The Parable Of The Wise

And Considerate King

By

The Twelve Apostles

The Parable
Next day the multitudes were surging through the temple courts, intent on hearing Jesus speak. And when He came the people said, “All hail! behold the king!” And Jesus spoke a parable; he said, “A king had vast domains; his people all were kin, and lived in peace. Now, after many years the king said to his people, ‘Take these lands and all I have; enhance their values; rule yourselves, and live in peace.’ And then the people formed their states; selected governors and petty kings.

But pride, ambition, selfish greed, and base ingratitude grew fast, and kings began to war. They wrote in all their statute books, respective constitutions, that might is right; and then the strong destroyed the weak, and chaos reigned through all the vast domain. A long time passed, and then the king looked out on his domain. He saw his people in their cruel wars; he saw them sick and sore distressed; he saw the strong enslave the weak,
And then he said,

‘What shall I do?

Shall I send forth a scourge?

Shall I destroy my people all?’

“And then his heart was stirred with pity and he said, ‘I will not send a scourge; I will send forth my only son, heir to the throne, to teach the people love, and peace, and righteousness. He sent his son; the people scorned him and maltreated him, and nailed him to a cross. He was entombed; but death was far too weak to hold the prince, and he arose.

“He took a form man could not kill; and then he went again to teach the people love, and peace and righteousness (the coming Millenium Reign of Jesus Christ, DivineBase Ministry in future).And thus God deals with men.”
