Home > British Israelism

1 Versions

There are a number of versions of British-Israelism which differ on key points:

• Joseph of Arimathea is believed to have travelled to Cornwall sometime after Christ's crucifixion and to have established an early Christian community.
• Legends of the coming of Brutus (Britis) to England after the burning of Troy is another essential element in most variants of the British Israel theory.

2 Development

References in various ancient manuscripts have provided clues to modern day British Israelists, but the first known book detailing the theory was Richard Brothers' A Revealed Knowledge of the Prophecies and Times , published in the 1790s. Believers cite Rev John Wilson's Our Israelitish Origins ( 1840) as a founding text.

The word derives from Greeks of the nations that Darius the Great had subdued was the king of the 'Saka', or the Scythians. The Behistun rock was a type of Rosetta stone written in three languageAs with any complex, emergent concept, language is somewhat resistant to definition; however, most would agree that language is a system of communication or reasoning using representation along with metaphor and some manner of logical grammar. Many languas. In the Babylonian, the Saka were called the Gimirri; in the Assyrian language they were referred to as the Khumri or Bit-Khumri, or Cimmerians by the Greeks and Romans.

In other Babylonian and Assyrian monuments and tablets the conquests of the Khumri and their eventual captivity were chronicled. The Khumri were also called the Bit-omri or the House of Omri, one of the kings of the northern tribes of the kingdom of Israel.

Some researchers have argued that both Celts and the Germans came from an area south-east of the Black Sea, and migrated westward to the coast of Europe. The names Iberia for Spain, and Hibernia for Ireland are sometimes interpreted as evidence that the Habiru ( Hebrews) traveled to and settled those areas.

According to the hypothesis, the Saka-Scythians migrated west starting with the reign of the Persian King Cyrus, when they declined to help him in his conquest of the Babylonian empire. Herodotus says they were called "Germanii" at that point in time. The Greeks called the Scythians Sakae and Scyths. When the Saxons invaded England in 400 AD, their chroniclers said they "sent back to Scythia for reinforcements." The implication is that the Saxons considered themselves to be Scythians, the name having travelled with them even though they were far away from the region the Greeks had labelled "Scythia". The English are known to be descended from the Anglo-Saxons. Hence the connection with the tribes of Israel.

The burial customs of the Scythians and Vikings also show similarities, for which some have argued a common origin in support of British-Israelsim.
