Part II: BRITISH-ISRAEL
THE JUDAIZERS

http://watch.pair.com/brit-israel.html


There have been approximately thirty recognized splinter organizations
resulting from Worldwide Church of God - Organizational Splits, although
other sources estimate that hundreds of groups have formed from the WCG. It
is a common practice of conspiratorial organizations to subdivide and create
new fronts with diverse names in order to diffuse public perception of the
greater conspiracy which is still intact. This plan goes into action
especially when the mother organization is exposed or discredited.

Today, numerous Sabbatarian, Restoration, British-Israel, Messianic and
Sacred Name organizations, which have been spawned by the WCG, are carrying
on the work of the late Herbert W. Armstrong, indoctrinating new disciples
in his British-Israel teachings and worldview. In June 1998, an Israel
Identity Conference held in the United States and Australia was promoted and
attended by numerous Church of God affiliates and Sabbatarian organizations.
These included the Worldwide Church of God, United Church of God,
British-Israel World Federation, Global Church of God, Christian Educational
Services, Servant's News magazine, Faith in Australia magazine, The Journal
newspaper, The Independent Church of God, Perspectives magazine, Alert
newsletter, Sabbath History newsletter, The Shofar newsletter, Origins of
Nations magazine/History Research Projects. [Craig White, News of the Israel
Identity Conference with Dr Rick Sherrod, The Journal, 8-24-98]

According to Personal Freedom Outreach, Christian Education Services is a
splinter group of The Way International cult founded in 1985 by Victor Paul
Wierwille who denied the Trinity and divinity of Jesus Christ, used only the
Aramaic version of the Bible, rejected Sunday worship, denied the Holocaust
and, during the late 1960s and 70s, recruited large numbers of young people
from the Jesus Movement.

As well, the Israel Identity Conference was promoted by James Trimm of the
Society for the Advancement of Nazarene Judaism, which connects through the
Messianic Friends Network with numerous Messianic organizations such as Jews
for Jesus and Messengers of Messiah. Mention was made in a SANJ message
dated 8/17/98 that an international conference is being planned in Jerusalem
for several reasons, one being that "Jerusalem is destined to be the capital
city of United Israel including both Judah and the Lost Ten Tribes." Another
attraction in Jerusalem is the presence of rabbis such as Yair Davidy of
Brit-Am Israel. The goal is recognition that the "Jews of Judah" and the
Lost Tribes are brothers, to the end they will be reconciled and reunited.
SANJ also hosts the Lost Tribes Forum -- "one of several Rabbinic
organizations (including Yair Davidy of Brit-Am) which teach that the Lost
Tribes migrated to Europe." (8/28/98) Yair Davidy, who denies the divinity
of Jesus Christ, also teaches that present day Jews are from the Tribes of
Judah and Benjamin and the tribe of Joseph is divided into Ephraim which is
Great Britain, and Mannaseh, the United States.

Herbert Armstrong's global agenda is also being fulfilled through
organizations like Sir Anthony Buzzard's Restoration Fellowship and the
greater Church of God General Council whose publication, The Journal,
promotes the Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association and the Worldwide
Church of God. The Journal also lists the Olive-Hebrew Roots CDRom
Encyclopaedia promoted by HRM organizations and published by the Saltshakers
Ltd in London. The Olive-Hebrew Roots CD-Rom carries articles written by
Andrew Gould, Jacob Prasch, and admitted kabbalist, Avi ben Mordecai, among
other Messianic teachers.

On his Restoration Fellowship web page, Sir Anthony Buzzard explains the
Hebrew Roots Concept of Christianity. One issue of the COG Journal announced
a Hebrew Roots conference to be held at the Atlanta Bible College where Sir
Anthony serves on staff:

"The conferees will study the 'Hebrew roots of our faith' [and] our biblical
unitarian heritage as expounded by such distinguished persons as Sir Isaac
Newton and John Milton." [both famous English Rosicrucians-BA]

A pastor of a major Hebrew Roots organization, Messengers of Messiah, Peter
Michas subscribes to the doctrines of the Jerusalem School of Synoptic
Research, a non-Christian Jesus Seminar-type think tank which denies the
inspiration of the Greek New Testament. The JSSR is a "consortium of Jewish
and Christian scholars" who, like the Unitarian Anthony Buzzard, deny the
deity of Jesus Christ, identifying Him as being merely "like other Jewish
sages of that time."

Having rejected the Greek New Testament, Peter Michas substitutes rabbinic
literature (the Babylonian Talmud, Mishnah, Midrash) and other Judaic
writings as the interpreter of New Testament doctrine. Notwithstanding this
departure from Scripture, The Christian Conscience maintains a link
promoting Messengers of Messiah. Also, published in their Jan/Feb '98 issue
was a favorable review by Lynn Leslie of Peter Michas' book, The Rod of an
Almond Tree in God's Master Plan, which undermines the doctrines of the
Substitutionary Atonement and the Trinity.

Watch Unto Prayer has posted our own research of Peter Michas' book, which
consists of excerpts from The Rod of an Almond Tree categorized by doctrine,
along with statements from heretical and occult sources which present
identical doctrines. As I read this book and other writings of Peter Michas,
I wondered at the strange assortment of doctrines expounded as "new
revelations" that the reader is informed have been lost upon the Church for
centuries due to religious tradition. It was upon reading Joseph Hopkins'
critique, The Armstrong Empire, that I would recognize the Hebrew Roots'
doctrines as nearly identical to Herbert Armstrong's teachings some 50 years
previous:

"Among these were denial of the Trinity and the personality of the Holy
Spirit, insistence on the seventh-day Sabbath and compliance with Jewish
feasts and dietary laws, denunciation of Christmas and Easter as pagan
holidays, and the belief that the "lost ten tribes" of Israel have survived
to the present day, and that the Anglo-Saxon people of England and America
are the lineal descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh. (The Armstrong Empire,
p.18)

"Armstrong...purports to declare "the astounding, but little known facts"
concerning "the True New Testament Church of Jesus Christ"...through
subsequent centuries to the present day. With the congregation at Pella as
headquarters and those at Antioch and Ephesus as secondary centers, the
authentic Christian witness was preserved. "Rome," it is emphasized, "was
never the parent or Headquarters church... What was the "Synagogue of
Satan?" The Armstrong history identifies it as "the great apostate church"
of Rome -- adding that Rome's "many Protestant daughters...are also Satan's
churches. All the revered giants of Christendom -- Augustine, Luther,
Calvin, Wesley, Jonathan Edwards -- were, he would have us assume, either
frauds or fools." (The Armstrong Empire, pp. 56, 57, 100)

"Armstrong argues at great length that Jesus was crucified on Wednesday and
resurrected on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, largely in order to do away
with the basic assumption behind Sunday observance -- that Jesus arose on
the first day of the week. His objections to the Good Friday and Easter
observances, almost universal throughout Christendom, provide added
incentive to the effort to establish a different Holy Week calendar... A
more sophisticated and complex version of this argument is developed by [WCG
Ambassador College Dean] Herman Hoeh in a 47-page booklet published in 1959.
Again the reasoning rests on interpretations that have been discredited by
reputable scholars. During the week of the crucifixion, says Hoeh, there are
two Sabbaths, one of which came on Thursday, the day after the
crucifixion...Hoeh takes this as...proof of the Wednesday crucifixion." (The
Armstrong Empire, pp.110-11)

Peter Michas postulates a "three Sabbaths" theory in his attempt to
establish the fact that Jesus was crucified on Wednesday and arose on
Saturday - a new revelation that is calculated to invalidate Western
Christendom which assembles for worship on Sunday. Sabbatarian cults have
missed the fact that the New Testament does not enjoin Christians to keep
the Sabbath. Rather, they meet to worship on the Lord's Day, a different day
of the week with a different observance altogether.

The problems regarding the Sabbath began when the Roman Catholic Church
called Sunday the Sabbath. It is not the Sabbath -- it is the Lord's Day.
Sabbatarian groups use this misnomer to call attention to the fact that
Saturday is the true Sabbath -- which it is. However, they miss the point of
the New Covenant that Christians are not bound to the Sabbath observance as
were the Old Testament Jews. Romans 14 deals with the issue of Christian
liberty, condemning neither those who observe, nor those who do not observe,
one day of the week above another. The Galatians, like the Judaized
Christians of today, were in bondage to observing days, desiring to be under
the law.

"But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn
ye again to the weak and beggarly elements whereunto ye desire again to be
in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid
of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain." Galatians 4:9-11

The Old Testament Sabbath prefigured the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is Himself
the believer's Sabbath (rest) every day of the week. The Judaizing heresy is
based on rejection of the finished work of Jesus Christ in general and,
specifically, the substitutionary aspect of Christ's atonement as symbolized
by the scapegoat in Leviticus 16:10 "But the goat upon which the lot fell,
to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive unto the Lord, to make an
atonement with him..." Herbert Armstrong would have his followers believe
that Satan is the atonement for sin. Peter Michas misses the point entirely.

Herbert Armstrong: "With the Seventh-Day Adventists, Herbert W. Armstrong
identifies Satan -- not Christ -- as the scapegoat upon whose head 'the
responsibility for sin will be placed.'" (Joseph Hopkins, The Armstrong
Empire, p.143)

[(Armstrong's] Bible Story Vol. III, p. 32, states that the Scapegoat, as
pictured in Leviticus 16th chapter, represented the Devil. However, Isaiah
53:10-12 and 1 Peter 2:24 state that the Son of God is the Sin-bearer or the
Scapegoat. [WCG VS. COG (7th day)]

Peter Michas: "The fate of the unrepentant man, represented by the
scapegoat, was to go to a place of desolation and separation from God." (Rod
of an Almond Tree, p. 241)

Having misinterpreted Leviticus 16, Peter Michas contradicts II Corinthians
5:21:

Peter Michas: "Yeshua did not literally become sin, but the totality of
humanity's sin (both past and future) was imputed to Him on the tree.
Because Yeshua was sinless and could not retain sin, the authors belief the
sin was sent back to Satan by means of the man who chose Satan as his
master." (Rod of an Almond Tree, p. 240)

II Corinthians 5:21: "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no
sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

Other doctrines held in common by Peter Michas and the late Herbert
Armstrong are the Oneness, Unitarian and British-Israel doctrines.

Herbert W. Armstrong taught: "...like the 'Oneness' people, that the Jehovah
or Yahvah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New. With several
exceptions, the YHVH of the Old Testament is the Father who created
everything through His Son, however." [WCG VS. COG (7th day)]

Peter Michas teaches: ""To understand the true relationship of God the
Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, it is essential to preserve
the concept of oneness . . . In the Old Testament Hebrew, the Tetragrammaton
(YHVH) is translated LORD and refers to Yeshua. Therefore, 'the Lord your
God' is a reference to 'YHVH/LORD your Elohim.' This shows that YHVH is a
oneness with the plurality of Elohim." (The Rod of an Almond Tree, p. 256,
259)

Like Unitarians Herbert Armstrong and Sir Anthony Buzzard, Peter Michas
denies the doctrine of the Trinity. Note the impersonal terms used by Peter
to describe the Holy Spirit as being other than a Person:

"The unity of Yeshua HaMashiach with God the Father and the Holy Spirit has
never been clearly understood from the doctrine of the Trinity..."

"To understand the true relationship of God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit, it is essential to preserve the concept of oneness..."

"The aspect of the Father may be simply understood as the Will of God. The
aspect of the Son may be understood as the Word of God. The aspect of the
Spirit of the Holy One may be understood as the Power of God..."

"To say God is three 'persons' opens the door to misunderstanding God. God
is Spirit and cannot be reduced to the concept of a person..."

"The Spirit of the Holy One is the very essence of the power of God the
Father and not some separate entity." (The Rod of an Almond Tree, pp.
255-57)



BRITISH-ISRAEL DOCTRINE



The main doctrine of the Worldwide Church of God, however, was the false
interpretation of Bible prophecy which maintains that the Anglo-Saxon races
are the lost tribes of Israel. A brief history of WCG and its doctrine of
British-Israelism may be found on the Religious Tolerance website:
Anglo-Israelism; British-Israelism; Worldwide Church of God.

Other purveyors of British-Israelism, such as the Rosicrucian Prieur� de
Sion, and its brotherhood of secret societies, have revealed a plan to place
one of their bloodline on the throne of the rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem.
This positioning of a false messiah, whom the world will worship as Christ,
has been carefully planned and executed over many centuries. The grand
scheme of the Rosicrucians will culminate, according to former Grand Master
Sir Isaac Newton, when the secret societies "bring Jesus down" to earth.

"9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not
for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto
the end of the war desolations are determined.

"...The last missing week: 62+7+1=70 starts in 1996 and runs for 7 years.
Half-way through - in 2000 we bring down Jesus causing the sacrifice to
cease:

"9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the
midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,
and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even
until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the
desolate."

Isaac Newton's interest in Hebraic studies is documented in The Rosicrucian
Enlightenment by historian Frances Yates, who confirms Sir Anthony Buzzard's
description of this most famous of the English Rosicrucians:

"Newton's historical attitudes, his intense preoccupation with apocalyptic
prophecy, would have made him intensely aware of the apocalyptic
interpretations of the near extinction of Protestantism in Europe ...The
approach to Newton through Rosicrucian alchemy might help, not only to unify
his physical and alchemical studies, but also to integrate with these the
Hebraic piety behind his historical studies." (p. 205)

The Merovingian legend misrepresents Jesus Christ as a member of the Essene
Community of Qumran (also called Nazarenes), whose messianic vision was to
unite Jew and Gentile in order to deliver the world from the power of the
evil Roman Empire. According to Merovingian lore, Jesus married Mary
Magdalene and fathered children. When Jesus failed in his mission, Mary and
Joseph of Arimethea fled from Israel to Europe. The royal bloodline of Jesus
Christ, claim the Rosicrucians, continued in Great Britain as the
Merovingian dynasty. Another version of the British-Israel doctrine
maintains that the ten northern tribes of Israel migrated from their
captivity in Assyria to the British Isles.

Hebrew Roots leader Michas plainly teaches the British-Israel doctrine of
Yair Davidy and Herbert Armstrong in Chapter 6 of his Study of Revelation:

A look at several verses in Genesis and other related passages, will give
further insight into the full meaning of verse 6. "Indeed I will greatly
bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens
and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the
gate of their enemies" (Genesis 22:17). The word translated "gate" means
strategic sea gates, the sea lanes of world trade. The countries that have
and do possess these lanes are the United States, Britain, Canada, and
Australia.

"And the L-rd was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in
the house of his master, the Egyptian" (Genesis 39:2). In Genesis 39:23, we
read that "The chief jailer did not supervise anything under Joseph's charge
because the L-rd was with him; and whatever he did, the L-rd made to
prosper." The covenant blessing was given to Joseph and then to Ephraim and
Manasseh (Genesis 48). This covenant blessing is also shown in Deuteronomy
33:13-17. In verse 17 of this passage, it speaks of an ox or wild ox. In
Hebrew, the word is unicorn. It also speaks of the first-born, but it is
actually talking about not just the first-born but includes the offspring of
the future. Those who would come from Joseph, Ephraim, and Manasseh would be
the head, not the tail, and would receive the choicest blessings under the
sun from the sea and the world. Where on the face of this earth has more
food produce, minerals, sea trade, and commerce? The free nations, the
Gospel- preaching nations. Do any other nations fit the picture of receiving
the blessings promised to Joseph, Ephraim, and Manasseh? China and the
nations of South America and Africa do not fit this picture. NO!

As we mentioned, the word in Deuteronomy 33:17 translated "ox" is actually
"unicorn." This is most important as the symbol of England is the unicorn.
Verse 17 continues with "With them he shall push the peoples." Who will? The
nations of the unicorn. Those are the ten thousands of Ephraim and the
thousands of Manasseh. There are hundreds of Biblical references which show
us the picture of these nations as the descendants of these three men.

There are stipulations to the blessing bestowed on these men and their seed.
Leviticus 26:1-18 deals with Israel before the dispersion. In verse 19, we
see the dispersion; this occurred around 700 B.C. when they were dispersed
into Assyria. After the time of the Greek and Roman Empires during the
middle ages, the entire Assyrian Empire moved to France, Germany, and
northern Spain. They were scattered and made a part of these nations. The
teachers and educated ones of ancient Babylon had been brought to Rome
during their occupation by the Greeks. This explains why it can be read G-d
calling certain places Assyria or Babylon in Revelation; He is referring to
the places where these peoples settled. When hearing "Assyria," we think of
where it used to be. G-d is referring to the places where these people are
today or will be at the end time referred to in Revelation.

According to Peter Michas, the Unicorn, alluded to in Deuteronomy 13:13-17
by the patriarch Jacob, symbolizes the Anglo-Saxon nations which would
descend from Joseph and become preachers of the Gospel:

"And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land... let the blessing
come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was
separated from his brethren. His glory is like the firstling of his bullock,
and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the
people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of
Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh."

If Peter Michas interpretation of Jacob's blessing sounds like Replacement
Theology -- it is. Remember the Duck Rule? "If it looks like a duck and
quacks like a duck, even if they call it by another name, it is still a
duck." Is it possible that Christians, believing they have escaped
Dominionist and Replacement Theology, are being recycled into these very
movements via the back door -- the Hebrew Roots Movement -- and that this
door is held wide open by the Discernment ministries? Those who dare to
critique the Hebrew Roots Movement are falsely accused of being
anti-Semites; however, is not British-Israelism the ultimate anti-Semitism?
British-Israelites, such as Gene Scott or Bible Restoration Ministries,
ascribe Celtic emblems to the tribes of Israel and would thereby deprive the
true descendants of Jacob -- the Jews -- of their God-given inheritance:

"Instead of trying to identify each tribe as a specific modern nation, we
note that ancient Israel traveled in four brigades of three tribes each (see
the on-line tract, "What Is The Gospel?" - listed under Bible Doctrines, and
also the reference given there to Alfred Edersheim's "History of the Old
Testament.") Each of these brigades had a dominant tribe; these were: Judah,
Ephraim, Reuben, and Dan. These four tribes provided four chief emblems:
Lion, Ox or Unicorn, Man, and Eagle or Serpent. To quote briefly from W.H.
Bennett, "Of the twenty-two tribal emblems of ancient Israel, at least
nineteen still are, or until very recently have been, emblems of one or
another section of the Celto-Saxon people. We also noted that, of the four
Brigade emblems, two, the lion and the Eagle, are the chief emblems of
Britain and the United States; that another, the Man, is a prominent feature
of the official Arms of Denmark, Iceland and Greece; and that the Ox is also
common to the heraldry of several sections of the Celto-Saxons. So all four
of Israel's Brigade emblems are in use among the Celto-Saxons today."
(Symbols Of Our Celto-Saxon Heritage, page 89)

According to Bloodline of the Holy Grail, the unicorn is a mythological
beast typifying the virile Christ. An entire chapter is devoted to "The
House of the Unicorns," which is purported to be the Sang Raal or sacred
bloodline of Jesus Christ, whose bride was claimed to be Mary Magdalene,
here referred to as the Sacred Prostitute.

"We have already seen that the 'Horn' of the Unicorn was equivalent to the
'Blade' in Grail lore, and both were represented by the male symbol L .
Along with the Davidic Lion of Judah and the Franco-Judaic fleur-de-lys, the
Desposynic Unicorn was incorporated in the Royal Arms of Scotland. The
Unicorn was considered to correspond to the virile Jesus, and was related to
the anointing (Messianic) imagery of Psalm (sacred song) 92:10. The mystic
beast was among the foremost symbols of the Albigensian Cathars, who were so
hideously persecuted by the Inquisition. In medieval legend the Unicorn was
always associated with fertility and healing, and Renaissance tapestries
portray his head in the lap of the Bride. This alludes to the ancient ritual
text for the Sacred Marriage (the Hieros Gamos), 'The king goes with lifted
head to the holy lap,' as originally expressed in the poetic rite of old
Sumerian Mesopotamia-the land of Noah and Abraham." (p. 315)

Predictably, we are given to understand that the House of the Unicorns are
the chosen people of God to overthrow the antichrist Roman Church which,
allied with the monarchies of Europe during the Middle Ages, dealt harshly
with the Merovingian lords. That their crimes were heresy, occult practices,
and subversion is not mentioned:

"The Cathars believed that only the Christine horn of the Unicorn could
purify the false doctrines that flowed from the Roman Church, and in this
regard the revered creature was often portrayed with his horn dipped into a
stream or fountain. Other depictions show the Unicorn trapped within an
enclosed garden - confined, but very much alive. The seven tapestry panels
of la Dame a la Licorne at the Cluny Museum in Paris were originally from
medieval Lyon. The seven Flemish Hunt of the Unicorn panels in the cloisters
of the Metropolitan Museum, New York, come from 16th-century Languedoc, and
show the Unicorn being chased and persecuted. When captured, he is
sacrificed, but is then seen alive and well in the garden of the Bride. This
is a direct replication of the story of Jesus.

"The mythological symbolism of the Unicorn was central to the so-called
heresies of Provence that were so brutally condemned by the Church. It was
by no chance that the fabulous beast of the Grail bloodline found in his
place as guardian of the Lion in the Arms of Scotland, along with the early
Christian sign of male and female unity (L +V=X) - the well- known Saltire,
popularly identified as the cross of St Andrew." (pp. 315-16)

King David himself made reference to the lions and the unicorns in Psalm 22.
This prophecy of Jesus Christ's most bitter and yet finest hour of shedding
His precious blood for sin, records His petition of the Father for
deliverance from their violence:

But you, O Lord, do not withdraw your help from me: look towards my defense.
Rescue my soul, O Lord, from the spear, my only soul from the hand of the
dog. Save me from the lion's mouth, and my lowliness from the unicorn's
horns. Psalm 22:19-21

The Pharisees who demanded the crucifixion of our Lord were the teachers
whose oral traditions made the Word of God of none effect. As the Lions and
Unicorns, these Kabbalists would have been the spiritual forefathers of the
Merovingians. Considering their ancient heritage, it is no surprise to find
favorable references to the Pharisees in Merovingian, Kabbalistic and Hebrew
Roots literature.



THE HOUSE OF THE UNICORNS



The Scottish Stewarts claim to be the sacred Merovingian dynasty, rightful
heirs of the thrones of Scotland, England and, therefore, of the lineage of
Jesus Christ. The Stewart genealogy, however, is currently contested by
other claimants to the dynastic line. The Forgotten Monarchy of Scotland
lists other "sacred families" which were related to Scotland's contender and
king, Robert the Bruce.

"...Robert the Bruce succeeded not only as King, but also as a hereditary
priest of the royal line. From the time of King Duncan I, son of Archpriest
Crinan MacDonachadh, the concept of the monarch's dual priest-kingly role
(both as sovereign and religious patriarch) had remained at the root of
Scottish culture... Conventional history ignores the fact that Bruce was not
only the Patriot King of his people, but was also Head of the Columban
Kindred of their ancient Church. This inheritance was passed down to his
Stewart grandson Robert II when he succeeded in 1371. At that time, others
belonging to the sacred family included the McNabs, Rosses, Sinclairs,
Robertsons, Dunbars, Dundasses, Wemysses, Abernethys, MacDuffs, Leslies, and
Mackenzies, along with the Chiefs of Clan Chattan, the Cummings of Altyre,
the Celtic Earls of Atholl, the Mackays of Strathnaver, and the Lindsays of
Crawford." (Element Books, p. 79; also p. 35)

Recently, James Trimm of the Society for the Advancement of Nazarene
Judaism, posted the Scottish Declaration of Independence, which was
Scotland's Written Constitution of 1320 established at the time of Robert
the Bruce. According to the Declaration of Arbroath, posted also by the
Constitution Society, the "sacred families" who were among its signatories
believed that they were Israelites who were previously in bondage in Egypt.
Several of the surnames of signatories are the sacred families mentioned in
The Forgotten Monarchy of Scotland:

"Written in fluent Latin, the Declaration of Arbroath reads in English as
follows: To the Most Holy Father in Christ and Lord, the Lord John, by
divine providence Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Roman and Universal Church,
his humble and devout sons Duncan, Earl of Fife, Thomas Randolph, Earl of
Moray, Lord of Man and of Annandale, Patrick Dunbar, Earl of March, Malise,
Earl of Strathearn, Macolm, Earl of Lennos, William, Earl of Ross, Magnus,
Earl of Caithness and Orkney, and William, Earl of Sutherland; Walter,
Stewart of Scotland, William Soules, Butler of Scotland, James, Lord of
Douglas, Roger Mowbray, David, Lord of Brechin, David Graham, Ingram
Umfraville, John Menteith, guardian of the earldom of Menteith, Alexander
Fraser, Gilbert Hay, Constable of Scotland, Robert Keith, Marischal of
Scotland, Henry St. Clair, John Graham, David Lindsay, William Oliphant,
Patrick Graham, John Fenton, William Abernathy, David Wemyss, William
Mushet, Fergus of Ardrossan, Eustace Maxwell, William Ramsay, William Mowat,
Alan Murray, Donald Campbell, John Cameron, Reginald Cheyne, Alexander
Seton, Andrew Leslie, and Alexander Straiton, and the other barons and
freeholders and the whole community of the realm of Scotland send all manner
of filial reverence, with devout kisses of his blessed feet.

"Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the
ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has
been graced with widespread renown. They journeyed from Greater Scythia by
way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long
course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they
be subdued by any race, however barbarous. Thence they came twelve hundred
years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the
west where they still live today. The Britons they first drove out, the
Picts they utterly destroyed, and even though very often assailed by the
Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home
with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time
bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since. In their
kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal
stock, the line unbroken by a single foreigner.

"The high qualities and deserts of these people, were they not otherwise
manifest, gain glory enough from this: that the King of kings and Lord of
lords, our Lord Jesus Christ, after His Passion and Resurrection, called
them, even though settled in the uttermost parts of the earth, almost the
first to His most holy faith. Nor would He have them confirmed in that faith
by merely anyone but by the first of His Apostles by calling, though second
or third in rank, the most gentle Saint Andrew, the Blessed Peter's brother,
and desired him to keep them under his protection as their patron for
ever..."

Of the sacred families of Scotland, the Leslie Clan is of interest to our
inquiry. The Clan Leslie Society presents the following Brief History Of
Clan Leslie:

"All Leslies, regardless from where in Europe they came to America,
descended from the same Scottish Clan and Great Family, one of the very
oldest. It began in 1069 when the Saxon claimant to the throne of England,
defeated by William the Conqueror, fled to Scotland. Edward, the Aetheling
as he was called, arrived there with his mother, an Hungarian Princess, and
his two sisters. They were cordially received by the King, Malcolm III
Canmore. A year later the King married Margaret, one of the sisters, who
became a great Queen of Scotland and a saint of the Christian Church. Her
Chamberlain, Bartholomew, an Hungarian nobleman, an extremely capable and
physically powerful man, had much impressed King Malcolm who made him
commander of Edinburgh Castle. He married Beatrix, the King's sister in 1070
and thus the family and Clan of Leslie was founded. Granted lands in the
Garioch, the Parish of Leslie not far from Aberdeen, became the first family
seat and it is from there that Clan Leslie obtained its name. The present
Leslie Castle, built on the site of the first stronghold, recently was
completely rebuilt and restored by Baron David Leslie who lives there with
his family.

Indeed, a genealogical chart of Edward The Exile Atheling on the Clan Macrae
Online documents that the offspring of Edward included Margaret who married
Malcolm III, King of Scots. They produced Mary of Scotland who married
Eustace III of Boulogne, the brother of Godfrey de Bouillon who with the
Knights Templar captured Jerusalem in 1099. Because Godfrey de Bouillon and
his brother, King Baldwin I of Jerusalem, lacked children, the descendants
of Eustache are considered rightful claimants of the throne of Jerusalem and
the Davidic Bloodline.

Andrew Leslie, a signatory of the Scottish Declaration of Independence, was
the great grandson of Bartholomew and Beatrix, the sister of Edward
Atheling, and became the famous ancestor of the sacred Leslie clan:

"Bartholomew's son Malcolm was knighted by King David and had the Leslie
lands confirmed to him by royal charter, the oldest personal land charter in
Aberdeenshire. He also was appointed Commander of the Castle of Inverurie, a
position held by several of his successors. His grandson, Sir Norman, was
the first to have the family name recorded in a charter. He was one of the
magnates of Scotland who sat in the parliament called by King Robert the
Bruce in 1314. His son Andrew, the 6th Lord Leslie, was one of the great
barons of Scotland who, in 1320, signed the Declaration of Arbroath, a call
to freedom not to be equaled again anywhere until the American Declaration
of Independence. With his sons begins the spread of the family through
several branches."

We do not know if Sarah and Lynn Leslie subscribe to this sort of elitism
based on sacred bloodlines, however, we do lack a better explanation for
their affiliation with prominent individuals who advocate British-Israelism,
such as Peter Michas and Sir Anthony Buzzard. Also a member of the "sacred
bloodline" is Phyllis Schlafly, whose Eagle Forum Alerts are circulated
throughout the Discernment network. Prior to her marriage to Fred Schlafly,
Phyllis Schlafly was Phyllis Bruce Stewart, making her a blueblood of both
the Bruce and Stewart lineages. This information is documented at the
Parsons Technology Genealogy Online:

9656. Phyllis Bruce STEWART (15) was born on 15 Aug 1924 in ST. LOUIS,
MO..(15) She resided Fairmount in ALTON, IL..(15) She received a degree in
Bach. of Arts, Washington Univ in ST. LOUIS, MO.. (15) She received a degree
in Master of Arts, Harvard Univ.. (15) Very active in all levels of
political life and womens rights. Author of many books concerning National
defense.

She was married to John Frederic SCHLAFLY II (son of John Frederic SCHLAFLY
I and Eleanor LYONS) on 30 Oct 1949 in ST. LOUIS, MO..(15) John Frederic
SCHLAFLY II was an Attorney in ST. LOUIS, MO.. (15) Phyllis Bruce STEWART
and John Frederic SCHLAFLY II had the following children:

10538 i. John Frederic SCHLAFLY was born on 25 Nov 1950 in ALTON, IL.. (15)
10539 ii. Bruce Stewart SCHLAFLY was born on 7 Mar 1955 in ALTON, IL.. (15)
10540 iii. Roger Sherwood SCHLAFLY was born on 16 Oct 1956 in ALTON, IL..

10543 vi. Anne Valle SCHLAFLY was born on 16 Nov 1964 in ALTON, IL.. (15)

Although there is no minor contention as to whether the Stewart bloodline
later became the Stuart dynasty, it is well known that Robert the Bruce was
in the royal bloodline of Scotland. After the death of William Wallace
(Braveheart) in 1305, Robert Bruce contended for Scottish independence with
King Edward I of England. Robert's son, Robert I Bruce, was crowned king of
Scots in 1314 and he declared Scottish independence after defeating Edward
II at Bannockburn.

Another prominent Evangelical leader of dual pedigree found among the sacred
families of Scotland is Pat Robertson (see list of sacred families in
Forgotten Monarchy, p. 79). Anton Chaitkin's outstanding article exposing
the British Subversion of America: Militias and Pentecostalism mentions Pat
Robertson's descent also from Winston Churchill, who was a member of the
Ancient Order of Druids.

"Observe the Pat Robertson empire. Robertson writes that his family's
aristocratic lineage, linking it to the British Churchill family, gave his
mother, Gladys Churchill Robertson, confidence that Pat would succeed. His
father, Sen. A. Willis Robertson, was London's and Wall Street's chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee."

Pat Robertson's religious profiteering is legendary, from his use of
Operation Blessing airplanes to transport equipment to his diamond mine in
the Congo, to support for violent dictators such as President Mobuto of
Zaire and Rios Montt of Guatemala, to the sale of his Family Channel to
Rupert Murdoch for $1.9 billion. The latest capitalist venture on the money
trail of Pat Robertson was the reinvestment of his profit from selling the
Family Channel in an aborted deal with the Bank of Scotland to make use of
his financial services company to enter the American market. Prior to his
career as a televangelist, Pat Robertson worked for two years as financial
analyst and management trainee at W.R. Grace Co., which employed emigre
Nazis after WWII. Robertson was also godfather of the child of company
president J. Peter Grace, who was head of the Knights of Malta in the United
States and a key figure in the CIA's Operation Paperclip to remove
classified information from dossiers on Nazi war criminals.

Pat Robertson's ancestor, Winston Churchill, known among European scholars
as the Godfather of the United States of Europe (a term he is said to have
coined), spoke of his vision for world government in an address to Zurich
University in 1946:

"I have always believed, as I declared in the war, that a Council of Europe
was a subordinate but necessary part of the world organization. I thought at
that time, when I had great responsibility, that there should be several
regional councils, august but subordinate, that these should form the
massive pillars upon which the world organization would be founded in
majesty and calm. This was the direction in which my hopes and thought lay
three or four years ago. To take an example from the military sphere, with
which our hard experiences have made us all familiar, the design for world
government might have followed the system of three or more groups of
armies--in this case armies of peace--under one supreme headquarters. Thus I
saw the vast Soviet Union forming one of these great groups. The Council of
Europe, including Great Britain linked with her Empire and Commonwealth,
would be another. Thirdly, there was the United States and her sister
republics in the Western Hemisphere with all their great spheres of interest
and influence..."

The Ambassador Report which included the aforementioned excerpt commented
upon the singular esteem of Winston Churchill by the Worldwide Church of
God:

"...for so many years Churchill was not only portrayed by WCG ministers as
the greatest of all twentieth century British leaders (which he probably
was), but one who represented, not liberal Internationalist ideas, but the
kind of British spirit that stood for God, country, empire--'Anglo-Israel'
values to Worldwiders. Yet, it seems, the real Churchill was a far more
complex man and a far greater visionary than he has been portrayed by the
likes of Herbert Armstrong..." [Ambassador Report, Sept. 1977]

Great Britain's subversion of America depends upon the use of religion as a
cover, and specifically the Pentecostal Movement of which Robertson is a
leading figure and many Discernment leaders, such as Jewel van der Merwe who
is an ordained minister in the Assemblies of God. It is noteworthy that Pat
Robertson's diamond mine ventures have their precedent in Cecil Rhodes'
exploitation of the diamond and gold fields of South Africa underwritten by
Lord Rothschild. Of interest, Robertson studied for a time at the London
School of Economics, founded by the Fabian Society and took his ordination
at the Freemason Baptist Church in Norfolk, VA (1987 Current Biography
Yearbook, p. 477; Sara Diamond, Spiritual Warfare, p. 13)

The London School of Economics was and is funded by the Ford Foundation,
"...[for] the training of the superior manpower needed to carry out schemes
of reform... [Founder and president Sidney] Webb who could not wait until a
new race of supermen had been bred up to establish the millennium, felt that
improved education and intelligent politics would at least start the
necessary process of regeneration." (MacKenzie, The Fabians, Simon &
Schuster, 1977, p. 291]

Under the LSE directorship of Sidney and Beatrice Webb, an elite group of
Twelve Wise Men, which included Bertrand Russell and H.G. Wells, were
selected as the "Co-Efficients" who met to discuss and formulate:

"Ideas about racial improvement by selecting out the efficient�and [George
Bernard] Shaw was working on these 'eugenic' notions in his new play Man and
Superman. Beatrice Webb called it 'the most important of all questions, the
breeding of the right sort of man.'" (Ibid., p. 291)

Anton Chaitkin's groundbreaking article on the British Intelligence creation
of Pentecostalism traces the current religious operation in the United
States to the Rhodes eugenics operation through Oxford University's Rhodes
Scholarship program. Yes, there is a fifth column of British elite in
America who are still loyal to the dominionist and eugenics ambitions of
Great Britain.

The Round Table group had been organized by South Africa's British governor,
Lord Alfred Milner, to fulfill the strategy of British South Africa leader
Cecil Rhodes for a new-style white racialist world empire, in which the
annoying independence of the republican United States, in particular, was to
be extinguished. The core of the Round Table group was assembled from among
the aides to Lord Milner in South Africa. Lord Lothian was the first editor
of the Round Table quarterly, and was the chief executive of the Rhodes
Trust, administering the Rhodes Scholarships to bring Americans and other
"colonial" students to Oxford University...The danger involved in this
British initiative is not a matter of wrong or heretical religious beliefs.
At issue is the buildup of a hostile. irrational, foreign-directed network
within our military and civilian political life.

Two documents on our website present evidence of the continued work in our
century of the Milner Round Table. Mystery Man: George Louis Beer served
from 1915-18 as American correspondent for The Round Table and one of the
originators of the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London and
its American branch, The Council on Foreign Relations. The Belmont
Brotherhood, an expose of the conspiratorial foundations of the John Birch
Society, includes a section on the Pilgrim Society and English-Speaking
Union from a speech presented to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Application of the Duck Rule would include in this British-Israel
imperialist network such as Sir Anthony Buzzard, whose Oxford education,
nomination for the Oxford-based Templeton Prize, not to mention his
Restoration Fellowship based on Unitarian British-Israel Replacement
Theology, connections with the Worldwide Church of God and family
connections with the Bilderbergers, Fabian Society and RIIA, are credentials
worthy of Cecil Rhodes' Society of the Elect!
