THE CORONATION OF THE KING - JUSTICE, TRUTH, AND MERCY

In a recent post we saw how Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet assisted King David in announcing Solomon as the next king. This action prevented a coup by David's son Adonijah.


As we approach Thanksgiving I would like to share the words of George Fredrick Handel's Coronation Anthems with everyone. The next post will carry this further with an idea for celebrating Thanksgiving as a coronation ceremony for King Yeshua.


George Fredrick Handel wrote the following words in 1727 set to music to celebrate the coronation of King George II. Since that time, almost 300 years, this anthem has been sung at the coronation of the English king or queen.


As we read these words, taken directly from Holy Scripture, let's think of King Yeshua and the coming Millennial Kingdom (MK). His government will be just, righteous, based on truth. At they end we'll see how it applies to all Israel.




ZADOK THE PRIEST
Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet anointed Solomon King.


And all the people rejoiced, and said: God save the King, long live the King, may the King live f
forever! Amen, Alleluia!  1 Kings 1.38-40

LET THY HAND BE STRENGHENED
Let thy hand be strengthened, and thy right hand be exalted. Let justice and judgment be the preparation of they seat.


Let mercy and truth go before they face. Alleluia! Psalm 89.14-15

THE KING SHALL REJOICE
The King shall rejoice in they strength, O Lord! Exceeding glad shall he be of thy salvation.
Glory and worship hast thou laid upon him. Thou has prevented (met) him with the blessings of goodness, and have set a crown of pure gold upon his head. Alleluia! Psalm 21.1, 5, 3


MY HEART IS INDITING (COMPOSING)
My heart is inditing of a good matter. I speak of the things which I have made unto the King.
Kings daughters were among thy honorable women. Upon thy right hand did stand the Queen in vesture of gold, and the King shall have pleasure in they beauty.


Kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and queens thy nursing mothers.
Psalm 45.1, 10,12; Isaiah 49.23


Zadok and Nathan represent our prophetic standing in the Millennial Kingdom. The King has been anointed (Yeshua) and we are rejoicing. The British Monarchy is the only monarchy on earth that say, "God save the king, long live the king"


If Britain is an Ephramite nation this makes perfect sense. The word British is a combination of two Hebrew words: Brit = Covenant and Ish = Man = Covenant man!


The hand of our King has been strengthened by the Father, His right hand is exalted. Justice and judgment, mercy and truth are the hallmarks of the coming MK.


The King Yeshua, rejoices in the strength of His Father Yahweh. He is glad to be Yahweh's salvation! For his great sacrifice for us on the cross he has received a crown of pure incorruptible gold. Alleluia!


My heart is inditing. Inditing in the KJV means "composing". Our hearts, all of Israel, are composing songs in our hearts. We have become kings and priests in the Kingdom.


The Queen, the Bride of Yeshua, stands at the King's right hand (power). Dressed in gold, King Yeshua takes great pleasure in His bride!


The kings of the nations shall come to Israel and bow.


This is a beautiful picture of the MK. The two sticks of Ezekiel 37.15-28, Judah and Ephraim have been joined together, once again united, as ISRAEL.

The next post will describe the English Coronation ceremony and how we can extend Sukkot at Thanksgiving and rejoice in the Coronation of King Yeshua.
