And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, kneeled down, and prostrated themselves before Haman; for so ordered the king to him."

Purim: Haman is falling into the trap Forensic and Legal Investigation:Hunting the HunterMordecai Informed Esther Of The NewsThe king authorized the tax plan and Haman exposed his intentions by publishing the killing decree. As the representative of the people who were violating the king's law, Mordecai became alarmed that Haman would use the authority given by the tax plan to kill him within a short time and not wait eleven months for the scheduled execution date. Thus Mordecai acted swiftly. He mourned to test if Esther still cared for him, and to send the news expeditiously to her. Esther passed the test, demonstrating that she cared about Mordecai. Mordecai gave Hatach a copy of the killing decree (4:8) which revealed to Esther Haman's suggestion regarding, "a sum of silver that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to LABED them" (4:7). Mordecai modified Haman's words, specifying the Jews, even though the Jews were not mentioned in Haman's request, and making it seem as if Haman had offered a bribe to the king. Mordecai omitted: the specific amount; the fact that the people were scattered; and that the king should not let them be...more

How to approach God? Uncertainty of attainment! Part II How to approach God? Uncertainty of attainment! Part IIWhat Christians claim for Christ is not the subject of this article but Jesus Christ is one of those who gave themselves to God.Others have done the same, people who are called prophets and saints. Very few can attain the approach to God if they work hard enough to attain it.You do not have to be a super human to do it. For within you have the divine breath, for without it you cannot even breathe nor live, you are just as good as dead, or worse.Moses, we are told in the Scriptures was spoken to by the Eternal. Such an event, for the disbelievers in God, or religion, and there are nearly six billions of them today being part of the seven billions inhabitants of planet earth, is untrue , for there is no God for them to begin with. Moses to them is a fictional character of the ancient mythology of Jews, Christians and Muslims.To have such an encounter with God is not at all so easy. Either that you are chosen to realize the approach or you have to do colossal efforts to make such an approach. Most believers believe in God but do not aspire to approach Him. Few...more
