Story
3 – Righteous Justice
Among the people in the King’s Kingdom,
there lies a band of traitors. The King went into one of His many Churches and
tore the place apart. All the expertly made statues, paintings, and architecture were torn apart to reveal drugs, pornographic material, and other funds that
the traitors made on the side to make themselves rich. The King then broke
apart the floors to reveal a hidden stairway that led to a basement where the products
were made. No one was in the basement as they heard that the King was on to
their evil deeds, so they left before He arrived. When they came back, they
acted as if nothing happened.
“What happened here, my King?” one
of them asked.
With one swipe of His sword, the
King cut down all five of the traitors. A few hours later the guards that the
King tasked in finding more traitors brought Him four guilty people.
“My Lord, I have done great things
for you. Surely, you can excuse-” the priest said before he cut down.
“Just execute me. I know what I
deserve,” the man said before he was killed as well.
“Please! I didn’t do anything wrong!
You’re just mistake-” the woman said before she was cut in two.
The last man knelt silently.
As the King held the sword over the
man’s head, he said, “Let thy will be done, not by my word, but thy word.”
The man’s words gave the King
pause. The King then put away His sword, forgave the man of his crimes, and
then gave him a penance to pay for his sins. Most of the traitors were dealt
with except for the ones that escaped the Kingdom, but they were far from
justice. The King’s dove flew after them and decapitated them. Some of them sought
shelter under caves only to realize the King’s snake was hiding in their
supplies and products and made quick work of them. Four out of every five sets
of customers of the traitors’ tainted products were executed once they were all
rounded up.
Another story of the King’s justice
happened in a recent war between two kingdoms. One was favored by the King
while the other wasn’t. The kingdom that
was favored was explicitly told not to involve themselves in the practices of
the other kingdoms nor were they supposed to bother with their philosophy other
than using the King’s wisdom to prove that it was false. Curiosity got to them
and the kingdom involved themselves with the other kingdoms and even became
friendly with them. Despite the number of messengers that the King sent to them
to tell them to stop, the kingdom refused.
The kingdom went to battle one day
with another. On that day, the King’s army joined the battle, but it wasn’t to
help, it was to destroy both armies. After that, the King destroyed both
kingdoms and their allies. None survived. None were saved. The burning and noxious
regions where the kingdoms stood are testaments to those who choose to actively
disobey the King of Kings.
In contrast, there was a war were
the enemies of the King submitted themselves to Him once they realized who He
was. The allies of the King took advantage of their penitential status by
heavily taxing them, not paying them enough for their labor, and even taking
whatever people they wanted to either be their bride or groom. Those who took advantage
of the penitent were strongly punished as those who were in power became
powerless and those without power became powerful. As a result, the kingdom who
was penitential became one of the King’s most trusted and formidable allies while
the others who took advantage of them in their time of need were cut off
completely.
There are many examples of sinners
trying to get away with their sins. On one occasion, there was a holy man who
was about to die and go to Heaven, but he thought he could think a lustful
thought and get away with it. Once he thought it, he killed his soul and was immediately
sent to Hell with no witness in Heaven who could excuse his action. Another
woman thought her good deeds could excuse her behavior towards an unfortunate
woman who just entered the Kingdom. This unfortunate woman was allowed in and
didn’t know how to get to the King’s castle because of the many streets and how
expansive the Kingdom was, so she asked a woman for directions.
“How may I get to the castle? I’ve
just arrived and would like to talk to the king,” the unfortunate woman said.
“Go straight, take a left, then go
straight ahead. That street should lead you straight to the King’s castle,” the
other woman said.
“Okay, thank you so much for your
help!”
Unfortunately, the path the woman
took lead her to a waterway within the Kingdom with no other path forward.
Before she could turn around, the woman she took directions from pushed her
into the waterway.
“I know you, trash, from the outside!
You should learn your place and stay out of here!” the woman said.
The unfortunate woman was swept
away by the waterway that pushed her out of the Kingdom and into a lake. As she
struggled to pull herself out of the lake, the King found her and pulled her
out. She was brought to the King’s castle and given a place in His castle while
the uncharitable woman was deprived of all her possessions and her penance was
to be her servant for a set number of years. In another case, there was a proud
man who loved how good he was at following the King’s law. He went to
confession only once per month, unlike most others who had to go once per two weeks.
He went to daily celebrations for the King and did several devotions for Him.
A wandering man was allowed into
the Kingdom and came across the proud man. It was obvious that he had just repented
from his sins and was seeking help. Knowing how repentant sinners are valued
more than the proud, the proud man feigned to help the repented man by teaching
him false lessons, so when the repented man talked to the King, he talked sinfully.
Both the repented man and the proud man were punished as a result. For their
penance, they were to make something for the King with the materials they were provided.
Since the proud man was educated, he made an eye-catching gift while the
repented man made something simpler but filled with love and appreciation
something that the proud man’s gift lacked. The repentant man’s gift was
accepted by the King while the proud man’s gift was destroyed. Enraged by this,
the proud man used parts of his destroyed gift to try to attack the repentant
man, but as he attacked, the King stopped his hands, which made the man’s arms
fall off. The proud man was left in jail to do penance while the repentant man was
given his possessions, his job, and more.
