Saw this on the highlight reel of King Charles III's coronation. It is not often you feel like you see the counterfeit in the spirit of the proceedings. The Sword Of Offering is redeemed off the Altar with money. I wonder who thought up that idea cause it feels a long way from the top. ( Gettin' ripped off. Underpaid, Gettin' sold second-hand. )

This 4:44 minute video even from my layman's perspective touches on several scriptures and quite a few of them have prophetic overtones. There are some context issues in quoting some of the verses the way I have. Jesus is also doing some context issues in the way he is talking but if you can see him you might also see the father which might offer some type of discernment.
Matthew 10:34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, Matthew 26:52 "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword”
The Jewelled sword of offering is redeemed by money from the Altar of God but the whole theme throughout the bible is redemption by the blood of the lamb. It's almost surprising they did not use 30 pieces of silver.
Give to God what is God's. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's
Render Unto Caesar
This phrase has become a widely quoted summary of the relationship between Christianity, secular government, and society. The original message, coming in response to a question of whether it was lawful for Jews to pay taxes to Caesar, gives rise to multiple possible interpretations about the circumstances under which it is desirable for Christians to submit to earthly authority.

Numbers 24:17 “I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the people of Sheth.
The Coronation Chair
The Coronation Chair was made by order of Edward I to enclose the famous Stone of Scone,
Stone of Scone
Legends abound concerning the Stone of Scone. Tradition identifies it with the one upon which Jacob rested his head at Bethel - "And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it" (Genesis chapter 28, verse 18)

Zayin is the number 7 in Hebrew. Can mean sword and bread has a Gematria value of 67. The number 67 only occurs in one place in the bible. It has to do with priests.
Nehemiah 7:72 The total given by the rest of the people was 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver and 67 garments for priests.
The number 7 with 72 for chapter and verse is interesting. The number 72 is concerning the High Priest.
Psalm 67
Psalm 67 is commonly called the Menorah Psalm. This is because it has 7 significant verses out of a total of 8 verses. (We usually do not count the first verse of a Psalm since it frequently is announcing the Name/Type of Psalm).
As an aside there are co-incidentally 10 types of Psalms. The word Psalm or Tehillim in Hebrew has the meaning of song.

Israel's Hidden Ancient Facts
January 30, 2022 - 72 Golden Bells
In 2011 a rare golden bell, in the shape of a pomegranate was discovered in a drainage channel near the Temple Mount along the route to the Siloam Pool (Shiloah) at the southern end of the City of David. The Second Temple artefact was thought to be one of 72 similar bells adorning the hem of the High Priests garment.
A commentary from Zohar (2:95a), on the preceding sections of Exodus known as Mishpatim discusses a donkey driver whose knowledge of Torah was not sought referring; "that donkey driver, is he here? For sometimes in those empty ones, you may discover bells of gold" The commentary associates the sound of the hidden bell with the concealed presence of God in the world.
But, the proof text that this is in fact a bell from the garment of the High Priest may lie in a word relationship to Exodus 25:12 that discusses the four gold rings (אַרְבַּ֣ע פַּעֲמֹתָ֑יו). These rings were cast onto the four corners of the ark through which the poles, that suspended it for transport were secured.

I feel I should say something a little weird, perhaps it will mean something to somebody. Yes, I can steal signs. ( Hebrew is read right to left which would make the number 67 the number 76 )
