Britain

"...but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations" (Genesis 48:19).

Britain's greatness was prophesied in the Bible, thousands of years before it came into existence as a nation. The resources below explore this prophecy and its implication for the past, present and future of this declining superpower.

Appendix 13: The Nobility—Also Jewish

  • by United Church of God
We have elsewhere seen that the royalty of Europe is descended from Judah’s son Zerah, in accordance with the prophecy that the scepter would not depart from Judah (Genesis 49:10). Indeed, the royal house of Britain is a fusion of the lines of Zerah and Judah’s other son Perez through his descendant King David. Because of intermarriage, the other royal houses of Europe are Davidic as well.

Appendix 11: Joseph of Arimathea and the Line of Nathan

  • by United Church of God
The Davidic line of kings that ruled over the ancient nation of Judah came through David’s son Solomon. At the time of Judah’s fall to the Babylonians in 586 B.C., this lineage, as explained in this publication, was continued by a transferal of the monarchy to Ireland.

Appendix 10: The Family of Odin

  • by United Church of God
The various royal houses of English history—the Saxons, Danes, Normans, Tudors, Stuarts, Plantagenets, Hanoverians, Saxe-Coburgs, all lines blended and fused with Scottish royalty to form the modern House of Windsor—trace their bloodlines back to a common ancestor.

Appendix 9: The Lion and the Unicorn

  • by United Church of God
Britain’s heraldic imagery takes on great significance in light of the true biblical identity of the British people and their royal family.

Appendix 4: The Colchis Connection

  • by United Church of God
Is it possible to identify Calcol or Chalcol as Cecrops of Athens and still relate his name to the people of Colchis?

Eternal Destiny

  • by United Church of God
Now we can see why the British royal family rose under Queen Victoria to the heights of world prestige and preeminence. Why it continues to hold a special place in the hearts of all manner of people the world over. And why, of all royal families, it is still the first one that comes to mind.

More Links to David

  • by United Church of God
Besides what we’ve already seen, there are other corroborating factors connecting the line of David with Ireland.

Other Sources and a Caution

  • by United Church of God
We should be even more cautious when it comes to genealogies and histories outside the Bible, which are debatable. While they can be interesting and enlightening, they can also become a drain on our spiritual energies if we spend inordinate amounts of time in researching them.

Standing on God’s Word

  • by United Church of God
Our proof rests on God’s Word and verifiable history. We must accept these sure facts as a solid foundation. Irish traditions and fragmentary historical details can then be viewed in this light—and that indeed does seem to fill in some interesting and supportive details.

Tea-Tephi or Scota?

  • by United Church of God
Concerning the names Tea, Tephi and Tamar, while they may refer to the same person at the time of Jeremiah, it is also possible that they do not. In favor is the fact that these names are sometimes linked together in old Irish poems.

Sorting Out Identities

  • by United Church of God
If Ollam Fodhla was indeed Jeremiah, his identification as a king is fairly easy to reconcile. It could have resulted from his appearing to be the father or grandfather of the eastern princess he brought with him—or, even more likely, confusion over his being a great lawgiver.

Questions Over Who’s Who

  • by United Church of God
Yet it must be admitted that none of this is certain. Indeed, even though there appear to be many more similarities between Jeremiah and Ollam Fodhla, Ollam appears in the Irish king lists as a king and sometimes as one who reigned centuries before Jeremiah.
