Subject: Was Queen Vashti Right to Disobey? |
Bible Note: Tim Moran Esther chapter one - her husband's advisors had him put out an edict to make sure all wives would obey their husbands. The concept of scripture applying to a Persian is not even worth considering. And yes there were scriptures showing, not the didactic direct teaching of obdience to husbands but the narrative example of women doing so in ancient Biblical times. The Old Testament cannot be applied forwards as didactic teachings because they are narratives so the principle of adhereing to a literary form that says you cannot apply the OT to interpreting the New Testament in many instances applies. The same cannot be said of the New Testament in its didactic portions in that it definitely can be used to interpret parts of Old Testament narrative to deduce whether or not the actions of the participants was correct or right. Not based off whether or not they knew New Testament teachings in the OT, but on whether or not God has decreed for all time in the NT what is correct and right and good. On that basis, if it is right to obey your husband now, it was always right whether Vashti new it was right or not, and her not knowing it was right would not excuse her of sin in regard to that, it just shows what a pagan she was. We don't need to speculate, but we can take what the whole counsel of scripture teaches about obeying your husband, or obeying God and apply it to an understanding about whether or not Vashti was wrong or right. blessings abound, bowler |
