Louie kneeled but noticed that some people to Jesus's left were standing and not kneeling. The archangel raised an outstretched arm to quiet the masses. " The time has come to avenge the blood of the martyrs".
Jesus cried out in a loud voice ' the time has come to reward my faithful servants and to punish those who have harmed them".
Those on Jesus's left began to shout ' Jesus is the Christ, Jesus is the Christ".
Jesus stood up and walked to the left edge of the platform. With anger and sadness in his voice, he pointed toward those on his left. " Depart from me you cursed into the everlasting fire I have prepared for the devil and his angels".
The masses on the left yelled back " No Lord No".
" I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was naked and you did not clothe me, I was in prison and you did not visit me".
The masses on the left yelled again " when did all these things happen?".
" When you did not do it to the least of these" he said as he pointed to those on his right. " You did not do it to me".
The masses on the left yelled again " we love you Lord, we do love you".
Jesus sat down in his altar chair. " My Father has given me authority to execute judgement and my judgement is righteousness".
The masses on the left got down on their knees and pleaded " No! Lord No!".
Jesus, with tears in his eyes, raised one finger and a chasm to the left of the platform opened wide. Everyone to the left of the platform fell in cursing and yelling. Just as quickly, the ground closed and returned to normal.
