Claims of Israelite Ancestry

Several different religious groups around the world have been disseminating literature, claiming that the Scythians were the descendants of the Israelites who first crossed the Red Sea, then the Jordan river, and are still alive in the world today. Among the different groups, four stand out as having amassed a surprisingly detailed body of knowledge connecting the ancient Israelites to the Scythians: http://www.thetrumpet.com; http://www.shepherdschapel.com; http://www.tomorrowsworld.org; and http://www.britam.org.

These four groups and others make use of cultural anthropology to demonstrate that the Scythians were the descendants of the Israelites, and then became Anglo-Saxons. Among other things, they cite similarities in language, customs, clothing, dietary habits, civil and criminal law, music, architecture, oral history, myths, legends, and folklore as evidence that the Scythians were the descendants of Israelites.

Modern sources rely heavily on the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath (above); which clearly connects the people of Scotland to the Scythians. The great body of work left by British historian Sharon Turner (1768-1847, also above) is also a powerful tool for uncovering the many links between the Scythians, their Israelite ancestors, and their alleged descendants: The Anglo-Saxons. Turner's work primarily dealt with the ancestry, bloodlines, and migrations of modern people living in Western Europe--and the spiritual underpinnings of those bloodlines. Turner was a professional historian, who documented everything he wrote. The sources he relied upon can still be found today in the world's great libraries.

All of the groups that believe that the Scythians were the descendants of the Israelites agree that the history of the Scythians began when the ten northern tribes of Israel were conquered by the Assyrians and driven out of their land. The story of their conquest is told in the Old Testament Book of Jeremiah. After the Assyrians completed their conquest, they forcibly marched the remnants of the ten northern tribes to an area just north of Lake Van in what is now modern Turkey, and told them that they may never return to their original homeland, under pain of death. From there, they soon migrated north over the Caucasus mountains, settling on the other side. Over time they gradually lost their Israelite identity, forgot who whey were, and became known in the ancient world as "Scythians." In the ensuing centuries, numerous migrations occurred. The majority migrated into Western Europe west of the Rhine river, and from there, to modern America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. A few went into Scandinavia, and became kings and tribal chieftains there. Others went into India, where they became the Brahman caste. In Germany they became the Junkers family.

All sources, both old and new, agree that the term "Caucasian" refers to the Caucasus mountain range that the Israelites first crossed after they left the area north of Lake Van; that "asian" refers to the general direction from which they came; that the term "Saxon" means "Isaac's Son;" that the word Briton is derived from the word "Brit," which means covenant, and from there: "people of the covenant;" that the Scottish bagpipe is the same as the dulcimer of Daniel 3:5; and that the stone that Jacob used as a pillow has never been thrown away, but can be found today under the British throne where it has been for centuries.
