Archbishop: Receive this Orb, set under the cross, and remember<br />

that the whole world is subject to the Power and<br />

Empire of Christ our Redeemer.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Archbishop then delivered two sceptres into the Queen’s<br />

hands, as in depicted in the enthronement of Pharaohs in Egypt. Into the<br />

Queen’s right hand, the Archbishop placed the Sceptre with the Cross<br />

saying:<br />

Archbishop: Receive the Royal Sceptre, the ensign of kingly<br />

power and justice.<br />

This is the Royal Scepter of gold, representing kingly power,<br />

complemented by the Scepter with the Dove with an Orb symbolizing the<br />

forgiveness and redemption role of antimony. <strong>The</strong>n, into the Queen’s left<br />

hand, he placed the Sceptre with the Dove saying:<br />

Archbishop: Receive the rod of equity and mercy. Be so merciful<br />

that you be not too remiss; so execute justice that you<br />

forget not mercy ….<br />

<strong>The</strong> British Crown Jewels date from Charles II and so are<br />

relatively modern. Sadly, the Royal Sceptre lacks a magnificient rock<br />

crystal orb, which is the ancient emblem of divine kingship because it<br />

represents the priestly ability to compass the sun. 449 <strong>The</strong> orb in the Royal<br />

Sceptre is often referred to as the Star of Jacob because in the prophecy of<br />

Balaam, the Sceptre represents the Messiah:<br />

<strong>The</strong>re shal come a Star out of Jacob, and a Club or Sceptre<br />

(Shaivet) shall rise out of Israel.<br />

While the English Crown Jewels lack a rock crystalorb, the<br />

Honours of Scotland include such an orb in the Royal Sceptre of King<br />

James IV. Either Pope Innocent VII in 1491 or Pope Alexander VI in<br />

1494 presented the Royal Sceptre to hum along with a Golden Rose.<br />

After presentation of the Sceptres, a pivotal moment, the<br />

Archbishop then crowned the Queen saying:<br />

Archbishop: … God crown you with a crown of glory and<br />

righteousness, that having a right faith and manifold<br />

fruit of good works, you may obtain the crown of an<br />

everlasting kingdom by the gift of Him Whose<br />

kingdom endureth for ever. Amen.<br />

It is worth also noting here that Mercy in Judgment is the reason<br />

that a freemasons' lodge closes only when every Brother has received his<br />

due.<br />
