Esther 1-5: Queen Vashti's Rebellion

Transcript Today’s Bible Translation Bible translation used in today’s episode: Ch. 1 NET, Ch. 2-4 NKJV, Ch. 5 GWT Executive Producer Lifespring! Family Berean Sister Ann Podcast Introduction It’s History Tuesday. We’ll read Esther 1-5. I’m calling this episode “Queen Vashti’s Rebellion.“ Design: Jason Paschall | Photo: Midjourney Summary The book of Esther is set in the vast Persian Empire, ruled by King Ahasuerus (Xerxes). Ahasuerus throws extravagant banquets to display his power. Queen Vashti refuses his inappropriate request during one such event, leading to her removal as queen. The text also mentions Ephesians 5, emphasizing that respect should be earned through love, not demanded through mistreatment. Ahasuerus could have avoided the situation if he had loved Vashti genuinely. The story continues in the next reading. Listen to the episode for more! Support This a value for value podcast.
