Pastor John,
Images of Sol Invictus, the ancient Roman sun-god, appear with a shining halo. Do the halos of ancient mythological gods predate the crowns worn by earthly kings? Did kings at some point adopt the wearing of a golden crown, to imitate those halos?
Thank you!

Hi Jerry.
The answer is hidden in the recesses of ancient history. As far back in recorded history as we can go, rulers have distinguished themselves with clothing different from the rest of us, and their invented gods would naturally have followed suit. However, I suspect that behind it all lies an ancient knowledge of the truth, that God really is glorious and different from everyone else in heaven and earth.
Hope that helps.
Pastor John
