2 Women were Summoned
One said “No”
and
One said “Yes”

Enter the Queen
King commanded … to bring before him Queen Vashti, wearing her royal crown, in order to display her beauty to the people and nobles, for she was lovely to look at.

Consequences of Disobedience
He spoke with the wise men who understood the times…
“According to law, what must be done to Queen Vashti?” he asked.
“She has not obeyed the command of the King”

“Queen Vashti has done wrong, not only against the king, but also against all the nobles and the peoples of all the provinces”

Universal Disrespect
The nobility who have heard about the queen’s conduct will respond
to all the king’s nobles in the same way. There will be no end of
disrespect and discord.

The Church is God’s Queen
Will she say “YES!” to her calling?
Will she display her beauty for all to see?
Will she command Respect?

The Beloved to Her King and Her Lover:
Oh, how I wish you would kiss me passionately!For your lovemaking is more delightful than wine.
The fragrance of your colognes is delightful;your name is like the finest perfume.No wonder the
young women adore you!
Draw me after you; let us hurry!May the king bring me into his bedroom chambers!

The Maidens to the Lover:
We will rejoice and delight in you;we will praise your love more than wine.
The Beloved to Her Lover:
How rightly the young women adore you!

A Shy, Self-conscious Church
The Beloved to the Maidens:
I am dark but lovely, O maidens of Jerusalem,dark like the tents of Qedar,lovely like the tent
curtains of Salmah.
Do not stare at me because I am dark,for the sun has burned my skin.My brothers were
angry with me;

The 2nd Woman
Rebecca – The Wife for Isaac
![Page 16: Why Preach the Gospel ?. Robert Moffat “We’ll have all of eternity to celebrate our victories, but only one short hour before sunset to win them”](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c6f5503460f94921a34/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Call or Courtship ?
Abraham said to his servant, “Solemnly promise by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of the earth: You must not
acquire a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites… go instead to my country and to my relatives to find a wife for my son
Isaac.”
![Page 17: Why Preach the Gospel ?. Robert Moffat “We’ll have all of eternity to celebrate our victories, but only one short hour before sunset to win them”](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c6f5503460f94921a34/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What if she says “No.”
The servant asked him, “What if the woman is not willing to come back with me to this land? Must I then
take your son back to the land from which you came?”
“Be careful never to take my son back there!” Abraham told him.
![Page 18: Why Preach the Gospel ?. Robert Moffat “We’ll have all of eternity to celebrate our victories, but only one short hour before sunset to win them”](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c6f5503460f94921a34/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Abraham Knew God
“The Lord, the God of heaven… promised me with a solemn oath, ‘To your descendants I will give this land.’
He will send his angel before you so that you may find a wife for my son from there.
![Page 19: Why Preach the Gospel ?. Robert Moffat “We’ll have all of eternity to celebrate our victories, but only one short hour before sunset to win them”](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062712/56649c6f5503460f94921a34/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
No back-up Plan !
But if the woman is not willing to come back with you, you will be free from this oath of mine. But you must not take my son back
there!”

God will be involved
I will say to a young woman, ‘Please lower your jar so I may drink.’ May the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac reply, ‘Drink, and I’ll give your camels water too.”

Edgar A. Guest
You are the person who has to Decide.
Whether you’ll do it or toss it aside;
You are the person who makes up your mind.
Whether you’ll lead or will linger behind
Whether you’ll try for the goal that’s afar.
Or just be contented to stay where you are.
