If you have been watching any of the BBC coverage of the various events connected to the mourning of the death of Queen Elizabeth, or even some of the coverage on other networks, you have in my humble estimation seen humanity at its highest. That is especially important considering the terrible things and behaviors we see in leaders and various groups and peoples in the US and other nations today, a regular daily montage of horror and lies and deception.
When we look in on the United Kingdom, we see literally millions of persons quietly mourning and honoring the Queen. Huge numbers line the streets everywhere, whether in London or Windsor or Edinburgh, or other places. They wait and wait, to see the Queen’s coffin pass buy, to see some of her family, to see some of the ceremony.
They wait solemnly and with respect, yet with celebration of her life. They talk with each other in the waiting lines. When the coffin passes by, there are tears and there is applause. The people are clearly moved.
I haven’t seen the kind of excellent human behavior we are seeing right now on our televisions and the Internet in many years. It is a small family funeral expanded thousands fold to involve all the peoples of the earth who want to be involved.
Yesterday I saw an interview on the street of a woman who had flown from a far away country and had just passed by the coffin to pay her respects. She had obviously been crying. And she answered some questions as to why she had come and what it had meant to her. And of course I could identify with her. So could anyone who has a heart, a soul, certainly anyone who loves the Lord.
Why is it here in the last moments before Jesus returns to collect his believers we have been given such a massive display and example of love and affection, of caring, a massive display of millions of people getting along well with each other?
It is a massive display of people caught up in what really matters in life – the relationship of one human with another, the respect of one for another, the honoring of a life quite apparently lived for the benefit of others. When I hear all the stories of the Queen’s life, I wonder where do people like that come from? Someone who willingly sacrifices her life for others, who lives life under a microscope in full view of the world. I do of course know where her strength and character come from – that comes from the Lord, from her faith which has been noted many times.
It would be wonderful if all people could see what is going on and identify with the family and with the people caught up in honoring this Queen. It would be wonderful if they could escape so many false causes and objectives and deceptive issues, so many false prophets, even for a moment. Yes that would be wonderful.
If you can, spend some time watching especially the funeral and all the procession and such on Monday. Watch some of those hundreds of thousands filing past the bier. Listen to the wonderful scriptures that have been and are being spoken throughout by the priests. And perhaps for just a moment say a prayer for the royal family, for those caught up in all this every day in full view of the world. Imagine your family in such a situation. Say a prayer for the new King who has not it appears really had time to himself since all this started; rather he has been going forward just as his mother did, going here and there, meeting with all sorts of people as his reign begins.
The real eternal King is soon to come and we will be moving forward with him. In eternity. In his Kingdom in Heaven and then again back on earth.
God bless the Queen. And thank God for giving us these few moments of peace and love to see what can be and should be the human condition on earth.
