The Stone of Scone The Rock of Destiny, The Rock of Ages, Jacob’s Pillow

The Stone of Destiny is a powerful and ancient symbol of Scottish monarchy, witnessing the coronation of its kings for hundreds of years.

In legend it was used as a pillow by the Patriarch Jacob when he dreamed of Jacob’s Ladder. Seen as a sacred object it was believed to have been brought first to Ireland, then Scotland.

In 1296 Edward I of England took the stone from Scone, near Perth, and had it built into his own throne. Since then it has been used in the coronation ceremonies for the monarchs of England and then Great Britain.

On Christmas Day 1950, four Scottish students removed the stone from Westminster Abbey in London. Three months later it turned up 500 miles away – at the front door of Arbroath Abbey.

In 1996, the stone was returned to Scotland and is now in the Crown Room where it is seen by hundreds of thousands of visitors a year.

The stone will only leave Scotland again when there is a coronation in Westminster Abbey.

Historically, the artefact was kept at the now-ruined Scone Abbey in Scone, near Perth, Scotland. It is also known as Jacob's Pillow Stone and the Tanist Stone, and in Scottish Gaelic, clach-na-cinneamhain. 

Its size is about 26 inches (660 mm) by 16.75 inches (425 mm) by 10.5 inches (270 mm) and its weight is approximately 336 pounds (152 kg). A roughly incised cross is on one surface, and an iron ring at each end aids with transport. 

The Stone of Scone was last used in 1953 for the coronation of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

 

 

The Stone of Destiny is also named The Rock of Ages, Jacob’s Pillow

There is, without a doubt, a special stone known as “the Stone of Scone” or “the Coronation Stone.”  It’s history dates back to the founding of the Scottish people around the sixth century B.C. 

According to the publication Historic UK, the The Celtic name of the stone upon which the true kings of Scotland have traditionally been crowned is Lia Fail, “the speaking stone”, or the stone which would proclaim the chosen king.

Originally, the stone played a part in the crowning ceremonies of the Scots kings of Dalriada, in the west of Scotland, an area just north of Glasgow now called Argyll.

When Kenneth I, the 36th King of Dalriada united the Scots and Pictish kingdoms and moved his capital to Scone from western Scotland around 840 AD.  The Stone of Destiny moved there too. All future Scottish kings would henceforth be enthroned on the Stone of Destiny atop Moot Hill at Scone Palace in Perthshire. 

The stone in question is no ornately carved megalith, just a simple oblong block of red sandstone.  It measures  650mm in length by 400mm wide, and 27mm deep: with chisel marks apparent on its flat top.  So where did this magical or mythical stone originate from, and why was it held in such reverence by the kings of old?

One legend dates back to biblical times and states that it is the same stone which Jacob used as a pillow at Bethel. Later, according to Jewish legend, it became the pedestal of the ark in the Temple. The stone was brought from Syria to Egypt by King Gathelus.  

He then fled to Spain following the defeat of the Egyptian army. A descendant of Gathelus brought the stone to Ireland, and was crowned on it as King of Ireland. And from Ireland, the stone moved with the invading Scots to Argyll.

What is sure however, is that the Stone of Destiny remained at Scone until it was forcibly removed by the English King Edward I (“Hammer of the Scots”) after his Scottish victories in 1296, and taken to Westminster Abbey in London.

The current Coronation Chair originally built to house the stone in 1301 and first used at the coronation of Edward II.  Thereafter used to crown every subsequent king and queen of England. 
Still another interesting legend surrounds this mystical stone.  

This one suggests that as King Edward I approached the Abbot of Perth, the monks of Scone hurriedly removed the Stone of Destiny and hid it.  He replaced it with a drainage cover stone of similar size and hid the real stone on Dunsinnan Hill.  It was the drainage cover which the English King carried off in triumph back to London.  

Perhaps this legend is not so far-fetched.  It could help to explain why the Coronation Stone is so geologically similar to the sandstone commonly found around Scone.

On St. Andrews Day, 30 November 1996, 10,000 people lined Edinburgh’s Royal Mile to witness the Stone of Destiny return to Scotland for the first time in 700 years.

In a service at St Giles cathedral the Church of Scotland Moderator, the Right Reverend John MacIndoe, formally accepted the stone’s return.

The Pillow Stone

The legend of “The Rock” all started when Jacob fled his father Isaac’s home out of fear of retribution from his brother Esau.  Jacob and his mother Rebecca conspired together to steal Esau’s blessing. In modern vernacular this act would be comparable to fraudulently tampering with a Will.   Once discovered, Jacob fled for his life to the family of his uncle Laban. Laban was his mother’s brother.  


One night during the journey, as he camped, he chose a stone for a pillow and fell asleep.  That night he sees visions of angels ascending and descending to heaven up and down a ladder. This vision was so real to Jacob and so moved him that it would become a defining event in his life. 

After the vision, he set the pillow stone on end as a pillar and did a strange thing.  He anointed the stone with oil.  Here is the account from Genesis.  

Jacob said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”
Early the next morning Jacob took the stone, set it up on end as a pillar and anointed it with oil.  And he renamed the place Bethel.   
Then Jacob made a vow saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking, and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear, so that I return safely to my father’s household, then the Lord will be my God and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth” (Genesis 28:17-22).

Notice here that Jacob anointed the rock and pronounces over it that it will be God’s house.  The word for Messiah in Hebrew means “the anointed one” and the Greek translation is “Christ.”
So Jacob makes this stone the anointed stone or the Messiah of stones. This stone will be God’s house. 

The first indication the “the pillar stone” is kept as a possession comes as a dying Jacob gives his prophetic blessing to each of his twelve sons.  Listen to how Jacob concludes his blessing to his eleventh son Joseph as he refers to the God of Israel.  He said, “The archers attacked him, shot at him, and were hostile toward him. Yet his bow remained steady, and his strong arms were made agile by the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel” (Genesis 49:23-24).


God reminds Jacob of the stone


Twenty two years after Jacob anoints the stone, he finds himself fleeing again, this time to get out from under his overbearing uncle and now father-in-law Laban.  God again comes to Jacob in a dream and refers to Himself as the God of Bethel and reminds Jacob of his three-part vow, 

1. To make the God of Bethel his God. 
2. To use the anointed stone to be the house of God. and 
3. To give God a tenth (Genesis 31).

These were three big vows, but the only promise that would require a certain inconvenient diligence would be keeping up with a large stone.  

The exact location of Jacob’s Bethel is unknown, but the city existed in ancient times and even today about 10 miles north of Jerusalem. 

The Bible doesn’t specifically tell us that Jacob or the Israelites kept and transported the pillar stone, however the Old Testament Bible does on several occasions speak of a special rock or stone.  And too, It makes sense that such a detailed account of the stone and its significance  would cause Jacob to value the stone and it would act as an important keepsake to the large family that God promised him.     

The Rock during the time of Jesus
By the time of Jesus 500 years later, the old temple relics and the stone had been long gone, but their memory as symbols still remained.  In I Corinthians chapter 10 Paul speaks to the church at Corinth regarding his Jewish ancestors.  He reminds them of passing through the Red Sea, of the pillar of cloud that guided them.  Again he reminded them they all drank from the spiritual rock that traveled with them.  He then identifies the Rock as the Messiah.  Vs. 4

Jesus is referred to as a rock three times in the New Testament.  Both Paul and Peter referred to a quote from the prophet Isaiah.  As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”  Rom. 9:33  I Pet 2:6 referring to Isa. 8:14 and Isa. 28:16

 What happend in 1850 that there were so many mental patients ? Did we loose some historical information ?

Medical director Joseph Workman believed that 50 per cent of his alleged “lunacy” cases were curable at home. But with this half-built facility so close at hand, local officials found it a convenient place to drop off their criminals and misfits.

The new hospital was situated well outside the city, in a large open area on the lake shore. It was intended to be a sanctuary, a safe place, for persons who were suffering. Inmates were to be treated as patients, there to be cured in an atmosphere of cleanliness, kindness, decency and compassion. The impressions of Susanna Moodie, visiting Toronto in the autumn of 1852, well captured the new attitude:

Toronto Globe editor George Brown wrote of the new Provincial Lunatic Asylum in 1850. He optimistically viewed it as a true asylum, “where disturbing influences are absent—not a mere hospital or prison—where every good part of human nature is brought into play.” 

Within a few short years, however, Brown’s attitudes radically altered. An old political adversary, Dr. Joseph Workman, was named head of the institution. 

Brown soon became a harsh critic, most severely in February, 1857, when the Globe published an attack on the moral character and medical competence of the Medical Superintendent. Dr. Workman was guilty of “villainy, deceit, and tyranny,” wrote a disgruntled former hospital porter, James Magar. Calling himself “the moral Sentinel of the Asylum,” his letter was headlined by the Globe, “Recent Disgraceful and Outrageous Doings at the Provincial Lunatic Asylum.” Magar outlined a number of alleged incidents of sexual misconduct, inadequate security, physical harassment, and administrative mismanagement. 

Joseph Workman a phisician that worked therehad the following impression about the hospital “Nothing,” he once wrote, “has so largely contributed to the filling of this asylum with incurables, as the almost astonishing ignorance of the medical profession, on the true nature, & the proper treatment of insanity.” One of his reports attacked the maltreatment of the mentally ill with “active and depressing therapeutic measures,” including, “bloodletting, purging, vomiting, salivation, blistering, cupping, setons, low diet, and the whole battery of medical destructives.”

The superintendent Workman  also found himself faced with a very different type of problem to clean up:

An evil of inconceivable magnitude … in the working and present condition of this Institution has been the introduction into it, of criminal Lunatics from the Provincial Penitentiary, and the County Jails. It is an outrage against public benevolence, and an indignity to human affliction, to cast into the same house of refuge with the harmless, feeble, kind-hearted and truthful victims of ordinary insanity, those moral monsters … or, yet worse, those villains who affect insanity by means of evading the just punishment of the most atrocious crimes.

He scoffed at most of the presumed causes of mental illness, “in nineteen cases out of every twenty, entirely fallacious.” Among the extraordinary causes listed by relatives or medical examiners were:

Grief; Love; Loss of Property; Religious Excitement; Religious Despair; Family Quarrels; Jealousy; Fright; Disappointed Affections; Excessive Study; Reading and Fasting; Intemperance; Breach of Promise of Marriage; Suppression of Menses; Slander; Want of Employment; Marriage; Miscarriage, and bad treatment; Spirit Rapping; Death of Child; Death of Husband; Death of Wife; Business Difficulties; Political Excitement; Disputed Boundary; Strong Tea; Eclipse of the Sun; Religious Controversy; Inhalation of Nitrous Oxide Gas; Reading Religious Books; Tobacco; Remorse of Conscience, &c., &c.

Despite its name, Provincial Lunatic Asylum, the hospital was not a safe place separate from the world. Its creation and its administration were inevitably involved in the political machinations of the time. Since it spent public money—a great deal of public money—it was always subject to public scrutiny, especially by journalist/politicians like George Brown. Since it hired many public employees, it was ever subject to accusations of patronage—in those days patronage politics touched every provincially administered institution. Brown had taken an interest in it long before it opened.

Star Forts Toronto Canada

This plan shows the fort as it was rebuilt after its predecessor was destroyed in the Battle of York, 1813. A souvenir of that event remains in the crater on the lakeshore left when the Grand Magazine was detonated on the orders of Sir Roger Hale Sheaffe, the British commander in chief. A complete key to each of the buildings and outbuildings helps understand the scale of the establishment.

When the Fort was eventually transferred in 1909 to the City of Toronto, it was on condition “that the site of the Old Fort . . . shall, as far as possible, be restored to its original condition as shown on the attached copy of a plan of it, prepared by G. Nicolls, Government Engineer, and dated Quebec, 24th June, 1816, and that the same shall be preserved and maintained in such condition forever.”

How big was that star fort? Europeans did not build it. They just fought and destroyed this large buildings.

Here is a map from 1878. Part of the star fort named Old Fort was still standing.

This plan shows where the Agricultural Fairgrounds at Toronto were located from 1858-1878. The new Industrial Exhibition Grounds, now the core of Exhibition Place, were to the south across three rail lines on land marked 'Garrison Common' that wrapped around the New Fort. They were leased from the Government of Canada until 1909, when the title to them was transferred to the City of Toronto.

Toronto History

This map shows the boundaries of the Toronto Purchase, an area transferred to Crown ownership by a treaty negotiated between the British and the resident Indians in 1787.

Such treaties established British title ( documents signed in a foreign language by people that never learned to write or speak that language seems to me deceiving)  to lands needed for the resettlement of Loyalist refugees from the American Revolution.

The trail marked is the "Toronto Portage" (‘Carrying Place’ -N.) which connected Lake Ontario to the Holland River and Lake Simcoe; the route had long been used by Indians and fur traders.

The area labelled "Toronto" marks the site of the French trading fort abandoned 30 years earlier. The ruins, today near the bandshell in the CNE grounds, have recently been excavated.”meaning destroyed

 Here is a later map that shows the image of a star fort already destroyed. This is a proof that an ancient civilization lived on this land that built star forts.

Sodom and Gomora

There are Sumerian texts that talk about Sodom and Gomora

UR lamentation
The lamentation over the desolation of Ur and Sumer
The Nippur Lamentation
The Uruk lamentation
And others.

Sodom And Gomora were destroyed as result of a nuclear weapon brought from Nibiru and was hidden in Abzu today Africa by the Anunnaki when they arrived on Earth  and dropped after a conference between Anunnaki

The texts tell about who dropped the bombs; their names are Nergal Enki's son and Ninurta Enlil Son with The Approval Of Enlil. Enki opposed the decision.

We know from the texts when it happens. 2024 B.C.E. and represent the year of the co lapse of the Sumerian civilization.

It was an event preventable avoidable.
The text "A lamentation over the destruction of Ur" spoke about the abandonment of the gods.

Nanar/Sin Enlil son and Ningal his wife abandons Ur Enlil “the wild bull” abandoned his beloved temple in Nippur also his spouse Ninlil was also gone.

Ninmah abandoned her city Kush.

Inanna the queen of Erech abandoned Erech.one Sumerian city after another was listed as having been abandoned.

A mysterious calamity affected the entire Sumer.

The answer to the puzzle was in the text “Gone with the wind”.
The cause of the evil wind was the nuclear upheaval.  Near the Sinai Peninsula, the texts asserted that the gods knew its source and cause.

Weapons were launched from the sky by

Ninurta Enlil son and Nergal Enki son. They spread as some rays scorching everything like fire.

Various texts attributed the maelstrom to the explosion at the place where the gods ascend and descend to the obliteration of the space port rather than the destruction of the sinned cities.

As far as the god's war concerned it appeared that was each man for itself. Lamentation texts the Ur lamentation and the Kippur lamentation talk about the events. In Ur the capital It was so incredibly loss that he refused to believe that faith has been sealed his long emotional appeal to his father and legal to have wild Calamity is recorded in the Ur lamentation

Enlil admits in one of the texts that “Ur was granted kingship an eternal reign was not granted”.

Nanar and Ningal decided to stay put. It was daytime that evil wind approached Ur. The divine e couple spent the night of nightmares in termite house an underground chamber deep inside the ziggurat.

By morning the venomous wind was carried off the city.  Ningal realized that Nannar was ill. She had the God carried out of the city.

Ninurta spouse Bau who was alone in Langash while her husband was busy destroying the space port. She was trained as healing physician and just could not force herself to leave. She did not survive long thereafter.

Eridu Enki s city was at the edge of “the evil wind” path.

We learn from the “Eridu lament” that Ninki Enki's spouse flew away from the city to safe heaven in Enki  Abzu Africa.

Enki himself departed from the city far enough to get out of the evil wind.

"The Lord of Eridu stayed outside his city for the fate of his city he wept with bitter tears. "

Amazingly the least affected was Babylon.
At the alert was sounded Marduk contacted his father to seek advice. What are the people of Babylon to do?

Enki told him to tell his followers neither to turn back nor to look back. Off escape was not possible people should shelter underground. Get them into chamber bellow the earth into a darkness was Enki advice.

Following Enki advice and due to the wind direction Babylon and his people were unharmed.

The evil wind was the cause of the decline and collapse of Sumerian civilization.

Both Marduk/Ra Enki's son and Nabu Marduk's son survived the nuclear blast.

Nabu was personally targeted by Nergal his uncle or Enki's son. He apparently hides on one of the Mediterranean islands and escaped harm. Afterward, he was given his own cult in Mesopotamia called Borsippa.

Me Ancient Tablets PC of Anunnaki

In Sumerian texts, Me' s were portable objects which held all the knowledge and other aspects of a high civilization.

One can envision them as some kind of computer disks or memory chips which in spite of their minute size hold the vast amount of information.

When Kippur was to become after the deluge city of men, Enlil complained to Any that Enki was keeping all the Me to himself using them only to enhance Eridu and Enki's hideaway in Abzu (Africa). Enki was forced to share those essential Me with Enlil. 

When Inanna wished to make Uruk a great urban centre she set out to Enki's Adobe to pry some essential Men's out of her great uncle.

A text "Inanna and Enki" and subtitled by modern scholars "The transfer of the art and ciciliza6from Eridu to Erech" describes how Inanna journeyed in her boat of heaven to the Abzu in South eastern Africa where Enki has secreted away the Me's.

Enki ordered his chamberlain to prepare a banquet meal with plenty of vines made and sweet dates.
Inanna brought the subject of Men's.
He showed her niece some of Me for the lordship of the exalted and ensure g tiara, the Me for the drone of Kingship.

Bright Inanna took them and asked for more. Enki showed her Me' s for the exalted sceptre and staff, the exalted shrine, and righteous Rulership.

Another Me provided functions and attributes of Divine Lady temples and rituals priests and attendants, justice and courts, music and arts, masonry and woodworking metalwork leatherwork and weaving, kingship and mathematics and last but not least weapons and art of warfare.

Inanna took Me's and in a boat of heaven lived for Uruk.

Enki, when sobered up, ordered his chamberlain to pursue Inanna  her great chamber and retrieve the Me's

Inanna handed the Me to her pilot while she argued who flew to Uruk.

The people of Uruk forever recall how their city became the seat of Kingship.
