Charles III & Queen Camilla

Fear God. Honour the king. 1 Pe. 2:17b Holy Bible, KJV
It pays to listen to the man Christ designated the greatest born of woman. (Mtt. 11:11) King Herod certainly gave John the Baptist full attention, though his heart raged against the word delivered by the Prophet. Mtt. 14:4 KJV; It is not lawful for thee to have her.
Men Pleaser or God Pleaser?
Kings and Prophets rarely mince words, and that utterance cost John his head. It was worth it, he feared God, honoured the king with a divine rebuke, and finished his ministry on earth.
Herod’s courtiers were aghast; how insolent to judge the king of the Jews by publicly accusing him of incest and adultery.
Dictated by the King of kings, commissioned by King James, ignored by the Windsors. The Inerrant Holy Bible: Get it, read it, do it! (C) CUP
Rebuke a wise man and he will love you: rebuke a fool and he’ll hate you.
Herod could have repented, like many kings before, and received God’s blessing, but he was a fool, so is still paying for his folly today.
What about you? Learn from King Herod’s mistakes. Do you thank God for the people He sent to rebuke you when you were foolish and deep in sin? Precious gutsy Christians who followed the Holy Spirit’s bidding, and were not afraid of causing offence.
If the Truth offends sinners, they need to be offended.
Can God Bless Adultery?
What would John the Baptist say to Prince Charles and Camilla?
Is that a union Heaven can bless?
Rowan Williams, the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, thinks it is. He had no reservations publicly blessing the adulterers, whilst claiming to be the ‘spiritual head of the Anglican church.’
Who is your spiritual head?
Make sure you know today, or you’ll be led to Hell by such apostates and false teachers, shamelessly robbing Christ of His Glory.
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: Col. 1:17-18a KJV
How many heads do you have?
Rev. Williams endorses sodomy and recruits perverts and sodomites into the Anglican leadership.
Would you welcome his blessing?
Prince Charles certainly did.
Unsteady Rests the Crown
The man who would be king; such a tragic figure. Born under the Windsor curse, and doomed to tread in darkness, despite the religious observance, and acts of charity.
‘What curse?’ you ask?
The one that results from swearing the Coronation Oath required of all British monarchs. Here’s the format of the sworn oath with 1689 English spelling: Source Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0
Form of Oath and Administration thereof.

To swear any oath is a denial of Christ: Mtt. 5:33-37 KJV
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
All New Covenant believers are forbidden by God’s Spirit and God’s word from swearing oaths of any kind. Jas. 5:12 KJV;
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
The Letter That Kills
Notice particularly that British monarchs specifically swear to the; ‘utmost of Your power Maintaine the Laws of God the true Profession of the Gospell‘
How can a monarch who doesn’t know the Gospel maintain its true profession? For centuries none of the Royal Family has been saved, preferring rote lip-service and church attendance to genuine Christian faith. Instead, what is preached is man-made ‘Christian’ religion resulting in the decadence of morality abounding in Britain today. The UK has the highest teen pregnancy rate in Europe.
Prince Charles has already stated that; when he is crowned king, he wants the monarch’s title changed from ‘Defender of the Faith’, to ‘Defender of Faiths‘, or ‘Defender of Faith’, reflecting the, ‘multicultural nature of UK society.’
This is a doubly irony.
The title was originally bestowed by the Pope upon Henry VIII as a reward for keeping England in Bondage to Catholicism.
When Britain finally broke free of papal tyranny in 1536, the title was retained by Protestant monarchs, referring to the defence of the true Gospel of Christ. And for a brief time following the Reformation, the Gospel did flourish in the Sceptred Isle, then rapidly declined into the religious formalism and the nominalism we see today. Christian in name, but assuredly not in fact.
Prince Charles is a product of this spiritual decay, living his whole life under the Windsor curse, and aspires one day soon to utter it himself before God.
Come Lord Jesus, and put an end to this blasphemy and disgrace.
Repent from Religion: Receive The Living Christ and Be Saved
A Reminder to Charles the Third…
‘Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown’ Shakespeare’s Henry IV. Part II
<< Oliver Cromwell looks on the freshly-beheaded corpse of ex-King Charles the First.
Cromwell vanquished the Catholic king’s forces in the English Civil Wars, and was offered the Throne of England once Charles had met earthly justice for treason.
God-fearing Oliver refused the honour, knowing only One Person is fit to rule the hearts of men and women: The LORD Jesus Christ.
