The Remnant Leader's Power and Ideological Idolatry

Esther 4:1-16 / "Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish." (16)

More terrifying than political idolatry is ideological idolatry. Here, God sent Esther. Remnants are a completely distinct diaspora. They are the people whom God has called and scattered. During the days of Egypt, in order to get rid of those who had the Gospel, Satan used a policy of killing all Hebrew boys. The person who appeared at that time was Moses. In the age of Assyria, all the males of northern Israel were captured. In the age of Babylon, Haman, who was seized by Satan, plotted to kill all the Jewish people. During that time, the figure who appeared was Esther who possessed three powers.

1. Esther 2:10
Mordecai was Esther's cousin. When Esther entered the palace, the wise Mordecai forbid her to reveal that she was Jewish. Esther clearly understood what he had said. That's why Haman, who tried to annihilate all Jewish people, didn't know that Esther was Jewish.

2. Esther 4:1~16
When the Jewish people were about to be slaughtered, Mordecai told Esther to go and reveal her true nationality and background. In this manner, Remnants must be prepared and utilized when God needs them. In those days, if anyone approached the king without being summoned, he or she was put to death. Despite knowing that, Esther said that she would go before the king and even exclaimed, "If I perish, I perish." That's why Esther instructed to gather all the Jews to fast and pray for her.

3. The Feast of Purim
That's how the Jewish people came to celebrate the Feast of Purim which commemorated the event of defeating Haman. At that time, the king even had that incident recorded in the annals of history. Like Esther, if Remnants completely hold onto the covenant, they'll save many people.

In order for Remnants to save people, they must be gathered in advance within their fields; resolve; and hold onto the covenant. Right now, "fashion and beauty strategies" move the world. If Remnants grab hold of and focus on this covenant, "24" will take place and through the "power of 25," they'll create masterpieces within "Eternity."

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, please pour down the answer of the Feast of Purim upon all Remnants who'll save the future. Just like the Remnants of Babylon, may they grab hold of the covenant and resolve. Armed with the power and masterpieces of the "Holy Mason; Holy Leader; and Holy Diaspora," may Remnants save the entire world. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
