I am glad the Queen was bold about her faith in Jesus Christ. God kept her in the palm of His hands. She died at a very good age still believed in God. God saved the Queen indeed♥️🙏
i would hope so but all her fortune and excessive wealth taken from THE PEOPLE ? Doesn't lead down that road you speak of - Going to church doesn't get one in
@@forpetessake3532 Exactly….my sentiments as well….the only head of the church is Jesus Christ….NOT a earthly king or queen…
@@polskigirl8547 Jesus said "I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life, No One Comes To The Father Except Through Me". John 14:6
So it's not the Queen's earthly position or what she has done or not done, which saved her. It's her faith and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour, which saved her.

Few were bolder about their Christian Faith!!
Absolutely loved this interview! Especially the commentary about the future of Christianity- a reminder that we must remain faithful despite the direction of the West - and that ultimately it is in the Lord’s hands. Thanks be to God for His faithfulness!
Who can come after the Christ, but the Antichrist? It’s Islam + Communism. Europe will be Muslim; USA, Communist. This Pope is the last one. Rome will fall like Constantinople, like Jerusalem.
Yes and I can even forgive him for his Freudian slip , calling poor Sophie - Sophie of Sussex 😜
How do you account for the problem of gratuitous suffering?
@@mmhmm9271 The problem of evil is a strawman.
@@zephyr-117sdropzone8 I didn't mention the problem of evil - I actually happen to believe that Christians have a fairly compelling way of explaining that, i.e by appealing to free will.
I was instead talking about the problem of gratuitous suffering, which Christians have no compelling theological justification for. An example of the kind of suffering I'm referring to is the one hundred thousand children who die of cancer every year worldwide.
I realise that one can appeal to the Fall of Man as "justification" for such suffering, but that notion is not at all reconcilable with the idea of an omnibenevolent creator. Such a creator would not consign millions of people to short lives filled with gratuitous suffering, on the basis of a "sin" which they had no part in committing. Inherited blame (or intergenerational punishment - whatever you want to call it) is prevalent in North Korea, where children of dissidents are often put in concentration camps alongside their parents. Such a standard of punishment being adopted by the all-loving creator of the universe is a logical contradiction, however, since loving someone is irreconcilable with brutally punishing them for a crime which they did not commit. The presence of gratuitous suffering therefore constitutes conclusive evidence against the existence of the Christian God (not against divinity in general, it must be admitted), but if you have a counterargument I'd genuinely like to hear it. I hope that you can respond with intellectual charity and honesty rather than with scornful ad hominem, the latter of which is far too prevalent on social media platforms these days.
"Our lives are a gift of God" that was a much needed reminder to bring me to my knees. Thank you and God bless you.
“Christendom has had a series of revolutions and in each one of them Christianity has died. Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God (Jesus) who knew the way out of the grave.” *G.K. Chesterton*
Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all 😊
So true!! 💗💗💯👏👏
Amen
Which Christianities, specifically, though?
And what of Matthew 10:23, and 24:34, anyway?
Also, what was the executive action taken, during, say, the Inquisition, or the slave trade, within parts of Christendom?
Which was often, not united, historically.
Great quote!
@@chrissonofpear1384 the inquisition, like the crusades, were a GOOD thing. No need to apologize for them.
I love being a Christian♥️
Kissey Kissey fish Kissey
Ignore the mosquitoes ☺️
Amen! It's the best thing!🙏🕊❤🔥
This is because you do not read your bible nor history... May the only one true God guides you.
@@truthmatter9972 so which God is the true one?
As an American. I am deeply sorry to all in those in the UK, Canada, Australia, and the rest of the commonwealth for the loss of your Queen. God rest her soul.
As an american you should NOT support or admire a ruler . We planted as many royalist as we could to get out from under her relatives boots. Ignoramus. That royal religious crap has bleed the prople of britain dry. History written by the victors. Putin , stalin, Saudi, Trump all of them want to be Rulers can bugger off. We as a species would be better off without them. Capitalism and Atheism is our only hope for survival. GET OFF YOUR KNEES.
Thanks from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Lol what? What a weird comment “your ruler”🤦🏾♂️. You Americans are one big contradiction huh?
@@MohamedShou thats not an american thats a royalist . Basically a Canadian without 12 aircraft carriers.
It is less that she was our sovereign, and more that she was one of the last people of true integrity in public life globally.
He resigned from the Church of England after it was allowed for a Muslim to stand up in a Cathedral and read a passage from the Quran that explicitly denies the divinity of Christ.
This of course is a manifestation of the syncretic zeitgeist of the age where Jesus is emasculated to a sort of humanitarian social justice warrior and not the messianic figure that has a message that punches you very, very hard in the face.
@@musashimiyamoto586 You're off point here. You are wrong in conceptualising the mesage of the Gospel as one of love without criticism of others or yourself. Corrective Love is just as important as indulgent Love.
It is not a duty of a Christian to go around saying flattering platitudes to please people. Galatians 1:10 St Paul says 'If I wanted to please people I wouldn't be a servant of God'
Jesus says many divisive and harsh things in the four Gospels. For example he curses the fig tree Mark 11 and some at the judgement Matt 25.
It is absolutely permissible for a Christian to anathmetise error and falsehood. And also stand athwart those within Christianity that are lax against standing againstsuch heresy.
If you believe in the Gospel then Islam can only be viewed as a counterfeit revelation. Heretical and to be spoken vehmently against.
There is such a thing as the Apostle's Curse It is apt for those that stand up (or stand-by silently) in a Cathedral and read verses of the Quran that record Angel Gabriel revealing to Mohammed a prophetic vison denying Jesus is the son of God. Christians should not just ignore that out of an obligation of good neighbourliness.
In Galatians 1:8 it says:
"But even if we or an Angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached, let them be accursed.'
@@musashimiyamoto586 You're not an educated native speaker of English are you? How is your point proven? Try explaining it again more clearly.
@@musashimiyamoto586 Light/ right classic shibboleth for the Japanese native speaker. I didn't imply only English speakers are more educated. I just suspected you were foreigner.
@@musashimiyamoto586 absolutely. My Cornish ancestry can be traced back to before the Domesday book.
@@musashimiyamoto586 No I am from Penwith.
Amazing conversation. Beautiful tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth. So profoundly reflective. Extraordinary times ahead.
I agree, and what a thoroughly lovely man.
@@musashimiyamoto586 Hello Musashi, as a 71 yo Christian, I was born into a family that went back many generations as members of the Church of England. To answer your comment I will try to explain as briefly as possible why these times are considered perilous to many. As Christians and according to ancient Jewish texts, some of which form part of the Christian Old Testament, we believe that God sent his only begotten son to Earth to save humanity which he had created in his likeness. God's son's name was Jesus. Jesus forms the backbone of Christianity and as Christians we believe he is our salvation from eternal death. This was because so many of God's people were disobedient and were more interested in what Satan had to offer over what God had to offer and he would resort to killing them by sending natural disasters, plagues and other ways to kill those who did not take him seriously. However, in the New Testament of the Christian Bible we see a loving and less wrathful God who promises that all His people who acknowledge Jesus as their saviour, will live for eternity in heaven. The first step towards the wonderful outcome of living in Heaven with our Father God and his son, Lord Jesus was Jesus Birth in Bethlehem nearly 2000 years ago. The second step was, at the age of 30, he began preaching to the people in Judah and other areas of the Middle East about the Kingdom of God At the age of 33 years due to political issues at that time, Jesus was Crucified, died and was buried in a tomb. The next step was 3 days after he was Crucified, that Jesus arose from the dead as an alive Jesus (not a ghost) with the wounds on his hands and feet from the Crucifiction as well as the stripes (scars on his body from being whipped multiple times. Jesus remained on Earth for four weeks with his disciples to teach them to spread the Word of his death and resurrection to as many people as possible so they would know that Jesus' life was sacrificed to save their souls so that they could spend eternity in Heaven with Him, His Father and our loved ones. For 2000 years Jesus' word has been spread throughout the world to as many people as possible. The fourth and final part to Jesus life and purpose is that one day he will return to Earth and take his beloved believers back to heaven. Reading the Bible gives us clues about when the end times of this Earth will occur and it is because many of the prophecies mentioned in the Bible are happening right now on Earth that Christians believe that Christ will return to take us home to the beautiful real Earth God created for his people (all of humanity who acknowledge that God sacrificed his son, Jesus, for his beloved humanity. Blessings to all🙏🌱💗✝️🙏🕊🙏✝️💗🌱
I always search for Gavin's take on a subject when I need the truth, in this case, both historically and politically. Of much greater importance, he is a real man of God and, without fail, always replenishes my soul.
" I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered for everyone- for kings and all those in authority- so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity. This is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,…"
Thank you Justin. This is probably going to be the best reflection on the Queen that takes place over the next few weeks...the one I most wanted to hear
Really good conversation. I pray for the church in the UK. God it’s still in heaven and his will will be done.
I noted the Queen's Christmas messages got spirituality deeper as she aged each year!
I looked forward to them and listened deeply.
l noticed there was a message in each one for them for me :
She always spoke of God, and God in family:
Thank you Justin and Gavin. First time listening to your program. Everything you said is true, we are living in perilous times, we have to pray for oneanother. God bless you all.
We are indeed , but I will not yield , we have to remember we ARE the more than people - “We are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ our Lord…”. It’s not mine , yours or their battle but it is Gods. He never entered a Battle he didn’t win. In N.Y A167 , there is a stone to the Remembrance of The Battle of the Standard. It was costly and bloody Battle . We have to raise our level and raise our Standard - we can win , we can do this through Jesus, never say die !
I don’t know how I would survive without my Christian beliefs. I have no problem respecting & accepting others faiths. But I serve only my Lord & Savior. If you attend my family weddings, baptisms, funerals you will do it in my faith & my church. When you celebrate & grieve, I will attend your church to show respect.
Prayers are needed now more than ever
Thank you. Your learned guest spoke from a perspective rarely heard. Would that we hear more of him.
A massive " thank you" to you both, Justin and Gavin. May the Good Lord bless you abundantly! Amen 🙏
Awomen
You never disappoint Dr Ashenden thank you .
Do you know I thoroughly enjoyed it . In the 1970,s when I became Born Again , to the disgust and chagrin of my fellow Baptist’s , I went to Born Again Charismatic Catholic meetings in Newcastle and the Lord was there, I felt it was an enriching experience. The worlds greatest Theologian Karl Barth (Romerbrief) fell out with almost everyone along the way even his Protégée Dietrich Bonhoeffer. But when Barth met Catholic Hans Urst Von Balthazar (Agape Love the Way of Revelation) Barth felt inspired and reinvigorated. Well, just listening to them helped me to understand how Karl Barth must have felt inspired with Hans . And when we find a fellow soul we are indeed blessed and find it enriching , as it was here. I felt better just listening to their conversation - Thank you 🙏.
As a Christian, one believes in the power of prayer to stop events that sound ‘apocalyptic’. Repentance and the Holy Chalice shall keep this country blessed. Unwavering faith, trust in God and living by His Word. We must remember King Charles in our daily prayers. Thank you for this wonderful interview - it inspires us to keep praying, to keep trusting in God.
I appreciate yoir post, but there is no such thing as a "Holy Chalice". God alone is Holy, and the veneration of anything else is idolatry and blasphemy. Remember those old, ten commandments?!
There is a big difference between venerate and worship so please allow me to say that I do not worship a chalice, ‘chalice’ in this context referring to Holy Communion - verses 54 to 56, in the gospel of St John, chapter 6: “ Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinkers my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me and I in him.”
Let’s be honest, it’s rare that we hear teaching where we don’t want to come back at the teacher in a challenging way! This is one of those occasions Gavin/Justin- so I can thankfully just write Amen
1. Apart from where he lets slip @ 21:25 that he thinks Catholics will seize cities across the UK, excuse me... Muslims will take cities.
Something Nicola Sturgeon has used for EU leverage, check the demographics.
2. It would be interesting to know how Anglican clergy think they can have gay marriage and unity with Rome, or is that the idea, Rome wins when the CofE destroys itself 😢
Thank you for this interview. It helps to make sense of the current times we are living as a Christian. Tough times are ahead for our Faith. We have to continue to pray for Christianity in this country going forward. God bless! 🙏🏾
I see that many in London are coming to Jesus through open air ministry at Trafalgar Square.
What, in your opinion, is the reasons for the importance of Christianity in the UK?
@@mmhmm9271 God love all human beings. Due to Adam, sin entered but he prepared His Son Jesus to die on the Cross for us, sinners. Whoever believes that His son Jesus died for our sins, will be saved. (Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God wants every sinner to repent from their sin and to accept Jesus as their Saviour. Many Christians who are already God's children want to share their joy of being accepted as God's children and to share their faith in Jesus so that everyone come to accept Him and belong to heaven. I pray for you and hope that God's mercy will be poured upon you and that you as well as all those in the UK come to experience His love through Jesus Christ.
Not sure about the Queen. As sovereign she signed some pretty nasty Bills into law, including the 1967 Abortion Act. By contrast, the King of Belgium abdicated briefly to avoid having to sign his own country’s abortion legislation into law.
Failure to sign Parliamentary bills would have been a dereliction of duty and could have caused a civil war, destruction of the government , a constitutional crisis or all of the above. I applaud the Belgium king for his act, but Belgium is a tiny country whose only claim to relevance is being the center of the EU. Britain is much more important than tiny Belgium.
@@sophiachavez3377 Would you say the Queen can claim merit/credit for signing the Race Relations Act of 1965, 1968 and 1976?
Sadly, her son is batting for the wef team as their spokesperson. It’s clear whom he worships.
A beautiful and somber discussion. Thank you both from here in the US.
The death of the Queen really marks the end of an era 😢 We have squandered, and continue to devalue our rich Christian heritage to embrace the modern superstition of secular materialism, because it is a much easier path that makes a human the measure of all things.
Norma, you can be so absolutely spot-on sometimes! Elizabeth will be sadly missed. Charles thinks of himself as Defender of Faiths. People simply don't understand or appreciate the value of our Christian heritage.
@@deniss2623
We certainly need defenders of the faith in a largely faithless world.
Happy New Year, Denis.
I am in tears over the loss of the Queen. It is for many things but it the loss of the last true Christian in leadership. I know I will see her again. When I say God save the King, I prayerfully mean it.
She obeyed Gov not led it. True Christian. Come on.
@@musashimiyamoto586 What other leader of a state is a Christian?
@@musashimiyamoto586 Who? She is the head of State in the UK. Google is your friend.
@@musashimiyamoto586 Good to see you know it all. I chose my avatar to make it easy for those who lack imagination to have some sort of cheap comeback.
She was a decent woman and did her best in life , in the role she was placed 🙏
Amazing and a beautiful interview reminding us to be bold in our faith and continue to exalt Christ our as our saviour and ruler of this world.
Appreciating the legacy the Queen has left behind, which needs to be followed up instintctly to see that Christianity is not cowed down as cultural trends shift to lure the world whose faith has gone weak.
It surely has to be done through fervent prayers as just heard in the beautiful interview.
I very much admired her faith...she was such a faithful Christian, truly a believer.
“The reason you like her is because you can smell God in her” (c. 17:30). Dr Ashenden is always eloquent.
Yes , the Bible talks of us as a sweet aroma to God.
I was happy to hear how the Queen spoke of her faith. That was lovely insigh5.
I am just as worried about the future of the faith in Britain... the rest of the world will be watching.
I love Gavin Ashenden I believe every word he said about our country.
Yes, he is absolutely correct.
Thank you. Gavin speaks truth from God's presence. This is prophetic, not mere opinion.
We face big challenges in the UK today but we will trust in our Great Big God and continue to serve him. In the meantime we must pray for our earthly leaders that the Lord will gift them with wisdom, discernment, sensitivity and courage.
My late Father was an Anglican Minister, whilst going to see Billy Graham this was in the sixties it influenced my Dad into going to theological college in Rochester Kent his tutor was Stuart Blanch who then became Archbishop of York , after becoming ordained this was my Dads vocation rather than an occupation.
Thank you for sharing sadly prophetic insights; the profound example of The Queen’s faith; and your own shining witness to the Christian faith. May Our Lord and Savior receive her into His eternal embrace. May the Holy Spirit comfort those who grieve. And may the Peace of the Lord, which surpasses all understanding, be with us, by the mercy of God, now and always. Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam. Deo gratias.
Christian creed cannot die. Jesus is the word and He is eternal.
I am pleased to have stumbled upon this interview with Dr. Ashenden, an eloquent speaker, with a word of truth that people should heed. My grief over the passing of Queen Elizabeth is for the very reason upon which he reflected and has validated my concern. As the world has accelerated in its devolution, especially over these past 2 years, here in the US, a jackal sits in the Whitehouse feigning Christianity while promoting and espousing abhorrent policies that allow babies to be aborted up to birth, criminalizing peaceful protest while encouraging and allowing violent occupation of cities, jeopardizing our safety with open borders, releasing criminals, rewarding sloth, forcing the LGBTQ agenda in many facets, and labeling dissenters as racists to silence freedom of speech. I am so disgusted and would say, " well at least the Queen is still with us", because I felt she was the last vestige of Christianity on the world stage. I would also say, "I fear the day she passes". That day has come and I don't believe Charles will be as great of defender of Christianity as his Mom. She didn't waver in her commitment, because her unswerving faith was the basis for her integrity. The US was founded by Christian men with those same values and that is why this country has been blessed. Even atheists benefit under a Christian led nation. God is calling Christians home. I sure hope he comes soon because I don't want to live in a world without TRUE Christians. RIP Elizabeth 🙏
As an Irish Catholic I am very sad to see the queen die even though everyone in this country see the six counties
up north as being occupied because borders change and democracy will take its course.
Whats way more important is that for the short ntime we are here is that we obey what Christ commanded.
I for one want to see our closest neighbours and friends in England do well and sadly the traditional christian culture in
England and all western countries is in decline but the Queen dying is a huge blow,you can sence it..
it leaves the traditional British people rutherless.
God rest her soul..
Christendom will RISE again NOT far, from now! This is what I believe!
When the light went out around 400 a.D. in Britannia and on the continent, God sent St. Patrick to Ireland and from there the Gospel came back in new strenght. If Jesus should not be coming soon, we have still good reason to believe, that Christianity has the potential to be rekindled again by the Holy Spirit. We should not let go our hope.
A true Lady of profound conviction especially when it came to her faith. May she rest in Eternal Glory in the hands of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
This Queen was a lovely representation of grace, strength and restraint.❤
Excellent discussion! Thanks to the moderator for important questions, then letting Gavin Ashenden speak... which he does so intelligently, and with such grace and charm.
I learned many things about Queen Elizabeth II. It was very informative. Thank you for sharing this on UA-cam so I, too, could enjoy it. God bless you gentlemen.
Not sure about the conclusion, but the Queen's Yearly Christmas Messages were powerful encouragements.
Thank you to Gavin for this really important conversation, both covering the past and also sharing his thoughts on the future and thank you for hosting him, Justin! May God comfort the royal family during this difficult time and we are grateful to The Queen for her tremendous and tireless service for many, many years! May she rest in peace!
It will never be the same - very sad. She was an amazing person.
Amen
Oh how we miss our beautiful and faithful Queen, a true Christian.
Please Lord, let us remain a Christian country. We need Christ in our lives, He is life. It is concerning how secular we are becoming.
Sending sincere condolences to you, Fr. Ashenden. I am also a convert to the Catholic faith and enjoy your podcast very much. I feel the rainbows that appeared at Her Majesty's passing were heaven's bunting hung out in welcome. Our Lady wanted a special guest for her birthday. 😊 God bless you, good sir.
Don't insult Our Lady. You don't know these people. Research and discover they are enemies of Christ.
Well noted. Elizabeth did indeed pass on the day the Catholic Church celebrates the birth day of Mary Queen of heaven. A bridge not too far. Very apt your description of the rainbow as 'heaven's bunting'.
@@horizon-one If you are going to say Kristen is an insulting person, then first you must gently point out the difference between your personal faith as a Roman Catholic, and the faith of eg CS Lewis a Converted Catholic . And in that not be combative , regarding the distinction between Catholicism and Roman Catholicism . We are part of the Catholic Church you see. You seem to be taking umbrage with half understood Mariology .
@@xvsupremacy7190 Rainbow offers sign of God’s promise & as for the bridge, i personally believe that Queen Elizabeth II was >the< bridge between the Roman Catholic, Orthodox & Anglican Church while her father George VI was the bridge between the people of the Commonwealth regardless of race & her grandmother Queen Mary was a very strict Christian. None of them are perfect [just like most of us] but at least they tried to give their best out of that. "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted." [Gal 6:1].
@Dani As a practicing Catholic I find your comments insulting. Read Jesus’s words written in the Bible by His Apostles. Jesus’s followers are commanded to go out to the whole world baptizing and teaching all that He taught. It’s “Christians” like you that want to sit at home, privately hiding your faith under a basket. Just the exact opposite of what Jesus commanded. The Catholic Faith is to be exclaimed out in the world forever. We are to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit prisoners, love our neighbors. DO stuff! Go away and take that Bible you received from the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church and hide in your room! “Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will be saved.” Only those who DO the work of the Lord will be saved.
There is hope for Britain.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will heal their land.
That is in the Tanakh & speaking to the Jews
@@moniquesmith3236 Don't be so narrow in your thinking. The God of the Hebrews sent Jonah to Nineveh. He cares for Britain as well.
Her passing away does not only signal the end of Christendom, but also the end of the age of grace, God has had enough of evil men, and wicked men are about to be severely, and eternally punished.
@Hernandez, Amen, Gods wrath is coming, the Great Tribulation, worst 7 years of human history before Jesus Christ returns
You are correct, this is why I like Queen Elizabeth I felt presence in her.
Such a blessing to see gods love for all people now. Respect for all !!!
Such a lovely interview. Left me tearful. Spoken with such wisdom & love. Very touching. 🙏🙏🙏💒
What an articulate man! So measured.
Dying at a ripe old age has nothing to do with Holiness, let alone being good in a worldly sense.
"The Queen is with our Lord and Savior Jesus now" ☺❤💕💖👍
Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, awaiting the day of His return.
Doubtful
I love JESUS CHRIST because he paid in full with his Holy Blood and gave his life for me and others to enter Heaven washed from my sins by his Holy Blood. Thank you JESUS that you did not die in vane. And you are coming back very soon as the Church age is just about over. Praise be to our Saviour JESUS CHRIST AMEN. People I dare you to check JESUS out because he's waiting for you👍💯.
I’m an American. And our president is a Catholic who supports abortion and the church allows him communion. I have so much admiration and respect for Queen Elizabeth II, and hope that Charles will be a Christian king may be an angel needs to visit him.
Biden is not so much in support of abortion as in support of choice. As a Catholic this is considered a valid stance
Jesus Christ Lord of All thank You for this interview and for being our Hope and Joy in the days ahead and thank you your Majesty our late Queen for the role you played all these years with a Christian heart. God bless you Justin and Gavin and all who read this. AMEN.
About time someone spoke to Gavin about this...good call and thank you both . Blessings from Sydney Australia .
You never disappoint Dr Ashenden - thank you .
Great conversation! Thanks so much! 🎺
Amen May GOD Raise her up in GLORY✝️
Awomen
As much as I love and cherish the memory of Her Majesty the Queen, I would beg to disagree with the title of this video "end of Christendom", whether it pertains to Christendom in the U.K. or elsewhere.
The prophet Isaiah in the Word of God (Bible) was used of God to prophesy these words regarding the Kingdom of Jesus that is Christendom on earth, at least those who are born-again in Christ Jesus:
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 OF THE INCREASE OF HIS GOVERNMENT AND PEACE THERE SHALL BE NO END, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Jesus' everlasting kingdom is NOT dependent on any kingdom on Earth because it is an everlasting one with its throne in heaven upon which the Lord Jesus sits.
You are absolutely correct. There is only One head of the church and that's Jesus Christ. And there is absolutely no salvation apart from the Son of God. "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them." John 3:36
This should remind all of us that Jesus Christ is the only King and Judge of the earth. Who dares rouse Him?
Yes, Jesus is the ultimate King, but earth will go through a horrible tribulation first.
I took it he was talking metaphorically .
As a Scots-Maori i will miss our late Queen.
If we are workers for the Lord, we should pray, but also use our connection to the Lord to work against evil in whatever way we can.
She was faithful to her duty which is the mark of a good steward.
I for one am kind of excited that these things are coming to pass, not for the immediate results of course. This wonderful priest has avoided using scripture which is refreshing but he completely says what is written as is the truth. Everything he mentioned about the Queens Christian belief touches home as much as the sense of her at her death has touched us all. Thanks for this wonderful insight.
No, he did not avoid using Scripture, “He who endures to the end shall be saved” Nor should he avoid using Scripture for the Word of God is powerful , more powerful even than a two edged sword ⚔️… (Ephesians) it is our Warfare manual. Jesus IS the Everlasting Word … satanists have a worldly knowledge of The Word of God , and like the devil can quote it. … eg IF You are the Son of God then turn these stones into Bread (Heavenly Manna ) Jesus Replied with the Word. “It is written , thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and Him only shall you serve…Proverbs 15 says “One Word spoken in due season is like apples of gold (hem of his garment ) in pictures of silver.. (Pictures of silver is Refinement , the Silversmith has to keep gradually removing the dross , until the Silversmith can see a clear image , and the Bible says we are made in His final image , if we continue removing the dross from our Iives, the fripperies that once attracted us .) hence he shared “He who endures to the end shall be saved. Even if we in constancy end up hanging on by the hem of his garment .
Christendom will strengthen, and rise! The Head of the Church is Jesus Christ!
Yes Jesus Christ is the only head of the church. And there is absolutely no salvation apart from the Son of God. "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them." John 3:36
This should remind all of us that Jesus Christ is the only King and Judge of the earth. Who dares rouse Him?
I miss Elizabeth II so much. I believe that it was her faith that gave her the grace and strength to navigate her vocation as monarch of the U.K. and the Commonwealth.
Obviously the light is dimming
Since ww2 but God will keep his
People safe and Bring them to
Glory
Monarchs come and go but God
Reigns eternally!
God was with the Late QE2 during her 70 years reign. She was faithful till the end. RIP. We will meet.
Maybe a better title is the “beginning” of the end..
I do understand. Demographics alone where the white Christian majority will inevitably thus be the minority among the influx of immigration and low child birth rate of the original majority.
The misguided hard left will be caught off guard when sharia law will be a reality.
I offer my sincerest condolences from a believer in Asia.
We will all have to contend with new challenges brought about by our post modern post christian societies.
May our Lord have mercy on all of us as we keep the faith 🙏🙏🙏
I admire our late Queen . During her lifetime she could not openly express her own views on quite a number of matters. However she planned her own funeral in great detail, and only people who were deeply committed Christians were invited to take part. "" I have fought the fight , and kept the faith , "" God must hsve said to her, ""Well done my good and faithful servant. Enter Thou into the joy of Thy Lord ""
What a stupid ignorant title...
Our faith in Jesus doesn't rely on worldly kings and queens...
Our faith is an individually based with Jesus Christ the Redeemer...
I didn't realize that there was any such thing as a 'Christian Country'. I know that worldwide there are countries which contain Christians. Also historically and currently there are countries which have an established 'Church'. But arguably none of these would meet the definition of a 'Christian country' in a biblical sense. And to a large extent the same thing applies for the phrase 'Christian Home' or 'Christian Background'. It seems the term 'Christian' has lost it true meaning.
Only to the Godless
We are the Church, His people , that is why it is called The Church Victorious . Jesus/Yeshua said “This message will be preached in ALL and to the ends of the earth, then shall the end come…” He gives His people a Vision as to the ends of the earth 🌍 to me it was India/Africa, to others the Philippines, South America, America , UK 🇬🇧 , to John Knox it was Scotland 🏴 “Give me Scotland lest I die “. He makes just ordinary people Visionaries because “Without a vision the people will perish “.
Great interview - the Queen set a great example - tough days ahead for the UK religiously and culturally
Thanks for the interview very helpful insight.
Thank you, Dr Ashenden - you are right about fighting for the Truth - the country has turned away, after the church turned away from the Truth. I have not fought anything like as hard as you, but with a lot less to fight with. May God help us all to stand up for the Truth, and let the Light shine through us, as the darkness deepens.
The Queen has Bowed before the King of Kings. She is Home. Will meet you one day! Will miss you. Love from 🇨🇦.
The Queen brought me back to Christianity.
I would love to hear that story.
@@thestraightroad305 It was watching her Coronation that was so amazing. And it reminded me of when I was at my Church of England school. And when I was happy. So I gave up my atheism and went back to believing.
@@Fanny_Snuffle I have watched her Coronation video over and over…I was only 2 at the time. But I am always moved and awed by the thought, prayer, and every effort to honor God in the whole service. And her clear determination and faith as she said the words that bound her to her country her whole life to be the Servant of her people. She has been an example to me of perseverance and faith and grace in the midst of trouble. And one can’t say enough about her wisdom. I’m only an American of English-Scottish heritage but I loved and honored her. Thank you for sharing your story.
@@thestraightroad305 The Archbishop of Canterbury at the time Geoffrey Fisher had really good oratory. Much better than the current chump Justin Welby who did Charles' one.
@@Fanny_Snuffle Agreed!
Speechless. Thank you.
Notice the tolling of the bell on the clock when he mentions Islam.
Daniel 7:14
And he was given authority, glory and sovereign power, all nations and people of every language worshipped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
Wonderful discussion thank you both so very much.
I am a Canadian and was born in 1953. I am protestant Christian, fully believing& experienced the Holy Presence of all 3 persons of the creator & Saviour. I will miss the Queen. I thank God for her. She is a face on our 20.00 dollar bill. She has her youthful picture hanging in the Canadian Legion. Thank you from Peterborough Ontario Canada.🐑
With regards to your heading on this interview. This is not the end of christianity maybe it the end of the Church of England.
delightful and insightful man of God
i think one can see through her children and grandchildren weather she was a Christian or not… what else could she say when she was the head of the Anglican church, but speak the words…But she wasnt vocal about her faith at all and I didnt see her doing anything to promote her faith. God knows if she was born again… probably not me thinks.
Listening in from Ireland.
We will prevail ,praise the Lord.
I liked the Queen but she signed Abortion into law.. I hope she repented.
I’m glad you finished on that I like his ending.
Thank you for your talk. 👍
"And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
Peter was not the Rock - Jesus was referring His Father God as the Rock on which His church will be built. And Peter never believed the church will be built on him
It's good to be a Christian. Jesus stands for things that are good, not evil, life, not death, health, not "sin".
"What the religious left does not understand"...there is such a thing as truth. A truth that unifies everything human.
He did address that issue , with the ubiquitous practice of eg New Age/Buddhism attempting to supersede Christianity.
Interesting thought provoking
The Queen was friends with Billy Graham I’m sure he led her to Christ by praying for her , she invited him several times to preach i balmoral and Windsor castle in the chapel.
Hamtramck, Michigan, a city literally surrounded by the City of Detroit, was a completely Catholic town in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. It is now majority Pakistani, Muslim with a city council dominated by Muslimss. The town was famous for its Polish culture when I was young. And there is a (not particularly attractive) monument to St. John Paul II who visited on September 19, 1987. Near the statue are three Catholic churches in a row. You now see Muslims parking their cars and getting out to say their prayers throughout Metropolitan Detroit. Again, nice people, but meanwhile the Archdiocese of Detroit is collapsing and broke even as the chancery continues to harass traditional parishes including mine before I left the state.
