Please have my condolences for the passing away of your dear mother. However, I strongly believe that royalty and monarchy are ancient leadership models that are no longer relevant. Additionally, they are the building blocks and sources of all evils, including officially sanctioned racism, slavery, colonialism, imperialism, global warming, and injustices.
So if the world is to make any progress toward peaceful co-existence, the demise of the brutal British Empire and the death of Queen Elizabeth II present the greatest opportunity for reconciliation, repentance, restitution, reparations, and a fresh start for the human family.
While there have been 61 monarchs of England and Great Britain spread over a period of approximately 1200 years, the death toll of the victims of the British Monarchy worldwide is countless. Additionally, the totality of the wealth plundered as the result of the global conquest of the British Empire is beyond measure. That is why instead of praises for the last monarch who presided over the last empire that covered the entire globe using brute force and unspeakable atrocities to conquer, control, and plunder the wealth of nations worldwide, former colonies must unite in demanding that King Charles immediately abdicate and renounce the throne, apologize for centuries of shameful bloodshed, torture, theft, and deception for only two reasons. Firstly, “confession is good for the soul.” Secondly, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins. ” It is appointed unto humans once to die and after death is judgment.
As a monarch and sovereign of the United Kingdom, King Charles may not even know or have the capacity for remorse for the ongoing harm of racial discrimination worldwide., flowing from the British Empire. To assist King Charles in coming to grips with the scale of centuries of oppression and ongoing harm worldwide, The Universal Human Rights International (UHRI) in collaboration with Ziah Mission Baptist Church has created an online Repository of Ongoing Royal Inflicted Grief and pain. https://FreeLiberia.org
The fact that the death of the Queen of the British Empire still attracts the leaders of the powerful nations on Earth proves that colonialism and officially sanctioned racism are current events and not history. The queen was still queen at death, not because of the election but because of her birth in the ‘royal family.” Queen Elizabeth was replaced by her son and elevated one family above every other human being. And That’s Not at all! The Bible has chosen words for people who think they are better than others.
Romans Chapter 3 “For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away,
they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” “Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit.” “The poison of vipers is on their lips.” “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.” “Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways and the way of peace they do not know.” “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[g]
“Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law, we become conscious of our sin.” “For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life.
With such a bleak description of ll humanity, including the British Monarchy, what are no justifications, whatsoever for the praises pouring out, especially at a time when people are suffering in every former British colony? The British Monarchy ran its course for over one thousand years. Now is the best time for the monarchy to just pick up and go away before it’s too late.
