I am not sure I would call Queen Vashti rebellious. I was always sort of on her side. She was called in to “dance” for a bunch of guests, the implication is like a strip tease or sexual performance, which I would have refused too!
Perhaps I misunderstand but I don’t think you are to obey your husband if he commands you to do that.
I agree with you entirely. Nevertheless, she did defy and rebel—I leave it up to the viewer whether she had sufficient justification.
I suppose one might also make the case that Rachel was merely trying to rescue Laban from idol-worship, or that Mrs. Job was simply trying to spare Job from needless suffering.
Well, without Queen Vashti’s rebellion (no matter the reason), we would not have Esther.
Again, everything happening according to God’s purpose.
