He married her shortly after 585 BCE—when Jerusalem fell; their young son, now about 12 years of age, accompanied them to Ireland. Capt states that besides the royal family, Jeremiah brought with them some remarkable things, including the harp, an ark, and a wonderful stone called “lia-fail,” or “stone 2 of destiny.” With the thought of the “Stone of Destiny” in mind, notice Israel’s blessing to Joseph again:
Genesis 49:22-24. “Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well; his branches run over the wall. The archers have bitterly grieved him, shot at him and hated him. But, his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel). By the SOVEREIGN of your father who will help you, and by the Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. The blessings of your father have excelled the blessings of my ancestors, up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.”
Capt points out that under Hebrew law (Numbers 27:8-11) a daughter would inherit as though she were a son and the right of descent would pass to her male seed, providing she married within her own house (Numbers 36).
Another strange coincidence—or is it just coincidence?—is that many kings in the history of Ireland, Scotland, and England have been coroneted sitting over this stone—including the present queen of England. The stone did rest in Westminster Abbey in London, with the coronation chair built over and around it. Until recently, a sign beside it labeled it “Jacob’s pillar-stone” (Genesis 28:18). In addition, the Prime Minister and the Queen of England have recently conspired to send this identifying stone back to Scotland.
Capt states that the prince, Eochaidh, son of the king of Ireland was, the royal husband for the Hebrew Queen. Eochaidh was given the title Heremon upon ascending the throne of his father and they were coroneted King and Queen by Jeremiah on the Stone of Bethel. Since the prince was of the Ephraim line, his marriage to David’s direct descendant, Zedekiah’s daughter, healed the breach caused long ago by the separation of the tribe of Ephraim. Thus from this point forward, David’s descendants for the throne were transferred to the Heremon line, which ruled in Ireland. Regarding the breach, it is now immaterial whether the Heremon line or the Davidic line was the correct line because the marriage healed the breach, they are now grafted back together, and this forms the Royal Family through David.
The son of king Heremon and the Hebrew princess continued on the throne of Ireland, and this same dynasty has continued unbroken through all the kings of Ireland. It was overturned and transplanted again into Scotland; again overturned and moved to London, England, where this same dynasty continues today in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Princess of the Seed of David
We will leave the royal “remnant” for a moment to review some of the prophecies/promises we have covered:
- Jacob’s descendants would bow to Joseph and his descendants (Genesis 37:6-10) including the tribe of Judah.
- Judah would keep their NameSake until Shiloh comes (Genesis 49:10). The name “Shiloh 3 is used as epithet [name] of the Messiah (Strong’s #H7886/7887).” Also, there was a small village just inside of the land of Ephraim named Shiloh.
- David’s lineage through Solomon would sit on the throne forever (2 Samuel 7:12-13).
- “Israel” is not the name of the Jewish nation, but it is the name of the ten-tribed kingdom led by Ephraim, which was driven into “an unknown land” about 139 years before the flight of Jeremiah and the royal “remnant.”
- The ruling, royal family in Ireland were Ephraimites, the line of Gede the Heremon, and they ruled the Danites and other Israelites in Ireland, then in Scotland, and then in England.
- The Milesians in Ireland were Ephraimites. Eochaidh, the son of the Ephraimite king of Ireland of the Gede the Heremon line, married the Jewish princess from David’s ruling descendants. This marriage grafted David’s throne into the Heremon line.
The word Jew is the name of the people of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. Jew is the Scriptural historic name of the Jewish nation, which is composed of a smaller portion of Jacob’s seed. However, because they kept the sign of the Sabbath (Ex 31:13,17), they did not lose their identity and their descendants are still known as Jews. The ten-tribed nation of Israel refused to keep the sign and therefore lost their identity. Notice the NameSake was promised distinctively to the Judaic nation.
2 Chronicles 13:4-5. “And Abijah stood up...and said, ‘Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel. ...ETERNAL SOVEREIGN of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons.’”
However, the NameSake promise is still distinctively to the Judaic family. Remember that the Mashiach is to come from the line of Ephraim. Ezekiel, speaking of the Mashiach states:
Ezekiel 37:24-26 (TLB). “And David, My Servant—the Messiah—shall be their King, their only Shepherd; and they shall obey My laws and all My wishes. They shall live in the land of Israel where their fathers lived, the land I gave My servant Jacob. They and their children after them shall live there, and their grandchildren, for all generations. And My Servant David, their Messiah, shall be their Prince forever. And I will make a Covenant of peace with them, an everlasting pact. I will bless them and multiply them and put My Temple among them forever.”
At the Advent, the Mashiach will be a rising light for all people.
The Birthright that Esau sold to Jacob—the promise of national greatness and material wealth—was never given to the Jews who are of the tribe of JUDAH. So naturally, we should not expect to find this promise fulfilled in the Jews today. However, the tribe of Judah does have and will keep the NameSake promise. The promise/prophesy of Genesis 49:8-10 shows that Judah would maintain their tribal name. However, a descendant of David through Solomon will rule the sons of Jacob until Shiloh (the Mashiach) is here. This is proved in recorded history, as each prior U.S. President and the Royal Family of England trace their lineage back to King David.
It is awesome how the Mighty One works out His purpose in the kingdoms and affairs of mankind! Since He has the power to do that, He can know the beginning and the end of a matter because He has the power to make it happen as He wants.
In view of the linking together of Scriptural history, prophecy, and Irish history, can anyone deny that this Hebrew princess was the daughter of King Zedekiah and therefore heir to the throne of David? That the aged patriarch was in fact Jeremiah, and his companion was the scribe, or secretary, Baruch? That Prince Heremon was a descendant of Gede the Heremon who married the daughter of Zedekiah, thus healing the ancient breach? That when the throne of David was first overturned and Jeremiah replanted it in Ireland, later overturned a second time and replanted in Scotland, overturned a third time and planted in London? At the Advent of the Mashiach to sit on that throne, he shall take over a live, existing throne, not a non-existent one. ETERNAL’s word still stands! The Mighty One has kept all His promises!
King George of the British Commonwealth, the king who ruled before Queen Elizabeth II, had a chart published showing his ancestry. It contains every generation back to Heremon and Tephi, to Zedekiah, on back to David! The British Commonwealth of Nations is the only COMPANY OF NATIONS in all earth’s history. Could we so exactly fulfill the specifications of the Birthright, and not be the Birthright People?
The United States expanded rapidly in national resources, but reached world dominance among nations only during W.W.I. Since W.W.II, the British Commonwealth has diminished in power.
From the prophetic blessings passed on by the dying Jacob, it is apparent that Ephraim and Manasseh were in a large measure to inherit the Birthright jointly and to remain together for a long time, then finally to separate.
In Genesis 48, Jacob first passed the Birthright on to the two sons of Joseph jointly, speaking of them both together. Then, finally, he spoke of them separately—Manasseh was to become the SINGLE great nation and Ephraim the COMPANY of nations.
In his prophecy for these latter days, Jacob said, “Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well; his branches run over the wall” (Genesis 49:22). In other words, Joseph—Ephraim and Manasseh jointly and together—was to be a colonizing people with their colonies branching out from the British Isles around the earth.
Together Ephraim and Manasseh grew into a multitude and then separated, according to Jacob’s prophetic blessing of Genesis 48. Our people have fulfilled this prophecy.
Nevertheless, how can the U.S. be Manasseh, when large parts of our people have migrated from many nations besides England? The answer is this: A large part of Manasseh remained with Ephraim until the separation of NEW England. However, our ancestors were to be sifted through many nations, as corn through a sieve, yet not a grain to fall to the earth or be lost (Amos 9:9). Our people did filter through many nations. Ephraim and much of Manasseh finally immigrated to England together. However, many others of Manasseh who had filtered into other nations did not leave them until they came as immigrants to the United States AFTER the New England colony had become a separate nation. This does not mean that all foreigners who have immigrated into this country are of the stock of Manasseh, but undoubtedly many are, especially those who came from Western Europe. Israel, however, always did absorb gentiles who became Israelites through living in Israel’s land and intermarrying.
Thus, we are known as the “melting pot” of the world. Instead of refuting our Manasseh ancestry, this fact actually confirms it. The proof that the U.S. is Manasseh is overwhelming. Manasseh was to separate from Ephraim and become the greatest, wealthiest single nation in the history of earth. We alone have fulfilled this prophecy. Manasseh was in fact the thirteenth tribe. There were twelve original tribes. Joseph was one of these twelve. However, when Joseph divided into two tribes and Manasseh separated into an independent nation, it became the thirteenth tribe.
Could it be mere coincidence that the U.S. began as a nation with 13 colonies? Their flag had 13 bars and 13 stars. The Great Seal of the United States has many components and most of these contain 13 parts. The reverse side of the Seal is the Great Pyramid of Egypt and Ephraim and Manasseh were born in Egypt.
Davidi states in his book “Joseph” that, The very name “AMERICA” was derived historically from that of Amerigo (or “Americus”) Vespucci. Vespucci was a North Italian navigator in the service of King Henry VII of England. He mapped part of the North American coast and America was named after him. Vespucci had received the name “Americus” in honor of an Israelite Prince, Machir (maw-keer´), who had once held an autonomous principality in Southern France. The name “Amerigo” (or as it was also rendered Americo) was a Latinized permutation of the Hebrew name “Machir” or “HaMachiri (the Machir).”
The original “Machir” was the first-born son of Manasseh, son of Joseph. Machir was brought to his grandfather Joseph who was getting very old:
Genesis 50:23 “Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. The children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were also brought up on Joseph’s knees.”
The English word “Machir” comes from the Hebrew word “Makiyr” (Strong’s #H4353 maw-keer´) and means “salesman.” Notice the pronunciation “maw-keer´.” Now if you drop the first letter “A” in “America,” it sounds like “merica.” The sounds “maw-keer´” and “merica” are very similar and could be transliterated as “Machir” or “America.”
Continuing with Davidi, “Machir received his portion on the other side of the Jordan, and America is over the Ocean. Benjamin Turkia pointed out that one of the meanings of “Machir” in Hebrew is “selling.” Benjamin is a native of Finland now living in Israel. He describes his first visit to the USA after coming from quiet little Finland. He was startled by the frenzy of “selling.” He was not used to it. People were selling things everywhere. They were selling in the airport and on the street. When he finally reached the “safety” of his lodgings, almost immediately the doorbell rang. He went to the entrance and encountered a door-to-door salesman who had come to sell. Selling and the capitalist system are one of the characteristics of the USA in the eyes of outsiders. People on the whole are not really that much different from each other, so where even small differences exist and stand out, they are taken as characteristically representative. The USA is distinguished in the eyes of others by its characteristic of “selling.” America is “Machir.” Grammatically, if you wanted a word-construct in Biblical Hebrew that would express the principle of capitalism, you could not find a more apt word than “Machir.”
Capt states that “The word Jacob is the Anglicized form of the Hebrew word Ya’aqob (or shortened to Yacob), meaning ‘supplanter.’ The English word that means ‘supplanter’ is James. Therefore, by definition Jacob = James. Since Jacob was named ‘Israel,’ then by extension Israel = Jacob = James. Thus the first English colony in America, ‘Jamestown,’ could have been called ‘Jacobtown’ or ‘Israeltown.’ Interestingly, the most widely read ‘Bible’ by the Anglo-Saxon peoples is the King James, which could easily be the King Jacob or the King Israel.”
Many of the early settlers of the USA and Canada came from those areas of Britain in which clans deriving from Manasseh had predominated and North America as a whole which contains many from Ephraim. In addition, North and South America also contain representatives of other Israelite tribes, and from place to place the relative proportions doubtlessly vary.
Nevertheless, what about the other tribes of the so-called “Lost Ten Tribes”? While the Birthright was Joseph’s, and its greatest blessings have come to the British Commonwealth of Nations and the United States of America, yet the other eight tribes of Jacob were also ETERNAL’s chosen people. These other tribes have been blessed with a great measure of material prosperity—but not the dominance of the Birthright.
We lack space for a detailed explanation of the specific identity of all of these other tribes in the nations of our twenty-first century. Suffice it to say here that there is ample evidence that these other eight tribes have descended into such northwestern European nations as Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Northern France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Sweden, and Norway. The people of Iceland are also of Viking stock. The political boundaries of Europe, as they exist today, do not necessarily show lines of division between descendants of these original tribes of Israel.
