Queen Esther informs Mordecai that it would mean death for her to enter the king’s presence.

 “Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a command for Mordecai: “All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that any man or woman who goes into the inner court to the king, who has not been called, he has but one law: put all to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter, that he may live. Yet I myself have not been called to go in to the king these thirty days.” Esther 4:10-11

Queen Esther sent a message to Mordecai that she wanted to tell her husband, the king, about Haman’s plan to kill the Jews, who were her own people. But she feared he would execute her. The king did not allow anyone to enter the inner court unless he summoned them. Esther was just another object to the king, who lacked any emotional bond or tenderness for her. He was a narcissistic and grandiose person, who judged people by their usefulness and loyalty to him. If she seemed disloyal or made a mockery of his will, the king would not have hesitated to ruin her life or kill her like any other of his possessions.

“So they told Mordecai Esther’s words.” Esther 4:12

A common theme in the Bible is the inner court, a sacred place where God dwells. The inner court represents our soul, where anyone can access God’s presence through Jesus Christ. The Bible calls us the temple of God or the temple of the Holy Spirit. In contrast, king Ahasuerus forbade anyone from entering his inner court, or else they would face death, unless he held out his scepter to them. This mirrors our situation in this world, under the global government of the beast.

Today, there is the entity “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”. He resides in the temple of our body by the entity giving people what to say, do, think, and feel. No one can enter the temple unless this entity extends its scepter to them, which signifies empowerment through their thoughts, feelings, words and deeds. This entity refuses entry into the temple through Jesus Christ although we are created to be the home of the Holy Spirit, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16

The global culture lives by the entity reaching its scepter to them by giving them their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. It supplants the human conscience as it enlivens the image of the beast to live and speak through people. Traits of psychopathy flourish in the absence of human conscience, which forms a worldwide army to prevent access to the inner court. People in every city around the world conform to the anti-Christian culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The masses of the global culture prevent people from accessing the inner court into the presence of God’s Spirit, as they elevate their will above God’s will and kill the belief in God’s existence. They are indifferent and feel no guilt or remorse in blocking others from accessing the inner court of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus. They reject the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ as they kill His Gospel. They do not regard the Holy Spirit as someone who can fill the human spirit and soul, but as someone they need to oppress and kill.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
