READY FOR THE BIGGEST WAYMARK COOKIE OF THEM ALL!!!
THE
TWO STICKS
The two sticks
that formed one stick - as plain as the stripes on a flag
From
the Prophet Ezekiel
“Moreover,
thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it for Judah, and
for the
children of Israel, his companions. And then take another stick, and
write upon
it, for Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel,
his
companions; and join them one to another into one stick, and they shall
BECOME
ONE IN THINE HAND.” Ezekiel 37:16-17
Don't
you just love verses such as the one above – when they show up by
Divine
Providence, they are sooooo plainly obvious to those that seek. Up
until the
year 1603, the English Anglo Saxons [Joseph] and [Judah] Celtic Scot's
crowns
and thrones were as separate as two sticks lying side by side. However,
in
1603, there came about unification of these two kingdoms and from that
day
until the present, ONE Monarch reigns over the United Kingdom of Israel.
In
1603, a member of the Stewart Dynasty, King James VI, succeeded to the
English
Crown, uniting the throne and the crown, however, the Union of the
Parliaments
took place in 1707. Today, the two Crowns remain united under ONE
single
Sovereign, that of the present Queen Elizabeth, but there is more. Two
'sticks'
were made ONE.
James’
reign was from March 24, 1603 to March 27, 1625. He was born on June
19, 1566
at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland. James died on March 27, 1625. King
James was
from the Royal House of Stuart, and was the son of Lord Darnley and
Mary, Queen
of Scots.
Upon
the arrival of James I in London, he was almost immediately faced by
religious
conflicts in England. James was presented with the Millenary Petition;
which
supposedly contained one thousand signatures of Puritans requesting
further
Anglican Church reform. He accepted the invitation to a conference in
Hampton
Court, subsequently delayed due to the dreaded plague. In 1604, at the
Hampton
Court Conference, James was unwilling to agree to most of their
demands. He did
however; agree to fulfill a request that was to have a far-reaching
effect by
authorizing an official translation of the Bible, which came to be
known as the
King James Bible.
The
‘Treaty of Union’, which declares that England and Scotland shall
become one
kingdom with the same monarchy and succession with equal trade and
economic
rights, was fully implemented in the year 1707. When the Treaty was
drawn up,
it began its progress first through the Scottish Parliament, beginning
October
1706, ratified January 1707, and then through the English Parliament
[ratified
March 1707]. The Act of Union of 1800 merged the Kingdom of Ireland and
the
Kingdom of Great Britain [itself a merger of England and Wales and
Scotland under
the Act of Union 1707], to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and
Ireland on 1 January 1801.
“The
state of monarchy is the most supreme
thing upon Earth, for kings are not only God’s lieutenants upon Earth,
and sit
upon God’s throne, but even by God himself are called Gods... and so
their
power after a certain relation compared to divine power... for if you
will
consider the attributes to God, you shall see how they agree in the
person of a
king... to dispute what God does is blasphemy... so it is sedition in
subjects
to dispute what a king may do in the height of his power. I would not
have you
meddle with such ancient rights of mine as I have received from my
predecessors...” Source: this was written by King James I.
Now
for the two sticks that became one: The Scottish flag depicts the stick
for
Judah, which has a pretty blue field [background] with a white Saltier
[X
shaped cross] that goes from corner to corner. This Saltier Cross is
known as
Saint Andrew's Cross. The flag of England depicts the stick of Ephraim,
which
has a pure white field [background] and a bright red cross, which is
called the
St. George's Cross. When these two 'sticks', or Crosses, are put one on
top of
the other, you have the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
This flag
is called the 'Union Jack', or the union
of Jacob.
“Howbeit
the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be
king
over Israel forever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of
the house
of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he
liked me
to make me king over all Israel.” Source: King David speaking. Could
have been
the words of King James I.
Deut
33:7 ‘And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, Lord, the
voice of
Judah, and bring him unto his people [Judah was brought to his people,
Israel]:
let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from
his
enemies’. After Babylon murdered Judah’s King Mattahniah aka Zedekiah,
and the
crowned Princes; the remnant of Judah was brought to their brethren
people [by
Jeremiah], in the height of the northern Isles [Scotland], and the Lord
blessed
and helped Judah’s remnant, and the tender twigs [princesses] became a
powerful
nation of people, keeping in tact the throne of David as promised -
forever.
1
Chronicles 5:1 ‘Now the sons of Reuben [France] the firstborn of
Israel, for he
was the firstborn son; but forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed,
his
birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the
genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright’. Here we see that
the
birthright went to Ephraim.
Psalms
60:7 ‘Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the
strength of
mine head; Judah is my lawgiver. Gilead is a 'heap of stones', such as
in England.
King James brought forth the ‘King James Bible’, he was the chief
lawgiver.
The
two sticks have been joined together – there can be no doubt in
anyone's mind
about who Judah and Ephraim are today. The two sticks, laid one on top
of the
other, refers to the flag of Great Britain.
