Q. Can you tell me what are the five crowns and where they are found? I found the Crown of Gold in Revelation 4:4 and the Crown of Life in Revelation 2:10 but would like to find the others. A. The best way I found to attack this problem is to use my Bible search engine and I typed in "crown of" and came up with quite a few. After discarding the few that had to do with a crown one wears on the head in a physical way I am assuming you mean those Crowns that Christians should receive for Eternity. I had not thought about these crowns until this question was asked. I found three references to a Crown of Gold --- Exodus 39:30 [a physical counterpart to the spiritual crown], Esther 8:15, and Psalms 21:3 discussing both David and Jesus Christ. I found 6 references to a Crown of Glory --- Proverbs 4:9, Proverbs 16:31 showing that the wisdom learned over time is a crown of glory for the aged, Isaiah 28:5 discussing the future of Israel, Isaiah 62:3, Jeremiah 13:18 discussing the physical reigns of kings and queens whose crown of glory is fleeting at best. Lastly Peter tells Christians that they will receive the final Crown of Glory from the Chief Shepherd in 1 Peter 5:4. I found one Crown of her husband in Proverbs 12:4. I found one Crown of the wise in Proverbs 14:24 I found two Crowns of pride in Isaiah 28:1 and verse 3 both talking about something we do not want to have. I found the Crown of rejoicing in 1Thessalonians 2:19. I found one Crown of Righteousness in 2 Timothy 4:8 which is something we will be given by the Righteous Judge when he returns. I found two references to the Crown of Life promised to those who love God and His Son. in James 1:12 and Revelation 2:10. So I am assuming that what you were looking for was the Crowns of Glory, Rejoicing, Righteousness, Gold and Life but as you can see there are several others as well that might be part of the package as well. |
