THE CORONATION OATH

The Coronation Oath (from the Order of Service for the Coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953) is administered vy the Archbishop of Canterbury in the form of questions:

Archbishop of Canterbury: Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the Peoples of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,the Union of South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon, and of your Possessions and the other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs?
Queen: I solemnly promise so to do.
Archbishop: Will you to your power cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all your judgements?
Queen: I will.
Archbishop: Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them
Queen: All this I promise to do.[citation needed]

Then the Queen, arising out of her chair, supported by peers and with the Sword of State being carried before her, goes to the altar to make her solemn oath in the sight of all the people to observe the premises by laying her right hand upon the Holy Gospel in the great Bible (which was before carried in the procession and is now brought from the altar by the archbishop, and tendered to her as she kneels upon the steps), saying:

Queen: The things which I have here before promised, I will perform and keep. So help me God.[citation needed]
Then the Queen kisses the Bible and signs the Oath.

This oath is a promise to God - who is Jesus Christ, come amongst us, born in a stable at an inn in Bethlehem 2000 years ago, who was murdered 33 years later for refusing to deny his divinity. The charge against him was blasthemy. All the people knew he was an amazing man, like no man who has ever been born, a man with the power to turn water into wine, feed thousands of people with a few scraps of food, make blind people see, make crippled people be able to hop and skip, walk on water and make dead people - not just fresh dead people but actual days old corpses come back to life. They all witnessed these things, and yet this man was stitched up in a SECRET TRIAL and murdered by the judicial and religious system.

Spot the difference between those days and nowadays. When you have men like Ex Senator Stuart Syvret CLEARLY stitched up in a trial so corrupt that even the Monty Python team could not parody it, as it is already a complete and utter farce,

Not only Stuart Syvret, but all over the UK thousands of people are finding themselves banging their vheads against brick walls in desperation because they are being put through the mincing machine of this horrible evil corrupt injustice system, and it is actually making people physically ill.

The Queen must make a stand. I have already appealed to her, and other people have too. She made a promise to God to govern this country in a way fitting to please God, and the way things are right now God is not going to be very happy. How is God going to be happy about all the stitch ups and corruption of the so called justice system?
