The Bride’s Eunuch Ministers

T his book is primarily focused upon the Bride of Christ, but it is prudent to take a brief
look at those who are called as ministers to prepare the Bride. The way in which these

ministers perform their service will greatly impact the preparation of the Bride. The book
of Esther contains a type of these last days ministers. They are represented by Hegai, who

was an eunuch in the service of King Ahasuerus.
Hegai’s responsibilities were very similar to the description given to those ministers

whom Yahshua gave to the body of Christ to bring her to maturity and fulness of stature.

Ephesians 4:11-13

and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of

service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the
faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of

the stature which belongs to the fulness of Christ.

We see here that God’s ministers are equippers and are called to a work of building

up, or preparing the body of Christ. This was Hegai’s duty as well. Hegai was charged with
preparing the young virgins to meet the king in a most intimate manner. He was to equip

them with the manners, behavior, and mindset of those called to intimacy with the king.
The Apostle Paul recognized this calling on his life.

II Corinthians 11:2
For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband,

Paul was an apostle, and he states that Christ gave apostles, as well as the other
ministers mentioned, to perform a function in preparing the body of Christ to fulfill its

calling and to come to maturity and the fulness of the stature of Christ. This calling on the

body is too easily glanced over, so it won’t hurt to restate it. The body of Christ is called to
