AT A TIME WHEN MANY THOUSANDS OF GOD’S PEOPLE are beginning to realize we are in danger of going into captivity under aliens, it is well that someone injects into their thinking a reason why we might be in such danger. Yes I know, many are saying the danger of conquest faces us because we’ve coddled our enemies, both outside the nation and inside. Or that our enemies are too wicked and cunning, they overcome us through the sheer weight of their lies and deception. And their solution, usually, is a form of Paul Revereism — wake up the people, and tell them what is happening; the people will rise up and save America.

Of course, many others who realize this, will admit that America is in danger of being conquered. But it is not only no fault of mine, it is of no concern of mine. Before America is conquered or destroyed, I will be gone in the Rapture. And after all, America is wicked, and deserves destruction anyway. The people who are left, after I leave in the Rapture, will get only what they have deserved, because they didn’t believe in my Christ so they could escape with me in the Rapture.

In both cases, the one who knows the conquest may come, and thinks we can put it off only by our own overt action against the enemy, and the one who cares not that it may come because he’ll be gone; in most cases, credit the One Worlders with the power to bring about the defeat of America. In the first case, they give God little or no credit for what is happening. In the second case, they give God no credit for the possible future conquest, only for having prepared an escape hatch for a handful of people. All other events seem to them to be controlled by someone or something other than God.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO OPINIONS IN CIRCULATION ABOUT THE NAME OF ZEDEKIAH’S DAUGHTER, through whom the Royal Descent from David was transferred from Palestine to Britain: was she Tea‑Tephi or Scota? The Federation’s Committee on Teaching has been looking into this question with a view to clarification and the correction of any erroneous ideas that have been published in the past.

Ever since the publication in 1840 of John Wilson’s book Our Israelitish Origin, it has been realised that the Royal House of Britain must have been descended from the Biblical House of David to whom God made promises of an enduring dynasty. Since our own royal house can, without difficulty, trace its ancestry back to the ancient kings of Ireland, it was necessary to find a connecting link with Zedekiah, the last king of Judah. The Bible tells us that all his sons were slain, but that the king’s daughters were taken to Egypt with Jeremiah, after which no more was heard of them (Jer. 43:5‑7).

Most Jews and Christians know the basic story of the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt, in which Moses took his people on a march through the Red Sea to freedom in the Promised Land. But there is another exciting and little known part of the story, telling of the Hebrew Tribe of Dan who sailed away from Egyptian bondage to the land of Greece to found the ancient Hellenic civilization. Biblical prophecies were fulfilled by them also!

IN THE DAYS OF THE PHARAOHS, we read of an adventurous hero named Danaos and his followers who dwelled in Egypt. Then came an event — or series of events now corrupted by the mists of time — which caused them to be exiled by the Egyptians. Recorded history then tells us that they boarded ships in Egypt and sailed away to establish new homes in Greece.

The beginning of Greek history is often dated to this “exile” of Danaos and his followers — called Danaoi or Danaan — from Egypt. This event has been dated by historians to about 1450 to 1493 B.C. However, it is significant that the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt is dated to the very same time period: 1447 to 1491 B.C. Are these two events related? Could indeed the Danaan “exile” from Egypt have been a part of the Hebrew “Exodus”? An analysis of ancient records indicates that this was indeed the case.

On 9th December 1917, Jerusalem fell to the British and in an interview with the Evening Standard, in 1920, Max Nordau, cofounder of the Zionist Movement, in 1897, held ‘we thought that the Messiah would be an individual, but I feel now as if it were a collective entity, and that its name might be the British Nation[1]’.

This one statement vindicated just under 80 years of campaigning for the British-Israel movement, not an Anglo-Jewish organisation as one might expect but a movement that believed the British were the “chosen race”, not the Jews and believed the return to Palestine of the British and Jews together would bring about the Second Coming. Despite the plethora of primary documentation, very little has been written on the role of this movement in the nineteenth century.

Throughout Anglo-Zionist literature and biographies of great Victorian statesmen there is little or no mention of this movement, which according to the Jewish Encyclopaedia (1901) had over 2 million adherents. Despite an extensive press and books, they didn’t quite make it into mainstream politics as an organisation, However, some of their members were very influential and included some of the Royal Family.

From their literal interpretation of Hebrew scripture within an predominantly Anglican umbrella, they certainly thought they knew where the country was going so perhaps that took away their incentive for power. What I have tried to do in this long essay is to assess from a snapshot of 19th century British-Israel publications how they reacted to and tried to influence the political world. How they manipulated biblical prophecy into a “we told you so” result, how British-Israel attempted to show that the writings and addresses of public men bore undersigned testimony to the contentions of their movement offering ‘blind’ evidence and how, strangely, after 80 years of campaigning they were very nearly proved right.

Altholz defines British-Israel as a variety of British nationalism buttressed by biblical references
with all the attributes of a religious movement except religion[2].

The predominate idea of the British-Israel movement was that Great Britain was the home of one or all lost tribes of Israel implying that the inhabitants were God’s Chosen People. It’s prime source of appeal, to advocates, was that it sought to affirm biblical prophecy directed specifically to the Anglo-Saxon race and a unique covenant, with God, marking out the elite nature of that race.

Against a background of British ascendancy, over the course of the nineteenth century, into the largest empire in recorded history, the concept of being a ‘chosen people’ was attractive. This was fuelled by new ideas of evolution and racial superiority imbuing British society with a duty to spread a superior culture, system and way of life to less developed societies epitomized in Rudyard Kipling’s White Man’s Burden. The Royal Geographical Society had claimed, in 1891,
that ‘On the topmost round of the ladder stands the Anglo-Saxon’ an opinion supported by
Gladstone’s assertion that ‘Our race constitutes a kind of universal church in Politics’[3].

THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE LEARNT THE BRITISH ISRAELITE STANCE AS TO THE ISRAELITE, ask, namely., what part has the German folk?

This book is all the more mark-worthy for those who’s outlook is shaped by the Armstrong’s World Wide Church of God. Some may be shocked whilst others may be thrilled to learn of God’s plan for the Germans in his time spell (history).

This book was first printed in German for a German readership and is thus written in the setting of, “we” “us” or “our” German culture, time spell and so forth…

ADAM DE WITT was born of emigrant parents who huddled many a night under the stairs of their town house whilst bombs rained down , laying waste their once lovely city At the age of eleven his family was again on the move leading to a life of dwelling in several countries and visiting many others besides In all he visited 30 lands, studying their histories and gaining first hand experiences of how the world ticks’.

His higher education was in European colleges and his early career was in Europe’s film industry where he experienced unusually hidden matters for the first time.

Although his forebears were Christians, his parents were typical of the between war generation for whom Christianity made way for socialism. Brought up as a socialist, evolutionist and humanist, Adam never even saw a Bible until his late twenties.

When Paul preached the gospel at Rome, where was Peter? Why is the book of Acts strangely silent about the twelve apostles after their departure from Palestine? Here, revealed at last, is one of history’s best-kept secrets! WHY HAS the truth about the journeys of the twelve apostles been kept from public knowledge? You read plainly of Paul’s travels through Cyprus, Asia Minor, Greece, Italy. But the movements of the original twelve apostles are cloaked in mystery. Why?
Now It Can Be Told!
Did it ever seem strange to you that most of the New Testament, following the book of Acts, was written by Paul, and not by Peter? Did you ever wonder why, after Peter initiated the preaching of the gospel to the Gentiles at the house of Cornelius (Acts 10 and 11), he and others of the twelve apostles suddenly vanish from view? And why only Peter and John reappear, for a fleeting moment, in Jerusalem at the inspired conference recorded in Acts 15?
You read, after Acts 15, only of Paul’s ministry to the GENTILES. Why? What happened to the twelve apostles?

IN CHRIST IN BRITAIN WE ESTABLISHED THAT A MAN NAMED JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA WAS THE VIRGIN MARY’S UNCLE. It was he, along with St. John who buried Jesus after the crucifixion. Joseph, in the tin trade, made a lot of trips to Britain, where being a rich merchant made close contact with British Royalty; namely Kings Beli, Lud, Llyr and Arviragus, who gave Joseph and his companions some 2000 acres of land, tax free. On these trips to Britain, Joseph took Jesus, as we showed through many geographical, historical and traditional references. The details of this study are taken mainly from “The Drama of the Lost Disciples”, by George F. Jowett. The four main topics of this page are God’s plan of Trusteeship, Joseph’s Company of disciples coming to Britain, the outflow of Missionaries from Glastonbury, and why England was chosen for the sanctuary of Christanity.Historians William of Malmesbury, Maelgwyn of Llandaff and Polydore Vergil all place Joseph of Arimathea at Glastonbury. Even the four Church councils of Pisa 1409, Constance 1417, Sienna 1424 and Basle 1434, mention that “the Churches of France and Spain must yield in points of antiquity and precedence to that of Britain as the latter Church was founded by Joseph of Arimathea immediately after the passion of Christ.”

SCHOOLBOYS KNOW THE LETTER WRITTEN BY CARACTACUS TO CLAUDIUS CAESAR. But not everyone knows the letter, written about a century earlier, from Cassilbellaunus to Julius Caesar. This is no doubt because it does not come to us from Latin sources. It is given in full by Geoffrey of Monmouth, the twelfth-century writer who, despite his detractors, possessed three advantages: he studied under his uncle, Uchtryd, Bishop of Llandaff, in South Wales; he was himself Bishop of St. Asaph, in North Wales; he also possessed an ancient manuscript from Brittany, which he quotes widely. From any of these sources he could have obtained a copy of the letter of Cassibeliaunus which we quote:

Cassibelaun, king of the Britons, to Calus Julius Caesar. We cannot but wonder, Caesar, at the avarice of the Roman people, since their insatiable thirst after money cannot let us alone whom the dangers of the ocean have placed in a manner out of the world; but they must have the presumption to covet our substance, which we have hitherto enjoyed in quiet. Neither is this indeed sufficient; we must also prefer subjection and slavery to them, before the enjoyment of our native liberty.

RECENTLY THERE CAME INTO OUR POSSESSION A BOOKLET WIDELY CIRCULATED IN NORTHERN IRELAND, written by Mr. W. ). McCormick, M.R.C.V.S., supposedly to expose the teachings of Herbert Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God. Normally such a publication would not have aroused our interest, Mr. Armstrong being quite capable of defending his own sect and their beliefs, however Mr. McCormick has seen fit to devote some nine pages of his book to an attack on the Gospel of the Kingdom, or as he is pleased to term it, British Israelism, specifically naming one group, its magazine and its foremost speaker. Many baseless, inaccurate and unscriptural statements are made as Mr. McCormick turns vainly in one direction after another, seeking to disprove that the descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel are found to day in the nations of Celto-Anglo-Saxondom.

Such an attack comes as no surprise to us, since all down the centuries those who have dared to break with the vain traditions and dogmas of men and to stand for the Truth which God Almighty has, by the Holy Spirit, been pleased to progressively reveal, have all suffered scorn, ridicule, and where circumstances permitted, outright persecution. Martin Luther, the Wesleys, General Booth and George Jeffreys all endured the same opposition and misrepresentation as we do today in our stand for the Israel Identity Truth. After prayerful consideration we have therefore decided to take up the pen in defence of the Identity Message, because we are convinced that to allow such an attack to go unanswered would be dishonouring to God and His Word in which are exhorted to:-

“contend earnestly for the faith” and to:-

“be ready always to give an answer to any man concerning the hope that is within us”

PREFACE

THE FOLLOWING LECTURE WAS DELIVERED AT THE REQUEST OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE’S SOCIETY OF STANLEY STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, Montreal, in the Lecture Room of the Church, on Monday evening, January 14th, 1878. The room was well filled by a very respectable, intelligent, and apparently appreciative audience.

I have, in the treatment of the subject, laid under contribution the writings of E. W. Bird, late of Her Majesty’s Judicial Service in India; Bishop Titcomb of Rangoon and others and I would recommend the study of a Book entitled the “ Anglo- Israel Post Bag,” and a pamphlet entitled, “Is it reasonable,” both by Bishop Titcomb; also the Clifton Chronicle letters by “Philo- Israel,” and a publication «lied the “Banner of Israel.” In these will be found the whole theory argued in all its phases—Prophetical, Historical, Ethnological, and Philological. I am perfectly satisfied that had Professor Campbell eschewed the writings of Mr. Hine and studied the writings of those whose learning and attainments according to the Professor’s standard entitle them to some respect, he Would in them have found opponents much more worthy of his steel.

This lecture is published at the request of numerous friends of the “Identity Cause,” in the hope that it may prove of some service to those who are seeking after the truth in this connection.
