Editor’s Note: This journal entry carries bold prophetic conviction and engages directly with modern institutions, spiritual corruption, and public figures. It reflects the author’s personal discernment experience and should be read as a prophetic perspective, not a political statement. Readers are encouraged to test everything, hold fast to what is true, and seek the Lord for personal confirmation.
I walked into the Jewel House at the Tower of London expecting history.
What I met was an atmosphere.
A heaviness.
A hollowness.
A frequency that didn’t match the gold, the scripture, or the sanctimony pinned to the walls.
It wasn’t reverence.
It wasn’t awe.
It wasn’t God.
It was the stench of something pretending to be holy when the source behind it was anything but.
I saw the images of the coronation — the oil, the garments, the rods and sceptres, the biblical language stitched into the ceremony — and every part of my spirit said no.
A deep, visceral, spiritual no that rose from my gut like something ancient and rehearsed.
Because prophets don’t react to pageantry.
Prophets react to presence.
And there was no presence of God on that crown.
Only the presence of history, hierarchy, and human power dressed up in scripture to make it look legitimate.
I couldn’t stay in that room.
My skin crawled.
My chest tightened.
My discernment went on high alert.
Everything in me recognised what I was looking at:
A counterfeit anointing.
A counterfeit throne.
A counterfeit king.
You cannot take a man who does not submit to Christ,
place holy oil on his head,
recite the words of Samuel and Solomon over him,
and call that anointing.
You cannot cloak a kingdom in religious language while the man at its head openly aligns himself with the gods of this age.
Because let’s tell the truth:
This man — this “Defender of the Faith” — openly promotes:
• interfaith syncretism
• universalism
• global governance agendas
• Agenda 2030 authoritarianism
• eco-spirituality as pseudo-religion
• pluralism that erases the supremacy of Christ
• technocratic world systems that crush the poor
And beyond the spiritual misalignment, there is the moral rot.
I will not call a man “anointed” who kept close friendship with one of the most prolific pedophiles this nation has ever seen.
Jimmy Savile wasn’t a distant public figure — he was welcomed, invited, trusted, integrated into the inner circle.
And don’t tell me kings don’t know.
Kings always know.
Everything in me rejects the idea that this is the man chosen by God to represent righteousness, holiness, justice, or spiritual authority over this land.
This was not a coronation.
It was a ceremony of power dressed up in the robes of the sacred.
A crown does not carry the anointing.
Oil does not carry the anointing.
Scripture recited by unclean lips does not carry the anointing.
Only God carries the anointing.
And He places it where He wills —
often on shepherd boys, fishermen, tax collectors, misfits, nobodies, outcasts,
not on the polished heads of kings who bow to the idols of global empires.
This is why my spirit recoiled.
I was looking at a man wearing the symbols of a kingdom he does not serve.
A crown forged for God’s glory placed on a head submitted to the systems of Babylon.
A throne built on scripture occupied by someone who does not live under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
No wonder the air felt wrong.
No wonder my stomach flipped.
No wonder everything inside me rose up.
Prophets feel the false long before the people see the cracks.
Because the true King is returning.
And every counterfeit will be exposed in the light of His appearing.
When I left that room, I knew this:
The monarchy is standing on borrowed time.
Man-made religious authority is collapsing.
Ceremonial Christianity is being judged.
And God is raising a kingdom that does not require palaces, sceptres, or robes.
He is raising His own.
The unexpected ones.
The unpolished ones.
The ones who have no crown but carry His voice.
The prophets are rising.
And every throne that does not bow to Christ will fall.
