MONARCHS OF DESTINY - QUEEN ELIZABETH I

It is interesting to look at Elizabeth’s reign in light of Leviticus 26: 18 as recorded at the outset of this short study. A “times” is 360 days (or years) and Bible scholars have shown how to arrive at the conversion by employing such things as prophetic years or the degrees in a day. Yet, God is amazing. He knows that He had to make it crystal clear for us to understand. First, He told us in Galatians 4: 10, “Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.” This made it clear that a “time” is indeed a time factor and is progressive, that is, a month is longer than a day, a time is longer than a month and a year is longer than a time. Then, He provided an example to ensure there can be no doubt about the duration of a “time.” In Revelation 12: 6 & 14, the Lord uses two different formulas to arrive at the same number of years. In verse 6, He refers to a timing of “a thousand two hundred and threescore days” and in verse 14, in describing the very same event, He refers to a “time, and times, and half of time.” Let’s look at each formula to demonstrate that the time frame of each is exactly the same.

In Verse 6, we have a thousand (1,000), two hundred (200) and three score (60) which totals 1,260. In Verse 14, we have a time (360), times (2 x 360) and ½ of a time (180) which totals 1,260. All that is left to do is convert the days to a year in accordance with Ezekiel 4: 6, “I have appointed thee each day for a year” and we can see that a “time” is without a doubt 360 years.

In short, Leviticus 26: 18 says that God would punish Israel for seven of these 360 year time periods (a total of 2,520 years) if they didn’t obey His Law. It is important to realize that God segregated each 360-day (year) period for a purpose. In fact, He employed this yardstick to highlight many events in history, in addition to these periods of punishment. Yet, if we look at each period of punishment, we will note two similarities. Firstly, something significant invariably ended and/or began the time period and secondly, with the passing of each period of punishment, conditions became better for punished Israel. As the beginning point in this study, we use 604/603 BC when Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, subjugated the Nation of Judah. Simple arithmetic demonstrates that six periods of 360 expired in 1557/58 (Mary’s death, Elizabeth’s ascension) and therefore this dating also begins the seventh and last period of punishment. As reflected earlier in this study, it was the beginning of the strengthening of the Commonwealth of Nations prophesized for Jacob Israel in Genesis 35: 11.

We should now briefly look at three most significant time factors because it is absolutely astonishing to see the pivotal importance of the reign of Elizabeth I.

As an aside, all readers understand that at the time of Elizabeth I, Britain was the home of both Joseph’s sons, i.e., the Birthright tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. Subsequently, America Manasseh was established and became independent. It is perhaps no coincidence that one “time” (360 years) separates the death in 1603 of Elizabeth I, the greatest of all English monarchs, from the tragic death in 1963 of America’s President John F. Kennedy, the last President who sought to restore the greatness of America by asserting its independence from the bondage of money policies.

In comparing the history of a truly great Britain at the time of Elizabeth I with the Esau dominated Britain of most of this past century, it is sad to view the differences. Under Elizabeth I, Britain was rising to greatness in a Godly environment. In the 20th century, Britain lost all her greatness and is in danger of giving up what remains of her autonomy to a European community. And it is rapidly becoming a Godless society. Sadly, Queen Elizabeth II is almost a willing pawn in the one world government thrust. Yet, Elizabeth I could easily have been pushed aside as well had she permitted it. She didn’t. In fact it was her strength of character, dertemination and courage that God used in his unfolding plan. She truly was a Monarch of Destiny and her last speech to the British parliament reflects why God chose her as such. I love to reflect on these few words included in this remarkable monarch’s message, “And in my governing {of} this land, I have ever set the last Judgement day before mine eyes, and so to rule, as I shall be Judged and answer before a higher Judge, to whose Judgement Seat I do appeal in for those thoughts {that are sometimes} cherished in my heart that tended not to {be for} my people’s good.” It’s too bad today’s leaders do not love and fear the Lord God’s final Judgment as Elizabeth did, rather than following the plan of the one world Satanic Kingdom.
