Many different crowns are identified in the Bible. The high priest of Israel wore a golden crown<\/strong>. Exodus 39:30 (NKJV), “Then they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold<\/strong>, and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving of a signet: HOLINESS TO THE LORD.” “Crown” is Strong’s Hebrew word H5145, “nezer” and it identifies something set apart or consecrated. <\/p>\n

God will fight for the nation of Israel in the last battle and Israel will become a crown<\/strong> (nezer). Zechariah 9:15-16 (NKJV), “The LORD of hosts will defend them; They shall devour and subdue with slingstones. They shall drink and roar as if with wine;…The LORD their God will save them in that day, As the flock of His people. For they shall be like the jewels of a crown<\/strong>, Lifted like a banner over His land…”<\/p>\n

Kings in the Old Testament also wore the nezer (2 Kings 11:12). The hair <\/strong>of a person who took the Nazerite vow was called a nezer. As you can see, it identifies someone as set apart from others – whether in consecration to God or as a king.<\/p>\n

In the New Testament, faithful Christians<\/strong> (the Church, the Bride of Christ) will receive the crown of life in the resurrection. Revelation 2:10, “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life<\/strong>.” The word crown in the New Testament is usually Strong’s Greek word G4735, “stephanos.” A stephanos was the victor’s laurel wreath<\/strong> which was used to crown the winners at the Olympics or public games. In the Church’s case, the victor receives immortality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Apostle Paul amplified on the symbol in 1 Corinthians 9:25 (NKJV), “And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

This is the same crown as in 1 Peter 1:4; 5:4 (NKJV), “to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,…and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory<\/strong> that does not fade away.”<\/p>\n

Finally, Jesus is pictured as having many crowns on His head at His second advent. Revelation 19:12 (NKJV), “His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns<\/strong>…” Crowns in this verse is Strong’s Greek word G1238, “diad?ma.” Strong’s defines it as, “<\/strong>the blue band marked with white with which Persian kings used to bind on the turban or tiara; the kingly ornament for the head.” This symbolizes divine authority over all things <\/strong>with which God crowns Jesus<\/strong>. Thus ultimately, “a plan for the right time ?– ?to bring everything together in Christ, both things in heaven<\/strong> and things on earth in him.<\/strong>” Ephesians 1:10 (CSB) <\/p>\n

Diadema is only used three times in the New Testament. The other two verses are Revelation 12:3 and 13:1 – in both instances evil beasts are wearing diadems.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
