I heard this d'var torah re: the Asoroh harugei malchus>
The angelds ask "zo sorah, vzo s'charah?"
HKBH asnwers if you do not accept it I will unravel the universe to Tohu
vavohu!  Why?

Mashal:
The stroy is told of a King who entrusted his friend the tailor with a bolt
of expensive material in order to make for him a robe. He cut and tailored a
magnificent robe. Those jealous of him claimed that while the robe is
indeed  beautiful, the tailor had lined his own pockets with "waste"
materials.  The king was upset. He then challenged his friend the tailor to
prove his innocence!  The tailor answered: " I can certainly prove my
innocence by showing that no material was wasted BUT it will necessitate
unraveling the king's robe!"  The king ordered him to do so and the tailor
was able to dis-assemble the robe and re-create the original bolt by pasting
it together piece by piece.

Thus we see the ONLY way to "GET" God's justice is to unroll ALL of history
to the beginning!  But that would undo the entire world!

So that re-inforces my call upon Rabbis [or others!] to refrain from
pontificating about God's judgments because this story clearly illustrates
OUR inadequacies re: Shlavas Resha'im and Yissure Taddikkim. It is beyond
our ken!
