Today’s Scriptural Rerun from the first of a three-post series in A.D. 2013 only includes one verse, Genesis 1:2a from the King James Version; however I share much about the history of King James, sovereign forefather to the current queen celebrated today, 2 June, in the year of our Lord 2022.
FYI
HRH (Her Royal Highness) Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Mountbatten-Windsor was born in AD 1923 (the same year as my deceased father)
Elizabeth became Queen of the realm when her father King George VI died 6 February AD 1952
Queen Elizabeth’s coronation took place 2 June in the year of our Lord 1953 in Westminster Abbey
The Queen married Philip Mountbatten in 1947 but did not adopt his surname as is usual.
Prior to 1917, royals did not have a surname and instead used the name of their father’s “House” for example, Tudor. – source
The Queen’s titles include:
Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith
Careful when equating Jesus to a King or Queen of this temporal earthly realm
When some quote Scripture, often King James will honored for his English translation of the BIBLE. READ MORE about King James and others connected with the early English Bible below:
All questions of the Church and even those sceptics the Lord will choose — questions about when God will finally look more like a King in charge of His own Kingdom creation. This post is not exhaustive of course, but it brings Scripture from the Gospel into our conversation about the Kingdom of God.
John tells us:
Jesus IS the WORD of God and even more than that which we can see or hear.
Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him – John 18:12 KJV
..one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? – John 18:22b KJV
24 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment..
29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation..
33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
His scourging poured forth sinless Blood by 39 lashes upon Jesus’ back.
Pilate and the politically motivated religious leaders of Jerusalem made mockery of mercy (one less lash than Rome’s forty which should cause death) by condemning the Son of Man in whom they found no guilt.
John 19:2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head..
3 and they repeatedly came up to Him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapped Him in the face again and again.
Judas & a detachment of troops & officers from the chief priests & Pharisees,
Hosanna to the Son of David:
Behold the Man
Pilate *said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?”
The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”
Jesus, the King of the Jews
From Glorified King to Crucifixion on a Cross
About the sixth hour [noon]
14 Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Look, your King!” 15 So they shouted, “Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”
16 So he then handed Him over to them to be crucified.
17 They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, carrying His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called, Golgotha. There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between…
21 So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews’; rather, write that He said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’”
A Temporary Victory
The powerful have won the political battle of the day!
Yet complete defeat is near for political rulers of the Empireand the powerful leaders of religion in Jerusalem.For by their own shouts the preordained Sacrifice of the Lamb of God for the sins of the world is now to be fulfilled.
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
It was nearly noon, the Passover Lamb now prepared by scourging. “CRUCIFY, CRUCIFY!” shout the crowds. We will NOT follow Jesus.
Jesus the Christ will take back the power of sinfrom the enemyand defeat deathfrom a Cross of Sacrifice.
.. this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. Acts 2:23
And how is this the Spirit of Grace?
For this grace you must also wait until next time.
