3610. A person in my position is obviously required to give
events like that some serious thought. I know that you, not being of royal blood
will probably start thinking that the execution of a king is a simple proof
that the king was not actually ruling by divine right in reality. Anyone ruling
by diving right could expect to also receive divine protection. Therefore you
might jump to the conclusion that the king must have been an imposter.
3611. Just think of the complex, unsolvable issues such a
thought entails. A king may be an imposter, and yet not even know he is an imposter.
Do you remember your own birth? Obviously you do not. The fact that we do not
remember our birth means that anyone might perhaps be an imposter of himself.
3612. In my estimation God is required to protect, and look
after the welfare of all kings and that includes the imposters, because if He
starts ignoring the imposters, what are people to think. The entire edifice of
the divine right of kings comes crashing down and the people will surely begin
to lose confidence in it.
3613. Thousands of years of human history can be thrown into
the trash heap by a few well-placed bombs that blow the contents of the royal carriages
to Kingdom come. But, sadly, I have to confess; those bombs have already been
thrown.
