But we see Jesus,
who was made a little lower than the angels
for the suffering of death,
crowned with
glory and honour;
that he by the grace of God should taste
death for every man.
Hebrews 2:9
The month of June has brought a new focus on CROWNS, royalty, and ultimately to the heavenly
throne and our Savior and eternal King!
And I looked, and behold a white cloud,
and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man,
having on his head a golden
crown,
and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:14
The events this month keep us focused on CROWNS – the Queen’s 65th Coronation
anniversary, the TRIPLE CROWN race at Belmont won by the horse Justify, etc.! The symbols keep catching our attention!
Even the news
media draws awareness to CROWNS and KINGS!

JERUSALEM — An enigmatic sculpture of
a king's head dating back nearly 3,000 years has set off a modern-day
mystery caper as scholars try to figure out whose face it depicts.
The 2-inch sculpture is an exceedingly rare
example of figurative art from the Holy Land during the 9th century B.C. — a
period associated with biblical kings. Exquisitely preserved but for a bit of
missing beard, nothing quite like it has been found before.
The royal figurine is made of faience, a
glass-like material that was popular in jewelry and small human and animal
figurines in ancient Egypt and the Near East.
The bearded figure's hair is pulled back in
thick locks that cover the ears, and is held in place by a striped
diadem of gold. Its hairstyle looks similar to the way ancient Egyptians
depicted neighboring Near Eastern peoples in art.
[The identity is unknown] it could
be kings Ben Hadad or Hazael of Damascus, Ahab or Jehu of Israel, or Ithobaal
of Tyre, all characters appearing in the biblical narrative.

A Rare Sculpture—Possibly of a Biblical Monarch—Puts a Face on
Ancient Israel
Archaeologists
working in the ancient city of Abel Beth Maacah in northern Israel have found a
detailed miniature sculpture of a head.
The sculpture
depicts a man with long, black hair and a beard who is wearing a yellow and
black headband. He has dark, almond-shaped eyes and a serious expression on his
face. Carved in a glazed ceramic called faience, the head is only about 2
inches by 2.2 inches in size and was once part of a small statuette, now lost,
that was 8 to 10 inches [high]. . . .
The quality of the
carving and its seemingly careful placement inside a possible administrative
building at the peak of the city indicate that it depicts an elite person. . .
. “We’re guessing probably a king, but we have no way of proving that,” …

The Holy Crown
Turban (Heb. misnepet, "wound around"). According to
Josephus and Philo the turban of the
high priest consisted of an ordinary priest's cap with a turban of
dark blue color
over it. On the front of this latter was a diadem of pure gold (i.e., a
thin gold plate) on which was engraved "Holy to the Lord," fastened
with a dark blue cord <Exo. 28:36-38; 39:30-31>.
Exodus 39:19

There are five heavenly crowns
mentioned in the New Testament that will be awarded to believers. They are
the imperishable crown, the crown of rejoicing, the crown of righteousness, the
crown of glory, and the crown of life. The Greek
word translated “crown” is stephanos (the source for the name Stephen the martyr) and
means “a badge of royalty, a prize in the public games or a symbol of honor
generally.”
