He left for a time and left the kingdom in charge with his sons and daughters. He was gone so long His sons forgot how good their Father was.
They ruled the kingdom as they thought their Father would have examining the law and ruling over the land until the king returned.
There came a time when men and woman were thrown into prison for breaking the law.
It was written than men should not wear women’s garments or women’s the men’s .
The time came when people grew to be so confused and didn’t know who they were anymore. Men wanted to marry men and women wanted to marry women. Men put on women’s clothes and women put men’s clothes. Those who were caught were thrown into prison .
It was not a part of this customs in the kingdom to practice such things and was not to be associated with other kingdoms that practiced them.
One Son slapped the prisoners across the face. Another came by and spoke harsh words to the prisoners.
Another son came and kicked him while he was down and yet another one came and said My Father hates you. Hates what you have done and when he comes back He will deal with you so severely and leave in you in these dungeons to rot and die.
One son remembered how good His Father was as He was not originally apart of the royal family but had been adopted. His parents owed a tremendous debt to the king and couldn’t pay and when the parents died the king took the child in as his own.
Instead of working as a slave or a servant in the king’s palace, the king gave the best garments, the best choice foods and all the King had belonged to him.
He was always different from his brothers of royal blood in every way but he knew how much the king loved him.
This son loved the King so much; even more than the His other sons because of what the king had done for him. He thought to himself, if the king could love me he would surely not treat the prisoners this way as my other brothers do.
Cross dressers grew to fear the king and despise Him. They plotted to kill him. On the day he returned one of the prisoners was filled with so much hate and bitterness because of all that was done to him. He attacked the king and the guards had to put the prisoner to death to defend the king. When the other prisoners saw the king began to weep for the dead prisoner as If he were one of his own;
The realized they how much love, mercy & kindness in his heart there was.
Some realized the king had compassion on them and never hated them. The king turned to prisoners and set them free, he blessed them and said My love has set you free.
They were filled with so much love for the king & wanted to please the King in every way. Theyy started to dress according their gender but some just grew to hate the king more because of the prisoner’s death at the hands of the guards.
The son saw the error in the hearts of the people and said if I return to where I came outside of my Father’s Palace perhaps they will listen to me and see How good the king is. The King told His son go and tell them of my mercy so they do not end up like those that go against the King for anyone who lifts his hand against the king the guards will kill.
In order to turn the hearts of the rebellious people the son thought perhaps if I put on a dress and look like them and tell them how good the King is they will listen and forget the plot to make war against the king.
The Son knew he could never lose his father’s love dawned women’s clothes left the palace and said to himself if they knew how good the King is they will love him the way I do. If my brothers catch me dressed like this they will throw me into prison and treat me as harshly as they did the prisoners and forget i am their brother. So,
he left the palace at night into the darkness to stir the hearts of the people back the King.
