Hamon and Xerexes as two interesting people. Hamon is a follower of his heritage and so hates the Jews. Not because anyone of them has done anything outrageous to him but because it is as it should be, in his belief. The king, who should be a leader is really a follower of Hamon (or confusion, chaos and the author of that is always the devil himself! So everything is very backwards. Just like being friendly towards your neighbor one day, and then the next day they are dead only because of their heritage. So this is an early view of racism. I don`t believe God is happy with the person who initiates the racism or the people who continue and encourage it (you can put any sin in there you want.
So what to do when we are hurt by another? Perhaps as when we are in the Pit with Jacob, the only way to manage is to look up. To look any other way is very defeating and non productive.
Still, in God`s time and in his way we will get out of the Pit. Have a good week everyone.
