IDENTIFYING THE NORTHERN ISRAELITES

     Behind many great characters of the Old Testament lie mysteries hidden in deep
symbolism.  If we focus on the particulars of these mysterious characters,  their meanings start
to parallel historical people, times and events.  For instance, consider the sons of Abraham -
Ishmael and Isaac.  One son was born to Abraham by a handmaiden (Ishmael), the other son
(Isaac), born to him by his beloved wife and half sister, Sarah.   Both Ishmael and Isaac
became ‘fathers of great multitudes’.
      Ishmael, whom Abraham sent off into the wilderness with his (handmaiden) mother Hager,
parallels the Northern tribes of Israel being sent off into the wilderness - out from the sight of
God.  Ishmael was ABRAHAM’S first born; likewise EPHRAIM (leader of the Northern
Israelites) was also blessed as God’s first born, as it states in Jeremiah 31:9:  ‘For I am a
father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.’   The name ‘Ishmael’ means ‘whom God hears’.
The name ‘Ephraim’ means double fruitfulness.
          Isaac, whom Abraham loved most dearly, was offered up to God at an early age as a
‘holy sacrifice’.  The actual killing/sacrifice of Isaac never occurred, but the SYMBOLIC
intent to ‘offer’ was there.  This willingness on Abraham’s part, to sacrifice his favorite son,
Isaac, parallels, and is meant to portray, God’s willingness to offer up HIS most beloved
son/tribe, Judah (and Judah’s descendants), as sacrifices (of atonement), for the justification
and cleansing of ALL the people of Israel.  (I shall go into more detail about the Jewish
sacrifices in a later section).
          For those who do not believe the Northern tribes of Israel are indeed ‘lost’, I will
hereby give you a few verses to bring this issue into clearer focus.
       First:  Consider that God once said of Simeon and Levi (two of the twelve tribes of
Israel), ‘because of your anger and hostility (as a pair), you shall be divided’.  This gives us
the first indication that there was indeed going to be two separate groups among the Israelites.
The Levites, who were the priests of the whole of Israel, went with the Southern kingdom/
Judah.  Simeon, and his tribal descendants, went with the Northern tribes of/Israel.  The
Northern tribes were called ‘Israel’, the Southern tribes were called ‘Judah’.  The people in
the kingdom of Judah were later referred to as ‘Jew’s.  Those from the tribes of Judah
were/are Jews, however the tribe of Levi enjoined the Jews, as did part of Benjamin’s tribe, so
members of all three tribes thereby were referred to as ‘Jews’.
      Second:  ‘The Lord shall bring you (speaking to Northern Israel) AND YOUR KING,
which you shall set over yourself, into a nation which neither you nor your fathers have
known; and there shall you serve other gods.’  Deut 28:36.  Tell me, when did the JEWS
have a King in a distant land, foreign to their fathers?
     Third:  ‘The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt
come down very low...he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.’  When the Northern
Israelite (Celtic) tribes scattered about the face of Europe, another people (strangers) enjoined
their nations.  These people were Roman and Germanic peoples.  A strange/different religion
was forced upon them.  The Roman Empire became the ‘stranger’ within them, and the
religion of the Roman Empire/Germanic/Christian people became the head, therefore the
religion of  the ancient Israelites became a thing of the past - representing the tail.
     Fourth:  ‘Ye shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my holy places...and if you will not
yet for all this harken unto me, then I will punish you SEVEN TIMES more for your sins.’
Leviticus 26.  The Jews have always kept the Sabbaths and revered the Holy places, but not
so the Northern Israelites.  When the Northern tribes became mixed among the strangers of
the land, the created holy day of the Sabbath went by the wayside.
      Fifth:  ‘I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to
cease from among men’.  Deut 32:26.  Tell me if you can, when has the remembrance of the
JEWS ever ceased from people’s memory?  Never!  Only the tribes of Northern Israel have
ceased to be a remembrance among men.
      Sixth:  ‘For the Lord shall smite Israel....and he shall root up Israel out of this good
land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they
made their groves (such as the Celtic Druid Priests), provoking the Lord to anger.  And he
shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam (first King of Northern Israel), who did
sin and who made Israel to sin.’  I Kings 14:15-16.  GOD NEVER GAVE UP POSSESSION
OF JUDAH, BUT (Northern) ISRAEL ON THE OTHER HAND WAS TO BECOME
‘LOST’ - OR SCATTERED.
          Now going back to the punishment of the SEVEN TIMES.  This punishment was a
punishment of TIME.  It was to begin soon after Jeroboam made Israel sin.  Jeroboam began
his 21 year reign after Israel was divided into two groups, which began in 990 BC.  The seven
‘times’ is 7 multiplied by a solar year of 365.25 days, resulting in a period of 2556.75 days
(years).   A day for a year principle is used.   Subtract 990 BC from 2556.75 and you get 1567
AD.  From 990 BC until 1567 AD, the Northern tribes of Israel had been scattered upon the
face of the earth, without a natural homeland of their own.
          In 1567 the seven times duration of time punishment had expired, and it was in THAT
VERY YEAR - 1567 - the first settlement in Canada took place.  The Celtic people at that
time were beginning to populate the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, as well
as other regions of the world, gaining independence, but more importantly, NEW
HOMELANDS.
          The Celtic (tribes of Joseph i.e. Ephraim & Manasseh), were now being blessed by
Yahweh with a ‘New Jerusalem’.   The Celtic also came into possession of the ‘gates’ of their
enemies, as God said they would (gates = canals=Suez, Panama, etc).   God promised
Abraham, ‘Because you have not withheld your son from me, that in blessing, I will bless
thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand
which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gates of his enemies.....and in thy
seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed...’  Genesis 22:16-18.   Tell me if you can,
what gates/canals have the Jews, on their own, come into possession of?  All the nations of
the world have been blessed by the inventions, interventions, and achievements of the Celtic
people.  There is a myriad of inventions that came about by, and because, of the Celtic people.
Consider also the fact that nearly all, if not all, the Presidents of the United States have been
of some Celtic origin.
          The Celtic not only inhabited the lands of  Greater Britain - remember too, the Gauls of
France were also Celtic.  The Celtic people lived and farmed all over Europe before settling in
the British Isles.
          Once the SEVEN TIMES were up, God held good on his promise to give Israel a
‘homeland’ of their own.  But if they still insisted upon worshipping other gods beside
Yahweh, pollute his Sabbaths, and be disobedient, then God would bring upon them
punishments SEVENFOLD as severe as anything they had dealt with in the past.  These
hardships were NOT a ‘time’ punishment, but rather, catastrophic punishments such as
droughts, famines, diseases, plagues, wars, natural disasters, and death.  This chastisement
would continue until the end of time, becoming more severe as time went by.  This
punishment of hardships and plagues would last for 430 years.  The 430 years of ‘time’ not
being the punishment, but the plagues being the punishment.  And don’t forget, when God
punishes the Israelites (Celtic and Jew alike), the whole world suffers.  When God blesses
them, the whole world benefits.
          This period of 430 years is prophesied in Ezekiel chapter four.  For 390 days Ezekiel
had to lay on his left side for the sins of Israel; and for 40 days on the right side for the sins of
Judah.  Together the 390 and 40 ‘days’ add up to 430 ‘years’ (a day for a year).  430 years
added to 1567 AD is 1997.  In 1997 the Celtic peoples will again be ‘visited’ upon  by
Yahweh to determine their fate and future.
          Leviticus 26 says:  I will break the pride of your power and I will make your heaven as
iron, and your earth as brass.  And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land (their
new homeland) shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their
fruits.  And if you walk contrary unto me, and will not  hearken unto me, I will bring seven
times more plagues upon you according to your sins (harsher and harsher).  The proof is in
the daily news reports.  The Israelite/Celtic/Jewish people of the world are really going to be
punished from here on out with all the hardships that are mentioned in Leviticus 26.  The God
of Israel will break the pride of the power of the United States, Great Britain and Canada.

EPHRIAM AND MANASSEH

     Ephraim and Manasseh were sons of Joseph.  The two boys were grandsons of Jacob, but
were blessed by Jacob as his natural sons.  The name ‘Israel’ passed down on the heads of
Ephraim and Manasseh jointly, and to them solely.  Ephraim, although being the younger of
the two lads, would inherit the greater of the blessings.  Manasseh would become a great
nation, but Ephraim would become a great multitude (or company) of nations.
     Jeremiah 31:9-10 says:  ‘For I am a father to Israel, and EPHRAIM is my firstborn; hear
the word of the Lord O ye nations, and declare it in the ISLES afar off (far off = into the
future) and say; He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth
his flock’.
     Deuteronomy 33:17 says:  ‘His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are
like the horns of unicorns; with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the
earth (end of the Ages of time); and they are the tens of thousands of Ephriam and they are
the thousands of Manasseh.
    Not only would Ephraim be a greater nation, or a company of nations, but Ephraim would
be tens of thousands strong, instead of  thousands (thousands meaning millions).  So here we
are at the ‘end of the ages’ - so which nation is Ephraim, and which nation Manasseh?  Some
would no doubt say that Great Britain was Ephraim; seeing that at one time,  ‘the sun never
sat on Great Britain’; and Ephriam was to be a great company of nations.  But, on the other
hand America has 50 States - which could be considered a company of nations.  However,
considering population alone - the greater would most definitely be Great Britain, adding the
Celtic population of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Iceland to her side.
     More importantly, it is the PEOPLE themselves that portray the two sons of Ephraim and
Manasseh - namely the Brythonic Celts, who are the Welsh, Cornish, and Bretons; AND the
Goidelic Celts, who are the Irish, Scots, and Manxmen.  As God says, not one ‘grain’ will be
lost to him.  All ‘seed’ will be gathered at the end of days, no matter how ‘lost’ they may be.
     Moses once said that Ephraim and Manasseh would, in the latter days, be like two horns of
a unicorn that push people together until the end of the Age (of Pisces).  The two horns
represent the two great nations of power at the time of the end; namely Greater Britain and
the United States.  The horns represent ‘power’, the UNI -(corn) indicates the ‘oneness’ of
origin.  As the ‘oneness’ of the horn on the unicorn, the people of Ephraim and Manasseh
(Celtic)  have become one.  The US, Canada, and all the other countries where the Celtic
people live are cousins to the Celtic people of Greater Britain   They are all of one origin, all
with origins in Northern Israel, but they still make up two great powers.
     Jacob, the father of the twelve tribes of Israel, himself , named ‘Israel’ by God, passed on
the name ‘Israel’ to his two grandsons; Ephraim and Manasseh.  Taking into account  ‘they
shall grow into a great multitude in the middle of the earth, the younger (Ephraim) shall be
greater than the older (Manasseh).  Manasseh to be a great nation and Ephraim to be a
great multitude, or company of nations’.  Here Jacob is referring to the nations of people, not
the individual tribes - for Great Britain is a combination of all Celtic tribes, just as much as the
United States is consisted of peoples from all Celtic tribes.
     The name ‘Manasseh’ means FORGETTING.  I believe this indicates that the descendants
of Manasseh would forget who they were.  The name ‘Ephraim’ means DOUBLE
FRUITFULNESS.  I believe this indicates the millions of Celtic people who would make up
the population in the last days.  Ephraim would be ‘desolate in the day of rebuke’ and ‘He has
mixed himself among the people, and is like a (pan) cake that is only half done.  Strangers,
(people that are not Celtic), have devoured Ephraim’s strength, and he does not even realize
it.’  This seems to suggests that the US would be Ephraim, for the US has many other races
living amongst it’s borders that seem to prevent the Celtic population from realizing their full
potential.

Joseph’s descendants and the coat of many colors

    ‘Joseph’, the father of Ephraim and Manasseh, means INCREASE.  ‘Joseph is a fruitful
bough with branches running over its wall’.  Branches meaning descendants, and wall
meaning borders.  Just look at all the land mass that it takes to ‘house’ all the people of
Joseph (the Celtic people).
     Of Joseph we read in Genesis 49:26:  ‘The blessings of the father have prevailed above
the blessings of my forefathers unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be
on the head of Joseph, and on the CROWN of the head of him that was separated from his
brethren.’
     Now this last verse says a lot, so read it again closely!  ‘Until the utmost bound of the
everlasting hills’, means:  until the furthermost time in the future Ages to come.  Greater
blessings than even of his forefathers are upon the CROWN of  JOSEPH’S
DESCENDANTS!  The CROWN lies with Joseph - not with Judah.  I will repeat that:  THE
CROWN LIES WITH  JOSEPH; NOT WITH JUDAH.  THE CROWN OF KINGSHIP LIES
WITH THE CELTIC PEOPLE AND THEIR DESCENDANTS.
      The sceptre, which remains with the tribe of Judah, means NAMESAKE, not crown or
kingship.  The Jews would always be the tribe to keep the NAMESAKE of ‘Israel’, which
means they were the only tribe that would be remembered as ‘Israel’.  Judah/the Jews would
always be the LAW KEEPERS, but the descendants of Joseph would wear the crown (once
the high was made low, and the low made high).  The promise made to David was:  ‘David
shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.’  The house of Israel
was, and still is, the Northern tribes of Israel.  Israel is Ephraim and Manasseh.   The crown
passed upon the heads of the Celtic Kings in Ireland, Wales and Scotland.  The descendants,
or ‘seed’, of King David still do indeed sit upon the throne of Great Britain.  Also, there were
the Jewish daughters of King Zedekiah, whom Abraham ‘planted’ in Ireland, Wales and
Scotland, who became Queens upon marrying Celtic/Israelite princes.  (This shall be covered
more thoroughly later).   King David has never been wanting for a descendant to sit upon his
throne.  And remember too, the USA has had a Celtic President each and every time there
was/is an election.  A person of Celtic/Israelite origin shall always rule over Greater Britain
and the United States.
     From Joseph comes the shepherd - the Rock of  Israel (the Isle of Great Britain). Blessings
of the deep; blessings from heaven and God; blessings of the breasts and womb; and a
CROWN upon the head of he who was separated from his brethren.  Joseph is the brother
who dreamt of his future power, which his brothers hated him for.  This power is now being
seen on the heads of the Celtic people.  Never before, even during Joseph’s lifetime, did he see
such power as he is seeing today in his descendants.
     Joseph obtained his birthright from Reuben, who was the eldest of the twelve brothers.
Reuben lost his birthright as stated in I Chronicles 5:1-2:  “Now the sons of Reuben the
firstborn son of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed,
his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to
be reckoned after the birthright.  For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the
chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph’s).”   Holding now the birthright as the oldest of the
twelve, Joseph received the greater of the blessings from his father.  Joseph’s birthright of
‘firstborn’ passed on to his son Ephraim , making Ephraim God’s ‘firstborn’.
     While still young, Joseph’s brothers became quite jealous of him and plotted to kill Joseph.
They sold Joseph into Egypt for 20 pieces of silver, then proceeded to tell their father, Jacob,
that wild animals had killed Joseph.  They took to Jacob the ‘garment of many colors’ that
Jacob made for his beloved son Joseph, covered with animal blood, to fool their father into
thinking it was the blood of Joseph.  Jacob was sorrowed greatly.  But the story ends on a
happier note, for Joseph ends up feeding his father, his eleven brothers, and their families,
during the seven year famine that struck their land.  It would seem that Joseph’s descendants
(the US, Great Britain, and Canada, Australia, etc.), are again feeding the world’s hungry.
     Joseph’s coat of many colors, I believe, is a clue hidden among the mysteries of the old
testament for identifying the descendants of Joseph.   I believe the symbolic meaning of the
coat of many colors, handed down by Joseph’s descendants throughout time, can be found in
the Scottish Tartan.  Yes - the Scottish tartan, a multi-colored plaid cloth derived from the
legendary coat of many colors that Jacob had hand-sewn for his son, Joseph.  This Celtic cloth
of many colors can be traced to 400 BC in Europe, where archeologists found such evidence
in ancient ruins there.  So the tartan of many colors, it would seem, has been around for many
many years.
     There are many clues for finding the Northern tribes of Israel that exist in prophecy and
history.  The Celtic Druid priests were Israelite priests that joined the Northern tribes of Israel
on their journeys to the British Isles.  These priests/druids were without a doubt, from the
tribe of Simeon, since the Levites went with the Southern kingdom of Judah.  The Levites
were the true priests of Israel, but in their absence, the people from the tribe of Simeon would
have taken on that role for the Northern tribes.
     The title ‘Brit’, or ‘Bret’ comes from the Hebrew word ‘Berith’, meaning covenant.   ‘Ish’
means ‘man’, or belonging to.  When put together ‘British’ means ‘man belonging to the
covenant’ - or ‘covenant man’.
     Celtic origins can be traced back to 600 BC in Europe and the Isles of Great Britain.  It
was at this very same time  the Israelites began to scatter themselves about the face of Europe,
starting with the fall of Assyria in 615 BC.


  NEBUCHADNEZZER’S IMAGE

    Chapter two in the book of Daniel deals with Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, which he could not
remember off hand, but Daniel was able to ‘recall’ this dream for the King.  Daniel proceeded
to give the King the interpretation as well.  Daniel told the King that his dream consisted of a
great statue of a man which had a head of gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of
brass, and legs of iron, mixed with clay.  Daniel explained to King Nebuchadnezzar of
Babylon that each part of the great statue was to represent four great kingdoms that would
rise up on the earth.
     ‘Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image.  This great image, whose brightness
was excellent, stood before thee; and the form there was terrible.  This image’s head was of
fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron,
his feet part of iron and part of clay.  Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,
which smote the image upon his feet that were iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.  Then
was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and
became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that
no place was found for them; and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain,
and filled the whole earth.’
     The first section was the head of gold, which represented Babylon.  The second section
with the silver breast and arms came to represent the Mede and Persian Empires.  The third
great kingdom of brass was known as the Grecian Empire, and the fourth Empire of iron was
Rome, with it’s Eastern and Western ‘legs’.  The feet and toes were the Germanic peoples -
and the ‘Holy’ Roman Empire.  The iron/clay substance of the feet and toes indicates the
mixture of political Rome, with the easily formed clay of the religion which the Empire had
molded into it’s own image.
     ‘And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with
the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with
clay.....And in those days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which
shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break
in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.’
     The iron mixed with miry clay would mingle itself with the nations of the earth and would
not have the strength to be united, as iron and miry clay does not mix well.  The Germanic
people eventually became the European nations, which have never been united.  The ten or
more Germanic tribes make up many of the Western, or Christian countries, of Europe, not
just the country of Germany.  It is my belief that Europe will never be united as a whole
nation, in spite of such efforts to do so today, mainly because of their religion, which was
formed out of miry clay substance.
     The STONE that was cut out of the mountain, without the hand of man, which broke into
pieces the iron, the brass, the silver, and the gold, is the Isles of Great Britain and the Celtic
people.  The Celtic people are heirs to the Isle, or the stone, according to God’s plan.  The
Celtic people are the Israelite tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh; grandchildren of Jacob, sons of
Joseph.  The Celtic people encompass the Irish, Welsh, Scots, Bretons, Picts, Cornish, and
Manx.  These Celtic people were known by many tribal names years ago, but ‘a rose is still a
rose by any other name’.   The Celtic peoples have been scattered across Europe and Asia
Minor ever since 615 BC, and eventually made their new homeland in the British Isles,
Canada, United States, Australia, Iceland, New Zealand, South Africa, and various other
places.   The people of Northern Israel will, as Daniel has recorded, be the people who shall
break to pieces the strength of all other nations.

Daniel’s Seventy Weeks
     Chapter nine of Daniel contains the mysterious 70 ‘weeks’, which has been subjected to many
an analytic attempts, including my own.  Starting with verse 24, I will attempt to give my
version of interpretation.  The numbers in the following paragraphs indicate Strong’s
Concordance reference numbers.
     ‘Seventy weeks (7620) are determined (2852) upon thy people (5971) and upon thy Holy
city (5892), to finish (3607) the transgression (6588), and to make an end (2856) of sins
(2403), and to make reconciliation (3722) for iniquity (5771), and  to bring in everlasting
(5769) righteousness (6664),  and to seal up (2856) the vision (2377) and prophecy (5030),
and to anoint (4886) the Most Holy (6944).’
        After looking up the Hebrew/Chaldee words for the above verse, the following can
honestly be interpreted from verse 24 of Chapter 9.
     ‘Seventy periods of the sacred oath being completed, are hereby decreed upon the nation
of Israel and upon thy Holy City, to withhold (or restrain) from the revolt against God, and to
stop the sacrifices, and to make atonement for sin, and to bring in everlasting justification, and
to make an end (or stop up) the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the sacred. place.’
     Verse 25 goes on to say: ‘Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth
(4161) of the commandment (1697) to restore (7725) and to build Jerusalem (3389, 3384, and
7999), unto the Messiah (4899) the Prince (5057) shall be seven weeks and threescore and
two weeks; the street (7339) shall be built again, and the wall (2742), even in troublous
(5916) times (6256).’
     Upon looking up the Hebrew meaning of verse 25, here is another way of reading this
prophecy:
     ‘Know therefore and understand that from the rising in the east of the decree to return and
to build Jerusalem, to make the complete, or perfected city, From the anointed ruler, shall be
sixty-nine weeks.  The street shall be built again, and the wall, and trench, even in afflicted
times.’
     Verse 26 goes as follows:  ‘And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,
but not for himself; and the people of the Prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary and the end thereof shall be with a flood and unto the end of the war desolation’s
are determined.’
     Interpretation:  ‘After 62 weeks the anointed heritage of Kingship will be cut off from
Jewish lineage by the hand of the powerful commander who shall invade; he shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary and the end thereof shall be with a devastating deluge, and unto the end
of the battle much destruction is determined.’
      Verse 27:  ‘And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week and in the midst of
the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of
abominations, he shall make it desolate.’
     Interpretation:  ‘And God (through King Zedekiah), shall attempt to confirm the covenant
with many for one week, and in the middle of the week he (God) shall cause the sacrifice and
the gift offering to cease, and because of the overspreading of idolatry, he (God) shall order it
destroyed, even up to the point of completion (of the week), and that determined shall be total
desolation upon the ruins.’
     Daniel’s 70 weeks can be somewhat elusive, but only if one is looking for the ‘anointed
one’ after the rebuilding of the temple of 536 BC.  What the Jews most dearly wanted at the
time of Daniel’s vision was to return to Jerusalem, and to rebuild their temple.  When Daniel
received his vision of 70 weeks, the starting point was already known.  In 1019 BC King
Solomon had ‘anointed’ the sacred place/temple (6944), that had taken him seven years to
build.
     To determine how long the ‘weeks’ are for each prophecy, multiply by 7 days (per week).
For instance: 70 X 7 = 490;  69 X 7 = 483;  62 X 7 = 434;  and 1 X 7 = 7.
     Seventy ‘weeks’ were required of Israel to anoint the Holy Temple (Solomon’s), make
atonement for sin, bring in everlasting justification, and to have the prophecy fulfilled.  Notice
on the diagram ‘TIME’, that the starting point is 1026 BC.  This is the year that King
Solomon started to build the temple (6944).  The most ‘holy’ (6944 - according to Strong’s
Concordance), can be a sacred place, day, prince, temple, or sanctuary.  In this case it is the
temple that Solomon built.
     The first prophecy of 490 years (70 weeks) ends at 536 BC.  This is the year that King
Cyrus, from the East (Persia), made the formal decree allowing the Jews to return to
Jerusalem to rebuild the city and temple.  The next period is for 483 years (69 weeks).
Solomon’s temple took 7 years to build, so it was 1019 BC at the completion and ‘anointing’.
Subtracting 483 from 1019 we come down to the year 536 BC.  Just as Daniel’s vision had
indicated, exactly 69 ‘weeks’, or 483 years from the ‘anointing’, until Cyrus’ decree.
     For the last period of 434 years (62 weeks), we begin again at 1019 and subtract 434
years.  This comes out at 585 BC., which is the year that King Nebuchadnezzer of Babylon
captured the Jews and totally destroyed Jerusalem and the temple.  The Jewish King and his
royal sons were murdered, leaving only the King’s three very young daughters to carry to the
Celtic Isles; the ‘throne’ of David.
     Notice that ‘one week’ was covenanted with many, but not all.  This covenant was made
by God, through the King of Judah, to the Jews.  The northern tribes of Israel had been
previously captured by Assyria in 720 BC, so therefore the covenant was made to Jews only.
This king of Judah was King Zedekiah, as we read in Jeremiah 34:8-17.  (Zedekiah’s name
was originally ‘Mattaniah’, but was changed to Zedekiah by Nebuchadnezzer).
     ‘King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem to
proclaim liberty unto them; that every man should let his manservant and maidservant (being
of Hebrew nationality) go free.......But afterward they turned and caused the servants whom
they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for
handmaidens (again).’  Thusly was the covenant with some of the Israelites made, and the said
covenant then broken.
     The length of 7 years can be found in the 14th verse:  ‘At the end of  7 years let ye go
every man his brother, a Hebrew.......but ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every
man his servant, and every man his handmaiden.....to return and brought them into subjection,
to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.’ verse 16.
     Verse 18-22 goes on to explain how the sacrifice of a calf shall be transferred to be the
sacrifice of the people of Judah. ‘The princes of Judah, and the eunuch, and the priests, and all
the people of the land of Judah; their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of heaven,
and for the beasts of the earth.  And Zedekiah the King of Judah and his princes (sons) will
God give into the hand of the enemy.  Jerusalem will burn with fire, and the cities of Judah a
desolation.’
     In 585, after the 434 years of 62 ‘weeks’, the anointed ones/temple/city/Jews, were all cut
off.  The people (Judah) were taken captive to Babylon for a period of seventy (70) years,
until King Cyrus’ decree in 536 BC.
     The covenant made by King Zedekiah, occurring sometime prior to 585 BC., was to allow
liberty to all servants and handmaidens of Hebrew origin.  (Because Assyria was captured in
615 - 608 BC., many Israelites from the Northern Kingdom, who had been set free at the fall
of Assyria, joined the Southern Kingdom of Judah.  Many became servants to the Jews at this
time.  These were mainly the bonded people that were to be released via the covenant of King
Zedekiah; somewhere before 585 BC.  God wanted the Northern tribes of Israel to become
scattered across the face of the earth, not end up as captives to Babylon (again).  The tribes
that did not join Judah at that time, joined Ephraim/Manasseh, and ended up (eventually) in
the British ‘Isles’.
     Because the people went back on their promise, God became very angry and allowed the
Babylonians to capture Judah, and thereby the desolation to the city and land.  Evidently it
was the same old story again, as far as God was concerned, for in the 13th verse we read:
‘Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I
brought them out of Egypt, from bondage, at the end of 7 years let go every man his brother a
Hebrew, after he has served thee 6 years, let him go free, but your fathers harkened not unto
me, neither inclined their ear.’  And now the Jews were doing the same thing all over again,
somewhere around 606 BC.
     ‘But you turned and polluted my name....’  I believe that the 7th year freedom and liberty
to the servants was to parallel the 7th day Sabbath.  It also parallels the 6000 years of man;
then in the 7000th year - liberty - but only to those who obey Yahweh.

 Daniel’s vision of the ram and the goat   (Daniel Chapter 8)

     The vision Daniel saw beside the banks of the River Ulai involved a ram and a goat.  The
first animal that showed up in the vision was the ram.  This ram had two horns, which were
quite long, but the horn that came up last was longer by far.  Daniel saw the ram pushing
westward, northward, and southward. Nothing is said about it pushing eastward, so we mush
assume the ram came from the east.  This ram seemed quite strong, and was considered great,
as rams go, for there was no other beast mightier than he at the time, to challenge his greatness.
     Daniel continued watching this ram for a certain length of time, then lo and behold a big
old got came from the west and was seen by the entire earth (according to Daniel’s dream).
This goat had one notable horn between it’s eyes.  The goat went over to the ram and the two
started butting back and forth at each other until the two horns of the ram busted off.  The ram
was driven out of power, but the goat grew very strong indeed.  At the height of his strength
the great horn was broken, and in it’s place came up four horns.
     As Daniel continues on with his vision he noticed that a fifth horn, or a little horn, grew up
from one of the four horns.  This little horn grew pretty strong and mighty, for it even reached
the host of heave, and cast down some of the ‘stars’ of heaven to the ground.  This little horn
then proceeded to stamp all over the ‘stars’.  This little horn magnified himself even to the
Prince of the host; and because of the little horn, the daily sacrifice was taken away.  The little
horn cast the truth to the ground, and became prosperous.
     Daniel then heard one saint saying to another saint, it would take 2300 days for the vision
concerning the sacrifice and the transgression of desolation to give both the sanctuary and the
host to be trodden down.

INTERPRETATION OF THE RAM AND THE GOAT
     The ram was coming from the east, and as we are told in Daniel chapter 8, it was the
Kingdom of the Medes.  The first horn represents the Medes; the second horn the Persian
Empire.  The Empire of the Medes became great in 625 BC. with a man by the name of
Cyaxares.  The Persian Empire sprang up in 559 BC. with King Cyrus, who became the
greater of the two horns.
     The Persian Empire ruled with the Medes until the goat (Greece) rose up with that
remarkable great horn between it’s eyes.  This great horn was Alexander the Great.
Alexander conquered the two horns of the ram (Medes & Persians) in 333 BC., and was
extremely powerful for ten years.  After ten years his reign was cut short, as he died in 323
BC., at the age of 33 years.
     After the death of Alexander, his kingdom was divided into four regions, and was ruled as
follows:
1.  Helenistic States 304 BC to 30 BC.
2.  Egypt 304 BC to 8 BC
3.  Macedonia & Greece 323 BC to 148 BC
4.  Mesopotamia/Persia/Asia Minor 304 BC to 64 BC
 

    Casander took Greece and Macedonia; Ptolemy took Egypt; Lysimachus took Thrace and
Asia Minor; and the Persian heartland was under the rule of Seleucus.  There was much
haggling and fighting for years amongst these rulers for regional power of Alexander’s
kingdom.
Little Horn
     The little horn, which sprang up from these four - was ROME.   Rome overtook the four
horns, beginning with the Punic Wars (264 BC - 146 BC).  Julius Caesar came onto the
scene around 60 BC., and in 44 BC he was murdered on the Ides of March.  In 46 BC Caesar
introduced the use of the Solar Calendar, and Western civilization has been using this solar
time ever since.
     Rome (the ‘little-big’ horn), went south to conquer Egypt; it went east to conquer
Macedonia; then pushed it’s way toward the PLEASANT LAND  of  GAUL (Celtic people
aka Israelites).  The pleasant land is #6643, same as ‘ROE’.  The Israelites have been
described many times in old scripture, as the ‘roe’.  Caesar overpowered the people of Gaul,
and murdered many in the Gallic Wars of 58 - 51 BC.  The Gallic Army is the HOST of
heaven.  The prince of the host is the General of the Gallic Army.  The Celtic/Gallic people
were from the Israelite tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.  Many soldiers (host) were killed,
and priests (stars) were cast down (murdered).


THE DAILY SACRIFICE BEING TAKEN AWAY
( Daniel 8:11)
     DAILY = #8548 which means:  completed, accomplished, to cease, come to the fullest, or
to be made perfect.
     SACRIFICE = #2077 which means: to kill, or offer up; the act, or the victim of such an
act.
     TAKEN = #7311 which means: to be raised high, exalted, offered up, elevated, set up
high.
     AWAY = #7311 means exactly the same as ‘taken’ listed above.

     Consequently, instead of reading ‘the daily sacrifice was taken away’, the phrase should
read as follows:
     ‘The sacrificial offering (being the Jewish people themselves), having been made perfect, or
come to their completeness, and having been exalted above all others, was hereby offered up
to God.’
     Sacrificed were millions of Jews over the ages.  Several Israelites were also sacrificed, but
the main target was the tribes of Judah.
     Now, back to the ‘little’ horn.  Rome went on to practice and prosper for a very long time.
It destroyed the truth, and practiced deceit and lies.  Rome, then eventually the Germanic
Barbarians, stood strongly contrary to the Jews, and Yahweh.  The religion of the Jews has
been attacked by the ‘best’ of beasts, whether it be rams, goats, lions, leopards, or bear.
although the little horn continues to practice it’s deceit and lies today, there is soon coming a
time when the fury of God will destroy the power of evilness of all such beasts.  The mountain
of the British Isles (Celtic) will destroy the beast.
     2300 ‘days’ from the time concerning the daily sacrifice, until the sanctuary was to be
justified, is actually 2300 years.  This 2300 year period begins with the goat, and the time ‘he’
came into power.  This goat was Alexander the Great.  Alexander came into power after
defeating the Persian and Mede Kingdoms in 333 BC.  As time traveled over the centuries to
1967 AD, the Jews took back the city of Jerusalem.  This was EXACTLY a total of 2300
years!!!!!
     In 1967 the Jewish sacrifice had been accomplished, and their people had become
‘justified’ for their transgressions.  God’s Holy race of Israelites are now perfected; as far as
the covenant goes anyway.  They have unknowingly offered themselves as sacrificial lambs to
the slaughter in order to cleanse their entire race; with the grand finale being an offering of
‘incense’.
     The offering of incense occurs when God’s Holy people are change from mortal to
immortal once again, and are then transformed into God’s Spiritual ‘essence’, for the
transcendence into heaven; or on to the next evolutionary realm of existence.

Four types of daily sacrifices
1.  Burnt offerings
2.  Meat (or peace) offerings (bloody & non-bloddy)
3.  Sin or transgression offerings
4.  Incense offerings



THE FOUR GREAT BEASTS OF DANIEL 7
     Daniel dreams of four great beasts that rise up from the Sea; and although their dominion
would eventually be taken away, the LIVES of the first three beasts would be prolonged until
the Ancient of Days came and took His seat.  The fourth beast at that time would be thrown
into the fiery flame, at the throne of the Ancient of Days.
    The first beast was like a lion who demanded a lion’s portion of power and domain.  It
ruled as if it were indeed the King of beasts.  This beastly lion had eagles wings, which were,
according to Daniel’s dream, spread out wide and lifted the beast right up from the earth.  The
lion-beast was then made to stand up on it’s feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
     Conventional wisdom has always given the identity of this lion-beast to the Babylonian
Empire, which reigned from 625 BC to 539 BC.  But in this article I would like to point out a
few problems I have with this theory.  First of all, these beasts come up out of the Sea, which
indicated the Age of Pisces.  The Age of Pisces had not yet begun during Babylonian times.
Secondly, the lives of the four beasts are still in existence when the Ancient of Days comes,
which is at the end of the Age of Pisces.
     The lion, I feel, represents the ROMAN EMPIRE, and the eagles wings are the
GERMANIC PEOPLES, i.e. Teutonic/Barbarian tribes.  Just as the eagle represents a great
bird of prey, the Germanic tribes once preyed on established races of people for whatever they
needed, or wanted.  These Germanic peoples were woven into the Roman Empire so uniquely
that they became a part of it, then as time went by they actually became the ‘Holy’ Roman
Empire, which was the Western eagle’s wing.
      As the lion beast was lifted up off the earth, it took on a new look.  It took on the look of
a man.  Constantine, in 306 AD was the man who ‘lifted’ the Eastern wing of Rome up off the
earth.  (The two wings parallel the two legs of Nebuchadnezzar’s great image).  Constantine
gave the Empire/ beast a heart of a man; which was the religion of the beast.  This pulsating
man’s heart gave life to the beast to carry on until the Ancient of Days takes His seat, which is
at the end of the Age (of Pisces).  The beast not only stood upright like a man, but it had a
man’s heart as well.
(note:  The Germanic tribes could have been the ancient
Chaldeans, who were interwoven into the Assyrian culture.  The Romans were the ancient Assyrians.)
     Read some amazing admonishments of wonder-stricken ambassadors, who entered the
city of Constantinople for the first time (around 1000 AD.).
     “We knew not whether we were in heaven or on earth,’..............and also,  ‘For on earth
there is no such splendor or such beauty, and we are at a loss how to describe it.’  And still a
leader of a Latin army preparing to capture the city for the first time had this to say:.....’those
who had never seen Constantinople marveled greatly at it, for they could not conceive that
the world held so mighty a city, when they saw the height of the walls, the great towers
enclosing it all around, the splendid palaces, the lofty churches (the number of which was so
great that no one could believe it who had not seen it with their own eyes), and the length and
breadth of the city that lorded over all others.  And know ye that there was no man so bold
that his flesh did not creep thereat, and this was no wonder.....’.
     Constantinople was called the ‘Heavenly Jerusalem.’  The emperor Constantine was
known as ‘Christ’s vicar on earth and his co-ruler’.  It was said that Constantine was crowned
by God himself.  This Eastern wing/leg of the Roman Empire (Byzantine), had been lifted up
off the earth and was given heavenly status.  The Western wing/leg had been gravely wounded
by Germanic tribes in 476 AD., but later revived by Germanic tribes, into the infamous ‘Holy’
Roman Empire.  Constantine the Great, as he was called, was heir to all rights and powers of
the Roman Empire; and was also called the imitator of Christ.
     In 529 AD Justinian ordered ALL people to become Christian, and in 534 AD came the
completion of ‘Justinian’s Law Code.’  The Eastern wing of the Roman Empire, with it’s
religion, tried to erase the faith of the Jewish people, along with the Jews themselves, from off
the face of the earth.  They hoped, as the Assyrians and Babylonians had done previously, to
wipe out everything that was Jewish; all Sabbath days, all Jewish traditions, and even hoped to
diminish the importance of the Jewish/Israelite God Himself by appointing THEIR god a place
of equal, if not higher, position.  They went so far as to allow Yahweh an equal place in their
TRINITY of gods.  The idea of a ‘trinity of gods’ came from ancient Babylon.
     The movement of Roman religion was so powerful that it moved across time like a great
flood, reaching all corners of the earth.  It  became strong by strict enforcement and lack of
truth.  Most of the truth has long been destroyed over the past 1500 years.
     Toward the end of the Age of Pisces (which is NOW), this beast will have enticed,
deceived, stole the souls of, murdered, lied to, corrupted truthfulness, and bought his way into
the hearts and minds of millions of Celtic/Israelite peoples.  Only a remnant of Israelites will
pass the test of life to transcend into the righteous kingdom of Yahweh’s Holy ones (saints).
     Oh, that regal lion, king of the animal world.  Is there any animal that can ever hope to
match the lion’s majestic reign?  They say the beginnings of ‘Rome’ began around 600 BC.
This was about the time that Assyria was destroyed.  Could it be that the early Romans were
actually descendants of this ancient Assyrian (Babylonian) Empire?  I think yes!!!
     Constantine was the man who brought Rome’s great conversion to early Christianity about
300 AD.  The ‘cross’ became his symbol.  ‘In this sign (the cross) go and conquer’.  This
was the motto written upon the banners as they rode into battle.  The cross became the
symbol of identity for the Roman lion beast after it was lifted up off the earth.  This is quite
ironic too, because it was also the symbol used in ancient Sumer, Assyria, Egypt, Chaldee  and
Babylon, as well.  This cross symbol is some kind of ‘mark’ worthy of investigating, as it has
been around a lot longer than the Christian era; therefore making it - not merely a Christian
symbol.
     Hitler used the symbol of a cross with bent ends, called a swastika.  In the Sanskirt
language, ‘swastika’ means ‘well-being’ - go figure, huh?   The Sumerians used the cross in a
circle, with eagle’s wings.  The Sumerian cross symbolized a great red planet, called the
‘planet of crossing’.  According to Zechariah Sitchin, this red planet ‘crossed over’ our solar
system every 3600 years, causing havoc to the earth, resulting in all kinds of natural disasters.
Disasters like the Great Flood of Noah’s day.  The asteroid belt that now orbits between
Jupiter and Mars could be the residue of a crash, due to the orbiting of the great red planet.
The next widespread destruction to our earth is to be by fire, so says Scripture.  This fire
devastation could occur during the next scheduled orbit/visit of this planet of ‘crossing’, and
will also bring about the ‘end’ of life on our planet, earth.
     It would seem to me that all the ancient civilizations, have several things in common with
the Roman Empire.  They all are singled out by yahweh as being evil, beastly, and pagan.
Yahweh implied that they would be the greatest deceivers of all time.  Now we see those
ancient empires/beasts and the Roman religion have all used the same symbol, or ‘mark’ of
identification.  Could it be that the pagan religions of Sumer, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon,
Chaldee, Rome AND the ‘cross image’ DO all come from the same source?  There must be
some connection, for Yahweh surely tried to leave clues, as well as strong messages for us
through His prophets, such as Daniel, Jeremiah, and Isaiah.  Even the book of Revelation
says:  ‘Come out of her (Babylon) my people’.  Come out of the pagan Babylonian religion
before it is too late.
     There is more than the cross symbol that ties Rome to the ancient civilizations.  There is the
large bronze statue that stands in St. Peters, which is supposed to be of St. Peter himself.  The
feet of this statue have been kissed so many times by adoring worshippers, that the toes are
nearly worn away.  Some sources say that this same statue once stood in Babylon as the
pagan god - Jupiter.  The Vatican supposedly has St. Peter’s chair, which is an elaborately
ornamented throne of a chair, within it’s possession.  The twelve ‘labors of Hercules’,
depicted on square plates, with all their mythical sketch-ery, were discovered  adorning this
ancient chair.  The discovery was made upon a restoration and cleaning process.  This chair
came from Babylon too.  Nimrod was likened to Hercules and had such a chair when he
reigned as the Babylonian Hercules.  Many of the objects in the Vatican originated in
Assyria/Babylon and were carried to Rome via early Assyrians around 600 BC.  These same
objects are now possessions of the Vatican in Rome, Italy.  There are a few good books out
today that cover these fascinating discoveries - seek and you will find the knowledge and
wisdom, if you want it.
     The second beast resembled a bear which raised up on one side, and between it’s teeth
were three ribs.  ‘Arise and devour much flesh’, was the command of the bear-like beast.
     I believe the second beast, resembling a bear, are two of the Germanic tribes - the
Anglo-Saxon people.  Thousands of Anglo-Saxons (English) separated themselves from the
main body of the Germanic people and settled on the border of Europe, in the British Isles.
The race of people inhabiting the British Isles at the time of the invasion were mainly Celtic
people.  The Celtic were also known as Bretons.  The three ribs originated from three Jewish
Princesses (rib=woman=princess), who were daughters of King Zedekiah.  These Jewish
Princesses  eventually became Celtic Queens - of Ireland, Scotland and Breton..  The Celtic
people are distinguished as thus:  Cornish, Bretons, Welsh = Brythonic Celts;  Irish, Scots,
Manx are Goidelic Celts.  These two  groups make up the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.
The Picts, I believe, are ancient Jews who were taken to the Isles by Jeremiah.
     The Germanic Anglo-Saxons have in the past, spent hundreds of years trying to ‘devour’
these Celtic tribes.  In 1536 an Act of union was set up to ban anything Welsh in Britain.
Culturally and socially, England’s intent was to ‘devour’ Wales, it’s language, and it’s people
- sound familiar?
     In 1603, Scotland was united with England.  A section of Northern Ireland is still under
English rule today, and although the larger part of Ireland has been a free State since 1922, it
still remains a ‘dominion’ of England.  I might add here, that Ireland was the only part of the
British Isles to keep the Roman Empire from it’s borders, but perhaps even more fatal was the
religion of Rome, which seems to penetrate Ireland’s barrier of soldiers with devastating
consequences yet to come.
     Celtic tribes arrived on the British Isles and other sections of Europe around 600 BC.  The
term ‘British’ refers to the Brythonic (Bretonic Welsh) people.  English Anglo-Saxon
(Germanic) invasions started after the Roman withdrawal from the Isles - around 410 AD.
Much blood has been shed for Celtic freedom, but eventually the Germanic people managed
to ‘devour’ much of the culture that was Brythonic/Goidelic, and replace it with the religion
of the Germanic/Roman ‘Holy’ Roman Empire.
     I  think because the bear had three ribs in it’s mouth, all kinds of bells should start ringing, it did for me.
RIB = WOMAN = EVE = WOMAN = ISRAEL = TRIBES OF ISRAEL = JOSEPH =
EPHRAIM & MANASSEH.
THREE JEWISH PRINCESSES = THREE CELTIC QUEENS = THREE RIBS
     I believe these mysterious Celtic Bretons who came to the British Isles around 600 BC,
were in fact the Israelite tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh - joined by a remnant of Jews, whom
Jeremiah ‘planted’ in Ireland, Wales and Scotland.  Notice too, that the name ‘Brython’ aka
‘Breton’, is the origin of ‘British’.  The Hebrew word for ‘covenant’ is ‘beriyth’ or ‘berith’.
The Hebrew word for ‘man’ is ‘iysh’ or ‘ish’.  These Celtic people are without a doubt in my
mind, the covenant people of Israel.
     Why a bear beast?  A bear likes to eat fish (fishers of men) , and stays mainly to itself .  In
comparison, the Angle and Saxon tribes of the Germanic people mozied off,  away from the
other Germanic peoples.  This is not to say a bear wouldn’t devour much flesh, other than
fish, that is.  To avoid being ‘devoured’ by a bear, other than climbing the tallest tree, is to
PLAY DEAD.
     What I’m really trying to say is this:  If the world knew for certain, that the Celtic people
were indeed the Northern Israelites, hate and animosity would rise up against them, big time.
The entire world would think to ‘devour’ the Celtic people.  The Celtic have been ‘playing
dead’ without really realizing it.  They have ‘lost’, from their hearts, their true identity, that
being descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh.  Once the truth is revealed, which is
prophesied to occur in the latter days, the Celtic people will be cursed and hated.  They can
only pray for that really tall tree to climb for safety.  The tall tree being God’s plan for their
exit out of the mortal existence, or the offering of incense to begin.
     What about this bear-beast raising up on one side?  There are two masses of land that
make up the British Isles.  The larger of the two is where the bear chose to raise up.  The
smaller Isle is inhabited mainly by Celtic/Irish peoples.  And as we all know, England has
‘devoured’ much flesh  - as ‘the sun never sat on Great Britain’ - once upon a time.
     Daniel’s vision continues with a third beast.  This wa a leopard-like beast, which had upon
it’s back, four wings of a bird.  The KJV says ‘fowl’, but it is actually a ‘bird’ when you look
up the reference.  The leopard beast also has four heads, and dominion was given to this
leopard beast.
     I believe the leopard beast represents the United States of America.  Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 'reign', to be exact.  FDR served as President of the United States from 1933 to 1945.  The four wings of a bird represent FDR's four freedom's, which were: freedom of speech; freedom of worship; freedom from want; and freedom from fear (i.e. free as a bird).  These four freedoms were presented to the U.S. Congress by FDR on January 6, 1941.
     The four heads represent the 'Big Four' heads of State at the time, namely: United States; United Kingdom; USSR; and France.  FDR conferred with the 'big four' all during World War II.
     FDR was elected President on November 8, 1932, and held office until he died on April 12, 1945.  He had just begun his fourth term as President when he died.  FDR was the only President to be elected to four consecutive terms.  His total days in office (from Election Day), were 4538.  This is 12.42 years, when you divide by a solar year of 365.25 days.  If you divide by 360 (perfected cycle), it comes to 12.60 years.
     The vision of 'dominion' has also been given to the United States, which has lasted until today's end times.  The United States had become the SUPER POWER of the world with great 'dominion'.
     Daniel's fourth and final beast was a most dreadful beast.  It was so terrible that he didn't associate any animal to it, but instead explained it as being a most horrible beast.  This beast was extremely strong, and it had iron teeth.  All the better to eat you with, I suppose.  This beast did just that too.  Daniel says that it devoured (flesh) and broke into pieces with it's brass nails,  then stamped the residue with it's feet thereof.  This beast devoured the 'entire earth', tread it down, and broke it into pieces.  This beast thinks to change times and laws, and speaks against the Most High.
     This beast was much different than the first three beasts, in that it had ten horns coming out of it's head.  These ten horns, disgusting as they were, could not compare with the evilness of the little (eleventh) horn, which came up among the first ten.  This little horn came up at a later date then the first ten.  The little horn plucked up by the roots, three of the first ten horns (kings).  In this little horn were the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.  It's look was more stout than all the other horns.
     This eleventh 'little horn' made war with the saints (Jews), and prevailed against them for a time, times, and the dividing of a time (3 1/2).  The dominion of this little horn was to last for only a period of 3 1/2 years of time.
     This entire beast is eventually slain, and it's body thrown into the fiery flame at the throne of the Ancient of Days.  The kingdom will thereby be given to the saints of the Most High (Israelites - both Jew and Celtic tribes).
     This fourth beast is quite obvious to figure out.  It is Germany's 'Holy Roman Empire', which began on Christmas Day (the real reason why Christmas is so important to Christians), in the year 800 AD.  Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne (Charles the Great), at St. Peter's in Rome, and made Charlemagne Emperor and Augustus of Rome.  Charlemagne was the son of the Frankish (Germanic) King Pepin.Does this man look familiar?  It is Charlemagne - his likeness may have been used as the model for the paintings of Jesus
 
 

.     Charlemagne's coronation materialized the formation of Teutonic Christian forces, creating a most dreadfully strong beast.  A beast that would last longer, reach more people in the world than any other force on earth.  Charlemagne used the phrase 'Christian Empire', but later became known as the 'Holy' Roman Empire.
     The prince of of darkness had moved his pawns into position.  The predictively took their seat upon the throne of 'Mystery Babylon the Great'.   The harlot thereby rode upon the great Roman beast.
     The iron teeth of the beast, called by Jews - the 'AGE OF IRON', represents the iron swords raised up against them.  The beast stamped it's feet, trod down the weak (meek), destroyed the truth, and murdered millions of the real saints during the seven Crusades that lasted from 1096 to 1291.  Millions of people were killed.  Millions of goodly people were slain during the crusades in the name of religion - Christian religion.  Religion was the pulsating 'heart' of this most dreadful beast that murdered millions of people during the Middle Ages.  This religion of the beast reached the entire earth, as predicted by Daniel.  It destroyed millions of Jewish people, and an elaborate attempt was made to eliminate entirely - the truth.  A passionate desire to eliminate the truth Yahweh from the face of the earth, by incorporating the Babylonian type religion, with a little of the Jewish faith thrown in for 'good' measure, thereby creating spiritual adultery in the first degree.  This is what the great harlot represents.
     The Papal and Spanish Inquisitions were a bloody murderous time too.  Around the 12th Century, the Inquisition was created to murder all who would not conform to the corrupted faith of the 'Holy' Empire.  Millions were murdered for disagreeing with this monstrous beast.  These Inquisitions lasted right up to 1807, when Napoleon declared an 'end' to the 'Holy' Roman Empire.Napoleon

The Eleventh Horn,  or Little Horn's Identity
    The little horn is none other than the 'little big guy' himself: Adolph Hitler.  Hitler reigned in his Third Reich for exactly 4474 days - a time, times, and a dividing of a time.  Divide 4474 by 3.5 and you get 1278.375 - which is exactly 3 1/2 times 365.25 - a solar year.  A 'time' here means specifically a solar year, as this 'time' in Hebrew refers to solar time, rather than the perfected time of 360.
     Hitler, and his Nazi Army killed more than 12 million people (mostly Jews), during his reign of terror.  The Jewish Holocaust of the 1940's has even made the Middle Ages, with their Crusades and Inquisitions look like a Sunday School picnic in comparison, because of the short term of only 12.25 years in which this all occurred.
     Hitler was surely sent by this beast in these last days to rid the world of the last trace of God's chosen people.  Well, we're still here and will become stronger than ever in the future. Soon, millions of 'lost' Israelites will come out of the woodwork and re-claim their natural faith.  Thanks be to the Jewish people for being the atonement for the rest of the Israelites.
     Adolph Hitler was made chancellor on January 30, 1933.  He soon abolished freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and burnt books, which he said made the Germanic people look bad.  Not to switch gears on you here, but FDR was born on January 30, 1882.  Notice the coincidence of January 30th here.  Hitler remained in power for 12.25 years, then committed suicide on April 30, 1945 (this could actually be May 1, 1945).  FDR was in power for 12.42 years and died in office on April 12, 1945.  Hitler took away freedoms, FDR wished to bestow freedoms (as if he had the rights to these freedoms).
     From Justinian's law that made Christianity the religion of the world (529 AD), to Napoleon's denouncing the 'Holy' Roman Empire (1807 AD) - is exactly 1278.375 years - or 3 1/2 'times'.  This beast lasted 3 1/2 times, and the little horn lasted 3 1/2 times, each on a different scale, but both lasting 3 1/2 'times'.

DANIEL'S PREDICTIONS IN CHAPTERS 11 & 12
     Verses 1-4 of chapter 11 cover events from King Darius of the Medes, to Alexander of Greece; Alexander's successors; and the four divisions of Alexander's kingdom.  The King of the South is Egypt, the King of the North is Rome.  The Southern King's daughter is Cleopatra.  The North and South make an agreement of marriage and Daniel covers their movements for awhile.  The North (Rome) overtakes the South (Egypt), and becomes ruler of the world.
     Verse 16 of chapter 11 predicts the consumption of Jerusalem in 70 AD by the Roman soldier, Titus.  It tells of the princes that stand with Rome, which are the Germanic tribes.  Daniel's prophecy brings us right up to Hitler, which is covered in verses 30-45.  Ironically these are also the years that Hitler thrusted his power in Europe as well.  World War II is also covered here.
     Chapter 12 deals with the end times and the arrival of Michael, who is the great Prince who stands up for the children of Israel in times of conflict.  Michael will be standing up for all the tribes of Israel in the final days.  The name Michael means 'He who is related to God'.
     Daniel's 'time' prophecies in verses 7-12, can be matched to historical events in the past as well.  With the fall of Assyria in 615 BC, the Northern tribes of Israel (chiefly the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh), became scattered across Europe, Asia Minor, and into the British Isles.  Assyria was destroyed by Cyaxares of Media, and Naboplassor of Babylon.  As you will remember, the Northern Israelites were captured by Assyria in 720 BC.  When the fall of Assyria came about, this initiated the prophesied 'scattering' of the Northern Israelites.  The kingdom of Judah was not captured until 585 BC.
 
Scattering of Israelites begin = 615 BC
3 1/2 'times' for the scattering = 1278.375 years
Years needed to endure till end = 1335 years
615 BC - 3 1/2 times (1278.375 years) = 663.375 + 1335 yrs = 1998.375 prophecy ends in 1998
   PROPHET JEREMIAH'S MISSION
     The prophet Jeremiah was ordained a prophet before he was even formed in the belly of his mother.  Ordained a prophet to the nations of Israel, Jeremiah would speak to the people about God's warnings for critical events about to occur in their lives.
     Jeremiah was appointed over the two nations of Israel to 'root out' (evil), 'pull down' (the king of Judah), 'to destroy' (the nation of Judah), to 'throw down' (the lineage of kings from Judah), 'to build' (a remnant of Jews into a new nation), and 'to plant' (put the King's daughters in a new land to carry on the seed of David).
     God had declared, through Ezekiel (21:26-27):  'Remove the diadem, and take off the crown; this shall not be the same (any longer); exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.  I (God), will OVERTURN, OVERTURN, OVERTURN IT; and it shall be no more (overturned), until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him.'
     The crown was removed during the first part of Jeremiah's mission as a prophet.  King Zedekiah, who was disobedient to God, was murdered by the hand of King Nebuchadnezzer, King of Babylon.  All of King Zedekiah's sons and all the male nobles of Judah were killed as well.  The King's daughter's were not killed, however.  See Jeremiah 41:10, 43:6, and 42:23, for the remnant that were left.
     'Even men, and women, and children, AND THE KING'S DAUGHTERS,  and every person.....left.   So they came into the land of Egypt'.  Jeremiah 44:28
    'Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah....'
This remnant, including the King's daughters were protected by God, as promised in Jeremiah 15:11 & 14.
    '.....Verily it shall be well with thy remnant, verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.  And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not.....'
     Now we will continue with Jeremiah's mission by reading in Isaiah 37:31 - 32.
   'And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward; for out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of Mount Zion; the zeal of the Lord of Hosts shall do this.'
II Kings 19:30-31 also records the same thing.
   'And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.  For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion; the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.'
     Now turn to Ezekiel, chapter 17 - verses 22-24.
   'Thus saith the Lord God:  I will also take of the highest branch (King Zedekiah) of the high cedar (Kingdom of Judah), and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a 'tender one' (daughter), and plant it upon a high mountain and eminent:  In the mountain (British Isles) of the height of Israel (Northern tribes), will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar; and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.  And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree (kingdom of Judah), have exalted the low tree (kingdom of Israel),, have dried up the green tree (Judah), and have made the dry tree (Joseph) to flourish; I the Lord have spoken and have done it.'
     Here we can plainly see that God took the crown from Judah (Jews) and by using a 'tender' young twig (the King's daughters), God instructed Jeremiah to root up, tear down, plant, and rebuild the crown of Israel.  Today Israel (Celtic people) are fulfilling that prophecy for 'under it (this cedar tree), shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.'  The Celtic Israelites now having acquired the throne via the Jewish Princesses, have become again a self-ruling nation with much power and dominance around the world.  People from all races of the world rest under the branches of the Celtic/Israelite cedar tree.
     Chapter 49 of Isaiah is speaking to the Celtic Israelites:  'Listen O Isles, unto me, and harken ye people from afar (in the future), The Lord hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; and said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.  Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain; yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, and work with my God.'
     'And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob (Celtic/lost Northern Israelites) again to him, though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my god shall be my strength.  And he said, It is a light thing that thou should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and restore the preserved of Israel; I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles (non-Israelites), that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.....Behold these shall come from afar and lo, these from the North and from the West (northwest), and these from the land of Sinim.'
     Jeremiah 31:8-11:
    'Behold, i will bring them from the North country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth....They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my FIRSTBORN.  Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the ISLES  afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.  For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.'
     Verses 20-22:
   'Is Ephraim my dear son - is he a pleasant child?  For since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still, therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him saith the Lord.  Set thee up WAYMARKS, make thee high heaps, set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest, turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.  How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter?  for the Lord hath created a new thing on the earth,  A WOMAN SHALL COMPASS (LEAD) A MAN.'
     What we have just learned about the remnant of Jews, including the King's royal daughters, is that they were taken Northwest to the Isles of Ireland/Scotland/Wales, somewhere around 500-600 BC.  Some of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh may had already inhabited these Isles, and still many Israelites may have accompanied the Jewish royal party to the Isles.  It took the royal party a few years to reach the Isles, because they first went to Egypt, then back to Judah, then north to the Isles.  Now all Jews who remained in Jerusalem after it's destruction were in this little party led by Jeremiah, but a certain remnant, including the King's daughters.
     The royal daughters of the King of Judah were now in the Isles, where they became either Irish, British, Welsh, or Scottish Queens.  These THREE - yes, I believe there were three daughters of King Zedekiah, who now become the three 'EVES', or mother's of the three 'ribs', which the beastly bear held between it's teeth in the book of Daniel.  The three Jewish princesses became Queens on the British Isles, thus keeping the line of David going on through the Ages to the present day, as  Queen Elizabeth herself is from Scottish ancestry.
   The diadem (crown) was removed, the high (King Zedekiah) was made low, the low ones (Ephraim & Manasseh) were made high (via the daughters of the Jewish King), and the seat of power was overturned (Irish), overturned (Breton/Welsh), and again overturned (Scots), and remains in London until the rightful King/Branch/Family occupies the throne of David.
     'Behold the days will come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.  In those days, and at that time, I will cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.  In those days shall Judah be saved; and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name wherewith she shall be called: The Lord our righteousness.  For thus saith the Lord:  David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.'  Jeremiah 33:15-17
     The BRANCH (Matteh or Mattah) of righteousness is he or she who makes right that which was wrong.  The Branch is a tribe or family of Celtic/Israelite/Jewish ancestry with ties to the throne of either Ireland, Wales, Breton, or Scotland.  This special Branch will make right that which was wrong, by revealing the truth concerning the true identity of the Celtic/Israelites and bringing a multitude of Israelites back to Yahweh.  This will come about in the very near future.  All people with Celtic/Jewish blood running through their veins must return to the God of Israel.
THE NEW COVENANT
     'Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a NEW COVENANT with the house of Israel (Celtic), and with the house of Judah (Jews).  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband unto them, saith the Lord; But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord, for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.'  Jeremiah 31:31-34.
     First we must know what the term 'covenant' means (according to Scripture).  Covenant = #1285 (Strong's Concordance) is 'Beriyth' meaning a compact made by passing between two pieces (of flesh); two sections (of Red Sea); or two division (of Israelites).  It can also be the passing through fiery flames.  Scripture tells us about the heathen who passed their children through flames of fire.
     The final covenant, I believe, will be the passing of Israelites through the SPIRITUAL dimension.  The spiritual dimension being 'ruwach' #7307 = wind, air, to blow, to smell, to perceive, to make quick understanding of.  This final covenant represents the sacrifice of INCENSE.
     The first covenant with Israel was made during the passing of God's people between the waters of the Red Sea.  There was a lessor covenant made when the Jews passed through the sacrificial calf, in Jeremiah 34:18-20.  At the end of days there will be a new covenant which will involve the sacrifice of incense, and the passing of Israelites from the mortal world into the spiritual world.
     The spiritual realm is: to know, to perceive, to make quick understanding of all things.  No longer will we be strangers, lost in a sea of mortal humans, for we shall all know God's lows, and know God face to face forever.  This will therefore, be at the time of the New Covenant with the redeemed of Israel.
    You will notice there have been covenants involving fire, water, earth (flesh), and air (spirit) - the four elements.
