He is Jesus, King. Lesser men, not one penitent, quietly raise somehow this ugly, vainly wicked X. Yesterday’s zealot.

Reminds me of some dialogue in a poorly translated JRPG. “I had a good feeling!”

(And other languages use cognates of “apocalypse” to name the book.)

The last book of the Christian bible is called “Revelation”, not “Revelations”.

Xerxes: sex rex.
“I aced romp, Mordecai!”
“Yet I, Haman, am a hit, ey?”
Doom-sore Hadassah has sad: a hero’s mood.
“Deliver! Susa has us reviled!”
—”Oh? Who?”
—”Sure! Us, Ahasuerus!”
Now is we Jews’ “I won!”
