More about that temporary structure on earth involving God's people. Some can disagree with the following all they want, but it won't change Bible prophecy that it was to happen.
In Genesis 49, Jacob gathered his twelve sons around and gave them a prophecy of what would befall them in the last days. That means the Gen.49 chapter is about the children of Jacob (Israel) for the end times, today.
Gen 49:10
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
(KJV)
That was said to Judah. The sons of Judah from Jacob (Israel) were to keep the royal sceptre on earth UNTIL Shiloh (Christ) comes, and then unto Him (Christ Jesus) would be the gathering of the people. Not only is Judah to keep that royal throne on earth, but also as lawgiver to God's people all the way up to the time of Christ's return.
In many Scriptures about David's throne (like 2 Sam.7), we're shown that God promised David his earthly throne would be a perpetual throne on earth, lasting through all generations, and there would never fail a man of Israel to sit upon it (Ps.89:4).
Just because the king of Babylon ended the existence of that throne of David in Jerusalem during Jeremiah's day, does that mean God failed to keep His Promise to David about that? That's what many wrongly think today, but they are wrong to think it. God simply moved... that throne of David to somewhere else on earth; He did not remove it from the earth. It is still established today on earth, just not in Jerusalem anymore.
Per Apostle Paul's commission in The Gospel, he was to preach The Gospel to:
1. the Gentiles
2. to kings
3. to the children of Israel
Some of the royal family of the Bretons were captive in Rome at the same time when Apostle Paul was captive there and allowed to preach The Gospel to all that came at his house. In 2 Timothy 4:21, Paul addresses certain ones of that royal family. Pudens was a Roman magistrate assigned in Britain, and he married Claudia, a Christian member of the royal family of the Bretons. That was per Paul's calling to preach The Gospel also to kings. This was long prior to any existence of a pope or Roman Church structure, which is why the later Roman Church was forced to admit that Britain was first to acknowledge The Gospel of Jesus Christ as a nation.
So that reveals a direct relationship to royal families of ancient Breton with Paul's commission to preach The Gospel to kings. His commission to preach The Gospel also to the children of Israel involved the scattered remnants of the ten tribes and of Judah that were also living in the areas where he preached, that of Asia Minor and western Europe.
With the Irish, Scots, and Brits, they have a history related to The Bible with a curious stone called The Stone of Scone which their kings and queens were coronated upon in the manner of the ancient Israelite kings. Queen Elizabeth II was coronated upon it in 1953, the ceremony including an anointing with oil upon her head just like the ancient kings of Israel. That stone first appeared in ancient Ireland, and then the Scots took it to Scotland to the Abbey of Scone, and then the English conquered Scotland and took it to London and placed it in Edward's chair, where it has remained ever since 1996. No other nations on earth have such a history of that kind of stone, a stone pillar with iron rings in it for carrying on long journeys, a stone that is well worn as if it has been on many more long journeys than just within Ireland, Scotland, and England.
In the ancient chronicles of the Irish (Four Masters), ancient Ireland was named 'Scotia' after one called Scota, 'daughter of Pharaoh' per the Irish Annals, and she is linked to marriage with a king at hill Tara in Ireland in connection with the royalty of the Milesians from ancient Spain. Scota is also where Scotland would later derive their country's name, as it was originally called Alba.
A Portion Of Scotlands Declaration of Independence (1320 A.D.)
"Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown.
They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous.
Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today.
The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since.
In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken a single foreigner.
The high qualities and deserts of these people, were they not otherwise manifest, gain glory enough from this: that the King of kings and Lord of lords, our Lord Jesus Christ, after His Passion and Resurrection, called them, even though settled in the uttermost parts of the earth, almost the first to His most holy faith.
Nor would He have them confirmed in that faith by merely anyone but by the first of His Apostles - by calling, though second or third in rank - the most gentle Saint Andrew, the Blessed Peter's brother, and desired him to keep them under his protection as their patron forever."
This is the temporal structure for Christ's Church on earth that I mention. This is what the enemies of Christ have worked so long through the centuries to attack and destroy.
