of Northern Ireland to the British
Crown. Naval bases, especially the one
at Londonderry, played an invaluable
'lart in keeping open the supply link
etween Britain and the United States
in World War II. (The remainder of
Ireland was neutral during the war. It
even provided a haven for dangerous
Nazi agents.)
The late Sir Winston Churchill said
that Britain o~ed its very survival to
Northern Ireland. He wrote in 1943:
"But for the loyalty of Northern Ireland

Now Britain is in danger of losing
this key area right on her doorstep.

Why Irish Animosity?
"England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity,"
is an old Irish motto. In
Bible prophecy reveals the amazing
:ll1swer to the puzzling, SOO-year-old
"Irish Questi0n."
The Irish are, in part, descendants of
the tribe of Dan of the House of Israel.
History records that some of the original
settlers of the EmeraJd Isle were the
"Tuatha De Danaan" - the tribe of
Dan,
Notice the prophecy regarding Dan
of Genesis 49: 17 : "Dan shall be a
serpent by the way, an adder in the
path, that biteth the horse heels, so
that his rider shall fall backward."
Guerrilla Warfare
The prophecy refers in analogy to
a snake which was common to the
Middle East. This creature was notorious
for hiding in the ruts and holes
of roads. From its concealed position,
it would suddenly strike its advancing
prey.
This shows a type of warfare based
on (/liming and .flre/tegem rather than
sheer force. Guerrilla warfare, if you
please! This is exactly the method the
Irish have employed against the British
throughout this century and even
before.
But this isn't all. Few people have
realized the disastrous worldwide consequences
to Britain of this Irish-pel'­
fected strategy.
"Within one man's lifetime, the
LR.A.. [the outlawed, underground
. lriJh Rep/lbLican Army] has waged a
successful war on the British Army,
helped break the power of the British
government in Southern Ireland, and
by pro/,iding a pat/em of defiance for
India, Burma, Kenya, Cyprus, Malaya,
and E,~,'Ypt , he/s been e'/Ier since helping
10 disintegrate the British Empire"
(Sean O'Faolain, LIFE, November 7,
1955).
As O'Faolain said, Ireland has become
a curse to England." God
promised curses in Leviticus 26 and
Deuteronomy 28 for failure to keep His
Laws. He often uses other nations to
administer these curses I

Quarter, Monday, July 4, Minutes before, a brick was thrown at the car
making a dent in the hood (visible at right near the radiatorl, The brick was
hurled from the fourth floor of a building being reconstructed. Later, police
arrested a man in connection with the incident,
every CrtSlS of England's history, the
Irish haye seized the moment of weaklless
to strike. No two neighboring
ations have ever had such completely
opposite histories.
But why? What lies at the roots of
this strange animosity?
Ireland's Goal
"Swinging" Britain is in a deep financial
crisis. But the Irish RepubFc is
now experiencing an economJC surge.
Foreign firms-especial!y 117 est German
-are leading Dublin's industrialization.
Ireland eventually wants entry into
the European Common Market. Her
leaders are waiting for the right moment.
She will ha'lle to join if the British
ever close their vast market to Irish
products.
The Irish Republic's Premier Sean Lemass
said not long ago that Ireland can
no longer be neutral in today's world.
H e declared that the Republic seeks
to join the EEC not just for economic
but mainly for politic(l/ and religiolfs
reasons.
Bible prophecy reveals ten nations
will ultimately unite in a politico-religious
power-bloc in Europe (Rev. 17 :12).
This union will bring about the military
defeat of . Great Britain and the
United States. (The booklet, 1975 in
Pro phec)'J explains this in detail.)
It is obvious IreJand will in one way
or another be closely allied with-or be
an actual member of - this coming
anti-American and anti-British union.
Be alert to the rapidly changing cond
itions in the British Isles!
