Subject:       Princely Characteristics


Eddie;

I am currently writting a bible study and the Tabernacles of Yeshua. 
In my studies and writtings I came across this comparisiion of the
princely characteristics and how they applied to Yeshua.  I thought
you might be instrested and possibly share them with other.
