Theological / Devotional

When Human saw. Mordecai’s disrespect apparently came to Hainan’s attention only through the “king’s servants.” Mordecai’s attitude and explanation meant that Jews everywhere stood opposed to Hainan. Mordecai’s apparent defiance, boldly displayed at the very gate of the palace, could mean but one thing to Hainan — conspiracy! At least, Hainan was pleased to interpret it so. And if Mordecai justified his course on a religious basis, all who held that religion must therefore be involved also.
