Has God Forgotten the British Covenant? Solemn League & Covenant Still Valid Today
In 1643 the governments and national churches of England, Scotland and Ireland covenanted together to follow the Lord in the Solemn League and Covenant. Unfortunately, within a few years King Charles II officially declared that the Solemn League and Covenant was void and that those who upheld it would be punished. Because many conscientious Christians refused to obey the king's dictate to abandon their covenant with God, thousands of them were exterminated during the 1660s through to the 1680s. Most of these people were in Scotland and earned the nickname "Scottish Covenanters." King Charles II was followed by the even more wicked James II and, ultimately, most people in Britain realized that the Covenanters were right to resist their evil rulers. Thus James was overthrown in the popular Glorious Revolution of 1689. The violent persecution of God's faithful remnant came to an end. However, the new government of King William of Orange decided to ignore the Solemn League and Covenant and follow its own path of disobedience to God. William was a good man in many respects, but his government refused to uphold the covenant vows taken by England in 1643. While most people accepted this because William was so much better than Charles and James, a remnant of Covenanters refused to accept the new governmental and ecclesiastical situation known as "the Revolution Settlement." This remnant would slowly grow over time into the Reformed Presbyterian Church.
