CHRIST TRIANGLE

I hope this satisfies your anxiety. However, don’t get me wrong, I believe there is a replaying of Daniel’s seventieth week, indeed perhaps the entire seventy weeks. If you have read my previous articles, you know the emphasis I place on 1996 and 2003. Also, you know that when Edward I brought the Throne of David to London in 1296, being the third overturn of the throne as prophesied at Ezekiel 21: 26-27, then the Throne upon which Queen Elizabeth sits is the one Jesus is promised in Luke 1: 32. History has proved that God has surely protected His Throne. For a replay of Daniel’s seventy weeks, consider this possible scenario.

1513 AD – God protects His Throne – Scotland invaded England from the north to aid their French ally who was battling Henry VIII’s (who was to free true Israel from the Papacy) forces in France, the French fell in August 1513. The entire armies of Scotland, Highland and Lowland alike, met the English at Flodden Field in September, 1513 in a fierce bloody battle. Scotland lost and their king, James IV was killed. Peace was assured when Henry’s sister became Regent to Scotland’s infant King James V.

1562 AD – seven weeks later (49 years) – God protects his throne from the Papacy - After Elizabeth I agreed to permit Mary Queen of Scots to return to Scotland in August 1561, Mary spends 1562 visiting powerful noblemen, going to Linlithgow Palace followed by Stirling, Perth, Coupar Angus, Glamis Castle, Edzell Castle and Aberdeen. Next she visits Darnaway, Inverness, Spynie Palace, Aberdeen again, Dunnottar Castle, Montrose, Stirling again and finally back to Edinburgh. She also stays at Balvenie Castle and Arbroath Abbey. Judging from historical comment, it appears she was attempting to establish alliances, perhaps in a bid for England’s throne. Obviously she was unable to, but it must be remembered that many Roman Catholics recognized Mary as Queen of England after Mary I died and the Protestant Elizabeth I succeeded her to the throne in November 1558. Mary Stuart's claim to the English throne was based on the fact that she was the granddaughter of Margaret Tudor, sister of Henry VIII, Elizabeth's father. To the Roman Catholics, Mary's claim appeared stronger than Elizabeth's because they viewed Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn as illegal.

1996 AD – 62 weeks later (434 years) – God arranges safety for His Sacred Stone (Jacob’s Pillar Stone) upon which He, like all other monarchs of Israel, will be crowned. In 1996 London and Westminster Abbey are rife with blasphemy and the heir to the throne, Prince Charles, wants to be defender of all faiths, thus opening the way for a catholic to again become monarch. In July 1996, the decision is made to return the Stone of Destiny to Scotland, exactly 700 years after Edward I brought it to London. It is removed on November 14th, 1996, the date of Prince Charles’ birthday.

2003 AD – Judgment? – One week (7 years) after 1996 – exactly six of God’s days (6000 years) from the fall of Adam – 400 years from Elizabeth I’s death, 70 years from the dominion of Esau, etc., etc., etc. Ironically, in approximately the “midst of the week”, in March 2000, we witnessed Pope John Paul II making a pilgrimage to the town of Jesus' birth where he celebrated an open-air mass before a crowd of thousands in Bethlehem's Manger Square and sank to his knees in prayer in the dim grotto where Christian tradition says Christ was born.

It is important to consider Luke 4, when Jesus Christ preached in the synagogue; He ended by quoting only a portion of Isaiah 61: 2. He left off the words, “and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.” So we must never forget that His return will be unlike the First Advent, he is coming as the King of kings, Lord of lords and to administer judgment.
