Judah's Septere and Joseph's Birthright - Series 2 Chapter 7 The Sceptre or the Promise of a Perpetuated House, Throne and Kingdom to David - J. H. Allen - 1902

J. H. Allen

In connection with the record of the fact that the "high," or ruling, Prince of Judah has been uncrowned and dethroned, and that the "low" has been crowned and placed on the throne, we find that a royal prince, a royal princess and the ten-tribed kingdom of Israel are all together in the same country, also that this royal pair are united and placed on a throne, and are ruling over the kingdom of Israel. These facts are recorded in the seventeenth chapter of Ezekiel in the form of a riddle and a parable, which, together with their explanation, make up the subject matter of the entire chapter, which opens as follows: "And the word of the Lord came unto me saying, Son of man put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; and say, Thus saith the Lord God, etc." (Ezekiel 17:1-3) - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
