I understand

WV: I understand that you are looking perhaps for Bro. Russell having written about Esther typing something. I did find that C.W. Woodworth had an entry in a Reprint as follows and this is perhaps what you referred to earlier.

R4018, page 199 TYPES IN THE BOOK ESTHER

Permit me to suggest that Ahasuerus, meaning "King," is a type of the "Sun," Christ; that Vashti typifies those that were bidden to the feast and would not come; that Esther, meaning "The Planet Venus," typifies the Bride of Christ (Venus is the most glorious of all our planets, reflecting more of the rays of the sun); that Mordecai the Jew, meaning "Dedicated to Mars," typifies the Ancient Worthies (Mars is, I believe, nearer to the earth than any other planet, and is between it and the sun); and lastly that Haman, the Agagite, the last Amalekite mentioned in the Scriptures (see last sentence of Young's Concordance, article "Amalekite"), typifies the class that tries to take the power out of the hands of the Ancient Worthies in the end of the Millennial Age. Please take a mental review of the story of Esther, and see how well this picture fits. If this application is correct, the meaning of the word Mordecai would be one more suggestion in line with your present thought that the Ancient Worthies may, after the close of the Millennial Age, attain heavenly honors and stations.

I seriously doubt that Pastor Russell would have allowed this to appear in publication without his sanctioning the content. There are no comments made by Bro. Russell as to his disagreement with the thoughts given. I guess that you could say that though Pastor did not give the thoughts as to the types in the book of Esther, he nevertheless seems to have agreed with the.

Again, you will find much more abouth Esther and types in Bro. Johnson's Epiphany volume 10.
