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!
