power conversation in Heaven’s workshop…



power conversation in Heaven’s workshop…


“…everything is looking great – beautiful greenery; love that color!  and the sky, blue! love that color also.  and the wildlife roaming around on the ground and swimming through the water – absolutely amazing!  the stars!  the … you have really inspired us, God.  Thanks for letting all of us watch.  What’s next?!”

“I will now create my crowning work, ‘man’.  In my own image I will make him, not like the animals I have made up until now.  They are only brute beasts with limited possibilities.  Man can be so much more!”

“What do you have in mind?  Will they be like us?!”

“No.  but, only a little lower, though.  They will be builders, thinkers, poets, musicians, lovers, … so many wonderful opportunities”

“Will they have something like we have with the ‘archangels’?  somebody in charge, organizing and facilitating?  Who will do that?”

“That will be a problem.  I can see that with their freedom will come oppressive irresponsibility.  Remember how your brothers fell.  They too will be plagued with pride and pettiness and positioning and … I am sure that I will have to work with them on that, at some point sending them a ‘suffering servant savior’ as an example of what true power is about.”

“You speak in riddles.  Your ‘crowning act’ of creation is going to unravel?  What will become of them?  What means this ‘savior’ thing?”

“They will grow in number, reproducing.  Then they will begin to position themselves for privilege overpowering the poor and the pitiful.  Some of the pious will protest, but largely to deaf ears.  The privileged and positioned will prey on the others, excusing their actions with one reason or another in their arrogance and ignorance.”

“This is all very confusing!  What means this ‘poor’ and ‘pitiful’?”

“The powerful will hoard the things needed by all, far more than they need for themselves, and the others will struggle just to survive.  They will selfishly …it will get ugly…”

“Then why not give the power to the pious to use for the poor and pitiful?  It is crucial who will have the power?!”

“Power corrupts.  It’s complicated who will really have the power; but, (with a wink) some will know the truth!”
