God's Covenant and Britain The British Throne
British Kings and Queens since James 1st are crowned sitting upon the 'Stone of Scone', (Jacob's pillar stone -Genesis 28 : 10-22 ) so called because it was housed at Scone in Scotland for centuries, where the Scots kings were crowned upon it, and before that in Ireland where it served the Irish kings. All these kings were of David's line, as history fully documents.

That is why the Royal Standard of Britain stands upon the motto:

DIEU ET MON DROIT

'GOD AND MY RIGHT',


and is supported on either side by a lion picturing the tribe of Judah, from whom David and our royal family are descended, and a unicorn which has always been the emblem of the British people, the leading tribe within the twelve tribes of Israel, the tribe of Ephraim.

Anciently, God made a covenant with His people the house of Israel. The Hebrew word for 'covenant' is beriyth, or berith. The Hebrew for 'man' is iysh or ish. In English the ending - 'ish' means of or belonging to (a specified nation or person). In Hebrew, vowels were missed out in the spelling. So, leaving out the 'e' from berith, but retaining the 'y' sound, we have the anglicized Hebrew word for covenant - brith.

The Hebrews never pronounced their 'h's' so the Hebrew word for covenant would be pronounced brit. Add the -ish and you have the name for 'covenant man' or 'covenant people' - British. The key of David is but a tiny sample of the overwhelming evidence of our identity, which will appear in the following titles, and with this knowledge you possess the key to understanding our future from the prophecies of the Bible. It is the first step on a most exciting journey involving your future destiny - a destiny beyond our dreams, but firmly anchored in the unbreakable word of the Living God.
