French Israelism

I was trying to publish a book on this topic back in 1999. Then, my sixteen year old daughter came into my life. She was going to be in this book, but, her mother and aunt got jealous. Why people deny me MY CHILD is so strange.

French Israelism (also called Franco-Israelism) is the belief that people of Frankish descent are also the direct lineal descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, and it is often accompanied by the belief that the Merovingian dynasty is directly descended from the line of King David.

One of the earliest scholars who claimed that he could trace the ten lost tribes of Israel to France was the French Huguenot writer, Jacques Abbadie, who fled French Roman Catholic persecution and later settled in London, England. In his important 1723 work, The Triumph Of Providence, he wrote:

God opened, as one might say, the tomb of the Ten Tribes by the conversion of the Northern Peoples… Certainly, unless the Ten Tribes have flown into the air, or been plunged into the center of the earth, we must look for them in the North, and in that part of the North, which at the time of Constantine was converted to the Christian faith…The Ten Tribes have since seen conversion into Christian nations, which they are, having thousands of God-fearing ministers in their midst, a people marked by physical possession of the Gospel as servants of God, and reunited with many of their brethren of Judah in the Christian church. This explanation allows us to see the historical fulfillment of the prophetic picture in the Gothic warriors, prepared for conquest, destined for empire, and ancestors of the tribes who inhabit this nation [France].(Translation from the French by M.F. Bennett, The Servant People, [1])

The claim became the foundation for the Priory of Sion hoax created by Pierre Plantard and Philippe de Chérisey in the 1960s, and it was further popularized in 1982 with the book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail,[1] and in 2003 with The Da Vinci Code.

British Israelism and Orange Order

When I met my daughter for the first time I told them I was authoring a book based upon the theories there is a Priory de Sion, elect Jews that rule much of Europe. This is three years before Dan Brown made a fortune with his “Rose Line” . I did not know these outsiders were shopping my family, looking for the best deal. Vicki and Mark told my daughter I was insane, and she should contribute to their biography – that did not sell! “It is hard to believe that a genuine Christian could accept that a candidate for the Lodge becomes “one of the elect” by joining the Orange Order. Moreover, it is startling to believe that he automatically becomes an Israelite and is then advanced to the priestly “tribe of Levi.”

Until I read in Timothy about Paul dismissing and degrading endless genealogies, my verdict on British Israelism, was not rendered. I suspect these genealogies were of the Levites that born Moses and Aaron, who Satan-Paul is out to destroy – along with John and Jesus – who appear to be born of Aaron. Then there is the burning a these small scrolls, in jars. Consider the small scroll in Revelations. I have long wondered if this scroll was the Book of Jonah, whom God tricks into going to a strange land, in order to convert the inhabitants to the Word of God – but they already own the Word of God! This land was Tarshish, that I suspect was Cornwall in England, where Phoenicians dwelt. Did these Phoenicians bring Levite Priests to Britain to establish a Judaic Temple?

I suspect John and Jesus were calling to the Lost Sheep of…
