ISRAELITES IN NORTH-WEST EUROPE
In Search of... The Origin of Nations
Continued from previous page:
Denmark and sometimes with the Tuatha da Danaan of Irish
Tradition." 2301 [emphasis mine]
Whilst in Samaria, the house of Israel became known as the
"House of Omri" (1 Kings 16:23) or Beth-Omri and the Black
Obelisk of Shalmaneser 11, now in the British Museum, reveals the
Assyrian equivalent of "Omri" as Khumri and the "House of Omri"
as Bit-Khumri. This is the origin of the Babylonian title Gimiri.
Another authority, "The Ancient Records of Assyria and
Babylonia," gives further credence to this:
"The description 'Son of Khumri' is thought merely to show that
Jehu was an Israelite, because Israelite territory was called
'Bit-Khumri'" 2302
This is also confirmed in Hastings Dictionary of the Bible
which says:
"The Assyrians first became acquainted with Israel in the time of
Omri, and they called the country of the the Ten Tribes of Israel
'the land of the house of Omri' even after the extinction of his
dynasty." 2303
Yet a further authority, "The Old Testament in the Light of
Historical Records and Legends of Assyria and Babylonia" states
that:
"Omri was likewise pronounced in accordance with the older
system, before the grain became ayim. Humri shows that they said
at the time Ghomri". 2304
The name Saxons is also derived from Sacsons meaning Isaac's
sons. Also the words Scythian and Scot are derived from the
Hebrew Succoth which means a booth, tabernacle or temporary
dwelling.
According to the "Behistun Rock Inscriptions" the Gimiri
(Ghomri) were the same people as the Cimmerians, the Sacae and
the Scythians, who gave birth to the Cymri Celts, Saxons, Goths
and other peoples of North-Western Europe. Sharon Turner states
that:
"The Kimmerioi of the Greeks were the Kimbroi of the Greeks, and
the Cimbri (Kimbri) of the Latin writers". 2305
While Robert Owen in his historical work, "The Kymry"
expounds this reasoning further:
"In leaving the far east, they, the Kimmerians or Kymry must have
occupied a country south of the Caucasus, extending from the
river Araxes to the Palus Habotia or Sea of Azof, where Herodotus
remarks on the many places yet bearing the name of Kimmerian in
his time". 2306
This is exactly where the Israelites were exiled to by the
Assyrians! Another historian, Grant says that:

2304 Pinches 1902: 339. See Gawler "Our Scythian Ancestors" (page
6). In History of Herodotus (Bk. IV, Appendix, Note 1) we find
"Whether at the same time these Gimiri or Saka are really Cymirc
Celts we can not positively say ... But ... the Babylonian title
of Gimri, as applies to the Sacae, is not a vernacular but a
foreign title, and may simply mean the tribes."

"The Nordics also swept down through the Thrace into Greece and
Asia Minor, while other large and important groups entered Asia
partly through the Caucasus Mountains but in greater strength
they migrated around the northern and eastern sides of the
Caspian-Aral Sea". 2307
Again we see that the ancestors of the Anglo-Saxons and
Scandinavians migrated from exactly the same area that the
Israelites were deported to after the Assyrians invaded Israel.
The Israelites after their exile became known as the Scythians
around the northern shore of the Black Sea and the Sacae or Sakka
in the area of Persia. They came via the Danube, Central Europe,
Greece and the Baltic into Scandinavia, Britain and North-West
Europe after numerous different migrations. 2308
In History of the Anglo-Saxons Sharon Turner writes:
"The Anglo-Saxon, Lowland Scot, Normans, Danes have all sprung
from that great fountain of the human race which we have
distinguished by the term Skythian or Gothic... Sakai-Suna or the
Sons of Sakai, abbreviated into Saksun, which is the same sound
as Saxon, seems a reasonable etymology of the word 'Saxon'". 2309
According to "Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable":
"Scot (is) the same as Scythian in etymology; the root of both is
Sct. The Greeks had no c, and would change t into th making the
root skth, and by adding a phonetic vowel we get Skuthai
(Scythians), and Skodiai (Skoths). The Welsh disliked s at the
beginning of a word, and would change it to ys; they would also
change c or k to g, and th to d; whence the Welsh root would be
Ysgd, and Skuth or Skoth would become ysgod. Once more, the
Saxons would cut off the Welsh y, and change the g back again to
c, and the d to t, converting the Ysgod to Scot." 2310
This ties in nicely with intense research undertaken by Dr
David Law, Professor of Russian. In his work "From Samaria to
Samarkand - The Lost Tribes of Israel," he provides very powerful
arguments for Israelites migrating from south of the Caspian Sea
to Samarkand (a derivation of Samaria) in central Asia. The
Israelites were initially located in the Harhar province of
Persia and were protected by the Assyrian armies and governed by
them. There was little option for escape due to the presence of
the powerful army and other states in the area.
Within a few years of their exile to Harhar, history records
that uprisings occurred there which spread to neighbouring
provinces. Sargon, king of Assyria managed to suppress them, but
not Harhar. This permitted many Israelites to eventually move out
of the region into central Asia, Samarkand, Sogdiana in
particular. Here the peoples are recorded as portraying
similarities to the Israelites which he details. Later still many
of them were known as the Yueh-Chi, described everywhere as White
people of Nordish appearance. Nearby were the related Ta-hai or
Tocharians who are shown to be Keltic in physical type. 2311
"Like the Hebrews of ancient times, who called themselves "the
chosen people", the Yueh Chi, Tokharians, and Sogdians (known by
these names) referred to themselves as

2307 Grant 1923:214
2308 Cimmerians is merely a corruption of Samarians while Sacae
or Sakka is derived from the patriarch Isaac. According to Gawler
in his book "Our Scythian Ancestors": "The word Saacae is fairly
and without straining our imagination translatable as Isaacites."
2309 Turner: "History of the Anglo-Saxons": Vol.1, p.56,87

"the fair people." This term probably came from a religious
connotation, as did that of the Hebrews earlier, as well as from
their light skin color. In this way, the term applied to all
light-skinned people in contrast to the darker-skinned Turks, who
were coming on the world scene from the east at that time.
"The use of the Hebrew term implies a direct connection with the
Hebrew language, which the Sogdians knew from their Samarian
ancestors ...
"The above reference to the two branches of the Indo-European
language family, Iranic and Tokharian, is also significant. The
language of the Sogdians (Tokharians) was a Median dialect, which
the Israelites learned during their long stay in Media". 2312
"It is possible that some of the Samarians, who became citizens
of Parthia, moved with the Parthians into southern Iran" 2313
For those of you who have studied the Indo-European element
which was extant in ancient central Asia and who were knocking on
the doors of China, would know that they are described by the
Chinese themselves, historians, archaeologists and
anthropologists as 'Indo-European' or 'Aryan' - a Nordish-Keltic
physical type. Dr Law's superb book assists with this evaluation
and connection to the Israelites.
Many readers would also have been following the saga of the
fair-skinned Nordish-Keltic mummies found in central Asia and
China dating back to 2000-3000 BC. Books such as "The Mummies of
Urumchi" 2314 by Elizabeth Barber provide a wealth of
information for any serious researcher in this area.
To Barber's astonishment, some of the mummies were buried
with Scottish-type plaid fabric which she spends some time
discussing. They are so strikingly similar to Keltic tartans in
the patterns and weave. In fact, when the heads of the mummies
were scientifically reconstructed they found a face that is
remarkably similar to the Celts and also the Saxons. She
speculates (or is it speculation?) that migrant tribes from Iran
(where Israel was exiled) moved both westwards and eastwards,
taking with them their knowledge of many skills and technology,
including weaving and shepherding, later finding themselves in
far western China. Of course, she identifies these mummies with
the Yueh-Chi or Yuezhi and Tocharians or Tokharians. Concerning
their connection, she asks:
"if the Celts indeed came into Central Europe as miners seeking
metal ores, might the Tokharians have left the Caucasus area at
the same time for the same reason?" 2315
She claims that there were at least two such migrations
about 1,000 years apart. As many of these mummies clearly
pre-date Israel, they are therefore descendants of Arphaxad who
wondered eastwards, (possibly joined later by descendants of
Abraham through Keturah) and later still, certainly by
Israelites.
There are no Israelites there today, having either migrated
out or mixed in with the local population.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and with Communism
receding in China, we are and will have freer societies that will
be more open in research and publication in these subjects. At
least, they will be more open for a while, allowing us time to
find more proofs for this critical area of Biblical truth.
Similarities between Germanic and Hebrew
God prophesied in the Bible, "In Isaac your seed shall be
called" (Gen.21:12) and the Saxons or Sacasons are, in fact, the
sons of (I)saca from which the word Scythian originated. Yusifov
actually calls them the Cimmero-Scythians in his work "On the
Scythians in Mannea." 2316
John Wilson in his "Languages of Europe" states that:
"The basis of the English language may, to a remarkable extent,
be found in Hebrew. Many of our most common words, and names of
familiar objects, are almost pure Hebrew." 2317
The ancient Welsh language also has some similarities to the
Hebrew and has the same characteristic of almost being vowel-less
as is the Hebrew. The Scythian language indicates that the Scyths
were descendants of the Hebrew-speaking "Lost Ten Tribes". The
Scyths spoke Scythiac which is classified this way in the
authoritative linguistic work, "A New English Dictionary on
Historical Principles" (which later became known as the Oxford
English Dictionary):
"Scythiac ... Scythian (language) ... There is a strong
similarity between Hebrew and the Scythian languages". 2318
Other works bringing tremendous scholarship to the above are
"Similarities in Germanic and Hebrew" by Dr Terry Blodgett and
"The Word" by Isaac Mozeson (both of these works are a "must" to
read). Also linguist Theo Vennemann's short paper "Semitic -
Celtic - English: The Transitivity of Language Contact" is
interesting in this context. Another is "Lat. Sacena, Heb. Sakkin
and the Mediterranean Substrate" by Hannan Rosen.
The Scythians were nomads, dwelling mainly in tents from
which the word Scythian is derived. They raised crops, but their
main talent was in tending cattle, sheep, goats and especially
horses. They were acknowledged to have been the best horseman of
their day, and cavalrymen could not match their skill when it
came to fighting on horseback. 2319 These powerful, nomadic
tribes first appear in

2316 Yusifov 1982:349-356. In footnote 33 he states: "The mention
of the Cimmerians with the Scythians in the texts of Esarhaddon
in the region of Mannea and Media suggested to I.M. Diakonoff (IM
265) that the sources understood Scythians also under the name
Cimmerians." (page 356)
2317 Wilson, "Languages of Europe 1". Similar comments are made
in Cohane 1973:266
2318 Munay, "A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles,"
1971 ed.,Vol. VII, art.,"Scythiac"
2319 "The graves of Scythian kings and nobles revealed many
objects of gold and bronze, which bear witness to outstanding
technical and artistic skill" ("World History from Earliest Times
to 1800," Vol.3, p.320).
Raymond McNair makes these comments about archaeological proof of
the Israelite origins of the Scythians:
"Authentic gravestones have been found in the region of the
Crimea (or Krim--named after the Cimmerians), north of the Black
Sea, bearing Hebrew inscriptions. Three of note were referred to
by J.W.Bosanquet in his article, "Synchronous History," published
in the 1873 Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archaeology,
volume 2. One reads, "This is the tombstone of Buki, the son of
Izchak, the priest; may his rest be in Eden, at the time of the
salvation of Israel. In the year 702 of the years of our Exile."
The second states, "Rabbi Moses Levi died in the year 726 of our
Exile." And the third says, "Zadok, the Levite, son of Moses,
died 4000 after the creation, 785 of our exile."
......
the very same area that the Israelites were taken captive and
deported to 50 years earlier. The "Anchor Bible Dictionary" tells
us that:
"The Scythians ... apparently first appear in written history in
the annals of Esarhaddon (the Assyrian king from 681-668 B.C.)
and seem to be centred at that time in what is today Northwest
Iran". 2320
Northwest Iran is exactly where the Israelites settled -
south of the Caspian Sea! Surely all of these authorities cannot
be wrong about identifying where the Scythians and Cimmerians
originated?
Israel has been a great blessing on the world (Gen.12:3)
because of what they have contributed to civilisation in terms of
culture, technical inventions and many other achievements of
human endeavour. The descendants of ancient Israel from the
Cimmerians, Scythians, Parthians, Celts and Anglo-Saxons truly
have a most fascinating and profound history.
Most of Scotland, Ireland and Wales were populated by the
Celts who were descendants of Judah (Scots and their
descendants), Danites (Irish), Levites (Wales, Cornwall and
scattered) and Simeonites (parts of Scotland and scattered) while
England was settled by the Britons (Celts) prior to the Roman
occupation, many of who were evangelized by Joseph of Arimathea
and some of the apostles who were charged by Christ to preach to
the lost sheep of the House of Israel (Matt.10:6). In the fifth
and sixth centuries AD the Angles (Manassites) and the Saxons
(Ephraimites) crossed the English Channel from western Germany.
The Angles settled in the eastern Anglia counties such as Norfolk
and Suffolk. The Saxons settled the rest of England and pushed
the original Britons further west in England. By far the heaviest
concentration of people who migrated to America from England came
from the Anglia counties where the Angles had settled. God was
separating many people of the half-tribe of Manasseh from their
Ephraimite brothers. Oddly enough the Angles, whose descendants
compromise much of America's Anglo population, gave their name to
England which means "Angle-land". The word Angle is probably
derived from the Hebrew word "Eglah" meaning "Heifer of the wild
ox or unicorn", which is one of the animals on the British coat
of arms. Instead, England is primarily Saxon and Anglo-Americans
are descendants of the Angles.
......
Counting from an eighth century B.C. captivity, the years just
mentioned indicate that these people died around the beginning of
the Christian Era. Bosanquet says that, according to Neubauer's
"History of the Crimean Tombs" (p.29), the Israelites there
claimed "to be descended from the Ten Tribes." So, many
descendants of those Israelites who were deported to Assyria
still lived north of the Black Sea at this time.
How these people had gotten there is recorded in an amazing
epigraph found on another tombstone in this same region. Here is
C.Coffin's translation of A.E.Harkavy's German version (published
in Academia Scientiarum Imperialis Memoires, St. Petersburg, vol.
24, no. I, 1863, p.9):
I Jehuda ben Mose ha-Nagolon of the East country, ben Jehuda
ha-Gibbor of the tribe of Naphtali, of the generation Schillem,
who went into the exile with the exiles, who were driven away
with Hosea, the king of Israel, together with the tribes of
Simeon and Dan and some of the generations of the other tribes of
Israel, which (all) were led into exile by the enemy Shalmanesser
from Schomron [Samaria] and their cities to Chalach [Halah], that
is, Backack and to Chahar [Habor], that is, Chabul and to Hara,
that is, Herat, and to Gosan [Gosan], the cities of the exiled
tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half of Manasseh, which Pilneser
[Tiglath-Pileser] drove into exile and settled there (and from
there they scattered themselves over the whole land of the East
as far as Sinim)--when I returned from wandering in the land of
their exile and from journeying in the dwelling places of the
descendants of their generations in their resting places of the
Land of Krim [the Crimea]" (America and Britain in Prophecy,
p.42).

Raymond McNair makes these comments about how God kept track
of the Israelites and guided other Manassites still in northern
Germany to America:
"[In the Encyclopedia Britannica we read]: "There have been great
oscillations in the actual emigration by sea. It first exceeded
100,000 soon after the Franco-German War (1872, 126,000), and
this occurred again in the years 1880 to 1892. Germany lost
during these thirteen years more than 1,700,000 inhabitants by
emigration. The total number of those who sailed for the United
States from 1820 to 1900 may be estimated at more than 4,500,000
...
"The greater number of the more recent emigrants [to the U.S.]
was from the agricultural provinces of northern Germany--West
Prussia, Posen, Pomerania, Mecklenburg, Schleswig-Holstein and
Hanover, and sometimes the emigration reached 1% of the total
population of these provinces. In subsequent years the emigration
of native Germans greatly decreased" (11th ed., vol.11).
What is so special about northern Germany? Notice this
reference from Ripley's "Races of Europe":
"Northwestern Germany--Hanover, Schleswig-Holstein,
Westphalia--is distinctly allied to the physical type of the
Swedes, Norwegians, and Danes. All the remainder of the
Empire--no, not even excluding Prussia, east of the Elbe--is less
Teutonic [long-headed] in type; until finally in the essentially
Alpine broadheaded populations of Baden, Wurttemburg, and Bavaria
in the south, the Teutonic race passes from view" (p.214).
It is generally known that the northern "Low Germans" differ
from the southern "High Germans." But there were differences even
among the Low Germans. Another source comments:
"A separate study, in the case of Germany at least would seem to
indicate that those [immigrants] who went to the U.S.A. in the
1800s were somehow different from those who stayed behind and
German officials themselves remarked on such a difference. The
claim for such a distinction is based on consideration of
physical types, areas-of-origin within Germany, religious
orientation and social outlook" (Yair Davidy, "The Tribes,"
Russell-Davis Publishers, p.430). It seems America's Puritan
founders were indeed right in believing that God was sifting a
whole nation!" 2321
Many leaders of the United States have noted that it is the
Great God that has showered upon America tremendous blessings for
which we are neither grateful nor deserving. For instance, from a
Proclamation issued March 30th, 1863, for a national day of
fasting and prayer, Lincoln wrote:
"We have been recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We
have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity.
We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation
has ever grown; but we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the
gracious hand which preserves us in peace, and multiplied and
enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the
deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were
produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own."
While Ronald Reagan stated that "God brought a special
people from a land far away [British Isles] to populate America
and make it great to be a light to the world", and George Bush,
Jnr, during the 2000 AD Presidential election campaign said that

"our nation is chosen by God and commissioned by history to be a
model to the world."
Israel was to number at least in the tens of millions
(Gen.24:60). The bulk of them did not settle in the east, for
Asia is inhabited by the Oriental, Indian, Arabic and Russian
peoples. They did not go south into Africa or to Latin America.
Bible prophecy shows they went west (Isa.49:12; Hos.11:10; 12:1).
Given the historical proofs above and by the process of
elimination and deductive reasoning they must be located north
and west of Central Europe today.
We have only hit the TIP OF THE ICEBERG with all of these
powerful quotes on the origins of the Anglo-Saxon peoples. There
are VOLUMES of history and information that truly back up the
fact that the NW Europeans and the English-speaking peoples are
the genetic descendants from the very same Israelites that came
out from Egypt under Moses nearly 3500 years ago. A list of some
of the best works available on this subject are listed at the end
of this chapter.
Is the Throne of David still with us today?
David was a man after God's own heart (1 Sam.13:14). Because
he was a man with a tender conscience toward his Creator, God
made a separate and distinct covenant with him in addition to the
one He had made with Israel. When David wanted to build a house
for God, He sent a message to David through the prophet Nathan:
"When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I
will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body,
and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for My
name and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I
will be his Father and he shall be My son. If he commits
iniquity, I will chastise him with the rod of men and with the
blows of the sons of men. But My mercy shall not depart from him,
as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. And your
house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you.
YOUR THRONE SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOREVER" (2 Samuel 7:12-16).
This promise is again repeated in Psalm 89:
"I have make a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David
my servant, Your seed [dynasty - Moffatt] will I establish for
ever and build up your throne to all generations" (verses 3-4).
So far as the world knows the last king to sit on the throne
of David was Zedekiah of Judah when the Babylonians conquered
Judah and took them off captive to the land of Babylon about the
year 585 BC. The throne of David was never restored when the Jews
returned to the land of Palestine after their captivity.
God promised to David that his throne would last to all
generations or FOREVER. If God has not failed to keep His word we
need to look for David's throne (described as the throne of the
Eternal in (1 Chronicles 29:23) elsewhere than the land of
Palestine where the Jewish state of Israel is today.
When Judah was taking by Babylon into captivity
Nebuchadnezzar killed Zedekiah and all his sons (Jer.37:1-9),
seemingly destroying the royal dynasty. Former King Jeconiah
(Jehoiachin) was at that time, in the dungeons of Babylon and he
had sons to continue David's line. It was through his line of
descendants that Jesus Christ was born (Matt.1:12-16). God
decreed the following about Jeconiah:
"Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this man childless, a man that
shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall
prosper, SITTING UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID, AND RULING ANY MORE IN
JUDAH"! (Jer.22:30).
As far as the throne of David was concerned he was
childless. God had determined that none of his children would
ever occupy the throne. God's commission to the prophet Jeremiah
was to be:
"over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull
down, and to destroy and to throw down, to build, and to plant"
(Jer.1:10).
God would use him to help keep the royal line alive and
plant it in another land. Nebuchadnezzar did not kill the King
Zedekiah's daughters who escaped with Jeremiah (Jer.43:5-7, Isa.
37:32-33). It would be through one of the daughters of Zedekiah
that God would keep the throne of David alive. What land did God
lead them to? In Ezekiel 17 God says:
"I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and
will set it; I will crop it from the top of his young twigs a
tender one [a daughter] and will plant it upon a high mountain
and eminent. In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant
it and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit (verses
22-23).
God directed them to northwest Europe (Isa.49:12) to where
the House of Israel had migrated to.
From time-to-time, information comes out on how some members
of the British royal family have believed in their descent from
David. Prince Charles for instance has stated such. Contender for
the Scottish Throne, His Royal Highness, Prince Michael of
Albany, head of the Royal House of Stewart has actually written
such in his recent eye-opening work, "The Forgotten Monarchy of
Scotland":
"Scotland's royal heritage is the oldest in Europe, and it can be
traced back well into the BC era. The legacy of the Scots kings
was hewn on the Stone of Destiny, the venerated relic of the
Beth-el Covenant (Genesis 28:18-22) ... the Royal House of
Dalriada, through which all Kings of Scots traced their
succession from the biblical Kings of Judah, from the Princes of
Greater Scythia ... many regarded the Stewards as their Biblical
kings. Prior to becoming High Stewards of Scotland, the Stewarts'
maternal forebears were Seneschals in Brittany, and they were of
the same ancestral stock as the earlier Merovingian Kings of the
Franks, in descent from the ancient Royal House of Judah." 2322
......
2322 Prince Michael, 2000:12,70,198-99 (the Stone of Destiny is
also mentioned on pages 55,63,78,290-92)
Like Prince Michael, most of the kings of England and Scotland
have been anti-Catholic Masons. A minority belief amongst some of
these key Masons has been the belief that they inherited the
throne of David which was transferred to Britain. You can find
this information in Algernon Herbert's "Britannica After the
Romans." Also, the very old Masonic work "Irish Prince and Hebrew
Prophet," Masonic Publishing Company, Bleecker Street, New York
City, also makes reference to a Hebrew prophet (Jeremiah) (see
chapters 5,11, and 12). One eye-opening work on the Israelite
identity of the British peoples is "The New Jerusalem" by Adrian
Gilbert. Gilbert demonstrates that some Masons have had an
interest in this great truth: "the British Israel legacy lies
only just below the surface [of London]. You do not have to
travel far in London to see a stone lion or some other monument
to an all but forgotten vision: an empire founded on the Bible
preparing the way for the Messiah. It is not a bad legacy ..."
(page 264).
Of course, there are Masons and Masons - they are divided into
various competing factions and groups. The US founding fathers
were predominantly deists and Masons linked to anti-RCC
protestants. Their power and influence has shrunk during the last
30 years as agnostics, new agers and other circles gain the
ascendancy. Most US Presidents were Masons (apparently Reagan and
Clinton were exceptions). Truly, our leaders have mixed paganism
with truth.
......
Prince Michael's work is a derivative of the Israel identity
truth, although he mixes in other ideas not historically
accurate. Nevertheless, at least he is one member of royalty
willing to be open in his beliefs instead of keeping it secretly
guarded.
Another work well worth studying is Professor Megalommitis'
paper "Elizabeth II on the Throne of David and Solomon",
published in "Origin of Nations" magazine (details at the end of
this chapter).
Although various royal lines are jealous of each other and
in continuous contention, when Christ returns He shall take over
the throne of David that God has continued to preserve since the
days of His promise to King David (Luke 1:32, Gen.49:10) and all
contention will cease.
Israel's new homeland
As we have seen, many clues persist to Israel's migrations
from the shores of the Caspian Sea through the Caucasus region
into Europe. It was during this time that the children of Israel
were to "abide many days without a king" (Hosea 3:4). They sifted
through the nations while maintaining their distinctive ethnic
characteristics. God roars:
"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". (2
Sam 7:10; 2 Chron 17:9)
This passage proves that Israel were to migrate to a new
land, far away from their original occupation of the Holy Land.
They were removed from their homeland, lost their identity, were
virtually unrecognisable for whom they really were by others, did
not have a king for some time, trekked great distances and
finally established roots in territories a great distance from
the Middle East.
But where exactly? Where are the descendants of Arphaxad
located? Wouldn't it be logical that Israel would reside in
proximity to other descendants of Arphaxad and Aram, given their
ethnic relationship?
The prophet Jeremiah locates Israel in the north (Jer
3:11-12) while Hosea mentions Ephraim, son of Joseph as following
the east wind (the east wind travels west) (Hos 12:1. See also
11:8,19).
Which people are today north and west of the Holy Land and
fulfil the birthright blessings of Israel and who are of the same
physical type as Arphaxad? Clearly these are the
Anglo-Saxon-Keltic-Nordic peoples resident in northwest Europe.
Here resides the modern-day descendants of Israel - this is a
momentous and thrilling truth - regardless of one's ethnic
origin.
Today, there is a huge amount of data providing undeniable
evidence for this most important and crucial truth. Some of the
chief research on the subject are listed at the end of this
chapter. These works by world class scholars prove conclusively
that the Anglo-Saxons, Kelts, Scandinavians, northern French and
western Swiss, Holland and northern Belgium are the direct
genetic descendants of Israel.
Evidence includes:
* Heraldry and symbols
* Traditions
* Ethnicity and human anthropology
* National personalities and characteristics
* Comparing the promised blessings to Israel and those that the
north-western Europeans have inherited
* Language
* Names of tribes
You would recall from chapter eleven that the descendants of
Arphaxad and Aram were Nordish in ethnic type, which includes the
peoples of north-west Europe.
But certain north-western European nations cannot be found
under any descendant of Arphaxad with the exception of Israel.
The Anglo-Saxon-Keltic-Nordic peoples are directly genetically
closely related and are of the same human family. The nations
descended from Israel therefore are:
* Irish
* Scottish
* Welsh and Cornish
* English
* Western Swiss
* Northern French
* Northern Belgians
* Dutch
* Danish
* Swedish
* Norwegians
* Western Finns
* Plus the above's descendants all over the world, but
particularly in North America, Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa.
The peoples comprising the central and southern French,
southern Belgians, central and eastern Swiss, and eastern Finns
are not Israelites and have been identified in previous chapters
to this book.
But there is no doubt that many famous people have know, at
least in part, the British links to ancient Israel. In 1320 AD,
King Robert the Bruce wrote the Scottish Declaration of
Independence which includes the following eye-opening statement:
"The nation of the Scots has been distinguished by many honours,
which passing from greater Scythia through the Mediterranean Sea
and through the Pillars of Hercules, and sojourning in Spain,
amongst the most savage tribes through a long course of time,
could nowhere be subjugated by any people, however barbarous, and
coming thence 1200 years after the outgoings of the people of
Israel they, by their many victories and infinite toil, acquired
for themselves the possessions in the west which they now hold."
Other prominent personalities also spoke of the Scots and
English have Israelitish descent. For instance, Sir Francis
Drake, writing to his old friend, John Foxe in 1588 stated:
"Wherefore I shall desire you to continue faithful remembrance of
us in your prayers, that our purpose may take good effect, as God
may be glorified, His church, our Queen and country preserved,
and the enemies of truth utterly extinguished, that we may have
continued peace in Israel."
And to cap it all off, perhaps it should not be a great
surprise to understand what the name Britain really means. The
Hebrew word for covenant is 'berith' or 'beriyth'. While the
Hebrew word for man is 'ish' or 'iysh'. In Judges 8:33 the word
for covenant is coupled with Baal to mean "idol of the covenant".
Thus, the English pronouncement of the Hebrew 'berith-ish' is
'British.' In other words the British are the people of the
covenant or covenant man - a concept carried down the generations
from Shem and Arphaxad.
Finally, many people don't realise that a peak Jewish body
in the USA, the 'United Israel World Union', believes that the
Anglo-Saxon-Kelts are the 'lost' tribes of Israel. 2323
Its Constitution and By-Laws state the following under
Article III, Objects and Purposes:
"Section 1. The objects and purposes of UNITED ISRAEL WORLD
UNION, Inc, are: To reawaken the lost tribes of Israel to
consciousness of their true identity; to bring this about by
means of conveying to them true knowledge of the Bible and
history, particularly by publications dealing with the identity
of Israel; to re-unite the lost tribes (i.e. people of
Anglo-Saxon-Celtic, American, and kindred origin) with Judah, by
means of inculcating original Biblical truths, through
publications and lectures ..."
Given the Jewish involvement with this truth and research
undertaken by various rabbis, Yair Davidy, John Hulley, Yaacov
Levi and others, it cannot be labelled as a 'racist' doctrine.
Except that some have perverted it, like all doctrines have been
perverted at some time.
Israel and the Kingdom of God
In their new homelands, the tribes of Israel gradually
forged prosperous and great nations, in particular the British
and Americans.
As a tiny mustard seed which grows into a large tree, the
Kingdom of God, ruled by Christ and His bride, through Israel,
will dominate the world. Commencing with the first British Empire
under Elizabeth I until the American War of Independence and
later through the second British Empire and now the American
economic 'empire', Israel has been growing in dominance, albeit
imperfectly, but certainly light years ahead of any other empire
ever in world history.
Israel's growing dominance, in many ways pictures her
Millennial role. Like a mustard seed growing into a great tree,
so Israel is expanding its power across the globe. This does not
mean that everything it does is perfect of course, but that it
does a much better job than other powers.
According to the prophecies, God will teach Israel lessons -
to become strong, righteous leaders - through humiliation and
cleansing. This will bear the fruits of righteousness and
character.
Many scriptures refer to their coming re-entry of Israel
into the Promised Land, under Christ, the Messiah (see the list
of references in the footnotes 2324).

......
During this time, Israel and Judah will, at last, be united.
2325
Jer 31:6 For there shall be a day that the watchmen on Mount
Ephraim shall cry, Arise and let us go up to Zion to Jehovah our
God!
Jer 31:7 For so says Jehovah, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and
shout among the chief of the nations. Cry out, give praise and
say, O Jehovah, save Your people, the remnant of Israel.
Jer 31:8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country and
gather them from the corners of the earth, and with them the
blind and the lame, the woman with child and she who is in labor
with child, together; a great company shall return there.
Jer 31:9 They shall come with weeping, and with prayers I will
lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a
straight way; they shall not stumble in it, for I am a father to
Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn.
Jer 31:10 Hear the Word of Jehovah, O nations, and declare it in
the coastlands afar off. And say, He who scattered Israel will
gather him and keep him, as a shepherd keeps his flock.
In Dan 9:27 we find indication that Christ has 3 and 1/2
years of His ministry to complete. As He was sent to the lost
sheep of the House of Israel, it figures that He will complete
His ministry to them. Why? Because it is through Israel that
Christ and the children of God will rule and reign.
(A VERY WRONG WAY TO UNDERSTAND DANIEL 9:27 - A WAY THAT HAS BEEN
ADOPTED BY MANY CoG ORGANIZATIONS - IT IS FROM THE FUNDAMENTAL
PROPHETS THAT SUCH A FALSE TEACHING COMES - Keith Hunt)
First, the rebels must be purged out who have led Israel
astray (Ezek 20:33-38; Joel 3:20-21) and God will then propose a
New marriage Covenant with them. In the Bible, when God set
something back on track, He first cleansed the Priests followed
by the Levites (see Malachi 3:2-6). Due to its senior position,
Judah would have to be cleaned up at the outset as well:
"Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto
the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years" (Mal
3:4. See also Ezek 44:10-12; 48:11). Levi will be the tribe
carrying out religious duties such as the religious teachers,
ministers, executers of the Law as well as probably being the
judges.
After her cleansing, Israel will be led into the Holy Land
to complete her training, to re-colonise and rule the world (Hos
2:23; Zech 10:9).
(ISRAEL AND JUDAH WILL NOT BE CLEANSED PER SE UNTIL THEY RE-ENTER
THE HOLY LAND. THEY WILL REPENT AS JESUS COMES TO REGATHER THEM,
BUT CLEANSING AND BUILDING THE EZEKIEL TEMPLE WILL HAPPEN DURING
THE FIRST YEARS OF CHRIST'S REIGN ON EARTH - Keith Hunt)
If the above analysis of scripture is correct, then we may
find the following occurring at the outset of the Millennium,
after the Day of the Lord:
1. a wilderness wandering wherein the rebels are purged (The
rebels will have already been purged by the time Jesus comes -
Keith Hunt)
2. re-entry into the Holy Land
3. further cleansing of the princes, Judah, Priests and Levites
(in accordance with the principles of the Older Testament. See
2 Chron 29:1-5,15-16,34; 30:1)
4. cleansing then follows on to Ephraim and Manasseh (30:1-3)
5. the rest of Israel will then be cleansed
6. the New Covenant will be made after this cleansing (possibly
including water baptism)
7. Israel will take certain nations into servitude, at least for
a while. Gradually, Christ will bring the rest of the world
under Him through the children of God and Israel
(The spiritual cleansing of Israel will take place during the
Great Tribulation - the people will see their sins and wickedness
as to why they are being punished, to bring them to repentance.
What goes on after they return to the holy land is what Ezekiel
tells us in his chapters 40 to 48 - Keith Hunt)
