The Parable of the 3 Waiting Servants

The Kingdom of Yah is like this, 3 servants of the King of a foreign land were dwelling in a nearby town when they received a warning through the King’s messenger that a vicious army was coming to destroy the town and all its inhabitants and that they must leave the town immediately. The 3 servants were instructed to wait on the tallest mountain just outside of the town until their escort arrived to take them back to their kingdom. The 3 Servants packed up some small belongings and set up tents on the mountain outside of the town while they waited for their escort to take them back to their kingdom.

After 3 months of waiting, the first servant no longer believed that there was an escort coming and so he decided to find his own way back to their kingdom. The other 2 servants pleaded with him to wait with them longer, but he refused and ventured out on his journey alone. After 3 more months of waiting, the 2nd servant no longer believed that there was a vicious army coming and so he decided to return to the town and resume his life there. The 3rd servant pleaded with him to wait with him longer but he refused and began traveling back towards the town.

After 3 more months had past the escort appeared on the mountain where the 3rd servant was waiting. The escort instructed the servant saying, “come with me to the place I have prepared for you, for a vicious army is coming to destroy this town which you have left, and all of its inhabitants.” As they traveled to their kingdom, a vicious army was quickly approaching the town. While in route, the army found and killed the first servant who had gotten lost on his journey back to his kingdom. When the vicious army arrived at the town, they destroyed all of its inhabitants and the 2nd servant was killed there also. But the 3rd servant was safely escorted back to their kingdom and upon his arrival attended a celebratory feast with the King.
