JESUS' DISCIPLES TO BRITAIN #3

 The Lost Disciples to Britain #3

The Glory in the Name

DRAMA OF THE LOST DISCIPLES

by George Jowett (1961)

WHY THE NAME "BRITIAN" "BRITISH"?

     AFTER the Kimmerians had settled in the Isles of the West

they were known to the rest of the world by another name. The

name held no affinity with their racial title by which ancient

ethnologists identified them. In many respects the name was more

of a sobriquet which they appeared willingly to accept.

     They became referred to as "British." Why were they so

named?

     What was so different about the Kimmerii, or their way of

life, that actuated other nations to christen them with this

strange surname that was - ever to identify them before the

world, both ancient and modern, even to the subjection of their

racial name?

     Ancient chroniclers leave no doubt that it was the religious

beliefs and customs of the Kimmerians that set them markedly

apart from all other faiths. It was diametrically opposed to all

other religions of that time. They believed in One Invisible God,

and the coming of a Messiah. They had no graven images, 

abhorring the sight of idols. They always worshipped in the open, 

facing the east. They had a passionate belief in the immortality of

life, to such an extent that both friend and foe claimed this belief 

made them fearless warriors, disdainful of death.

(Exactly what or in what way they believed in immortality is a

question. Was it the popular "immortal soul" teaching - living on

after physical death in a form that could think and talk etc. is

debatable. If so, then it was a false idea they had - Keith Hunt)

     The religious ritual that appeared to make the greatest

impression on the foreign historians was their custom of carrying

a replica of the Ark of the Covenant before them in all religious

observances, as did their forefathers in old Judea. For centuries, 

as the Kymri passed through foreign lands in migratory waves 

on their march to the Isles of the West, the chroniclers noted that 

this custom was never omitted.

     It was this ritual that gave birth to their British surname.

The name British is derived from the ancient Hebrew language,

with which the old Cymric language was contemporaneous. Formed

from two words, 'B'rith' meaning 'covenant', and 'ish' meaning a

man or a woman. Joined as one. word the meaning is apparent

'British' means a 'covenant man or woman'. The ancient word 'vin'

attached to the word 'B'rith', signifies 'land', therefore the

interpretation of the word 'Britain', as then and still employed,

is 'Covenant Land'.

     Unknowingly, the ancients named the Keltoi rightly. They

were, and still are, the original adherents of the Covenant Law.

With the later adoption of Christianity, and the name Christian,

a startling new interpretation presented itself. The 'Covenant

People' became the 'Consecrated People', living in the 'Covenant

Land'. This carries the implication that by the vicarious atonement 

the British were consecrated in the Covenant Law and initiated 

to be the advance guard of Christianity, to evangelize the world 

in the name of Jesus Christ.

MUCH FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT

     From a close study of their religious beliefs everything

points to the fact that the Kimmerians held fast to the

patriarchal faith of the Old Testament. Many eminent scholars

point out the great similarity between the ancient Hebrew

patriarchal faith and the Druidic of Britain.

     Sir Norman Lockyer, in "Stonehenge and Other British Stone

Monuments" (p. 252), writes: "I confess I am amazed at the

similarities we have come across." Edward Davies, in "Mythology

and Rites of the British Druids" (Pref., p. 7), states: "I must

confess that I have not been the first in representing the Druidical 

as having had some connection with the patriarchal religion."

     Wm. Stukeley, in his book "Abury" (Pref., p. I), affirms

after a close study of the evidence: "I plainly discerned the

religion professed by the ancient Britons was the simple

patriarchal faith."

     Earlier testimony also affirms. Procopius of Caesarea, in

his "History of the Wars" (A.D. 530), says: "Jesus Taran, Bel -

One only God. All Druids acknowledge One Lord God alone" 

(De Gothicis, bk. 3).

     Julius Caesar wrote, 54 B.C.: "The Druids make the

immortality of the soul the basis of all their teaching, holding

it to be the principal incentive and reason for a virtuous life"

(Gallic War, VI, I4).

(Was this the popular pagan "immortal soul" teaching or was it

that we have a "spirit in man" that goes back to God on death?

This [the spirit in man] is what the Bible teaches, and a full

in-depth study concerning it can be found on my website - 

Keith Hunt)

     It is a curious fact that the British title was never conferred on 

their Keltoc kinsmen in Gaul, Ireland and Scotland.

     Historically the people of Gaul were even referred to as Gauls -

Gallie and the land known as Gaul-Gallica, and Galatia, until the

coming of the Franks. It is believed that the Biblical version of

the Epistle to the Galatians was addressed to the Gauls of

Galatia. The inhabitants of Hibernia (Ireland) and Caledonia

(Scotland) retained both their geographical and original racial

name. The peoples of what is now England and Wales actually 

never lost either. The land was always Britain and the inhabitants 

were documented as British Celts. The Irish perpetuated the name 

Kelt but the Scottish, while known to be Kelts, were called Gaels. 

One immediately recognized the similarity between the name 

Gaul and Gael - Gallic and Gaelic. Incidentally, the Gaels were 

the original inhabitants of Iberia. After centuries of domicile in

Iberia, a large host migrated into Caledonia (Scotland), making

way for the constant flow of Kelts from the Continent, to Iberia

(or Hibernia), who retained the Irish title.

     Even though this distinction in names has always persisted,

the affinity between them was recognized. The islands were 

always referred to as the Brittanic Isles even in ancient times.... 

Not until the reign of James I, when the Irish and Scottish began

to be blended into a central Parliament, were the islands known 

as the British Isles and the United Kingdom. Of later date is the

name Great Britain.

     This may appear confusing to some who more commonly 

speak of the people of Britain as English and Welsh, and the race 

as Anglo-Saxon. The national name English was never shared, 

or employed to designate, the other inhabitants of the Isles. To

this day they each retain their Celtic clan title of Welsh, Irish

and Scottish, in spite of the fact that they all shared the title of 

British citizens.

ANGLO-SAXON AND OTHERS

     The name Britain continued to name England and Wales, long

after the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in A.D. 426. Not until the

invading Normans began to be domestically absorbed by the British

Kelts and Saxons did the Anglican title obtain ascendancy. From

the lesser used name Angle the national name took form to label

the land and its people, England. Strange as it may appear on

first thought, yet there are no misnomers in the various names

and titles. Racially the Kelts, Anglo-Saxons and Normans were 

but separate tribal branches of the same Keltic race. This also

includes the Danes, who had invaded Britain in A.D. 787.

     Ethnologically the whole Keltic race is composed of the

Keltic-Saxon-Scandinavian stock. Historically the arrival of the

Danes, Saxons and Normans are referred to as invasions, but

actually it was a converging of the one race into their predestined 

homeland, which to them and to the world became their Motherland, 

Britain. Together they have grown in stature, wearing the British 

title like a badge, in honour and with glory.

     The fact that the British name was singularly identified

with the people of England and Wales is more curious than

mysterious. As the history of ancient Britain unfolds before us

we can understand the reason more clearly. Irrevocably they were

bound together by the ties of language and religion. Cymric was

their mother tongue and each practised the Druidic religion.

Britain was the central headquarters of Druidism, to which all

paid tithe. It was by far the most populous and by its commerce

and industry was world renowned. What London is to Great Britain

today, Ottawa to Canada, and Washington to the United States, so

was Britain to the whole Keltic race. Largely, this was the reason 

for other nations identifying the British name with England. 

     From the religious point of view, out of which the British name 

arose, this island was entitled by priority to the title. England was 

the first of the British Isles to be inhabited. Before the Kelts arrived 

it was a virgin land devoid of human habitation. It is claimed that t

he first settlers arrived c. 3000 B.C. Druidism was nationally 

organized under the capable leadership of Hu Gadarn, circa 

1800 B.C., the period given for the erection of Stonehenge,  which 

is also ascribed to Hu Gadarn. He was contemporaneous with 

Abraham. Like Abraham, Hu Gadarn was the chief patriach 

of the people, known as Hu the Mighty.

(I've stated that Britain was first inhabited or settled by

Brutus from Troy and his people [being from the tribe of Judah],

but yes the author is probably correct that Druidism and

Stonehenge goes back to a time before Brutus. But I think it is

correct to say that Brutus and his people gave Britain a

settlement that was different from that of the Druids, though

eventually both would be as one by the first century A.D. - 

Keith Hunt)

     Looking backward over the many centuries we see the deep

significance for this Isle being named Britain and its people

British. We see destiny motivating these people in their course;

a greater will than their own subconsciously directing them to a

predestined land where, as Jeremiah had prophesied, they would

'plant the seed'. The climax was reached with the arrival of

Joseph of Arimathea and the Bethany group. From then on the

meaning of the word Motherland became apparent. England is the

only country in history to be naturally known as the Motherland.

     The long centuries had prepared it for its Christian destiny. 

From its womb the Christian cause was born, cradled, and

carried to the world.

BUILDING ALTARS

     We know that the Kelts were by commandment and custom not

given to committing anything religious to writing. Neither were

they permitted to build altars with the use of metal, or nails.

They were the true people of the Biblical 'Stone Kingdom'.

     A traditional custom that indelibly bound the Kelts with the

old patriarchal faith was the building of altars wherever they

rested on their trek to the Isles, a religious custom as marked

as the carrying of the Ark of the Covenant before them. Today

their passage across the world into the Isles can be clearly

traced by the relics of the altars they raised in stone, enduring

memorials to their great pilgrimage.

     This custom outlasted the ritual of the Ark, which was

abandoned with the acceptance of Jesus Christ. It lingers today

and, as then, only among the Keltic-Saxon people. In our times

the custom of erecting these memorials to some great historic

event is chiefly practised by the Scottish and the Canadians.

They comprise pyramids of stones piled to a peak and are known 

as cairns. This is the Keltic name for the word used in the Bible,

'heaps', 'stones of witness'.

     The first stone altar in the Biblical record was erected by

Jacob, after his significant dream of the ascending ladder

between heaven and earth, known to all Christians as Jacob's

Ladder. He built it as a witness to his contact and covenant with

God on that occasion. Ever after the erection of such altars, or

cairns, became a religious custom of the wandering Hebrews and

Keltoi, as they passed through strange lands; a declaration and a

witness to their belief and faith in the covenant with the One

and Only Invisible God.

BACK TO NAMES

     Despite the evolution of names that identified the people

finally named British, the names have always been synonymous with

their heritage and religion. The name Kymri originated from King

Omri, founder of Samaria, the capital of Israel. The Assyrians

called their Israelite captives Beth-Omri, Beth Kymri and People

of the Ghomri, after their king. The Greeks called them

Kimmerioi. The Welsh are the only people today retaining the

ancient title as the people of the Cymri.

     In the British Museum can be seen the famous Black Obelisk

of Shalmaneser II. This important relic bears reference to the

captivity, and to all kings subject to the King of Assyria.

Amongst these rulers so subject was Jehu, called the 'son of

Omri', king of Israel. The obelisk is a series of twenty small

reliefs with long inscriptions. The second relief depicts 'the

son of Omri' on his knees, paying tribute in gold and silver in

obeisance to the Assyrian ruler.

     In Keltic the word Kymrii is still pronounced with the vowel

sound, K'Omri, and easily became Kymri, from which Kimmerii,

Kimmerians, Keltoi, Keltic and Cymri have evolved. Crimea, by

which that land is still known, is a corruption of Cimmeri. Vast

cemeteries have been disclosed in the Crimea in recent years

producing numerous monuments identifying the Kymry in name,

religion, and character with that area where they remained

centuries before marching on. 

THE WELSH

    It is interesting to know that the Welsh are the only members of

the Keltic race that retained throughout time to the present the

original name Kymri. Today it is usually spelt Cymri, and their

ancient language Cymric. The Welsh have perpetuated their ancient

racial characteristics more than any member of the great Celtic-Saxon-

Scandinavian race. The people of ancient England later became more 

Saxon in type. This could be due to the vast influx of Engles, Frisians, 

Jutes and Saxons that settled in the land following their invasion. 

Of these the Engles or Angles and Saxons were by far the most 

numerous. However, each acted according to their native disposition. 

All of them originated from the northern kingdom of Samaria, where 

they were first led by Ephraim.

     It should be remembered that the Ephraimites were the legal

inheritors of the title Israel and not Judah, or the Jews. In the

Bible the southern kingdom at Jerusalem and the northern kingdom

of Samaria are always addressed separately under different names,

Judah and Israel. Even God in His instructions refers to them as

such: 'Judah and His sanctuary and Israel His dominion' (Psa.

114:2). Consequently, as to be expected, the Ephraimites

continued to govern according to the patriarchal law. Originally,

Judah was part of the priestly sect, with the Levites, the latter

being the true dispensers of religious jurisdiction who were

divided between Judah and Israel, in service. Among the Kelts 

are the descendants of the priestly group that served Ephraim, 

or Israel, which is manifested throughout the ages by their deep

religious disposition. They also represented the professional

class - scientists, doctors, lawyers, etc. - which we find so

vigorously demonstrated in ancient Britain, in religion, industry

and commerce. The Ephraimites were the true warrior tribe of

Israel, the Defenders of the Faith, as they are today. 

     The Levites were not permitted to bear arms or serve in war; 

neither were the Druids. Nevertheless, the Keltoi were famed as 

valiant warriors. This was because there were enough of the warrior

Ephraimite clan among them to protect the Priesthood and

associates in the professions. It has been stated that the major

warrior legions of the Ephraimites were the last to leave

Samaria, protecting the westward trek of their brethren. This

could be true. History shows that even though the Kymri were

engaged in conflict during their passage they did not experience

one fraction of the combat as fought by the Ephraimites.

     The question arises, How do we connect the Saxons with the

Ephraimites and as brethren of the Kelts?

     It is aptly said that the Bible is the truest history book ever written, 

to which the writer subscribes. Within Scripture we find the clues 

which modern scientists, particularly the detectives of science, 

the archaeologists, have proved to be real.

     When Isaac was born, God made a strange statement to Abram.

He said: 'In all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her

voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called' (Gen. 21:12).

     Nowhere in the Biblical record are God's people so known.

Theologians either evaded the explanation, or were blind to the

meaning and to other statements later given by the prophets and

by our Lord on the matter. Isaiah and Jeremiah not only strongly

emphasized the fact but gave positive clues to their identity.

Jesus said He had come to 'the lost sheep' - Ephraim. He told the

Jews their inheritance was to be taken away from them and given

to another. Jesus could only give such an inheritance to God's

own people, since from the beginning they were bound within the

Covenant Law to carry out God's purpose on earth through the

Christ. His strongest commission He gave to St. Paul, to go to

the Gentiles who would receive Him. While St. Paul went to the

Gentiles, more directly and positively he went to the people of

Britain and ordained the first Christian Bishop in Britain, in

the name of Jesus.

     Jesus had said that the old law was finished in His sacrifice. 

He came to fulfil the Law - the Covenant between God and man. 

Until the British Druidic church and its peoples were consecrated 

in 'The Way', they were as Gentiles. But of all the peoples of the 

earth the only existing faith that was prepared beforehand to 

accept Christ, and the only people to know His name, and to speak 

it before Christ was born, were the British Druids.

     Christ knew to whom He was addressing Himself. St. Paul knew

to whom he was specifically directed, as we shall show by historic 

fact. Joseph of Arimathea, from longer and closer association with 

Jesus, knew, and to these people both these great Apostles went.

THE NAME "SAXON"

     The Christian elect were to be known in the name of Isaac.

Are they so known? Most certainly they are, and the name is

Saxon.

     Equally as the excavated monuments and artifacts from the

Royal Cemeteries of the Crimea have positively identified the

Kymri by actual name, so have the ancient historians documented

the evolution of the Saxon name from Isaac in their records.

     Let us check farther back in history. These important facts

are necessary to prove God's course and purpose, as later

demonstrated by Joseph of Arimathea and St. Paul.

     The name "Semite" is derived from Shem, who was the son of

Noah, and of whom it is said in Genesis 9:26, 'Blessed be the

Lord God of Shem.' From Shem is descended the special seed

elected to be the chosen race. Until the exodus of Abraham from

Chaldea the Covenant People were known as Shemites. Under Abraham

they became known as Hebrews. This term derives from Eber, who

was a descendant of Shem. The word Hebrew does not specifically

designate a race. It means 'colonist or colonizer', applied in the same 

manner as it was once associated with the Americans and Canadians. 

Like the Americans and Canadians, the people were spoken of as 

colonists until they were nationalized.

     Nationalization of the Covenant People was acquired under

the dying Jacob, grandson of Abraham, and the son of Isaac. Then

they became a nation formed of twelve tribes to be so known by

the Will of God as Israel, meaning 'Ruling with God'. Later, when

the tribes revolted under Ephraim, the son of Joseph, they became

divided into two kingdoms, that of the north and of the south,

being known as Judah and Israel. Both went into captivity. 

A fragment of Judah returned to Jerusalem but Israel, as

Ephraimites, never returned or were ever again mentioned in

scriptural history. During this long existence from Shem to the

vanishing Ephraimites the name Jew never occurred in history and

was unknown to the Shemites, Hebrews, Israelites or Ephraimites.

Nevertheless it is true that some of the Jews who later sprang

from the remnant of Judah that returned to the Holy City after

the Babylonian captivity are Shemites, or Semites, as we now use

the name, and they were part of Israel, but only a fragment. In

fact they had become so mixed from inter-marriage with other

peoples during their captivity, it is doubtful how clear their native 

claim to Israel could be. However, they are recognized as part of 

Israel, but only in the same manner as we would say all

Pennsylvanians are Americans and all Ontarions are Canadians, but

all Americans and Canadians are not Pennsylvanians or Ontarions.

Consequently it is a serious misnomer to consider the Jews of

today as the only surviving Semites or Israelites. The major

portion of both Judah and Ephraim had long passed out of their

original homeland to be known by other names, some of which 

have already been explained.

GOD'S PROMISE TO SARAH

     Now we come to the mysterious promise of God to Sarah, 'n

Isaac shall thy seed be called' (Gen. 21: 2). The prophets had

said they would dwell afar off and be known by another name, 

one representing their racial heritage. On being questioned by 

the people through whose lands they passed, the Israelites

(Ephraimites, and the many of Judah who had joined up with 

them in their march) explained that they were the Sons of Isaac.

     The ethnological chart shows that they divided into two

groups, each taking a different route that was ultimately to lead

them into the Isles of the West - Britain. The Kymri we have

already established but the warrior Ephraimites became more

markedly referred to as Sons of Isaac. In writing this name it

took on different variations according to language but the

pronunciation was the same, leaving no doubt as to their

identity. Ancient documents and monuments refer to them as

I-Saccasuns, I-Sak-suna, Sakasuna, Saksens and finally Saxons. It

is true, historically, they are also known collectively as Scythians, 

but it must be remembered it was not the name by which the 

amalgamated tribes called themselves but the name applied to

them by the Greeks. For about seven hundred years they lived in

the districts known to the Greeks as Scythia, to the Romans as

Dacia (now Roumania), and Thrace. Just as the Kymri of Britain

assumed the name British, so did the old Ephraimite Israelites

elect to be known as Saxons, the name which both concealed and

revealed the name of Isaac.

     The Anglo-Saxons were the chief and most powerful among the

associated tribes, hence the accepted leaders. As Saxons, on the

invitation of the British chieftain Vortigern, they first entered

Britain.

     After the Saxon settlement in Britain, observers of other nations 

would have noticed what they might have termed a strange breach 

of Saxon policy. They began to intermarry with the British Kelts.

     Whether or not the fair, blue-eyed Saxons and the darker

Kelts realized their racial affinity, mutually they blended

together.

     In all their migratory wanderings the Keltic and Saxon

peoples steadfastly refused to intermix, or intermarry with the

people of other races. To do so was a serious tribal offence

recognized by both. In this they were more loyal to the

patriarchal law than were their brethren of Judah during their

Babylonian captivity. As prophesied, for this overt act this

section of Judah was to be branded by 'the shew of their

countenance'. This is markedly shown, even today, in their

descendants by the Hittite cast of black hair and the hooked

nose.

     Not only did they refuse to intermix. They were true to the

ancient command to 'dwell together'. History informs us whenever

they began their next migratory step they left few behind,

emptying the land. Contrary to the custom of other people who

either left behind the aged, the too young and the infirm, or

slew them, the Kymri and the Saxon tribes took all with them.

     This was more particularly related of the Anglo-Saxons,

whose migrations were more numerous and longer spaced in 

reaching the eventual 'Homeland'. This fact is historically stated 

in the mass migration of the Saxon peoples into Britain. Dr. Latham

writes in his "Ethnology of the British Islands" - "Throughout

the whole length and breadth of Germany there is not one village,

hamlet or family which can show definite signs of descent from

the Continental ancestors of the Anglo-Saxons of England."

     Professor Sayce writes: "All the branches that flowed into

Britain are branches of the self-same stock. Not a single pure

Saxon is to be found in any village, town or city of Germany. 

We once came there, but came out again in our wanderings to

these British Islands."

     That they all were kinsmen, Briton-Kelt, Gaels, Angl-Saxons,

Jutes, Frisians, Danes and Normans is emphasized by Freeman in

"The Norman Conquest": "It is difficult to realize the fact that

our nation which now exists is not really a mixed race in the sense 

which popular language implies."

     Professor Huxley, writing of the political tumult in Ireland

in 1870, when agitators tried to make racial difference an issue,

wrote: "If what I have to say in a matter of science weighs with

any man who has political power, I ask him to believe that the

arguments about the difference between the Anglo-Saxons and 

the Celts are a mere sham and delusion."

     In referring to the characteristic of the Kelt, like the Saxon, 

to 'dwell alone', he states that during the Roman occupation of 

Britain, Roman and Kelt led a separate life from each other. 

And when the Romans withdrew permanently from Britain

A.D. 410, the population was as substantially Celtic as they had

found it.

(And indeed this is where many historians have missed the boat

about Britain and the Roman Empire. Britain was never really

conquered, it was occupied by the Romans. And the Scots never

even let the Romans occupy Scotland. The Scots were more than a

match in war against Rome, as the Roman historian Tacitus relates

in his history. They were so strong in fighting that it was

Adrian who built a wall across north England to keep the Scots

from coming down and pushing the Romans off the land we call

England today. If not for that famous Adrian's Wall the Scots

would have pushed the Romans back to Europe. So indeed when 

Rome did leave the British Isles in 410 A.D. the land was still very

much Celtic in nature and custom, and had a more pure Christian

religion than Rome. When the Roman Church arrived in Britain

about 600 A.D. she proclaimed the Celtic church to be heretics

and "Jewish" in practice and beliefs - Keith Hunt)

     In the name of Isaac the promised Seed of God was to be

found. As I-Sax-Sons, they became Israelites, to be lost,

punished for their sin in worshipping the golden calf, scattered

throughout the nations, but 'like corn winnowed in a sieve' would

finally be gathered together into a place appointed by God

Himself (2 Sam.7:10) where they would settle and move no more,

and where no weapon formed against them should prosper (Isa.

54:17).

     The validity of these facts cannot be overlooked, nor the

other ancient custom among them of keeping the Sabbath.

     In Exodus 31 we read to whom the command to observe the

Sabbath was given: "Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep

the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations,

for a perpetual covenant" (v.16). "It is a sign between Me and

the children of Israel for ever" (v.17).

     The Anglo-Saxon race were and are the only people to observe

this sign. In the past, when foreigners were questioned as to what 

impressed them most about English and American customs they

replied, "Your English Sunday." While all places were wide open

in foreign lands, in Britain and America the Sabbath was observed. 

Even at the great Paris Exhibition only the British and United States 

sections were closed on Sunday.

     Voltaire, the extraordinary intellectual infidel, said:

"Whether Englishmen know it or not, it is the English Sunday

which makes England what England is."

     This is equally true of America, and the British Commonwealth 

of nations.

     Dr. Ryle, Bishop of Liverpool, said: "I assert without

hesitation that the only countries on the face of the globe in

which you will find true observance of the Sabbath are Great

Britain, the Commonwealth nations and America. No other nations

can possibly be said to fulfil this sign."

(The author has to a point missed the boat here. Sure it was true

that the Anglo-Saxon people have observed Sunday as a holy day,

as the Sabbath day for hundreds of years. But the truth of the

matter is that they moved AWAY from observing the 7th day to the

1st day AFTER the Roman Catholic church entered Britain about 600

A.D. And 7th day Sabbath keeping was still being observed by some

Welsh people into the 11th century A.D. Original first century

Christianity coming to Britain shortly after the resurrection of

our Lord, brought with it the observance of the 7th day of the

week as the 4th of the Ten Commandments clearly teaches. Sunday

observing was a false teaching FROM the Roman Catholic church,

but yes it was true that for hundreds of years the Anglo-Saxon people 

above anyone else on earth faithfully observed Sunday as the Sabbath - 

Keith Hunt)

     However, the warning is sounded in the announcement that

when we begin to forsake the Lord's Day, which all Anglo-Saxon

people have been doing in various degrees over the years, our

prosperity will depart from us.

     A few years ago a foreigner visiting England made the remark

in the Press: "You have in England something which we have always

longed to have, and never could attain - Sunday - and you are losing 

it almost without a protest."

     America has always been the greatest desecrator of the

Sabbath, more so than the other Anglo-Saxon nations. We all

should heed the warning.

(Today the English speaking world has totally moved away from

even Sunday observance. And most of Protestant Christianity has

"done away with" the 4th commandment. That commandment is looked

upon not only as the "least" commandment but as "not for today" -

it has been done away with in most theology circles today - Keith

Hunt)

 

     England derived its name from the Engles (Angles). The

meaning of the name is again significant. Engles means 'God-Men'.

This name was not conferred upon them because of any special

righteousness but because instead of worshipping idols of stone,

as others did, they worshipped God. The idolaters called them

'GodMen' - Engles (Angles).

     The story is told that one day, when Pope Gregory was

walking along the streets of Rome, he encountered a group of

Roman soldiers with several British (Yorkshire) captive children.

He paused in wonderment, enamoured by their unusual countenance:

golden hair, blue eyes and fair skin, something he had never seen

before. He asked the soldiers who they were. On being told they

were Engles, from Engle-land, he remarked on their beauty,

replying, "They are well named. They look like angels." From this

encounter it is claimed Pope Gregory became persuaded of himself

to send Augustine to Britain on his mission.

(Ya and the Roman church came and declared the Celtic church 

to be heretics and following Jewish practices - Keith Hunt)

     The religious habits, customs and characteristics that so

definitely marked the Kymri and the Saxons from the rest of the

peoples of the earth cannot be charged to mere coincidence with

the ancient patriarchal law. They are too deeply significant.

     Regardless of how the Keltic-Saxon people may have deviated

from full adherence to the Law, in their wanderings, the

Covenants were the core of their spiritual life, directing their

material policies. The Covenant-meaning-name, British, would

never have been conferred upon them by other peoples if they had

not been more than duly impressed by their religious observances.

     As one studies the Druidic Triads, a greater association

with the Covenant Law is shown with startling clarity.

     Considering these Hebraic religious customs and the

acquisition of interpretative names, one can readily realize how

simply and effectively the wedding between the old Druidic

religion and the new Covenant of 'The Way' took place, providing

a fertile field and a safe sanctuary for Joseph of Arimathea and

his companions.

     This was not an accident. It was the beginning of the new

destiny long before prophesied, which was brought to birth in the

great sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Saviour.

     There are still people who insist that the British story is

a superstitious myth without foundation, just as they continue to

debate that the Bible is untrue. They are as mentally fogbound as

the Victorian historians who could not understand how, why or

where there could be any connection between the ancient British

and the continental races, and less with the prophecies and

people of the Bible. Unfortunately at that time the historic past

was not so well revealed to them as archaeology has disclosed it

in modern times.

     Even as the amazing discoveries in the caves of the Dead

Sea, during the years 1955-56, have brought to the light of day

thousands of stored documents secreted therein by the Essenes,

substantiating the books of the Bible in every instance, equally

so, during the last twenty-five years, archaeologists have

supplied the modern ethnologist and historian with indisputable

evidence to vindicate the historic age-old story of the people of

Britain.

     The Essenes were the most cultured and learned religious

order existing before the birth of Christ, free of the

contamination of power politics, or orthodox religion. They were

the greatest truth seekers of their time. Most of the discovered

documents were written before Christ and much after His advent.

Every day translators are disclosing material that has long

puzzled theologians concerning both the Old and New Testaments.

Much of this testimony proves the historic validity of the facts

given herein. Archaeologists unearthing monuments, tablets, coins

and various other artifacts name and trace the Covenant Peoples

of our story from their ancient birthplace to the Isles of the

West and the British and Americans to their place in modern

history.

(And a lot of that truth of archeology and history is found on

my website - Keith Hunt)

     Crushed beyond revival are the diatribes of the atheists and

the mocking voices of the Higher Critics of Germany. Authority

has been stripped from the irresponsible historians.

     It is not so well known that H. G. Wells' "Outline of History," 

that sold by the million copies, was most severely criticized by 

an angry group of scientists and scholars who dubbed Wells' work 

as 'a gross mass of mediaeval historic error'. Wells was obliged to 

abridge the next edition. Although he corrected a number of his 

flagrant errors he was unable to make a complete correction 

without rewriting the whole work, which he did not do.

     The devil is ever alert to use the infidel mind to divert all 

whom he can from the truth.

     In the end truth always wins.

     There is ever a fascination to be found in fails to intrigue

the mind, creating a curious desire to learn what it may mean and

how it was derived. In names, as shown herein, invariably is

found the key that unlocks the door to an age-old mystery. No

names can equal the drama of Kymri, Saxon and British, and of

them all the name British is the most enthralling name in all

history.

BEING  USED  IN  A  SPECIAL  WAY,  THAT  THE  ETERNAL  HAD  

PROMISED  SO  LONG  AGO  TO  ABRAHAM, ISSAC, JACOB,  AND  JOSEPH?

IT  CANNOT  BE  THAT  THE  ENGLISH  SPEAKING  PEOPLE  HAVE

WITHOUT  THEM  INHERITING  THE  VERY  PROMISES  GIVEN  TO
