Christ will sit on DAVID’S THRONE.…

Is the BRITISH THRONE, as some claim, the “Throne of David”?
Why does God call that Throne the “Throne of the LORD”?
How did it get from Jerusalem to London, England?

IS THERE BIBLICAL AND HISTORICAL EVIDENCE SHOWING THAT, IN THE 6TH CENTURY BC, the throne of David was transferred from the land of Israel to the British Isles? If so, how did that come about? Tracing back the history of the British Throne—from England to Scotland, then to Ireland, and back still further to the ancient KINGDOM OF JUDAH, is a most fascinating task!

But it is impossible to comprehend the true DIVINE ORIGIN of the British Throne without first grasping certain biblical prophecies which, over 3500 years ago, accurately foretold first the rise, then the PERPETUITY of that ancient Davidic Dynasty!

A Gripping Ancient Prophecy!

In approximately 1661 BC, the clan of Israel (or Jacob) journeyed to Egypt, where they remained for about 215 years (cf. Gen. 15:13-15; Exod. 12:1-42; Gal. 3:17). Just before his death, circa 1634 BC, the elderly Patriarch Jacob, under divine inspiration, blessed his twelve sons. To his son Judah, he said, “JUDAH is a lion’s whelp…. And as a lion, who shall rouse him? The Sceptre shall not depart from JUDAH nor a lawgiver [‘ruler’s staff] from between his feet, until SHILOH comes” (Gen. 49:10). That intriguing prophetic statement raises two important questions:

This analysis of the legends connected with the Coronation Stone was read by the author, as Senior Vice-President of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, at a Meeting of the Society held on the 8th of March last.

A limited impression is now published with Notes and Illustrations.

BIBLE GLEANINGS AND MEANINGS

ISAIAH XLVL, 10—“I am God, and there is none like Me: declaring the end from the beginning.”

Isa. xiv., 24.—“Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand.”

Gen. xvii., 6.—“Kings shall come out of thee ” (Abraham).

Gen. xvii., 16.—“Kings of peoples shall be of her” (Sarah).

Gen xxxv., 11.—“Kings shall come out of thy loins” (Jacob).

I. Chron. v., 2.—“Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the prince.”

Gen. xxxviii.—Twins (Pharez or Peres and Zarah or Zerah), born of Tamar the Hebrew, and Judah. Peres, ancestor of the Davidic Royalties to Zedekiah and his spared daughters, also of the Messiah, through David’s son Nathan, none of which line have yet reigned.

Zerah (with the scarlet thread), ancestor of the other Royal lines. The rank and file of Judah have descended from Judah’s Canaanite wife and daughter-in-law.

Gen. xlix., 8.—“Judah (praise) thee shall thy brethren praise. (To Royal section.)

I print these Lectures, on the “Lost Tribes of Israel,” delivered long years ago, for a double purpose.

FIRST, to add my feeble protest against what is known, in these days, as the “Higher Criticism”; which, propped by great names, is undermining the faith of many in the authenticity and inspiration of the Old Testament Scriptures. If unchecked, it promises to leave us without any “Holy Bible,” at all.

SECONDLY, I would like to help on, in a small way, the growing good feeling between the two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon family; that now, by constant travel, association, and especially by intermarriages, gives promise of ultimate close affiliation, and co-operation, in advancing the welfare of “all the families of the Earth.”

I think, I prove, in this little booklet, that this is the “manifest destiny,” because the Scripturally foretold mission, of the English speaking race.
