CROWN
C


(1) of a King.

A king wears a crown of gold set with precious stones as a sign of royalty and authority. Heathen kings and queens and the kings of Israel and Judah wore crowns (see 2 Samuel 1:10; Esther 2:17, 6:8, KJV). Before the time of the kings the high priest of Israel wore a 'mitre' and also a circlet or crown of gold to show his God-given authority (see Exodus 29:6).

When the rulers of Judah neglected God, He "took away their crown" and suspended royal authority over His people until the time when the appointed Messiah, Jesus Christ should come as the rightful anointed king of Israel and the whole world.
"this is what the Sovereign Lord says: 'Take off the turban, remove the crown. It will not be as it was…. It will not be restored until he comes to whom it rightfully belongs, to him I will give it.'" (Ezekiel 21:26-27).
