We're back in Bible times, people. I mean, where else can you be engaged with Iran, Persia, the ancient capital of the city that dominated Jerusalem. And then Jerusalem is at war with it. We're plugged into something that's a spiritual conflict that goes back thousands of years. And I'm listening to Jonathan Cahn, my Jewish brother, talking about how the Ayatollahs draw their lineage from Agag and the Amalekites, the ancient Haman tribe, the tribe of Haman, the one character that rises up during the book of Esther to exterminate the Jews in a holocaust that would have been more severe than what Hitler pulled off. And of course, then the judgment on the house of Haman, suddenly the Ayatollah is no more. We're wondering, what about his son who is equally hard line and even twice as mad? What will they do with him? We're living in some very interesting times. And I realize even in giving you that information, I'm dating the program. If you watch this six months later, because things are happening fast. But guess what doesn't get dated? The 2000 years of, actually the 4000 years of activity in history. 6000 years of man's activity on the earth. And the record of scripture here, there's any, there's, there's pages here that are coming alive now in the news cycle is what I'm trying to tell you. That's probably why I can't get, get out of Esther. Every year the feast of Purim comes back in the Jewish calendar. It's like the birth of Jesus, you know, for us, the Jews are told to celebrate. Why? Because it's an end time story. It's the story about the Antichrist rising up, the persecution of the people of God. And I personally am concerned when you hear the anti Semitism that's out there. Because you see, here's the principle in the Bible. Oh, Christian, that's kind of anti Israel. Think about this. To the Jew first, then the Gentile. To the Jew first, the persecution, the global animus and hostility, the invictive, the vindictive characterizing of who they are. And then the Christian, the global persecution. Jesus said, you'll be hated of all nations for my name's sake. He wasn't saying that to the Jews, he was saying that to the disciples. And they'll put you to death thinking they're doing God a great service. It's like Islam kills the infidel out of their zeal to be righteous. They're getting rid and exterminating the unbelievers so that Allah, so that their God that they believe is God, can be exalted. We're heading into some pretty weird times, folks. That's why I teach that God raised up Osiris and then I had no idea when I prophesied Donald Trump as Cyrus, that he would come in so, so clearly as a modern day Cyrus that the Jewish people even call him that. But I digress. I want to go into this Bible and I pray right now in the name of Jesus. Get your bibles, get your bibles, get a notebook, get a pen. If you don't have a pen, you don't have a Bible. You're not, you're not expecting much. Let me say that when you watch shows like this or any kind of shows, there's a danger of kind of like a gluttony in the spirit where you watch three minutes of this. Oh, I lost tension, two minutes of that. And you condition yourself to. If you don't have fog machines and special effects and AI generated imagery, you get bored. We need to discipline ourselves to go just to the word of God. And I don't mean just go cherry picking verses on favor and undivine protection and, oh, a few prophecy things about the Antichrist. That's adolescent. That's going for the, that's, that's like the diabetic candy kitchen. We got to get into the meat, which is the verses you don't read and the concepts you don't wrestle with. So let's start matter of fact, let me go over here. Now that you guys are. Got this on the board here. I had to go hunt down in my library. I've got ancient books. You ever see my office at home, those books? I get these books? Oh, yes, they're from the archives. I often wonder what am I going to do with these books when I'm no longer here? Who will value the treasures that I've accumulated over 40 years of treasure hunting? Words of the scholars, the authors, the anointed ones who many people don't even know of because they weren't famous in the natural, they were famous in the spirit. Well, I got one book right here. It's a big one. You ought to do it. It's called Explore the Book by J. Sidlow Baxter. Whew, powerful. Written right there during the Second World War. Even flavors some of his writing with what's going on with Hitler rising up and the Nazi persecution of the Jews. While he's writing, Esther, he's looking at Hitler and what's happening the modern day Jews. Let's take a look at the structure of this I got from Kevin Connors and another fellow from a place in Portland Bible College, Bible Temple. I first heard about them, Kevin Connors would have an Old Testament survey and I love it because in one page you get a survey of the book. Here's what you want to look for. If you're looking for codes, Bible codes, we take a look at the title, the author, the date, the key words. How many times is a certain word used? Do you think maybe the Holy Spirit's got a message for you in words that are repeated a lot? So take a look at this. Key words, king 195 times. This is a story about the king and it's going to be about. About Jesus. We'll find out about that in a minute. But it's about this earthly king, but it has to do with Kings, Jews and the Queen, which I'm going to suggest to you without stretching us too far. Baxter says that in a typology we're looking at Jesus his bride, church and the end time Jewish problem. This will be interesting. Jesus, the gentile, Church, the bride and the turning of the Jews to their deliverance. King, Jew, queen. Well, we know that those words are used, so that's something the Holy Ghost is emphasizing. It covers approximately 10 years from the third year of the reign of Assuerus or Xerxes. Well, Fay's Greek name is Xerxes to the 12th year. Chronologically it occurs between the 6th and 7th chapters of Ezra. So if you're reading the Book of Ezra. Whoa, right there in those chapters, the Esther chapter takes place probably written between 4:50 and 4:20 B.C. what's the title? Well, the book of Esther means a star. Ishtar, the star, the secret, the hidden. It's the hidden hand of God doing his work in a secret way that is suddenly revealed openly but yet not supernaturally. It's an interesting book. God's name is not mentioned once. There's a reason why, and I'm going to explain that to you. But you see, God moves in a work called Providence, which means God sees things before they happen and sets things in place. So it's not like a miracle takes place, but providentially God sets something up. It's the book of the hidden hand of God with the hidden people of God rising suddenly to places of influence. Star, secret, hidden. It's the book of Providence. It's a crises book where God's providence pro meaning to before. Pro before. And Providence is video the root word is video pro. Video is the Greek word provideo to see the thing before it happens. God sees, it's called foreknowledge. He sees what's coming down the road and he sets something up before it gets there. Providential movement of God and this is the mystery in the natural. You could dismiss it coincidence. But you see, prayer sets up the providence of God to intervene in your affairs. Going into some deeper waters than usual. But hold. Stay with me now. So the key verse is 4:14. What is the key verse 4:14. Let's go to your Bible. Get your bible out. I told you to get your pen and your Bible. Look for it. We're going on a treasure hunt today. 4:14. Ah. The key verse here says for if you remain completely silent, Esther, if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place. But you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows but that you will come to the kingdom for such a time as this. I love how Christians, I can't help it. I'm the same way. We always love the Esther prophecies. Does that, you know what that means? Esther prophecies are, you know, you'll be like Esther, you know, and that's great. Well you really think about that because that means you're going to be like in a crisis situation where you got to reveal you're a Christian in order to alter some disastrous event from happening. That's what that would mean. So here's the point. That is the key verse is God providentially put Esther in a promoted position of influence and access so that she could intervene when Satan moved. Because God saw with foresight what Satan was going to do. Purpose to illustrate God's providential care for the Jews that did not return with the first remnant. Very muy importante. The reason why God's name. I'm going to repeat myself several times because I have to because these ideas are kind of novel. The reason why there's no prophets in the book of Esther is because the prophets are all prophesying in Jerusalem. Haggai's prophesying, Zechariah is prophesying. The prophets are prophesying down there. They're not prophesying in Persia. You know why? Because the Jewish people aren't supposed to be in Persia. They're supposed to be down rebuilding God's house. This speaks to the Christians also come out of Babylon. My people, we are so comfortable in the world system. We're so comfortable in the world system. I don't want to get my friends offended, but I've got a lot of people that want me to go out there and take on battles for them. Lance, what about this? What about that? And then if I say, hey, I'm going to mention you in this battle. Oh, don't mention my name. Don't bring that up. My God, that'll expose me. It'll mess with my opportunities to make money, and I can't afford the controversy. Do you know how many Christians have a Babylonian mentality right now? You're still stuck in the world, my friend. You're not in the kingdom. You're not 100% in the kingdom where you're willing to risk it all to be known as a Jew, as a follower of Yeshua, as a devoted follower of Christ. Now, it doesn't mean you have to be stupid about it. I have friends of mine that lost great jobs because they were not wise about how they. I mean, they put a Bible on their desk in an atheist law firm. Well, that may be a witness in one way, but maybe take them out to lunch and share with them. Build a relationship and talk about how God's saved your life and changed your marriage. Before you go too strong there, I'm just saying Esther was told hi to girl, don't let them know you're a Jew. So there's a time maybe to be a little ninja, got to go in and out. But I'm just saying a lot of Christians are hiding out in Babylon and like the world system, they don't want the end to come. They don't want the kingdom to come. They're happy with the kingdom they got. Interesting thought, huh? To illustrate God's providential care to recount the origin of the feast of Purim. Where did it come from? Well, Purim is going to be the feast where God reversed the curse. We're going to talk about how to reverse the curse. By the way, somebody's going to be saying, where is all this stuff? You can get it here in the scepter of Esther. How to access throne room power? Just go to lancewellett.com Esther and man, just, you know, sow whatever you want. I'm giving it away, basically for whatever. Whatever you want to give, you can have it. And get my book on the Billy Graham prophecy because I write a chapter here about the unusual era we're in right now where Billy Graham was literally laying in Washington, D.C. during the feast of Purim. And I say that man of God was prophesying from his grave regarding the era that is coming to the end in Jesus of Jesus grace in America, where we have a Trump in office. But what comes after Trump? I think Billy Graham was prophesying something's going to change. He was laid to rest in the state capitol at the feast of Purim. Anyway, go get that lancewanlet.com Esther. You can call 1-800-910-6349. You can get it there. Just order it and whatever you want to pay, you can help me out. If you can help a brother out, sow something. If not, just cover the postage. The message is, the unseen hand of providence guides, guards, and overrules in and through above the affairs of men, keeping watch and preserving his own elect. Make that larger. The outline is the feast of Assuerus. Then we have the feast of Esther. Then we have the feast of Purim. Oh, I love this. You guys all got to start to see the hidden architecture of the Bible. God's got a divine, like, you know, coding. It's almost like computer code. It's three feasts is the outline. The first feast is the feast. The king has come on out, Vashti. Come on out, you beautiful, voluptuous woman of mine. Yes, my beautiful wife. Come out here, put on a little physical show for my buddies here. You know, let them see how beautiful you are. I know it's kind of crude. Hey, these guys are Persian crude people. And the queen said, no, I'm not coming out and just going to exhibit myself to your men drinking buddies. And the king was furious. He said, you're no longer queen. Go find me somebody else. Well, her refusal to show up when the king summoned her. If you don't mind me torturing the scripture a little bit. I do believe that a lot of preachers are right when they say there's a parallel meaning that the Bible says the bride has made herself ready. And when God calls forth for his bride to be on exhibition for the kings of the earth to see, if she refuses to come forth because she doesn't want to come out of Babylon and be exposed, then God will reach around providentially and exalt someone else to take that person's place. Hold fast thy crown lest another take it. I got people around me that hate it when I preach this stuff. I think secretly people want to think that they could do whatever they want to do and still get the same reward. I don't believe that's true. I think there's 30, 60 hundredfold in the Bible for a reason that Some people are going to. Let's just say there's, you know, see that you receive a full reward and you not forfeit your inheritance and give it to another. The Bible warns you about that. Why? Because this queen, as the type of the church that didn't show up, ends up being put aside by the church that does show up. They're both in the kingdom, they're both in Persia. But when you and Jesus did this to the, To. To the. To the Jews, he said, because you did not receive me, the king, when I called you forth my people, therefore the kingdom shall be taken from you and given to another nation, producing the fruits thereof. This is in Matthew. In other words, you didn't come when you were called, therefore the calling is now given to someone else. This is a Bible pattern. If you don't obey when God calls, he gives it to someone else. Makes sense, right? Hold fast your crown lest another take it. Is my verse. Vashti lost the queen crown that went on Esther's head because she showed up at the summons of the king. Feast Feast Esther Feast Purim Summary in this book we see King Xerxes of Persia setting aside Queen Vashti, the Feast of Assuerus, and Esther, who was then chosen to be the bride queen, was brought in and prepared by the ministries of Mordecai and Hegai. The Feast of Esther. Then when Haman the Agagite rose up against the Jews, Esther called a national fast and at the risk of her own life, she life brought deliverance to the Jewish people. And the Feast of Purim was then initiated to be celebrated annually to be commemorated. The death of Haman hung on the gallows he prepared for Mordecai and the deliverance and the preservation of the Jews. Esther is the last of the three post exilic historical books. Now, that's important. What is it? Talking about the post exilic historical books, whenever you don't understand something, stop and make sure you're clear on what it is. In other words, there's three books that deal with the Jewish people being returned to their land. This is so interesting, you see, because I believe Chuck Mishler was correct. Who? Kim Clement insisted. I start to listen to Kim Lovechuck Missler in California. And Missler said, you need to read Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther with the understanding that those books outline the history of the Jews after they come back into their land. In 1948, they came back into their land and Esther and Ezra and Nehemiah are going to come alive because the sequence of events buried there in those three books are the end time sequence of events that pertain under the end time Jew and the end time church. You see why I hang out with Esther and Nehemiah and Ezra and keep going back to Cyrus and Trump. Cyrus, Trump. People don't understand. I'm not like. It's not like I don't have a music sheet I could change the songs on. How can I leave the themes that God is speaking about? 1948, the Jews came back. That means the books that deal with the post exile, meaning exile no longer there. They're returning to the land. In 1948, the Jews returned to the land. They're in the chapter of Ezra and Nehemiah and Esther right now. And so are you. Gentile Christian. These things are written for you. The Jewish people have a blindness upon them. They're as blind as Tucker Carlson. They can't see. Why? Because God has put that blindness upon them. Until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in, he's got, I don't know, a billion soul harvests of gentiles. Jesus is going to see, the Bible says in Isaiah, the travail of his soul. He'll see the price of his agony and be satisfied. What does that mean? The agony he suffered will be compensated for by the number of souls that are saved because of his obedience. He'll say, it was worth it. That was worth it. That was worth the agony. Father, look at the harvest. So you have the restoration of the temple was Ezra's book. That's the religious book, frankly. It's a book about deliverance and getting out of the intermarriages of the world, the flesh and the devil with your spirit life. Let me say it again. It's a book about intermarriages of the world, the flesh and the devil with your sanctification to separate you unto the Lord, to be totally devoted to him and stop having these adulterous affairs with the world system. It's the book of Nehemiah. The reconstruction of the city walls, that's the political move. Oh, there you go getting involved with politics. Yes, I'm getting involved with politics. Because politics belongs to the kingdom of God. Media belongs to God. Academics belong to God. Business and finance belong to God. If you don't believe it, you will give an account for every single word you spoke, every dollar you spent when you stand before him. Because it all belongs to Him. And if it wasn't used and stewarded for his glory, you're held accountable for what you did with what he gave you the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. It doesn't belong to man and it doesn't belong to the devil. All those kingdoms, what did Jesus, when he was on the mount of temptation with the devil, what did the devil say? All this was given to me and I give it to whoever I want. Now if you bow down, we can make a deal. Satan was saying it wasn't mine to begin with, it was yours. Somebody gave it to me. I guess man screwed up. In other words, all the kingdoms of this world belong to Jesus. They were his to begin with. And Satan took them and Jesus took them back and he's coming back to claim the planet. That's what the end time conflict is all about. Who owns the right to rule on earth. Bam. That's going to be the big battle the church has. Nehemiah is about the reconstruction of the city walls and the gates of influence that control the cities. Political. Esther's preservation of the Hebrew house of Judah. Esther is the preservation of the house of Judah. It's the national. So you have the religious, the political and the national. These three books, all three of those books, you see why I said they're prophetic. Now, the name of God is. Wonder if I have this pen here. Is not mentioned. Lance. The name of God is not mentioned once in Esther, but it's hidden in Hebrew. Acrostics, the first letter of every four words in chapter three. The reverse letters in this fifth chapter going backwards. And you know, verse seven, read the verse, the fifth letter, read it from left to right or right to left. And what happens is acrostics form a code. And you see, when the Hebrews are talking, it goes in one direction. When the Gentiles are talking, it goes in another direction. When God is moving, it goes in this direction. And when the devil is moving, it goes in a reverse direction. It's fascinating. It's like computer science wrote it. But remember what I said about providence. God's hidden. And why is God hidden? Well, before I go there, I'm going to just tell you. Esther is hidden in the Hebrew acoustic form four times. God's name is hidden four times. Actually, they found it even more than that with computer science. Christ is seen in every book in the Bible. He is seen as the king for whom the church, Esther is prepared to be married to by the ministry of the Word, which is Mordecai and the Spirit. Hegai, you see what I said? The symbolism of Esther and the king of Kings there, the king who rules over all of Persia is the story of Christ and his church. I think that's pretty wild. Now let me just go ahead and say this a little bit more here so you can see how this works. So I got three minutes left. This is very important. We're going to start with Israel. Let's get the background, the timing. Why did God not speak in Babylon or Persia, but he spoke in Jerusalem? Well, Israel had this beautiful prophet Jeremiah, who they stuck in a pit who prophesied, you're going to go away into timeout for 70 years. Your temple's beautiful, majestic temple gone. Nebuchadnezzar is coming. They hated him for those prophecies, but he ended up being proved right. So here you got Israel ends up going into what? It ends up going into Babylon captivity. Babylonian captivity is what happens now when that takes place, who are the prophets that God is going to raise up? He's got Daniel. Believe it or not, you may not remember this, but Daniel and, and Ezekiel are actually both interceding, prophesying and praying over the future of the Jewish people in their captivity. Now they're in exile. Remember the word post exilic. They're in exile right here. And while they're there, finally the 70 years comes to pass. And Daniel's prophecies manifest with this dude Cyrus, who comes to power. And Cyrus comes in and he deals with the Babylonians and takes over the country. And at this time, you have the Cyrus prophecies starting to fulfill. He said, go back. Put this together for you a little bit better this way. He says, go back, Israel. Go back to your land. And he says, just go back now. And the prophet Ezra, the scribe Ezra, and it records how Jeremiah's prophecies all the way back here were fulfilled because the 70 years were up. And Isaiah's prophecy regarding one coming name, Cyrus, is fulfilled. I want you to see this. Israel goes into captivity, judged. After 70 years, Cyrus comes to power. He says, it's time, go back and rebuild your house. Now watch what takes place. The Jews were supposed to go back and rebuild. They were supposed to go back to Israel and go back to Jerusalem. But what did they do? This is very important, what they did. And I made some special notes here to remind me. What they did was they stayed in Persia, they stayed in Babylon. So what you've got over here, now watch this. You've got the prophets, haggai prophesying, build the house. You got the prophet Zechariah saying, messiah's coming in Persia. Those that stayed there, the majority of them stayed there. Only a remnant, the Bible says went back and did the rebuilding process. So when they stayed in Persia, that's where the book of Esther comes from. Now you see why God didn't spend God and speak to them. Because they were actually not supposed to be there. Dare I say this, Sometimes persecution and tribulation comes because we're not where God wants us to be. Even the Jewish people, it's a hard thought to think of, but the Jews are actually called to return to their land. That means, I think that all around the world, this end time persecution of the Jews is to force them to return to their land where God can deal with them. And what about us? It's forcing us to get grounded in our land, which is the kingdom authority of Jesus. All right, remember, you can get all this teaching on Esther, how to access throne room power, 1-800-910-6349 and get the Billy Graham prophecy lancewallnut.com Esther and we'll meet you again next week.
