THE

ENGLISH NATION IDENTIFIED WITH THE

Part I.—TuHe Past

Lost Israel discovered by its still retaining the old standards of Weight and Measure.

By C. Prazzt Smytnu, F.R.S.S., &c., Astronomer Royal for Scotland ; author of ‘“‘ Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid.”—STrRAHAN & Co., 1864.

Next in importance after language and religion comes metrology, or systems of weight and measure, as a necessary practical method of justice between man and man, and a foundation for all social systems, organized civilization, and lasting human government on earth.

As religion may be of God, and true; or of man, and vain; or of, and to, the devil, and evil—and as each nation has something in religion distinctive of its own innate nature by creation, or historical experience, or divinely appointed destinies—precisely so is it in, and with, metrology. And as religion once received, strikes its roots deep into the inmost fibres of the hearts of both parents and children, generation after generation, and continues to characterize a people, not only from century to century, but from millennium to millennium, so is it with metrology, and perhaps even in a still more intense degree; for though the language of Egypt has long since died out, and the idols of Noph have no more worshippers, yet the chief standard of linear measure of the ancient and wicked Pharaohs of 4000 years ago, may still be seen in active use and reference for measuring off, to the present inhabitants of the Coptic Land, those annual inundations of the Nile River, whereon all their agriculture depends.

Now the metrology of Israel, commenced to be indicated under Divine Inspiration to Noah, carried forward in details under Moses at the construction of the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, and fully established by Solomon at the building, and in the vessels, of the Temple—fixed too in its extreme importance for the people to respect by a multitude of prophets and inspired writers*—was, just like their religion, radically different from the contemporary metrologies of the idolatrous and Cain-like Nations around them, such as Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Phcenicia and others.

Nor is this grand distinction and feature in metrology, that there is a sacred and there is a profane system, any new discovery; for it was admirably pointed out nearly two hundred years ago by the greatest philosopher who has ever lived in England, viz.: Sir Isaac Newton, in his ‘“ Dissertation on Cubits.” But ‘blindness in part,” had already deeply befallen our Nation; nor had the time for lifting the veil from their eyes then arrived. So that though Sir Isaac Newton’s words were almost worshipped by his countrymen in all other subjects, his most earnest conclusions in metrology were simply set atnaught; and the great Ecclesiastical Editors of our English and Scottish Bibles did not hesitate to go on printing, in their notes and commentaries attached to the sacred volume, the British equivalents, not of the Hebrew measures, but of those of Egypt and Babylon, as being the Hebrew. The real Hebrew measures, they said, were very difficult to determine exactly from any data they had before them, while Egyptian and Mesopotamian measures: could be got at most easily by referring to still existing buildings in those countries, and there did not seem to be the slightest suspicion on the souls of those men, Bishops and Doctors of Divinity though they might be, that they were thereby doing despite to the Spirit of God.

The resuscitation of Sir Isaac Newton’s views was however recently performed by the now late John Taylor of London, in

* Levit. xix., 35,37; Deut. xxv., 15; Proverbs xvi. 11; Ezekiel xly., 9, 11.

connection with his remarkable researches, fifteen years ago, into the objects and design of a special and most unique build. ing, which though it stands in Egypt, is not of Egypt; and indeed it preceded in point of time, every other architectural remain, either there or in any other part of the known world. This remarkable building, the Great Pyramid, whose plan and erection at that primeval date, can only be attributed to a certain amount of Divine interference in the affairs of men, having, with such a signal origin, the inestimable practical virtue of having lasted through all the history of man, presents us now with the very forms, sizes and figures of weights and measures communicated to the Patriarchs of old, when God spoke to certain men face to face, and gave their heritages to - His chosen people, before He left all other nations free fora time, if they would, to follow after their own inventions. Hence it is, that without any of the ambiguous character of a mere verbal description, but from solid matter of fact of the date of the original time itself, the special sizes and proportions of the standard measures of the sacred people themselves have been securely recovered, even of those very measures concerning which Moses told all Israel in presence of. the thunderings on Mount Sinai, that they were the measures of the Lord their God. And what do we find, on comparing these sacred measures thus ascertained, with most of the Anglo-Saxon, and many of the Teutonic and Scandinavian measures of the present day? Why this, that all those Nations, but especially the British Nation’s chief standards, and those more particularly which either for length, breadth, surface, weight or cubical contents have been the favourite rule of the Nation, and the traditional heritage of its people from time immemorial, are precisely those which were given to Israel by Moses as sacred, and under the most solemn adjuration to keep to them for ever. Hence our pound weight, old English pint measure, inch length, the ell length too, with these Nations such as Prussians and Swedes, where it is still twenty-five inches long, and our acre-surface of land, are what they are because they are the traditional representatives—through Divine Providence overshadowing and preserving-—of the Israelite measures of old. While if the further question be also demanded, as to what was the original vessel of which our ‘‘ quarters ”’ (wherein corn, the staff of life, is so universally measured) the vessel, I say, of which our quarters are the fourth part, it has been found to be no other than that most sacred vessel of all the sacred Tabernacle of Moses, viz.: the Ark of the Covenant, wherein was

kept the manna that had formed the miraculous bread of the Israelites during their forty years’ sojourn in the Wilderness.

Thus Israel, clinging through all the strivings, strugglings, and unutterable woes of the still longer 2500 years of the second Wilderness sojourn in the Northern captivity, and though clinging latterly in mere blindness and unreasoning feeling to its popularly favourite and accustomed weights and measures, often too in spite of perversely strenuous attempts by human governments and military despots to changé them, has yet unintentionally but not less successfully preserved one of the most remarkable and admirably provable series of documents testifiying to the genealogical origin of the entire people, its stem and descent for the last 3300 years.

A LAYMAN’S SERMON.

Once let us emancipate our Bible from the insipid and prevailing methods of explaining it away employed by our priests; once let us show the masses that it is an unfair action on their part, to extract the real meaning of God’s “‘Sure Word” for the purpose of substituting, oft-times, a senseless and foolish interpretation of their own; once let us prove to the people, that God is our Father, that His kind speech to us is plain, that He means what He says, and does not speak to us in language that requires the help and ingenuity of man to unravel; once let it be seen by our people, that, to tamper with the historical pages of our Macaulay, in the same way as our ministers generally have tampered with Our History, as embodied in the prophetic word of Scripture, which would be to render every page unintelligible and truly false, making it entirely another book than that written by the author; I say, once let it be seen that the glory of the Almighty is, that He speaks to us in language even as Macaulay’s—+.e., in words having a literal meaning, intended to be literally understood ;—then, and not till then, will the Word of our God be felt as a living power throughout the kingdom; then, and not till then, will it meet with a general acceptation, winning the esteem and the admiration of the multitudes. Then, will the Word of God make its own way throughout our nation with a glorious majesty, and will speedily accomplish all the grand results it is destined to achieve. Then, and not till then, will the masses of our kindred submit themselves i in humble and grateful adoration at the footstool of Jehovah; when our whole land, to&ether with our race in all our Colonies, shall burst forth in the full ~ swell and splendour of a National Praise.

And Iam bold to say, that this glory could be ours WITHIN

A YEAR, IF, the whole Church took the matter up at once. But, if the Church will 2o¢ come forth to the work, I.am again, bold to say, that within four years, the masses-of the people, now outside the Church, shall spring forth with a power that shall snap all the red tape around the countless Trust» Deeds that now keep divers Churches within narrow limits; shall explode their nonsenses and follies; and, shall teach the great lesson, that, so long as our good-intentioned people built their hopes upon, and gained their comforts from; human modern creeds, and sectional divisions; preferring to be known as named after men or methods, rather than after their Lord and Master; that; so long, their influence and success were dwarfed, confined, and of doubtful reputation, altogether unworthy of the enlarged desires of their dying Saviour; but that, directly the ‘‘sure word of prophecy’. became. to be respected, directly God’s ‘‘sure word” became the anxious study of the people—in other words; directly God became to be really believed, then, the showers of grace came down with a plenteous redemption, filling our countries with a holy joy and gladness, with an immediate refreshing from the presence of the Most High, never before experienced ; accomplishing within a year or two the whole thing, that the Church with its human appliances had been for centuries attempting. I say, that such, as above notified, will be the result, ifthe Church continue to disregard the instructions. given by God, through Peter, by NOT taking heed to the sure word of prophecy. 2 Peter i. 1g.

I must also hold, with all sincerity, that it would not be an agreeable result to the Ministry and Professors, to lose their claim upon the respect of the populace, because, they had persisted in an obstinate and unreasonable disobedience. Come; let us reason together. Be calm. Wherein can the Ministry lay claim to respect, if, by their persisting to, ignore prophecy, our glories are thereby delayed? How can they credit themselves with manliness, courage, or wisdom, if, because, the mental status of their intellects has not yet received a full development, or, through want of common diligence to study, they fail in capacity to perceive, how prophecy has met, or will meet with fulfilment, they therefore resort to the mean and objectionable subterfuge of destroying its real meaning, in taking from the meaning of the words of God,.by giving a meaning of their own, under the disguise of a. spiritual interpretation, thereby bringing themselves within the pains and penalties of ‘‘ adding unto.” Rev. xxii. 18. Suffer me to give this instruction to the Ministry. With the full knowledge that I shall confront you at the Judgment; I say, it is better far for you to be manly, and confess before your peoples that you cannot understand the ‘‘ word of proa phecy, than to tamper with its meaning. Be honest to your God, to your own Future, and to your Peoples ; and rather let it alone than misapply it. The Bible is full of spiritual instructions that can fit the souls of all for the heavenly life and spheres beyond this world; therefore you have no need ot excuse to shunt the meaning of Scriptures, that, are only given to apply to the events and eireumstances of life in this world ; by foolishly insisting that they apply to the glorious life reserved for all God’s children above.

THE DYING-OUT IDENTITY.

Referring to my “Twenty Seven Identifications of the English Nation with the House of Israel,” to which this work is a Supplement, I here give another Identity. After Israel was cast out of her land, and had become a lost people, God gave her this important promise.—No Nation can be identified with her, unless carrying out its conditions, ia positive and literal detail. ‘‘ Fear not, O Israel, for Iam with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee; though I make a FULL END of all Nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee.” Jer. xxx. 11. This is repeated in Jer. xlvi. 28, and simply means, that, in scattering Israel after she was cast out of Palestine, when she was dwelling in “the Isles,” (see Identification 2nd), and, on account of the vast increase of her population she was finding them “too narrow, by reason of the inhabitants,” (Is. xlix. 19.) and thereby had to.cry out for more country, saying, “Give place to me that I may dwell,” (v. 20.) that God, pitying her then straitened condition, gave her Colonies, including the whole of the “ desolate heritages,” v. 8, that were then in existence (see Identification 7th), and, that, as they would possess these Colonies one by one, the original inhabitants or aborigines found by Israel living within them should in course of time DIE OUT; there should be a ‘full end” made of them, they should not be able to thrive or live before Israel, but gradually become less in numbers, and finally become extinct races.

Now it is utterly impossible to identify Israel, unless this trait is being worked out in her history. Israel must have immense Colonies, and the aborigines must be dying out in them, or, the word of God is at fault, which is impossible. THE IDENTITY is supplied by our Nation only. Were it within our’scope, it would not be difficult to prove that the Welch are not the descendants of the Ancient Britons, but are of the same stock as the English and Scotch; that the real Ancient Briten is an extinct race, having died out before our people: thus the ‘full end” is an accomplished fact in England. In Canada and the Hudson’s Bay Territory, the aborigines are decreasing year by year. In Newfoundland, the last man died in 1858. In America, the Indians are dying out; the tribe among whom, Brainerd, the missionary, laboured, is extinct; not one remains to read the Bible he translated for them with so much pains. The Maories, a bold stalwart race in New Zealand, who in 1830 were 180,000 strong, are now only 50,000; at their present death rate less than 20 years will ensure their ‘‘full end.”” The aborigines of Tasmania are.all gone, not a solitary soul remains; whilst those of Australia, are fast dying out. The same process is in operation with the Caffres of the Cape, and in many of our smaller settlements, like Newfoundland, the work is completed.

In India, we may have an exception to the rule, in the Brahmins, and account jor it, by the statement, that they are literally the sons of Abraham, not that they are Israel, but descendants of Abraham through his second wife, Keturah. Gen. xxv. 1. But as far as’ Lower India is concerned, the decree of the Almighty is effectually working. Captain. Rankin writes me trom Bombay, calling my attention to the ‘‘ wholesale dying out of the natives in Lower Bengal, and the Hooghly districts about Calcutta,’ saying, ‘‘ This, to my. knowledge, has been going on for two years.’ ‘True, the India Office, from an Official Letter I have in my possession, appear to be ignorant of the fact, yet evidently it is true, as the following extract from The Bombay Gazette, under date January 5, 1871, will testify: ‘‘ Fever appears to be very prevalent at presént in some districts near Calcutta.”” The Indian Daily News, of Monday, says, ‘‘We learn from Serampore, that the ravages of fever in the Hooghly districts are very great, and, unless something be done shortly, or some change take place for the better, without anything being done, the population will shortly be removed off the face of the earth. To mention one village only, Jehanabad, we are informed, that, sickness and mortality are so great from fever and cholera, that the people are scarcely able to dispose of the dead. Along the line of road, many houses are falling down, every member of the household having been cut off, the last being burnt by the police.. The fearful destruction of life threatens to leave the land without inhabitants—a wilderness within a few miles ofthe capital of India.” Thus it is surely established that in all our Colonies and Possessions this ‘‘ full end’”’ process is being carried out in detail, and God’s sure word will be verified in a short course of years; its effect can only be worked out by Israel—by no other Nation—and the

English being the only Nation on earth to whom it applies, must surely establish to all intelligent minds another Identity of our nation with Israel.

It is most important that the operation of this promise should be watched, if in existence elsewhere. Denmark has Greenland, but the natives do not die out beforethem. Holland has small settlements in the East, but the operation does not exist there. Germany has no colonies, but their people, because of ‘‘the fulness” of their nation abound here and there in most countries but natives do not die out before their presence; hence, another proof that these North West Nations are not parts of Israel.

IRELAND.

Our plain spoken, most eloquent and much esteemed countryman, John Bright, has rendered very popular his pertinent question, ‘‘ What is our Kingdom the better for Ireland?” I don’t know that it has met with any reply, but I venture to answer, ‘‘ Much every way.” Ireland is one of our many Possessions, fairly won by conquest, and it is absolutely impossible for England to lose any of her rightful Possessions, without doing violence to Scripture, which we cannot do in such a matter. Therefore, the notion of repeal becomes nonsense; agitation in its behalf, purely beating the air; and even a separate Parliament, still retaining Ireland as a part of the United Kingdom, an impossible thing, for no Statesmen could ever achieve sucha result. There are two distinct elements in the population of Ireland. ‘The first, is the so-called Norman element, which is part of ourselves; and, most certainly as we are, so also they are, purely Israelitish. These, our kindred, have supplied us with some of the finest blood and talent our country has owned; some of our best Statesmen and Warriors have come to us from our own race in Ireland. But the second element, most certainly is not Israelitish, but Gentile, neither are they the original inhabitants of Ireland. The aborigines of that land are almost, if not wholly, extinct; and this Gentile portion now in Ireland, and who swarm in certain parts of all our large cities, not only in the United Kingdom, but in America, and in all our Colonies, are literally and positively, no other than descendants of the Canaanites, the seven nations that were in Canaan prior to the possession of that land by our forefathers, in times of old. There need be no doubt about this, their own history and legends fairly proving this fact, and, not only so, but they confess it, and make open boast of it to this day. Therefore, there is no need to strain this point, because, founded upon so much veritable evidence ;

and hence arises another and most complete Identity, as also giving a wonderful and truly interesting fulfilment of another portion of God’s sure word. These Nations, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Jebusites, the Hivites, -&c. (who are even now, what they always used to be, ‘‘ hewers of wood and drawers of water’’), our forefathers were commissioned by God to exterminate, but they disobeyed God by failing to do so, therefore, God in anger declared they should be left in our midst—that they should be left “to prove Israel.” These people were given to idolatry, destitute of mind and reason, with a sort of animal instinct, they vacantly gave themselves over to a foolish, tricksy, and false system ; and, to this day they doggedly and persistently cling to the false and scandalous service, idolatry of another form, 2.€., the service of Rome, ‘‘the Mother of Harlots.” God has placed them by our sides ‘‘ to prove”’ us, and let us thank God that we have thus far stood the test, that, only a small modicum of our people have fraternised with the error, and that even when the system was in use by our rulers in the dark, dark ages, that even then, the people, the masses, though under pains and penalties, groaned and sighed for freedom, and with a Protesting Power, burst the bonds and gained the glorious liberty of the Reformation. And let us thank God, that having tasted the sweets thereof, it becomes impossible for any mean Jesuitical Prime Minister ever to take us back to bondage. Such.a man might try his hardest by prostration, by toe-kissing, by mass attending, by ritualistic priest, and ‘* sister ’-making, by all the wiles of artful cunning, and possibly a few of the simple and lunatic class may be allured ; but, to drag the Nation back to cursedom is impossible. This millstone can never more hang about our necks, and no millstone shall long roll along our Parliamentary floor. Thus _ these Canaanites are still about us, and are fulfilling prophecy by being ‘‘thorns in our sides.” True, they have given rise t6 much bad temper on our part, but, they have brought forth some of the finest feelings of our fallen humanity. Our nature has been refined thereby. Our national religious convictions have been confirmed ; hence, our Nation has been the better for Ireland. As before remarked, we have the same advantages out of the land, as our forefathers had when in it, and as they required “ proving,” so do we; and it is one of the mercies of God, that we have them by us, and that the description He gave of them to our fathers, applies to us. They shall be ‘pricks in your eyes, thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.” Num, xxxiil. 55.

‘‘They shall be snares and traps unto you, scourges in your sides.” Josh. xxiii. 13, ‘‘Their gods shall be a snare unto you.” Judges ii. 3... And surely no people in all the earth give so much vitality to this description as these Irish Canaanites do to us. Truly, are they ‘thorns in our sides,” but mark, only thorns to us Krael. They are thorns to our brothers in America, thorns in Australia, thorns in Canada, thorns in New Zealand—everywhere to us. But they are not thorns to the French, not thorns to the Prussians, to the Chinese, nor to Denmark, Sweden, Holland, and Germany. Hence again, these last cannot be parts of Israel. This view of things, becomes of use to us; we are not to tamper with them, and throw them sops as New York has done, and as Gladstone has done. We are not called upon, because of them, to disestablish an Irish Church, or to give admission to their voice in our Parliament, or in our brothers’ Congress. We are not justified, because of them, to endow Maynooth, to imprison George Mackey,* or suffer Murphy to forfeit the rights of Citizenship. And no member of our Parliament is worthy of the Nation’s cenfidence who would suffer these atrocities to be perpetrated by our Cabinet, without an indignant protest. And no so-called Liberal should find a seat, after the next election, be he ever so much a religious braggart out-of-doors, who has for commercial ends or social position, been a neutral ‘‘ humbug” upon these points. Our mission now is as clear as it was to our forefathers. It is not to abolish Protestant Oaths and Tests. It is not toleration towards a false and wicked imposture, but we are called upon todo the same work tha® our fathers were called upon to do: ‘To destroy all their pictures and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down ali their high places.” Numbers xxxiii. 52. ‘Ye shall utterly destroy all their places, overthrow their altars, break their pillars, burn their groves, hew down the graven images of their gods (saints and relics), and destroy the names of them out of the place.” Deut. xii. 3. Our fathers raised the timid plea of religious toleration, ‘‘Catholic Emancipation,” as their sons have done, when no such wickedness was required of us, and God is still saying to us, I told you ‘to throw down their altars, but ye have not obeyed my voice; why have ye done this?” Judgesii.2. —

* « The Confessional Unmasked,” simply gave godly and_ proper exposure to some indecencies, and blasphemies extracted from books that are now in use in these Canaanitish Colleges. ‘‘ Extracts” were given, accompanied by honest, useful and dignified comments, and no two individuals could more nobly have carried out God’s own instructions, as given above, than did George Mackey and Robert Steele, when they did their best to give circulation to these stmictures. And yet,

Again, these Irish Canaanites are to us as aborigines, and have to come under the ‘dying out” process. It is in’ positive operation, as shown by our last census, when fairly taking into account the thorns who have emigrated, to prick the sides of our brethren across our waters; ‘striking an average of their births for a given number of years; the census of 1871 proves a diminution in their numbers, in the ‘dying out” sense, of nearly half a million of souls.

THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN.

I am anxious to make much importance of the Tribe of Benjamin. A very great deal depends upon understanding this Tribe. Much error is in vogue respecting it, and the meaning of many books of the New Testament is hid from us, because of our blindness concerning Benjamin. I have not much space to spare, but in as few words as will be convenient, let me give a ‘Flash of Light” upon this tribe. These are my chief points, upon which I challenge disproof. Benjamin is a tribe of Israel, one of the tex, and not a tribe of Judah, one of the two. ‘The Disciples of Christ were from Benjamin, therefore Israelites, and not Jews. Paul was an Israelite, and not a Jew. The conversions at Pentecost included Israelites from Benjamin, and not Jews from Judah. I speak plainly, it being important to be understood.

The Theocracy of Israel consisted of twelve tribes, and when Israel first became a Kingdom it still contained twelve ‘tribes. Of this there can be no doubt, as also, ultimately, prior to the Second Coming of Christ, the Nation of Israel will again comprise twelve tribes; but now, the House of Israel only includes ten tribes. Saul, David, and Solomon, were kings over the whole twelve. It was because “‘ Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord” (z Kings xi. 6,), that the Lord said ‘I will surely REND the kingdom from thee,” notwithstanding in thy days, I will not do it, for David thy father’s forsooth! both these honoured men have been prosecuted by the English Cabinet of 1871. Mackey, as truly a martyr as any man has ever been, is now held in Winchester jail, by the consent of the tin flagman, because an English Court found the ‘‘ Extracts” to be indecent. Mark, ye Israel! the % Extracts,’ ” not the Strictures upon the Extracts, were found indecent ; and Steele, a worthy Secretary of a noble Protestant Society, has had his Offices searched by a Royal Warrant, the Me pook seized, confiscated by the Government, while the filthy books, containing all the horrid extracts in their entirety, are STILL the lesson books of these Canaanitish Priests, and for ought I know may form a cherished portion of the Library of some Greenwich man.

sake; but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. Howbeit I will not REND AWAY ALL the kingdom, but will give ONE TRIBE to thy son, for David, my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, which I have chosen.” (v. 12-13). The kingdom here referred to, was that of Israel, as distinct from Judah, as subsequent events clearly prove, so that, though the twelve tribes were under one’ head, it is quite certain, that, from the very first, the.divine government recognised the two divisions.

The kingdom of Israel was to be rent away from Solomon’s son, not the house of Judah; yet, ONE TRIBE, even belonging to Israel, was to remain with Judah. Jeroboam, who was not Solomon’s son, met Ahijah, the prophet ; Jeroboam being dressed in a new garment, Ahijah caught hold of it, and tore it into twelve pieces, saying to Jeroboam, ‘‘take these TEN PIECES, for thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, behold, I will REND the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give TEN TRIBES to thee, but he shall have ONE TRIBE, for my servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake the city which I have chosen, OUT OF ALL THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL.” | (v. 31-32.). This ONE TRIBE was to be taken out of the TEN, therefore, Israel would be left for a time with only NINE; and for atime Judah would possess THREE TRIBES. I say, only for a time; because, this one tribe was not a positive gift, but only as a loan, to serve a special service. God makes this an important point, by explaining the matter a third, time in the 35th verse, ‘‘I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it unto thee, even TEN TRIBES, and unto his son will I give ONE, TRIBE, that David, my servant, may have A LIGHT ALWAY before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me, to put my name there.”” Therefore the mission of the one Tribe was to be ‘‘a light”—it was to be separated from Israel, and to serve this purpose under Judah; nevertheless, though with Judah, it belonged to Israel. This tribe was Benjamin’s, and was with ee
