Reflections of an Admirer of the late Queen Elizabeth

A godly inheritance

Queen 2 God never wanted Israel to have a king, because God was the King of Israel. Nevertheless, when there was a good king, such as David or Jehoshaphat or Hezekiah, who put their trust in the Lord, God would bless them.

We, too, in Britain have been blessed with a godly monarch for most of my life. I grew up in the East End of London with bombs falling all around and King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother refusing to shelter in Canada for the rest of the war. Instead, they chose to stay in London with their people, sharing in the dangers, and we loved them for their faithfulness. Queen Elizabeth II inherited many of the godly characteristics and values of her parents and she herself came to a personal faith in God.

A word from the Lord

Monica and I had a dear friend, a truly godly woman who was filled with the Holy Spirit. We loved to visit with her and enjoy the presence of Jesus in godly fellowship. She was a cousin of the Queen and every autumn she used to go to Balmoral to stay in a cottage in the grounds and spend time with her Majesty.

Queen Elizabeth II inherited many of the godly characteristics and values of her parents and she herself came to a personal faith in God.

Every year, a week or so before she went, she would contact us asking if I had any word from the Lord to take to the Queen. Each year for a period of about 15 years I gave her something I felt the Lord had shared with me, and sometimes also asked David Noakes who would also regularly contribute a word.

Our friend used to report that as soon as she arrived, one of the first questions the Queen asked was – did she have a word for her? They would then spend time together discussing it and praying together. The Queen was a truly godly lady who cared deeply for the nation and her children. I couldn’t help feeling, however, that she was blinded to what her ‘favourite’ son Andrew was doing, and neither David or I ever received a revelation about him; if we had done, we would surely have passed it on to her.

Ungodly laws

I have spent forty years of my life warning that the nation was losing its godly heritage through a series of ungodly Acts of Parliament in which we have turned our backs upon God.

Neither David or I ever received a revelation about Andrew; if we had done, we would surely have passed it on to her.

This sorry process began with the Witchcraft Act of 1951 followed by the Obscenity Act of 1959. Then came the Abortion Act of 1967 and the Sexual Offences Act in the same year. The following year appeared the Theatres Act (1968), which removed censorship, and shortly after, the Divorce Reform Act of 1969.

In more recent times we’ve seen the appearance of the Children Act (1989), and in the 1990s, the Sunday Trading Act (1993), the Education Act (1996) and the Finance Act 1999, which removed the marriage allowance. The new millennium has witnessed the Civil Partnership Act 2004, and the Gender Recognition Act in the same year, followed by the Equality Acts of 2006 and 2010, and the Same-Sex Marriage Act in 2013.
All of these were ungodly Acts whereby the nation turned further away from God, and which the Queen was forced to sign into law, despite it being the one part of her job that she hated doing.

Shaking the pillars of society

Our ministry team gave many warnings as the nation turned its back upon God and our biblical heritage – many of these were published in our printed magazine Prophecy Today. We warned that God was going to shake every part of our national life – all our social institutions, including the monarchy.

Since her death there has been no one at the helm to intercede on behalf of the nation, and we have not had God-fearing Governments.

I nevertheless believed that the Hand of the Lord was there to guide and protect the nation so long as the Queen lived. Since her death there has been no one at the helm to intercede on behalf of the nation, and we have not had God-fearing Governments.

As a result, we are now seeing the fruit of what has been sown, with much more yet to be revealed. God is indeed shaking the nations as He promised in Hebrews 12: “So that what cannot be shaken may remain… A kingdom that cannot be shaken” (verses 26–27).

Therefore, none of us who love Jesus should be afraid, because it is God who is shaking everything. He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver to cleanse and purify – preparing the way for the kingdom that cannot be shaken.

It's generally accepted by legal experts on the constitution that the Sovereign no longer has any power to withhold Royal Assent to a Bill that has completed all its stages in both Houses of Parliament. Bills are usually presented to the King in batches, and his role is limited to that of a notary, to certify that each Bill has been duly passed - he is not an estate of the Realm as his predecessors may have been. A point that has been missed about the Abortion Act 1967 is that the Supreme Court decided in the case of the Greater Glasgow Health Board v Doogan & anor [2014] UKSC 68 that section 4 of the Act (conscientious objection) applies only to acts made lawful by section 1 - participating in an abortion in a "hands on" capacity. Criminal participation of any other description has never been lawful. Ann Furedi has been a campaigner for abortion all her life and for many years was the Chief Executive of BPAS. In her book "The Moral Case for Abortion" she defines abortion as "the intentional destruction of the fetus in the womb, or any untimely delivery brought about with intent to cause the death of the fetus." Both limbs of this definition of abortion include intent to cause death - the mental element of murder. Add an overt act that goes beyond mere preparation for the completion of a crime, and there is an attempted murder contrary to section 1 of the Criminal Attempts Act 1981. An English court in the time of Queen Elizabeth I - R v Sims (1601) Goulds 174; 75 ER 1075 - explained the born alive rule as a rule of evidence, that proof of causation of death depends on the live birth of the victim - a defendant is not assisted where causation of death need not be alleged in order to prove crime: “… for if it be dead born it is no murder for non constat (it does not necessarily follow) whether the child were living at the time of the batterie or not; or if the batterie was the cause of the death, but when it is born living, and the wounds appeare in his body, and then he dye, the batteror shall be arraigned of murder, for now it may be proved whether these wounds were the cause of the death or not, and for that if it be found, he shall be condemned.” So Queen Elizabeth II did in fact recriminalise abortion in 1981. The courts just haven't noticed yet.

Any tendency to eulogize any of the royal household (up to the level of the monarchy) should read - inter alia - the Committee of 300. It was written by Dr. John Coleman, an English secret service agent and a committed Christian. His book exposed shocking facts of those involved in pulling the strings in our world; and the motives and the behaviour involved.

Britain’s decline in faith has been gradual, beginning before the First World War as industrialisation, urbanisation, and the rise of higher reasoning eroded traditional belief. Many churches moved away from Biblical Christianity, focusing on social or moral preaching rather than evangelism, while racism in white churches alienated Black Christians. This cumulative decline was compounded by moral and political failures, including not honouring the Balfour Declaration regarding Israel. It’s clear the issues are structural and long-term, not the fault of the monarchy.

Thank you, Clifford. And blessings. Your listing of the various ungodly acts which have marked our departure from God's ways is particularly helpful. Another not listed was the legalisation/promotion of on-line gambling - which, along with it's evil sister pornography, have encaptured and subjected vast swathes of our society to their harm. Do you have detail/timings of these events also.

I am afraid I would differ Clifford. We should never forget it was the Queen who signed off legislation decriminalising Obscene Publications and allowing Divorce, Abortion and Same Sex marriage. I also believe it was the Coronation Oath teaching series that I recorded with Clifford Denton that prompted the late Queen to speak of her faith, notwithstanding the Royal families long association with Freemasonry. Granted the situation has almost certainly be one more opaque with King Charles but let's not get too carried away with rose tinted glasses.
