I mean it is a spiritual Kingdom I suppose.
Yes of course. A portion of the contemporary world church of the Lord Jesus Christ wish to plant it squarely as spiritual and no more. Yet , Rom first part of the 13th chapter clearly place it as both phys and spiritual.

Dispy's or Tulipers? Or replacement restorationists?

I read that in the US, ordinary people are their own kings. I came across a poster on here (from the US) who insisted he himself was King, and Mr T was his servant. I guess Mr T has been demoted from his own kingship by another american king.

I mean, are there too may chiefs and not enough Indians or is it the other way round?
 
I never forget that the slave trade was continued in the US after William Wilberforce tried to ban it.
 
Suze, I can't read Legacy right now its over 600 pages of small print...
I had to return it for someone else to read.

I will read it when I get a chance to finish my other books first. I'm going to read The Princess by Wendy Holden on my TBR pile, it isn't nearly as long. I know the story already, but I just want to read another novelistic take on it.

We know we have a King of Kings and Lord of Lords...

And lest we say something treasonous about the current reigning monarchs of various lands and have our heads cut off... I'm restricting this discussion to Kings and Queens of the past. In the Bible, in history, or in myth and legend.

Who was good, and who was evil?

Did they rule well, or was it a disaster?

Any favourites?
My favorites are celebrities being hated by the masses of people who hate with 100% false certainty. Like preachers who hate Eve as if she is some kind of problem who eats fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that is understanding. Then hating the serpent for telling the truth. Anyway I think of Zeus and Hera and Apollo and Athena who are told about in stories that can make them look problematic but teach a lesson. The thing about good and evil, the highest good and the highest evil are on the same team working together, like Jesus and Lucifer or Satan. Preachers who don't care about truth or reasoning automatically hold Satan as some kind of evil that hurts people, then read aloud statements about Satan that do no such a thing, Satan asks questions and makes statements but doesn't hurt anyone now does he?

um ok - sort of like Devil's advocate? Or trying to test people, to see if they are righteous or stay faithful?

Which celeb Kings and Queens.
I don't know if Eve or Zeus and Hera and Opollo and Athena were ever named Kings or Queens. They were more like gods and goddesses.
 
Queen Jezebel? Love or hate her?
Queen of Sheba?

Any favourite Queen?
How about Queen Bee Regina George? In the Mean Girls movie. There is a heirarchy in high school apparently. For girls.
In the US they have a homecoming king and queen I've heard, though I don't know what that is exactly. There is a Prom King and Queen. In the movie, Cady Heron gets crowned Queen with a plastic tiara at the Spring Fling, knocking out Regina. Regina gets hit by a bus.
 
Yea I know it's a movie and thus fake and plastic...but apparently that sort of thing happens in American High Schools.

Which I've never attended...

In New Zealand we have a high school called King's College. Not for actual Kings but it was for boys that had wealthy parents in high places. It would have been interesting to work there and see what kind of education these boys got as kings-in-training.

I nearly went for the job (as librarian) but it was a bit far away and I didn't want to have a 2 hour commute or live as a boarder in an all-boys or mostly boys high school. I mean boys can be gross at that age and many still freak out whenever females are near.
 
Remember Queen Caroline?

Washed her hair in turpentine*
Turpentine made it shine
Queen, Queen Caroline

I wonder how Kath washed her hair or what she called her 'clowning glory'
 
This King rules Antarctica

I am so humbled by His Majesty, ruler of an entire continent

What man can lay claim to its icy wonders?
