The Courtroom of Eternity

Picture this: we all file into a grand cosmic courtroom, bigger than any cathedral or parliament ever built. The ceiling stretches beyond galaxies, the floor polished with something brighter than glass, and at the center sits the Judge. Of course, the Judge is God Himself — who else could it be? He is who He is. The gavel is His thunder, the silence in the room His command.

But here’s where the twist begins: God isn’t just Judge; He’s also standing in the dock as the Accused. Yes, you read that right. The Prosecutor? Lucifer. The fallen angel who once knew the Judge personally, who had access to the throne room, who now has the audacity to file a case against the very One who made him.

The charges?

• Mismanagement of creation.

• Unfair favoritism toward humans.

• Setting laws He doesn’t seem to obey Himself.

• And above all: creating beings with freedom of choice, then daring to hold them accountable when they misuse it.

The courtroom audience gasps — some in disbelief, some in agreement. After all, haven’t we all whispered similar doubts late at night?

Now, here’s the real kicker: we, humanity, are the jury. Yes, atheists, believers, skeptics, armchair philosophers, TikTok prophets, church-goers, scientists, shamans — everyone. The case outcome, in a sense, rests on us. God, the ultimate Judge, can dismiss the case at any time, of course. He could thunder, “Case closed!” and that would be the end of it. But instead, like a wise teacher, He lets it play out. Because if there’s one thing He’s proving, it’s that His law isn’t about force; it’s about justice, peace, and thriving.

And so the trial begins.

• Lucifer paces the courtroom like a slick lawyer, suit sharp as obsidian, voice dripping with mock sincerity. He calls witnesses: war, famine, disease, corruption — each pointing an accusing finger at the Creator.

• God? He doesn’t yell or argue. Sometimes He just smiles. Sometimes He answers a question with another question. Sometimes He points to us, the jury, as if to say: “They are the evidence.”

• The Jury sits confused. Some nod with Lucifer, some feel uncomfortable at his logic, others cling to the idea that maybe the Judge knows what He’s doing.

And what of the audience? It’s no passive crowd. They murmur, they debate, they cheer, they boo — like spectators at a courtroom drama or even a football match. Every culture, every worldview, every doubt and belief is in that room.

The tension rises. Is the Judge guilty of mismanaging His creation? Or is this entire case the grandest scheme of all — a divine drama to show us what justice really looks like?

One thing is clear: this isn’t just His trial. It’s our trial too. Because if the Judge falls, so does the jury. And if the Judge stands, we must decide if we’re standing with Him. So what will it be people ?
