"And the king's decree shall be proclaimed and published throughout all his empire (for it is great), that all wives shall give honor to their husbands, both great and small. And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the kind did according to the word of Meaucan; and he sent letters to all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof and to every people according to its own language, that every man should bear rule in his own house and that it should be published according to the language of every people." (Esther 1:20-22, Lamsa translation, emphasis mine)
What was it which precipitated this decree of Persian King Ahasuerus in the day of Judah's Babylonian captivity?
Vanity. Ego. In verses 10-12 we read:
"On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded the eunuchs...to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the royal crown, to show the people and the princes her beauty; for she was fair to look upon. But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command by the eunuchs; therefore the king was very wroth and his anger burned in him." (emphasis mine)
There is a valuable lesson on sexual relations to be learned here, and judging by the failure of marriages among Aryans, and the seeming inability of eligible young men in Christian Identity circles to find, court and marry suitable young women, I'd say all could use some basics in understanding and living with the opposite sex, otherwise we face certain death as a people.
Let's analyze this King Ahasuerus, his actions, and their consequences. Firstly, the guy was an unmitigated lush. I mean, this cad would throw parties for his admirers (both witting and unwitting) at the drop of a hat. The rest of Esther shows this. He loved to tip a few brews, and often more than a few. The Bible does not forbid us to use alcoholic beverages, and we are even told that, on occasion, a little wine is good for the system (1 Timothy 5:23), and even science has told us that compounds found in both grape juice and certain red wines are good for us. However (and you know well as I) that this is not WHY most people drink.
Notice, too, that Ahasuerus' drinking is concurrent with his desire to show off his earthly "belongings," one of which appears to have been his WIFE. I might have said "property," for this is how he treated her, and this is how most young men today look upon potential spouses, at least in Christian Identity circles. They may not admit this, but the proof is in the pudding (marital relationships), which suffer the strain of misunderstanding. Women long for men to understand them, but all we hear in the media is jokes about how this is an impossibility. Perhaps this is why authors such as John Gray (Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus) are presently so successful. Many of his books are gifts from one sex to the other, in hopes of conciliation.
Secondly, look at Ahasuerus' initial response to Vashti's refusal to be paraded before acquaintances:
"What shall WE do to Queen Vashti, according to law, because she has not performed the command..."
Whenever some men are backed into a corner, or have their fragile egos bruised a bit, they may hit the bottle, or they may commiserate with others (usually friends or business acquaintances) or (as in this case) conspire to commit revenge. When they do this, they are exhibited the "base (animal) nature," or a pack instinct. Assuming these young Aryan men want to rise above the carnal nature and be the men our Heavenly Father created them to be (1 Samuel 4:9, et al), they should not seek first to settle things publicly, or before worldly magistrates. The principles of Matthew 18:15-17 should always be followed, if we are to call ourselves "Christian."
In this case (and I use the example of Ahasuerus here, though he was not an Israelite, to prove a point) the king should have invited his wife to attend the party, rather than commanding her. Women usually pride in their appearance, and like to be seen on their own terms, in which case their natural beauty shines from within (as with Esther), in a form of natural humility, even shyness. It is a common law maxim that LAW CANNOT COMPEL PERFORMANCE. Ahasuerus probably had no better luck with other men's wives in his kingdom, than he did with his own.
Thirdly, let's analyze what Ahasuerus did following the publication of his decree:
"Then the king's servants and his ministers said to him, >Let there be beautiful young virgins sought for the king; and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces, that they may gather together all the beautiful young virgins to the house of the women, to the custody of Hegai the eunuch, keeper of women; and let their things for purification be given them; and let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so." (Esther 2:2-4, Lamsa, emphasis mine)
They held a beauty pageant! Now, I don't know how many of these major beauty pageants (if any) require that contestants be virgins (probably none are), but they certainly require that they must not be mothers, or pregnant! There is something about the virgin, the "untouched" beauty, the innocence, which captures the imagination of men, especially those who are debauched, as if deflowering one might somehow bring back a bit of a man's lost innocence! Are such men described in Micah 3:1-3?
"Then the LORD said, Hear these things, O you chiefs of the house of Jacob, and you princes of the house of Israel: Is it not meet (proper) for you to know justice? O you haters of the good and lovers of evil, who strip the skin from off the people and the flesh from off their bones (you rob the people); who oppress my people and flay their skin from off them and break their bones and chop them in pieces, as if they were to be put in the pot, like meat in a caldron."
Too strong words, you say? Why thenBlike the mongrel dogs not of our raceBdo you look at the youngest, the prettiest and the fairest of our maidens as if they were such pieces of meat? I remember distinctly an experience at a Family Bible Retreat years ago where I was conversing with an attractive young woman at the entrance to the main building, when a husky young fellow came up to us, gave her the "once over" from head to toe (focusing on the intimate parts) and remarked "how nice it was to see nice new meat in the Identity movement." I was so flabbergasted that such filth would emanate from one attending such a gathering, I didn't do what I should have, which was make him beg her forgiveness, then report this louse to the camp elders, to be excluded from camp. In younger years I might have decked him on the spot, no questions asked. Years later, when I was publishing a newsletter, I got a personal check and request to run an ad for this cretin (I cross-referenced the name with old camp records, so I know it was him) to help him find a Christian-Israel wife. Somehow, it didn't surprise me that he got nowhere with the ladies. Needless to say, I returned the check and told him why.
Speaking as man, I must admit that we'd all like to marry a gal whose face you wouldn't mind waking up to every morning (and if you are obedient to Yah's Word, you will, eventually), but we need to put our thinking caps on every time we see an attractive young maiden pass by. Even if you never talk with her, you should treat her as if she were your younger sister, and protect her from the racial alien, AND the debauched kinsmen (such as the fool above).
Yes, I am very aware of the injuries caused on account of Jewish filth and mores being dumped upon American society, such as the fallen motion picture industry, but who is it that has attended the movies, who watches the Electronic Toilet (television), who gives aid and comfort to the enemies of our race? Think carefully now...
Who is it that continues the Jewish / pagan practice of "dating" the opposite sex, rather than COURTSHIP, which is sanctioned by Scripture? Who is that insists his fiancé recite the "love, honor and obey" line at traditional weddings, when he knows he will use that as a lever to make his wife a "Yes, dear" robot: physically there, but emotionally estranged from him?
Who is it that will be so jealous of his wife's other friendships that he must forbid them? Or monitor them so closely he gets no work of his own done?
Who is it that will use Ephesians 5:22-24 as a truncheon, disregarding both verse 21 before, and verses 25 through 29 after it?
Finally, my fellow Christian Aryan Israelite young men, let us abide by, and overcome all things by reading the previous verses (Ephesians 5:15-20):
"Watch therefore, that you live a glorious life, not as foolish men but as wise, who take advantage of their opportunity; for these are difficult days. Wherefore do not lack wisdom, but understand what the will of God is. And do not become drunk with wine, wherein is intemperance; but be filled with the (Holy) Spirit, speaking to your souls in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, sing with your heart to the LORD, giving thanks always for all men to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
So be it.
