When I was a boy, the United States of America was
composed of the lower 48 states. Its population was about 88% white. The
majority of that white population was Germanic in racial origin. The second
highest percentage was of Keltic origin. As I believe that the Germanic people
descended from the Northern Kingdom of Israel, which is a well-supported
assertion, I also believe that the Abrahamic Promises and Inheritance fell upon
them as an inheritance. Since, at his death-bed in Egypt, Jacob-Israel placed
his hands upon the sons of Joseph, passing over his first-born, to bestow his
blessings, the Abrahamic Promises and Inheritance fell upon them particularly.
Parenthetically, a British anthropologist named Parker
discovered that the skulls of the people living in the lands at the time of the
Israelites were Nordic. Hence, it would be expected that, if the Israelites
migrated from the Assyrian Captivity into Europe, their presence would be
signaled by Nordic skulls, which was the case.
During the period prior to and during the Assyrian
Captivity which saw the vast population of the Northern Kingdom taken into
bondage, the Israelites were known to their enemies by such names as “Sachs,” “Sacs,”
and the like, which would be natural for the sons of Isaac, as the vowel would not
be written. Further, Scripture states that by Isaacs name would the People of
God be known, so the Most High has provided a legal witness to the matter.
Further, Omri, one of the kings of the Northern Kingdom
of Israel, was referenced by Israel’s enemies by terms for the Israelites of “Khumry,”
“Chumri,” “Qumri,” and the like. The Cimmerians were certain to be a variation
of these terms, as in “Chummeri,” “Qummeri” and the like. Among the terms used
to indicate an Israelite was a variation of “Schythi,” which became better
known as Scythian.
Further, the heart of the Parthian Empire was another
group of Israelites. Not surprisingly, they generally worked closely with the
Scythians. The Parthian Empire was fully the equal to the Roman Empire. The
Romans never conquered Parthia and were defeated by the Parthians in battle as
often as savoring a victory over them. Interestingly, the Israelite people were
typically in a hostile posture to the Romans, as revealed by the Germanic Wars
with the Roman Empire, as well as lesser strife in the remnant land of the
Southern Kingdom of Judah. Indeed, in a sense the Protestant-Catholic wars were
a continuation of this seemingly ancient enmity between Israel and Rome.
It might be well to mention that during the various
Assyrian intrusions into the land of the Israelites, the Assyrians did not
limit enslavement of Israelites of the Northern Kingdom, but, also, they took
into bondage two-hundred thousand Judahites from the outlying regions of the
Southern Kingdom. This was proclaimed by one of the Assyrian kings on an
obelisk, which served him (and them) as a sort of historical “show & tell”
of his glorious reign. Hence, it can be inferred from all this that the great
bulk of existing Israelites were spread north, northeast and northwest of the
Assyrians and were intended to be a buffer stratum geopolitically.
The Bible does not address this matter directly, making
only prophetic comments that would be pointless if the objective situation did
not exist. Although the Gospels barely hint at this situation, the Epistles
more clearly reveal the great truth that “Israel Lives!”
Further still, two sons of Judah, the son of
Jacob-Israel, appear to have gone to Iberia and Hibernia with their entourage.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Ireland not only became a colony of
Hebrews but of the lawful seed of Judah as well. Since the calamity that befell
the Southern Kingdom of Judah resulted in the migration of Jeremiah and the two
royal daughters eventually to Iberia and Hibernia (according to scant
references and legend). One of the daughters married an Irish descendant from
the son of Judah referenced earlier. This royal seed of Judah eventually made
its way to Scotland and then to England.
During the 18th & 19th Centuries
famous linguists such as General Charles Vallancey, Lord Rosse and Sir William
Bentham noted the close affinity of Hebrew and Celtic words and phrases. George
Rawlinson concluded that “readily explicable, if Hebrew be assumed as the key
to them, but not otherwise.” [Phoenicia, p. 327] For example, in Druidism Revised Dr. Beauford stated, “It
is remarkable that all the ancient altars found in Ireland, and now
distinguished by the name of Cromlechs or sloping stones, were originally
called Bothal, or the House of God, and they seem to be of the same species as
those mentioned in the Book of Genesis, called by the Hebrews, Bethel, which
has the same signification as the Irish Bothal.” As may be recalled, the
coronation of Hebrew kings took place on or adjacent to such stones. Indeed,
Jacob’s Pillar was thought to be the very same Stone of Scone, brought by
Jeremiah at the time of the royal flight from Jerusalem, and used during
Scottish and English coronations.
A caveat: Be especially cautious when considering
information by a “scholar” who uses the words Hebrew, Israel and Jew as
synonyms, as they are not. Indeed, the first mention of the word Jews in Holy Scriptures (Kings)
suggested that they lived below the borders of the Kingdom of Judah [in Eilat],
which would be the expectation regarding Judah’s sons by his Canaanite wife,
Sura. As half Canaanite, they would exist outside the congregation of Israel,
according to law.
Interestingly, the Hebrew translation of Eilat is behind. That is where it geographically appeared relative to the
Southern Kingdom. It was next to Edom [“Edom is red” (Bible)], the home of
Esau. Since Esau had married Canaanite women [causing his mother Rebecca to
weep], it seemed especially congenial for the sons of Judah and Sura to take up
residence there.
Also, since Amalek, seed of Edom, was famed for attacking
the rear of the Israelites, who were being led by Moses, his style of attack
has a curious affinity with the Jews of Eilat, meaning “behind.” Factor in the
notorious Canaanite cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and one finds still more “food
for thought.”
Be that as it may, from this linguistic and cultural relationship
cited above, one can perceive support for the idea that Ireland was a Hebrew
colony, as well as the “safe harbor” of the royal remnant of the Southern
Kingdom. Eventually, the Germanic tribes would also invade Keltic Britain and
inadvertently create a new Israelite “Land of Milk and Honey.” Usually, the
Angles and Saxons [“Sacs-sons”] have been cited in general histories of England
as the invading Germanic tribes, but the Normans were as well. At any rate,
Western Europe settled into a more or less homogenous religio-cultural union.
Yet, the Biblically correct new “Promised Land” was
America. It was here that Ephraim and Manasseh migrated – first in a trickle
and then in a flood. All the Tribes of Israel made their way in part to this
Promised Land [Samuel II] to be re-planted. These were Israel Christian. Paul
the Epistlist had opined that being fleshly descendants of Abraham was not
enough; he stated that they must also have Yshua. They came as Christians, as many
were unaware of their descent – less they be vain in their imaginings.
When the Israelites came out of Egypt, they were
accompanied by a “mixed multitude” who were “nettles” and “thorns” to the
Israelites. Many centuries later, when Israel Christian came out of other lands
into the Promised Land of their re-planting, they found hostile peoples here
and there. As time went by, these Israelite Christians would sin brazenly. They
were punished by a new mixed multitude rising up in their midst. These would
become “thorns” and “nettles” to the Israelite Christians.
The leaders of the Israelite Christians welcomed into the
new Promised Land the sons of Edom, Amalek and Eilat, and before long, their
children followed after strange gods. The new Promised Land no longer seemed as
promising. It was always at war, always becoming more indebted, and had become the
“booty” of any pirate people nearby. Oh, yes. The Israelite Christians were
blamed for the blemishes of the mixed multitude. Even so, repenting, they could
count on a Friend in High Places. Not a bad deal, when you think about it.
