Vashti’s emotional status or ovary was so busy taking care of her own heart desires, and emotional intuitions,
And she forgot to fulfill the kingdom’s requirements.
Esther 1:1:
The King Dethrones Queen Vashti:
Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this was the Ahasuerus who reigned over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India to Ethiopia),
The King’s feast:
Esther 1:5:
5 And when these days were completed, the king made a feast lasting seven days for all the people who were present in Shushan the citadel,
from great to small, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace.
Vashti’s feast: – BIG Mistake
Esther 1:9:
Queen Vashti also made a feast for the women in the royal palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.
Vashti’s mistake:
In the time when Vashti was supposed to be focusing her emotions of intimacy to toward her king,
Instead;
this became the time she was very busy attending to the emotions of other women who were jealous of her position.
Being in the office of a queen, Vashti’s feast gathered together emotional women,
Who were bringing complaints of fault finding, gossip,
emotional frustrations, disappointment coming from the women’s point of view about the kingdom.
And by the time you know it,
Vashti had turned into an organization which had started developing into a political party full of emotional expressions,
(extreme feminism) that were in opposition against the King’s vision, and aim of the King’s feast.
So when they came to summon her to fulfill the King’s requirement,
she replied back with arrogance and (disrespect) coming from the emotional influence that was nurtured via her own self motivated feast.
