THE HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
With the
Hidden
Hands of God
the Holy
Spirit is
always at
Work in the
Life's of the
Believers!
THE HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
According to Jewish Talmudic
sequence of the Hebrews Aleph-
Beis teaches: If one carry out
what the word Kaf for {hands}
stand for, namely learning the
Torah and acting kindly, then
God, will give you, sustenance,
acceptance, good and
inheritance. Finally, Yahweh will
affix a crown upon you. There
are three types of crowns: the
crown of priesthood, the crown
of kingship, and the crown of the
Torah, but a fourth one, a crown
of a good name – and is said to
be superior to them All.
The Hebrew word for Hands is
KAF or KHAP: The word
hands is symbolic of
Crowning and
Accomplishment! The word
Hands also symbolise the
followings: to embrace and
fold, power, to tame, bend,
or subdue. The HANDS of
GOD not only symbolised
Eternity but it holds All of
Eternity in them!
THE HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
Hebrew : YAD {Torah Pointer} and it meaning:
The Torah Scroll (Sefer Torah) is one of the
most precious objects of Jewish worship. To show
respect (and to protect the scroll from dirt and oil from
the reader’s hands), a Yad or Torah pointer is normally
used while reading. Most yadim are made of beautifully
wrought silver. Note: is states that The pointing end of
the Yad is commonly shaped like a small hand with its
index finger extended. The Hands of Adonai were also
pierced for us (Psalm 22:16, John 20:27).
In the Scriptures
In the Scriptures, the word yad is
used to refer to a physical hand, but
more often it is used idiomatically to
refer to the power or the craft of a
person or group. Thus we read of
the “hand of the enemy,” “the
hand of the Philistines,” the
“hands of Moses,” and especially
the “Hand of God.”

The HAND OF GOD metaphorically
speaks of Adonai’s power. In Adonai’s Hand
are power and might (1 Chronicles 29:12). His
hand is not "shortened" that it cannot save us
(Isaiah 59:1), but is Mighty to save to the
uttermost all those WHO CALL upon Him in
humility and truth (Hebrews 7:25).
The question is: When last have you – the
Bride of Christ truly call out to Him in
Humility?
The Hidden Hands of God
Behind the Hidden Hands of God was the Blueprint for Mankind’s rescued from Hell and Eternal Death, this was accomplished through the Cross of Calvary.

Continuation of Dispensation of Grace
GRACE: John 1:16-17; Ephesians 3:1-12 and Titus 3:4
John 1:16 And of his fullness have all we received,
and grace for grace.
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Strong Greek: Grace is charis, which means
graciousness, of manner or act {literal, or
spiritual}; especially the divine influence upon the
heart, and its reflection in the life; gratitude,
acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace(- ious), joy,
liberality, thank(-s, worthy).
Strong Greek: alethes, which means true (as not
concealing): true, truly, truth.
Strong Hebrew: Christ is Christos, which means the
anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus: Christ.
Message: The Law of Instructions will always be
given by Mankind but GRACE, and TRUTH will only be
given through Jesus, the Messiah. So the Bride of
Christ must tune her/his spiritual ears always to the
Will of the FATHER.
God's GRACE has also been defined in thisway: God's Riches At Christ's Expense!
The Hidden Hands of God
and Mankind’s Blueprint from Hell
and Eternal Death, was the Cross
of Calvary.
Satan the Enemy of our Souls
had thought he Won the War but the
Empty Grave of Jesus Christ is a constant
reminder to him that he has LOST THE
WAR OVER THE SOULS OF MANKIND
FOREVER, if Mankind choose
SALAVATION IN JESUS CHRIST.
THE HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
HAND: Symbolic of all of the Fivefold
officers and their position {Ephesians
4:11}. The thumb refers to the apostle, the
pointer finger refers to the prophet, the
middle finger refers to the evangelist, the
ring finger refers to the pastor, and the
pinky/little finger refers to the teacher.
Psalm 8:3; Daniel 5:5; Exodus 8:19; Duet.
9:10; Luke 11:20 and 1 Kings 18:44.
Yahweh fivefold officers are for the complete
benefits of the Corporate Body of God.
Elijah the Prophet
Spiritually and Symbolic the word HAND is defined as: An Instrument of work,
service, and spirituality; ministry activities that fulfil the word of God. {Hosea
12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used
similitude's, by the ministry of the prophets.} Hebrew YAD: Ministry - a hand (the open one
(indicating power, means, direction, etc.) Note an open Hands are symbolic of Truth and
Hope in Yahweh. On the other hand Close Hands are symbolic of Deception and Lies.
The Narrative of Queen Esther in the Book of Esther & the Hidden Hands of God
In the NARRATIVE OF ESTHER the Almighty Hands of God was seen in operation and fully demonstration in how He rescued the Jews from the hands of Haman.
The Narrative of Queen Esther in the Book of Esther – For Such a Time as This!
Hidden
Hands
GOD
of
The Chronicles of Esther provide one of the most
poignant stories of the Bible, a saga of faith in God that
brought life out of certain death. A young Jewish girl,
Hadassah {Esther} was positioned by God in the
court of the world’s most powerful king ‘for such a
time as this’, specially for the deliverance of God’s
people from genocide. Esther’s phenomenal
bravery in risking her life for the lives of her people is
an example of how God creates circumstances and uses
faithful people to bring about the greatest of victories .
Summary of Esther - Historical Background To keep Esther’s story in perspective, time-wise these events occurred between the first returned of exiles to Jerusalem under Zerubbabel {536 B.C.) and the second return under Ezra (458 B.C.)
Summary of Esther - Historical Background
Date and place: The records of the events of Esther were no doubt
kept in the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia {2:21-23;6:1-
3:10:2} and the compilation of the facts in book form was perhaps
done in Shushan the palace, of Susa, the ancient capital of Persia
{Neh. 1:1; Esther 1:1-2:} about 516-506 BC.
Author: Ezra, the scribe.
Proof of authorship: Jewish tradition ascribes the book of Esther to
Ezra. Theologian and Latin Philosopher, Augustine of Hippo from
Roman Africa, also ascribes the book of Esther to Ezra. The Jewish
Talmud ascribes it to the Great Synagogue which, with Ezra (its founder
and president), completed the Jewish Canon of Scripture.

Summary of Esther - Historical Background
Theme: The great deliverance of the Jews from
extermination during the time of the Babylonian
captivity.
Purposes: To show by whom and how the great
deliverance of the Jews in all lands came about; to
record the institutions of the feast of Purim; and to reveal
the historical background of the liberator of the Jews from
captivity – Cyrus, the son of Esther and Darius the Mede.
Statistics: 17th book of the Bible; 10 chapters; 167
verses; 5,637 words; 11 commands; 21 questions;
one prophecy (6:13); no promises; and no distinct
message from God.
The HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
The Book of Esther
Elohim’s hand of providence and protection on behalf of His people is
evident throughout the Book of Esther, though His name does not appear
once. Haman’s plot brings grave danger to the Jews and is countered by the
courage of beautiful Esther and the counsel of her cousin Mordecai, resulting in
a great deliverance. The Jewish Feast of Purim becomes an annual
reminder of God’s faithfulness on behalf of His people.
Queen Esther’s Hebrew name was Hadassah, which means “Myrtle” {Esther
2:7}, but her Persian name Ester was derived from the Persian word for “star” (stara).
The Greek title for this book is Esther, and the Latin title is Hester.

Insight: The Hebrew word HEY/HEI is The Symbol of
Divinity, Gentility and Specificity.
The Prophet Isaiah declared: YAH HASHEM is the Rock of the Universe
{Isaiah 26:4}. In a homiletically interpretation of this verse, the Talmud explains
that God used the letters Hei, to form the Divine Name, YAH, to create the
universe. It is said, that the sound of the letter Hei, is a mere exhalation of
breath, hei, that it requires little effort, no movement of lip, tongue, or mouth. This
effortless enunciation symbolises the effortless creation of the world – as King
David in the Psalm testifies: By the word of HASHEM the heavens were
made, and by the breath of His mouth all their hosts {Psalm 33:6}.

Mysteries of Aleph
In Jewish literature, the upper YOD (meaning an
arm) represents the hidden aspect of YHVH, (ein sof -
“without end”), whereas the lower Yod represents the
revelation of YHVH to mankind. The Vav, whose
meaning is “hook,” shows connectedness between the
two spiritual realms. Vav is also thought to represent
humanity, since Adam was created on the sixth day.
Vav is diagonal since it is humbled in the face of God’s
mystery and His revelation. The two Yods also
indicate the paradox of experiencing God as both
hidden and close, far and near.

Aleph and the Divine Names
There are a number of divine Names that begin with the
letter Aleph, including the following:
- El
- Elohim
- Eloha
- ehyeh asher ehyeh
- Adonai
- Adon Olam
- Adir
Every Bride of Christ must firstly, have a holy connection to
Adonai before she/he can be called a Wife of Christ.

S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
Aleph is a picture of Oneness in Unity
Aleph also is a picture of three-in-one, or
hashilush hakadosh. Just as there are three parts
to Aleph, but Aleph is One (echad), so there are
three Persons to the Godhead, yet God is
absolutely One. The gematria of the word Aleph
is 111 (Aleph=1, Lamed=30, and Pey=80).
The Self Existent God is first a Spirit, Son is a Spirit
came from the Father and the Holy Spirit, dwells in
Father/Son and here we have the complete
Godhead. Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the
fullness of the Godhead bodily.

Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1
S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
Gematria of Aleph: the numerical
value, ONE, represents the
One, Unique, and Invisible,
God. This implies belief in
absolute monotheism – that there
is but one God. He is One,
Unique , and He alone is
timeless, changeless. ‘He is
totally unique in all existence,
and hence beyond all
comparison with anything
else’ {Akeidah; Rashbam}.
God is One – Duet 6:4 declaration of Shema
According to Talmud: Tosefta
(chagigah 1:3) Oneness of God is
so fundamental that the
declaration of the Shema is the
first verse a child is taught at his
mother’s knee and it is the last
thing a Jew utters with his final
breath before departing from this
world.

S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
Insight: The Hebrew word
is The Symbol of Dimensions and
Concerns.
The fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is
called "Dalet" (pronounced "dah-let") and
has the sound of "d" as in "door." The letter
Dalet is the fourth letter of the Aleph-Bet, having the
numeric value of four. The bent shape of the dalet
symbolizes a needy person who is bent over (the word Dalet
comes from (dalah) which means to draw out or impoverish,
and the word (dalut) means poor or impoverished).

Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1
S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
Dalet and the Pardes
Traditional Jewish sages identify four
levels of interpretation of the Scriptures,
called (pardes), an acronym formed
from:
P'shat (literal meaning based on
historical intent of author)
Remez (hint, allusion, analogy,
allegory)
D'rash (application, exposition)
Sod (mystery, "deep" meaning)
Indeed the word for knowledge, (da'at),
means the "door on the eye" using the
ancient letters of a writing system .
Mysteries of Dalet
Dalet represents lowliness and the
consciousness of possessing nothing of
one's own. As a door Dalet also
symbolically represents the choice to
open ourselves to the hope of our
dreams or to remain closed off and
alienated.
The corner point represents the concept of
bitul or spiritual self-nullification.
Practice of bitul leads to humility, the
doorway to God's house, which is attained
by the technique known as devekut,
cleaving or clinging to God:

Dalet is a Picture of Humanity in need of
Yeshua
The Hebrew word for religion is (dat), which
means the "door of the cross" using the ancient
writings. The Father (Aleph) sent His Son (Bet)
and by means of the Holy Spirit (Gimmel) who
makes appeal to the poor and needy to
receive the grace of the LORD God of Israel.
As Yeshua said, "Behold, I stand at the door, and
knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with me" (Revelation 3:20).
HADASSAH:

S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
The HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
Insight: The Hebrew word is The Symbol of Support, Protection
and Memory. The closed round letter, represents the idea of Divine support,
both in the active sense that God provides support to man and the passive
sense that man relies on Him.
The Meaning of Samekh
The root of the word Samekh means “to lean upon,” “to uphold,” or “to support.” The root is also found in
the Jewish concept of semikhah, the laying on of hands upon the head of a sacrificial victim in a blood
ritual of the Jewish Temple, which was also a means of consecrating the priesthood (Lev 8; Exodus 29,).
Biblical references to the root occur in Lev 16:21, Deut 34:9, Ezekiel 24:2, and elsewhere. In ancient times,
Samekh may have represented a shield. Today, the Jewish Rabbinical ordination ceremony is called a
semikhah. Then you shall bring the bull before the tent of meeting. Aaron and his sons shall lay (samakh)
their hands on the head of the bull. Exodus 29:10
HADASSAH:
Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1
S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
The HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
The Miracle of Samekh
The letter Nun, which immediately precedes the letter Samekh
in the alphabet, suggests someone who is “bent,” or someone
who humbles himself in brokenness and submission to the
LORD God. Putting these two letters together, we have the
Hebrew word nes, which means miracle.
HADASSAH:
Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1
S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
The HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
It has been said, that a person of
faith is a walking miracle! The
LORD gives support to the
fallen and broken ones who
put their trust in Him. Indeed,
this is directly illustrated in
Psalm 145, an acrostic Psalm
that begins it’s verse about
Samekh is as follows:
The LORD upholds all who are
falling and raises up all who are
bowed down.
HADASSAH:
Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1
S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
The HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
The question is which one are you?

Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1
S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
The spiritual connection to the Insight of the Hebrew Word Samekh and
the types of Saints in the Earth Realm are that Samekh symbolises and relates
to concept of Divine Support, Protection and Memory to mankind from
Elohim the Father. The two types of Saints: SAINTS OF LIGHT & SAINTS
OF DARKNESS are symbolic and relates to the two type of SPIRITUAL
KINGDOM which is now operating within the EARTH REALM at the same time.
However, because of Jesus Christ’s Supernatural Victory on the Cross of
Calvary the Saints of Light will always, overcome the Believers of
Darkness in this Earth Realm. The Truth Bride of Christ declared all Blessings
and Glory to Adonai for this assurance in HIM Amen!
Note there are Two types BELIVERS operating in the Earth Realm NOW!

Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1
S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
Revelation of the Gematria of the Hebrew Letters
The numerical value of the Hebrew word Hey is FIVE. The Jewish Talmud states
that the Number five represents: the Holy Ark with its covering cherubs; the constantly
burning heavenly fire on the Altar; the Shechinah, GOD’S PRESENCE AND GLORY; the
Divine Spirit and the breastplate of the Kohen Gadol {High Priest} in the Temple. Note
the number five is also symbolic of these Words TRUTH, GRACE, God’s Goodness and
Pentateuch {the first five books of the Old Testament}. The meaning of the name
"Hey" is "look," or "behold!”
When the BRIDE OF CHRIST is in the Presence of the LORD all she or
he can do is to look and behold the Glory of HASHEM – ELOHIM THE FATHER
OF ALL FATHERS.

Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1
S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
Revelation of the Gematria of the Hebrew Letters
The numerical value of the letter Aleph is ONE. The Symbol of
Yahweh’s Oneness and Majesty, One, Unique and Invisible God.
The letter Aleph is the “father” of the Aleph-Bet, whose original
pictograph represents an ox, strength, and leader. The small aleph also calls
us to teshuvah {repentance}. It has been stated that every Holy Letter serves
as a channel to connect heaven with earth. The Aleph is seen as a ladder placed
on the ground reaching heavenward. Thus the Aleph conveys to man that in
order for man to free himself from earthly bondage – he or she must infuse
his/her physical existence with spirituality so that he or she can ascend
to the summit: the Divine.

Hebrew: H = Hey = 5 A = Aleph = 1 D = Dalet = 4 A = Aleph = 1
S = Samekh = 60 S = Samekh = 60 A = Aleph - 1 H = Hey = 5
Revelation of the Gematria of the Hebrew Letters
The letter Dalet is the
fourth letter of the Aleph-Bet,
having the numeric value of four.
The pictograph for Dalet looks
something like a closed
(hanging) tent door. The bent
shape of the dalet symbolises a
needy person who is bent over
(the word Dalet comes from
(dalah) which means to draw out
or impoverish, and the word (dalut)
means poor or impoverished).
The letter Samekh is the 15th letter of the
Aleph-Bet, having the numeric value of 60. Samekh
with its numerical value of sixty, is the number that
embodies the major part of the unit of 100 and as
such depicts ABUNDANCE AND COMPLETENESS.
SAMEKH also symbolises support and enclosure. Just
as the body receives its vitality from the heart, so the
entire world receives its spiritual life from the Temple
of God. Today, the Bride of Christ is the Temple of
God and the onus is on you to reflect spiritual life to
your Generation to the Glory of HASHEM.

THE HIDDEN HANDS of GOD
The book of Esther is set in the reign of
Ahasuerus (the biblical name for Xerxes, king of Persia 485-
465 BC), though the Septuagint version calls the king
Artaxeres, presumably Artaxerxes I Longimanus (464-424),
but possibly Artaxeres II Mnemon (404-359). The book
narrates the life of a Jewish maiden, who is orphaned, reared
by her uncle, becomes queen of the Persian Empire, and
saves the Jews living in the empire from the scheming
of Haman, the Agagite. The Hebrew version it relates to
{fifth century}, and may be a product of the Greek period
(for example, after 332 BCE}. The Septuagint version,
which intersperses another 107 verses, probably took its
shape in the second or first century BCE.

The Book of Esther: Biblical Historical Background
The HIDDEN HANDS of GOD The book of Esther & Purim
The significance of the Book of
Esther is that it testifies to the secret watch
care of Jehovah over dispersed Israel. The
name of God does not once occur, but in
no other book of the Bible is His
providence more conspicuous. A mere
remnant returned to Jerusalem. The mass
of the nation preferred the easy and
have a lucrative life under the Persian
rule. But God did not forsake them. What
He here does for Judah, He is surely doing
for all the covenant people.
The book is in seven parts:
I. The Story of Vashti, 1.1-22
II. Esther made queen, 2.1-23
III. The conspiracy of Haman, 3.1-15
IV. The courage of Esther brings deliverance,
4.1-7.10
V. The vengeance, 8.1-9.19
VI. The feast of Purim, 9.20-32
VII. Epilogue, 10.1-3
The events recorded in Esther cover a period of
12 years (Ussher).

Spiritual Connection the book of Esther & Feast of Purim
Rosh Chodesh Adar - ראש חדש אדר - The Month of March
On the Biblical calendar the month of Adar (ר ד7 is the last (א8
month of the year counting from Nisan (during a leap year it is called Adar
II). Adar is also the month of Purim, a festive holiday which is always
celebrated a month before Passover (Megillah 1:4). During both Purim and
Passover the children of Israel celebrate God's deliverance of His people,
and therefore Adar is considered the happiest of the months of the Jewish
year: "When Adar comes, joy is increased" (Ta'anit 29a). This year the
month of Adar begins on Wednesday, 22nd February, and Purim begins two
weeks later, under the full moon (for example Wednesday, 7th March). That
means that Passover begins one lunar month later, on Friday, 6th April
(at sundown).
Spiritual Connection the book of Esther & Purim
The Hebrew word for "scroll" is megillah ה ָּל7 ִג; The Whole Megillah: Is .ְמ=
the Scroll of Esther. God’s Hiddenness and Disclosure
Much is made over the fact that the
book of Esther is the only book of the Tanakh
that does not explicitly mention the Name
of God. However, the idea of God's
sovereignty and hashgachah (divine
providence) is clearly implied throughout the
entire story. In light of this nes nistar, or
"hidden miracle" of the Jew's deliverance,
Esther and Mordecai ordained that Purim
should be observed as a "day of feasting
and merrymaking" and of sending gifts to the
poor (Esther 9:22,28).
PURIM was so named because Haman had
cast lots (Purim) to determine the day on
which to destroy the Jews.
Blessed are You,
HASHEM, our God, King of the
universe, {the God} Who
takes up our grievance, judges
our claim, avenges our wrong;
Who brings just retribution
upon all enemies of our soul
and exacts vengeance for us
from our foes. Blessed are
You, HASHEM, Who exacts
vengeance for His people
Israel from all their foes, the
God Who brings salvation.
The Jewish Prayer of PURIM
The Talmudic Sages describe
the events recorded in the Book of
Esther as the last of the miracles to
be written and canonised as part of
the Scripture.
The Narrative of Esther is
deceptively simple. If one were to hear
it for the first time as an adult, it would
be exciting and suspenseful, but it
would seem to be without religious
significance, for its plot seems to
be a string of coincidences that
come together to produce a happy
ending.

An Overview of the Narrative of Esther
There are those who see Queen Vashti as a
hero, a champion of women and women’s rights
everywhere. To these, Vashti represents the epitome of
self-respect and self-determinism. The fact that Vashti
refused to obey such a heinous request by no means
denigrates her, but rather demonstrates the
insensitivity and immorality of her husband, King
Ahasuerus.

operation in the book of Esther: Today, in our modern society, the Corporate Bride
of Christ must do a self-examination every now and then to see what types of
Spirits are operating in the their life's. As it befits a Bride of Christ to ensure
that she or he is exhibiting the KINGDOM OF GOD’S LIGHT/{WORDS} in the their
lifes and not the Kingdom of Darkness attributes, for example the Bride of Christ
cannot professed Christianity with their LIPS and then live their life with the
CHARACTERISTICS of the KINGDOM OF DARKNESS; Scriptures references: 2
Tim. 3:2; Exod. 20:3; Jeremiah 2:12-13; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12; Judges 2:3.

Myrrh : Obedience Unto Death
Strong’s Hebrew: more, myrrh (as distilling in drops, and also as bitter):myrrh.
The spice myrrh comes from a thick gum that flows from the pierced bark of knotted, thorny tree. The gum hardens into red drops called “tears”. The word myrrh comes from a primary root in Hebrew meaning “bitter suffering”. It represents the bitter sufferings of Jesus as a man on Earth.
The Greek word denotes a spice used in burial. In the New Testament, the Magi brought
gifts to Christ child, including myrrh, a foreshadowing of His suffering and bitter death
on the cross (Matt. 2:11
Purification Process of the Bride of Christ - Contd:
The original sense of the word is that of “distilling in
drops” a slow process of purification. Christ lived a life of
distillation, for “although He was Son, He learned
obedience from the things which He suffered” (Heb. 5:8).
Jesus emptied Himself of His own will, and this culminated in
obedience to the point of death on the cross (Phil. 2:7-8).
Likewise, each child of God is called to smell of myrrh of
distillation day after day by denying his or her own self
life and walking in obedience to the will of Christ alone
(Matt. 16:24-25;6:10).
Purification Process of the Bride of Christ - Contd:
Revelation: Purification of the
Mind, Soul and Body this is what
is REQUIRED by the Yahweh the
Father from the Bride of Christ
for access to the Kingdom of
God and Eternity! The Bride of
Christ must enter into the fire of
purification as a Bride adorned
for marriage but will come out of
the Purification Fire as a Wife for
Christ. When the Bride of Christ
is going the process of
Purification and Sanctification
she or he is being Veil in the
Father’s Glory and LOVE!

SYNOPSIS: SYNOPSIS:
The book of Esther is predicated and affirmed on a sort-of
halfway meeting of the minds. Queen Vashti is indeed banned by
King Ahasuerus’ decreed on the advised of his counsellors and a
national beauty pageant is held to find a replacement. Esther, a
Jewess, is chosen and the story of how she becomes the vessel that
God would used to protected the Jewish people by her intervention
with the king is the focus for the Purim Festival. Esther disobeys
her husband’s commands, as did Vashti, but in Esther’s case,
she does so with a display of humility that wins her the king’s
favour. In other words, whereas Vashti was openly rebellious,
Esther used her wiles well, Ephesians 6:10-18.
