A Passover Parable
Chief Thracian
(a parable for the 21st century)
(c) 2000 by Ezekiel J. Krahlin
(Jehovah's Queer Witness)
Imagine this unpleasant scene: A guardian angel who loves a person so
much appears before that person to make his life a living miracle. But
that person--let's call him Ishmael--takes his angel's appearance for
granted, being the spoiled brat his parents turned him into. So he
taunts the angel, lies to hurt his feelings, even beats and kicks him
whenever he feels like it, just like he does to Ol' Dawg.
Ishmael keeps shutting him up, before the angel can explain to him of
Our Father's Love and all the Wondrous Things that life can be if you
only open your heart. So the angel pleads and pleads and pleads...but
all to no avail, so that, after a number of terrible months without a
single breakthrough, the angel realizes he's accomplished his mission
as best as possible, and must now make himself invisible to this
person, once more.
Yet this terrible heartbreak suffered by this angel does not stop him
from continuing his mission--albeit invisible--by pleading and
pleading and pleading and PLEADING until that Day of Triumph comes,
and come it will. In fact, the angel never skips a beat in his
devotion to a soul...for he knows how truly blessed he is, and that it
is all a celebration even in the darkest hour. For it is in that
darkest hour only, that the angel can finally take center stage, and
sing out his heart to God. And in so doing, create a golden chord of
brotherly love that unites himself, the guardian angel, to this
person.
And the angel need only be yanked down once, before he uses his wings.
Yep, you gotta be A-1 tiptop absolute BEST soldier to score that high!
A perfect score, in fact. (And does this foolish person get pulled up
with his angel, or does the chord break to leave the angel unfettered
from any more pain? That, I believe, depends on whether or not Ishmael
has a change of heart, and if it comes soon enough to make a
difference.)
Now, you're probably thinking: "Yes, that does sadden me, as I know
there are all too many people in this world who are just like that
nasty Ishmael!" And as if by an afterthought, you boast: "Thank God
I'm not like that. I'd NEVER harm an angel!"
Oh, you wouldn't would you? Before you think so smug of yourself,
answer me this:
"Do you like gay people; that is: homosexuals?"
And your answer to that single question ALONE, will tell you for sure,
whether or not you are also an Ishmael. And God shall pass His
judgment upon you, accordingly. Let this parable be spoken in every
tongue, in every nation, and in every home. Blessed be. And may The
Angel of Justice pass you over.
