Joshua reaches the ruined Temple Mount as Jesus Christ stands above the kneeling devil. Broken stones surround them, while smoke drifts through the silent court.
the Devil
You have permitted their suffering, King of Ages. Their fear, their doubt, and their ruin will remain as my kingdom among them.
Jesus Christ
You mistake judgment for victory. Israel’s ruins do not belong to you, and the hearts that call upon me remain beyond your dominion.
A clear radiance spreads from Christ across the shattered mount. The darkness around the devil contracts, while the surviving believers and the Israelite priest remain at a distance, watching.
the Israelite priest
If this is the judgment of the one true king, then show us what remains for Israel. The sanctuary is broken, and our people are scattered.
the heavenly warrior
The faithful will be gathered from the ruin, but none will mistake survival for innocence. Let every witness hear the sentence spoken over the deceiver.
Jesus Christ
Devil, your claim over these people ends here. You will be cast from their midst, and the remnant will choose whether to follow truth when the judgment has passed.
“(Jesus command a great white throne from heaven and sits on it in glory. He then sorts the faithful from the unfaithful.”
FAILURE (Legendary Willpower, rolled -2)
Joshua rushes onto the ruined Temple Mount and raises his hands toward Jesus Christ. Above the broken sanctuary, heaven opens in a vast white radiance.
A great white throne descends through the light. Jesus Christ takes his seat in glory, yet the shattered stones offer no ordered court for the living remnant.
Jesus Christ
Let every heart stand before truth. No human voice shall divide the faithful from the unfaithful in my place.
The gathered Israelites and believers shift as one crowd. Some kneel, some remain upright, and many whisper prayers to God, but no visible boundary separates them.
The throne’s radiance passes over every face without sorting anyone. It reveals fear, conviction, and uncertainty, but leaves judgment unfinished in mortal sight.
Jesus Christ
This remnant will not be divided by spectacle. Each person must answer before God, and the day of final judgment belongs to him alone.
The throne rises back into heaven with Christ upon it. The survivors remain among the ruins, no longer awaiting Joshua to separate them, while the tale closes beneath a silent sky.
