The Scepter of the Kingdom of God (Part Two)
CGG Weekly by Martin G. CollinsThe dynasty of David's throne, having been transplanted from Ireland, was overturned and established in Scotland in c. AD 487 when a prince of Ireland's royal line was crowned King Fergus I. Later, in AD 1603, this lineage was again overturned and moved to England when Scotland's James VI was crowned James I of England, a line that continues to the present day.
The Bethel Stone
Sermon by Kim MyersThe Bethel Stone, also known as the Stone of Destiny or the Stone of Scone, journeyed from Ireland to Scotland, marking a significant transition in its history. In Scotland, Aidan, an Irish man and son of an Irish king, was crowned king of Scotland on this stone, establishing a coronation ritual that has been followed by succeeding monarchs of Scotland and England. The stone was kept in the Abbey of Scone, which gave it the name Stone of Scone, until the Abbey was destroyed during the Reformation. Edward I of England then removed the stone to Westminster Abbey, where it has remained, continuing its legacy as the coronation stone for monarchs of England, with the exception of Mary I. The stone's movement from Scotland to England represents one of the three overthrows of the throne of David, fulfilling a historical progression from Jerusalem to Ireland, then to Scotland, and finally to England.

Article by Charles WhitakerScotland holds a significant place among the regions associated with the modern-day house of Israel, particularly through its connection to the tribe of Ephraim.

These blessings manifested in the expansion and dominance of the British Empire, which included Scotland as a vital component. The Scottish people, intertwined with the Angles and Saxons, contributed to the growth of a company of nations, fulfilling the prophecies of becoming a multitude of nations and pushing the peoples to the ends of the earth. Scotland's role within this empire reflects the geopolitical and economic strength bestowed upon Ephraim, as the British, including the Scots, established control over strategic gates and territories worldwide, ensuring military and commercial hegemony.
