X2M.187 QUMAH קוּמָ֣ה | Crown & Covenant Document
Qumah means “arise” or “stand up.” In the PH12 Stariser arc it is the threshold star — the moment where enthronement becomes covenantally enacted through crown and testimony together. At Joash’s enthronement, Jehoiada the priest set the crown on the boy-king’s head and delivered to him the ‘edut, the covenant witness document (2 Kgs. 11:12)¹. Kingship was never raw charisma but covenant-bound authority. To rise (qumah) is to be lifted by oath and document, enthroned under the Word.
Psalm 89 ties the Davidic throne to both crown and covenant: “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant: I will establish your line forever” (Ps. 89:3–4)². When the psalm laments, “You have renounced the covenant with your servant; you have defiled his crown in the dust” (v. 39), it shows how inseparable crown and covenant truly are. Qumah marks the first rise of enthronement: coronation validated by covenant witness.
Christ embodies this star. His resurrection (qumah) was not only His crown but His covenant confirmation: “the God of peace…brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus…by the blood of the eternal covenant” (Heb. 13:20)³. Rising, crowning, and covenanting converge in Him. In PH12, Qumah signals that the enthronement runtime has shifted from atmosphere into execution — validated, authorized, risen into permanence.
Qumah thus initiates the seventh set of seven stars: crown placed, covenant sealed, and the command “Arise!” resounding over the Starchild. It is the juridical lift into kingship, enthronement standing not only on glory but on testimony.
