The sojourn and migration of the tribes has left abundant traces everywhere. For example, hundreds of Scythian burial monuments from the area between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea have been documented
American Journal of Archaeology 1914, Vol. XVIII

In the Crimea, one of these tombs (tumuli) contains a manuscript that reads:

"This is the tombstone of Buki, the son of the priest Itchak; may he find peace in Eden, at the time of the redemption of Israel. In the year 702 of the years of our exile."

The tomb therefore probably dates from the second or third decade before the birth of Christ. The fact that the Israelites made a stopover in the region of present-day Ukraine, the fertile area north of the Black Sea, also appears to be indicated in an apocryphal scripture,

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 places 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. 4 Ezra 13:40-45

The Hebrew word "'erets 'achereth" is not a well-known geographical name today, but means "other land". The Crimea was also inhabited by Israelites. The Greeks called the Kerch Strait the "Cimmerian Bosporus". The region north of the Black Sea, which was home to the tribes of Israel from the 7th to 3rd century BCE, was called Scythia at this time: the land of the Scythians. The whole of Central and Northern Europe was colonized from Scythia. In his letter to the Colossians, St. Paul, who exclusively proselytized members of the 10 tribes, calls the Scythians

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Col 3:11

The Romans gave the Scythians the name "Germanic"
William Camdon 1610

Scythians who went from German regions to England were called Anglo-Saxons. Danes and Vikings were Scythians who came to Scandinavia via Jutland. Some of them later moved to Normandy and then invaded England as Normans. The Romans were also familiar with the Germanic tribal name "Cimmerians" in the form cimbri teutonique, which is common in German as "Kimbern und Teutonen". The reference to the Cimmerians south of the Caucasus is given
Tacitus, Germania, Ch.37


Elsewhere, Tacitus describes the Germanic tribes as a people who did not intermarry with foreign ethnic groups, just as G-d had commanded Israel
Germania, Ch.4

And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of G-d, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding; They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in G-d's law, which was given by Moses the servant of G-d, and to observe and do all the commandments of the Lord our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes; And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, not take their daughters for our sons: Neh 10:28-30



To this day, the Scots preserve the story of their Scythian origins in the most famous document of Scottish history, the Declaration of Arbroath


This declaration was written in 1320. It contains the statement that the Scots

journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea... Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea [approx. 250 BCE], to their home in the west where they still live today.


The original of this ancient document, described by many as "Scotland's most prized possession", is on display in a glass case in the Registry House in Edinburgh. The seals of the 25 signatory noblemen are attached to the parchment.

If the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt is dated to around 1350 BCE, then the journey from Spain to Scotland took place in the 2nd century BCE.

Art objects and surviving written documents give the impression that white people made a decisive contribution to the high cultural status of the ancient Greek world and the Roman Empire. The portraits and statues of ancient Greek and Roman statesmen and philosophers also bear witness to this. Many representatives of the Roman upper class were of Celtic and Germanic origin. The Celts and Germanic tribes in turn came from the Scythian region north of the Black Sea. During the Renaissance, too, there were many people of Nordic origin in the upper classes and among artists and scientists in northern Italy. The continuing interest of the educated classes of Europe in classical Greek (and also Roman) culture and science is an indication of the essential affinity between the people of the two cultural areas, which is not surprising when identical ethnic groups are involved.

In addition to the German dialects, the Germanic language family of Central and Northern Europeans includes Frisian, Flemish, English, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, formerly also Gothic, Anglo-Saxon, etc. These languages have characteristics (sound shift, gemination) that are otherwise only found in Hebrew. There is also much lexical agreement between the Germanic languages and Hebrew. All this indicates that the Germanic language family has its origins in Hebrew
Terry Marvin Blodgett 1981

The English language is a Germanic language originally native to England and belongs to the West Germanic branch. Linguistic research into the Germanic languages shows a strong connection to ancient Hebrew. The Phoenicians who colonized the English Isles were Israelites who gave the Hebrew word for "covenant", b r t (brit), as the name for the islands: Brit-annia.

The Phoenicians founded many colonies, including Carthage, whose original name in Hebrew was Kiriath Hadeshath, meaning "the new city". The people of Carthage worshipped a G-d called El, but later they worshipped Baal, like the ten northern tribes of Israel.

The following note fits into the context of the traces of the migration of peoples:

When the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem began after the Babylonian captivity (535 BCE), Ezra soon afterward reports to King Darius on the progress of the project and reveals something about the construction method: namely, that timbers are placed in the walls

Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great G-d, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands. Ezra 5:8

This type of construction is called half-timbering. It was a fairly inexpensive way of building. It is rather questionable whether the first temple, which King Solomon had built in a time of economic prosperity, used half-timbering technology. But the Israelites evidently knew and practiced this technique. Most half-timbered houses today can be found in Germany, Alsace and England. From the 11th to the 19th century, they were the dominant architectural style throughout Central Europe, England and Scandinavia. In the Middle Ages, Paris and London were purely half-timbered cities. Outside of Central and Northern Europe, there are isolated half-timbered buildings in the areas through which the Scythians and Cimmerians moved towards Europe during the Great Migration, or worldwide in places where white ethnic groups live today. It is not only in Europe that the descendants of Jacob have become a whole host of peoples (Gen 28:3 .35:10-11 .48:17-19):

And G-d said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. Gen 17:15-16

From the 17th century AD, white Europeans settled in North America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. In addition, many whites emigrated to South America, to Brazil, Argentina, and many Germans even to the end of the world: southern Chile. G-d's promise to Jacob's physical descendants, to Israel, is that he will call them from the end of the world and bring them back (Isaiah 41:8-10, 43:5-7). G-d had always reserved areas all over the world to be settled by his children.

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. Deu 32:8

If Chile is one end of the world from Europe, then Siberia is the other end of the world. G-d had not only promised that nations would come out of Jacob, but that there would be dispersion among foreign peoples.

All covenants are fulfilled through Jesus .... it is impossible for any man to keep covenant with God (all are faulty) ... even so we are to press forward ... pursing righteousness ... that is becoming one with Christ and having His righteousness imparted unto us.

One is initially justified by grace through faith and then, over the course of their life, they are imparted with Christ's righteousness gradually over time, based on their obedience to the 10 Commandments (of which we do out of love of God), which keeps them in a state of grace on the road to final justification ... which will happen when Jesus returns.

We are right with God because of Christ our Substitute. God, Paul said, "made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Cor. 5:21). As repentant sinners, we experience full and complete pardon through Christ when He returns and are then eternally with Him.

When Christ returns the separation of the sheep (the bride-the saved) and the goats (the lost) has taken place for eternity.

Let me say the same in other words, maybe you will understand it better:

Sin is defined in the renewed covenant, that is, in the NT, as a violation of the terms of the covenant, more precisely as a violation of the Torah

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1 John 3:4

Instead of lawlessness, one should say Torahlessness, because wherever Torah is mentioned, most Bible translations have translated it as law, which of course is not true.

Being born again alone does not make the bride. That only has something to do with salvation, but says nothing about the walk as a bride.

The teachings of the Torah and walking in it are light, the additional oil!

A Jewish wedding is to be understood in this way. It consists of two phases. The engagement, which is legally speaking like a marriage, except for the fact that the marriage has not yet been physically consummated. The engagement could only be annulled by a certificate of divorce. So we are entrusted to Him as a bride, but the consummation (living with Him) has not yet taken place. If we do not live according to the terms of the covenant, the marriage will not be consummated, in other words we will not live with HIM as a bride. It is always a question of whether we live with Him in the covenant and according to His covenant terms in order to be considered worthy as a bride.

The coronation ceremony of the kings and queens of Great Britain dates back to 732 AD.

The similarities between today's ceremony and that of the kings of the House of David are astonishing.

The King's Entry into the Abbey

The King is greeted at the door of Westminster Abbey by political and ecclesiastical dignitaries and is then led inside. The choir sings Psalm 122, written by King David

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the Lord our G-d I will seek thy good. Ps 122:1-9

Presentation of the King

The Archbishop of Canterbury presents the new king to the people. He is announced to all four corners of the world. At each announcement the people give their approval by shouting

G-d save the king!

The people of Israel shouted the same words for Saul, their first king

And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, G-d save the king. 1 Sam 10.24

Anointing with Oil

As the King takes his seat on the coronation seat, the Archbishop recites the following prayer:

"O Lord, Holy Father, Who by anointing with oil didst of old make and consecrate Kings, Priests and Prophets to teach and govern Thy people Israel: Bless and sanctify thy chosen servant (Name), who by our office and ministry is now to be anointed with this oil, and consecrated King of this Realm. Strengthen him, O Lord, with the Holy Ghost the Comforter; Confirm and stablish him with thy free and princely Spirit, the Spirit of Wisdom and Government; the Spirit of Counsel and Ghostly Strength; the Spirit of Knowledge and true G-dliness, and fill him, O Lord, with the Spirit of thy Holy Fear, now and for ever. Amen."

At this moment, the choir begins to sing Handel's hymn "Zadok the priest". The hymn tells of Solomon's anointing as king by the priest Zadok in 969 BCE.

And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, G-d save king Solomon. Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah. And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the Lord G-d of my lord the king say so too. 1 Kings 1:34-36

Presentation of the royal insignia




The King is girded with two swords: the sharp sword of spiritual justice and the blunt sword of mercy

Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: Zec 7:9




Bracelet

This royal insignia goes back to King Saul

So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord. 2 Sam 1:10

It shows that the king is the military leader.




The Orb

When handing over the Orb, the Archbishop points out to the King that Jesus Christ is the true ruler of this world, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Those who do not attain His authority or keep His commandments will not be able to hand over with joy.

The robe

The king receives a priestly robe like that worn by the high priest Aaron

And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office. Ex 28:4

This shows his role as head of the church.




The Coronation Ring

The ring symbolizes the unity between the king and his people; his "wedding" with the people

Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: Jer 3:14

In ancient times the ring was a symbol of power and honor

And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; Gen 41:42

But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: Lk 15:22





Two scepters

The two scepters date back to the time of the exodus of the people of Israel from Egypt. At that time, G-d chose Moses and Aaron as leaders. The scepter with the cross represents royal power. It corresponds to Moses' staff, which was a symbol of the power that G-d had given him

And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. Ex 14:15-16

The scepter with the dove (= Holy Spirit) symbolizes righteousness and mercy. We read repeatedly in Exodus and Numbers that Aaron wielded a staff as high priest when exercising his office as high priest.

With the death of Jesus, sacrifices and the laws regarding sacrifices became invalid

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Col 2:14

However, the national laws, the commandments, statutes and legal ordinances remained and are still valid today; cf. Lev 26:46; Deu 4:1 .5:31 .7:11; Dan 9:25; Mt 5:17

Jesus Christ will ascend to the throne of David at his return. He will hold the scepter as both king and high priest and will rule over all the peoples of the earth. At the end of the handover, Psalm 45:6-7 is quoted.

Thy throne, O G-d, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore G-d, thy G-d, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Ps 45:6-7




Coronation

The king, who sits on the coronation seat, receives the crown. The crown is decorated with a cross to symbolize that Jesus Christ is the real king and ruler. Twelve large precious stones are set in the lower edge of the crown. Their number and color are of great importance; they are identical to those worn by the high priests of Israel; cf. Ex 28:15-21; Zec 9:16-17

Presentation of the Bible

The king is presented with a Bible covered in scarlet velvet with the following words inscribed on it:

Our gracious King: to keep your Majesty ever mindful of the Law and the Gospel of G-d as the rule for the whole life and government of Christian princes, we present you with this book, the most valuable thing that this world affords. Here is Wisdom: This is the royal Law: These are the lively Oracles of G-d.

It had already been announced to Moses that the kings of Israel would receive the words and statutes of G-d at their coronation

And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his G-d, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: Deu 17:18-19

Immediately afterwards the choir sings

The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head. Ps 21:1-3

Confirmation of the King by the People

At the end of the coronation, all those present give their consent to the legitimate election of the King by repeatedly and loudly shouting:

G-d save the King!

And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, G-d save king Solomon. And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them. 1 Kings 1:39-40

The cheering is accompanied by the loud sound of trumpets

And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: 2 Kings 11:14a


As we can see, the various events of the coronation ceremony have their basis in the Bible




G-d asks us to honor and respect the king or queen He has appointed.

There are various theories as to how it became known as the 'Union Jack', so the exact origin is subject to debate. However, this does not change the fact that the white population of Europe, especially Central and Northern Europe, and their emigrant family members in North America, Australia and South Africa can be considered descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel.

Based on a wealth of evidence, this is one of several legitimate historical views which, of course, need not necessarily be shared.

Linguistic studies confirm links between the early British and the Middle East. The Celtic or Kymeric language is the oldest living language. Its word roots have a fundamental kinship with ancient Hebrew. The ancient language is still alive. It is widely spoken in Wales, Cornwall, Ireland, Scotland, Brittany and Normandy.

The House of Israel should not only lose its identity, but also its name. It was to be given a new name as it was no longer to know its identity as Israel, as G-d clearly explained in Isaiah where He referred to these last days and the Millennium.
I cannot agree, but apart from that, the discussion about the so-called "lost tribes of Israel" is pointless, for the New Testament tells us that there is now no difference; all those who are in Christ are one, regardless of whether they are physically descended from Abraham:

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Ga 3:28 NKJV)

“7 Therefore know that [only] those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, [saying], "In you all the nations shall be blessed." 9 So then those who [are] of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.” (Ga 3:7-9 NKJV)

Whether or not a person is in Christ is far more important than their physical ancestry.

Whether or not a person is in Christ is far more important than their physical ancestry.

When considering a topic like this, you can only move forward step by step. It is about so much more.

The so-called lost ten tribes of Israel are an important part of biblical prophecy. The Bible reports the return of Israel in so many places. It is not two or three places. It is a detailed and recurring theme.

The historical perspective regarding the lost tribes is only one side. Another side, which was not yet even adressed among others, are the parables of Jesus, which all have the same focus, they are just told from a different perspective:

It's the return of the ten tribes to the land of Israel with the return of the Messiah, because He comes to establish His kingship over the reunified kingdom of Israel. YHVH's divine plan is the restoration of the entire house of Israel. This is what the heart of the Messiah longs for. At that time the two faces of Israel will become one again in the hand of G-d.

1. א Alef 1
13. מ Mem 40
22. ת תּ Tav/Sav 400

form the letters for the word emeth, meaning truth. As you can see, it uses the first, middle and last letters of the Alefbet. Thus, not only is the truth eternal, but also that in order to reach the truth, one must consider everything from beginning, middle and end.

With the understanding of the House of Judah and the House of Israel, we recognize that the land of Israel is the land that YHVH has given us.

You simply cannot avoid arguing it away. The prophecies are full of it! Not only Judah, but also Ephraim will repopulate the land of Israel. And we only have to look at current events to see that the process has long since begun.

In 1948 and 1967, Jerusalem came back into Jewish hands, a sign that G-d is turning more and more to Israel and that Israel is fulfilling His word, even though it is not (yet) living in His orders. But you can still recognize G-d's handwriting in the creation of the state. And Judah is playing a large part in preparing the land.

The promises of G-d are not hidden. Everyone can examine them and everyone can choose to believe them.

Jesus' entire effort was to restore the kingdom of Israel.

He is predestined to be the future king of this kingdom. He performed a great miracle in a deserted place near the city of Bethsaida, the feeding of the 5,000. There he wanted to spend some time alone with his disciples. But the crowd got wind of where he had gone and followed him.

and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of G-d, and healed them that had need of healing. Lk 9:11b

Lord Jesus did not speak to them about the Good News of (personal) salvation, but rather about the Good News of the Kingdom of G-d. It goes on to say

But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. And they did so, and made them all sit down. Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets. Lk 9:13-17

Although He knew, of course, that it was impossible to feed such a large crowd, He only said to His disciples

Give ye them to eat. Lk 9:13

Why did he do this?

What is the message in it?

What is so significant about 5 loaves, 2 fish, people sitting in groups of 50, the food to be distributed to the crowd, and the 12 baskets of leftover fragments?

Anyone who has understood the importance of the Torah, learned of the truth of the two houses of Israel, grasped the transcendent significance of the number 50, and accepted the biblical significance of the crowd and the number 12 will see the true intent behind Jesus' miracle.

Every symbol in this miracle has something to do with the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel.

The 5 loaves are a reference to the 5 books of Moses, which are the foundation of all Scripture, both the Old and New (Hebrew: renewed) covenants.




The 2 fishes point to the two houses of Israel, Judah and Ephraim, which have been so painfully separated from each other over the past 3000 years



The special thing about the number 50 is that it makes reference to the biblical Jubilee year:

In the 50th year, all of Israel's captives will be released.

The food for the multitude is a picture of all of Abraham's descendants, who, according to the promise, would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore.

The 12 baskets represent the restoration of the 12 tribes of Israel (consisting of Judah and Ephraim) to a united kingdom of Israel.

Lord Jesus, through the simple symbols He used in His miracle of feeding the 5,000, simultaneously explained the gospel of the kingdom to His disciples in a very subtle way. Only those who were given an understanding of the mysteries of the kingdom could notice these incredible connections.

The gospel of the kingdom, as it is proclaimed in both the Old and New Testaments, is too one-sided, too intolerant, too extreme or too fundamentalist for some people.

But it doesn't really matter how people see it, does it?

It is the truth. Even after Jesus' resurrection, the disciples heard Him

speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of G-d: Acts 1:3b

As a result, they asked Him the question that burned in their hearts:

Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? Acts 1:6b

He replied

It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem (the capital of the Southern Kingdom), and in all Judaea, and in Samaria (the capital of the Northern Kingdom), and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:7-8

and continued

Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man (Daniel 7:13-14) be come. Mt 10:23

The two faces of Israel, Christian and Jewish, are destined to come together and be reconciled.

Isn't it extremely ironic that Judah's face is clearly seen by the world, while Joseph/Ephraim's face is hidden from it?

However, if we are familiar with the story of Joseph, this should not surprise us.

Joseph's own brothers did not recognize him when they were brought before him. He was wearing Egyptian clothing and they also assumed he was dead. Joseph's story, in which no one, not even his own brothers, recognized him, serves as a perfect analogy to the lost house of Israel, which is also unrecognized to this day. No one recognizes them because they are also dressed in pagan clothing and because everyone thinks the lost tribes are dead.

The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying, Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions: And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord G-d; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord G-d; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. Ez 37:15-22

Who will return home?

Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. Isa 51:11

This prophetic statement has not yet happened and is yet to be fulfilled.

The word of G-d is true and reliable

But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the G-d of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: Acts 24:14

Eternal life, or better life in the future age (eon), depends, among other things, on faith in the gospel of the Kingdom of G-d on earth. This is a very simple message that must be believed.

And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of G-d is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Acts 1:14

The sins of both houses are explicitly mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. The sin of the House of Judah was not identical to the sins of the House of Israel. And the willingness of the two houses to repent was different, as was the punishment. The sin of the House of Israel can be found in many parts of Christianity to this day, while the House of Judah values the Torah.

I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled. They will not frame their doings to turn unto their G-d: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord. Hos 5:3-4

And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them. Hos 5:5


Jews will come to believe in the Messiah and Christians will repent and return to the teachings of G-d, His Torah, which is a tree of life.

The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. Hos 13:12

The various coats of arms in the world are a symbol of the history of the nations represented.




The Royal British Coat of Arms features details that identify the people of Great Britain as descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The coat of arms of Great Britain has existed in its current form (apart from minor variations) since the reign of King James I (1603-1625 CE). He was the one who published a new English translation of the Bible, the King James Bible. Forty-nine of the greatest scholars of the biblical languages (Hebrew and Greek) worked on the translation from the Jewish manuscripts (called Masorah) until the King James Bible was published in 1611

Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of G-d, and the promises; Rom 9:4

G-d blessed Britain and America as long as they respected this Bible. A historical example may illustrate this clearly: King Philip of Spain ordered his armada, which was believed to be invincible, to attack Britain. On July 19, 1588, the sails of the Spanish fleet were sighted near the British coast. Although the British fleet had only 80 small ships to counterattack the 149 ships of the Spanish Armada, the miraculous happened.

A severe storm at exactly this time brought victory to Britain. Knowing of G-d's intervention, Queen Elizabeth ordered a silver coin with the inscription:

FLAVIT [יהוה] ET DISSIPATI SVNT
He blew with His winds and they were scattered

Above it is the name of G-d in Hebrew




On the reverse of the coin there is an image of a church founded on a rock with the Latin inscription:

ALLIDOR NON LAEDOR
I may be attacked, but not wounded

The emblems on the coat of arms of Great Britain are all of older origin. The English lion is in the first and fourth quarters, the Scottish lion in the second quarter. This lion is the Lion of Judah, which was on the Royal Standard of the Scottish Stewarts (Royal House of Scotland), which was adopted into the British coat of arms after the union of England and Scotland in 1603. In the third quarter is the harp, which represents Northern Ireland and is the harp of David. Therefore, all the emblems on the coat of arms have their origin in Judah.

This confirms the promise of G-od in the second book of Samuel - a promise that was fulfilled to the letter!

And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 2 Sam 7:12-13

King Charles III can trace his family line back to King David. Copies of his family tree can be found in the British Museum and Windsor Castle.

The French inscription DIEU ET MON DROIT translates to G-d and my right and appears below the coat of arms on the ribbons. The phrase speaks of a birthright. When one considers all the birthright promises that G-d made to Abraham and then to Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, it is clear that these promises have been literally fulfilled by the Anglo-Saxons of today. It is therefore to be expected that the birthright promise would appear on the coat of arms of Great Britain.

The phrase written around the coat of arms means:

HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE
Shame on anyone who thinks badly of it

i.e. over Great Britain. This is very similar to the promise of the birthright:

cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. Gen 27:29b


The lion, the king of beasts, represents the supremacy of Israel among the nations

A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; Pro 30:30

The Bible associates the symbol of the lion with Israel Like the lion, the unicorn is a symbol of power and strength. Moses and Balaam associate the symbol of the unicorn, Hebrew reem, with Israel

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? Gen 49:9
And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the Lord, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. Mic 5:7


(Note: In the Bible passages on the subject of unicorns, the word bull, ox, buffalo or wild bull can sometimes be found instead. The New King James has replaced the word unicorn with wild ox. This is certainly correct, since it is believed that the medieval idea of the unicorn came from the oryx cattle of the Sinai Peninsula and not from any horse-related animals!)

Another connection is found in Deuteronomy

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. Deu 33:17

The unicorn was originally part of the Scottish coat of arms, but was added to the English lion in 1603. Historical records show that the unicorn was also found on the standard of the tribe of Ephraim during its wanderings through the desert. This is another occurrence that indicates Britain's descent from one half of the tribe of Ephraim.

The crowned lion sits on the crown above the helmet on the shield. We read in Luke

and the Lord G-d shall give unto him [Jesus] the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; Lk 1:32a-33a

Therefore, Jesus is represented by the Lion of the Tribe of Judah in a position that emphasizes His right to rule over the house of David and Jacob

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Rev 5:5

The apostle Paul mentions the symbols of hero and shield in his letter to the Ephesians. In it he uses the Greek expression politeia to Israél, community of Israel, an unusual expression in those days, since there was no community of Israel at that time.

According to the OT prophecies, Israel was to be a special blessing for the other nations in the end times.

America and Great Britain, through their intensive missionary work, are primarily responsible for the spread of the Bible and thus also for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the end times, as prophesied in the Bible

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; and it shall come to pass in the last days, saith G-d, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:16-17

The ornaments to the right and left of the helmet spread out like tongues of fire. These indicate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We read the following explanation in the Bible:

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. Acts 2:3

The national promises had originally been given to Abraham and were renewed for the posterity of Isaac and Jacob (= Israel). Of the twelve sons of Israel, Joseph was to be the one to inherit the national promises, and his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh inherited them thereafter.

Jacob blessed Ephraim and Manasseh on his deathbed, favoring - contrary to tradition - the younger Ephraim rather than the firstborn Manasseh

And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he [Manasseh] also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother [Ephraim] shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. Gen 48:19

As already noted, the Royal Arms of Great Britain contains symbols that link it to the promises of Ephraim. Thus Israel is associated with the lion and the unicorn (or wild ox) representing the sceptre and birthright of the tribes of Judah and Joseph respectively

G-d brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee. Num 24:8-9

Incredibly, these two symbols appear on the coat of arms of the British, their great seal

When Jacob blessed Ephraim and Manasseh, they were automatically placed in the same position as the other twelve tribes. Since Ephraim's blessings were greater than those of Manasseh, Ephraim is commonly referred to as the thirteenth tribe. The tribe of Manasseh was taken into captivity in 744 B.C.E. Applying the prophesied punishment of 2,520 years (seven times) to Manasseh, the year is 1776. This was the very year that the United States gained its independence from Great Britain. The previous year, thirteen states agreed to sign the Declaration of Independence; and in 1783, Great Britain agreed.




The seal of the United States of America was designed in 1782 and adopted in 1789. The obverse depicts an eagle, which corresponds to the eagle in Revelation when Israel fled into the wilderness to feed themselves for a time and times and half a time. At that time, Manasseh and Ephraim were still united.

Here are two points of identification: the time period and the 13 states.

There are 13 stars above the eagle; the Latin words E PLURIBUS UNUM (one of many) consists of 13 letters; the olive branch with 13 leaves and 13 olives on the left side; 13 arrows on the right side; as well as 13 stripes on the shield. The stars are mentioned by Joseph about his dream in Genesis

And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. Gen 37:9

In this case, each star represents a tribe. On the seal, each star represents a state of original union.

The words ANNUIT COEPTIS, which again consist of 13 letters, also have a spiritual meaning. They mean: He makes our enterprises prosper, or in this case, He promotes our independence. The founders of the state at that time had to rely on G-d, because they had no political leadership or financial support.

The President's Standard is comparable to the Royal Standard of Great Britain and is used by the President as a means of representation like the flag of the British royal family.

The Lord spoke through Israel that the descendants of Manasseh would become a great nation, but not as great as Ephraim, whose descendants would become a multitude of nations.




Both Great Britain and the United States have many Israelite roots, but only Great Britain became a multitude of nations and only America has the sign 13, which marks a great nation. These facts, together with the sevenfold punishment, identify Great Britain as Ephraim's descendants and the United States of America as the descendants of Manasseh.

The olive tree is another symbol and is used several times in the Bible to represent Israel; cf. Rom 11:14ff

We know from the Bible that Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, were born in Egypt near the pyramids. The Great Pyramid on the back of the seal has 13 layers of stone, one for each tribe. The founders of the United States were certainly not aware that the Great Pyramid contains a system of passages that reveal prophecies about Israel when measured in the British unit of measurement (inches). The system of passages refers to numerous important dates in Israel's history, e.g. the Exodus from Egypt and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the beginning of World War I on August 4, 1914 and its end on November 11, 1918. The cornerstone (Jesus), which was rejected, is also missing from the real pyramid.

And people talk of white supremacy :)

The identification of America and Great Britain as Israel does not mean that they have spiritual dominance over other nations, but that it is their duty to be an example to other nations. In recent decades in particular, these nations have no longer fulfilled this task and are therefore continuing to decline. However, the fulfillment of the promises to Israel shows in a fascinating way the reliability of biblical prophecy and thus confirms the authority of the Bible as a whole

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 2 Pe 1:19

And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other g-ds, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. Deu 28:64

The best example of Israel's dispersion is the Germans who live and have lived in Eastern Europe and Asia. Millions of Germans were scattered throughout the Russian Empire, leaving their mark on the land and establishing churches even in faraway Irkutsk.

Isaac and Jacob were both promised that from their lineage would come a society of peoples with kings (Gen 17:16 .35:11),




that they would become extremely numerous and would dominate other nations (“possess the gates of their enemies,” Gen 22:17).




At the height of their power, the British and the Americans controlled vast areas of the most fertile parts of the world and the greatest mineral resources. In addition, they controlled strategically important straits, canals and ports.

The United States doubled its land area with the purchase of Louisiana in 1803. In just a few decades it expanded across the entire continent. Less than a century after its founding, the young nation acquired some of the world's most fertile agricultural land and valuable natural resources.

The combination of agricultural wealth and natural resource wealth quickly put America at the top of the world's per capita income list. Whether it was grain and livestock, coal, iron, or oil production, America had unparalleled abundance. For example, during World War II the oil fields in East Texas produced more oil than all the Axis powers combined. The prophecy of the aged Israel to his grandson Manasseh that his descendants would become the greatest single nation has certainly been fulfilled in the United States of America.

In addition, with the acquisition of the Panama Canal and numerous islands that were added towards the end of the 19th century, the United States also owned the gates of its enemies. In conjunction with England, America controlled virtually all strategic passageways on earth for most of the 19th and 20th centuries.

At their peak, the American and British nations owned or controlled a preponderant portion of the world's wealth. There is simply no other nation that can compare to the wealth and power controlled by the English-speaking peoples.

The greatness of these nations was not achieved because they were better people than others. Rather, they were given shares in the best possessions of the earth because Abraham was once faithful and obedient to G-d and G-d had promised him this.

Moses reminded the Israelites:

The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Deu 7:7-8

How have these most blessed nations forgotten their G-d and His laws?

The most basic building block of a nation, the family, has been shattered by divorce and illegitimate relationships. Increasingly, same-sex relationships are called "marriage" and given the same privileges and recognition as the G-d-ordained union of a man and a woman. It is now routine to see parades of people proud to be gay in the streets from London to San Francisco, and from Tel Aviv to Sydney. Abortion remains a silent holocaust that has claimed the lives of tens of millions of unborn babies in recent decades. Many cities are so violent that people are afraid to go out in public at night. Greed, materialism and immoral behavior have become inextricably interwoven with the behavior of nations in the Western world.

The messages of the prophets of antiquity are as accurate in describing our conditions as a news broadcast

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Isa 1:4

One is no longer even ashamed of the behavior of our nations

The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. Isa 3:9

G-d appointed the prophet Ezekiel as a watchman over the house of Israel.

So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. Ez 33:7

What is the message to modern Israel preserved by Ezekiel’s hand for our day?

Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations... in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; Ez 22:2-4a

In addition to violence and idolatry, G-d also accuses Israel through Ezekiel of immorality, including adultery and incest

in the midst of thee they commit lewdness. In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution. And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter. Ez 22:9b-11

He also speaks of the collapse of the family structure and the distress of the needy and helpless

In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow. Ez 22:7

The book of Ezekiel contains a lament for our sins, a call to repentance, and a warning of G-d's coming judgment. And it looks ahead to the time after the judgment, when the nations will repent and be brought back together after Christ returns.

The once-mighty British Empire is already a shadow of its former glory, and the United States- ravaged by economic, political and social turmoil -is no longer unchallenged as the sole superpower. There was a time when G-d did indeed use the nations descended from the Americans and British to lead the world. But that time is rapidly drawing to a close. Nations that use G-d's name while rejecting His commandments will no longer receive His blessings. Instead, G-d will break their stubbornness.

Nations that use G-d's name but reject His commandments will no longer be able to receive His blessings. Instead, G-d will break their stubbornness

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: Lev 26:19

The prophet Jeremiah calls this coming time of national calamity

the time of Jacob's trouble, Jer 30:7b


He says that this time will be worse than anything the world has ever seen. Jesus Christ spoke of the same time in Matthew

For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Mt 24:21


The great tribulation will primarily be a time of distress and chastisement for the modern house of Israel. But the chastisement is not the end of history. The prophet Ezekiel speaks of a future time when Israel will be reunited after the return of the Messiah in power and glory

And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. Therefore thus saith the Lord G-d; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid. When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; Then shall they know that I am the Lord their G-d, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. Ez 39:23-28

G-d will give them rest from their suffering, fears and the hard yoke they have endured

For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob... And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, Isa 14:1 .3

They will rebuild the cities that lie in ruins

And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. Isa 61:4

G-d inspired Ezekiel to describe the national conversion of Israel that will then follow. This will be the beginning of the conversion of all the nations of the world

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. Ez 36:25-27


So what does the future hold for America and Britain?

G-d's coming judgment! And the other nations will not escape either. A chastisement for our sins is already on the horizon. It will be swift and severe, and will amaze the whole world. This chastisement will shake the nations more than anything they have ever experienced before! For most people, however, it will be the occasion and beginning of deep, sincere repentance and they will turn back to G-d as has never happened in our day

For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your G-d. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen. Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations. Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord G-d, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel. Ez 36:24-32

The doctrine of the coming kingdom and the role that believers will play in it is missing from today's preaching. That there is a significant difference between the New Testament presentation of the gospel and the way it is preached today is evidenced by the candid admissions of leading evangelicals. They are confused because they realize that the word "kingdom" is completely absent from their discussions and sermons on the gospel. The reason for this is that they are trapped in a pagan-influenced version of the faith that is essentially non-Messianic and has lost touch with the good news of the kingdom of G-D.

The story of Lazarus and the rich man is a parable about the kingdom of G-d. It was addressed to the Pharisees and provides an explanation for the prophecy of the Messiah

Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of G-d shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Mt 21:43


The key to properly understanding the parable in Luke's Gospel is to identify the rich man as Judah (the Jews) and the poor Lazarus as Ephraim-Israel (the lost tribes). All the details in this story support this view, and it seems best to go through the parable verse by verse.

Now there was a rich man (the house of Judah, which had kept the scriptures, the temple and the Hebrew traditions) who clothed himself in purple (purple represents the royal line of the house of Judah)

And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, Mk 15:17

and fine linen (symbol of the priests and Levites who belonged to the House of Judah);

And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework. Ex 28:39

and lived luxuriously and joyfully every day (after the partition, the Jews were still doing well. They were independent and enjoyed G-d's blessings and the Temple service in Jerusalem).

But there was a beggar (Ephraim-Israel, having lost their land, nationality, identity and a place to worship G-d) named Lazarus (according to Young's concordance, this means "without help"),

And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And G-d said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away. Hos 1:6

Lazarus, derived from Loa-ezer, which means "without help", lay at his door full of wounds (the house of Israel was taken captive and then scattered among godless nations where they were branded with "wounds" of idolatry).

And desired to be satisfied with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table (the G-d-fearing Israelites from the lost tribes, who longed for spiritual food, had to go to Jerusalem to look for the "crumbs" of the Jews); in addition, the dogs came and licked his (the "dogs" symbolize the pagan nations who treated the Israelites more kindly than the Jews did).

But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. Mt 15:26

But it came to pass that the beggar died (the house of Israel was judged first and died as a nation when they were deported to Assyria from 721 BCE), and was carried by the angels (miraculously, with the "wings of a great eagle")

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. Rev 12:14

into Abraham's bosom (into the fulfillment of G-d's promise for Abraham's seed to become a "great and mighty nation",

Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? Gen 18:18

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Heb 11:13


that Abraham's "womb" symbolizes this covenant promise). But the rich man also died and was buried (the Jews not only lost their nationality, but were also "buried" when Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 CE, the "broken potter's vessel" which "cannot be made whole again").

And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury. Jer 19:11

And in hell he lifted up his eyes (in this case the Greek word for hell is hadés and refers to national and spiritual "death". According to the prophecy by the Messiah, the southern kingdom of the Jews was to die)

Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth,... Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye (once at my return) shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. (Ps 118:26) Mt 23:34-39

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh... for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. Lk 21:20-23


in his torment (since the Jews had rejected the Messiah, they were cursed and in "torment"),

Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Mt 27:25

and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom (the Jews recognized that the promise of the covenant with Abraham came to life in another nation).

Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of G-d shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Mt 21:43


And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the extremity of his finger in water, and cool my tongue (Lazarus - representing Ephraim-Israel - is able to relieve the hopeless situation of the Jews); for I suffer torment in this flame (the "flame" of the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. and the further persecution of the Jews since then).

But Abraham said, "Remember, son (Judah, as one of the tribes of Israel, was also Abraham's "son"), that you have received your good in your life,

But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their G-d, Hos 1:7a

Lazarus, on the other hand, has received evil ("I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel")

And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And G-d said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away. Hos 1:6

now he is comforted here ("comfort my people" on "the islands")

Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands. Isa 42:12

and you will be tormented

His blood be on us, and on our children. Mt 27:25b

And all of this has created a great divide between us and you

that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. Zec 11:14b


Ephraim-Israel willingly accepted the New Covenant, while the Jews rejected Christ, the Messiah): that they which would pass over from hence unto you could not, neither can they that would pass over from thence unto us (the rejection of the Messiah by the Jews and the conversion of Ephraim-Israel to Christianity form a great, unbridgeable "gulf").

"Then he said, 'I beg you, Father, to send him to my father's house, for I still have five brothers (Judah was the son of Leah, he had five brothers

The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: Gen 35:23

that he may warn them, lest they also come to this place of torment (every nation that rejects Christ the Messiah will be tormented and judged,

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:... And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Mt 25:31-46

Abraham said, "They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them (this is especially true of the Jews, who have the Law of Moses but are otherwise spiritually dead:

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. John 8:43

But he said, "No, father Abraham, but if one of the dead were to come to them, they would repent (Lazarus, representing Ephraim-Israel, came back to "national life", just as the Messiah himself was raised).

He said to him: If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead (the Jews did not and do not understand the OT in the right sense, and even the resurrection of Christ did not lead the Jews to repentance).

All the details in the above parable show that the rich man is Judah (the Pharisees immediately knew who the Lord Jesus was referring to when they heard about riches, linen, purple and the five brothers) and that Lazarus stands for the ten tribes split off (full of wounds and supported by the "dogs", and then raised into "Abraham's bosom" after death).

Today, these verses are spiritualized because preachers are not aware of the national and historical identity of G-d's Kingdom.

Until today, the lost tribes of Ephraim-Israel lived in "Abraham's bosom". They fulfilled the promises of national prosperity and world domination as well as that of being a multitude of nations. The British were the first to embrace Christianity as a nation and, after a delay of 2520 years, (seven "times" of punishment)

And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. Lev 26:18


exercised it in a commonwealth of nations. As the Lord Jesus had prophesied - the Kingdom of G-d was transferred to Ephraim-Israel. None of the promises to Abraham were ever fulfilled to the Jews. They had lost the kingdom and lived in torment until this century. Through their strong rejection of Jesus Christ, they are separated from G-d's blessings. To be clear, the parable shows what the Lord Jesus says elsewhere

Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of G-d shall be taken from you [the Jews], and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Mt 21:43

The people of Jesus' time knew who the parables referred to, because

And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. Mt 21:45

Lord Jesus chose to teach in parables, yes

But without a parable spake he not unto them: Mk 4:34a


It is necessary for us as Christians to gain understanding of all the parables. They should strive to belong to the first group of people the Messiah addresses in Luke's Gospel:

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of G-d: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Lk 8:10

The direct descendants of the lost ten tribes of the House of Israel can be found today in the British Commonwealth of Nations, the United States of America and certain countries in north-western Europe, especially Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Holland.

Many Jews in Europe were forced to give up their identity in order to survive. The tribe of Judah can also be found in Germany. As far as I know, the tribe of East Manasseh is also represented in Germany

Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh, Jos 13:7

After all, the English language is related to German.

Wicki writes:

Originally, the English language emerged from the West Germanic group together with Scots and the Frisian languages after the First Sound Shift.

And Ephraim (today Great Britain) and Manasseh were siblings.

Many Germans emigrated to America, the place where West Manasseh is said to be located.

For the tribe of the children of Reuben... , and the tribe of the children of Gad... , have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance: Num 34:14

There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: Jos 17:2



Jacob had twelve sons. Each of these twelve sons became the progenitor of one of the 12 tribes of Israel. The names of these tribes (in order of birth) are

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin.

The eleventh child, Joseph, had two sons. These two sons were named Manasseh and Ephraim.

Joseph's father Israel determined that Manasseh and Ephraim were to be two separate tribes, indicating that Joseph was to receive the double inheritance. Thus, one tribe was removed from the 12 tribes (Joseph) and two were added in its place (Joseph's sons Manasseh and Ephraim). This meant that instead of 12 tribes in Israel, there were now 13 tribes.

After this division, Israel arithmetically consisted of 13 tribes, twelve of which were given their own settlement area in Canaan, while the descendants of Levi, the Levites, remained landless as the priesthood of the people of Israel.

The tribe of Levi was later divided up and scattered among the other tribes so that the members of the tribe of Levi could serve the other tribes. For this reason, Levi was not counted as one of the tribes, leaving only 12 tribes.

Because of all this number-crunching within the tribes of Israel, it is not wrong to speak of 13 tribes. Conventionally, however, we speak of 12 tribes of Israel.

When the Bible speaks of the house of Israel, it primarily refers to the ten separate tribes. As we know, the name Israel was also given especially to the sons of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh)

and let my name be named on them [Ephraim and Manasseh], and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. Gen 48:16b

G-d gave David the kingdom of Israel in an everlasting covenant

And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; Ought ye not to know that the Lord G-d of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? [i.e. through an everlasting, imperishable covenant; cf. Gen 18:19)] 2 Chr 13:4-5

In another verse we see that G-d has promised that He will have descendants on His throne forever

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Ps 89:2-3

This covenant was to remain in place even if his sons fell away from G-d

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. Selah. Ps 89:31-37

From Rehoboam (Solomon's successor) to Zedekiah, the continuous succession of David's descendants can be recognized. After that, however, the succession seems to break off.

Jeremiah, the prophet at the time of the above-mentioned King Zedekiah, played an important role in the coming events in Israel's history. This can be seen from the fact that he is one of the few of whom the Bible says that they were chosen by G-d before they were born. John the Baptist and Jesus Christ are the other two. Jeremiah's task is clearly explained in the book named after him:

See, I have this day set thee 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

Zedekiah, David's successor, was captured and deported to Babylon. His sons and the nobles were killed; cf. Jer 39:1-7. He remained in captivity until his death; cf. Jer 52:11. This raised the question of who was to continue the line of David. Who would succeed to David's throne?

One hope remained with Zedekiah's predecessor Jehoiachin. He was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar, but was later released; cf. 2 Kgs 25:27-30. However, he was out of the question as successor to the throne, since G-d himself had proclaimed that neither Jehoiachin (= Coniah) nor any of his children would ever sit on the throne again; cf. Jer 22:24-25 .30.

Would G-d be able to keep his covenant with David - that his throne would endure forever?

Before we answer this question, let's take a look at the situation of the people of Israel at that time.

At the time of the reign of King Zedekiah (king of the southern kingdom), the ten tribes of Israel (northern kingdom) had already been in Assyrian captivity for 130 years. The conquerors conquered the vacated Northern Kingdom with other nations. Among them were also inhabitants from
Babel, Kuta, Awa, Hamat and Sepharwajim

And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof. 2 Kings 17:24

These people were still living in Samaria at the time of Jesus.

We know from the Bible that the Jews (southern kingdom) did not mix with the Gentiles from Samaria until the time of Jesus, 600 years later. The capital of the northern kingdom was Samaria. Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel were appointed as prophets when the Jews were taken away (130 years after the people of Israel).

So Jeremiah had fulfilled the first part of his commission: to exterminate and pull down, destroy and demolish, but the kingdom had not yet been rebuilt.

As we already know, all of Zedekiah's sons were dead. Jeremiah was also among the captives to be deported to Babylon. He was released by Nebuchadnezzar and allowed to go wherever he wanted. His journey took him to Mizpah

Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land. Jer 40:6

The reason for this was Zedekiah's daughters

Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, Jer 41:10a

Jeremiah knew that Hebrew law also allowed daughters as legal heirs if there were no male heirs. However, one condition was that they had to marry within their own tribe

And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter... And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance. Num 27:8 .36:8-9

Jeremiah fled to Egypt with the princesses and his servant Baruch. He had found the princesses; now he needed a man from the royal line and the royal tribe of Judah. To find them, we have to go back to the family tree of Judah.

In the first book of Moses, we read about the birth of Judah's twin son

And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez. And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah. Gen 38:29-30

Their names were Serah and Perez. Serach was actually the firstborn, but he pulled his hand back at birth (with the scarlet thread); so Perez was the first to come out of the womb

The hernia the midwife spoke of would not be healed until much later.

The line of Perez, the second-born, was blessed, and David was a descendant of this line.

A healing of the breach could only mean that the sceptre would ultimately have to be transferred from the Perez line to the Zerah line. This transfer did not take place before the time of King Zedekiah of Judah, as he was a descendant of the Perez line. Therefore, this had to happen after King Zedekiah was overthrown.

However, G-d had promised David that his line (Perez) would remain on the throne for all generations. Therefore, the healing could only occur if an heir to the throne of the Perez line would marry a descendant of the Zerah line.

History shows us that a group from the Serach line reached the Irish coast at the time of King David's reign over the Middle East.

Let us now take a brief look at what can be found in the ancient annals, legends and history of Ireland.

The actual ancient history of Ireland is very extensive, albeit tainted with some legends. But if you have the facts of biblical history and prophecy in mind, you can easily distinguish the legend from the true history when studying the ancient Irish annals. Leaving aside the obvious legends, the following emerges from various histories of Ireland:

Long before 700 BCE, a strong colony called the Tuatha de Danaan (tribe of Dan) arrived in ships, drove out other tribes and settled there. Later, in the days of David, a colony of the Serach tribe arrived in Ireland from the Middle East.

Then, in 569 BCE (the date of Jeremiah's transplant), an elderly, white-haired patriarch, sometimes referred to as a saint, came to Ireland. With him came the princess, daughter of an eastern king, and a companion named Simon Brach, referred to in various stories as Berech, Brach or Berach. The princess had a Hebrew name, Tephi, a pet name, her full name was Tea-Tephi [It's interesting to speculate here about the origin of the name Tephi - could it be connected with the city of Tahpanhes, also called Taphnas and Daphnae in Greek, the castle of the Jew's daughter].

This royal group also included the son of the King of Ireland, who had been in Jerusalem at the time of the siege. He had met Tea-Tephi there. He married her shortly after 585, when the city fell. Their young son, who was now about 12 years old, accompanied them to Ireland. In addition to the royal family, Jeremiah brought some remarkable things with him, including a harp, an ark and a miraculous stone called lia-fail or stone of destiny. A curious coincidence is that the Hebrew is read from right to left, while the English is read from left to right. You can read the name either way - it's still lia-fail.

Another strange coincidence is, that many kings in the history of Ireland, Scotland and England were crowned sitting over this stone, including the present King. The stone now rests in Westminster Abbey in London, and the coronation chair is built over and around it. A sign next to it refers to it as Jacob's pillar-stone. Jacob's pillar-stone is the name given to the stone on which Jacob's head rested when he fled from his twin brother Esau to Haran

And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. Gen 28:18

Another interesting fact is that the crown worn by the kings of ancient Ireland had 12 points! Furthermore, the heraldry used in Ireland and the British Isles goes back to the royal line of King David. Note in particular the Irish harp and the lion motif used in Scotland and England - countries where the animals are certainly not native. But the lion was also the motif on the standard of the tribe of Judah


The coat of arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

The royal husband of the Hebrew princess Tea was given the title Herremon when he ascended his father's throne. The son of this King Herremon and the Hebrew Princess continued on the throne of Ireland, and the same dynasty continued unbroken through all the kings of Ireland; was overthrown and transplanted again to Scotland; was again overthrown and transplanted to London, England, where the same dynasty continues today under the reign of King Charles III

G-d used the prophet Jeremiah to bring the daughters of King Zedekiah to Ireland, where one of them, Tea-Thepi, married into the royal line of Judah, Prince Herremon, and thus David's line continued in Ireland to this day.

Zedekiah, the last king of Judah, son of Josiah king of Judah and Manutah, was born in Jerusalem.

Babylon besieged Jerusalem and took the entire nation of Judah captive to Babylon. The king of Judah was Zedekiah from the tribe of Judah and the royal line from the House of David.

The sons of King Zedekiah were killed. King Zedekiah himself was taken captive to Babylon with his eyes gouged out. According to the Torah, the inheritance goes to the daughters if there are no male heirs. In this case, Zedekiah had two daughters. One was called Tea-Tephi and the other daughter was called Tamar-Tephi. These two princesses were placed under the guardianship of the prophet Jeremiah. G-d preserved the royal seed of David by having the king's daughter brought to Ireland, where she continued the royal family descended from David.

The records of the bards tell of the fact that they were first taken to Egypt and stayed in Egypt for a while. While they were in Egypt, Jeremiah's scribe sought out a ship so that they could depart with the mysterious, holy and sacred Ark of the Covenant and the King's daughters. The records of the bards in Ireland show that when Jeremiah and the king's daughters were in Egypt, they had the stone of Jacob's pillar and the mysterious and holy ark of the covenant in their possession.

We know from Egyptian and Greek historians that there were several exodus events of Israelites from Egypt, the last being the exodus of Moses. Those who were able to flee were probably able to do so because of their financial or ruling position in their society. The children of Israel who remained in Egypt were brought into bondage and eventually freed by Moses. Suffice it to mention the names of the important rulers who were exiled from Egypt. Two of these names are the names of Zerah's son, Kalkol and Dara, and the others are Cadmus and Danaus.

And the sons of Zerah; Zimri, and Ethan, and Heman, and Calcol, and Dara: five of them in all. 1 Chr 2:6

Not only Danaus and Cadmus are credited with having Indo-Europeanized the coastal countries of Europe, but also Kalkol and Dara. Judah had two sons, Perez and Zerah. One son, Perez, was to receive the principality on whose throne (David's) it was to sit.

shall never want a man... Jer33:17b until Shiloh come; Gen 49:10b

The first ruler (legally appointed by G-d) from the line of Perez would later become David.

Serach, on the other hand, the twin brother, stands out with the red thread around one hand at birth, which the midwife presented

And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first. Gen 38:28

Kalkol and Dara were sons or grandsons of Serach. They also traveled far away. The groups around Kalkol sailed as far as Ireland, those of Dan to western Asia Minor.

The Hebrew name Serach zarah, means to scatter, and the subsequent history of Serach and his descendants fully justifies the claim that he was named with prophetic intent.

The Irish chronicles, which go back further than those of any other people in Europe, record that the first inhabitants of this island, the Firbolgs, were Iberians; a people who came from Iberia (Spain), settled in Ireland and called it Iberne. The various expressions for Ireland throughout history can be linked to Hebrew. Kalkol Hebrew on Ireland!

John Dunham Massey explains in his book of the conquests of Ireland Leabhar Gabhala Eireann

There is evidence that Hebrew was spoken in very early times throughout most of Ireland; ancient inscriptions in this language have been unearthed not only on the coasts but also in the interior of Ireland.

Kalkol is also mentioned in ancient documents.

Camden's Britannia (1586) states that Kalkol, a great-grandson of Serach, sailed from Egypt to Spain and from there to Ireland, where he founded Ulladh (Ulster). On the shield of Northern Ireland (Ulster) a right red hand appears to this day, symbolizing the hand of Serach with the red thread around it. The original shield shows the hand framed by a red thread




The shield thus confirms the ancient sources.

The legends of ancient Greece unanimously claim that the people who founded their nation came from Egypt. Moreover, the time of the arrival of these groups in Greece is also the time of the Israelites' bondage in Egypt. The ancient authors all agree that these founders of the Greek nation were undoubtedly Israelite refugees from Egyptian bondage.

The emigrations from Egypt cited by Danaus and Cadmus and the exodus under Moses are not the only records.

Another important Greek colony was founded by Cecrops, who became the first legendary king of Attica. According to The Harmsworth Encyclopedia, Cecrops (Kalkol of 1 Chr 2:6 and 1 Kgs 5:11 and brother of Dara) was the mythical founder and first king of Athens in Greek mythology. It is assumed that he was the leader of a group of Hebrew colonists from Egypt. Cecrops (Kalkol) is at the head of all royal lineages in Europe, as he was one of the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, the patriarch of the same tribe from whom King David and Jesus Christ descended.

Historical records tell of the westward migration of the descendants of Kalkol along the shores of the Mediterranean and the founding of Iberian (Hebrew) trading settlements. A settlement now called Saragossa, in the Ebro Valley in Spain, was originally known as Zarah-gassa, meaning the fortress of Serach. From Spain they continued west to Ireland. The Iberians gave Ireland its name and called the island Iberne, which was later shortened to Erne and then Latinized to Hibernia, a name that still clings to Ireland.

Judah and his descendants received an eternal sceptre from YHVH. His twin sons Perez and Zerah became the progenitors of many royal houses




The Perez line led to the Judean kings. The Serah line led to the European royal houses
