The Knights Hospitaller - Historical Context:
The Knights Hospitaller, or Order of Saint John, originated in the 11th century as a charitable order providing medical care to pilgrims in Jerusalem. Over time, they evolved into a formidable military force during the Crusades, defending Christian territories. Known for their distinctive black cloaks with a white cross, the Hospitallers became famous for their combination of charity and martial prowess.
Their greatest victories came during their defense of Rhodes and Malta, where they held back the might of the Ottoman Empire against impossible odds. Today, their legacy lives on in the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, a humanitarian organization still active worldwide.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
From the halls of Amalfi we rise,
Our banner the cross, where hope never dies.
Guardians of the poor and the weak,
In the name of Christ, the shelter we seek.
Born of mercy, yet warriors so bold,
Hospitallers, protectors, as history told.
In the Holy Land, where blood and tears fall,
We stand for the faith, for God’s holy call.
Chorus:
Shield of Jerusalem, sword of the meek,
In service to God, we are humble, yet fierce.
By cross and by steel, we fight for the light,
Knights of Saint John, in the dark, we ignite.
Verse 2:
Upon Rhodes and Malta we set our stone,
A fortress of faith, a kingdom alone.
Healing the wounds of war and despair,
Yet always prepared, the sword we bear.
In the storm of the siege, our hearts do not yield,
Brothers in arms with both cross and shield.
Through the fire of battle, our spirits remain,
Hospitallers forever, in God's holy reign.
Chorus:
Shield of Jerusalem, sword of the meek,
In service to God, we are humble, yet fierce.
By cross and by steel, we fight for the light,
Knights of Saint John, in the dark, we ignite.
Bridge:
To protect the pilgrim, to guard the gate,
We stand at the threshold of heavenly fate.
By faith and by valor, we carry the flame,
In the name of Saint John, eternal our name.
Verse 3:
With Malta's defense, our legend was made,
Outnumbered, yet never did we fade.
The crescent fell to the Hospitaller hand,
Defenders of Christ, we hold the land.
With oaths of honor, in God’s name we fight,
Knights of the Hospital, sworn to the light.
Through centuries passed, our mission is clear,
To heal, to defend, without any fear.
Chorus:
Shield of Jerusalem, sword of the meek,
In service to God, we are humble, yet fierce.
By cross and by steel, we fight for the light,
Knights of Saint John, in the dark, we ignite.
Outro (Chant):
Deus vult we cry, our path set in stone,
For the Kingdom of Heaven, we march ever on.
In battle or peace, our hearts never tire,
For God and Saint John, we fight and aspire.

I get what you’re trying to say, but secular Kings are a fantastic thing. We can have an earthly King and God the King of Kings.

GOD Blessed the United States of America. One country under GOD (The U.S. Constitution is signed “in the year of our Lord, 1789”) Jesus saith unto them, “Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?” Matthew 21:42 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.” Hebrews 8:10-11 “And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.” Genesis 14:18 “For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;” Hebrews 7:1-2 “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus. Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 6:20 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.” Hebrews 4:12-14 “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.”Psalms 110 (A Psalm to the root and offspring of David and the bright and morning star. ) And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” Luke 4:14-21 Jesus cried and said, “He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.” John 12:44-50 “Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:7,12-17 The red letter version of the KJV of the Holy Bible and/or New Testament, are very special versions. The red ink represents Jesus’ complete recorded testimony, his actual words. If you so desire, buy your own copy &/or Biblegate.com has the KJV in red letter also. I ask that you read only the red text, the first time through, ignore the black type for now. “And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: {worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.}” Revelation 19:10 {the Holy Trinity (The Holy Father, Holy son & Holy Spirit) Prophecy, prophetic, prophets} The difference between a true prophet and a false prophet, knowing the answers to the questions everyone asks, but there are only false prophets with no answers except “God works in mysterious ways.” Definitions: Angel: Psalms 103:20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
