Why I believe that lost Israel
is found in the Celtic/Anglo-Saxon nations today.
Rom 11:1-2
1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew.
(KJV)
Organised religion tells us today:
1.
Israel sinned, they were disobedient and cast off. God changed His mind and His
plan, but the Scripture clearly says God has not cast away His people.
People say that we shouldn't
study these things. It's only a waste of time and we divert folk
from what they call the simple Gospel.
Isa 51:1-2
1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are
digged.
2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
(KJV)
THE SCEPTICS
If you ask some one today,
"Where is Israel?", you will generally get one of these two popular
answers:
1. One half of Christianity
will point their finger to the map of the Middle East and they will pin point
the little territory of Palestine, the State of Israel, and they will say
"That is Israel today, where the Jews dwell". They'll tell you
that those 3,000,000 Jews who live there and possibly 10 to 12 million Jews
scattered on the face of the world today are the remnant of Israel.
2. Others when asked will
say, "God completely gave up on Israel. They were an absolute
disaster, so he changed His mind and His plan and in place of a physical,
natural, literal Israel He substituted it for a spiritual one, which we
now call "The Church".
Neither of those answers is
correct because God is not a man that He should lie. God doesn't changed
His mind. God said what He meant and He meant what He said. God kept His
word to Israel. He kept His covenant and his promises to Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob. The descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel, supposedly lost and
scattered on the earth, today are found tonight in the peoples of the Anglo
Saxon Celtic world, and also the people of Holland and Scandinavia.
GOD'S WORD
As we go through these
Scriptures think to yourself, "Are they fulfilled in the Jews or the
church?"
Why do we believe this?
THE NATION
Because of the promises to
Abraham, to Isaac and Jacob.
Gen 12:1-3
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
(KJV)
"Great Nation" -That
couldn't be the church, nor the Jews, a tiny state in the middle of the
Arab nations.
God added to those promises.
God's revelation is progressive. So it was with Abraham, He gave him
a little bit of information at a time, as much as Abraham was able to take in.
Sometimes he couldn't even take it all in, and he stumbled at the promises, the
Scripture says.
Gen 17:1-7
1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
(KJV)
Gen 28:13-14
13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou
liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
(KJV)
Gen 35:10-12
10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
(KJV)
Again, these promises are not
fulfilled in the church or the Jews. The only people who have become a
Great and mighty Nation and not just one nation, but have developed into a
multitude and commonwealth of daughter nations, have been the Celtic/Anglo-Saxon
people - the British and related peoples. You will not find in your
history books another race of people who developed into one central nation under
one enduring throne and then spread abroad all over the earth and set up
extension nations of the Mother Country all within a common allegiance to that
Davidic throne. No other group of nations has ever incorporated
"Great" into its national name.
Even the nations who have been
at their peak have never been called 'Great' (eg. Spain, Germany, France,
Russia) nor have they incorporated 'Great' into their national title.
God made the promise to the
patriarchal fathers 4000 years ago and He is a God of His word. He has not
changed His mind.
THE PEOPLE
Jacob was told the way that they
would develop and spread.
The natural order of the compass
is North, South, East, West, BUT Jacob was told in Genesis 28:14 that they would
go to the West first, then to the East, then to the North and then to the South.
Gen 28:14
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
(KJV)
When the northern 10 tribes of
Israel and the 200,000 captives of Judah who went with them were taken
into Assyrian captivity in 721 AD they eventually escaped from their captivity.
They went up through an area called the "Dariole Pass" or the
"Pass of Israel" (as it is still known today), into the steppes of
modern Russia (Georgia, Ukraine). They began a great trek westward, across
Russia, across the Crimea and into modern day Hungary and Romania, across
continental Europe, until they came up into the north - west coastlines &
began to settle in Holland, Denmark, Norway. Eventually they came into the
Isles North and West of Palestine.
Then from there they began to
trek westward again.
In the days of expansion, after
the 'Reformation', they crossed the Atlantic and they went into the great
continent of America to form the United States, the 'great nation' of Bible
prophecy.
Our colonists, sailors, soldiers
and missionaries came eastward and they developed the Indian Empire and all our
possessions across the east.
They went up to the North, the
frozen coastlines of Canada, and South to Australia and New Zealand - "The
Great Southland of the Holy Spirit." To the islands of
the sea and to the southern tip of South Africa.
WE FULFILLED THE
PROPHECIES THAT WERE MADE TO OUR FOREFATHERS.
God has kept His word. God
doesn't have any broken promises. We prove by identifying lost Israel that
God has kept His covenants made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Atheists can no longer say that
God is a liar, because they assume that these promises have not been fulfilled.
Rom 3:4
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
(KJV)
THE THRONE
God promised that there would
always be a descendant of King David RULING over those self same people of
Israel, where ever they would be found in the world today.
2 Sam 7:10-16
10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
12 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.
13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
(KJV)
This is the initial promise of
the Davidic covenant. If you can't believe this then you may as well shut
your Bible and go home now because you can't believe anything else He has said.
He has kept it.
Ps 89:14
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
(KJV)
Ps 89:29-37
29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
(KJV)
In about 587 BC the Babylonians
came. Nebuchadnezzar came and conquered Jerusalem and burned the Temple.
He took David's successor Zedekiah, lined up all his sons' and killed them,
then he blinded Zedekiah and took him back to Babylon in chains.
People say that was the end of
the throne of David. (So they say!)
They think that they are very
clever. They need to read -
Amos 3:7
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
(KJV)
The prophet in those days was
Jeremiah. If God had changed His mind He would have told Jeremiah.
He didn't change His mind -
Jer 33:17
17 For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
(KJV)
Jer 33:19-26
19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob:
(KJV)
 When
Jerusalem fell Jeremiah rescued the princess daughters of Zedachiah and where
the Scriptures leave the prophecy of Jeremiah the ancient historical records of
Ireland take the story up. With the ancient prophet and the eastern
princess being shipwrecked on the shores of Ireland. Bringing with
them the precious holy relics of the temple, including Jacob's pillar stone, the
Stone of Destiny, upon which every monarch of the throne of Israel was crowned,
and is still crowned.
There in the Emerald Isle the
seed of David was down planted again. The princess daughter of Zedekiah
married the King of Ireland, who was of Israelite blood/seed also. That
linked together the two houses of Judah, the Pharaz and Zara sections (The King
of Ireland coming through the line of Zarah, son of Judah. The princess
bride through the line of Pharaz his twin brother). That throne was
subsequently overturned to Scotland and then overturned to England.
Our God doesn't lie. He
has kept His promises and His word stands forever.
He says as long as you see the
sun, the moon and the stars, as long as there's day and night, heaven and earth,
then David will have a descendant on the throne, ruling over the House of
Israel, on the earth today.
PROMISES FULFILLED
MILITARILY:
Gen 22:16-17
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
(KJV)
'Gates' - strategic military and naval points.
There was a time in history when we were a great military power controlling the
strategic military points of the earth. Genesis 24:60 The gates:-
Panama Canal, Suez Canal, Singapore, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Gibraltar, Cape of Good
Hope, Falkland Islands. All these were exclusively in possession of the
Anglo Saxon nations of the earth. Isaiah 54:17 Napoleon - Nelson,
Spanish Armada - Drake, WW 1, WW 2. Each time out numbered and yet
unconquered. Until the breaking of our power.
THE LAND:
Deut 8:7
7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
(KJV)
Half of all the tillable, cultivatable parts of the earth
are or have been in the possession of the Anglo - Saxon nations. (America
feeding Russia, the Red Cross of the Anglo-Saxon nations, World Vision and other
organisations). Gold and diamond mines of South Africa. Herding,
oil, minerals, etc. If we withdrew and only traded with each other we
wouldn't have to have any dealings with the rest of the world.
CHRISTIAN:
Isa 43:10-12
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.
(KJV)
God said that in the last days Israel would be an
Christian nation - translating the Bible, spreading the Scriptures and
receiving the Holy Spirit.
Have any of these promises been
applied to the Jews yet?
SPREADING THE WORD:
Isa 44:3-4
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
(KJV)
Isa 59:21
21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
(KJV)
Micah 5:7
7 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.
(KJV)
What other nation,
nationally accepted the gospel of salvation, but our people? Within 10
years of Christ's death - Glastonbury. Acceptance of - the Reformation,
the open Bible, rediscovery of justification by faith. Missionaries
sent to the four corners of the earth.
Colonialism today, is often
looked on as a dirty word, and sometimes mistakes were made, but everywhere the
soldiers went the missionaries followed right after, building the churches, the
schools, hospitals, etc. Freeing slaves, breaking dictatorships and
setting the captives free.
If there's an earth quake,
disaster or famine, who does the world come to for aid? Anglo -
Saxon Israel are the first ones there. Even the children of Ishmael in the
Middle East turn to us for help (Kuwait).
Ninety-five percent (95%) of all
missionary activity carried out in the world today is by the literal seed of
Abraham. We have more churches in New Guinea than we have in Australia.
Why? Because we are fulfilling prophecy.
GEOGRAPHICALLY where:
Islands north and west of Palestine. The
concept that Israel is in the Middle East is a misconception.
Isa 41:1
1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
(KJV)
Isa 41:12
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of
nought.
(KJV)
Isa 51:5
5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
(KJV)
The Hebrew language has no word
'Northwest'. They had to say, 'north and west'. The first Islands you come
to going directly NW of Palestine are the British Isles.
PEOPLE BLIND:
Rom 11:25
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
(KJV)
The Jews are always scoffing about who they are.
Isa 42:19
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?
(KJV)
Isa 43:8
8 Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
(KJV)
WHAT'S THE USE OF ALL
THIS?......It proves the Bible is true and that God can be trusted. If He
couldn't keep His word to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, how do you know He will keep
His word to you? Your own salvation could be in serious jeopardy.
He will keep all His promises.
Eternal life, healing, victory over Satan.
It's not your identification
that takes you into the Kingdom but your obedience and repentance. When
Israel sinned they needed a Saviour and He came in the Person of Jesus Christ.
