Louie kneeled but noticed that some people on the left were not.
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. He pointed to 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 cried back " No Lord No".
" I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink". Jesus paused. " I was naked and you did not clothe me, I was in prison and you did not visit me.
The masses on his left again cried out " when did all these 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 on the platform chair. " My Father has given me authority to execute judgment and my judgment is righteousness".
The masses to his left pleaded " No Lord No".
Jesus, with tears in his eyes, raised one finger and a chasm to the left of the platform opened wide. Those on the left fell in cursing and yelling. Just as quickly, the ground closed and returned to normal.
