Est 1:19 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.
Est 1:20 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.
Est 1:21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
Est 1:22 For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.
The king (Ahaseurus) was over 127 provinces from India to Ethiopia (wow). Naturally that included a vast array of peoples, cultures and languages. Here we had a situation in which the rebellion of one would likely cause a ripple effect that would lead to rebellion among all the people over time. A measure to deal with this rebellion was issued and the king saw it important that every language and people needed to get this decree in their tongue.
So it is today. A rebellion that began with one has rippled through all (sin), the effect is the damning of every human soul. Our King has gone to amazing lengths to offer the resolution that will save all those that Believe (yes, WHOSOEVER) in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ through godly sorrow, repentance and faith.
The decree is made, the letter is written (Bible), the solution for sin is available yet the message is still not published in every language and distributed to every man. King Ahaseurus did not deliver the letter to every individual himself, he provided the letter. He com,manded his subjects to publish it in the languages and to distribute it completely. He did not want a single person to not get this message.
Lets be messangers today with the letter we have in our language to those who don't have it and let us pray for what God would have us to do to help get the Letter in the rest of the unpublished languages because this is the desire and command of our King and HE IS WORTHY!

Amen! Nice blog - makes sense, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word - therefore, for a people to truly have faith and know the Jesus of the gospel - they need to hear in their own language. It's going to take some real effort... but it will be worth it!
