My object in coming prominently before the country is to prove that the British people are identical with the Lost Ten Tribes; and to do this, I propose to advance Forty-seven clear and positive Identifications, that shall be supported by 500 Scripture proofs.

It is needless to enter into the early history of Israel The reader is supposed to know that the Twelve Tribes were once united under one king, and afterwards became divided into two kingdoms-the House of Israel under King Jeroboam, and the House of Judah under King Rehoboam. They have been separated ever since. It is most important to bear this separation in mind, because it is through our people not generally remembering this fact that so many errors are made, and the prophecies of the Bible ' become misunderstood. When God, in prophecy, speaks to the. House of Israel, He does not refer to the Jews; and when He refers to Judah, it is generally as, distinct from Israel. Yet it is a most common mistake with biblical dents to think that when God speaks to the House of Israel He always refers to the Jews. Even among themselves, when -an Israelite is spoken of, the conclusion is jumped at directly that a Jew is referred to. Every intelligent Jew will readily confess that the Ten Tribes are not now among their people. A Jewish scholar told me recently, the riot only do the Jews know these Tribes to be lost, but they firmly believe that, wherever they are, a descendant from David is reigning over them. The House of Judah is composed of Two Tribes -i.e., Judah and Levi. These are the Jews of the present day. They never have been lost, it being the desire of the Almighty that they should be known wherever they go by all people.

At the time of the separation, and up to the Siege of Jerusalem under Titus, the House of Judah contained the Tribe of Benjamin.- But that Tribe- separated from Judah before the siege, by virtue of the prophecy commanding them to do so (Jer. vi. r), so-that Benjamin is not now with the Jews. Indeed, it is almost unpardonable to allude to the Jews as embodying Judah and Benjamin, though it is an error commonly made.

The term; Ephraim is synonymous with Israel, and embodies the Ten Tribes as a consolidated- people. Manasseh is a thirteenth- Tribe, decreed by the Almighty to be "a 'great people"-i.e., a distinct nationality; nevertheless Ephraim was to "be greater than he" (Gen. xlviii. r9)-that is, 'a distinct nationality from Manasseh, so that it testifies, of ignorance to include Manasseh as one of the Ten Tribes. Ephraim and Manasseh must be two distinct nations, though of the same stock. Therefore, in seeking for Lost Israel, we need not deal with Manasseh for the present.

The Jews are "of Israel," therefore purely Israelites, but the people of the Ten Tribes were never Jews. This is an important distinction to bear in mind. Scripture often speaks of Judah under the term of Israelites, specially the Prophet Ezekiel; yet when this term is applied to Judah, and it becomes needful to distinguish the Ten Tribes from her, it is done by using the terms "all Israel," "the whole House of Israel," "the House of Israel wholly." These terms are copyright to Israel, and are never applied to Judah.

The Ten Tribes are at the present time inheriting an entirely different class of prophecies to those that now apply to the Jews: by examining just a few of them, we cannot fail to see the marvellous distinction of the two Houses, as those applying to Judah are known by us all to have an actual fulfilment among the Jews to this day. It is only logical to conclude that the prophecies given of Israel must also, in our own days, be having an equally positive and literal, fulfilment.' Hence we invite the reader, for the special purpose of having the mind properly impressed with the distinction of Israel from Judah, to examine the following illustrations, marking well the strong contrast obtained from each. The Scripture references are all from the Prophets, and apply respectively to each House during their times of exile-4e., each class must receive fulfilment contemporaneously with each other; therefore, while Israel was under blessings, Judah at the same time must be under curses.
