God's Name Despised
And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath
not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that
are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus. For this deed of the queen shall come abroad
unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall
be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought
in before him [L'Paniv], but she came not. Likewise shall the
ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto
all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus
shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
Esther 1:16ff (Spoke 17, Cycle 1)
A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I
be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear?
saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein
have we despised thy name? Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye
say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.
And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick,
is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or
accept thy person [Lit. Panikah, Thy Face]?
saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi 1:6ff (Spoke 17, Cycle 2)
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness,
and despise government.
Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not
afraid to speak evil of dignities.
2 Peter 2:10 (Spoke 17, Cycle 3)
The polluted bread God speaks of above in Malachi is the Shewbread (KJV), also known as
the Bread of the Presence (NASB). It was introduced in Exodus 25.30 with these words:

Literally, the Bread the Presence is the Bread of the Face. It is to be L'Pani - Before the LORD -
forever (cf. Before the King). This representation of God's presence in the
form of nourishing Bread is a beautiful pre-image of Christ Jesus the Bread of Life - born in Beyt Lechem,
the House of Bread -
who was yet to come when
God gave this prophetic Type. These symbols are profoundly integrated with the message God gives through
Malachi. The contempt for the bread of God's table is really a contempt for God Himself - they despise Him
to His Face! Thus we find the Face of God hidden below the surface of Malachi on Spoke 17
