LOST TRIBES
RADIO SERIES
OVERVIEW PART TWO
Good morning. It’s time to stretch with Jack ministry and philosopher of the Bible. This is Jack and we’re back with history and philosophy of the Bible. And before we get started I want to remind you that the views expressed on this program are those of the speaker’s and not necessarily those of KMUD, It’s staffed with the under writers.
We’re still in a little dilemma here from last week. We’ve got in our overview, we’ve got a bunch of people who need a king and don’t have one. And a bunch of people who are supposed to support a king and having trouble doing that because they’re all killed off. We’ll get into that in a couple of minutes. Care to listen while you read?
[From 2 to 7 minutes of announcements. Resume at 7:42]
Okay. Let’s get into the second part of our overview. Last week, we started to get an overview of a study unit that we’re going to be doing on this show. I,t has to do with the history of the kingdom of Israel mainly, somewhat with the kingdom of Judah. The two kingdoms that are listed in the Bible that have God’s “chosen people” involved with them. We want to – – we’re going to mainly deal with the kingdom of Israel but the kingdom of Judah is an integral part of the whole historical picture. And let’s see.
Last week we spoke about several, I wanted to give a very brief review. We ended with the origins of the Celts and found that we have somewhat of a dilemma because the kings of Judah, the kingdom of Judah, the people of that tribe were supposed to be the people who reigned. The reigning or the ruling family that was supposed to rule over the whole nation of Israel came from the kingdom of Judah, but we also found that the Assyrians had come and taken away the northern kingdom of Israel. And not only that, but as we pick this up – this historical study – as we pick this up, what we find is that not only is the do we find the nation of Israel gone and unable to be ruled over, but the kingdom of Judah has been conquered and taken into captivity by Nebuchadnezzer, the emperor of Babylon, the Babylonian empire and now we’ve really got a problem.
In Genesis 49, that is a problem here because in Genesis 49 and in I Chronicles 5 it talks about the separation of the birthright. You see in biblical times, as in some country now days, the right of primogenitor was what was in operation. What that , means is a fancy name for the first born gets it all. The first-born son inherits everything – inherits all the land, inherits all the cattle, all the money, all the possessions, and along with that the right to rule the family, to be king of the family is one way to put it, but that’s not quite right, but it’s very understandable at least. He has the right to rule the family.
Well, normally what passes down from father to the first son, first born son. What we find in Genesis 49 and in 1 Chronicles 5 that when Jacob who had his name changed to Israel which can be quite confusing at a lot of times – – Jacob split the birthright into two different sections and one section, the section of ruling the family, being the king and making the rules that will governor the family or the kingdom – – those rights all went to the son called Judah. He will the fourth born son, not the first born. Some other stuff happened and the first three kids passed up their a chance to get the birthright and Jacob or Israel gave the rulership and the law making to his son, his fourth-born son Judah. That’s all he gave him. All the rest of the birthright – – the land, the cattle, the money, all his possessions and the main blessings to come in the future – all went to his 11th born son Joseph who was Jacob’s favorite son, or Israel favorite son.
Now some of the things that were included in that birthright with the exception of the ruling part of it, were all of the promises and prophecies and promises of blessing passed down b by God and the other patriarchs before the birthright split because God made certain promises to Abraham and then Abraham passed those along to Isaac through the right of primogenitor, but certain blessings came after and were added on top of that. And Isaac gave a certain blessings, Jacob gave some blessings. Later on, even Moses before he died gave blessings to all the different tribes and all of these blessings had God’s sanction. And with that sanction , they became promises that these things whatever was being said be carried out to the people that they were promised to. And in this case, what we’re talking about is all the promises that were made outside of the rulership and law making, the promises made to Joseph.
But some of the promises made to Abraham were that his descendants would be a company of nations. One account says multitude of nations. Well, that means a world empire, you know, more than one nation ruling as a world empire
Another promise is that, birthright promise, is that these people would possess the gates of their enemies whatever that means, “possess the gates of their enemies.”
The third promise would be that, this was to Abraham, possessing the gates of their enemies went to Abraham, but it came before Israel, Jacob.
The third promise that we looked at last week was that Abraham’s descendents would be a multitude of people so numerous that they’d be like the stars of the heaven or the sand of the sea. And another account says the dust of the earth so that you couldn’t number them, there’d be so many.
Another promise that we talked about last week was that they would push other people to the ends of the earth. They’d be colonizers they’d send out colonies all over the place.
Well all of those promises, all four of those promises are on Joseph’s side of passing down the birthright because Judah never got anything but the kingship and the law making so Joseph gets all of that stuff and after the kingdoms split, they come out of Egypt, they go into the Promised Land. They fight it out with the people, beat everybody in the wars and set up this one big kingdom, the kingdom of Judah and Israel if you want to call it that way, say it that way. Saul was the first king over this combined nation and then David was the second king and Solomon was the third king and that’s all they had as one big nation because as soon as Solomon dies, the two kingdoms split and become the kingdom of Judah and the kingdom of Israel.
Now, this is very pivotal point in the study of biblical history because mostly people pass over this fact that the house of Israel or the kingdom of Israel is viewed and acted upon as separate from the kingdom of Judah and because the kingdom of Judah later on became known as Jews, people go through the Bible and kind of figure things out. They’re there and when it says house of Israel, they automatically think Jews. And house of Israel never were Jews.
They never were called Jews so people, for years, have confused that and made mistakes in the interpretation of the birthright and the promises that were passed on to those people.
These promises that we are talking now are only applicable to the northern kingdom called the kingdom of Israel and the reason why it’s called the kingdom of Israel is because when Jacob adopted the two sons of Joseph, he passed along the birthright to Joseph except for the law making and the kingship and they passed along from Joseph to his first two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh.
Well, after the kingdom split, they even went to war. And the kingdom of Israel -- that’s Jacob’s name, Israel – see, because Ephraim and Manasseh took on Jacob’s name. He said these will be known as my name, by my name. That’s why they’re called the kingdom of Israel. The kingdom split. They went to war, the kingdom of Israel went to Syria and said, hey come and help us with this war against the Judahites. And eventually Judahites became Jews by name for the kingdom of Israel was never known as Jews.
And then finally what happens to further muddy the waters is that the Assyrians came, like I said, a little bit earlier and in 721 the final wave of captives was taken away out of the land of the kingdom of Israel, the geographical location, and they took the house of Israel and set it up between their enemies the Medes and them selves a buffer state. Now, if the Medes are going to come and attack, they gotta go through Israel first. Okay. So they’re gone. How can the house of Israel possess the gates of their enemies, if they are in bondage to the Assyrians. How can they – they might be able to become a multitude of people because people in captivity still had babies and on all that, but it’s not very likely. You know, concentration camps don’t produce a lot of kids. They certainly aren’t going to be a company of nations with so many gone. How can they be colonizers? Every one of those promises and a multitude of other promises that we haven’t even looked at yet.
So the point is if you make a hard study of the promises made to these people, you’re going to come up with the conclusion that the God of the Bible can’t keep his word. He can’t even keep some of these promises to these people. Now, people have lost confidence over these lost promises of the birthright.
And on the other side of the coin, traditional people, who want to believe the Bible and want to believe the God of the Bible, have twisted these things around, these promises around and applied them to people and organizations that don’t really fit. So any intelligent study of the promises and who is supposed to receive these promises comes up with a big chunk of confusion and you can’t sort it out because the Jews have never become a company of nations. The Jews have never possessed the gates of their enemies. The Jews have never been a colonizing force in the world. The Jews are not a population group so big that you can’t number them, that they’re like the stars of the heavens or the sands of the sea. Neither are any of those promises applicable to the traditional Christian church, which was never placed where a lot of people try to put these promises. And an intelligent look at the promises and the recipients of the promises says, no, it can’t be the church unless your trying to twist things around and make it fits. See? The traditional Christian church is not a colonizing force. Maybe a missionary force. You know they sent a lot of people around the world preaching about God and the God of the Bible and all that, but they’re not a colonizing force. Yaknow. The church. Some of these other promises have been put on Christ himself and that breaks down in a hurry. So here we are with this great dilemma happening.
Now to add insult to injury, we just started on some of these promises. There’s the promises to David. 2nd Samuel 7 has a very interesting passage. The prophet, Nathan, comes to David in the middle of the prosperity. David has welded the kingdom together and they’re doing just fine. He ruled for 70 years [I mis-spoke, here. It was only 40 years.]. He beat everybody in the area. The Philistines and the Ammonites and the Edomites and everybody. Nobody could touch him. They were impervious. They were very prosperous. The population was growing. They were – prosperity was blooming, see?
And this prophet comes and tells David that your kingdom is going to last forever. Well that sounds pretty good, but then he tells him that they’re gonna have a place of their own. Well, I thought they we’re in a place of their own. Didn’t they fight for years and years to we weld this kingdom together and beat all the people around him and have this prosperous thing happening. And he says, “No. Your gonna have a place of your own, and then you’ll move no more. And your enemies won’t bother you.” And a bunch of weird stuff this that this prophet is telling to David that doesn’t make a lot of sense. Within these promises, he tells David that God has said that David’s kingdom would never die, so to speak. That forever, some descendant of David would rule his throne, the rulership of David, the throne of Israel, so to speak, the throne of the nation of Israel would never die. It will never pass out of history. Well, we have enough promises to confuse the other person as it is. And now we got this “forever” promise. It’s unconditional. Well, don’t’ you know that today is part of forever.
So what does that mean for us today? That means in our study today, of the history of the Bible that we should be able to find, somewhere in today’s history, a king who is the direct descendant of David. Whose on the throne ruling someplace, a direct descendant of David is ruling today.
And not only that, he’s not or she’s not ruling over the black people of the earth because the Israelites – the nation of Israel, they weren’t out of the black people of the earth. They went out of the Mongoloid races of the earth – the Chinese and so forth. See. They’re gonna be ruling over the descendants of Israel, of the nation of Israel, not the descendants of somebody else. I mean that doesn’t make any sense and that’s supposed to be happening today. That’s a heavy prophecy. You’ve really got a dilemma there.
One thing we have to look at here is the law that’s listed as far as passing down and inheriting the things of the family. Mostly we think that it’s going to be the first born son. However, in Deuteronomy, you’ll find in the law that there was one family who came to Moses and said, “Hey Moses, all of the men are dead. Now, what do we do? We think it’s proper that we should inherit anyway.” The daughters were talking there. And Moses , the account says, consults with God, and God tells him, “Yeah, it’s okay. If the boys were all gone, the girls can inherit.” So that’s hidden down there in the law. Well, when Nebuchadnezzer comes and beats the kingdom of Judah and carries away hundreds of thousands of Jews into captivity into Babylon, just carried them right away leaves Jerusalem in a rubble, leaves the temple in a rubble, takes all of the good stuff out of the temple that he can get and all of the captives. There were just a very few, what’s called “have-nots” in Bible left over. None of the important people -- none of the skilled craftsmen, none of them. They all went into Babylon into bondage.
And Nebuchadnezzer – – he knew about these prophecies he knew that David had been promised that a descendant of his would reign forever and he doesn’t want to have any of that. So he took the king’s sons and killed them all. – – seven kids. Boom. Right in front of their eyes. Then he took him back to Babylon, put his eyes out, put him in prison, and he died there. Well, that it has a pretty effective way to cut off a line of kings, I tell you that. You know, there’s nobody left.
But his soothsayers and prophets told him right about the prophecies, but they didn’t go deep enough into the old writings to discover this Deuteronomic law that said the female could inherit if the male wasn’t available. So he was going by Babylonian law, which was strictly the son. If there wasn’t a son, no inheritance, you know. I don’t know what happened to it, but there was no inheritance. So he’s ignorant of that. And he kills off all the sons and puts the king in prison and he dies there and he thinks – – Nebuchadnezzer thinks that he’s cut off the line.
But he hasn’t, because Zedekiah, the king, also has at least two daughters. Probably only two, but at least two we can find out about them. Well, now there’s an out for this promise. Okay. And technically speaking, I guess you can say that if there’s a proper heir alive, then the rulership isn’t dead. Okay. The line isn’t cut off and the rulership isn’t dead.
Well, it just so happens that Jeremiah who also is one the main, major prophets and has a book in the Bible, you know, with lot of the chapters in it. He was the, according to my study, the grandfather-in-law of the king’s daughters. He was Zedekiah’s father-in-law, and he was entrusted with the safety of the daughters. I mean he worked right there, you know, in the court with the king and all that. He was right in here. So he was entrusted with their safety and he took them away. Well, we still have some kings then available. So the kingship is available according to the inheritance part.
Now, the evidence is that as far as the biblical record is concerned is that Jeremiah spends a little bit of time in the Promised Land for a while. The people come and say, “we want to know what to do. Ask God what we’re supposed to do. We want to go to Egypt.” And Jeremiah prays for a few days. And he comes back, and he says “Okay. I talked to God and God said, ‘Stay here and I’ll build you into a nation.’” And they said, “Oh no. We can’t do that because Nebuchadnezzer will come back and he’ll kill us all. We better go to Egypt.” And Jeremiah comes back with them and says, “No, you don’t go to Egypt. God said, if you go Egypt, you’ll die or get killed.” “Oh, well, oh gee, we’re gonna go anyway.”
Well, they went anyway and they all got killed. But in the process, Jeremiah’s along with this small group of people -- I don’t know exactly how big the -- how big the group of people is because it doesn’t list that particularly in the Bible. I would guess a few hundred maybe. Probably, no more than a thousand or so. There could have been 10,000, I guess, but that’s not really important, but what is important is that they go to Egypt.
And one account has Jeremiah coming back – they were there for about three years or so –coming back to Jerusalem and then disappearing from history. Another account doesn’t have him coming back. It has him going away and taking a lot of the religious relics and hiding them in the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments, and then getting lost. That’s one other account.
Well, it turns out that in secular history, we find a lot of evidence, an overwhelming amount of evidence that Jeremiah wound up in Ireland. Yeah, that’s pretty good isn’t it? He wound up in Ireland. Irish history which goes back, written history, which goes back to 500 plus B.C. states that this old man, called Ollum Folla – and there’s different spellings and pronunciations for that – showed up in Ireland with the king’s daughter and a bunch of religious relics and a guy named Samon Breck, his companion, sidekick, secretary, whatever-you want to call it. Well, Ollum Folla means nothing more than learned king anyway, prophet, some people interpret it as prophet. And what Jeremiah does is he takes this king’s daughter whose name is Tea Tephi – one of her names is Tea Tephi and marries her off to the high king of Ireland. Well, that’s an interesting twist. So we’ve got the inheritor of the kingship marrying this high king of Ireland.
Now, we weave another little thread in this tapestry. In the prophet Ezekiel, in his book, which is a very long book it’s one of the big major prophets of the Bible – he talks about the throne, the throne of the nation of Israel being overturned three times. Three overturns. This is a – you can find this in chapter 21 of Ezekiel. And it’s interesting in view of the context that we have going already that Jerusalem fell and the rulership was overturned by Nebuchadnezzer. Well, if Jeremiah took the heir, the inheritor of the kingdom to Ireland and married her off to the high king of Ireland, then that’s one over turn. The turns out that later on Eochaide, the high king of Ireland’s name, gave up the rulership to a guy named Fergus, Fergus the great in Scotland. So the ruler – so the symbolic ruling, the rulership of the original Israel, Israelite nation went from Jerusalem to Ireland and then went to Scotland. That was about a thousand years later in around 500. Then we have that ruling station, that ruler, that “throneship”, , if you will, moving from Scotland to England and Edward the 1st was the guy responsible for that.
Now, right there, you’ve got three overturns of the throne. The overturn of the throne from Jerusalem; the over turn of the same throne or kingship or symbolic bloodline, tracing through history, to Ireland, I mean, from Ireland to Scotland and the then from Scotland to England. We’ll count all that together later on too. Remember this is a over view. You can’t teach from an over view. All you can do is spit out all this information.
Now, have you ever considered the English royal family? I know that when I was in school, I don’t know exactly where in school, maybe it was junior high level when you start to study and talk about the histories of the world and the different nations of the world. This question comes up all the time, “Hey. This is crazy. What’s the king of England got to do with anything. You know. I mean they have a parliament. He doesn’t rule anything, you know. He can’t call out the army. He can’t call out the army. The king of England can’t make any of the laws. You know, parliament does all that. Don’t they have a prime minister. Yeah, it’s just like the United States. This extra person on top that looks like they’re running the country when they’re not. You know. Why bother having a king? What a useless thing! What a waste of money for the country and all of those questions come up. Well, English royalty is an anachronism in today’s world. You know, what good is it? We’ll follow a little bit about that after a few minutes.
One thing we have to consider is that this ruling line from the daughters through Ireland into Scotland and into England is a line of Pharez, P-H-A-R-E-Z and Pharez it was kind of like the unofficial line of Israel, of the ruling class of Israel. I want to get into that but not right now.
In Genesis 38, there’s a very interesting chapter. It’s God’s parenthesis – he sticks it in. Let me get my Bible here, and I want to do a little experiment. In Genesis 38 --you won’t have to get yours or anything. You can check this out after, after we get through. Genesis 38 doesn’t make any sense at all in the context. I want to read the last three verses of Genesis 37 and the first verse of Genesis 39 and see what happens.
Now, this is all about Joseph being in Egypt okay Joseph is going to Egypt. He’s been taken away and sold into bondage by his brothers. And Jacob, his father in verse 34 says and Jacob rent his clothes and put sack cloth upon his loins and mourned for his son many days cause he thought he was dead, see? And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him but he refused to be comfort and he said for I will go down to the grave, unto my son, mourning. Thus his father wept for him. And the Midianites sold him, that’s Joseph, into Egypt unto Potiphar an officer of Pharaoh’s and the captain of the guard. And Joseph was brought down to Egypt and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard an Egypt an bought him at the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. Now, doesn’t seem like there’s any break in the story at all. Except that the last thing that I read was chapter 39 already.
What happened to chapter 38? There’s this whole chapter that’s stuck right in the middle of the stare story of Joseph and it don’t doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Joseph at all. And yet it’s a big clue and it’s the story of Judah, remember him he’s the fourth born son of Jacob or Israel, and a person called Tamar. Tamar was Judah’s son[daughter]-in-law and if you read, Genesis 38, you’ll find another one of those dirty stories. Tamar, there’s a problem. We won’t go into it now, but there’s this problem with Tamar and the sons of Judah. Judah has three sons and he marries one off to Tamar and the kid dies because he’s bad. He marries another one off because in the, in the Jewish tradition, the brother has to marry the other brother’s wife and raise kids. Well, he does that but he does bad too and he dies. And Judah says, “Hey, you go to your father’s house. And you stay there until my third son is old enough and then we’ll marry him off. I don’t want him to die too.
So she goes away and she finds out that the third son is now old enough to be married. And Judah is not doing anything about that and he happens to be going along on a trip. So she goes and covers herself all up and sits by the road like a harlot. And Judah procures her services and gives her something in lieu of payment, some personal items.
Well, little while later, word comes back to Judah that his daughter-in-law is pregnant and he, “ bring her in here. We’re going to kill her. We’re going to burn her for that.” Well she comes in with his personal items. “Oh, are these yours?” He said, “Ah. Oops. Well okay. Go on get out of here. It’s okay.” The point of the whole thing is that Judah doesn’t have a son to pass along to these the rulership except through this woman, Tamar. And she has twins.
Well, here’s what happens with the twins. You know back in those days because of primogenitor, the midwife had to be very careful and be sure, you know, if there were twins, which one came first so that we could tell who gets the blessings and the birthright and all that stuff. Well, they knew they had twins coming out and while the birth is happening, an arm comes out first and true to her duties, the midwife ties a little scarlet cord around the arm you know and then the arm goes back in. Okay. They waited a while and then a whole baby comes out. But it’s not the baby with the read cord around the arm, around his wrist. They waited a while and another baby comes out and this one is the one with the red cord. So there’s always controversy. Who’s the Lord? Who has the right to the birthright, the right of primogenitor from Judah – is it the one with the scarlet cord or it the one who was born whole first and so forth. Well, it was the one who got the scarlet cord. That one is officially born first.
Now here’s why that’s important, because Joseph – get back to Joseph - he’s carried away to Egypt and through a set of incredible circumstances becomes the ruler of Egypt under the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh gives him absolute control of Egypt. He’s moving the people like checkers. He owns all the land he owns all the money. He owns all the cattle. He owns everything see and there’s this big famine going on and Jacob is down in the Promised Land or up in the Promised Land and they’re having trouble and Joseph finds out about it and the whole family gets moved down to Egypt. They give them the best land in Egypt, set them up, and they rule for a long time. Joseph rules for 80 years in Egypt.
He’s part of the Hyksos kings. There were two sets of kings. Hyksos kings that ruled Egypt “Hyksos” means shepherd. That’s all it means. Shepherd-kings and Joseph was part of the ruling Hyksos kings, the second set of them.
Well, you see when Joseph is ruling he’s like the unofficial Pharaoh, see? the word “Pharaoh” just means king. That’s all it means. The Pharaoh of Egypt, in other words. The king of Egypt. Well, Joseph was the unofficial Pharaoh of Egypt, and he was running everything and the real Pharaoh spent a lot of times in southern or upper Egypt, up on the plateau not down in the river, in the river Nile delta where Joseph was ruling.
Joseph ruled for 80 years, like I said, but they were in the land of Egypt -- all the family, Jacob and all the rest of the kids. They came up, they gave them all the land and everything. They were there for over 400 years, twice the age of this nation. If Joseph only ruled for 80 years and all this captivity and slavery that we always hear about in connection with Moses and the ten plagues and the pass over and all that, that happened only for about a hundred years. That still leaves us with a span of 250 years to account for.
You see when Joseph dies, everybody doesn’t move out. They continue to rule. Well, who’s going to rule? Is it going to be the one who have the right of primogenitor to rule, the sons of Judah or is it going to be the sons of Joseph? No, it has to be, because of the blessing of Jacob, Israel, to Judah that he would be the one who would be allowed to rule. It had to be one of his sons one of Judah’s sons and because Zarahh the one with the red cord around his wrist came out first, he and his sons were the ruling class and his twin brother, Pharez weren’t. They were up, in there being princes and all that and part of it ruling over all family but Zarahh and his sons were the ones who actually ruled. And they ruled for over 200 years try to flash the United States history over the last 200 years through your mind. Just flash that. All the things that have happened, all the moving west and the development, the agriculture, the mining, the technology, the industrial revolution all of that. 200 years is a long time. The sons of Zarahh and his family were the ones that ruled.
And all of the sons can’t rule so some of the high mucky-muck princes who know they haven’t got a chance to rule, because you know their brother, father is just about ready to die and their brother’s the one’s gonna get it and they said, “What’s the use of me sticking around mere. I’m gonna go somewhere and start my own place.” That started to happen. Some of the sons of Zarah left and took a lot of people with him and colonized other places on the Mediterranean.
Not only that but when 200 or so, 300 years had gone by the Pharaoh that was alive at that time in upper Egypt said, “Hey, wait a minute. This is enough.” And he came down and conquered the people of lower Egypt and threw the rulers out. And a lot of people left and went across the Mediterranean and did some stuff over there while a lot of people stayed and became slaves and then later on went out with Moses in the Exodus. So in reality we have two different Exoduses out of Egypt.
Now, what happens? Well, history will tell us that these sons of Zarah founded all the city-states of Greece, founded the city of Troy, went across the northern Mediterranean and colonized the Iberian Peninsula which is Spain, Portugal. That’s why they have a place called Zarahgossa over there. Not only that the one of the rule – – well, we’ll get into that in a minute. Get that tonight.
After the Exodus, then the rulers were all gone. The sons of Zarah are gone and nobody – the only persons that’s left are the line of Judah are the line of Pharez, the twin that didn’t have the red cord around his wrist. He’s left so he steps in to, according to the law of primogenitor, he has the right to rule because he’s out of the line of Judah. So all of the kings in the Promised Land are from the line of Pharez with the exception of Saul. Saul was a – he was a special case. But those other kings that ruled over Jerusalem and the kingdom of Judah were all out of the line of Pharez. David was out of the line of Pharez, not Zarah. So we got all of these Zarahites moving all across the northern Mediterranean.
And here’s another interesting point of history. It has to do with the Trojan wars. One of the sons of Zarah was called Dardanus or Darda. There’s several different names for these people, because in the Hebrew tongue, there are no vowels. So a person had would have the name-- that would have the name spelled that was spelled B-R-C-H, for instance, could be Brook or Baruch or Beroc or Brek – a lot of different names just those consonants.
Well, there’s a guy named Brutus, and he’s direct line out of Zarah. And he and his father, Aeneas went and founded Rome with a king named Latinus, king of the Latins. They founded Rome. Well, Brutus got into a problem and killed his father in a hunting accident. He fled. He went back to Troy and found a big revolution happening there, welded together a major force of Trojans into such a threat to the king that the king had to deal with him. And he gave him a big fleet of ships and said, “Here. Take all your people and get out of the here, and we’ll be okay.”
So Brutus said, “Okay. Good deal.” He went and he stopped in Spain, picked up other descendants of Zarah, the people, and made it up to Ireland for a while, stayed there for a while, then went to England and founded a city called, New Troy. There’s even a stone marker where you can go into the city today. And this is the place where he landed supposedly, tradition says. Well, New Troy became London.
Well, what happens then? What we see is that these people who left- Egypt early and settled the whole northern Mediterranean area -– the ones who settled the Iberian peninsula became known as the Milesian kings. And eventually after a little while, they went up and conquered the people that were staying in Ireland, who happened to be relatives of theirs, distant relatives. They are the ruling class of Ireland, the Milesian kings of Ireland when Jeremiah shows up. So you see we’ve got Zarah-line kings ruling in Ireland when Jeremiah shows up with the Pharez line, the daughter of Zedekiah. And he marries the daughter of Zedekiah, a Pharezite to Eochaide, a Zarahite.
And now the two lines of Judah have been reunited. And from there all the kings of Ireland for a thousand years and all the kings of England and all the kings of Scotland up to today, up to today, have been out of that same genealogy, genealogical, rather, line. I have a amazing chart, genealogy chart, that was put together in 1923 by the royal court genealogist --or whatever you want to call it, the title -- that traces all of these kings and queens of northwest Europe right straight back to, you guessed it, Judah. And believe me, there are hundreds and hundreds of all these kings. All the kings of Scandinavia, Oden, all those Viking people, the Spanish all of them. You never heard different places where Queen Victoria was termed as the grandmother, the grand matriarch of all the kings of Europe, kings and queens of Europe because they were all intermarried and all related somehow. That’s how that happened. That’s how that happens.
Just one last footnote before we wrap this up is the rock. The rock. Well, Ollum Folla or Jeremiah lands in Ireland, Irish history records that he brought a bunch of relics with him. And to this day, you’ll find a harp of David on the coat of arms of Ireland. That was one of the things he brought with him. Another thing he brought with him another strange thing is this rock, this big stone. And when he got there, King Eochaide, when he was married and when crowned king over all of Ireland, was crowned on that stone. That stone – he stood on it. He sat on it, something. The stone was involved in there. This is straight out of Irish history. And for a thousand years, all the kings of Ireland were crowned on that stone. Until Fergus came along and took the stone over to Scotland. It became the Stone of Scone which is where they placed it. And then all the kings of Scotland who were ruling the whole area were crowned on that stone. Some 500 A.D. on until 1296, when Edward the First came, took the stone to England, and now it sits in Westminster Abbey.
Now, the stone. It weighs over 300 pounds, and it’s a big block of stone that’s roughly two feet long and a foot-and-a-half wide and maybe ten or twelve inches think. And it’s got two metal rings that are made of some rough resistant alloy, interestingly enough, on each end. And down the center between the two rings, there’s this big groove that’s been worn out. So what it looks like is that there’s a pole that was put in between these two rings, and it was carried around for a long time. Well, every king and queen of Ireland, Scotland and England has been crowned on that Rock.
Now, there’s a lot of biblical references to and then you notice how the three overturns that we talked about from Ezekiel parallel that. If Jeremiah brought that rock with him from Jerusalem to Ireland, that’s one. And then from there to Scotland, that’s two. And then from there to England is three. And the promise says, regarding this stone, that in Ezekiel, the three overturns that it will not be overturned again until Shiloh comes, which is another name for Christ. Shiloh. That’s a lot of biblical references to The Rock and The Pillar. The kings of Israel were all crowned on this pillar.
Well, I like to teach better through Gestalt method, throw out the whole tapestry and then fill in each category all the new evidence. And that’s what we’re about to do over the next few weeks. And we’re going to throw some philosophy in also, and we’ll probable try to weave this Gestalt on every one of these sessions, but essentially, what we’re looking at is how this Celtic nations appear to fulfill all these prophecies and promises and blessings that were given to the kingdom of Israel, which is pretty incredible.
And this study – we’ll be starting very soon at the Straight Talk office, if you care to join us. We have a better dialogue than we do here on the radio, and we get into a lot more depth than we can do on a radio show.
The third proram in this series, the promises, is here.
