The King's Betrayal: A Story About The Immoral Polygamist Who Was Given A Powerful Government Job
"How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?" — Psalm 82:2
The nation reeled in shock. The President, a man who publicly declared his devotion to the Bible, had just appointed an open and unrepentant polygamist—Thomas Calloway—to one of the highest offices in the land.
Calloway was not just any man. He was notorious. He had paraded his immorality for decades, boasting about the four women he called “wives” and the fourteen children he had sired. While good, faithful men and women were shunned, silenced, or cast aside, this man—a man whose life mocked everything the Bible upheld—was being given power, wealth, and influence beyond measure.
The hypocrisy was unbearable.
"You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous." — Deuteronomy 16:19
Among those most outraged was Daniel Cohen, a journalist known for his unrelenting pursuit of truth. He had exposed corruption before, but nothing compared to this. He remembered when the President spoke of family values, of righteousness, of fearing God. Now, the same man who claimed to uphold the Torah and the words of Yeshua had elevated a vile, lawless man to a position of great power.
Daniel’s instincts told him there was more to this story. It wasn’t just about the appointment—it was about why.

The Secret That Could Shake the Nation
One evening, Daniel received a cryptic message:
"If you want the truth about Calloway, come to 1147 Judah Street. Midnight. No phones. No cameras."
Daniel hesitated. This wasn’t his first anonymous tip, but something about this one felt different. Dangerous.
At exactly midnight, he arrived at the abandoned warehouse on Judah Street. A single lantern flickered inside. Stepping cautiously over the threshold, he saw a figure cloaked in darkness.
The man’s voice was low and urgent. “They’re hiding something.”
Daniel narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean?”
“The President didn’t appoint Calloway just because he’s immoral. He appointed him because he’s useful. Calloway controls powerful people—wealthy men who engage in the same wickedness he does. His appointment is a shield, a promise that their sins will remain hidden.”
Daniel’s pulse quickened. “Who are these men?”
The figure slid a folder across the table. “Read this. But be careful. The ones who reward evil are more ruthless than the ones who commit it.”
Daniel opened the folder and felt the breath leave his lungs. Names. Bank records. Flight logs to secret locations. Leaders of the nation, influential men, all connected to Calloway.
The President wasn’t just tolerating evil—he was in league with it.
"Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; desolation and destruction are in their highways." — Isaiah 59:7

The Battle for Truth
The next morning, Daniel published the exposé, detailing how Calloway’s promotion was not just an act of hypocrisy but a calculated move to protect the sins of powerful men.
The response was immediate. Some were enraged, others dismissive. The President’s advisors rushed to defend him, calling Daniel’s report an attack on “God’s anointed.”
But the people weren’t blind. They saw the deception, the blatant disregard for righteousness.
And then, Eleanor Whitman, the President’s former spiritual advisor, stepped forward.
With fire in her eyes and a Bible in her hand, she took the podium before the nation and declared:
"This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me." — Matthew 15:8
She continued, her voice trembling with righteous fury. “A man who defies the commandments of God—who boasts of his immorality—is lifted up while the righteous are cast down! How long will we allow this? The Lord sees, and He will not be mocked!”
Her words sent shockwaves through the country.
Within days, protests erupted. Questions flooded the airwaves. Why had Calloway truly been appointed? Why was the President surrounding himself with wicked men?
Under pressure, the administration scrambled. Their once-unshakable foundation of deception was crumbling.
But it wasn’t over yet.
Late one night, as Daniel sat in his office reviewing documents, he heard a noise at his door. A single envelope had been slipped under it.
Opening it, he found only one sentence written inside:
"The truth is deeper than you think. Keep digging."
The war was not yet won. But justice was coming.
"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan." — Proverbs 29:2
And the people were groaning.
But soon, they would rise.
