kingdom.

4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.

5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

6 And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

7 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;

8 If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.

Wednesday, He was showing me castles and cobalt blue, for any who are interested in symbolism.

"The purpose of the 3rd day church is to release the brothers and send them back to the Father."--we are the bride, adorned with the coat of many colors. We have been given authority over Egypt and its inhabitants. We must arise, take ownership of our position, and engage. Even if we don't yet know how. This is what is heavy on my spirit. I am nothing, a nobody from a little town in Louisiana. But for some reason, The Lord of Hosts is giving me information that seems urgent. We have the power to make walls fall down. We have the power to unite in corporate worship in the Spirit wherever we are, even in our own homes. We can worship in Spirit and in Truth, simultaneously, and make ripples in heaven that reverberate back down to earth in such a way that substance is formed out of thin air. Seek hard, friends. He is moving us to do a mighty work.

John came neither eating nor drinking. He was a separatist. He was from the desert and lived a strict, bare life, being highly disciplined. He did not associate with people or make friends. He just isolated himself and cut himself off from everyone. He withdrew from society. His message was a gospel of repentance and separation from the things of the world. Therefore, he was accused of having a devil, that is, of being mad and insane for choosing to live that way.

In keeping with the prophecies. . . . .Jesus came into the picture. . . .he hung out with some people. . . . they did not like that approach either. . . . .and they accused Jesus of worldliness.

Jesus was the very opposite of John. Jesus lived and preached a gospel of liberty. He ate and associated with the people and shared in their social affairs. He moved among all sorts of people, mixing and making Himself accessible to all no matter how terrible they were thought to be.

Because he hung around with sinful people, He was accused of being a sinner Himself: The talked about Jesus…called him . . . .a glutton, a winebibber, and an immoral friend of the lowest of the low. (It must be remembered that when Jesus moved about in the social areas of society it was for the purpose of witnessing to them, not to be a part of the worldly fellowship.)

Matthew 11:15-19 (NRSV) 15 Let anyone with ears listen! 16 "But to what will I compare this generation?

The childish generation justifies its inconsistencies. John lived and preached a gospel of repentance and separation. Jesus lived and preached a gospel of liberty.

The people were like children: they found fault with both and accepted neither.

Point 2: When you read these passages of scripture- you will see that Jesus speaks on two approaches to righteousness: the separatist approach of John, and the sociable approach of Jesus. The majority of people reject both approaches. They are as children at play, fault-finders who cannot be pleased.

We still have all kinds of children that Jesus is trying to get a message to. . . . .

a) Some are playful. They are having a good time and do not want to be interrupted and bothered. To those at play the Gospel and the Gospel Message are an intrusion. They want to go on doing their own thing.

b) Some children continue to play on mindless and thoughtless. They do not think about the reason and logic behind God's glorious plan in the Messiah. They refuse to face the reality of truth: the evil, sin, and depravity of the world and the existence of a personal God and the desperate need for Him to save the world.

We still have all kinds of children that Jesus is trying to get a message to. . . . .

c) Some are contrary. Their minds are made up. They are not going to listen to any other view. They have their own thoughts about the world and morality, and they are comfortable living as they wish. Therefore, they stubbornly reject any other view, no matter how much life changing, eternity affecting wisdom the other view presented.

Think on John. . . .Think on Jesus. . . .God clearly used both approaches to righteousness. Jesus did not condemn John's approach, and John did not condemn Jesus' approach. They supported each other.

Separate and Social - What a lesson for believers!

There is no room for a judgmental spirit.

Men have different temperaments and need to be approached by different methods!

Point 3: Matthew 11:15-19 (NRSV) 15 Let anyone with ears listen! 16 "But to what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another, 17 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.' 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon'; 19 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."

Jesus condemned the attitude of his generation. No matter what he said or did, they took the opposite view. They were cynical and skeptical because he challenged their comfortable, secure, and self-centered lives.

Too often we justify our inconsistencies because listening to God may require us to change the way we live.

"On the eight day shall be a solemn assembly for you." [29:35]

The word atzeret is a term describing the Knesset Yisrael, the spiritual concept known as 'Israel." Were it not for the concept represented by the Jewish people, the whole universe would lack meaning and purpose. It is also an expression denoting malchut, authority, dominion. For the above-mentioned reasons Shemini Atzeret is a festival all by itself. Among the four species, it corresponds to the etrog which represents the Jewish people and which is held separately, in a different hand than the other three. The Shemini Atzeret festival is related to the festival of the giving of the Torah, meaning the festival of Shavuot, which the Talmud always refers to as atzeret. We find the name atzeret also applied by the Torah to the Seventh day of Passover (Deut. 16:6), although that day is an integral part of the festival. Thus, the term appears in connection with all three pilgrimage holidays.
What does all this mean? Just as the word Shabbat is applied by the Torah to the various festivals on various occasions to show that the Knesset Yisrael is the "bride" of the Shabbat, so the word atzeret when used in connection with the festival conveys the idea that the Jewish people, spiritually speaking, are the purpose of all these festivals. In kabbalistic terms, they are the yesod [borrowed from the emanation by that name], the "foundation," without which the entire legislation of the festivals would lack meaning.

I feel like I finally found my home and my people who understand this world and our Lord as I understand Him. I just wanted to introduce myself. I have a fire to share my testimony!!! It's been painful but worth every second of it as it glorifies His beauty and His special care of me to keep me going and fighting no matter what is thrown in my path. If I can help someone else to encourage them that there is always hope and He will always provide you with an answer or a solution If we ask him, and of course in His perfect time. Would love to connect and share what miracles I have witnessed with anyone wanting to hear. God bless you all!!
