Comment: This is a decent secular exposition of the Purim story for Bible novices -- something one may see on the History channel.

 

The Biblical Book of Esther is a great read, filled with life applications and evidence of God's providence over his people.

I'm surprised the resident atheists haven't shown up trying to discount the story.

Thanks for taking the time and posting.

 

It's Purim. They are afraid. Wait until tomorrow.

 

Great precept in this story.
The pendulum swings like the gallows.

My hope is in Yahweh, He is sure.
The serpent on the stake straitens things out.

Undoubtedly the precept goes as far back as the cursed tree.
(Speaking in a Hegelian manner of course.)


Allah is fickle because that prince of Persia is a demon. Dicey Islam!

How Machiavellian!

 

Tried to mix up the sarcasm with knife edge thrusts ...

 

Thanks for telling me. Now I won't approach you without donning my kevlar body vest beforehand.
