Ancient Cathar Lost Israelite Strongholds in the Pyrenees
King Henry VIII and the Expulsion of the Roman Catholic Church from England
A century before the Puritan Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in the year of 1620, back in their home country of England, the English monarchy was going through trials and tribulations. The Roman Catholic Church now had a strangle hold over the island’s economy. More and more cathedrals and monasteries were being built and all the land of the Roman church was tax free.
Yet, it took the private affairs of King Henry VIII for the monarchy of England to divest itself from the Roman Catholic Church’s control over the religious and temporal lives of the English people. King Henry VIII’s struggle with the Roman Catholic Church was a personal affair over his six marriages when he was excommunicated from the “Church”.
In retaliation, he separated the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church and Roman papal authority between the years of 1536-1541. The Catholic Monasteries, who had possession of twenty percent of the land in England, were dissolved. King Henry VIII became the Supreme Head of the Church of England, yet, in his heart, King Henry VIII was a core Catholic believer in its theological teachings.
In spite of King Henry VIII’s personal Catholic beliefs, the flowering of the epic rise of the Protestant Revolution was finally taking hold in Great Britain. Through the strong will of King Henry VIII, Britain became a Protestant nation.
It was the Puritans and the Puritan Pilgrims called “separatists” who yearned for a spiritual revival like the ancient days. This was when the ancient Nazarene Culdee Ecclesia in Glastonbury under the guidance of Joseph of Arimathea, the rich man of Jerusalem who was the great uncle of the Jewish messiah called Yahshua HaMaschiah, did stand out as a “light to the nations” for almost four centuries (between the 1st and the 4th century CE), by refusing the yoke of Roman apostasy. King Henry VIII expelled the Roman Catholic Church from England as noted above in retaliation for Pope Clement IV excommunicating him from the “Church” when the pope refused to annul his marriage with his Catholic wife, Catherine of Aragon. The battle for the heart and soul of the Lost Tribe of Ephraim, called the Engel Sacchi (Anglo-Saxons) was now in earnest between the Roman papacy and the English crown.
Bloody Mary’s Catholic roots and the Legacy of Queen Elizabeth I of England
After the short six year reign of Edward VI, son of Henry VIII’s first marriage with Catherine of Aragon, the throne of England came under the rule of Queen Mary I, Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon’s daughter. She first, though, had to take the throne by force by assembling an army to topple a usurping monarch called the “Nine Days Queen”, Lady Jane Grey, the great grand-daughter of Henry VI.
To prevent her half-sister, Elizabeth I of England from assuming the throne of England, Queen Mary I, under the guidance of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, married Charles V’s son in 1555, Philip II of Spain of the Hapsburg Holy Roman dynasty in Spain. She became the Queen consort of the Hapsburg Holy Roman Empire dynasty in Spain and as the Queen of England reinstituted the Roman Catholic Church as the religion in England.
In that same year, Pope Paul IV issued a Papal Bull recognizing Philip and Mary as the “rightful King and Queen of England. Together, after Philip II ascended to the throne of Spain in 1556, Philip and Mary became known as; “Philip and Mary, by the Grace of God King and Queen of England, Spain, France, Jerusalem, both the Sicilies and Ireland, Defenders of the Faith, Archdukes of Austria, Dukes of Burgundy, Milan and Brabant, Counts of Habsburg, Flanders and Tirol.”
The Expulsion of the Jews from Spain on the 9th of Av, 1492
All this occurred at the height of the Spanish Imperial rule, when Spain reigned supreme with her colonies in Mexico, plus Central and South America. The gold of Aztecs of Mexico and the southern regions in Central and South America made Spain the wealthiest nation in the world.
Yet the reign to Queen Mary I, became a harbinger for the decline of the power of the Roman papacy. Intoxicated by wealth and power, Queen Mary I also inherited the “Church’s” bloody past highlighted in the Inquisitions first against the Jews in the late 15th century until the Sephardic Jews were officially expelled from Spain on the 9th of Av, 1492.
Under the providence of Hashem the G-d of Israel, the Jewish Kabbalist Salvador Fernando Zarco who was known in history as Cristobal Colon became the most famous founder of the land of America. Today Salvador Fernando Zarco is known as Christopher Columbus.
Columbus (Colon) and his ship’s crew on the Santa María, the Pinta, and the Niña, “sailed the ocean blue in 1492” after resting on the Seventh day Jewish Shabbat, that infamous day called the 9th of Av, when the Jews from Spain were expelled. They aimed their ships and their Jewish crew to the west and went on to discover not the pathway to India, but founded the New World in
Central and South America.
Three centuries after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain (1492 CE), and two centuries after King Henry VIII’s expulsion of the Roman Catholic’s from England (1536 CE) the zeal of Protestant missionaries followed the rise and expansion of the British Empire. They took the message of the Jewish messiah all around the world.
Messianic Aliyah of the Disciples of the Vilna Gaon in Europe and the First Great Awakening in America
This paralleled the First Great Awakening in America and England in the mid-18th century (1730-1740s). This “awakening” was directed solely with the Lost Tribes of Israel of the House of Ephraim (Efrayim) on the Island of Britannia and England’s colonists in America. Yet, at the same time the G-d of Israel was also simultaneously open up the prophetic eyes of one of the most influential rabbis in Europe. The disciples of the Vilna Gaon were awakened by their Rav that the time of the revealing of the messiah was soon at hand.
According to the disciples of the Gra, called the Vilna Gaon, it was time for the Jewish people to begin their aliyah and return to the habitation of the Land of Israel. Only when the Jewish people became the dominate people occupying the Land of Israel would the messiah “come” or be revealed.
Biblesearchers Reflections wrote about these amazing parallel movements between Judaism (return of the disciples of the Vilna Gaon) and Protestant Christianity (First and Second Great Awakenings) in the years between 1730 – 1770 and the year 1810 – 1850, in the article titled, “The Great Aliyah to Israel by the Disciples of the Vilna Gaon”, and as we read:
BibleSearchers Reflections – “At this same time, as the descendants of the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, were grappling with “Two Great Awakenings”. The First Great Awakening would come in the prime years of the Vilna Gaon between the years of 1730-1770 and the Second Great Awakening would arrive in the Eastern Seaboard of America and the British Isles as the “Great Aliyah” was beginning with the arrival of the disciples of the Vilna Gaon in 1808-1810.”
Later BibleSearchers Reflections wrote:
BibleSearchers Reflections – “The messianic fervor continued to develop as a group of the disciples began the official process of seeking to reestablish the authentic semichah (rabbinic ordination) and the re-instituting of the Great Sanhedrin for the Jews. Both of these seminal events were necessary to occur, according to Jewish prophecy, before the process of Redemption would begin heralding the coming of the Maschiah.
In the year of 1837, a few of the Jewish Separatists began, according to the prophecies of Zechariah, to discontinue the tradition of mourning for the destruction of Jerusalem during the day of Tisha B’Av at the recitation at midnight of the Tikkun Chatzot, for the redemption was now at hand.
They were anxiously waiting the coming of the Maschiah ben Dovid (Messiah son of David) at a most mysterious of times when their lost tribal brothers of the House of Israel along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States during the Great Awakening in the late 1830s were also anxiously preparing for the return of Yahshua, whom they called by the Greek transliteration, the name, Jesus. Together a profound awakening would forever change both the Lost Israelites and the Jews.”
As the British Empire took control of the “gates of trade and enterprise” around the globe, the English missionaries followed and were exposing the gentile world to the “rays of Light” of the Jewish Nazarene messiah, called Yahshua. This became a “pathway” of learning and understanding about the G-d of Israel and His covenant with his people; all Twelve Tribes of the “Children of Israel”.
The Protestant revolt quickly fanned out over the continent of Europe. Yet, it did not start with the British Pilgrims and Puritans but farther south in the Mountain regions of the Pyrenees. Here is where the “separated” Protestants (Protest-ants) were migrating into Southern France from Roman Catholic Northern Spain. By why?
Imperial Rome sacked not Once but Twice by the Israelite Visigoths and Vandals
Here in the regions of the rugged mountain peaks and caves of the Pyrenees were the persisting legends of the hidden “Treasures of Solomon’s Temple” that were captured in part first by the Visigoths, and later completed by the Vandals. The descendants of the Germanic tribes of the Ostrogoths, Visigoths and the Vandals regarded themselves as the “guardians of Solomon’s treasures”. Why again!
According to numerous scholars, these Germanic tribes were the Lost Tribes of Israel, “wandered”, just like Abraham of Old, from the land of their exile, called Khurasan beneath the Black and the Caspian Seas. They traveled west, like their later descendants, the American pioneers did in the mid 19th century and emigrated into the desolated forests of Northern Gaul and the legacy of the Lost Tribes of Israel upon Protest-ant Christianity is best understood by the legacy of the Visigoth and the Vandals and as emissaries of Divine Judgment upon Apostate Rome.
Though “lost”, Hashem knew always where they were and guided them in their “wanderings”. These same “foreigners”, whose origins were unknown to the Romans, were fought by the Roman legions in order to drive them as far away from Rome as possible into the northern regions of Gaul. There as the Celtic, Cymric, the Sacchi and the Angles, and now with the arriving Germanic tribes, they all began to cohabitate in close proximity to each other. And why should they not co-habitate near to each other? Were they not all cousins by their ancient roots as the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
What is even more amazing, they kept to their tribal Israelite roots, just like they did in the Land of Israel. The Brits remained English, the Swedes and the Norwegians kept together in Scandinavia, except those warriors who went abroad conquering lands of their Israelite cousins. Through the Druids and the troubadours, they maintained separate genealogies. It would not be, since the mid-19th century, did the last four generations of the Northern countries of Europe begin to amalgamate over the last 160 years (1840-2000). Clearly as we moved into the 3rd millennium, the time of the end had arrived.
What was strange, the image of the imperial might of Rome was shattered when they met the Lost Israelites. Rome became a wimp in the presence of the fierce warriors of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. The first two sackings of Rome were conducted by the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel; the Visigoths and the Vandals. Not only that, they removed from Rome what was not Rome’s; the gold from the Houses (Temples) of Solomon and Herod. Not only that, every time the Lost Tribes of Israel engaged the Romans in a military engagement they whipped and destroyed the Roman legions as they eroded the invincible power of the Roman Empire in the Germanic forest of Europe. This fact was stated with the greatest of clarity by John Heywood
John Heywood – “In reviewing this subject I cannot refrain from giving a brief account of a battle of these very Israelites, called by the Romans the "Cherusi." The scene of this battle was between the headwaters of the Ems and Weser (Rivers), and called Saltus Teutobergiensis.
This battle has been narrated by Sir E. Creasy, "as one of the decisive battles of the world." The leaders in this battle, A. D. 9, were Quintilius Varus, of the Roman legions, and Arminius, the leader of the Cherusi (the Israelites.) This battle, which lasted two days, was so fatal to the Romans that the tidings of it filled all Rome with an agony of terror, and Caesar Augustus was so alarmed that he often beat his head against the wall and exclaimed, "Qaintilius Varius, give me back my legions." The blow struck by Arminius was never forgotten."
It was the Lost Sheep of the Tribes of Israel as the Visigoths and the Vandals who later toppled Rome, twice, ransacked the city and took re-possession of the gold of Solomon’s Temple that was sent back by the Israelite Persian Shah, Cyrus the Great, to rebuilt the Temple of Zerubabbel. According to the vast number of legends that haunt the regions along the Pyrenees Mountains today in Southern France and Northern Spain, these treasures were repossessed by the Visigoths and the Vandals and placed in safe keeping in secret chambers in these rugged mountains caves.
Catholic Inquisition attacks the Lost Israelites known as the Cathars, Huguenots, and the Waldensians
Then in the 12th to the 16th century, the Cathars and later the Huguenots and the Waldensians were hunted by the Roman Catholic Inquisition in Southern France. By the tens of thousands were captured and destroyed by the most ignoble of means, by the Catholic Inquisition. They again morphed again with the arrival of the great Protestant reformer, John Calvin, who for the first time, spoke to his audiences of the Lost Tribes of Israel, that they had divine destiny. And that they did for the prophecy as given by Hashem, the G-d of Israel to Ezekiel the prophet in chapter 36, was to be fulfilled centuries later as their prophecy of destiny.
The Cathars, and later the Huguenots, and the Waldensians, now infused with destiny by John Calvin and the Calvinists became the Puritans who as political activists sought to change the monarchy of England. Those that gave up the concept of reforming the monarchy of England became the Pilgrim separatists and founded the Plymouth Colony in the 17th century in America, the New World.
It was their English Celtic and Anglo-Saxon cousins in Great Britain and the United States that later became the American and British missionaries of the 19th century during the height of England’s Victorian Era.
Yet, it was after the height of the Inquisition’s annihilation of the Cathars in the Pyrenees of Southern France (12th c.); and the Inquisition’s expulsion of the Sephardi Jews from Spain in 1492 that the witness of the Huguenots and the Waldensians in the Alps of Switzerland and Northern Italy laid their testimony to the Messiah called “The Nazarene” that the “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel”, whom the Jewish messiah claimed was his sole mission proved that it was they who were the first converts in England and Northern Europe.
It was during the infamous era of the mid-16th century that Queen Mary I became known in her five year rule (1553-1558) over the English people as “Bloody Mary”. Under her rule, the Church of Rome returned to England to rule through bloody oppression under the rule of power, greed and control, rather than to guide the English people in the ways of G-d’s righteousness. For five bloody years, “Bloody Mary” carried the torch of Roman Catholicism as she had 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake in what has been called the Marian Persecutions.
It took the Catholic massacres of the Waldensians who lived across the English Channel in Provence, France in 1545 who began to polarize the Europeans between those who would follow the path of Edomite Rome and the Northern European Lost Israelites. As early as 1631, the Protest-ant scholars began to regard the Waldensians as the early forerunners (13th century) of the Protest-ant Reformation, a mantle that would later be given to John Wycliffe (14th century) and Jan Hus (15th century). They were all directly targeted by the Roman Catholic Church, and the latter burned at the stake.
The facts that the Reformation took its greatest hold upon the minds and souls of the populous living in Northern Europe, suggests that there were the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel. Somehow in their “collective mind”, they knew that they were different when they arrived in the virgin forests of Northern Gaul, has been the testimony of numerous antiquarian researchers. These archives have then have been collected and collaborated with modern Jewish historical scholarship such as Yair Davidiy with Brit-Am, whose research on the Lost Tribes of Israel has been intensively documented and published in numerous historical volumes, that the nations of Northern Europe were colonized by the Lost Tribes of Israel known in history as the Celtic, Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings, along with the incoming waves of the Germanic tribes called the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, and the Vandals.
Even today, the Mechoqeck of Judah, the judiciary trained Jewish rabbanim, have now taken up the mantle of historically of the truth and verity of the return of the Lost Tribes of Israel. This testimony is especially affirmed by the Jerusalem based Rabbi Avraham Feld, founder of Kol Ha Tor, based upon the analysis and affirmation of the extensive documentation left by the ancient Hebrew prophets; that it is a biblical mandate that the Northern Kingdom of Israel will be redeemed and restored at the time of the end. It is a biblical mandate that the descendants of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, that were exiled, will, at the end of day, restored and redeemed.
It is amazing that the Protest-ant reformers who were viewed as rightist seditionists in medieval Catholic Europe, is the same “mantra” and attackd given today by the international press against the Orthodox “settlers” who are living upon the same land inhabited by the Northern Ten Tribes of Israel. It is these Jewish youth who live on the tribal lands of the House of Joseph through the descendants of his youngest son, Ephraim, who was given the tribal blessing. Both groups, four hundred and fifty years apart, had a dominate sense of “destiny” and “chosenness” and both of them believed in the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The Mérindol Massacre in 1545 targeting the Waldensians hiding in the mountains of Provence just seventy-five years before the Puritan Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. This massacre became the lynchpin that shook European minds that humans had the indelible right to freedom of worship and speech. It was reported that hundreds to thousands were massacred and tortured for their emuna or faith in the G-d of Israel. These memories were already sealed in the minds of the Pilgrims before they set sail on the Mayflower and traveled over the Atlantic to the New World. Yet, these harsh memories were again wrestled from the depths of amnesia when the tales of the Massacre by the Duke of Savoy in the year of 1655 shocked them again of their fellow brothers and sisters in Europe when stories began to trickle across the Atlantic Ocean. As the stories unfolded:
Wikipedia – “In 1655 the Duke of Savoy commanded the Vaudois to attend Mass or remove to the upper valleys, giving them twenty days in which to sell their lands. In a most severe winter these targets of persecution, old men, women, little children and the sick "waded through the icy waters, climbed the frozen peaks, and at length reached the homes of their impoverished brethren of the upper Valleys, where they were warmly received." There they found refuge and rest. Deceived by false reports of Vaudois resistance, the Duke sent an army. On 24 April 1655, at 4 a.m., the signal was given for a general massacre, the horrors of which can be detailed only in small part.
The massacre was so brutal it aroused indignation throughout Europe. Oliver Cromwell, then ruler in England, began petitioning on behalf of the Vaudois, writing letters, raising contributions, calling a general fast in England and threatening to send military forces to the rescue. The massacre prompted John Milton's famous poem on the Waldenses, "On the Late Massacre in Piedmont".
Out of the Second Great Awakening in the mid-19th century, called the “Advent Awakening”, one of the leaders, Ellen Gould White, visited twice in 1885 and 1887, the mountainous valleys where the Cathar descendants called the Waldensians lived along the Italian and French border in the mountainous regions of the Alps. Her memoirs of that visit and the legacy and legends that haunt those pristine valleys were written down in chapter 4, called the “The Waldensians” of her most famous book, titled, “The Great Controversy”.
Ellen Gould White - "In lands beyond the jurisdiction of Rome there existed for many centuries bodies of Christians who remained almost wholly free from papal corruption. They were surrounded by heathenism and in the lapse of ages were affected by its errors; but they continued to regard the Bible as the only rule of faith and adhered to many of its truths. These Christians believed in the perpetuity of the law of God and observed the Sabbath of the fourth commandment....
But of those who resisted the encroachments of the papal power, the Waldenses stood foremost....The faith which for centuries was held and taught by the Waldensian Christians was in marked contrast to the false doctrines put forth from Rome....Through ages of darkness and apostasy there were Waldenses who denied the supremacy of Rome, who rejected image worship as idolatry, and who kept the true Sabbath...Here, for a thousand years, witnesses for the truth maintained the ancient faith." (Ellen White, “The Great Controversy”, chapter on "The Waldenses")
Yes, the Cathars and the Waldensians plus all the surrounding sects were corrupted in part in their concepts of the true Torah teachings given to the Hebrews at the mount called Sinai. For those critics who wish to demean the testimony of the lives of which these people’s lived, and the G-d in which they served, have only to remember, that the apostasies in which they adhered were but remnants of the apostasies in which they adhered to a the worshippers of Baal and the “Golden Calf” worship of the ancient Northern Tribes of Israel. Yet their biblical apostasies paled in terms of the corruption and the apostasy of the ancient Roman Christian Church, called in Revelation the “mother of harlots”. Most critics of the Waldensians today, would rather adhere to the apostasy of the ancient Church of Rome, and denounce the lives of the Lost Tribes of Israel, who as the Cathars and the Waldensians lived and gave their lived in testimony of the G-d of their forefather’s in which they remembered only in part.
The Protestant Queen Elizabeth I defends England from the Holy War assaulting the Isle of Britannia by the Catholic Spanish Armada
This religious war to control the monarchy of the British throne continued through Queen Mary’s successor, when Queen Elizabeth I came to the throne of England. Her rule over England was continued to be challenged by the Catholic King of Spain, Philip II, husband of “Bloody Mary” who refused to resign his claim to the throne of England when his wife, Queen Mary I, died. For most of Queen Elizabeth I’s life, she was under the threat of assassination by her royal Germanic cousin in Spain.
When Queen Elizabeth I assumed the Throne of England, she also returned England to Protestant Christian rule, and permanently exiled the Roman Catholic Church’s rule from England for the next 453 years. She also supported the United Provinces with the Dutch revolt against Spain and assisted the Dutch by English attacks on Spanish settlements and the pirating of the Spanish galleons that carried the gold from the New World to Spain also by the “Lost Triber” called Sir Francis Drake.
King Philip II of Spain in return retaliated and with the support of Pope Sixtus V planned a “crusade” against the English people in order to overthrow the Protestant rule of Queen Elizabeth I with the invasion of England with the Spanish Armada.
The Spanish fleet included; 151 ships, plus 28 warships of the Spanish Royal Navy, 20 galleons and four Neapolitan galleasses with 18,000 soldiers plus 1,500 brass guns, and 1,000 iron guns. There were also 108 converted merchant ships. The plan of the Armada under the command of the highly experience Marquis of Santa Cruz was to sail through the English Channel, and anchor offshore of Holland.
At the same time in the Spanish controlled Flanders, the Duke of Parma's army of 30,000 tercios would stand ready for an invasion into the southeastern portion of England. But the G-d of Israel chose otherwise.
The Marquis died prematurely and Medina Sidonia, a high-born courtier with no sea command experience assumed control of the armada. The Spanish Armada was routed and the Isle of Britannia was saved a major invasion with the assistance of the G-d of Israel who destroyed the Spanish Armada at sea.
The affect upon the English morale with national pride lasted for decades in the future. The legends of Elizabeth’s Protestant rule over the Catholic hegemony of Continental Europe invoked the blessings of the G-d of Israel over the Spanish with inscriptions that stated, “Flavit Jehovah et Dissipati Sunt”, “Hashem blew with His winds, and they were scattered”. The battle of the Spanish Armada was accounted as the greatest victory in English history.
The Lost Tribal ruler, Oliver Cromwell, and the Puritan’s Attempt at ruling the House of Ephraim
In the context of history, it was only 42 years later after the defeat of the Spanish Armada that the Pilgrims and the Puritans landed at Cape Cod and planted their legacy on the beach at Plymouth Rock. Over the next decades the pacifist Pilgrims, became absorbed as politically active Puritans. They were a decisive force with the founding of the Republic called the United States of America. They were instrumental in planting the seeds of religious freedom, and bestowed the concept of the “Manifest Destiny” upon the American nation.
Oliver Cromwell the Puritan Ruler of the English Protectorate
The transition of a pacifist Pilgrim to a political activist Puritan was no doubt part of G-d’s divine mission. The reverse transition from Puritan back to a Pilgrim as the “age of man” transitioned to the “age of the Messiah” we wonder what life will be like. What is the “Manifest Destiny”, a role that American has played out so eloquently over the past two and one half centuries, as it also reaches it imperialistic apogee, is discussed in greater detail in the web article titled, “Puritan Belief and Manifest Destiny”.
Like the “Tea Party” in 21st century America, the political arena like monarchial England in the 17th century was quite messy. Oliver Cromwell was only 21 years of age. He would be a major for over the next 30 years during the future English civil wars; King Charles I’s personal rule of eleven years of tyranny, the First Civil War (1642-46), the Second Civil War (1647-49), the Third Civil War (1649-1651), the English Commonwealth (1649-1653), and Oliver Cromwell’s Protectorate (1654-58). Little did the Puritans on the Mayflower know that in the future, one of their own, Oliver Cromwell would topple the reign of King Charles I and establish an English Protectorate on the Isle of Britain.
Oliver Cromwell would impeach the king of England on charges of high treason against the English people, yet the Puritan’s experiment in parliamentary democracy with one legislative body failed for they did not have a balance of power with “checks and balances”. Unfortunately the totalitarian rule of a British monarchy effectively was transferred to a totalitarian Christian ruler by a Puritan dictator, Oliver Cromwell between the years of 1653-1658.
There the Puritans would establish a new reformed Parliamentary system in England on their version of Biblical Christianity. Little did they know that they were all members of the various of the Lost Tribes of Israel scattered all over the nations we know today in the northern sector of Northern Gaul or Modern Europe. It was they, so became the tribes in part of Ephraim, Dan, and Simeon that had settled in the Isles of the West in Ireland, Scotland, and England twelve to eighteen centuries earlier and fulfilling the biblical prophecies of the ancient Hebrew prophets of old given twenty three centuries earlier.
Oliver Cromwell did succeed. For the first time in English history, all three national peoples, the English, the Scottish and the Irish, were united into one. Cromwell established the first rule of a United Kingdom of Great Britain and established the foundation for the biblical prophetic tribes of the House of Joseph, when the Patriarch Israel (Jacob) gave the tribal blessing to the younger son, Ephraim, now Great Britain, and a prophetic blessing to the eldest son, Manasseh would become a great nation, now known as the United States of America.
It was Oliver Cromwell, who successfully separated the Tribes of Joseph. The British would later become identified as the British Empire and the House of Ephraim. The Americans would become identified as Ephraim’s older brother, Manasseh, who would be identified with the new Republic of the United States of America.
The Influence of the Pilgrim Separatists and the Puritan Political Activists upon 21st century American Politics
Influenced in this dynamic struggle for power and the expression of religious freedom, two streams of Lost Israelite expression of religious tolerance came to the forefront; the Pilgrim Separatists, and the Puritan political activists. These same streams are again alive and well as the final chapter of prophetic fulfillment is closing this era of human history. The era of Goyim (Gentile nations as imperial states) is now over. The era of the Messianic Kingdom of the House of Judah and the House of Israel as Joseph is today here and ascending into its new horizon.
The power and vision of both the Pilgrim Separatists and Puritan Political Activists, as they stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock have continued to live upon the American continental area. For almost 400 years (1620-2020), the length of time their forefathers lived in Egypt, they utilizing their vision and skills for the future embodiment of a future “era of the messiah”. The “Separatists” it appears will remain separated from the mainstream political arena. Yet, in the religious underground they remain a potent force, as their ancestral forefathers the Puritans struggle to reclaim the fame of the American republic as the bastion of freedom and the “home of the brave”.
With the emerging of the reality of the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel, we can now see the finger of the L-rd of host guiding the affairs of the nations. How the final days of the Days of Tribulation, only the G-d of Israel knows. What is clear in the prophets of the Hebrews, is that together the Jews and the return of the House of Lost Ten Tribes of Israel will together forge Hashem’s warriors that will bring to the fulfillment of all the final destruction of the global powers of dominion, force, corruption and evil that wield control in every sector upon this Planet Earth.
All mankind will be participants, either for the goodness of Hashem, the One G-d of Israel, or the usurping power of evil of Satan’s dark forces. One thing is clear; no man will be left behind without his consent, for all will have to make a choice, for the G-d of Israel or HaSatan.
Obadiah 1:17-21
“On Mount Zion there will be refuge, and it will be holy;
And the house of Jacob will inherit those who had dispossessed them.
The house of Jacob will be fire, the house of Joseph a flame,
And the house of Esau (Rome) for straw; and they will ignite them and devour them.
There will be no survivor to the house of Esau, for Hashem has spoken.
And (those of) the southland will inherit the Mountain of Esau;
And those of the lowlands (will inherit) the Philistines,
And they will inherit the fields of Ephraim and the field of Samaria;
And Benjamin (will inherit) Gilead;
This exiled host of the Children of Israel who are among the Canaanites until Zarephath,
And the exile of Jerusalem which is in Sepharad will inherit the cities of the South.
And saviors will ascend Mount Zion to judge the Mountain of Esau,
And the kingdom will be Hashem’s. (The Stone Edition TaNaKh)
