ANTIPODEAN SUMMER SEASON

Videos originally published in 2022.

These lectures explore the three Principals of the Royal Arch—Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and Haggai—through close reference to A History of Royal Arch Masonry by Everett R. Turnbull and Ray V. Denslow (1955), one of the standard historical treatments of the development of the Royal Arch in the Anglo-American Masonic tradition. The video examines how these figures came to embody the civil, sacerdotal, and prophetic offices central to the Royal Arch narrative: Zerubbabel as governor and restorer of lawful authority, Jeshua as High Priest and guardian of sacred continuity, and Haggai as the prophetic voice urging the rebuilding of the Temple.
