I was reading in Esther this morning. Chapter one. And I noticed something I never saw b4. The royal banquet that the King threw lasted for days. 180 days. That's one huge partay. But then the King didn't just have one, but there were 3 royal party's all together.
One for all the king's nobles and officials...
One for all the people, from greatest to least who were in Susa...
And One that Queen Vashti threw for the women in the royal palace of the King.
Can you imagine? I'm not so sure I would have been able to hang that long. But then part of me wonders what it must have been like...
I have never been invited to nor attended a royal party like the ones the book of Esther talks about. I mean, sure I been to party's but none with the word royal in front of it and not quite as exquisite as the Bible talks about these ones being.
As I read this story I'm reminded of the royal party going on in the heavenlies that were all invited to and I here Him whisper...
I AM on the Royal throne
Come boldly before Me
Whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved
Invited into a Royal banquet where I will display the riches of My glory
And the splendor of My great majesty for you
For eternity
Everyone
From greatest to least
Is invited into the courts of the King
There you will experience My beauty
Decorated in the garden of My presence
Filled with righteousness and revelation
Held by cords of truth and grace
Resting confidently in eternal life
There is an abundance of royal wine that I have to give you
According to My bounty, not man's.
This is the royal party I have for you.
