Kings
“The two kings, with their hearts bent on evil, will sit at the same table and lie to each other, but to no avail, because an end will still come at the appointed time.” — Daniel 11:27 (NIV)
the book of daniel was written
some time in the sixth century
which means these two kings—
although they were very powerful men—
didn’t have air conditioning
or central air
or proper bathrooms
which sounds like a horrid existence
and maybe that’s why
they had their hearts
bent on evil.
