An Application
In EZR 5:10-11, Gov. Tattenai and his pagan colleagues probably thought the Jew's words would condemn themselves. Talking to the emperor about the "God of Heaven and Earth." "Ha!" they probably thought. But they were forgetting one important detail: the Jews were right. We too, will be criticized for our faith (2TI 3:12-14) but God is bigger, even if it doesn't work out in our favor in this life (LK 12:5).
Connect the Dots
Compare EZR 5:3 to EX 2:14. Ecbatana (EZR 6:2) now called Hamedan, is about 670 KM (416 mi) northeast of Babylon and 450 KM (280 mi) north of Susa. Susa is about 475 KM east of Babylon. / Ecbatana/Hamedan has claim today to Esther & Mordecai's tomb (see map below).
