TRACING OUR ANCESTORS #18
Chapter XIII
THE UNITED STATES IN PROPHECY
In the preceding chapters I have collected what evidence I
could gather and present in condensed form in these pages
concerning the origin of the Celtic and Anglo-Saxon race, who
were the builders of the American Republic. Their origin has been
shrouded in mystery all these years and still is a mystery to the
people at large, so much so that it is received with hostility
and ridicule by our educators and clergy. Perhaps this is not
strange; every great advance in thought has been fiercely
contested by the upholders of the old concepts. Every advance and
reformation has been a revolution and the greatest revolution in
the history of mankind has just begun. The belief that the Jews
represent ancient Israel can not be shaken in a year or two; yet
it is that false conception that has almost destroyed the value
and significance of the Old Testament to us......
Since the Reformation, orthodox theology has stood almost
still as far as the exegesis of the Old Testament is concerned
and during the last 150 years had to stand by helplessly watching
the higher critics pick the Old Book to pieces. With the
exception of the scholars of the Historicity School of Prophecy,
the Fundamentalists have added practically nothing to their
understanding of the Old Testament. During the last century
inquisitive scholars have subjected the Scriptures to a searching
criticism, which became more hostile as the evolutionary
hypothesis began to occupy the minds of men; and a serious rift
between the defenders of the Old Book and its critics developed
and widened every year, until today faith in the Bible as the
Word of God has been mostly destroyed in the minds of our college
bred classes.
What have the Fundamentalists done of the Bible? Practically
nothing. What could they do but say: "The Bible says it."
Historical proofs they could not furnish. With the exception of
so, and we believe anti-evolutionary arguments defending Genesis
and some arguments concerning the Book of Daniel, orthodoxy has
done little or nothing to counteract the destructive arguments of
the critics. Nine out of every ten commentaries on the Old
Testament existing have been written from the higher critical
viewpoint, and the Fundamentalist authors of the few orthodox
commentaries had to take refuge in spiritualizing what they could
not explain any other way. No greater admission on the part of
the orthodox groups that they do not understand the Old Testament
can be found than in our Sunday School lessons. The board who
composes those lessons walks through the Old Testament with
"seven league boots" so to speak, merely touching a chapter or
even only a few passages of each book here and there; and many
Sunday School scholars have wondered, as the author used to do,
what about the other 99 per cent that we are skipping over? Is
that mystery or mythology? But our Sunday School Board could not
teach what they did not know themselves and the only thing they
could do with those mysterious chapters was to leave them
severely alone.
The Old Testament indeed is nothing else but legends, if we
assume that the people of Israel are the Jews; and we we cannot
blame tie modern critics for condemnmg it as as Jewesh mythology.
Many of the critics from Thomas Paine to Robert Ingersoll and
Prof. Driver of Oxford have challenged ortododoxy to prove to
them where, when, and how the glorious promises which Jehova made
to His Chosen People been fulfilled in the Jews, and the
fundamentalists have been unable to furnish those proofs.
THE CHURCH?
Thousands of sermons have been preached on the Birthright,
on the characters of Esau and Jacob, and how the latter obtained
the Birthright deceitfully from his brother; but all that our
good friends the preachers, orthodox and modernist, have been
able to tell us is that the Birthright pertained to spiritual
blessings. Let us examine this question for a moment. If Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob were Jews, as our theologians tell us, then
those supposed spiritual blessings of the Birthright do in no
wise belong to us but only to the Jews; neither can those
blessings be transmuted to a Gentile Church, for Jacob committed
a very unchristian act in the way he obtained the Birthright from
his hungry brother.
The Church has always been in Israel, both in Old as well as
New Testament times, and still is; all the Apostles, with the
exception of Judas, who was a Jew, were Israelites, and so have
been most of the Church fathers. The first Church in Europe was
started in 37 A.D. in Glastonbury, England, as has already been
told in Chapter XI. When St.Paul went to Rome in 66 A.D., he
found there already a group of Christians, who had come from
England. A "Gentile Church," of which we, hear so much, does not
exist nor ever did exist in our land. Our theologians are merely
repeating that phrase without examining the case. Most of the
Epistles are addressed to the twelve tribes "scattered abroad."
The Epistle to the Hebrews should make that fact plain, both in
title and text.
There is no equivalent in Greek for our term "Gentile." It
is an English word and found in no other language. Gentile is
derived from the Latin "gens," meaning "tribes." Paul said "I am
an apostle to the ethnos," meaning "nations" or "tribes," and
meant in this case the tribes of Israel. In general however, the
word ethnos is translated "heathen." As a "heathen church" would
be an absurdity, it becomes obvious that the term "Gentile
Church" is a misnomer. For further discussion of this
all-important subject I refer the reader to my "Destinies of
Israel and Judah."
The early Churches founded by the Apostles in the East have
developed into the Latin, Greek, Armenian, and Coptic churches,
and as such could be termed "Gentile" in the sense that we
understand it; but the Protestant Church and its various forms
has since the Reformation been in Israel, the Anglo-Saxon
nations.
THE BIRTHRIGHT
However let us turn to the Birthright. For want of space we
can quote only a few references concerning it. For the Lord said:
"Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; seeing that
Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all
the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?" Genesis 18:
17-18.
"By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou bast
done this thing, and bast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will
multply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand
which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate
of his enemies; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the
earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice." --Genesis
22:16-18. Genisis 22: 16-18.
"And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt
spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and
to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families
of the earth be blessed. And, behold, I am with thee, and will
keep thee in all paces whither thou goest, and will bring thee
again into this land; for will not leave thee, until I have done
that which I have spoken to thee of." --Genesis 28:14-15.
"And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall be
called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he
called his name Israel. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty:
fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be
thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins." --Genesis 35:
10-11.
A more detailed discussion of those promises the reader will
find in my "Destinies of Israel and Judah."
If the earnest reader pays attention to those passages, then
he or she find that they cannot be applied to the Jews and in
fact were not intended for them, but belonged to the Covenant
Race, the British or Saxon race, the sons of Isaac as found in
the Celtic, Saxon, and Nordic races of the British Empire,
Northern Europe, and the United States of America. It is Great
Britain and America that hold the gates, the stragetic points, as
for instance: Gibraltar, Malta, Suez, Aden, Singapore,
Hongkong, Cape of Good Hope, the Falkland Islands, the Panama
Canal, Hawaii, and the Philippines. There has been only one
company of nations - the Anglo-Saxon nations.
These facts are crying aloud for recognition and if we can
see in them the fulfilment of God's glorious promises to our
ancestors, then the Old Bible becomes a New Book to us for we
find in its Promises and Prophecies the title deeds of Anglo-
Saxon world supremacy and leadership, a hegemony that we have
almost lost, for we never knew where it came from and we have
never given God the due credit for it. The Mosiac Law is the
basis of our Common Law as divergent from the Civil Law of
Europe, and if we had kept close to the Ten Commandments, then we
would not be in the fix we are in today. A valuable exposition of
this Law question the interested reader will find in "The Law of
the Lord, the Common Law" by the Pascoe Goard.
A NATION AND COMPANY OF NATIONS
But let us now turn to Genesis 48:15-20 and note how the
dying Jacob transferred the Birthright blessing to the sons of
Joseph and not to the sons of Judah, from whom the Jews and
Christ descend.
"And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, fore whom my fathers
Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long
unto this day, the Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless
the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my
fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in
the midst of the earth. And when Joseph saw that his father laid
his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and
he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head
unto Manasseh's head. And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my
father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his
head. 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 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."
Although Manasseh was the older of the two, yet the chief
blessing was given to the younger - Ephraim - that he should
become a multitude of nations. We have seen that story recited
perhaps in some Bible story books or perhaps in some Bible
pageants, but we have never heard it explained from our pulpits,
orthodox or modernist. Our preachers never studied this question
in their seminaries and therefore know nothing about it; and if
you wish to fall from your pastor's grace, Reader, then press him
to explain those passages. Need we wonder, then, that the critics
tell us that all that stuff is "Jewish mythology," when no
preacher can explain it, either Fundamentalist or Modernist.
And, coming to the point, if the British Empire and its
commonwealth of nations, including our Republic, does not answer
to that multitude of nations, then there is no other group of
nations that has ever "filled the bill," and all these stories
are indeed what the critics claim they are - Jewish traditions.
Turning to the 49th chanter of Genesis, we read in verses
22-26:
PHYSICAL BLESSINGS
"Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well;
whose branches run over the wall: the archers have sorely grieved
him, and shot at him, and hated him: but his bow abode in
strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands
of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd of the
stone of Israel:) Even by the God of thy father, who shall help
thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of
heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings
of the breasts, and of the womb: the blessings of thy father have
prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost
bounds of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of
Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate
from his brethren."
If those verse mean anything to you, reader, then what do they
tell? "Blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep ... of
the breasts, and of the womb." As Christ came of the line of
Judah then those blessings cannot be spiritual but are material,
of rich harvests, of mineral resources, and of numerical
increase; as the sands upon the seashore. "Unto the utmost bounds
of the everlasting hills."
Who has inherited the richest mine and oil lands, and
boundless wheat lands of the temperate zone in Northern Europe,
North America, South Africa, an Australia, but the Anglo-Saxon
race.
Don't the facts stare you in the face?
However, it is a fact that facts always precede any theories
formulated about them, and people argue for years on verities
which only needed recognition, as for instance, the movement of
the earth around the sun; yet when Copernicus had observed it and
taught it he was ridiculed by his age, and particularly by the
theologians. All that we need today is a a right slant on the
Bible so we may see in its pages our history pre-written; for
history is His Story.
Once more we find the Birthright blessings confirmed upon
the sons of Joseph by Moses in the 33rd chapter of Deuteronomy,
verses 13-16:
"And of Joseph he said, Messed of the Lord be his land, or the
precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that
couchette 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 fulness thereof, and for the good will of him
that dwelt in the bush: let the blessings come upon the head of
Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated
from his brethren."
If our orthodox friends have any faith in these promises,
then I must ask them, where do they think that Joseph s' land
is located?
It cannot be old Palestine nor the new Palestine, for God's
promise in Genesis 28:15 is that these blessings shall come
before Israel's return to Palestine; and I trust that our
Fundamentalist friends won't try and tell us that Joseph's land
is in heaven.
"For the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the
precious things of the lasting hills." Those promises can only
apply to that vast mineral oil, forest, stream, and agricultural
wealth of North America and the British Empire. God has promised
them to our father Joseph, and we have inherited them without
giving God the credit for this rich heritage; instead we have
taken that heritage and it has now become a curse to us, for most
of our people used that heritage for the amassing of gold and not
for the blessing of their fellowmen.
The great question that confronts us is: Can we blame our
theologians for their blindness and failure to interpret God's
promise to us, or is this part of Israel's blindness, "until the
fulness of the Gentiles (nations) be come in," as Paul stated in
Romans 11:25?
Joseph was separate from his brethren, as the passage just
quoted states.
"His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns
are like the horns of unicornd: 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."
We have already seen in Chapter XI that it was the
Asa or Angles who wore the horns of the bull as headdress when
they invaded Germany and Britain and thus fulfilled their
Divinely appointed destiny as the leaders of the Celtic-Saxon
race. Hence England is called John Bull, and one of the symbols
on her coat of arms is a Unicorn, which symbol we also find in
the ancient rock carving of the Sachi in India, as shown on our
frontispiece.
According to accurate chronology, as fixed by Mr.Davidson in
his "Early Egypt, Babylonia, and Central Asia" and shown in
simple form in my "Coordinated Chronology of Israel and Egypt,"
the entry of Jacob into Egypt took place in 1702 B.C., during the
reign of Thothmes III of the 7th Dynasty. It was during his reign
that the famine occurred at which time Joseph became the Prime
Minister of Pharaoh. Joseph married Asenath, the daughter of
Potipherah, a priest of the Temple of On in ancient Memphis.
It was there that Joseph was governor and saved up the grain for
the coming famine. There, in the public square of Memphis, stood
two obelisks, and there are no other two obelisks in the world
like them. Where are those two obelisks today?
One of them is Cleopatra's Needle, standing on the Thames
Embankment in London; and the other stands in Central Park, New
York City. It was presented by Ismael, Khedive of Egypt, to the
United States and brought to New York by Mr.H.C.Vanderbilt in
1880, (See Plate XXVI.)
Thirtysix centuries ago Joseph's children, Ephraim and
Manasseh, played arounbd those two obelisks in ancient Memphis,
the capital city of Egypt; and today those two monuments are
standing in the metropolitan centers of the two great nations,
Ephraim and Manasseh, which still hold the Birthright of the
children of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. There is no more
touching story in the Old Testament than the story of Joseph
and his brethren and how he recognized and forgave them when he
had come to power. That story has thrilled the hearts of millions
of Anglo-Saxon Bible readers, but how much more would it thrill
them if they knew that Joseph was our grandsire and that those
two obelisks were silent witnesses of the calling of our race to
world leadership and Christian service.
"When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance,
when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the
people according to the number of the children of Israel, For the
Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his
inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste
howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept
him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest,
fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh
them, beareth them on her wings; so the Lord alone did lead him,
and there was no strange god with him. He made him ride on the
high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the
fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil
out of the flinty rock ... Of the Rock that begat thee thou
are unmindful, and bast forgotten God that formed thee ... O
that they were wisp that they understood this, that they would
consider their latter end!" Deut.32:8-13,18,29.
How faithfully Jehovah has kept His promise to His people.
He has set us upon the high places of the earth. He gave us the
richest increase of the fields. He allowed us to suck oil out of
the rock, and how little we have appreciated His blessings; our
preachers never told much we really owe to God and to His
promises.
We have already seen in Chapters V and VI that the symbols
of the Barat-Phoenicians, Israel, were the Sun, the Cross, an
Eagle (the Phoenix), and a Woman (Barati or Britannia), and if we
now turn to the twelfth chapter of Revelation we find these same
symbols used again:
"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven: a woman
clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her
head a crown of twelve stars (the twelve tribes of Israel) ...
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations
with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to
His throne ......
