A PROPHETIC BIBICAL GENERATION AND THE END OF THE AGE

 Yahweh appears to work prophetically in 100 year time frames. This equals two complete Jubilee periods of 50 years. A person could live 100 years and experience two complete Jubilee cycles, but no person in modern times has lived for 150 years. A close reading of scripture seems to confirm that Yahweh is moving prophetically in segments of 100 years.

 Currently on Yahweh’s calendar we are in the year 5783/2023 since the creation of Adam. The fall feasts will move us in to year 5778 on Yahweh’s calendar. The prophetic calendar is based on the biblical genealogies since the creation of Adam until the present day. It is possible that in the past generations the rabbis have changed the calendar for various reasons anywhere from 75 to 200 years. I have seen writings about this but have not yet been able to confirm it.

 In any event, we are living in prophetic times. Working in 100 year segments can help us understand how Yahweh views the time frame of a human generation. Very few people live past one hundred years. Each fresh hundred year period is then the beginning of a new generation. Israel as we know it today officially became a nation in 1948. This may have significant meaning based on a generation being 100 years!

 In this post look at a generation as a three-fold family. This would be parents, their children, and their children’s children…Parents, kids, and grandparents. This would encompass approximately 100 years.

 Genesis 15:12-16 (King James Version)

And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. and he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. and thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. The Israelites came out of Egypt 430 years to the date. This was during the time of the fourth generation (hundred years each).

 Genesis 17:1, 17, 21

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”

21 But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year.”

God is starting a new generation with Isaac when Abraham was 100 years old, welcome to the new generation.

 Genesis 5:32 (New King James Version)

And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Genesis 7:6-7 (New King James Version)

 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters were on the earth. So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. Before the flood the last generation of earth was 100 years old, these being Noah's children born when Noah was 500 years old. When they (Noah's children ) came out of the ark a new generation would be born. The children of Noah's children. The beginning of the next generation.

 Genesis 15:16

Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” The Lord was telling Abraham that after 400 years (four generations) they would leave Egypt.

 THE FIG TREE IS ISRAEL

Hosea 9:10 - I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first fruits on the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal Peor, and separated themselves to that shame; They became an abomination like the thing they loved.

 Jeremiah 24:1-9 The LORD showed me, and there were two baskets of figs set before the temple of the LORD, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah…One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs which could not be eaten, they were so bad. Then the LORD said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad.”…Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: ‘Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans…‘And as the bad figs which cannot be eaten, they are so bad’—surely thus says the LORD—‘so will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, his princes, the residue of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt. I will deliver them to trouble….

 Matthew 24:36-39 (New King James Version)

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

 Summary

The word of God establishes a prophetic generation as 100 years. The coming of the Lord will be as the days of Noah. The word establishes Israel as the fig tree. Israel was established in 1948. Is the Lord coming in that generation? I am not saying the Lord is coming in 2048. He could come at any time during that generation which could be many years later. What I am saying is that we are living in the time of the end of the age. “No man knows the day.” The Lord, however, did tell us to watch and pray.

 Our three-fold family as stated at the beginning would therefore encompass the hundred years since the fig tree was restored. Only time and the playing out of current events will decide this issue. In any event we should be prepared for difficult times ahead.

Keep in mind that a Jubilee Year comes every 50 years. Therefore two Jubilees equal 100 years. Few people live to be 100 years old. Very few people within a group of people born within a 10 year span would surpass the 100 year two Jubilee cycle.

 Before the flood: "And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” Gen 6.3

 After the flood: Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away. Ps 90.10 - The average of 120 and 80 = 100

Genesis 15:12-16 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. and he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. and thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

 The Israelites came out of Egypt during the time of the fourth generation.

 Matthew 24:32-34 (New King James Version)

The Parable of the Fig Tree

“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.

　

 

GOD IS BUILDING HIS NATION WHILE THE NATIONS RAGE 

Today we’ll look at the tribes of Israel as described in Genesis 29, 39, and 35. These are the 12 tribes of Israel according to their order of birth and mother: Leah’s sons are: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah. Then Rachel had Dan and Naphtali with her handmaid Bilhah. Then Leah had Gad and Asher with her handmaid Zilpah. Leah then has Issachar and Zebulon with Jacob followed by Rachel having her first born, Joseph. Later, Rachel will birth Benjamin and die in child birth.

Leah has Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulon for a total of six.

Rachel has Dan and Naphtali through her handmaid Bilhah making the total eight.

Leah has Gad and Asher through Zilpah the handmaid totaling ten.

Rachel has Joseph and Benjamin for a grand total of twelve. When Jacob blesses his sons in Genesis 49 these twelve are the ones he blesses. Genesis 49.28 proclaims them the twelve tribes of Israel—this is very important. These are the original twelve tribes.

In Genesis 48.8-22 Jacob blesses the two sons of Joseph before blessing the original twelve, which include Joseph. In verse 16 Jacob says, “Let my name be named upon them, and the name of my father’s Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the earth.”

Jacob reverses the order of blessing on Joseph’s sons Manasseh and Ephraim. He blesses Ephraim the youngest with the first born blessing and Manasseh the oldest with the lesser blessing.

In summary: The twelve sons of Jacob are the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph’s sons are grafted into Jacob/Israel. Later the tribe of Levi is designated to be the priesthood without a land inheritance and Joseph gets the “double blessing” of his sons becoming grafted in.

From this point on Biblically, when Joseph is mentioned it also means Ephraim and Manasseh.

Just for some extra information, if you look at how the tribes are located around the Miskan, or Tabernacle in the Wilderness, they are grouped according to birth mothers. This is very interesting but not the subject of this post. Ask yourself why they are grouped this way and what it means.

The blessings on Ephraim and Manasseh

Joseph protested his father blessing Ephraim first telling his father to bless Manasseh first. Here is Jacob’s reply and blessings on the two boys:

And Joseph said unto his father, not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he (Manasseh) also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother (Ephraim) shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. And he blessed them that day, saying, “In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh”: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. Genesis 48.18-20

Did you catch all of that? Manasseh shall be great, but his brother Ephraim shall become a multitude of nations. That is multitude of Nations. Not just Jewish, but multitude of nations.

I was puzzled by this for a long period of time. What does this mean? I prayed and searched for answers and over time through various sources and teachers I came to believe that Manasseh prophetically represents the United States and Ephraim is Great Britain.

Think about this. We are letting the Bible interpret itself. In Genesis 49 when Jacob blesses the twelve tribes he says, “I am telling you what will befall you in the last days.” That would indicate the same for Ephraim and Manasseh. We’ll come back to this in a bit.

Ephraim and Manasseh are grafted in

We know that Joseph was sold by his brothers and became the second most powerful man in Egypt. Pharaoh gave Joseph Asenath the daughter of the high priest of On, the pagan god of Egypt, for a wife (Gen 41:45). Joseph’s sons were half Gentile and their mother was a pagan worshipper.

Do you think she spent a lot of time teaching her sons about her gods? I would think so as later Ephraim would lead the northern kingdom of Israel into Idolatry. Jeroboam, the first king of Israel was from the tribe of Ephraim (1 Kings 11.26).

Ephraim and Manasseh then are being grafted into Jacob/Israel in Genesis 48 when Jacob puts his name on them—Yahweh changed Jacob’s name to Israel. Therefore Ephraim and Manasseh are a type and shadow of the Gentiles being grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel (Romans 11 and Ephesians 2-3).

We will look deeper into this in the next post when the nation splits into Judah and Israel.

Great Britain and the United States

Briefly, without too much detail, we see that Great Britain and the United States will rise in the latter days and become the two most blessed and powerful nations on earth. Not only are they powerful, but they take the Gospel to the ends of the earth through their missionary work. In Deuteronomy 33 Moses blesses the original twelve tribes blessing Joseph and including Ephraim and Manasseh in Joseph’s “double portion” blessing:

And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that couches beneath, and for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, and for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills  and for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.  His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. Deuteronomy 33.13-17

There is an incredible amount of information in this blessing on Joseph. Note how his offspring are like horns (power) that push the people together to the ends of the earth. Great Britain and the United States are the two end time nations that did this through political and religious means. Also read the list of the 144,000 in Revelation 7. Two tribes are missing. Do you know why?

The name British is a combination of two Hebrew words Brit = Covenant and Ish = Man; Covenant Man. Each tribe had a banner when they encamped around the tabernacle in the wilderness. Ephraim’s was a bull. The British mascot is a character named John Bull. Check into this concerning the English coronation ceremony: http://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-bible-in-theenglish-coronation.html

Great Britain eventually became the British Commonwealth which included Australia, New Zealand, and other colonized nations. Britain was not a perfect nation, but they were blessed as an Israelite nation and they always had missionaries bring the word of God to the nations. At one point in her history the British Empire controlled a fourth of the land mass of the world.

Manasseh is technically grafted into Israel as the 13^th tribe when we take Joseph out. The United States was thirteen colonies when they rebelled from Britain. Thirteen is the number of rebellion in the Bible (Gen 14.4). The flag of the USA has thirteen stripes. The Eagle in the US emblem has thirteen arrows clucked in her claws.

America became the bastion of freedom and in her early days was quite religious. Both Britain and the USA based their society on Biblical laws and Judaea Christian values. These days we have strayed from our roots and it is difficult to call us Christian nations.

In Genesis 22.17 God blesses Abraham and says his offspring will possess the gates to their enemies. Great Britain, until recently, controlled all of the world’s sea gates, which included the Panama Canal, Suez, and Gibraltar.

When the ancient nations of Judah and Israel turned away from Yahweh, He chastised them through powerful pagan nations. This is exactly what is happening to the Israelite nations of Great Britain and the United States at this time in world history. Our power is waning as we turn from God and great powers are rising in the East. The Father is going to chastise the nations, including the Israelite nations of Britain, USA, and Israel prior to the second coming of King Yeshua.

Lost Identities

Other European nations can be identified in the prophecies in Genesis 49. This is what is going to befall the once great Christian nations. Check out the July/August 2017 postings on this blog describing the Christian history of European nations.

 

THE BIBLE IN THE ENGLISH CORONATION CEREMONY

In England they call the coronation ceremony a Christian service. In fact, it may be more of a Hebrew Old Testament service than a Christian one. Many of the traditions, garments, hardware, and service can all be found in the Old Testament.

Anointing of the King

In 1 Samuel 10.1 Samuel anoints Saul with oil to signify that Saul is going to be King over Israel.

1 Samuel 10.24-25 - And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king. Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord.

In the British Coronation they anoint the King or Queen with the anointing oil. The oil is kept in an oil flask called the Ampulla which is in the form of an Eagle.

The oil is poured into the Coronation Spoon and the monarch is anointed on the hands, breast, and head. This spoon dates back to the 12^th century. It was listed in an inventory at Westminster Abby in 1359 as being” of ancient form.”

In the Old Testament the King is anointed with oil.

Samuel also said unto Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the Lord. 1 Samuel 15.1

Trumpets

Trumpets are traditional instruments for fanfares and signals, punctuate the entire coronation service. In England the trumpets used for coronations are called The State Trumpets. There are 11 silver trumpets used in the coronation ceremony. In the Bible the Israelites were instructed to make silver trumpets to use in ceremony and to remind the Lord when they were in trouble or need.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camp And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. Numbers 10.1-3

A fanfare played by the State Trumpets herald key moments of the coronation ceremony just as the silver trumpets in the Old Testament heralded announcements of important events in Biblical times.

Garments

All royal ceremonies have the participants clothed in royal garments. In the English coronation ceremony the monarch wears white linen undergarments beneath the royal clothing shown on the left.

In the Old Testament the priests wore linen undergarments as a sign of holiness. The Coronation is considered a holy event as the monarch swears to abide by and defend the Christain faith. White linen signifies holiness in the Bible and the righteousness of the saints. Linen breeches were for modesty. Priests’ garments were for glory and beauty. And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. Exodus 28.2; Ex 28.40-42

White linen also represents the righteousness of God’s people. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. Revelation 19.18

Music

The Coronation ceremony also has a tradition of music. The music used in the service was written by George Fredrick Handel and has been used in English coronations since 1727. Prior to that time other various types of holy music were used.

Handel’s rousing anthem Zadok the Priest has been played at every coronation service since 1727. The words are:

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!  (ref: 2 Samuel 16:16; Psalm 20.6-8)

May the King live forever,

Amen, Alleluia.

Zadok the priest was loyal to David throughout all his troubles and was anointed as High Priest for his loyalty. We are to be loyal to the Lord as Zadok was to his king. These words are based on 1 Kings 1.38-40:

So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David's mule and brought him to Gihon. There Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!”  And all the people went up after him, playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth was split by their noise.

Music has always played an important part in coronation ceremonies throughout history. In the time of the Israelite kings it was the same. Notice how the English ceremony is based on the Old Testament. This is why I would call it a Hebrew ceremony, rather than a Christian one.

In 1 Chronicles 25 David sets up the musical order of the tabernacle. This was prior to King Solomon being anointed king before David’s death. We can assume this was the music of the Temple until its destruction in 586 BC.

The Canopy or Chuppah

A chuppah or canopy is a canopy under which a Jewish couple stand during their wedding ceremony. It consists of a cloth or sheet, stretched or supported over four poles, or sometimes manually held up by attendants to the ceremony. A chuppah symbolizes the home that the couple will build together.

In the New Testament the believer is considered “the Bride of Christ” and the canopy would symbolize our marriage to God and our dwelling with him.

A canopy is used in the Coronation Ceremony to cover the Sovereign when the Anglican Bishop anoints the head, hands, and breast with oil.

The sovereign pledges to serve God and the nation as long as they shall live. In a way it is a wedding between God, the nation, and the sovereign.

The word British itself is rooted in the Hebrew language. Brit means “Covenant” and Ish means man in Hebrew. British, then, means “Covenant Man”.

One of the songs sung during many coronations is the Hymn “Jerusalem’. This song describes the desire of the British people to make their beautiful country like eternal Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Hymn - And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountain green? And was the holy Lamb of God on England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem built here among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.

St. Edwards Crown

St. Edward’s Crown is only used for the Coronation Ceremony. This solid gold crown was made for the coronation of Charles II in 1661. It was a replacement for the medival crown which was melted down in 1646 during the English Civil War.

In the Old Testament the High Priest wore a crown of gold:

He also placed the turban on his head, and on the turban, at its front, he placed the golden plate, the holy crown, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. Leviticus 9.9

History tells us Israelite kings were crowned with a band of gold.

St. Edward’s crown may bear witness to the Israelite’s heritage of the British people and to the Davidic origin of our Royal House and Throne. It is wholly Israelite, being a perfect symbol of the kingdom of God as it was in Israel of old and as it will again be under the rule of our returning Lord. This is to be seen, first of all, in the row of special jewels which encircle its base. Twelve in number, they correspond exactly both in number and name with those on the breastplate of Israel’s High Priest as recorded in Exodus 28.

When a monarch presents Him or Herself before God in the Coronation service, there to dedicate themselves and us to God’s service, they wear a crown whose golden base is set with TWELVE jewels which are identical with those which represented the twelve Israel tribes on the High Priest’s breastplate.

This becomes doubly significant when we remember that the Israel people are the physical foundation of the kingdom of God. As organized in Israel of old, this kingdom consisted of the Twelve Tribes in four divisions, encamped around the Tabernacle in and over which hovered the Shekinah, a visible manifestation of God’s presence among, and his sovereignty over, His people.

Of this kingdom, the Crown of St. Edward is a perfect symbol. Just as the twelve tribes of Israel are the basis of the kingdom of God, so the twelve jewels, emblematic of these twelve tribes, form the basis of the Crown. Just as the twelve tribes around the Tabernacle were divided into four groups, so the twelve jewels around the base of the crown are divided into four groups by four golden bands extending upward from the base.

When Israel of old was encamped around the Tabernacle (Num. 2) each tribe encamped under its own banner or ensign. Then, ahead and above these, were the flags or standards of the four divisions into which the twelve tribes were divided. This too appears in the symbolism of the crown for around it are four special jewels set above those encircling its base.

Finally, above the actual crown we see a golden ball or orb surmounted by a cross, and from this cross two bands extend downward to encircle the orb. This completes a perfect picture, for this cross, above and encircling the globe, is the recognized emblem of Jesus, the Christ, in his coming role as Ruler of the whole earth as “King of kings, and Lord of lords.” (1 Tim. 6:15; Rev. 19:16)

In this crown, therefore, we have a perfect symbol of the Kingdom of God over which our returning Lord is to reign from the Throne of David, and as such a symbol would be meaningless to anyone else, it follows that our use of it clearly identifies us as the people of the kingdom.

The Throne and the Stone of Destiny
The Coronation Chair, commissioned in 1297, is the oldest piece of furniture in Britian still used for its original purpose—the coronation of the soveriegn!

Every crowned soveriegn (King or Queen) since Henry IV has been crowed and anointed in this chair except for Roman Catholic Queen Mary, who had a separate chair made so she could avoid being crowned in the chair her Protestant half-brother had used.

Beneath the throne is the “Stone of Destiny” which legend states was brought to Ireland by the prophet Jeremiah when he left Egypt with the daughters of imprisoned King Zedekiah (2 Kings 25.7). There is even a movie about the Stone of Destiny (same name) that documents the stealing of the stone back in the 1990’s.

The legend also says this stone was the pillow under Jacob’s head when he fell asleep and the angel of God told him his descendants would be as numerous as the dust of the earth (Genesis 28.10-22). Whether or not this legend is true it is interesting that there is a mound of earth known as the tomb of Jeremiah in Ireland and the Stone of Destiny in Scotland.

 

                        Jeremiah’s Tomb in Ireland                                                                           Stone of Destiny in Scotland

Summary - We see many Biblical traditions in the English Coronation Ceremony that are Hebraic in nature and taken directly out of the Old Testament. I believe England is part of the lost tribes of Israel as documented in the books of the kings in the Bible when the King of Assyria relocated them and the people lost their identity among the Gentiles (Hosea 1.10-11; 3.4-5; 7.8-9; 9.3-4).

In summary there are four parts to the enthronement of a Biblical and English King:

1.      Giving of the Decree – Psalm 2.6-7 Declaration, Genesis 49.10 Rod/Sceptre is given, Hebrews 1.8

2.      Ceremony of taking the throne – 2 Sam 5.3 Anointed, 1 Kings 1.39-46, Rev 4.1-4, 9-11

3.      The Acclamation – 1 Kings 1.34 – God Save the King! 2 Kings 11.12

4.      Subjects Pledge Allegiance - Ps 50.4-5 Subjects pledge allegiance, Ps 47 The Coronation Psalm

When Yahweh restores the Kingdom Jew and Gentile will be reunited as written in Ezekiel 37.15-28. Also review the blessings/prophecies by Jacob to Joseph’s sons in Genesis 48.10-20. The United States and Britain are represented by Manasseh and Ephraim. We see many amazing proofs in the Coronation Ceremony! It will be interesting to see what happens at the next Coronation ceremony. Will the current celebrity monarchs still recognize God in the ceremony or change everything to be politically correct…we’ll soon know.

Finally here are some of the words to rule Britannia:

When Britain first, at heaven's command,
Arose from out the azure main,
This was the charter, the charter of the land,
And Guardian Angels sang this strain:

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

(Chorus)
The nations not so blest as thee
Must, in their turn, to tyrants fall,
While thou shalt flourish great and free:
The dread and envy of them all.

Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

The Christian nations were established by God to preach the Gospel to the nations. Many nations in the British Commonwealth have national anthems praising the Sovereign God of the Universe. When Yeshua returns during the fall feasts He will restore the Kingdom under God as it should be.
