May Her Successor 'Charles the Third' Indeed Uphold - As He Today In Fact Pledged Himself to Do - His Constitutionally-Ordained Role as 'Defender of the Faith'...For There Are Those Who Would Fain Challenge That Position/Stance (Even From Within His Own Family, Methinks)...

No, not in some sort of misguided allegiance to King Henry the 8th's opportunistic whim to divorce his wife, but because there are much larger issues at stake in coming years...

...and as Protestantism has now left off the protesting and has long since morphed into an ant, there remains for the true and steadfast believer the imperative to 

earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints

If need be at the very cost of their (earthly) lives.

"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."

'When first constrained to separate from the English Church, the Puritans had joined themselves together by a solemn covenant, as the Lord's free people, "to walk together in all His ways made known or to be made known to them." Here was the true spirit of reform, the vital principle of Protestantism. It was with this purpose that the Pilgrims departed from Holland to find a home in the New World... John Robinson, their pastor, who was providentially prevented from accompanying them, [then] said: I charge you before God and His blessed angels to follow me no farther than I have followed Christ, If God should reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth of my ministry; for I am very confident the Lord hath more truth yet to shine forth out of His holy word." Were we as willing in this our day of brightest midday sunlight to do as much!

'The Last TRUMP', 'the TRUMP of God' as 'Thus Spake' [the composers and compilers of] the 'King James Bible', 'the Authorized Version' five-some centuries ago now...

Yes, he - apparently - is  (depending, admittedly, upon how you happen to *read/understand/interpret these particular Scriptures) *And, sure, I'd never ever claim this as a biblical truism, much less declare to folk that the inclusion of selfsame scriptures  absolutely indicates anything at all  ('beyond' the printed page')... but I do consider it mighty interesting, to say the least...

"And as it was in the days of Noe [sic], so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married...they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe [sic] entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed."

[And therefore] take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come upon the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
