TAPE 1 --- SIDE 2

(Isaiah 43;1) BUT NOW SO SAYS THE LORD THAT CREATED YOU, O JACOB, AND HE
THAT FORMED YOU, O ISRAEL, FEAR NOT; FOR I HAVE REDEEMED YOU, I HAVE CALLED
YOU BY YOUR NAME; YOU ARE MINE.

Here "Jacob" meaning Israel is being addressed.

(Isaiah 43;3) FOR I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, YOUR
SAVIOR; I GAVE EGYPT FOR YOUR RANSOM, CUSH AND SEBA FOR YOU.

Egypt, Cush and Saba are being given for you or in Hebrew ("tachtecha")
placed underneath you, subjected to you.

(Isaiah 43;5) FEAR NOT; FOR I AM WITH YOU; I WILL BRING YOUR SEED FROM THE
EAST, AND GATHER YOU FROM THE WEST;

(Isaiah 43;6) I WILL SAY TO THE NORTH, GIVE UP; AND TO THE SOUTH, KEEP NOT
BACK; BRING MY SONS FROM FAR, AND MY DAUGHTERS FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH;

Your Seed (offspring) from the north, south, west, and east means the seed
of Israel. The above verses are referring to the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel
at the "ends of the earth."

"ENDS OF THE EARTH" in the time of Isaiah was an expression used by the
Hebrews, Egyptians, and Babylonians to describe the most northern areas of
Europe (Spanuth p.28). Literally (and in our time) it means the
geographical extremities of the world when the Land of Israel is taken as
the center: Scandinavia, Holland, Britain, North America, South Africa,
Australia and New Zealand. Isaiah above mentions "Egypt for your ransom,
Cush and Seba" in connection with Israel.

(Isaiah 44;1) YET NOW HEAR, O JACOB MY SERVANT; AND ISRAEL, WHOM I HAVE
CHOSEN;

Israel is the servant of God. God has chosen Israel despite its faults and
despite its sins Israel remains the chosen people.

(Isaiah 44;2) THUS SAYS THE LORD THAT MADE YOU, AND FORMED YOU FROM THE
WOMB, WHICH WILL HELP YOU; FEAR NOT, O JACOB, MY SERVANT; AND YOU, JESURUN,
WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN.

(Isaiah 44;5) ONE SHALL SAY, I AM THE LORD'S; AND ANOTHER SHALL CALL
HIMSELF BY THE NAME OF JACOB; AND ANOTHER SHALL SUBSCRIBE WITH HIS HAND
UNTO THE LORD, AND SURNAME HIMSELF BY THE NAME OF ISRAEL.

Here, Isaiah predicts that towards the Last Days many will re-identify
themselves as descendants of Israel. They will be proud of it and happy
because of it. This will happen in the End Times.

"THUS SAYS THE LORD, THE LABOR OF EGYPT, AND MERCHANDISE OF CUSH AND OF THE
SABEANS, MEN OF STATURE, SHALL COME OVER UNTO YOU, AND THEY SHALL BE YOURS;
THEY SHALL COME AFTER YOU; IN CHAINS THEY SHALL COME OVER, AND THEY SHALL
FALL DOWN UNTO YOU, THEY SHALL MAKE SUPPLICATION UNTO YOU, SAYING, SURELY
GOD IS IN YOU; AND THERE IS NONE ELSE, THERE IS NO OTHER GOD" (Isaiah
45;14).

We have proven that this is referring to Israel.

We already saw above (Isaiah 43;3) concerning Israel that "Egypt (will be)
for your ransom, Cush and Seba for (placed underneath) you." (Isaiah
45;14). Again, "The labor of Egypt, and merchandise of Cush and of the
Sabeans" (Isaiah 43;14) is given to Israel.

The Prophet Isaiah (43;3 and 45;14 and the verses around them)
is predicting that the Lost Ten Tribes would rule over India, Egypt and
much of Black Africa. The trade with India would be theirs, the recompense
arriving (via the Suez Canal) at Egypt would be theirs, and they would
transport Africans across the seas in chains. Many of these Africans were
large-bodied: They are called Sabaeans since the Negro race originated in
Saba of the Sudan. Isaiah describes them as SABEANS, MEN OF STATURE, SHALL
COME OVER UNTO YOU, AND THEY SHALL BE YOURS; THEY SHALL COME AFTER YOU; IN
CHAINS THEY SHALL COME OVER. We are not moralizing here just stating
historical facts that were described by Isaiah the Prophet. This passage
refers to Israel and it was fulfilled by Britain and North America. The
British ruled India. Economically they gained very much from trade with
India, they ruled Egypt and controlled the Suez Canal linking the
Mediterranean Sea with the East. They also controlled much of Africa and
Negro Slaves in chains were sent by them and others acting on their behalf
across the Sea to North America and to the West Indies. This is what they
did and this is what Isaiah describes the Lost Tribes of Israel as doing.

In this talk we are touching on a few highlights concerning the
Identification of the Lost Ten Tribes in Prophecy. We said that there were
two sections that we may very roughly distinguish in Prophecies about the
Lost Ten Tribes: One Section is The Blessings. These are mostly found in
the Book of Genesis and which we will discuss separately in another talk.

The second aspect is a description of the Lost Ten Tribes in their places
of Exile and characteristics that can identify them. Some of the
characteristics described by the Prophets of the Lost Ten Tribes in their
places of exile are also those of the blessings. For instance the Blessings
were that the Lost Ten Tribes would be great and numerous, relatively very
rich and very powerful, and the Prophets also describe them in this way.

The Prophets confirm our interpretation of the Blessings. We said that at
least part of the Blessings were unconditional and had to be fulfilled at
some time. It is true that the Blessings that were given to Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob will only be completely fulfilled in the Messianic era. Even so,
Scripture indicates that even before the Messianic era, in the time of
Exile, many of the Blessings would come into effect. The Prophets confirm
this identification of ours. They Prophets also describe the Lost Ten
Tribes in the time of Exile as fulfilling the Prophesied Blessings from the
Book of Genesis. The Prophets describe the Exiled Israelites as being
exceedingly numerous, possessing great resources, and as being rich and
powerful.

The Prophet Hosea speaks of the Lost Ten Tribes in their places of exile.
Hosea himself was from the Tribe of Reuben. He was descended from Beeri a
Prince of Reuben.

In the beginning of the Book of Hosea it says:

[Hosea 1:2] THE BEGINNING OF THE WORD OF THE LORD BY HOSEA. AND THE LORD
SAID TO HOSEA, GO, TAKE UNTO THEE A WIFE OF WHOREDOMS AND CHILDREN OF
WHOREDOMS: FOR THE LAND HATH COMMITTED GREAT WHOREDOM, DEPARTING FROM THE
LORD.

He was told to go and take a loose woman and to have children from her. The
woman was called Gomer.

Hosea is speaking expressly about the northern Kingdom of Israel whose
people were exiled by the Assyrians. These people became the Lost Ten
Tribes. We know that Hosea is speaking about the Lost Tribes and not about
Judah since Hosea says further down "BUT I WILL HAVE MERCY UPON THE HOUSE
OF JUDAH..." [Hosea 1:7]. Judah is therefore excluded in this passage by
Hosea from the predictions about the rest of Israel.

Hosea is told to take a woman to be his wife and to have children by her.

God says that these children that Hosea will beget by his wife represent
the Northern Israelites in their places of Exile.

The woman Hosea takes to wife is called Gomer.

[Hosea 1:3] SO HE WENT AND TOOK GOMER THE DAUGHTER OF DIBLAIM; WHICH
CONCEIVED, AND BARE HIM A SON.

The name Gomer was also the name given to the Cimmerians. The Cimmerians
were a people who first appeared on the fringes of the Assyrian Empire
shortly after the Israelites were exiled. From the Cimmerians emerged other
peoples named the Scythians and Goths. Peoples associated with Gomer often
had tribal names, cultural features, and characteristics that link them to
the ancient Israelites. They also carried out actions in accordance with
what the Prophets described the Israelites as doing in their place of exile.
This name "Gomer" was also the name of a son of Japhet son of Noah. Gomer
was the father of Ashkenaz, Riphat, and Togarmah. Genesis 10.
Hosea in chapter one and two goes on at great length telling us how he had
children from the woman named Gomer. He was told to give the children names
that would describe the relationship of God to the Lost Ten Tribes in their
places of Exile.

We believe that there was a link between peoples descended from Gomer son
of Japhet and the Ten Tribes in their place of Exile. This explains why the
woman whose children, in the Book of Hosea, would represent the Ten Tribes
in their places of Exile was named Gomer.

Gomer was identified with the Cimmerians.

In Welsh tradition, the Welsh were known as Cyrmy (i.e. Cimmerians) and
call themselves Gomer (or Gomerag). The Welsh said that they together with
most of the original British Celts were led by a great man named "Hu" from
Drephrobane opposite Byzantium across the sea to Defene in Wales. Byzantium
is now called Istanbul. It is in the European section of Turkey where
Europe links up with Asia. Drephrobane was also known as Daphne and was
connected in tradition with the Lost Ten Tribes.

From the union of Hosea emerge three children who are shown to represent
the Lost Ten Tribes.

Hosea is described as having three children from Gomer. Each one of these
children represents a different aspect of the Lost Ten Tribes. The first
child is called Jezreel (1:4) whose name means "God will scatter", the
second child is called LORUHAMAH (1:6) meaning "Not have mercy" since God
will not have mercy on Israel, the third child is called "LOAMMI: meaning
"Not my people" (1:9) for God says to the Northern Israelites: "FOR YE ARE
NOT MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL NOT BE YOUR GOD". Later reconciliation takes
place between God and the Ten Tribes.

[Hosea 1:10] YET THE NUMBER OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHALL BE AS THE SAND
OF THE SEA, WHICH CANNOT BE MEASURED NOR NUMBERED; AND IT SHALL COME TO
PASS, THAT IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID UNTO THEM, YE ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,
THERE IT SHALL BE SAID UNTO THEM, YE ARE THE SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.

Hosea says that the children of Israel will be as the Sand of the sea and
that they would be called by God "My People".

Vast Numbers:

Genesis 13;14-16: "And the LORD said unto Abram ...
"And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can
number the dust of the earth, then shall your seed also be numbered.

In Genesis 15: 5: " And he took him outside, and said, Look now, and tell
the stars, if you are able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall
your seed be".

Hosea in speaking of the woman he married, who represents the Exiled
Northern Israelites, says:

[Hosea 2:8] FOR SHE DID NOT KNOW THAT I GAVE HER CORN, AND WINE, AND OIL,
AND MULTIPLIED HER SILVER AND GOLD, WHICH THEY PREPARED FOR BAAL..

[Hosea 2:17] FOR I WILL TAKE AWAY THE NAMES OF BAALIM OUT OF HER MOUTH, AND
THEY SHALL NO MORE BE REMEMBERED BY THEIR NAME.

Hosea says that Exiled Israel would be extremely rich and give their riches
to Baal. This shows that they would receive their riches while still in
their places of Exile.

The exiles will have possessed great material prosperity: corn, wine, oil,
multiplied silver and gold.

The Celts in Britain (if not elsewhere also) worshipped "Bel" which is an
alternate Middle Eastern form for "Baal." Most people of British stock have
some Celtic ancestry.

The Prophet Hosea as we mentioned already says that Ephraim (representing
the Ten Tribes) will be in the West:

[Hosea 11:10] THEY SHALL WALK AFTER THE LORD: HE SHALL ROAR LIKE A LION:

WHEN HE SHALL ROAR, THEN THE CHILDREN SHALL TREMBLE FROM THE WEST.
In the Aramaic translation it says that this represents the Exiles
returning.

[Hosea 12:1] EPHRAIM FEEDETH ON WIND, AND FOLLOWETH AFTER THE EAST WIND: HE
DAILY INCREASETH LIES AND DESOLATION; AND THEY DO MAKE A COVENANT WITH THE
ASSYRIANS, AND OIL IS CARRIED INTO EGYPT.

Ephraim is here described as following an east wind. An east one blows
towards the west. We have described in our book "Ephraim" how early Arab
tradition said that the brother of Hod (meaning in their terminology) the
Lost Ten Tribes had been blown away by a west wind because of their sins.
They had gone (said the legend) to the Holy Islands in the west. This
tradition was originally derived from early Jewish
sources.

Hosea also describes Ephraim as a deceitful merchant.

[Hosea 12:7] HE IS A MERCHANT, THE BALANCES OF DECEIT ARE IN HIS HAND: HE
LOVETH TO OPPRESS.

[Hosea 12:8] AND EPHRAIM SAID, YET I AM BECOME RICH, I HAVE FOUND ME OUT
SUBSTANCE: IN ALL MY LABOURS THEY SHALL FIND NONE INIQUITY IN ME THAT WERE
SIN.

The French described the British as Perfidious Albion. Napoleon said the
English were a nation of shopkeepers. Hosea says the same. Hosea says that
Ephraim is in the west and is a deceitful merchant. Isaiah 42:10 described
the LTTs as sea-goers living in Islands and in the Ends of the Earth:

[Isaiah 42:10] SING UNTO THE LORD A NEW SONG, AND HIS PRAISE FROM THE END
OF THE EARTH, YE THAT GO DOWN TO THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS THEREIN; THE
ISLES, AND THE INHABITANTS THEREOF.

Amos says that everything that would happen to Israel in the Last Days was
revealed to the Prophets:

[Amos 3:7] SURELY THE LORD GOD WILL DO NOTHING, BUT HE REVEALETH HIS SECRET
UNTO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.

Amos speaks of the Exile of the northern tribes of Israel.

[Amos 3:13] HEAR YE, AND TESTIFY IN THE HOUSE OF JACOB, SAITH THE LORD GOD,
THE GOD OF HOSTS,

[Amos 3:14] THAT IN THE DAY THAT I SHALL VISIT THE TRANSGRESSIONS OF
ISRAEL UPON HIM I WILL ALSO VISIT THE ALTARS OF BETHEL: AND THE HORNS OF
THE ALTAR SHALL BE CUT OFF, AND FALL TO THE GROUND.

[Amos 3:15] AND I WILL SMITE THE WINTER HOUSE WITH THE SUMMER HOUSE; AND
THE HOUSES OF IVORY SHALL PERISH, AND THE GREAT HOUSES SHALL HAVE AN END,
SAITH THE LORD.

"AND THE HOUSES OF IVORY": Archaeologists have discovered in the
excavations of Samaria in Northern Israel evidence that local Israelite
craftsmen from Samaria produced ivory carvings of a very high standard.

[Amos 4:1] HEAR THIS WORD, YE KINE OF BASHAN, THAT ARE IN THE MOUNTAIN OF
SAMARIA, WHICH OPPRESS THE POOR, WHICH CRUSH THE NEEDY, WHICH SAY TO THEIR
MASTERS, BRING, AND LET US DRINK.

"Samaria" means northern Israel where the Ten Tribes were. BASHAN was east
of the Jordan in present-day Syria but it once was part of the northern
kingdom of Israel. Bashan was also known as "Basilia". The name "Basilia"
was later applied to Scandinavia. Scandinavia was later settled by the
Goths from Gad together with other Israelites. The Tribe of Gad in Biblical
times together with the half-tribe of Menasseh and Reuben had once dwelt in
Bashan, or in "Basilia".

[Amos 4:2] THE LORD GOD HATH SWORN BY HIS HOLINESS, THAT, LO, THE DAYS
SHALL COME UPON YOU, THAT HE WILL TAKE YOU AWAY WITH HOOKS, AND YOUR
POSTERITY WITH FISHHOOKS

That is how it is translated in the King James BUT
The word translated as "HOOKS" in Hebrew is "Tzinot" meaning fleets of
ships or "great ships" and the word translated as FISHHOOKS in Hebrew is
"Sirot-dugah" meaning "fishing-boats".

Amos is saying that part of the Israelites will be taken away in fleets of
ships and in fishing boats.

[Amos 4:3] AND YE SHALL GO OUT AT THE BREACHES, EVERY COW AT THAT WHICH
IS BEFORE HER; AND YE SHALL CAST THEM INTO THE PALACE, SAITH THE LORD.

The word translated as "INTO THE PALACE": "Harmonah" in Hebrew meaning to
the Mountains of Mannae which was in Armenia. This is how it is explained
in the Aramaic (Talmudically-affirmed) translation of Yehonathan.
Amos therefore says that part of the exiles will be taken overseas and
another part taken to the region of Armenia.

In Isaiah 11:11 he speaks of different places of exile:

[Isaiah 11:11] IN THAT DAY THE LORD WILL EXTEND HIS HAND YET A SECOND TIME
TO RECOVER THE REMNANT WHICH IS LEFT OF HIS PEOPLE, FROM ASSYRIA, FROM
EGYPT, FROM PATHROS, FROM CUSH, FROM ELAM, FROM SHINAR, FROM HAMATH, AND
FROM THE COASTLANDS OF THE SEA.

In Hebrew it says "Isles of the Sea" (Iyai HaYam) rather than coastlands of
the sea".

[Isaiah 9:1] BUT THERE WILL BE NO GLOOM FOR HER THAT WAS IN ANGUISH. IN
THE FORMER TIME HE BROUGHT INTO CONTEMPT THE LAND OF ZEBULUN AND THE LAND
OF NAPHTALI, BUT IN THE LATTER TIME HE WILL MAKE GLORIOUS THE WAY OF THE
SEA, THE LAND BEYOND THE JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE NATIONS.

This verse can also be rendered as saying: "For the oppression will not be
lightened; It will be more burdensome than the relatively easier exile that
the Land of Zebulon and the Land of Naphtali experienced. The last exile
WILL BE more burdensome. It will be by WAY OF THE SEA, across the Jordan,
the highlands of the nations."

However you translate this verse it is definitely linking a portion of the
Exile to the Way of the Sea.

We know that only did the Assyrians conquer northern Israel but they also
conquered the Phoenicians and Philistines. The Assyrians used the sea-going
facilities and the ships of the Phoenicians and Philistines to transport
Israelites overseas.

Amos 1:6 speaks of the Philistines in Gaza assisting in exiling the
Israelites:

[Amos 1:6] THUS SAITH THE LORD; FOR THREE TRANSGRESSIONS OF GAZA, AND FOR
FOUR, I WILL NOT TURN AWAY THE PUNISHMENT THEREOF; BECAUSE THEY CARRIED
AWAY CAPTIVE THE WHOLE CAPTIVITY, TO DELIVER THEM UP TO EDOM:

Amos also says something similar about the Phoenicians whose major city was
Tyre:

[Amos 1:9] THUS SAITH THE LORD; FOR THREE TRANSGRESSIONS OF TYRE, AND FOR
FOUR, I WILL NOT TURN AWAY THE PUNISHMENT THEREOF; BECAUSE THEY DELIVERED
UP THE WHOLE CAPTIVITY TO EDOM, AND REMEMBERED NOT THE BROTHERLY COVENANT:

Edom in the north was linked with Assyria.

Tyre was the major Phoenician city. The destruction of Ephraim is also
linked with Tyre in Hosea.

[Hosea 9:13] EPHRAIM, AS I SAW TYRE, IS PLANTED IN A PLEASANT PLACE: BUT
EPHRAIM SHALL BRING FORTH HIS CHILDREN TO THE MURDERER.

We see from these verses that part of the Israelites was to be exiled by
way of the sea and that the Phoenicians were to participate in this exile.
Archaeological and historical evidence shows that just after the Israelites
were exiled there appeared in the south and southeast of Spain, in the
region of Tarshish, a new settlement of people. These people had an
Israelite-Phoenician type of culture and they had Hebrew tribal names such
as Menasseh. After about 200 years, from the south of Spain these people
moved to the northwest of Spain. Then they moved northward into France
(Gaul) and overseas to Ireland and Britain. They called themselves Hiberi
that means Hebrews. Irish and British legends and customs prove that these
people were of Israelite descent.

The Prophets also spoke of the Israelites being exiled overland, to areas
in the north. Amos said they would go to Armenia.

"The King of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria,
and placed them in Hala, and in Habor, and in the cities of the Medes"
(2-Kings 17;6).

[1-Chronicles 5:26] AND THE GOD OF ISRAEL STIRRED UP THE SPIRIT OF PUL KING
OF ASSYRIA, AND THE SPIRIT OF TILGATHPILNESER KING OF ASSYRIA, AND HE
CARRIED THEM AWAY, EVEN THE REUBENITES, AND THE GADITES, AND THE HALF TRIBE
OF MANASSEH, AND BROUGHT THEM UNTO HALAH, AND HABOR, AND HARA, AND TO THE
RIVER GOZAN, UNTO THIS DAY.

All the places of Exile mentioned were on the northern edges of the
Assyrian Empire. The Israelites in their places of Exile became identified
with the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Goths. They moved to the north and
later in several stages they moved into Western Europe. A small portion of
these people stayed behind in southern Russia and became known as the
Khazars. Part of the Khazars later moved to Scotland where they became
known as the Picts whereas another part stayed in southern Russia and
founded a mighty kingdom of their own. They later converted to Judaism and,
we assume, became part of the Jewish people.

From the above verses, we see how the Prophets also described historical
events that assist us in identifying the Israelites in their places of
exile.

OBADIAH

The Prophet Obadiah speaks of Esau who is also called Edom. Esau was the
brother of Jacob. The Book of Obadiah condemns Esau for betraying his
brother Israel.

Obadiah says that in the Last Days:

[Obadiah 1:18] AND THE HOUSE OF JACOB SHALL BE A FIRE, AND THE HOUSE OF
JOSEPH A FLAME, AND THE HOUSE OF ESAU FOR STUBBLE, AND THEY SHALL KINDLE IN
THEM, AND DEVOUR THEM; AND THERE SHALL NOT BE ANY REMAINING OF THE HOUSE OF
ESAU; FOR THE LORD HATH SPOKEN IT.

He says that the House of Joseph shall destroy the House of Esau.

Rabbinical sources (Megilla 6) identified Esau with Rome and with Germany
and sometimes with Europe in general. The Talmud says that only Joseph is
capable of defeating Esau (Talmud, Baba Batra 123;b). The sources do not
say that all the Germans are from Esau. The same sources also say that the
Germans are descended from Canaanites, from Gomer, from Togarmah, from
Ashkenaz, and so on. There was a tradition however that the ruling elements
of Rome and Germany were descended from Esau. We must look for a nation
that has proven itself capable of defeating Germany and Europe in general
and this is what Britain and the USA did do in the Second World War.

[Obadiah 1:20] AND THE CAPTIVITY OF THIS HOST OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
SHALL POSSESS THAT OF THE CANAANITES, EVEN UNTO ZAREPHATH; AND THE
CAPTIVITY OF JERUSALEM, WHICH IS IN SEPHARAD, SHALL POSSESS THE CITIES OF
THE SOUTH.

The words translated as "AND THE CAPTIVITY OF THIS HOST" can also be
translated from the Hebrew as meaning: "This first Exile". The first Exile
of Israelites was the Exile of the Ten Tribes by the Assyrians.

The great Commentator Rashi (Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac, 10401105, Champagne,
France): explains this verse as referring to (in his own words):

<<The first exile of the children of Israel who were exiled from
the Ten Tribes to the land of Canaanites unto Zarephath...The commentators
say that Zarephath means the Kingdom called "France" in common language.>>
So says Rashi.

Rashi identifies Zarephath with France. He says the Ten Tribes went there.
Nachmanides also said that " the house of Joseph refers to the Ten Tribes",
that they went to Zarephath, and were still there in his time, in the
farthest north. Nachmanides lived in Spain in the 1200s.

Ramban (Nachmanides, Rabbi Mosheh ben Nachman, 1194-1270, Spain; from "The
Book of Redemption", chapter 1.):

The Commentator Abarbanel who lived in Spain in the 1400s (14371508) said
that by Zarephath the intention was to both France and the Isle of England.
He see here that the Commentators understood the Bible to say that the Lost
Ten Tribes were in Western Europe.

JONAH

The Book of Jonah tells how God told Jonah to go to the city of
Nineveh and tell the people there to repent. If they did not repent they
would be destroyed. Nineveh was the capital of Assyria. Assyria was the
enemy of Israel. Jonah did not want the Assyrians to repent and avoid
destruction. Jonah tried to run away. He went aboard a foreign ship sailing
to Tarshish in the west. A storm in the sea blew up. It looked like the
ship would be sunk. The sailors could tell that the storm was supernatural
so they took lots and decided that it was because of Jonah.

[Jonah 1:7] AND THEY SAID EVERY ONE TO HIS FELLOW, COME, AND LET US CAST
LOTS, THAT WE MAY KNOW FOR WHOSE CAUSE THIS EVIL IS UPON US. SO THEY CAST
LOTS, AND THE LOT FELL UPON JONAH.

[Jonah 1:8] THEN SAID THEY UNTO HIM, TELL US, WE PRAY THEE, FOR WHOSE CAUSE
THIS EVIL IS UPON US; WHAT IS THINE OCCUPATION? AND WHENCE COMEST THOU?
WHAT IS THY COUNTRY? AND OF WHAT PEOPLE ART THOU?

[Jonah 1:9] AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, I AM AN HEBREW; AND I FEAR THE LORD, THE
GOD OF HEAVEN, WHICH HATH MADE THE SEA AND THE DRY LAND.

He said: <<I AM AN HEBREW; AND I FEAR THE LORD>>

Jonah called himself a Hebrew.

Jonah was a Hebrew going to Tarshish in Spain. The exiled Israelites were
also called Hebrews. They were destined to move from Tarshish in Spain into
France, Ireland, and the British Isles. The Celtic inhabitants of Britain
called themselves Hiberi, or Iberni, or Hiberni. These are all forms of the
same word meaning Hebrew. They called themselves Hebrews.

[Amos 9:8] BEHOLD, THE EYES OF THE LORD GOD ARE UPON THE SINFUL KINGDOM,
AND I WILL DESTROY IT FROM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH; SAVING THAT I WILL
NOT UTTERLY DESTROY THE HOUSE OF JACOB, SAITH THE LORD.

Amos refers to the Exiled Israelites as "THE HOUSE OF JACOB". AS
we mentioned, Isaiah called them "Tribes of Jacob". The Name Jacob is also
found in the name for the flag of Britain, which is called "The Union
Jack". "Jack" is short for Jacob. The name Jacob is also found in the term
"Yank". "Yank in Yiddish and dialectical Hebrew could be considered a form
of the name Jacob. A "Yank" is a slang term for someone from the USA.

Jeremiah also speaks frequently about the Lost Ten Tribes in Exile.

[Jeremiah 31:18] I HAVE SURELY HEARD EPHRAIM BEMOANING HIMSELF THUS; THOU
HAST CHASTISED ME, AND I WAS CHASTISED, AS A BULLOCK UNACCUSTOMED TO THE
YOKE: TURN THOU ME, AND I SHALL BE TURNED; FOR THOU ART THE LORD MY GOD.

Jeremiah calls Ephraim a "bullock" meaning a young bull. England is
nicknamed "John Bull". "John Bull" is a nickname for England. In Hebrew
the word used by Jeremiah for "young bull" is "aegel". The Commentator
Rashi says that young bull or "aegel" in Hebrew was a nickname for
Ephraim. England received its name from the Angles. The Angles and Saxons
conquered England from the Celts. England means "Angle-land." In Ancient
times another form of the name Angle on the Continent of Europe was Aegel
which means young bull in Hebrew. England is named after the Aegles whose
name in Hebrew means Young Bull which was a nickname for Ephraim.

The whole of chapter 31 in Jeremiah is talking about the Lost Ten Tribes:

[Jeremiah 31:20] 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.

[Jeremiah 31:21] 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.

In these verses God is calling upon Ephraim (the Lost Ten Tribes)
to repent. They are told to set up high heaps and way marks so that they
may remember where they came from and how to get back to the cities in
Israel they came out of. The words in Hebrew (as explained by the Radak in
the 1200s; Rabbi David Kimchi, 1157-1236) of Narbonne, France ) for high
heaps and waymarks (Tzionim, tamrurim) actually mean stone monuments such
as dolmens. Dolmens are a type of stone monument used in ancient times.
They are found in the land of Israel and in Spain, France, Britain,
Ireland, Holland, Denmark, and Sweden. The dolmens describe a migrating
path of people from the Land of Israel to the west. Jeremiah predicted
that they would set up this path and by tracing this path we can prove that
the Israelites went to the north and west, as the Prophets said they would.

The paths of the stone monuments show us how the Lost Ten Tribes
left their land and where they went. Jeremiah the Prophet transmits the
command of God telling us to take heed of the paths we went in, the
monuments we set up, and the way leading back to the cities of our
forefathers in the Land of Israel.
