Coronation Symbols Of Israel

I have stated many times in this blog that it's my sincere desire for all to study the Bible and to come to conclusions on their own. It's important to study the Bible because if you just take someones word on something then you are held accountable in the end. An example of studying the Bible to find the truth is mentioned in Acts 17 when the Bereans studied to find the truth at a time when there was a conflict of more than one person telling them separate things, and I remind you that there are thousands of Christian denominations presently. If one just simply follows what someone tells them about the Bible, then what a person is really doing is believing anything that anyone tells them. The Bible is replete with verses against this notion. Just to mention a couple are; 2 Timothy 2:15 and 3:16.

The purpose of this particular post is to bring attention to the coronation ceremony of Britain and how it matches the coronation ceremonies of ancient Israel. For those who are new to this blog, I actually believe that the literal physical Hebrew/Israelites of the Bible migrated to Europe and are what we call today "Caucasian." 

The coronation of kings in Britain uses objects that are directly quoted from scripture. I list a few examples of the events in the coronation ceremony:

When the King arrives to Westminster Abbey he's met by dignitaries and led inside while the choir sings; Psalm 122.

The Archbishop of Canterbury presents the new king to the people, he makes his announcement to the 4 corners of the world. After each announcement the people exclaim “God save the King!” This exclamation was first used when Saul was made king; 1 Samuel 10:24.

Next the king sits on the coronation seat and the Archbishop of Canterbury recites this prayer: 

“O lord, Holy Father, who by anointing with oil didst of old make and consecrate Kings, Priests and Prophets to teach and govern Thy people Israel: Bless and sanctify thy chosen servant (Name), who by our office and ministry is now to be anointed with this oil and consecrated King of this Realm. Strengthen him, O Lord, with the Holy Ghost the Comforter; confirm and stablish him with thy free and princely Spirit, the Spirit of Wisdom and Government; the Spirit of Counsel and Ghostly Strength; the Spirit of Knowledge and true Godliness, and fill him, O Lord, with the Spirit of thy Holy Fear, now and for ever. Amen.” 

Then the choir sings the hymn “Zodok the priest.” This hymn talks about Solomon being anointed king by the priest Zodok in 969 B.C.; 1 Kings 1:34-35 and 39.

The king is then given two swords: one is sharp to symbolise spiritual righteousness and one is dull one to show mercy. This can be compared to Zechariah 7:9

The Bracelets of Royal Insignia: The Bracelets go back to King Saul which show the king as the military head; 2 Samuel 1:10.

The Royal Orb is presented to the king by the Archbishop of Canterbury and Archbishop points out that Jesus is the actual ruler of the earth, and is king of kings and Lord of Lords. Those who do not obtain his authority will not be able to rule with a joyful hand.

The king then receives a royal robe that signifies that the king is the head of the church just as Aaron received in Exodus 28:4.

The king is then given a coronation ring that signifies the union of the king to the people in “marriage”; Jeremiah 3:14, In the Bible the ring is a symbol of power and honor; Genesis 41:42 and Luke 15:22.

The king is then given two sceptres. One sceptre has a cross on it which is a symbol of power God gave to Moses; Exodus 14:15-16. The sceptre with the dove on it is a symbol of mercy. At the end of the handing over of the sceptres Psalm 45:6-7 is quoted.

The king sitting on the coronation stone, which is built into a chair (Jacob's Pillar), receives the royal crown which has a cross on the top. This cross symbolizes that the Messiah is the actually ruler and is above the king. There are 12 precious stones set on the botton of the crown to represent the 12 tribes of Israel. These stones are identical to those worn by the high priests of Israel; Exodus 28:15-21; Zechariah 9:16-17.

The king is then presented with a Bible covered with scarlet velvet, with the following words:

“Our gracious King: to keep your Majesty ever mindful of the law and Gospel of God as the rule for the whole life and government of Christian princes, we present you with this book, the most valuable thing that this world affords. Here is wisdom: this is the royal law: these are the lively Oracles of God.”

It was announced to Moses that the kings of Israel will receive the words and statues at their coronation; Deuteronomy 17:14-19 and after the choir sings Psalms 21:1-3.

The king is then confirmed by the people exclaiming in a loud voice: “God save the king.”; 1 Samuel 10:24.

Although the similarities of the coronation ceremonies are uncanny between Britain and Israel, I do hope that people will find interest in this subject to investigate this topic without myself or anyone else just stating their opinion and someone believing it (this actually requires you to read or study something about it).

This is a 4 minute video showing the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It shows how the objects mentioned above are used during her coronation ceremony.

Praise the Lord and I hope all have a blessed day!

Spiritual Warfare Daniel Chapter 10

To see Daniel Chapter 10 without my comments click HERE.

Chapter 10 is only the beginning of this prophecy, and it is continued in Chapter 11.

It was the very last days of the Babylonian Captivity (530-529 B.C.) when Daniel was earnestly praying for the return of Israel. He fasted and prayed for 21 days near the river Hidekel for Israel's return (Israel is the name of a man and his descendants in the Bible, the land of Palestine was never called Israel), another name of this river where Daniel prayed is the Tigres River. Daniel being about 90 years old at the time, didn't return to Jerusalem.

Daniel “lifted up his eyes” and saw a man that was clothed in linen and was bright in appearance. Although Daniel was the only one to see this person, he was accompanied by other men who fled when the ground began shaking: V.6-7. This is similar to the event of what happened to Saul on the Road to Damascus; Acts 26:13. Daniel's physical description is the same that was given by John in the book of Revelation; 1: 13-15. I should also add that a bright appearance is also what led the face of Moses to shine.

Moses had to cover his face with a veil after receiving the 10 Commandments from the preincarnate Messiah; Exodus 34:29-30

The messenger in light of Daniel 10 is assumed to be the preincarnate Messiah by all commentaries I have looked at, and I agree. The Messiah is how the Father communicates with us. The Messiah is described as being the Word of God in John1:1.

The messenger told Daniel that he was delayed by the King of Persia for 21 days, when Cyrus was given the Kingdoms of the earth with the expressed purpose of of rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem just 2-3 years prior; Ezra 1:1-5. This messenger then refers to the fact that when he is done with the King of Persia, he will then direct his attention to the King of Greece, although Greece would not become a ruling power on the earth for almost another 200 years; V.20-21. Of course when the Bible talks about the Kings of persia and Greece, it's talking about the Kings of the spirtual realm of Persia and other lands who actually control the cities behind the scenes by enslaving and directing the minds of men to work in their stead, for now I will simply refer to evil disembodied beings as Rephaim. Because the Rephaim are disembodied, they do seek out physical forms in which to dwell; Jude 9.

An insight to spiritual warfare

Satan is the Prince of this world according to John 14:30. This fact is exemplified when the Messiah was tempted and then he rejected Satan's offer in the beginning of his ministry; Luke 4:5-10

Although the earth is a wicked place, we are guaranteed a place of refuge in Father Yahweh; Psalms 91. The way we both protect ourselves and do battle with unseen spiritual forces that control evil men is found in Ephesians 6:10-20.

The 7 necessasary components of spiritual battle are:

Loins girt with truth v.14

Breastplate of Righteousness v.14

Feet shod with the Gospel of Peace v.15

Shield of Faith v.16

Helmet of salvation v.17

Sword of the Spirit, “WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD” v.17

Praying always in the Spirit v.18

These items are located in the New Testament, but their origins are found in the Old Testament. It's only when we break the chains of slavery through biblical spiritual warfare when things change. I pray all will seek change to both change themselves and change the nation. 

If my people, which are known by my name (Christian Israel), shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14.

Daniel's Prayer and The Seventy Weeks of Daniel Chapter 9

To see Daniel Chapter 9 without my comments click HERE.

I am starting this particular post of Daniel 9 with another passage of the Bible in Matthew 24 When the Messiah talked about the Abomination of Desolation from the book of Daniel. This passage of Yashua (Jesus) talks of his return at another point in time, which of course Yahshua did not know exactly when that time would be. Other passages that speak of this same account are Mark 13 and Luke 21.

 The Abomination of Desolation is the last event to occur in a series of events that will point to the season of his return, and we must be ready to leave at that point; Matt 24:16. The key events are: False Christs, rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, Christians will be killed, many will be offended, false prophets, love of many will grow cold, the gospel of the Kingdom Message will be preached in all the world, and then finally the Abomination of Desolation.

Although one could look at this list above and easily say that every single event has taken place already and the time is near, there's one fact that is we must keep in mind and that is the events must become more frequent and more intense as a woman would travail in labor; John 16:21. In other words it will become so frequent and that there will never seem to be a let up of the events. The frequency and intensity of these events are truly becoming more and more common. Most people do not think anything of scandal anymore nor every day evil that's becoming a society norm.

It was the end of the 70 years and soon the Judaites would be free from their Babylonian captivity. Daniel knew the time was short and they were to soon return to Judah which then as now is an alien infested land renamed as Judea during their absence. Daniel prayed for the return of his people by fasting, wearing sack cloth and ash; V.1-19. When the time came for the Israelites to return to Canaan land, there was only a small number of people who actually returned as they had become accustomed to the pagan life style of living in Babylon, just as many Israelites are still fixed on Babylon today.

When Daniel was praying, the Angel Gabriel interrupted his prayer to make him understand the time of the 70 years for the captivity of Judah. These years was prophesied in Jeremiah 25:11-12 and they were promised a safe return; Jeremiah29:10. The reason for the captivity is because they refused to honor Yahweh's laws, statutes, judgements, and sabbaths  Ezekiel 20:13, 16, 19-21, and 24.

Gabriel then told Daniel the time when the Messiah will arrive, he explains the starting time as when the walls and street of Jerusalem will be rebuilt in troubled times. This decree of rebuilding the walls of the temple was needed because they were under constant attack from the alien hordes and Edomite Jews while the temple was under construction. This decree came from Artaxerxes Longimanus on March 14, 458 B.C. After being requested by Nehemiah who was the kings cup bearer. The 70 weeks in Bible chronology is expressed as 490 years for the coming of the Messiah. The Bible states that a day a year; Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6. The 70 weeks, 70 x 7=490 years is the exact amount of time from the the decree to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem until the time of the death and resurrection of the Messiah freeing us permanently from our sins. 

The number 490 or 7x70 in the Bible

I want to touch on the number 7 in the Bible. It's no accident nor arbitrary number that the amount of years to the Messiah's death is 490. The number 490 is 7x70  and 7 is a recurring number in scripture and throughout creation. For example; how many times to forgive your brother? 7x70; Matt 18:22 it's also the number of years from Abraham to the Exodus, number of years from the Exodus to the dedication of the temple, and number of years from the dedication of the temple to Nehemiah's return. The number seven is found throughout nature also. There are 7 continents, 7 oceans, 7 days of creation, 7 bones in the human neck, 7 bones in the human ankle, seven colors in the rainbow, and 7 is the number of of numbers in a telephone number because that's the number of digits easily remembered by the human mind, and I could go on and on about the number 7 in nature, anyway I think you get the point. Seven is God's number and the number 6 as in 6 points of the star of David, or The Mark of The Beast (666) is the number of man. I thank the Father that he proves the authenticity of his word through numbers and other ways for those who diligently search the scriptures; Proverbs 30:5. 

I know that his word is truth!

The Ram And The Goat of Daniel Chapter 8

To see Daniel Chapter 8 without my comments click HERE.

Daniel's vision

The first half of this Chapter is the most interpretable prophecy of the Bible, because the interpretation is given in the same chapter. During Daniel's time in Babylon, wickedness increased with no reverence for Father Yahweh, nor for his Hebrew/Israelite people. When Daniel was in the Palace of Shushan in the province of Elam he received a vision of a ram and a goat. 

The ram had two horns. One horn was higher than the other and came up last. This ram started pushing Westward, Northward, and finally Southward. From the West came a one horned goat that violently attacked the ram and was moving so fast that it broke the rams horns then threw it to the ground. After defeating the ram, the goats horn was then broken. Next, there were four notable ones that waxed great. From out of the four notable ones came one little horn that cast down the host and some of the stars while at the same time removing the daily sacrifice. Then it's stated the vision of the daily sacrifice would be removed for 2,300 days.

The interpretation

Shushan is located in Persia and is the place where Daniel served under Belshazzar, from which he was summoned to interpret “the writing on the wall” in Daniel Chapter5. Shushan is also the home of Esther; Est 1:25, City of Nehemiah; Neh 1:1, and is where the stele containing the law Code of Hammurabi was found in 1901. Although Persia did push in every direction except the East, the Westward direction was the one that is most prominent. In Daniel 11:2 it states that the 4^th king after Cyrus will stir up the nations against Greece. 

History shows us that this 4th king was Xerxes which crossed the Hellespont in 480 B.C. Herodotus (the father of history) numbered the entire Xerxes army at around 1 ½ million. When Xerxes attacked Greece, Alexander the Great's army  lured the Persian army into a trap in the very narrow canyon at Thermopylae where 7,000 Greeks being led by 300 Spartan commando's defeated Xerxes army. It's estimated that 20,000 Persians were killed. This is about the same time that the Persian Navy lost 300 ships to a storm. Alexander further attacked the Persians in successive battles and Alexander totally defeated the Persian empire in only 6 years. 

Alexes Greek empire stretched from India to the Mediterranean, and from the Caucasian Mountains to the Fertile Crescents Western edge including Egypt as far South as modern day Ethiopia.

It's worth mentioning that the ram represented the empires of the Medes and Persians. The Medes were a much older empire and joined forces with the Persians because of the weakness of Babylon. According to historian Ammianus Marceilinus from the 4^th Century, Xerxes wore the head of a ram when he lead his army into battle. The speed of Alexander the Great's army moved very quickly to defeat the Persians. This is symbolized by the fact that the goat in Daniel's vision of the goat did not touch the ground when it traveled. Obviously Alexander was the horn on the goat that was broken after defeating the Persian ram. Alexanders empire was then divided by the four notable ones of V. 8.

2,300 days
The last part of Chapter 8 deals with a prophecy of 2,300 days. This particular part of Daniel 8 remains unclear of exactly what happens to begin the 2,300 days and what event will happen at the end of the 2,300 days. I have read some peoples ideas about what the meaning of this time frame means, they include:
When the Romans sacrificed a pig on the alter of the temple for Zeus in 70 A.D.
I have heard of this referencing Islam also as Mohammad came from one of the areas of the four notable ones. I believe I could find other explanations of the 2,300 days if I searched.

My personal opinion of what the prophecy is talking about hasn't happened yet. This is because the book of Daniel origionally was not separated by chapters. Most people recognize the "Abomination of Desolation" as being of Daniel chapter 9. Daniel 8 leads into Daniel 9 and is the thought prior to the 9th Chapter. The Bible exchanges a day for a year in both Numbers 14:34 and again in Ezekiel 4:6. The passage of Daniel 8 for the most part is about the Greek empire. If you add 2,300 years after the death of Alexander the Great it comes to the year 1979. Nothing significant happened this year, and obviously another focal point in history starts the 2,300 years.

 During this time there will be one that will make war with the Israelite saints V. 24. This is also discussed by Yahshua (Jesus) in Matt 24:15. He tells us that when we see this abomination which was spoken by Daniel the Prophet, which actually started 2,300 years before, we are to flee to the mountains. As with all prophecy we will not know the actual events until during and after it happens. This is so that men that have free will will not alter history by making it happen before its time or by trying to have it not happen at all.

If others have an opinion on the 2,300 days, I would love to hear it. Praise the Lord for his word!
