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.”

Page 6: The Father’s House Kingdom Ministry

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?

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

Page 11: The Father’s House Kingdom Ministry

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.

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 .

Page 14: The Father’s House Kingdom Ministry

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.)

Page 15: The Father’s House Kingdom Ministry

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).

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:

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 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).

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

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.

Page 29: The Father’s House Kingdom Ministry

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.

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!

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

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 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

Page 36: The Father’s House Kingdom Ministry

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).

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 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.

The Message & Revelation: In recognising and labelling the Spirits in

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.

Esther 2:12 Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that

she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the

days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six

months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)

type of consecration resulted into a type of be fenced love and protection from the Father

towards she or he. Also, an anointing of grace from LORD on the Bride of Christ becomes

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

Page 48: The Father’s House Kingdom Ministry

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).

The government of God is an example

as it is concealed in the mystery of the New

Birth. Also means that which may only be

understood in symbolic, parabolic, and

prophetic contexts. Mark 4:11; Isaiah 8:16;

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.
