Britain's National Heritage
By Margaret Linda Morgan
There exists irrefutable evidence to prove that the British and related Anglo-Saxon Celtic peoples are the literal descendants of the Israelites of the Old Testament. Furthermore, the ancestry of our own Royal Family can be traced back to King David through the Sceptre Line - the Tribe of Judah. History, archaeology, ethnology, etymology, place names, Bible time measures and heraldry all prove conclusively our Israelitish identity.
One of the most serious doctrinal errors in present day theology is the assumption that the "Jews" are the only remaining representatives of the twelve tribes of Israel. However, most Jews today have no racial claim to the seed of Abraham and are proselytes - members of other races who have adopted or converted to the Jewish faith. None of the prophecies, promises or covenants made to Abraham has been or is fulfilled in the people known as the Jews today.
Thousands of years ago, God formed a nation of twelve tribes - the Israelites - His servant nation destined to accomplish His plan and purposes on earth and to be a national demonstration of His Kingdom and Laws. This nation eventually divided into two separate and distinct kingdoms - the ten-tribed House of Israel in the North and the two-tribed House of Judah in the South. Each kingdom was to pursue a different destiny with specific tasks and responsibilities. The tiny Israeli state in Palestine today, formed by the United Nations in 1948, has no part or place in this Great Commission.
Who then and where are the descendants of the twelve tribes of Israel today? The Bible, when accurately interpreted, provides the answer while secular history substantiates and confirms the Word of God. The ten tribes of the House of Israel have certainly not vanished from existence nor are they 'lost' among the nations as every history of theology book would have you believe. On the contrary, after the captivities, exile and dispersion of the children of Israel, the ten northern tribes with a portion of the House of Judah migrated through Russia and across Europe under many different names, finally becoming known as the Angles, Saxons (sons of Isaac), Jutes, Danes (Tribe of Dan), Vikings and Normans. Tribe after tribe arrived in these islands over a period of centuries to mingle with the earlier Celtic - settlers - also of Israelite descent.
The preservation and re-gathering of Israel in these British Isles affirm God's Covenant promises made to our forefathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David and His prophets. Only Britain has 'Great' as part of her title and has become a 'Nation and a Company of Nations.' Her coat of arms contains the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and the Unicorn of Ephraim - the Birthright Tribe. Great Britain alone bears all the identity marks of Israel and has played a unique role in world history.
Almighty God has blessed and protected us in remarkable ways - the Spanish Armada, at Waterloo, on the Western Front and at Dunkirk, when God intervened miraculously to preserve this nation in the face of defeat. Why? Because we are God's Covenant people - and this is your heritage!
Jesus Christ A Jew?Christ had no earthly father. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit (see Luke 1: 26-35). God the Father confirmed it as such at the baptism of Jesus in the river Jordon, by John the Baptist. ‘And suddenly a voice came from heaven saying,’ “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17).
As far as His mother Mary was concerned, as a man Jesus was a pure descendent of the House of David, who in turn was a pure descendent of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob and therefore a pure Israelite not a Jew.
There were no Jews before the Babylonian captivity of the House of Judah. David was not a Jew because the Jews had not yet come into existence. It was not until after the return from Babylon, that they became known as Jews. It was after this return that many impure elements were taken up in the bloodline of the Jews. For example we can read in the time of Esther,… ‘And many people of the land (Persians) became Jews, for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.’ (Esther 8:17) A Persian could not change his nationality, but he could change his religious views.
By the time Jesus was born nearly 500 years later, many other foreigners had entered that part of the House of Judah as they returned to Palestine. However, God had promised Israel, “For surely I will command, and sift the House of Israel among all nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground.” (Amos 9:9). This means that the Lord had promised that He would see to it that throughout the centuries and right through all their wanderings, there would always be a pure remnant preserved from each tribe, so preserving the nation as a pure race, however small their numbers may be.
Therefore, it was the same with the birth of Jesus. He could not have been a descendent, from His human side of the Jews because their blood was mixed. He had to be born of a family line of which the descent, pure and unadulterated, could be traced back as far as David. That was not only to make Him a pure son of David according to the Scriptures, but also a pure Israelite according to the Covenant. Nowhere did God make a Covenant with the Jews. Jesus said to the Jews, “That the Kingdom would be taken away from them and given to a nation that would bring forth the fruits thereof.” (Matthew 21:43).
This is the reason why the descent of Jesus is so accurately traced through Mary from whom He was born after the flesh and even of Joseph (who had nothing to do with the conception). By studying the genealogy of Mary and Joseph as you find them in (Matthew 1:1-17) and (Luke 3:23-38) you will see no foreign blood entered into the blood stream of Jesus, as far as His humanity and incarnation is concerned. The Jews were and are a mixed race, apart from a small element which has a pure lineage and can trace their ancestry to the House of Judah.
The Jews in the days of Jesus called Him of the devil, but never, but never a Jew. They did not recognise Him as their King. In John it says, ‘And it was the preparation of the Passover and about the sixth hour: and he (Pilate) saith onto the Jews, “Behold your King!” But they cried out, “Away with Him away with Him, crucify Him.” Pilate saith unto them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priest answered, “We have no king but Caesar!” (John 19:14-15).
Furthermore, nowhere in Scripture did Jesus call himself a Jew; neither did any of His family, disciples, neighbours or fellow citizens ever refer to Him as a Jew. Jesus never spoke about the Jews as being His people, nor the Jewish people being His nation. In fact Jesus said: “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel.” (Matthew 15:24).
Unfortunately, most Christian churches today claim that Jesus was a Jew as this is the most popular and accepted point of view. However, they are both blind and ignorant of the truth. There is in fact, a devilish campaign to conceal the evidence and belittle Jesus by calling Him a Jew, as we know Jews today. Nathanael, an Israelite, addressed Jesus in these words “Thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.” Jesus accepted this acknowledgement.
There is a vast difference between a Jew and an Israelite. A Jew can be an Israelite if he is a pure descendent of Jacob and therefore of pure Israel descent. However, no Jew can call himself an Israelite when he has blood of other nations in his veins or if he has merely adopted the Jewish faith. Jesus is the King of Israel – those which have the pure blood of Israel in their veins.
The twelve tribes of Israel are today the Anglo-Saxon Celtic peoples found in Scandinavian, Germanic and Holland/Dutch peoples and headed up in Great Britain together with the British Commonwealth – Canada, Australia, New Zealand, white South Africa etc. and in the vast population of the U.S.A. This amazing truth is the key to understanding of all Scripture and prophecy. It also establishes beyond a shadow of doubt, not only the true identity of Israel but also Jesus Christ.
