Chapter Three
Abraham and His Seed
In order to arrive at an understanding of the significance of current events as they affect Palestine, let us briefly review the history of Abraham and his posterity and the meaning of the promises made to selected individuals of his race.
When God called Abraham from Ur of Chaldees He promised that his posterity would possess the land of Palestine and that this territory would become the inheritance of his "seed" [Notice that it was his "seed" who would possess palestine forever. Not Abraham's Children!] Isaac, the son of Sarah and Abraham, was the "seed" of promise and he had two sons, Esau and Jacob.
Christ clearly showed the difference between the "seed" of Abraham and the "children" in the following:
"They [the Jews] answered him, We be Abraham's seed... Jesus answered them...I know that ye are Abraham's seed...if ye [Jews] were Abraham's Children, ye would do the works of Abraham." [1]
Here Christ shows it is true that the Jews are Abraham's "seed" but they are not his "children."
The birthright, with the covenant promises, went to Jacob and his posterity , not to Esau. Jacob had twelve sons, but instead of selecting one son from among the twelve to receive the whole inheritance, Jacob called all of his sons together and divided his inheritance among them all. To Joseph and his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, he gave the birthright. By right of descent Reuben should have received this blessing, for he was the first-born son, but the record states:
"Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's.)." [2]
The Birthright
It is well to remember these instructions concerning the birthright which was given jointly to the sons of Joseph. It carried with it authority, power and headship over all the other families and tribes. It bestowed all the possessions of the father, which later comprised all the riches of the Kingdom, and, most important of all, the Divine hegemony was vested in the sons of Joseph. The descendants of none of the sons of Jacob apart from the sons of Joseph will be found to possess these blessings in their own right.
When, through strife and contention, others have come into possession of the inheritance that belongs to the sons of Joseph, the turbulence and trouble which followed soon dispossessed them of that which they had acquired by such violence.
Ephraim and Manasseh
Not long before his death Jacob/Israel instructed Joseph to bring his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, to him so that he might bless them.
As Joseph's father prepared to bestow the blessing, Joseph noticed that his hands were crossed so that his right hand was on the head of Ephraim, the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, the elder. Joseph remonstrated with Jacob, urging him to reverse his hands:
"And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude [fullness] of nations. And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh." [3]
Just prior to this event Jacob/Israel had adopted the sons of Joseph and said:
"...Let my name [Israel] be named on them, and the name of my father Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth." [4]
The blessing given to Joseph, which fell upon his two sons, after he died is recorded in Deuteronomy 33:13-17,
"And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land. For the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath. And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon. And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills. And for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh."
Judah's Blessing
These blessing conferred upon Ephraim and Manasseh, forecasting their future greatness, will be found as marks of identification in the possession of their descendants only. They cannot be expected to be in evidence as a part of the inheritance of the descendants of any of the other sons of Jacob, including the posterity of Judah. But Judah did receive a special blessing, for of him Jacob said:
"Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." [5]
Selections and Rejections
The kingly line and the right to rule were thus to come through Judah, so we will find a royal line among his descendants who will be wielding the sceptre. But this promise of the sceptre, as subsequently shown, was to be exercised by a specially chosen branch of Judah's posterity. Just as Jacob selected each of his sons to whom he gave certain blessings under the Covenant, so later god selected from the tribe of Judah the particular branch of that tribe the descendants of which were to be the recipients of this special inheritance. It is just as erroneous to expect all the descendants of Judah to come into possession of this blessing as it would be to expect all the sons of Jacob to inherit the birthright which was given to Joseph's two sons alone.
It is essential to an understanding of the Scriptures, without which it would be impossible to properly evaluate current world developments and present activities in Palestine, to recognize the selections which were continually being made by God who rejected some and chose others of the posterity of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to eventually receive the specific blessings Jacob gave to each of his sons.
Samuel Anointed David
When the time came for God to appoint the kingly line to rule over His people, He selected the family of Jesse and chose his youngest son to be anointed King. After all of Jesse's sons except one had been presented to Samuel and had been rejected, Samuel said to Jesse:
"Are here all thy children? And he said. There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance [with fine eyes and a handsome appearance], and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward." [6]
David's House
After Saul's Death David came to the throne, ruling first over Judah and then over all Israel. David's throne was established at that time in perpetuity. At first David was not accepted by the House of Israel, because they had, before God was ready, appointed a king of them. It was one of the sons of Gideon. The story is related in the eighth and ninth chapter of the Book of Judges.
"And Gideon had threescore and ten sons...And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech." [7]
Then Abimelech is made king of Israel at Shechem:
"And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech King, by the plain of the pillar that was Shechem." [8]
The original covenant God made with David was:
"And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever." [9]
God promised three unconditional things to David:
1). The continuity of David's House.
2). The endurance of his Kingdom.
3). The perpetuity of his Throne.
God further confirmed the certainty of this covenant which he made with David as set forth in the Psalm:
"I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations...I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him...My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with Him. His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven." [10]
Established Forever
During the darkest period in the history of Judah and Jerusalem, as the Throne of David seeded about to be destroyed, God, through Jeremiah the Prophet, confirmed this promise of the perpetuity of David's Throne. However, the Throne of David was henceforth to be established to reign over the House of Israel forever:
"For thus saith the Lord, David shall never want [or lack] a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel." [11]
The Throne
God had sworn to David in a covenant,
"Thy seed will I establish forever and build up thy throne to all generations."
David's seed would endure forever and his throne as the days of heaven. Even if they sinned, God would keep His covenant [contingent on His Word, not on the party to the covenant beside Himself]. He would not lie.
"His [David's] seed [offspring progeny, family] shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established forever as the moon, as a faithful witness in heaven."
"David shall never want a man ['iysh' ‑‑ hebrew for man or woman, as in [12] to sit one the throne of the House of Israel.' [13] ‑‑ of the fruit of David's body they would sit on the throne...nothing said about male or female]."
We do not want to forget that this is God's Throne! He abdicated it for Israel to have human kings. Nor should we expect the ruling royal family to be exemplary, for God told us what human kings would be doing to us, And They Do. David and Solomon were sinful men.
The Throne of David was to always have Judah [14] cling to her until Christ returned. God had prepared for this happenstance when Zarah/Judah went to Ireland instead of [staying in] Egypt. In Israel there were female judges, such as Deborah. By God's own laws, he could use the daughters of the king to assure David's continuity.
There were two daughters, Tamar [Tea Tephi] and Scota, for whom Scotland was named, so some historians tells us. Because of a family relationship, the care of the girls fell to Jeremiah the Prophet, and Baruch his scribe. God told Jeremiah,
"See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant."
Ezekiel 17 is about the "topmost twig" of the cedar tree [representative of royalty], and Tea Tephi being the princess through whom the House of David could be carried. Jeremiah and Baruch took her and her sister to Ireland where the other line of Zarah-Judah was already involved in sea traffic and mercantile trade.
Tea Tephi married Eochaidh the Heremon, King of Ireland, a descendant of the Zarah line of Judah, thus joining both of Judah's twin sons ‑‑ heirs in the royal line ‑‑ from whom have come the kings of Ireland, Scotland and England to this day, and healed the Breach as spoken of by the midwife which delivered Zarah and Pharez. The House of David was in the Holy Place.
They would stay there awaiting the time when the Holy of Holies could come into existence and our King would return to earth. We are assured Tea Tephia married into the tribe of her fathers. She was the twin son, Pharez, and her husband of the Zarah line. We have Tea Tephi's poems and story of her trip, and she names those with her, and Irish history carries the story of their shipwreck at Carrickfergus, off the coast of northern Ireland. Royal records of the arrival of Jeremiah coincide with the scriptural date of their flight to Egypt, and then West.
We can visit Jeremiah's grave in Loch Erne, a land‑locked island in Ireland, and at Meath, north of Dublin, one can visit the spot at TARA where Tea Tephi is interred. Tea Tephi, Scota, Jeremiah and Baruch had taken with them, among other items of interest, the stone on which the Kings of Israel had been crowned.
Today, this stone is in the Throne Chair of England, in Westminster Abbey, with a sign that says it is believed to be the stone Jacob slept on! God's Kingdom is called a stone kingdom. This is perfect symbology.
The Bible says the throne would be overturned three times before Christ came for it. Tea Tephi took [the throne and] the stone to Ireland Circa 580 B.C., and for 1083 years Irish Kings were crowned on this stone. In 503 A.D., Fergus [the Great] crossed from Ulster, Ireland to Lona, Scotland with the stone, and around 563 A.D., St. Columba had Lia Fail [the name by which you find information in the Encyclopedia about this stone], the stone of Jacob, taken to Scotland.
In the Scottish National Library there is a Gaelic manuscript written by Dugaid the Scot, son of Mcphail, in 1467, containing the complete genealogy of Scottish Kings, showing descent from Irish Kings, to Abraham through Judah. The stone stayed in Scone, Scotland until 1296 A.D., when it was transferred to London by Edward I, and a chair was constructed to hold it. All British kings and queens have been crowned upon it.
God has verified Ezekiel's prophecy. The throne did overturn three times, from: (1) Jerusalem to Ireland, (2) Ireland to Scotland, and (3) Scotland to England where it is between Judah's feet until Christ [Shiloh] comes. And it will be given him. The Kingdom [and her King] would come to the daughter of Jerusalem/America.
The Lord shall reign over them in Mt. Zion/America [Jerusalem is where the church is. Zion is the place from where the laws of God go forth]. America is spoken of as New Zion, New Jerusalem and daughter Zion, daughter Jerusalem.
The throne will have one more overturn to His Holy of Holies, His Kingdom, when He joins His two sticks into one Kingdom in America. While the royal line of David was being preserved in the West, God was preparing Judah in Babylon to return and rebuild Old Jerusalem and the Temple again. The Assyrian Empire had been conquered by the Babylonians.
Now the great Babylonian Empire was being overcome by the Medes and Persians [modern day Iran and Iraq]. While in Babylon, some of these Israelites of Judah did not practice the segregation required always of Israel.
They Mingled the Holy Seed with that of the people of the lands of Babylon, taking their sons and daughters to marry. The people of Babylon are as follows: Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, Amorites [15]. This is almost an identical list of the nations in [16] that God told Israel to kill...wipe out...destroy, even children. There were many with no [kept] genealogies [only Israelites have ever kept genealogies as a race]. They were polluted. They could not show their father's house, nor their seed whether they were of Israel. They separated from Judah [segregation], all the mixed multitude, when they had heard the Law of God.
However, there was a group who did not intermarry with those wicked forbidden races. Zerubbabel, a forefather of Jesus who is found in both the Matthew and Luke genealogy of Jesus, was pure of race, and thus could build the Temple [17]. Abijah, a forefather of John the Baptist [18] was also pure and qualified to build the Temple. This is very Positive Evidence that Neither John nor Jesus, who were cousins, were JEWS.
We have some of the wives of these God‑fearing and obedient men raising a great cry against their "brethren the Jews," Judahites who had married babylonian seed. They had learned the art of Usury in Babylon, something that the Bible forbids Israelites to have anything to do with. These evil people were "Exacting usury, everyone of his brother."
Nehemiah said for them to leave off the usury, and to return the land, vineyard, olive orchards, houses, corn, wine, oil that they were exacting of them. It sounds much like our modern farm crisis. Assyria took Israel and Judah out of the land and brought in their own people, and Sabeans. The poor of Israel who had been left behind intermarried with them and became known as the "Samaritans."
When Babylon moved Judah to Babylon, no people were brought into the land, but it lay idle for 70 years. The Judahites in Babylon did marry the Babylonians and became known as "Jews."
In 1400 B.C., the ten‑tribed Israel had married into the same seven forbidden races, much to God's displeasure. This led to His divorcing them and sending them away into captivity for 2520 years.
When Judah returned to Jerusalem from Babylon, they were two very distinct people. They lived side by side for 400 years. The mixed seed known as Jews was one group, and the pure seed group were the "good basket of figs" or of Judah. The one group would kill Jesus, the other would "return to Him with their whole heart."
From A Pictorial History of the Jewish People we learn the Jews returned with the "synagogue," while the pure devout held to the Temple [God's House of Prayer].
They looked forward to the coming of Christ. The Jews brought back the Babylonian Talmud ["halacah" or oral tradition], while the pure‑seeded kept the scrolls of The Holy Scriptures, Christ read from a scroll of [19].
Nehemiah calls our attention to what may be the first history of "Yiddish." Judahites had wed wives of Ashdod, Ammon and Moab.
Their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod and could not speak the Jews' language, but mixed their tongue according to the language of each people. Paul asked if God had cast away His people? then he quoted form [20], that God still had 7,000 who had not bowed their knees to Baal. This is how [and why] the writer of Acts could say there were "devout men out of every nation" in Jerusalem at Pentecost.
If representatives of "every nation under heaven" were hearing in their own tongue, or language of the country from which they had come, and they were addressed by Peter as "ye men of Judea/Israel," it is reasonable to believe they had come to the Feast of Pentecost, since it was required of Israel's males to appear before the Lord three times a year: at Passover, at Pentecost and at the Feast of the Tabernacles.
This was Pentecost and there were present local residents and some of the "devout" dispersed of Israel. Many nations are mentioned, the first four being of the Persian Empire. Arabians and those in Asia could have been those of India, which the book of Esther mentions.
Peter addressed the "strangers scattered abroad" and in the next verse qualified it by saying they were Elect [Israel is God's elect [21].
Our understanding will be enhanced by considering what the American Encyclopedia says about Gaul, the land of the Galatians.
Caesar, in his Gaelic wars, said all Gaul was divided into three parts, one part called Gallic Transalpina [over the Alps to the east just where ten‑tribed Israel had wandered into Romania and Transylvania and on toward Germany].
Another part of Gaul was Cisalpina, running along upper Italy to the Adriatic where much of Judah would pass on their way to Italy and Spain. The third part was from the Pyrenees mountains between Spain and France as we know it, where vast numbers settled. This section of Gaul ran to the Rhine River and Treves [which was settled with Israelites by Assyria.
In 397 A.D., this group of Celts seem to have disappeared. Could these be those Anglo‑Saxons no one seems to know the origin of? The encyclopedia says their kinsmen were British.
The Companion Bible, in "Introductory Notes to Galatians," enlightens us,
"It may be added that in Galatia proper, the people spoke in Keltic, a language they used unto at least the time of Jerome, who records hearing the same tongue there as he heard in Treves. The Keltic predominated in Galatia."
Paul went over all the country of Galatia! Paul was preaching and telling them of each of the laws which, if they broke,
"Ye shall not inherit the Kingdom of God."
Like Peter told the Israelites on the day of Pentecost, Paul and all the disciples were going to be the "other sheep" Christ said he had, not of the fold in Jerusalem. They were telling them to repent, be Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sons and reception of the Holy Ghost.
"For the promise is to you and your children and all that are afar off [meaning we of 1996] even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
Jesus said,
"Them [the other sheep] I must bring and they shall hear my voice and there shall be one fold and one shepherd."
One nation and one King over all twelve tribes of Israel.
Throne Over Israel
From the time that Nebuchadnezzar took Jerusalem to the present day there has been no man of the House of David sitting upon a throne ruling over Judah. Nevertheless, the line of David has been furnishing rulers during the intervening centuries who have been ruling over the House of Israel for God's word has not failed in fulfillment.
In the beginning David reigned for seven years over Judah and afterward over the House of Israel for an additional thirty-three years. Now a man of the line of David is ruling over the House of Israel, with the Jews refusing to accept him as their King just as the Israelites refused to accept David as King during the first seven years of his reign.
Throne In Israel
It has been established beyond question of successful refutation that the Anglo-Saxon-Germanic-Scandinavian-Celtic peoples are the modern descendants of the northern ten-tribed Kingdom of Israel and, therefore, they constitute the House of Israel in the world today.
Furthermore, it has also been definitely established that the throne in Great Britain is the Throne of David which was established over the House of Israel in the Isles.
In the providence of God Jeremiah was instrumental in transferring the throne, following the captivity of the House of Judah, to the British Isles.
While the sceptre belongs in the line of Judah, we find that the House of David alone was selected to receive the sceptre and lawgiver and, lest it be forgotten, There Are No Jews In The House of David, The House of Judah or the House of Israel!
Use Of Terms
It is well here perhaps to clarify distinctions which should always be made in the use of terms. Judah, as has already been pointed out, was one of the twelve sons of Jacob and, in this use of the term, it merely designates a man whose name was Judah. Later, the families and descendants of each of the twelve sons of Jacob bore the name of that son as a tribal distinction, so the posterity of Judah became known as the tribe of Judah; that is, the families or clan of Judah.
David's father's house was one of the families of this tribe. In selecting David to be anointed King, God chose a family out of the tribe of Judah to be separated from the clan of Judah and to become a Royal House which was to furnish rulers for His people. The remaining families of the tribe of Judah became known later on as the House of Judah.
Thus, we see that the tribe of Judah was divided into two houses: (1) The House of David and (2) The House of Judah. Three houses therefore emerged as the result of the selection, separation and organization of the descendants of Jacob. The ten-tribed Kingdom, or House of Israel, consisted of ten tribes, each named after a son of Jacob. Levi, the priestly [and bureaucratic] tribe, remained separate from all these house, for men of this tribe were scattered throughout all Israel officiating in their priestly capacity among all the tribes.
As will be shown later, Benjamin, one tribe of the House of Israel, was loaned to the House of David and, along with the House of Judah, remained loyal to the Throne of David when the rest of the House of Israel revolted, setting up a government of their own at Samaria. This occurred at the time of the division of the Kingdoms into the northern Kingdom [House of Israel] and the southern Kingdom [House of Judah] in 970 B.C.
The name designating the nation as the Nation of the Nation of the Jews came into being following the return of a remnant of the House of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin from Babylon captivity where they had been taken by Nebuchadnezzar. This nation was so designated because it became the nation of the religion of the Jews and called today Judaism.
That is, the term Jew, in addition to designating a descendant of the forefather Judah, from then on applied to all people, regardless of race, who adhered to the Jewish Religion! This nation of the Jews was composed of people who were not racially related to the Israelites.
However, because the term Jew also designated a religious belief which they held before the coming of Christ, they are often referred to as Jews. In the rejection of Christ, it was the Jews who refused to accept Him, while the Benjamintes, or Galileans, became His followers and disciples.
Jews Reject Christ
Christian men and women are familiar with the Jewish rejection of Christ and the declaration of the Jews and their leaders that they would not "have this man to reign over them." Christ was of the House of David and God, through Jeremiah, declared that, following the terms of captivity and punishment of both the House of Israel and House of Judah, no man of the House of David would ever again reign over the House of Judah.
Just as the Jews of our Lord's day refused to accept the Kingship of Christ, a man of the House of David, so today the Jews of Palestine have refused to accept the rulership of the House of David and they fought against the Crown, finally compelling Great britain to withdraw from Palestine.
Had the Jews accepted the British mandate over Palestine, and the administration of law under the Crown, the House of David would then have been ruling over them. But they rejected that rule and furthermore, they disputed the right of the House of Israel to claim the land of Israel. In doing this the Jews fulfilled Ezekiel's prophecy, which we have previously states:
"Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given in possession." [22]
Political Zionism
Ezekiel is very accurate and uses the correct term in describing modern activities in Palestine as he designates the people who are opposing the House of Israel and seeking to wrest their inheritance away from them. Because The Zionists who are today in opposition to the House of Israel are Not Descendants of Judah at all, some are not even Jews religiously for in actuality they are atheists, he refers prophetically to them as the "inhabitants of Jerusalem."
A Zionist is anyone regardless of race who adheres to the principles of Zionism, particularly the principles of political Zionism. Actually, Zionism is now a term describing a secular political movement the purpose of which is to establish a Jewish nation with Palestine as the national homeland.
Not all Jews are political Zionists, nor are all such Zionists Jews. Non-believers, Communists, atheists, and even some make-believe Christians, are Zionists.
Dr. Rabinowitch, a prominent Jew, in The Zionist Movement Unmasked, stated:
"As political Zionists have repeatedly affirmed, a person, born a Jew, may be an atheist and still be a loyal Zionist. Moses Hess, author of the historic and economic basis of Political Zionism, was an anarchist who, both in writing and on the platform, propagated the theories of the Proudhon school of anarchy. Theodore Herzl was a renegade Jew, who rather suddenly became conscious of his Jewishness when, during his assignment by his newspaper to witness and report upon the infamous Dreyfuss trial, he discovered that, in spite of his so-called 'enlightenment,' he was no more immune than the most observant Jew to the anti-Semitism of his day, and, in Tel Aviv, Palestine, the only almost completely Jewish city in the world, one may see violated, flagrantly and daily, by political Zionists, most fundamental Jewish laws, in complete disregard of the feelings of their orthodox Jewish neighbors.
It is not an accident that the majority of the leaders of Political Zionism are Russians or descendants of Russians, for this movement, except for sporadic attempts in the early centuries, had its origin in Russia amongst the so-called 'enlightened' Jews and is a culmination of that which the Haskalah, the so-called Russian-Jewish renaissance started. Leo Pinsker was a Russian [Jew], and Perez Smolenskin, who gave to Political Zionism its philosophy in a nutshell, was a Russian [Jew]. There are observant Jews amongst the political Zionists, the Mizrahi, but they are a small group.
The aim of Political Zionism is a Jewish State. Religious Zionism is, thus, motivated by piety, whereas Political Zionism is propelled by a material nationalism, though of different degrees."
Mr. Benjamin Freedman, explains further in Palestine:
"Popular ignorance of the real basis of political Zionism is beyond calculation. Vaguely most Christian Americans have the idea that the Jews claim Palestine because it was the 'Promised Land' in which they lived for a period of a few centuries that ended 2000 years ago."
Mr. Freeman's presentation of the non-Semitic origin of these people will be found in his statements quoted in the Incredible Hoax [23], setting forth facts most Americans do not know.
Israel's Withdrawal
Under Jewish pressure the House of Israel has withdrawn from Palestine, in conformity to the prophecy of Hosea. That withdrawal was inevitable since the House of Israel must come into possession of their heritage as a gift from God, not under a mandate from the United Nations.
"Great Britain is determined to withdraw from Palestine. Her task there has been a thankless one, for the very people whom she has endeavored to protect have done everything in their power to alienate the sympathy of their protectors. Evidently the Jews now feel they are strong enough to face the situation alone and are welcoming British withdrawal. So no we are to witness a further step in the fulfillment of Ezekiel's prophecy as the Jews said to the House of Israel: 'Get you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given in possession.'
The Jews are determined to have their way but the verdict of time will demonstrate the impossibility of their securing complete control of Palestine. Britain proposes to withdraw, but God has also said through His Prophet Ezekiel that He would given that land to Abraham's seed.
Let us analyze the situation. In 1917 Great Britain fulfilled the prophecy given through Ezekiel: 'I will lay my vengeance upon Edom [Edom is in modern Jewry [24]] by the hand of my people Israel.' [25]
When Jerusalem was captured and the Turks were driven from Palestine this prophecy was [partly] fulfilled. The Church in Israel should have proclaimed to God's people the significance of this event but instead, not knowing who Israel [really] is, they have been trying since to assist the Jews [Christ's enemies] to secure territory that does not belong to them. Also, as a signal that the Times of the Gentiles [Israel Nations] had ended, the taking of Jerusalem should have been a trumpet blast to Christendom that the end of the age had come. Christ Himself gave us this event as a sign when He said: 'And Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.'
With the ending of World War I the House of Israel had come into possession of their ancient homeland. However, because of their blindness, and particularly the blindness of Israel's spiritual leaders to the Israelitish identity of Great Britain, they have failed to recognize that Palestine belongs to her as a gift from the Almighty. In 1919 Great Britain was one of fifty-four nations to become a member of the League of Nations. Great Britain, blessed of God, had won territorial possession of Palestine in battle, but with the formation of the League of Nations she relinquished to the League the right to say to whom Palestine should be awarded.
For thirty years Great Britain has exercised her authority over Palestine under a mandate from heathen nations and not as the rightful possessor of the land of her forefathers. Now, at the end of those thirty years, she is being forced to withdraw...
From the inception of this mandate there has been nothing but turmoil and trouble, bloodshed and murder as the Jews challenge the British right to rule in Palestine. The present determination to withdraw is the inevitable end of the course Great Britain has pursued, particularly the refusal to recognize that the land of Palestine belongs to her under Divine fiat.
The League of Nations is defunct, so Great Britain has served notice on the United Nations that Palestine is now to become their responsibility. It is well to note that this withdrawal notification comes just 30 years after the capture of Jerusalem by General Allenby. This 30-year period is most important. Thirty years is the length of the great Year of Months found in Great Pyramid chronology. It is also the number of years beginning with the Elizabethan Period to the destruction of the Spanish Armada, from which era the 'time no longer' period of Revelation dates. At the end of this cycle we have a corresponding period, also of 30 years, dating from 1917-1918 A.D. and expiring in 1947-1948 A.D.
The withdrawal of Great Britain from Palestine will be temporary and within its duration The Jewish Problem will be finally settled..." [26]
The Jews will be totally destroyed:
"The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom [the Jews]; We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: Thou art greatly despised. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high [in control of governments from the heights]; and saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars [tribes of Israel [27]], thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord. If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes? How are the things of Esau [Edom [28] the Jews] searched out! how are his hidden things sought up! All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him. Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the Mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. For thy violence against they brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. in the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces [29], and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem [30], even thou wast one of them [31]. But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger: neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah [32] in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress. Thou shoudest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway to cut off those of his that did escape [33]; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress. For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head. For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been. But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. And The House of Jacob Shall be a Fire, and The House of Joseph A Flame, and The House of Esau [the Jews] for stubble, and they shall kindle in them and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of The House of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it." [34]
Prophecy Regarding The House Of Israel
Through Ezekiel God declared of the House of Israel, not the Jews:
"Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come. Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel [another land other than Palestine [35]]. And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence. And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God." [36]
This is in accord with the statement in Amos:
"Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord. For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth." [37]
The Nation of the Jews was broken up and destroyed but the people of the House of Israel were sifted among the nations as they moved westward, then gathered in accordance with God's plans into the appointed place and none fell by the wayside.
Where Is The "Appointed Place"?
Answer: In the course of the centuries the House of Israel passed on, moving into the wilderness of central and southern Europe and eventually coming into the Isles of the Sea. Some took the water route, passing through the Mediterranean and sailing by sea to the British Isles, however, the main body of the people trekked overland to the appointed place of which Nathan the Prophet spoke when he told David that the Lord had said:
"Moreover I Will Appoint A Place For My People Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime," [38]; "Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning." [39]
That this appointed place includes more than just the Isles of the Sea is clear from the directions given through Isaiah which bound the territory in which latterday Israel would reside:
"Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west..." [40]
Also, it had to be a place large enough for a thousand million and more. Prior to this the Lord's message through Isaiah was:
"...I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages." [41]
The wilderness of the people, where the House of Israel, in exile from Palestine, were to grow and expand into a great multitude of people and company of nations, and where they were to find grace in the sight of the Lord:
"...found grace in the wilderness..." [42]
This is defined by Isaiah as north and west of Palestine.
"Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them. And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the North and from the West..." [43]
In giving a short history of Israel and their Westward trek, I am going to deviate from my usual procedure and am not going to insert the Scripture reference. If you wish the Scripture reference for this get yourself a Strong's Concordance and look them up, it will help you in your studies, which is why I am not giving them to you here. I hope you will try to prove us in error for that way you will become even more convinced that we are correct in our beliefs. Also if we are redundant at times please forgive me, and think about the services you have heard from your "Judeo-Christian Ministers" for they repeat themselves without end and never will reveal as much as you have already received from this book, this combined presentation.
When Joseph was a ruler in Egypt and, due to the famine, had his father and brethren brought to Egypt, they are said to have been seventy souls. Judah had twin sons, Pharez and Zarah. It is notable that Zarah's line is Not a part of the genealogy of those who went into Egypt, as is the Pharez line.
Zarah, whose name means sprout or seed, was the twin whose hand appeared first, at birth, and on which a scarlet thread was placed. Pharez was born, then Zarah. This hand and the red thread are still a part of the heraldic symbolism of Ulster, Ireland today...the very land Zarah's descendants peopled. Zarah's line had wandered away from Judah's family about 220 years before the Exodus [1480 B.C.], from Egypt.
Darda and Calcol, grandsons of Zarah, are said to have moved westward. Camden's "Historia Britannica" tells us Calcol sailed from Egypt to Spain to Ireland where he established Ulster [1600 B.C.].
From these men of Israel we have had at least ten American presidents and seven famous inventors, according to The National Geographic Magazine of August, 1964, page 261.
Abraham's descendants, these Judah sons, were still called Heb(e)rews, being descended from Heber, meaning "colonizer." Heber was a great great grandson of Noah. Thus we have them naming the places they went. Iberia [Spain], and upon arriving in Ireland, they were known as Hibernians. In Spain we have Zaragossa on the (H)Ebro River to this day, and for 3600 years Ulster has had the emblem of the red hand.
In the meantime, Zarah's son, Darda, moved northward into Asia Minor, founding a nation on the shores of the Dardanelles and establishing a kingdom, the capitol of which was Troy. Troy was founded [1446 B.C.] 34 years before the Exodus of the rest of Israel from Egypt as we learn from Pitavious' "History of the World."
Josephus, the historian, calls Darda "Dardanus." Sharon Turner's "History of the Anglo‑Saxons" mentions in the Langfedgatel Dardanus' descendants from troy, as does Homer's Iliad. Turner further named Troes, a grandson of Dardanus, as having a son whose descendants were Capys, Anchises and Aeneas, the latter a famous hero of Troy. These sons of Judah through Zarah's line never entered the Land of Palestine.
Calcol and Darda were evidently very brilliant men. Solomon is said to have been wiser than all men, even these. They carried the scarlet thread of Zarah...the red branch of Irish history. To this day, a red thread runs through every British rope in the Navy; and each official British paper is wrapped with a red cord.
Geoffrey of Monmouth handed down the British version of a Trojan colony, led by one Brutus, the great great grandson of Aeneas, thus a descendant of Darda, as settling the British Isles not long after the fall of Troy [1185 B.C.]. The stone he is supposed to have stepped on is still marked today in Totnes, in the sound of Dart, in Devon, twelve miles inland from Torbay. The English Chronicles list the kings in Britain along with those who ruled in Old Israel. Brutus is said to have ruled when Eli was a priest in Israel [1070 B.C.].
The Trojan War was a struggle between kindred people. Agamemnon, king of the Greek Mycenae, led an expedition against the Trojan Dardanians to rescue Helen, the wife of his brother Menelaus, King of Sparta. The Spartans in many histories are called the Lacedemonians and brethren of the Israelites, as they are in the Apocrypha in [44]. [The books of the Apocrypha were in all Original King James Bibles ‑‑ until the Jews through their influence in the church had them expunged].
Josephus records an exchange of letters. The seal affixed to the Lacedemonian letter bore the Danite emblem, the eagle and serpent. Homer, the poet, also described this seal in the Iliad.
Herodotus (1, 56) says the Lacedemonians were of Doric blood, so called from Dorus, son of Helen. The earliest immigrants to Greece, according to Diodorus Siculus, were lacedemonians. The greater part of Israel followed Moses. Those who left Egypt settled in Argos and Athens, while some sailed to regions of Italy and Greece. Their descendants, the Young's Concordance, lists under the word "Gentiles," from the word Hellenes, from Hellas the Greek city, named for Helen of Troy. These Israelites were known for their heroic endeavors.
Cadmus introduced letters of the alphabet to Greece, according to Herodotus (11, 49). Tyre was close to Dan and provided the mariners, even in Solomon's time. We know Danites and other Israelites resided in Tyre, which was given to the tribe of Asher but was never occupied by them.
One of the most ancient historians, Sanchoniathon, who lived before the Trojan War, said that the Gods, or deities of Greece, etc., were based on ancestor worship and were of Hebrew origin. Cory's ancient Fragments, 1876, page 21‑22, tells us that Kronus was Jacob [Israel], and he had a son called Judah, Zeus.
Gladstone, in his "Juventus Mundi" page 36‑41, traces the origin of the name Danone to 200 years before the Trojan War [1300 B.C.]. he does not identify the Greeks with Dan, but suggests the original tribe of DANaans may have existed with an Egyptian origin, and why not? Dan was in Egypt. And why Did Dan "remain in ships?"
Other writers identify the Danoi as having left Greece and settled in Ireland, these called the "Tuatha De Danaans" [Tribe of Dan]. The Irish Chronicles say their coming was opposed by those already in Ireland, which caused a battle to follow. The Danaans were victorious and peace ensued when they found their opponents spoke a language similar to their own.
We have Israelites then in Greece, Italy, Spain, Britain, Ireland and Scotland living active lives and having kings over them before the children of Israel ever left Egypt and had their Red Sea Exodus experience.
These children of Judah/Israel were never in Egypt or Palestine but God in His wisdom was preparing for those who would eventually be taken in Assyrian and Babylonian captivity, and brought to these places in their movements westward.
From the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were sent east. Cain was sent east to the land of Nod. When Noah was in the ark during the flood, he too was taken east to Ararat. David was told while he stood in Old Jerusalem that God would give His people "a land of their own" [45] and move them into it. We will see the westward migrations of Israel well pre‑figured in the tabernacle which one entered from the east and had to work their way west to the Holy Place, and then to the Holy of Holies.
These in Ireland, Scotland and Britain were preparing the Holy Place. They, in their lands, were the forerunners of what was promised to Jacob, in that he would become a multitude of commonwealth of nations. Jacob passed this blessing to Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh.
Ephraim was to be God's first‑born [nation]. This is exactly what we see God working out so long ago. We learn that in our day God would still have His two nations, one the Holy Place and the other the Holy of Holies. They are spoken of as two sticks and such they are today.
Two nations - two nations based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The one stick was to be Ephraim with Judah as we have been reading and Judah we are told would be with the House of David, or the Throne of the Lord that Solomon sat on.
The Queen [of England] claims heritage with the royal Line of David, keeping the Throne between Judah's feet until Shiloh [Jesus Christ] comes in power and glory. We know the other stick is America, the Holy of Holies, His Kingdom place from which He will reign.
God heard when the children of Israel cried because of their bondage and slavery in Egypt. Most people know the stories of Moses and Pharaoh, the escape of Israel through the Red Sea, and Israel's 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. Few, even "Judeo-Christian Ministers," know that at the giving of the Laws and Ordinances, Statutes and Judgements the Israelites told Moses,
"All the Lord hath spoken, we will do."
They became husband and wife. Our Father, the God of Israel, tells us:
"Thy maker is thine Husband: the Lord of hosts is His name; they REDEEMER the Holy One of Israel. the God of the whole earth shall He be called."
The plan was that they, God and Israel were to conceive a child, The Kingdom of God on earth. The Children of Israel had gone into Egypt as 70 souls but came out as 600,000 men, plus women and children [which would total from one to two million people] not counting the mixed multitude. There were None feeble, None diseased. Being a husband to Israel, He now took complete care of them. As an example, we have God telling them,
"Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee...neither did their foot swell these forty years...I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes are not waxen old upon you and thy she is not waxen old upon thy foot...Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink, that ye might Know that I am the Lord your God."
God fed his wife [Israel] manna and they did not have to work to eat [demonstrating that it is the husband who is to support the woman, the wife, and not as we do today]. This is spoken of as angel's food. They were given water from the rock. There was a mixed multitude among the Israelites, and these caused Israel to become disgruntled, saying they wanted the cucumbers, leeks and onions, meat and fish they had in Egypt. God became very angry with their lusting. He gave them quail...equal to a day's journey on each side of them and two cubits high, which is too deep to be happy in. Before they had their meat out from between their teeth and chewed.
God caused a plague to hit them. He was really wrathful, and He called the place Kibroth Hattaavah [graves of lust] because the ones who lusted after meat all died and were buried there. God had fed them manna so they would learn,
"Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord."
He chose these people to walk in His commandments and His ways and to fear Him. It was His plan to greatly bless them and form them into a great Kingdom, and He didn't want them to say in their hearts "my power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth."
"But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers as it is this day."
This was the covenant He made with Abraham to bring forth from his Seed a great nation and a commonwealth of nations. They were to be a special Holy people above all the people on the earth. We were to love Him and keep His commandments so He could bless us in every way. Israel was to live by every word of God. Paul tells us,
"Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God."
He wanted our implicit Trust in all. We shall soon find ourselves in Armageddon [place of no way out]; then our people will learn their lesson, for He Shall Save Us. Know therefore the Lord thy God. He is God, the faithful God which keepeth His covenants and has mercy on them that love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations [a generation is accepted to be about 40 years]., so this means 40,000 years [more or less]. [46]
From Abraham to Christ was 2000 years...From Christ to the present 2000 years...That means we still have 36,000 years just to fulfill the Abrahamic Covenant! He repayeth them that hate Him to their face to destroy them. When He comes He will miserably destroy those wicked men.
"Bring those who would not have Me reign over them and slay them before Me."
An entire generation of Israel died in the wilderness because of their disobedience, even to making of a golden calif to worship while Moses was in the Mount with God. They wanted other gods, an abomination to Yhvy‑God, something He detests! Finally, Joshua led them into the land flowing with milk and honey and, again, most of the stories of the entry into Palestine and their lives there under the judges and finally the kings are known to most people.
Samuel was made to understand the people wanted other gods and human kings. God told Samuel,
"They have not rejected thee, but they have rejected Me that I should not reign over them."
God told Samuel to "make them a king," and he then decided that he would Divorce His Adulterous Wife, take His name from her [Israel ‑‑ ruling with El, God] and so their child could not be born.
Assyrian Captivity of the Northern
Ten Tribes of Israel 740 to 689 B.C.
Shalmaneser, King of Assyria, besieged Samaria, the capitol of northern Israel, for three years. The story tells how Israel now feared other gods and walked in the statutes of the heathen. God was very angry with Israel and removed them out of His sight. They were placed even among the cities of the Medes and in Assyrian towns. Imagine what the feelings of the people must have been to be moved away from their relatives and country and God. Israel was rent from the House of David and taken into Assyrian Captivity. We learn God was very angry with much of Judah as well.
In a few short years, Sennacherib became King of Assyria [702 B.C.] and it was he that came and took 46 fortified cities of Judah and led 200,150 men of Judah also into this captivity. We can see the six‑sided clay prism in the British Museum, and you can study and see that they fought on camel‑back as they laid siege to Jerusalem, and the Assault of Engines and the use of mines. They certainly prove the Bible.
As was the custom of his day, Sennacherib deported masses of people to Assyria. The Judah people he took were totally distinct and separate from Judahites taken one hundred years later to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar, 42,000 of whom did return to Jerusalem after 70 years. They were permitted to rebuild the Temple for the coming of Jesus Christ. The migrations of ten‑tribed Israel and Judah are not difficult to trace. Josephus, writing in Antiquities of the Jews, said,
"There are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while the ten tribes are beyond the Euphrates until now and are an immense multitude."
In [47] [Apocrypha] we read of Christ coming to [New] Zion and gathering to Himself a peaceful multitude:
"These are the ten tribes which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Hoshea the king, whom Shalmaneser, the King of Assyria, led away captive, and he carried them over the waters and they came into another land ...But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen and go forth into a further country where never man kind dwelt...That they might there keep their statutes, which they had not kept in their own land...And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow passage of the river...Through that country there was a great way to go, namely a year and a half; and the same region is called Arsareth."
Arsareth is a region now known as Romania. The river Sareth is still there. They passed through Transylvania east of Hungary. In Treves, Germany, a tourist booklet tells they were settled by people the Assyrians brought in. The Apostles of Christ were instructed to preach to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel.
In Treves they have the crypt of Matthew, and a coat they claim to be Christ's. They [lost Israel] would continue westward into Britain, the Holy Place, from where in time a remnant would come to found this great nation America, founded for the unfettered worship of Jesus Christ and Him only.
The most convincing point is that we are here, doing and having done to us, the very prophetic appointments the Bible foretold concerning us, His Israel people, in that Great Nation promised to Abraham so long ago. There are many artifacts in the British Museum and others that give the names of Israel as she was called by each country through which God passed her. She was to pass through Assyria and was there known as "Bet Khumri." Jehu was king of ten‑tribed Israel and he was known as the "Son of Omri" [Khumri]. There is a black alabaster obelisk in the British Museum that depicts all this.
The same folk in Babylon were known as Ghimri or Gamir, and as Sacae in Persia. The historian Herodotus [500 B.C.] said the Sakae were led by Darius who married the daughter of Cyrus. the early Greek writers call the Scythians the Sacae, and Ptolomy links the Persian Sakae to the Saxons. So, we have the movement of the Israelite people through the nations they were to pass through in their 2520 years of captivity and punishment. We have the names they were known by in each nation.
There is so much proof on the historical stones, obelisks, rocks and clay tablets that it is not hard to locate Israel in her Migration west. She had not really been lost, nor had she ever completely given up the religion of the Temple.
We have at Pentecost those who had come back to keep the feasts: "...devout men out of every nation under heaven..." Parthians [north of Persia], Medes [Iraq of today], Phrygia and other Asia Minor cities, Egypt, Northern Africa [Libya], Rome, Crete, Arabs... all called men of Israel, men of Judah [48].
After Peter preached, the people that were added to the Church that had been in the wilderness [49] were 3,000...They understood it was for them he [Jesus Christ] had died, the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, and they gladly accepted His gift.
The Israelites and the 46 cities of Judah with their 200,000 citizens [of Judah and Benjamin] were taken into Assyrian Captivity because of their idolatry and sin. The Israelites who had gone into Egypt cried out and were rescued from their bondage by God, who led them out through the Red Sea. They wandered 40 years in the wilderness, again due to sin. An entire generation that God felt was unworthy died during this period, with the exception of two overcomers, Caleb and Joshua.
Finally, they were allowed to enter Canaan. This could be termed the capital of the devils' world. In the gospel of Luke, "Satan" did tell Jesus the kingdoms were delivered unto him, and to whomever he chose he would deliver them. In taking their capital, God was pre‑figuring his eventual taking of the entire earth. Canaan at that time consisted of seven nation: Hittites, Girgasites, Hivites, Canaanites, Jebusites, Amorites, and Perizites.
Israel was told to kill all the men, women and little ones. "Thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth, but utterly destroy them," and the same list of nations is given as in [50]. Instead of obeying, "stiff‑necked" Israel dwelt among them and "look their daughters to be their wives and gave their daughters to their sons, and served other gods." "The children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and forgot the Lord their God."
The divorced wife, Israel, He removed from His sight. Ten‑ tribed Israel would never have a king in her again, until her seven times punishment was over, and Jesus Christ became her King.
Was Israel punished seven times; one for each nation, because she had not destroyed them, as God told her to do? So Israel was carried away to Assyria and she began her 2520‑year trek ...West...to become that "Great Nation" promised to Abraham...the Kingdom of God on Earth which Christ instructed us to pray for.
Babylonian Captivity 604 B.C.
To understand the story of these two nations [Israel and Judah] it is advisable to read the entire chapter of Ezekiel 23. Some of Judah was left in the land of Palestine. They committed abominations like the ten northern tribes and God said they had defiled His sanctuary, profaned His Sabbaths, and had committed adultery, and that He would bring up a company upon them that they might come to know Him.
These are two sisters [Aholah the elder is Israel, and Aholibah is Judah], the same two that are in the two sticks of Ezekiel, and the same two families which the Lord hath chosen.
Again, we find in our day the enemies of these two countries saying, "These two countries shall be mine," but the Lord says they are not calculating correctly, "Whereas the Lord is there" and He will protect His Children and Save us...we shall Not be theirs.
God said He Himself broke the Brotherhood between Israel [whom He terms Beauty], and Judah [He calls Bands]. The Brotherhood between Britain and America is still broken. We are still two nations...two sticks...two sisters...for just a little while longer. We already can read the signs that we shall become one nation with one King over us in the land He chose for His Kingdom, in America. He will be our King.
Micah describes the destroyer [Russia] coming upon Israel, the Judah House of David, and the Ephraim people making a great deal of noise by the movement of men, and the King goes out the gate, with the Lord at the head of them. All being gathered into the barn...the regathering of all Israel into the land of God gave Israel so long ago when He told David He would plant us in a land of our own: America!
We hear so much about "brotherhood" today, but if the brotherhood between Israel and Judah is broken, how can we have brotherhood with the other races and nations which are more divergent than we of Israel and Judah are from each other? Jesus said,
"Whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother."
The keeping of God's Laws is the basis for brotherhood. The Israel race is the only people to whom the commandments of God were ever given. It was Abraham's determination to go after the kings of those seven nations, some of whom were taking his nephew Lot captive. No one else would tackle them. After Abraham had overcome them and brought Lot and his wealth back; God, in the person of Melchisidek, came to bless him. God felt the faith and obedience seed in Abraham was useable.
"For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him and they shall keep the way of the Lord to do Justice and Judgement; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham `that' which He hath spoken of him."
The "that" was the covenant God had sworn, saying Abraham's seed [or offspring] would become a Great and Mighty Nation that would bless all nations of the earth...just as America has been and is doing...foreign aid...rehibilitiating our enemies of war...taking in the outcasts, feeding and clothing the world. Unfortunately, our leaders have not been wise in their Judgements and we find our-selves helping the ungodly and loving them that hate our Savior...therefore is wrath upon us from before the Lord! If our people would learn who they are and that we as Christians should not allow our tithe and tax dollars to be given in support of the Anti‑Christ religion of Judaism, we would not have the Lebanese situation, nor the taking of hostages.
"Many deceivers are entered into the world who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an anti‑Christ...Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God. he that abideth in the doctrine of Christ hath both the Father and the Son [`Oh, Lord thou art our Father and Redeemer']. If any come unto you and bring Not this doctrine [personal and national], receive him not into your house [or country]; neither bid him God speed, for he that biddeth him God speed is a partaker of his evil deeds." [51]; "If my people [Israel] turn from their wicked ways I will Hear...and forgive...and heal their land." [52]
We are the same Israel people of old which god sent into captivity for their sin...2520 years! Let's be Heard by Him; let us work more earnestly to educate our people and get our nation turned from its wicked ways [helping the ungodly, etc.] so he can heal our nation. The wife, Israel, must make herself ready for the remarriage, the Wedding. As soon as Israel of old would repent and cry out, God would hear immediately and help her! With the brotherhood broken, Judah as sinful as her sister, God brought Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, to take her captive.
The first attack rendered 3000 men of Judah to him; later, Circa 595 B.C., there were 10,832 craftsmen, smiths and the pick of the fighting men led bound to Babylon. The Babylonian army had spent eighteen months laying in siege before Jerusalem. Josephus the historian records a terrible famine at the time, and a pestilence of distemper. Finally, Babylon won. Jerusalem was demolished and left deserted for 70 years. Zedekiah, the king of Israel‑Judah, had seen his sons killed, then his own eyes were put out. Years later when Christ was on trial in Jerusalem, the people said truthfully, "We have no king but Caesar." From the removal of Zedekiah as King of Judah, there has never been a king in Old Jerusalem. The Zionists today talk of putting a king in power...Now!
Another son of Jacob was Dan, whose family and progeny were noted for their navigational skills; they, too, settled in the British (B(e)rith‑Covenant, I(y)ishman) Isles. Ten of the tribes of Israel are easily traced from 720 B.C., in their captivity in Assyria, to Europe as Celtic speaking people. Further study in this "Migrations of Israel" series finds them in the British Isles, and much later in America...that great nation promised to Abraham wherein they would dwell and "move no more." The other two tribes of Israel were taken in captivity to Babylon Circa 602 B.C. Only 42,360 of these captives returned to Jerusalem after being in Babylon for 70 years.
Cyrus, King of Persia, was the world leader at the time. Cyrus gave the proclamation in 539 B.C., for Judah, at God's command, to return and build the Lord a house in Jerusalem. Cyrus returned 5,400 silver and gold vessels the Babylonians had removed from the Jerusalem temple to their temple to their gods.
Those of Judah who had been brought into Babylon and who did not return as part of the 42,360 are reputed by both Jewish and Christian scholars to have moved on west into Spain and Portugal.
From the return of Judah to Jerusalem under Cyrus, they lived through the period depicted in Nebuchadnezzar's dream that Daniel interpreted: Babylon [the head of gold] had conquered Assyria; Medo‑Persia [the breast and arms of silver] had conquered Babylon during Judah's captivity; Greco‑Macedonia [the belly and thighs of brass] would defeat Persia in 479 B.C.; afterwards, pagan Rome [the legs and feet of iron] would be the world power, and it was when Jesus Christ was born.
These changing empirical powers had their effect of the Judahites who were the "Two Baskets of Figs" as they lived side by side in and around Jerusalem.
Leaders in this era, such as Aristobulus II and his brother John Hyrcanus, had a violent quarrel and Pagan Rome had to be called in to arbitrate the dispute.
The Encyclopedia Americana calls Hyrcanus a Jewish high priest [135‑105 B.C.] who forced the Idumeans to become "Jews." Idumea is the Greek for Edomites.
In the Bible Esau, Edo, Mt. Seir and Idumea are interchangeable for the offspring of Esau, Jacob's twin brother.
Herod the Great [37 B.C. to 4 A.D.], gave the order to kill the babies up to two years of age in the hope of murdering the baby Jesus, and was one of these Edomite Esau Jews. They ruled under the leadership of the roman Caesars.
God had told Abraham He would not hide from him His plans [nor are they hidden from us]. Isaac would be born to Abraham and Sarah, and God would establish His Covenant with Isaac and his Seed [Race].
The Covenant was that Abraham's seed would become a great and mighty nation. This establishment of God's Kingdom on Earth would not be contingent upon Abraham s offspring, but upon God Himself.
God swore by Himself:
"When God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, he sware by Himself." [53]
God told Abraham upon his offering of Isaac,
"...In thy seed shall all the nations on earth be blessed, because thou hast obeyed my voice." [54]
This would have a dual fulfillment. Christ would be born of that seed and Would Bless All Nations. The seed of Abraham would become the Great Nation we have become, blessing all nations, feeding and clothing them, taking them in until Christ would come a second time and take Government on His shoulders.
After Abraham's children were formed into a nation [the tribes of "Israel," which means "ruling or prevailing with EL, with God" the same name given to Jacob by God], the Israelites were given the Laws of God. Some of these were on two tablets of Stone.
The people said "All these we will do." Hereby God took the Israelites to be His wife. They conceived their spiritual child, the Kingdom, but Israel became an adulterous wife and God removed her out of His sight into Assyrian captivity, giving her a bill of divorce [55].
Israel had gone after other gods and kings [nations] so when God divorced her. He took His Name "EL" from her, hence she could not bring forth their "child" for it would have been a "bastard" nation.
Now, God Had A Problem
Or so it would seem to the human mind. Our Heavenly Father, however, had planned for this contingency from the Beginning; He had put in the constellations the Gospel of The Kingdom, and in that plan of Salvation "He was the Lamb, slain before the foundation of the world."
He had told the Children of Israel in the wilderness that they would be a peculiar treasure [which expression, in [56], means a purchased people]. he was telling them He would die for them!
By God's own Law, given to Israel, once there was a divorce and the wife took another partner, the prior arrangement by the original two partners could never be re‑entered into. So, there was No Way that God and Israel could be remarried and fulfill His plans to bring forth That Great Nation [His Kingdom Place] with the seed [Race] of Abraham. Our God, our Husband, would leave His heavenly realm and throne, come to earth and be our Savior. He, the Godhead [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] would become flesh. He would not send another to do this...he would come Himself to take our place.
"Forasmuch as the children [of Israel, as sons of Adam] are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil."
Our Maker [Creator‑Colossians 1:16), our Husband, our Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, God of the whole earth...for this woman [Israel], the wife of youth whom he had forsaken and whom He had wrath toward, He would now show mercy and kindness to, and come to die in her place [the death she deserved], so she could be remarried to Him and bring forth His child, the Kingdom.
For us, He endured the shame of living in this realm the adversary told Christ "I own;" our Savior took their stripes for our healing, and our God bore the shame of the Cross, the pain and suffering, and he was in agony. "His sweat as it were great drops of blood."
Abraham was called a Friend of God. Yahshua (Yah‑God; Shua‑Savior) will be asked when he comes again about the wounds in His hands and He will say, "I was wounded in the house of my friends." This is Abraham's house, the children of Israel]. We are the guilty race, the ones who caused those wounds. Jesus said, "I am not sent but unto the Lost Sheep of The House of Israel." His wife. how grateful we are to our Shepherd.
Caiaphas, the High Priest of the Jews at the time of Jesus' trial, said, "Consider that it is expedient that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not." This is exactly what and why Jesus gave His life for us. Our Iniquity was laid on Him...the sheep had turned every one to his own way. Let us turn from our own ways...to His; ask Him to come and heal us and our nation and to be our God and King. He said we would, in time, ask Him to do it for us. Now is the time to ask!
Two things were accomplished by our Savior's choice. He would offer hope and A WAY of escape [from bondage and death‑ eternally] for Adam's children. In Adam all die...in Christ are all [of Adam] made alive. Also, Christ would fulfill the requirements of the law for His remarriage to his wife, Israel.
One party to the original marriage had to die before there could be a remarriage. He gave Himself to make adulterous Israel a Virgin, a bride‑to‑be, that He ‑ our Bridegroom ‑ could marry and with whom He could bring forth His child, the Kingdom of God on earth [57]...it was the wife who Now made herself ready. Her Past Sins are forgiven her.
Israel was under the Law. God took flesh and was made of a woman ‑ under the Law ‑ to redeem those under the Law. Only Israel was ever given the Law, but Christ very clearly stressed that He did Not destroy the Law [by coming in the flesh].
"Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the prophets; I am not come to destroy but to fulfill,"
He further said!
"...not one jot or one title shall pass from the law, until all be fulfilled."
A jot and title were the most minute marks in Hebrew.
All will be fulfilled...all people will someday obey Him and His laws. The day will come when "Every knee shall bow to Him in heaven, on earth and under the earth." "...unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear" [even angels chained under the earth]. "THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH...AS IT IS IN HEAVEN" will be realized one day. If our Lord and Master didn't win every soul, He would not be Omnipotent, but He is!
After Christ arose from the dead, he was seen by many. then, there came the day He left the earth and ascended into the heavens in a cloud. The angel said He would return in like manner [nothing said about His returning to the same place]. Christians at the time of His Ascension were adding to His Body ‑ "The Church" ‑ and afterwards [58]. The same church [gahal] that was in the wilderness and had ritual service all pointed to Jesus, the Passover Lamb. It was a natural transition from Temple worship to Christianity. In fulfillment of Christ's prophecy.
Titus of Rome destroyed the Temple completely in 68 A.D. It's use was over. While the Christians were adding to the Church daily, the other faction, the "evil figs," [the Jews] who would not turn unto the Lord with their hearts, were busy persecuting the good figs: the Judahite Christians. Paul said he had a thorn [son of Belial] in the flesh [a human], a messenger of Satan buffeting or persecuting him. The bad figs were, like Judas the apostle, being used to further "The Kingdom of God." They were cruel and earnestly attempting to destroy Christianity...even as they are today.
There are many manuscripts to verify the Christians were being driven out of Jerusalem and going as far west in the Isles of Britain as they could, Bishop Ussher, whose datings are used in most Bibles, wrote in the Brittanicarum Ecclesiarun Antiquitates,
"The British National Church was founded in 36 A.D., 160 years before Rome confessed Christianity. Britain was officially proclaimed Christian by King Lucius at the national Council at Winchester [in] 156 A.D."
Many times the antiquity of the British Church was affirmed as being the first Christian group: at the Council of Pisa in 1417 A.D., the Council of Constance and the Council of Siena in 1423. It was stated that the representative of the British Church took precedence in seating over the others, the Church having been founded by Joseph of Arimathea immediately after the Passion of Christ in 36 A.D.
Cardinal Baronius, the outstanding historian of the Roman Catholic Church, and curator of the Vatican Library, in his Ecclesiastical Annals, refers to the exodus of these Christians in 36 A.D.,
"In that year the Jews, in hatred, placed Joseph of Arimathea in a vessel without sail or oar."
Joseph was the uncle of Jesus Christ, burying Him in his own personal tomb, fulfilling the prophecy that;
"He [Christ] made His grave with the wicked and the rich in His death."
Cardinal Baronius quoted Mistral in Mireio, and another ancient document in the Vatican Library. He named many of the Christians who accompanied Joseph in his expulsion: Mary Magdalene, Martha and Lazarus [their brother whom Jesus raised from the dead], Mary, wife of Cleophas, Salome, the mother of James and John. James was slain by the sword, and those who were associated with him were thrust into the boat on the coast of Palestine in hopes they would drown.
Our Father had other plans for them! They would carry the Gospel of The Kingdom West to France and the British Isles...who waited upon Him...Using their shirts for sails, the boat drifted to the coast of Provence, France and, following the Rhone river, arrived at Aries. Each of these Christians founded ministries among the Celts of Keltic language...the scattered 10 tribes of Israel. Martha and Marcella, her handmaiden [who was with her when she died], went to Tarascon and Avignon, Martial to Limoges, Lazarus to Marseille, Maximin and Sidonius to Aix, and Mary Magdalene to St. Baume, where even today they show you the cave she lived in.
Joseph of Arimathea, with the rest of the Christians, went to Glastonbury in the Isles of West Britain. As prophesied, these early Christians moved to these western areas "to renew their strength."
The people already in the isles saw and feared these things. "Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." The isles waited for His Law and accepted Him.
There is also documentation from early writers that, before the area was called Glastonbury, it was called the "Secretum Domini" [Secret of the Lord], and "Domus Dei" [Home of God].
Alfred the Great [King in 871 A.D.], in the Anglo‑Saxon Chronicles [can be seen in the British Museum] and William the Conqueror, who updated these records of land ownership in 1086 A.D., in what is called the "Domesday Book" [recently published and being sold to the public] states:
"The Domus Dei is the great monastery of Glastonbury called the `Secret of our Lord'. This Glastonbury church possesses in its own vills x 11 hides of land [1920 acres] which have never paid tax." [59]
Joseph is said to have arrived with eleven companions, and we read they erected round, thatched dwellings in a circle around a well. This well still flows and is called The Chalice Well. It was from here they reached out and are accredited with winning so many to Jesus Christ, whom they had known in person. Though our Erring Babylonian History tries to teach us that Caesar in 60 A.D., found the inhabitants of these isles, this is not borne out in documentation.
We have St. Augustine's letter to the Pope in contradiction. In 110 A.D., one of the Ptolemys of Egypt wrote,
"The Britains of Our Lord's day were not barbarous. Each city had its university and there are 56 large cities."
Chrystom wrote,
"With the acceptance of the new order of THE WAY, a great impetus was given to the erection of more seats of learning."
We know that Pontius Pilate attended school in Britain. The slogan over the entry of the Druidic universities was "What is truth?" Likely, this is the reason Pilate asked Jesus that very question. The Druids had a fabulous educational system and in very recent years at Stonehenge, Druid high priests have been found wearing the full regalia of the Hebrew High Priests. No human bones have ever been found, though those of animals have. The tales we have been told about the Druids is another Disinformation Ploy.
These seats of learning had monasteries and libraries. There are many manuscripts with such interesting and proving facts that are copies of material they had in the library at Glastonbury. Unfortunately, in the 1100's it burned. Even before Joseph and his party arrived, if you wanted to be a teacher or missionary, it was required [since they had no printing as we do] that one made their own copy of The Psalms to carry with them. Many went on to copy more of the old Scriptures.
Much later, in the 8th and 9th centuries, we find the Irish Book of Kells which were Scriptures that had been copied in Latin and beautifully and colorfully decorated. They are preserved at Dublin's Trinity College.
The reasons for Glastonbury being called the "Horne of God" and "The Secret of The Lord" will be explored. It was from Glastonbury that British missionaries from the newly planted Christian Church soon showed the virility of their church by invading Europe.
The Romans invaded the British Isles in 58 A.D., and took Caractacus, the king, captive to Rome. It was in their palace, the Titulus, that Paul and other disciples of Jesus Christ wrote much of our New Testament and converted these Britishers in Rome.
There was much interchange between Rome, France, Spain, Glastonbury and the rest of the British Isles, and many of the saints of our Bible ended their days in the monastery at Glastonbury, and are buried there. The stone crypt of Joseph of Arimathea can be seen today in St. John's Church in Glastonbury, under stained glass windows. The importance of these revelations, and the reasons they have been concealed from us is due to the fact they prove there is no such thing as "Judeo‑Christianity."
Christianity did Not come out of Judaism as our study has shown, and we as Christians owe nothing to the Jews, except a thanks for pushing us out of Jerusalem, and Palestine on our way West to Britain, the Holy Place, on our way to that Great Nation, that Kingdom place Jesus Christ went away to get, and then return...to the Holy of Holies, in America, where very soon, now, we shall meet our High Priest, face to face. Jeremiah gives the terms of the New Covenant of which Ezekiel was speaking and both refer to the removal of the stony heart from God's people:
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." [60]
Israel A Nation Always
That this message is addressed to a people who have remained a nation always is evident from the statement:
"Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever." [61]
A Curse and A Reproach
The sun and the moon are still shining so Israel is a nation before the Lord. This cannot be said of the Jews, for they ceased to exist as a nation when Titus took Jerusalem in 70 A.D. destroying the city and the Temple.
The destruction and dispersion of the Jews was finished in 135 A.D. For nearly two thousand years the Jews remained a scattered people without a king, without a government and without a country of their own, becoming a curse, a hiss and a reproach in all lands where they went as predicted by Jeremiah:
"Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the Lord." [62]
Judgment Upon Zionism
History has demonstrated how accurately these prophecies have been fulfilled in the life of the Jews. Turning again to Ezekiel, we find that after prophesying of the return of the House of Israel to the land of their forefathers, he declares concerning those who would undertake to dispossess Israel of her inheritance as the Zionists are doing today:
"But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads saith the Lord God." [63]
Ferrar Fenton renders this:
"But to those who proceed after their corrupt and depraved hearts, I will bring their own course on their heads, says the Mighty Lord."
Moffatt translates it: "But as for these others, who are devoted to their loathsome practices and detestable impieties, I will make them suffer for their conduct, says the Lord the Eternal."
The contrast presented between the House of Israel and those who are undertaking to lay claim to the land of Israel, and in doing so dispossess the House of Israel of their inheritance, is very marked.
The House of Israel is represented as being a Christian people at that time, while the usurpers of their inheritance are shown to be addicted to corrupt and perverted methods. In their desire to secure control in Palestine, the Jews have committed atrocities and massacred many Arabs.
Rev. E.J. Springett of Toronto, Canada, a few years ago summed up their activities in that land in one terse sentence when he said of the Jewish Israeli State:
"The State of Israeli was conceived in Fraud, Borne in Deceit, and Lives by Violence."
Promised Retribution
Through Ezekiel God has declared that he will visit upon them the type of suffering they have been instrumental in bringing upon others. Therefore, as the climax of the age approaches, we can expect to see terrible suffering come upon the Jews who have gathered together in Palestine.
Do not overlook the fact that many of the Jews who are today laying claim to the Holy Land, and who are known to the world at large as Jews, are neither Jews by descent nor by faith but are atheistic Communists setting up their control over Palestine. It is no wonder, then, that through His prophet Ezekiel God refers to the Jews as being devoted to loathscome practices and detestable impieties.
The Christian world has failed utterly to recognize these Scriptural facts and many sincere but unthinking Christian men and women are undertaking to support the Jews in their unlawful claims to a right to possess Palestine. The present Christian support of the false claims of the Zionists results from a failure to investigate the true nature of what is happening in the Holy Land as every Christian should since his own spiritual welfare is vitally concerned in this matter at this critical time in the world's history. Actually, Christians are assisting in the establishment of the Abomination That Maketh Desolate in their present support of Zionism.
Israel Revolts
Continuing the history of God's people from the time of the establishment of the Throne of David, when God selected his family out of the tribe of Judah to exercise kingly prerogatives, we find both the House of Judah and the House of Israel eventually united under King David.
The unity of this administration continued under David's son Solomon, but when Solomon's son Rehoboam came to the Throne, following the death of Solomon, he offended the House of Israel.
This precipitated the revolt of the House of Israel [10 tribes] from the rule of the House of David and they set up their own capital at Samaria.
From that day forward the House of Israel and the House of Judah remained separate and, because Rehoboam knew that the blessings of the Kingdom followed the sons of Joseph, who received the birthright, he realized that the kingdom had been separated from the House of David:
"And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? And we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house, So all Israel went to their tents...And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam." [64]
Kingdom Taken From David
The Lord sent word through a prophet to Rehoboam that he was not to make war against Israel, for the Lord declared that "this division was from Him."
The King obeyed and from then on only the tribe of Benjamin and House of Judah, with some Levites, remained loyal to the House of David up to the time of the captivities.
Thus was fulfilled the prophecy that Ahijah the Prophet made to Jeroboam concerning the Kingdom, which was to be taken from Solomon's son:
"But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee [Jeroboam], even ten tribes. And unto his son will I give one tribe [Benjamin], that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there." [65]
Benjamin Remained
Then tribes were given outright to Jeroboam but one Kingdom tribe [Benjamin] was to remain at Jerusalem for the time being. Benjamin, in the providence of God, elected to remain with the House of David and was numbered with the House of Judah until the time of the crucifixion of Christ. It was from this tribe, then called Galileans, that our Lord chose His disciples with the exception of the one who betrayed Him. With the crucifixion the brotherhood between Israel and Judah was broken as Zechariah had prophesied it would be when our Lord was sold for thirty pieces of silver [66].
The Galileans, or Benjamites, accepted the redemptive work of Jesus Christ and, having become Christians, carried the light westward to the Isles of the Sea. The House of David had already gone before them to the Isles by that time and, when the reunion of all the Kingdom tribes came about, Israel and the House of David in the Isles became acquainted with the word of redemption by Christ, Israel's Redeemer.
The Captivities
The House of Israel forsook the Lord and went into idolatry and for this reason God allowed them to be taken away into Assyrian captivity (740-720 B.C.). One hundred and thirty years later part of the House of Judah and part of the tribe of Benjamin were taken captive to Babylon (603-585 B.C.).
The House of Israel never returned to Palestine from the land of their captors, and after they were joined by the most of the Tribe of Benjamin [67] moved north and west from the land of Assyria in their trek toward the appointed place. Esdras speaks of this migration as follows:
"And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceful multitude unto him; Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land. But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt. That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land. And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow passages of the river. For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over. For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth. Then dwelt they there until the latter time." [68]
The Westward Trek
The latter days refer to the time following the birth and ministry of our Lord and, during the early period of the Christian era, Israel, then in central and Southern Europe, took up their westward trek again. Under different names we find the peoples moving ever westward toward the appointed place, as we have previously shown concern the appointed place. Under different names we find the peoples moving ever westward toward the appointed place. Their king had preceded them when the Royal line of David came to the Isles, Jeremiah being the agency, fulfilling his mission "to build and to plant" [69].
Thus, the following prophecy by Micah was fulfilled:
"I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them." [70]
Nathan the Prophet informed David of the Appointed Place for the throne when the Lord declared through him:
"Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more: neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime." [71]
Moses told their fathers that they would not remain long in the Promised Land, but would be driven from it to another land:
"When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of anything, and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger: I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it: Ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed [removed from it totally, unlike what our so-called Judeo-Christian preachers teach]. And the Lord shall scatter you among the heathen, whither the Lord shall lead you. And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all they heart and will all thy soul. When thou [Israel] art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days..." [72]
The Latter Days
When we remember that the latter days refer to the time designated in our calendar as A.D., i.e., in the year of our Lord, and that it was not until then that His disciples were able to bring the knowledge of redemption to the Isles, it is significant that Israel should resume their trek toward the Appointed Place during the early days of the Christian era.
This would bring them to the Isles in time to hear the early proclamation of the message of salvation and redemption and there also they found the king of the House of David awaiting their coming.
The House of Israel accepted Christianity and thus fulfilled the intentions of God as prophesied by Jeremiah:
"And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it. At the same time, saith the Lord, Will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest." [73]
Israel Christianized
Hosea's statement that in the latter days Israel would seek the Lord and David their King, together with Jeremiah's prophecy that they would find grace, the gift of our Lord and Savior, were fulfilled in the history of the House of Israel, the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic peoples, but never in the History of the Jews.
Isaiah refers to the difficulties and punishment which would be upon the Jews for their refusal to hearken to the Lord or accept the Messiahship of Jesus Christ.
He stated:
"Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called ye did not answer: when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein delighted not." [74]
One Would think the Christians would finally realize: All Missionary programs designed to take the White Man's Religion and his book ‑ The Holy Bible ‑ and his relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ to the non‑white races is pure blasphemy before Almighty God! Moreover, this is proven by the record of history which shows that [75] it has been tested and proven by centuries of historical development [the slaughter of the Missionaries recently by the blacks in Africa is what happens all too many times when White Men mistakenly take Christianity to them].
Christianity has been carried in the genes of the White Anglo‑ Saxons since his creation, almost six thousand years ago. Wherever the White Man has wondered over the earth, he has taken his book [his family history] the Holy Bible [the foundation of his faith] with him! With a study of history it will be found: Christianity thrives only in those areas of the world where the White Man lives. And to brand this presentation as Racist, as many will do, is only to deny the Truth being presented.
Christianity - Religion Of The West
The observed and verifiable facts of the world about us are not affected by religious faith or the lack of faith. Christians must find themselves in perfect agreement when they affirm that lead is more malleable than steel, that the earth is an oblate spheroid rotating on its axis, that whales are mammals, that Germany was defeated and devastated by the many nations allied against her in 1945, and that the Chinese are Mongolians. About such matters there can be no dispute among Christian men, who instinctively accept the reality of the world about us and cannot believe, as do many Orientals, that it is merely an illusion in the mind of a dreamer.
If we are to salvage and restore our civilization ‑ the Occidental culture that is peculiarly our own and that now seems to be disintegrating and rotting before our very eyes, we must do so as White Christian men, by observing reality objectively and by reasoning from it dispassionately. And when we try to compute what resources remain to us, we need first of all to determine the actual strength of the Christian Traditions at the present time. Just as in our study of Elijah.
West and Christianity Synonymous
It is a fact, which Christians will regard with satisfaction and some atheists may deplore, that Western Civilization in the sense that the great majority of the people belonging to it [Although never, at any time, all of them] believed implicitly in the truth of the Christian Religion. That religious unanimity was for a long time so nearly complete that, after the fall of the Roman Empire and the evanescence of hopes for its restoration, we White Christians of the West regarded our religion as the bond that united us and distinguished us from the rest of the human species.
During the Middle Ages, our Anglo‑Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian and Celtic ancestors occupied the greater part of Europe, and, until they discovered the American Continents, they lived only in Europe, but despite that geographical unity, they did not generally refer to themselves as the Europeans.
For all practical purposes, furthermore, our ancestors belonged to the same division of the White Race: they, like the True Greeks and the True Romans before them, were all members of the great race that we not call Indo‑European or Aryan, but they hand in their languages no word to designate their blood relationship and biological unity,
"...and thou [Israel ‑ the White Race] shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name." [76]
Isaiah again related:
"...and call his servants [Israel ‑ the White Race] By Another Name." [77]
Hosea also relates:
"...and they [Israel ‑ White Race] shall no more be remembered by their name." [78]
Thus, when they referred to the unity of which they were always conscious as something transcending the constantly shifting territorial and political divisions of Europe, they called themselves Christendom.
"For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth." [79]
And for many centuries that word was adequate and misled no one. For many centuries the West was Christendom and its White Civilization was indubitably Christian: that, whether you like it or not, is an historical fact. There is a complementary historical fact that was less obvious at the time and that even thoughtful men overlooked or tried to ignore until the events of the past few decades have made it indubitable: Christianity is a Religion of the West, and, for all practical purposes, only of the West.
It is not, as its polemical adversaries so often charge, a Semitic cult, for it is an adhesion of a considerable number of Semites, and it is not, as Christians once generally believed, a universal religion, for experience has now proven, Christianity cannot be successfully exported to populations that are not Indo-European.
Established Facts Are Undeniable
Experience has also proven that it does not do the slightest good to deny ascertained facts. The men of Classical antiquity knew, of course, that the earth was spherical, and Eratosthenes in the third century B.C. calculated its circumference as 24,663 miles. But the early Fathers of the Church, living in the age of growing ignorance that shrouded the last century of the Roman Empire, decided, on the basis of some statements in the Old Testament that the earth ought to be flat, or, at least, no more curved than a shield. Lactantius was the most eloquent and probably, therefore, the most influential of many who assiduously demanded that the earth be flat and so imposed on their contemporaries the conviction that it was.
In the Middle Ages, to be sure, there were some learned men, such as Buridan, who knew that the globe is a globe, but they, like Learned men today, know very well that talk about the Equality of The Races is Utter Nonsense, usually refrained from publicly denouncing fashionable delusions.
It was not until the Fifteenth Century that the truth became again inescapable, but when it did, the White Christians, being men of the West, who do not deny the lessons of experience, surrendered the comfortable error in which they had once generally believed; and since that time, no rational White Christian has doubted that the earth is spherical.
Western Civilization Unexportable
Today, as in the Fifteenth Century, Western men have had to discard a congenial assumption to bring their conception of the world into conformity with observed reality. So long as we of the West held unquestioned dominion over the whole earth, we permitted ourselves to assume that our civilization is general, and our religion in particular, could be exported and made universal. We did not sufficiently observe that talent for mimicry is common to all human beings and indeed to all anthropoids; that all human beings stand in awe of those who have power over them; and that a genius for dissimulation and hypocrisy is hereditary in the most intelligent of men.
Even with these oversights, the evidence against our assumption was fairly clear, but in the pride of our power we felt that we could indulge an assumption that was so congenial to the romantic generosity that is a peculiarity of our White Race. But the events of the past have shown us, beyond peradventure of doubt, the shape of the world in which we live. We now know what our prolonged missionary effort, cultural as well as religious, accomplished ‑ and how its visible effects were produced.
Transformation By Cannon
When Cortez and his small but valiant band of iron men conquered the teeming empire of the Aztecs, he was immediately followed by a train of earnest missionaries, chiefly Franciscans, who began to preach the Gospel to the natives and soon sent home, with naive enthusiasm, glowing accounts of the conversions they had effected. Their pious sincerity and innocent joy still lives in the pages of Father Shagun, Father Torquemada, and many others.
Far, far more persuasive than their sermons and their book had been the Spanish cannon that breached and shattered the Aztec defenses, and the ruthless Spanish soldiers who slew the Aztec priests at their altars and toppled the Aztec idols from the sacrificial pyramids. The Aztecs, Tepanecs, and other natives accepted Christianity, not because their hearts were touched by alien and incompre-hensible doctrines of love and mercy, but because it was the religion of the White Men whose bronze cannon and mailclad warriors were invincible.
Military Force - Not Love
That was early in the Sixteenth Century and even then there were not wanting indications that should have given pause to a critical mind, but we of the West went on repeating that fond mistake for four centuries, as the missionaries whom we sent to all parts of the world wrote home glowing reports of the number of "hearts" they had "won for Christ." It was only after our enemies' campaign of "anti‑colonialism" really got under way that most of us realized that what had won all those hearts was primarily the discipline of British regiments and the manifest power of the White Man.
We now know what happened. On many a shore of Africa, for example, missionaries eager to "win souls for Christ" ventured to land alone, and the aborigines, after mutilating and torturing them for a good communal laugh, ate them, cooked or raw according to the custom of the local cuisine. Usually, a few weeks or a few months later, a British cruiser hove to off shore and lobbed half a dozen 4.5 shells into the native village, and, if not pressed for time, landed half a company of marines to beat the bushes and drag out a dozen or so savages to hang on convenient trees.
Consequently the tribe, if not very obtuse, took the hint and respected the next bevy of missionaries as some how representing the god of thunder and lightning. And if the men of God distributed enough free rice and medical care with their sermons, they were able to make "converts," as the natives learned to utter the words that Christian Missionaries like to hear.
White Missionaries Murdered
That is, in essence, the whole history of "winning souls" among the heathens: the non‑white races of the world. There were, of course, many local variations. If the first missionaries were preceded by troops or White Settlers, the Blacks had already been convinced of the virtues of Christian rifles and had learned White Men should not be regarded as esculent comestibles. It often happened, however, that the natives, even after many years of preaching and conversion, rejected the White Man's odd rites very emphatically, and a fresh supply of missionaries were needed.
In 1905, for example, the Maji‑Maji conspiracy in Tangnyika murdered all the missionaries and almost all the White Men and White Women in the entire territory, and it required a German regiment and several companies of marines to restore the teaching of the Gospel. That was done by giving some forty or fifty thousand demonstrations that a Mauser bullet could penetrate even a Black hide that had been carefully anointed with the grease of a boiled baby. This same senerio still happens today in Africa. As can be seen by carefully watching the newspaper stories.
However, the Christian Missionaries did teach a ritual and often inculcated a superstition that had some superficial substance of Christianity, but they might as well have followed the example of St. Francis and preached sermons to the birds. That is why the many, many thousands of devoted Christians who expended their whole lives to "save souls" built only an edifice of cardboard and tinsel that is now gone in the wind.
Christianity Is Bewildering To Primitive Natives
What the vanishing of that flimsy facade has made obvious was predictable from the first. The religion of the West has Never been comprehensible to the rudimentary minds of the Congoids, Capoids, and Australoids: races so primitive that they were incapable of inventing a wheel and even of using one without supervision races that could not develop for themselves even the first and simplest preliminaries of a civilization.
Even though they pre‑dated the Adamic White Man by thousands of years. When the missionaries invented systems of writing the crude languages of the primitives, they had also to invent words to express such concepts as "God," "soul," "justice," "morality," and "religion" invent them by either creating new words or by perverting to such meanings sounds in the native jargons conveyed impressions that were faintly and remotely analogous.
That fact alone should have made us think. It was clear, furthermore, that the so‑called "converts" even those who had been most thoroughly imbued with an awe of the god of repeating rifles and locomotives, would conform to the White Man's morality only under coercion, and that whenever they escaped from the White Man's supervision they "always" spontaneously reverted, not only to their own mores, but also to whatever form of voodoo they had practiced before the White Man came.
Even if earlier experience had not been conclusive, what happened in Haiti at the very beginning of the Nineteenth Century should have removed the last lingering doubt. But the missionaries did not learn, and the "Ladies' Missionary Society" went on contributing their mites, plying their needles, and glowing with tender emotion for the sweet little savages depicted by their romantic imaginations.
Although it is true that in some places in the former colonial possessions missionaries are still tolerated, if they are obsequious to the natives and pay very well, we have at last learned that the Gospel follows the British regiments in the White Man's ignominious and insane retreat from the world that was his.
Jews Under A Curse
The Jews who are returning the Palestine are still under this condemnation for having rejected the Word of the Lord and having despised and crucified His Son. Contrary to the present teachings of Judeo-Christian leaders, they are not going to be able to accomplish the establishment of a permanent kingdom there.
Rather, they are gathering in the land of Palestine for the judgment that is coming upon them during the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord. Then it will be found that Isaiah's prediction will have come to pass in its entirety, for then they will be numbered for the sword and will bow down to slaughter, suffering violence just as the Irgun and Stern gangs, along with the Israeli army, have inflicted suffering and distress upon the inhabitants of the land.
