Many will remember the vivid picture of Tommy Sheridan being sworn in as an MSP when he infamously lifted a fist in defiance of the monarchy instead of the customary open hand.
I was reminded of this when reading the following today:
It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
PSALM 144:10,11
The word "vanity" means lies, deceit. Psalm 144 is a psalm of David. Our present Queen is, of course, descended from King David and sits on the Throne of David. Tommy Sheridan's defiance of this Throne has been recompensed to him. He has reaped what he has sown. His refusal to pledge true allegiance to God's instrument of dominion on planet earth has resulted in his being judged for speaking lies. Just as his right hand is one of falsehood i.e. he refused to properly give his sworn oath of fealty, so his perjurous mouth has been exposed.
This is a very sobering instance of God defending the Davidic Throne and dealing severely with its detractors. Those who oppose our monarchy, beware. To do so is to oppose the Living God.
On a personal level, I feel sorry for Mr Sheridan. I wish he didn't have to go to jail. But God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, he must reap. I pray Mr Sheridan finds God and throws himself on His mercy.
If you would like more information on our British Throne being the continuation of the biblical Throne of David, please email me at theemrys@mail.com.
