Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest at Windsor Castle on Monday 19 September 2022. Her funeral was attended by an estimated 2,000 guests, including world leaders and heads of state, according to the BBC. After the state funeral, the coffin was taken to Windsor Castle, England for a committal service, followed by a private family ceremony. The Queen, who died on September 8 at the age of 96, was buried alongside her later husband Prince Philip, and her parents, King George VI and the Queen Mother. I thought of the late queen while reading Acts 13:36. Like King David, the Queen arguably served God’s purpose in her own generation and died. In the words of Kristy Young “She made history, she was history. Queen Elizabeth II has gone, but she will surely never be forgotten.” However, there is another King, ‘the one whom God raised from the dead never to die again.” While we should respect and pray for the earthly kings and leaders, we should never fail to worship and bow before the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, who lives forever and ever! One more thing, this Everlasting King is coming back to rule all the people of the earth in peace for 1,000 years. How excited are you about His coming?

I’m not sure where you’re getting your information, but good topic. I needs to spend some time learning more or understanding more. Thanks for great information I was looking for this info for my mission.
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt fail me just as much as this one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read through, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something that you could possibly fix if you werent too busy searching for attention.
