"GOD is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent. Hath He said and shall He not do it, or bath He spoken and. shall He notmake it good?" ' It therefore follows, from the clearest of Scripture evidence, that the seed of King David would be perpetuated purposely to provide rulers over the kingdom of 'Israel. "The Lord has Sworn TN TRUTH unto David, He WILL NOT TURN from it : of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne" (Ps. cxxxii. 11): "I will establish the throne of his kingdom FOR EVER. Thine house and thy kingdom shall be established FOR EVER" (2 Sam. Vii. 12-16). "I will establish the throne of thy kingdom UPON ISRAEL' FOR EVER" (I Kings ix. 5 ; I Chron. xvii. 11, 12). " Ought ye not to. know that the Lord God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David FOR EVER, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?" (2 Chron. xiii. 5; xxi. 7.) "Thus saith the Lord, if ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant, of the night, and that there should notbe day and night in their season, then (mark,' not without) may also my covenant with David my servant,, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne" (Jer.- xxxiii. 20, 21). Of course we do not accept 'the teaching sometimes offered, that these Scriptures apply to Christ, because they would be totally false if they did. Christ has never reigned upon earth as yet. He will do, but the time is yet future. He cannot reign unless all .;give to Him allegiance, and all enemies are cast under His footstool. This has never yet been the case. Take the con. verts from millions of people, the heathen and idolators of all climes, and in comparison they would resemble but a thimbleful of water out of the ocean. This state of things is existing to this very day. Hence honest intelligence can only maintain that they refer to the literal seed of David, God's servant, and not His Son. David's sceptre ruled over the people up to the time of the Babylonish captivity, when Zedekiah the Kingg bad his' eyes put out, his sons killed before him, and he was taken to Babylon ; but though his sons were slain, his seed, the legitimate ruling seed, was not extinct, because he had daughters, "the King's daughters" (Jer. xliii. 6), and they escaped. They were specially entrusted by the Almighty to the care , of Jeremiah the prophet. God distinctly promises that "the remnant-that is escaped of the House of Judah (which was David's house)- should again take root downwards and bear fruit upwards" (Isa. xxxvii. 3 r ). It was specially; given, to the prophet Jeremiah, by prophesying to destroy the then king - dom, because he was bid "to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down", (Jer. i. 10); and, having done this rooting up, he was given a second commission "to build and to plant" (same verse)-i.e., rooting it up in one place, he was to re-establish it in another, God declaring to Jeremiah that "it shall be well with thy remnant." and that he would cause everybody, while in the execution of his mission, "to entreat him well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction" (Jer.-xv, 11)-i.e., notwithstanding difficulties might arise,, yet heshould pass safely through them all-nothing should, prevent him carrying out the instructions the Lord had given him; so that we have the, plain statement by God that the thing should be done; so that, even if we could not trace Jeremiah executing his work, fidelity to God requires that we should believe it was literally and successfully done, for God could not break through His word. All Christians must be quite certain- that the kingdom, with this particular -branch of the royal- seed, "the King's daughter," was replanted, because, we are so expressly told,. "the zeal of the Lord of Hosts shall do this (Isa., xxxvii. 32). The prophet Ezekiel, who lays hold of the substance of the foregoing .and embodies the matter in "a riddle," speaks of the royal seed under the figure of its proper emblem, "the high cedar," where we are told that the Lord would take "the highest branch" i.e, the legitimate succession, of the ruling line, and that this branchshould be "a tender one"-:e., of the, feminine, and not of the masculine gender, or, in other words, "the King's daughter," and would "plant it upon an high mountain and eminent, in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it" (Ezek. xvii. 22), where the kingdom should "bring forth boughs," "branches, and shoot forth sprigs i.e,.beget colonies ; and that "under it shall dwell all fowl of every' wing " i.e., that every nation should trade with it, and consider it essential to be represented by their ambassadors and consuls, because the kingdom was to be replanted in "'a land of traffic," "a city of merchants." "a fruitful field," "planted by great waters," therefore in an insular or island position, where, from that time, "it grew andd became a spreading vine," or a great nation.

THE IDENTITY has the advantage of claiming all these descrip- tions, as really only applying, to the British nation; and, with the conclusive proofs already given that we are identical with lost Israel, we have the right to claim our Queen as descended from David. If the above Scriptures have been carried out this must be so, even if we could not trace the connection. But we have the proofs. We possess all the links. There are none missing. There is not a flaw. History comes honestly and majestically to our help. It is an undeniable. historical fact, that about B.C. 580, i.e., the very time of the Babylonish captivity, that a " princess from the East" did arrive in the north of Ireland. Her name was Tephi, purely. a Hebrew word, a proof in itself that she must have had Eastern extraction, and she was accompanied by a guardian known as the Ollam Fola, another Hebrew word, showing Eastern origin, and which means a Revealer, which is the same as a Prophet. This. Prophet was accompanied also by one Brug, no ' doubt Baruch, because Jeremiah and Baruch were undoubtedly together (Jer. xliii. 6). From this time many new things were introduced into that part of Ireland of a clear Hebrew origin; thus the name of the place, Lothair Grofinn, was changed to Tara (TAURA), a Hebrew word,' signifying "The Law of the Two Tables." The Mur-ollamain was established, Hebrew for College of Ollams, or School of the Prophets. The Iodhan Moran was created, also Hebrew for "a Chief Justice." The Rectaire, Hebrew for the Judge. The king of Ireland then reigning, one Eochaid, we are informed, by historical record,, married this Tephi by the consent of the Prophet, who imposed upon the king that he should renounce his false religion, Baalism, and worship the God of the Hebrews, with many other conditions. The king accepted them all, hence the Law of the Two Tables. The Ten Commandments was accepted as the law of the land from that time, and a whole system of new things, having direct Hebrew origin, appeared at Tara at the same time, the very time of the Babylonish captivity, B.c. 58o; and, taking these in connection with the commands of God to Jeremiah, that they should be accomplished, we surely, must be slow of heart to believe the words of God, if we cannot accept these historical proofs, that the Almighty's great plan was worked out in this way. This Tephi, the " Princess from the East," the veritable ," king's daughter," was married, and from her we obtain a direct and unbroken line of ancestry to Fergus the First, who went from Ireland to Scotland, and from Fergus the First of Scotland, we get the same unbroken line to the time of our James the First; and from James the First of England, we get the same unbroken line to our beloved Victoria, the present glorious Queen of Great Britain and Ireland; for though our George came from the Continent, he married the grand-daughter of King James the First, and so the line was preserved intact. The seed came in by a woman, was preserved in a woman, and the declaration of our Lord that He will make the great work of our Identity and restoration a "short work upon the earth," "cutting it short in righteousness" (Rom. ix. 28), coupled with the promise that we shall have longevity restored to us upon the work being completed, it will not be strange if the seed goes out by a woman. We try, " God save the Queen." May it be so.

NOTE.-Our great work is to fill these pages with as many Identities, in a terse way, as we can, therefore we cannot be expected to supply all the historical proofs and references that can be produced. This branch of the subject is in the hands of the Rev. F. R. A. Glover, M.A., who is pursuing it in a vigorous and scholarly way, through the pages of our monthly serial, "Life from the Dead," a journal devoted to the subject of our Identity with Israel. Several papers from Mr. Glover's pen upon this subject have appeared, in which all the Hebrew and historical references are given; and all readers having the, interest of God's Word at heart, anxious that the same should receive substantiating testimony to its truth, that the voice of infidelity, now rampant, may be silenced, are earnestly requested to subscribe to this serial.
