You asked for a lesson? Yet, you don’t pay attention to the words I say. This is for you. I already know the end.

The king plead, “how do I help those who do not believe? They rise up against…..Us, our oath and our kind.”
197 patiently smiled and replied with the gift of Anoch’s voice and Anoch’s wisdom. At day break the king took this gift to his people and said the words as if they were his own. The king watched from on high and they submitted before the knowledge. Humbled by the power and truth.
By the Light.
An attendant and witness ran back to the old and frail bedridden keeper of the gate.
“The king, he has spoken the words as if they were his very own. How are we to punish this betrayer of our truth?”
197 patiently once again patiently smiled.
“Betrayers of our truth have been with us since the beginning. These lesser men twist their words and motivations to the masses, they do not listen.”
The keeper of the gate continued.
“Our king is no betrayer of truth.”
The attendant questioned, “how can you say so?”
“Did he listen?” asked 197.
“Yes.”
“Did he say the words as he was told, did he say the words true?”
“Yes.”
“Could I, weak of voice and body have said the words as well?”
The attendant was taken aback, but answered truthfully.
“No. He delivered the message with a strong voice and body.”
The keeper of the gate was pleased and explained to the boy: “It matters not who says the words, as long as the light is delivered by those whom the people can hear best. This is why I told the king to say them as if they were his own. Glory be.”
