In Part 2, I briefly discussed the
concept that the descendants of David were to receive their coronation upon the
stone of Israel, and they will continue to this day. Many Judeo-Christians believe that the Davidic line
in Judah ended when the Babylonians conquered the Southern tribe of
Judah. This Babylonian invasion resulted with the death of King Zedekiah (the last king of Judah), and his sons Jeremiah 39:4-7. If this
were true that indeed it ended, then the Davidic line would have only lasted about 500
years. However, we know that the Father keeps his word and that a
descendant of David will be on the throne of Israel until the return
of the Messiah. This was prophesied in Jeremiah 33:17-26. Students of History will also know that the
Southern tribe of Judah was taken into captivity beginning in 604 A.D. And ending in 585 B.C. in 3 phases by
Babylon approximately 130 years after the Northern house of Israel
was taken into Assyrian Captivity.
Prior to this Babylonian Captivity Ezekiel was commissioned by the Father
to bring the word of repentance to Israel, and to announce there will
be another captivity Ezekiel 16:53. This is a direct result from
Israel breaking the covenant with the Father V59.
The Riddle of Ezekiel...
The Lord told Ezekiel to make a riddle
and parable to Israel, this is found starting in Chapter 17:1.
The interpretation of this riddle starts at V12.
In Verse 3 The Eagle represents
Nebuchadnezzar. The cedar tree represents the tribe of Judah and the
highest branch of this tree is the last king of Judah (King Zedekiah). The high branch was taken to the land of waters in Babylon as told by the song
“By the Waters of Babylon.” Keep in mind the second great eagle is the Pharaoh of Egypt in V7.
At the same time of Ezekiel, Jeremiah his contemporary, was also commissioned to proclaim the truth. His
commission can be found in Jeremiah 1:10 Jeremiah was given permission
to move about freely in Judah during the Babylonian invasion to destroy, to build, and to plant. Many of his own countrymen perceived
him as being a traitor to Judah. He was promised by the Father he
would not get the sword Jeremiah 39:18. He was instructed by the Father to
lead others to a far off land which he did not know Jeremiah 15:11-14. This far off land was told to David by Nathan around 500 years earlier in 2 Samuel 7:10. Jeremiah was prophesied success in II Kings 19:30-31. It's important to
remember that King Zedekiah was blinded after the death of his sons
and died in chains in Babylon Jeremiah 39:4-7.
However, there's a Hebrew law that was unknown to King Nebuchadnezzer that states when there are no
male heirs to the throne then a female is to take over the throne of
David. At this point the Kings daughters were in line to the throne because there were no male heirs.
The Bible references these daughters in Jeremiah 41:10-17 and in Jeremiah 43:6.
From the riddle from above, the Father tells us that he will take
tender twigs from the high branch and plant them within Israel. In other words his
throne will now be with the tribes of Israel and be removed from
Judah, Ezekiel 17: 22-23. This is well illustrated in V24 as Judah was described as being high and Israel was low.
In Isaiah 37:31-32 we are told there
was a remnant of Judah that escaped and they will take root and bear
fruit. Of course this specifically means the daughters of King Zedekiah that escaped Judah. The Coronation stone would have to accompany the daughters
to the place of where they are transplanted to. Jeremiah took this Royal party of Judah to Egypt, Jeremiah 41 and 44.
Jeremiah is traced to Egypt through the Bible when the
Bibles suddenly becomes silent to his whereabouts. In 1887 E. Flinders Petrie, a British archaeologist, discovered the actual place where the daughters of Zedekiah went to in Egypt.
Where Jeremiah, his scribe Baruch, King Zedekiah's daughters, and the Stone of Israel went after that I will discuss in Part 4.

I try to keep these posts about one page in length. This subject does fill volumes of books and I know I have made it kind of choppy and probably doesn't flow smoothly. I have tried only to put the most important information here. I encourage all to research this subject to fully understand the details of the Fathers hand in this matter.
Praise the Lord!
