There was once a kingdom in the higher realms, unfathomably higher than the earth. Some of the inhabitants of this kingdom could not bear the scorching light prevalent in this realm. Therefore, they were unconscious and unable to participate in the joyful activity that ensued there. In His unimaginable love the King extended his kingdom to include a lower realm, which was until then devoid of any life, in order to make it possible for these inhabitants to grow strong at a far greater distance from the great light and one day return to the higher realm as fully self-conscious members of society.
Guides were sent ahead of time to prepare this realm for these unconscious inhabitants and to teach them how to live according to the ways of the King. Through the help of the guides, they began to grow conscious of the abilities bestowed upon them. In time, conceit reared its head and some of them began attributing their success to their own intelligence. These few slowly began corrupting the others and the guides were no longer sought after because the inhabitants thought they knew everything better. Centuries of misery, debauchery and war followed.
Seeing the destruction that lay ahead for these people, the King sent prophets to various corners of the lower realm to once again remind them of the way back to the higher realm, which was the sole purpose of the extension of His kingdom. But the evil had become so strong and pervasive that even the prophets’ influence were merely transient. Shortly after the prophets left, the people distorted their teachings and created religions in their name.
Still, some yearned for the knowledge of the King and the way back to Him so for the sake of the few, He sent His Son. The Son of the King, in all His majesty and indescribable power, descended to the lower realm to show the way out of the darkness. However, His great love was returned with hatred. He, who came out of love from the highest of heights, was brutally killed by the little people of the lower realm.
And yet, The King still leaves the door open for those of the lower realm who honestly strive to live according to His Word. Despite the continual failure of the undeserving people who for millennia have mostly spread only destruction, He still allows them breathe.
