  • The Temporal Reign of Queens and Kings

    The Temporal Reign of Queens and Kings

    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

    People may address the Queen as Your Majesty or Your Royal Majesty.

    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:

    A protest song?

    I grew up in the 1960’s, a time full of protest songs. And this was one of my favorites, an a capella version in English from a German composer.

    So what qualifies this as a protest song? BACH was a Protestant.

    For years his hymns and music heavily taken from Scripture were banned from the Roman Catholic church (although now, Bach is back even in Catholic worship).

    To the King of of the ages

    You may have heard today’s short take on Scripture as a benediction of worship:

    Now to the King [lit. of the ages] eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory [lit. to the ages of the ages] forever and ever. Amen.

    1 Timothy 1:17 NASB20

    And the Protest?

    ..fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.

    1 Timothy 1:81b-19 NASB20

    Even some who claim Christ will not give honor to the Father and glory to God in the Highest.

    Do you agree, disagree or have an example?
