The sonnet “The Royal Courts of Learning: Kings and Queens in Training” portrays the Holy Bible as a divine school, a “royal court” where believers study God’s eternal truth, inspired by 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV): “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Through diligent engagement with Scripture, they seek approval from God, the Creator, preparing themselves for their future roles as kings and queens in the new heavens and new earth. Each verse is a seed of wisdom, shaping them to reign with Christ in love and light. Shame fades as they master the truth, and their faithful study earns them a crown, equipping them to rule in a restored world, redeemed from the fall.

Within the Word where endless truth does stream,
We study deep beneath God’s holy reign,
The Bible’s courts, where wisdom glows supreme,
Unveil the light no death can e’er restrain.
With pages graced, we strive to stand approved,
By Him who spoke the heavens into frame,
Each verse a seed, by sacred breath imbued,
To shape us for a throne in love’s great name.

All shame retreats before the Scripture’s gaze,
As truth divides through study’s careful art,
A royal crown rewards our faithful days,
To rule with Christ when earth is born apart.
In Bible’s halls, we train for regal might,
Kings and queens redeemed in living light.
