Hatach the Chamberlain
ESTHER 4:5-9
5 ¶ Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was. (Esther was in a state of confusion as to the crisis of the hour, and so she needed a ministry that could bring her a message from Mordecai that would take her out of her confusion – and that ministry was Hatach.
We remember that she had been raised from a little girl under Mordecai’s ministry, and we know that Mordecai’s ministry is brother Branham’s ministry of this day that we have been raised under also, but we are also in a crisis, and just as Mordecai is separated from Esther, brother Branham the man has been separated from us in this day also, but during that time the king had appointed another to attend to Esther – and that was Hatach the Chamberlain)
6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.
7 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. (Notice that Hatach is receiving a clarity of the words of Mordecai so that he can reiterate Mordecai’s message to Esther in order to bring her out of her confusion of the message, and that is necessary before God can use her to bring about a resurrection of her people)
8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther (Laws of genocide were being written in order to make killing innocent people legal – did we see that in WW2?, do we see that with abortion laws that legalise killing innocent babies - that is the spirit that is in the world today, and one day it will be legal for them to kill you and I also), and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
9 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Notice here that the message of Mordecai is being preached to Esther by Hatach for the purpose of bringing her into a change of heart where she becomes willing to lay her life down for her people. That was the same place that Christ had to come to in the garden of gethsemane before the resurrection could take place also – not my will, but thine be done.
Hatach the Chamberlain
In our studies of this book of Esther we ended up last week on this character called Hatach – and so we want to pick up on him again and maybe go a little deeper with this character.
*Every single character in this book of Esther has been carefully placed there by God as an accurate and detailed prophecy of this end time hour.
**So we first want to do a little overview of our studies so far to help pick us all up together to the same level.
*There are only two books in the bible named after woman – the book of Ruth, and the book of Esther. And in both of these books we see that there is a choosing of a bride and an invisible union that takes place. Boaz chooses Ruth to be his bride, and King Ahasuerus chooses Esther to be his bride.
*And we all know that Ruth represents the end time gentile bride at the time when Naomi (who represents the Jews) returns back to Bethlehem which in this day is the Jews returning back to Israel after 1948 and WW2.
**But then we notice that this pattern of the book of Ruth also applies to the book of Esther, because the book of Esther is place directly after the book of Ezra and Nehemiah which is also the Jews returning back to their home land which is also after 1948.
So both books (Ruth and Esther) are being fulfilled at the same time which is after 1948 between WW2 and WW3 which is the 6th and 7th trumpet.
*And so after the book of Ezra and Nehemiah (1948) comes the book of Esther which is when a virgin bride is being sort for king Ahasuerus after queen Vashti (the Pentecostal Laodicean church of 1906) had been put away in divorce for refusing to come into the presence of the king to receive a further portion of the word (that was sometime around 1962 in our day) – so we have already seen this take place in our day.
**Then directly after the book of Esther comes the book of Job, which of course is the resurrection.
*So this book of Esther is placed between the Jews going back to their homeland which is 1948, and the resurrection which is the book of Job which we know in this hour represents the resurrection of the 7 gentile church ages of sleeping saints at the last trump which is at the rapture.
*So if Revelation 9 is WW1 and WW2 (the fifth and sixth trumpet), and Revelation 11 is the two Jewish prophets to Israel and WW3, then we know that Revelation Chapter 10 is the book of Esther in the book of Revelation, because Revelation 10 begins with the descending angel which is Christ the judge of all the earth, and the book of Esther begins with King Ahasuerus the judge of all the earth, and then Mordecai is the angel of Revelation 10:7, and John we know is Esther the virgin bride that’s been raise up under Mordecai’s ministry and who receives the kings seed by eating the book, and then we see also that in Revelation 10:8-11 while John is eating the book (which is the invisible union of the bride to Christ), that the same message is to be preached again by a ministry who is to reiterate Mordecai’s message the second time – and that ministry is the 5 fold ministry which is Hatach.
QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.ON.THE.SEALS_ JEFF.IN SUNDAY_ 63-0324M
494-4 {232} 22. Would the Bride of Christ have... Would the Bride of Christ have a ministry before the rapture?
Sure. That's what's going on right now. See? The Bride of Christ... Certainly. It is the Message of the hour (See?), the Bride of Christ. Sure, She's consist of apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. Is that right? That's the Bride of Christ. Sure, She's got a ministry, great ministry; it's the ministry of the hour; it'll be so humble...
*Esther is the last woman mentioned in the Old Testament, and she is not just a bride, but she is a virgin bride that has become a queen by the process of the king’s choice of the choosing of a bride, showing that in this last gentile church age there would also be a virgin bride that has been chosen to become a queen by the marriage of the lamb that has come after the opening of the seven seals.
***Remember that the seven seals were broken by the lamb in this day to release the title deed of the inheritance of the earth so that that deed can come back into the possession of the human race again, and it comes back by a people who eat the book, and then the book becomes flesh in you and I in this hour, the title deed back in earthen vessels again as it was in Eden.
***If it was by a woman eating that caused the title deed to be lost in the beginning, then it must also be by a woman eating that restores the book back again.
_____________
In our opening scripture we saw that it was King Ahasuerus (who is a type of Christ in this hour) that had appointed this Hatach to attend to Esther in Mordecai’s absence, and we know that Hatach in this story of Esther represents the 5 fold ministry of this hour who has been appointed to attend to the virgin bride in William Branham’s absence. But as we have seen, that Hatach has no message of his own, but his only gift was to be able to reiterate Mordecai’s message of that hour in a certain way to Esther that it would cause her to come into a maturity of character.
***Notice that there was no resurrection for Esther’s people until the ministry of Hatach comes on the scene and ministers the message of Mordecai to her, and so it is under the ministry of Hatach that Esther comes to a perfection in order to bring the resurrection of her people.
THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M
53-1 You get it? These people who died in here are depending and waiting on us. So this church has got to come to perfection in order to bring the resurrection, and they're under--souls under the altar, waiting for this church to come to its perfection.
**Multitudes of people can look back into history and recognise the people that God used for a previous age or dispensation, but we know that it is only the elected seed of God that can truly recognise the word when it is happening in the day that you are living in.
**When Jesus came along, all the religious people of his day said “we have Moses, but who are you”. But Peter who was a part of the elect of that day said “thou art the Christ” – that was the difference between the religious people and the elected people for that age – and we know that that is the defence between religious people and the elected people for every age.
*Religious people can only recognise the word after it has become history because they can learn about it in bible school, but they can’t recognise it when it is happening in the time they are living in, but the elect of God can recognise it when it is happening – and that is the difference, and it’s a big difference.
*** When Jesus came along, all the religious people said to Jesus “we have Moses, who are you”, and then when Brother Branham came along, the denominational people of this day said to William Branham “we have Jesus, who are you”.
And now that Brother Branham has gone off the scene, the religious people in the message say to the 5 fold ministry that God has raised up in this hour “ we have William Branham, who are you”.
**We know that Hatach who represents the 5 fold ministry of this hour was one of the king’s chamberlains.
This word “chamberlain” means “the kings official eunuch”, and a eunuch is a man who has no seed of his own, and so that is showing us of the character that the 5 fold ministry must possess in this day who are under the message of this hour – they are to have no seed doctrine of their own, they are not to propagate their own ideas that are contrary to the message of the hour into the people like what the denominational churches do, because if you are a denominational preacher, then for sure you will be propagating man’s doctrine seed that is against the revealed truth of this hour - man’s seed instead of the spoken word of the original seed of God.
THE.SEED.IS.NOT.HEIR.WITH.THE.SHUCK_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-4 THURSDAY_ 65-0218
111 … Now it's Seed time, or Bride time. The shucks are dead. The shucks are dried up. The virgin Word time, not touched. It's a virgin, remember, a virgin Word time. If you'd put It in the hands of a denomination, It sure won't be virgin; It'll be man-handled, time you get to It. But God's Church is not touched by denomination.
So that’s why it is the 5 fold ministry of this message who are the king’s chamberlains in this hour – they have been appointed by God to attend the Lamb’s wife in Mordecai’s absence because they have no seed of their own.
________________
***We must always remember that the entire bible is speaking of the one great theme of the 3 fold purpose of redemption which is Christ and His bride in the restored kingdom.
*When Johan was bound and thrown into the sea – it was out of his own compassion that he gave his life in order to save the lives of the gentile sailors on the ship, so we know that that was Christ out of his own compassion giving his life in order to save a gentile bride. Then Jonah spent 3 days and 3 nights in the whale’s belly which was also Christ in the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights. Then Johan comes out of the whale’s belly which is the resurrection of Christ. Then Jonah preaches to a gentile people who repent and receive the mercy of God, and this is what took place after the resurrection of Christ under Paul’s ministry.
***So Jonah’s life was perfectly reflecting Christ, but he was unconscious of it because the mystery of his life was sealed from being revealed to him, because it would take the lamb to take the book and to loose the seals thereof. The 7 seals of the mystery of the great plan of redemption hadn’t been opened by the lamb yet, and that is very important for us to understand because our lives are no different to Jonah’s in that we are also reflecting the mystery of Ruth and Esther in this hour in the events of our lives.
**And it is also very important to notice that even in Jonah’s rebellion of trying to run away from the presence of the Lord, he still couldn’t stop his life from being a reflection of the word, because as a prophet of God he was a part of the word – that is why in all your troubles you are still reflecting the word of this hour.
**As the elected of God in this hour, we are a part of the word of God of the events of this hour that have been prophesied in these stories of Ruth and Esther, and so even if we are in rebellion at certain times in our lives, just like Jonah, we cannot stop our lives from reflecting that word.
***But the 7 seals have been opened in our day in order to open our eyes to the events of our lives that are hidden in all the stories of the bible in mystery form because all the events of our lives were sealed up in the word of God in mystery form.
*And so if we see that Esther is a type of the end time gentile bride of this hour, and she was receiving the last stage of her character maturity under this ministry of Hatach who was a man without a message of his own but was faithful to reiterate to her the message of Mordecai – then we must also see that manifested as a part of our own personal life story in this hour.
***Many great men of God down through history have wondered why the book of Esther was even put in the bible, because it has been a sealed book – and even in this day many still frown upon the book of Esther, they say that God is not even mentioned once throughout the entire book, so why should it even be in the Bible.
Even Martin Luther (The angle to the Sardis Church age), according to his own admission threw the book of Esther into the river.
"The book of Esther I toss into the Elbe (The main river that runs through Germany). I am such an enemy to the book of Esther that I wish it did not exist, for it Judaizes too much and has in it a great deal of heathenish naughtiness."
But we know that since the seals have been opened in out day, the entire bible has become a new book to us who are of this end time revelation.
HEBREWS 11:6a
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him:
Esther pleased the king – that was the difference between her and all the other virgins. And we know that there is no prevailing power than the power of revelation, and that is why denominational religious psychology cannot take the place of when truth is made clear to you by the Holy Spirit – religious psychology may have worked in a past age, but we are living under an eagle age anointing and not a man age anointing – man’s thoughts won’t work in this age of the original seed because this age requires rapturing faith for a resurrection and a body change, and we know that faith is when something is made clear to your understanding by the Holy Spirit, and so to receive revelation you must be able to receive the spirit of the seed of the word of God for this age – the revelation of this hour – and so that is why we know that Esther pleased the king in the way that she received his seed. Vashti displeased the king by failing to go on to receive further seed.
MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_ JEFF.IN V-3 N-13 SUNDAY_ 65-0221M
256 Notice, He can put her away, but she cannot put Him away. He did it, has proved it, in the days when Luther, Wesley, and Pentecost, when they refused to become the further part of Him by having spiritual sexual affair to become pregnated with further part of the Word. You understand? She refused. The Lutheran church refused for Christ to have any more desire with her; Luther refused it. And let me say this, going to call me something anyhow; so is it today with every one of them, they fail to take that Word, they refuse Christ!
257 And any woman that refuses a man his child, has no right to be a wife to him. Amen. You remember, in the Bible, when the king married Esther? Because the queen (Vashti) refused, he just got him another one. And when the... What happened when she refused to come out with the king and obey him? The same thing it is with a woman that refuses to be wife to her husband.
258 And so is it with the church that refuses to become pregnated in the age that we now live in, to bring forth children of this age. We are not Lutherans, we're not Wesleys, neither are we Pentecostals! We've got to be the children of this age, through the pregnancy of the Word of God, to bring forth a Child of this age, the Seed Child. Amen. I hope you understand. Couldn't be pregnated, no, so what did He do? Put her away, in divorcement. That's right. But she daresn't put Him away. He put her away.
**Remember that the secret of Esther’s power laid in her submission to the headship of the king – she had power when she was in her correct position under the headship of her husband.
Esther means a “Star” and we know that she was a star that didn’t fall like Vashti fell for her position under headship.
ESTHER 1:9-20
9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
10 ¶ On the seventh day (we know that this represents the Laodicean church age which is the seventh age when the Pentecostal woman church Vashti appears on the scene and is invited to come into the very presence of the King which is the revealed word of this hour), when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, (Notice - Seven voices calling Vashti to come into the presence of the king, just as seven voices of thunder have invited us into the presence of the king in this day)
11 To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
13 Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment:
14 And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king's face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)
15 What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
17 For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
(Memucan knew that this example of Vashti would influence the woman of the entire nation so that it would weaken the respect of wives towards their husbands, and by doing so would weaken the family structure which in turn would weaken the entire nation so that a stronger nation would eventually overtake them – this Memucan was a very wise man.
But look at the nations of the world today of how men are completely out of their position of their relationship with God and have also allowed the family home to become ruled by the female – it is the influence of Vashti.)
19 If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
These were men that took action against this threat of letting the woman get out of their God given position.
***God designed the first Eden so that it would reflect what was in the back part of His mind, a three-fold secret which was the husband, the wife and the home, because in the beginning it was Adam and Eve in Eden.
- Then he showed it in Abraham and Sarah in the land.
- Then it was Boaz and Ruth in Elimelech’s restored inheritance.
- Then it was Ahasuerus and Esther in the kingdom.
- And then when you bring it down to the individual level, it is the husband and the wife in the home.
*That’s why if the husband can't treat his wife right, then something is wrong with the reflection of his position. And if the wife is out of her place, then something is wrong with the reflection of her position also – and we as believers of Mordecai’s message of this hour are called to reflect this 3 fold purpose in our lives.
***When we talk about “the manifestation of the sons of God”, it is not just about the creative power of speaking things into existence, it is to first include a maturity of our character in this reflection of the great 3 fold purpose of God in the husband and wife and the home.
**The husband under the submission and headship and protection of Christ.
- The wife under the submission and headship and protection of her husband. - The children under the submission and headship and protection of the parents.
- The pets (which is the animal kingdom) under the submission and headship and protection of the children.
***Look in contrast at the reflection of Ahab and Jezebel. Ahab was like Adam; he threw the whole kingdom unto death and went after his wife Jezebel. When Adam went after Eve she was a whore already, she had already co-habilitated with the serpent. Like Jezebel, it was Eve who brought her doctrine of false union to Adam, and Adam submitted to her teaching and threw the whole kingdom into death – they had broken the image and the reflection of the 3 fold purpose of God.
*Like Adam, when Ahab sinned, the whole kingdom was judge under that sin because Ahab was the head of the kingdom. But then Elijah was Christ. And when Elijah came and offered the sacrifice to remove the curse it brought back the rain which brought back life again to the whole nation – that was Christ bringing back life of what Adam lost.
So the whole bible tells the same story of redemption.
**So we see that Esther kept her power because of what she was reflecting of her position under the headship of her husband. She was a star that would reflect the true light of the word that would shine right on into this end time age.
**And our relationship to Christ in this hour is to reflect the same thing that Esther reflected of being under obedience and submission to the headship of the word of this hour and to remain in that position.
****So under the ministry of Hatach, all of Esther’s previous confusion of the message was taken away and the message of Mordecai finally became clear to her. And because this Hatach was faithful to the message of Mordecai, it caused Esther to come to a maturity of a character and a realization of a purpose that was greater than herself, a purpose that she was willing to lay her life down for.
That was the spirit of Christ in Esther that the message of Mordecai produced in her for that hour, and that is the spirit that the message of this hour is to produce in us also.
