THE ROYAL HOUSE OF BRITAINMISSION IMPOSSIBLEGod makes two kinds <strong>of</strong> promises in the Bible, conditional <strong>and</strong> UN- conditional. He promised Israel blessings for keeping His Law. He promised Jeroboam a dynasty for keeping His Law. These were conditional promises. However, God gave no conditions when He toldAbraham that he would be the father <strong>of</strong> many nations, <strong>and</strong> kings would come out <strong>of</strong> him. Gen 17:4,6. Likewise when He said that the heir would come out <strong>of</strong> Sarah. God put no conditions on His word. He spoke it as though it would be fact. This is also the case when Godtalks about David in II Sam 7:16.David is promised, unconditionally, that his bloodline would never run out. God also said that David's kingdom AND throne would go on forever. David had no say in the matter. He couldn't do anything to hasten or stop those events from occurring. God didn't give Davida choice, He just said that those things would come to pass. The whole passage from verse 10 on doesn't seem to make any sense.When this prophecy <strong>of</strong> Nathan was given, Israel was at peace with everyone. In fact David ruled from the Euphrates to the Nile. There was peace, prosperity. The Israelites had finally settled down in one place <strong>and</strong> united as one nation under God <strong>and</strong> David. Well, then,how can Nathan come <strong>and</strong> say that God has appointed a place for Israel, He would plant them IN that place, from which they'd move no more, <strong>and</strong> be free from their old enemies? Weren't they IN their own place? Weren't they at peace with their enemies? And who wasthinking <strong>of</strong> moving? We'll come back to these questions. Verses 11 through 13 don't look so unusual. They portray David's soon to come family history. David will be "made an house(dynasty), he will die a natural death, Solomon is to be king, Solomon will build thetemple. And the followup is easily disconnected from David. It says that "his (Solomon's) throne shall be stablished forever." BUT, the first <strong>and</strong> last parts are very hard to accept. Well, the part about David's bloodline (his house) might be OK. David had a lot <strong>of</strong> kids <strong>and</strong>they all lived 3000 years ago, so there are probably some people around who come from David's bloodline. But can anyone believe that the last part is true? Does David's "throne" exist today? Today is part <strong>of</strong> forever, isn't it?Let's go one step further in establishing the impossibility <strong>of</strong> this promise. We have to tie these two parts together. Psalms, Jeremiah <strong>and</strong> I Kings all say that the "house" <strong>and</strong> the "throne" go together. I Kings 2:4, "shall not fail thee a man on the throne <strong>of</strong> Israel." And did younotice how that statement adds a whole new dimension to the picture? Not only must there be a direct, bloodline descendant <strong>of</strong> David ruling, he or she must be ruling over some Israelites!! Is it possible that in today's modern world we can fulfill these conditions? Yes, butonly through the teaching on the Lost Tribes.Let's fill out this promise to David by looking at Psalm 89. We have two renderings <strong>of</strong> the events. First an overview <strong>of</strong> the basics, verse 4. David's "seed is stablished forever, <strong>and</strong> his throne to all generations." Then starting in verse 22, David is promised that no enemywould exact (prosper, Isaiah 54:17) upon him, nor through war would his old enemies, Canaanites, Egyptians, Edomites, etc., hurt him. He also gets honor <strong>and</strong> other good stuff.Then God reiterates the forever part in verse 29. Not satisfied, God makes sure we heard by pinning His promise to the Sun <strong>and</strong> the Moon. Jeremiah echoes Nathan in chapters 31 <strong>and</strong> 33. In 33:17 he says that, "David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne <strong>of</strong> thehouse <strong>of</strong> Israel." And 31:35-36 says if there's a sun, moon or stars, there'll be a nation Israel. Mission impossible.The only conclusion that can be drawn from these promises is that somewhere in the world, this minute, there is a bloodline descendant <strong>of</strong> King David ruling over the descendants <strong>of</strong> the Israelites.Let's show <strong>of</strong>f God a bit. See how He worked out this mission. Gen 49 is a crossroads <strong>of</strong> the Bible. Yet most people don't underst<strong>and</strong> the implications <strong>of</strong> Jacob's actions in passing out the blessings <strong>and</strong> birthright before he dies. Jacob gives Joseph, <strong>and</strong> therefore his boysEphraim <strong>and</strong> Manasseh, all the good stuff. Virtually the whole birthright. Jacob only keeps back the right to be king <strong>of</strong> the family <strong>and</strong> make it's governing laws. This means that although Joseph <strong>and</strong> his family will be the rich nobility <strong>of</strong> Israel, someone from Judah( a Jew)will be king.When Joseph dies, the Tribe <strong>of</strong> Ephraim will be the pre-eminent tribe <strong>of</strong> the nation, but will accede to Judah in being king. As soon as Joseph dies in Egypt, some one from the tribe <strong>of</strong> Judah will take the rulership under Pharaoh. This person will be from the Zarah family<strong>of</strong> Judah; he was firstborn. Two hundred years after the secession <strong>of</strong> Judah from the nation Israel, Assyria conquers Samaria <strong>and</strong> deports the ten tribes(millions <strong>of</strong> them) to northern Mesopotamia. Most <strong>of</strong> them migrate to northwest europe <strong>and</strong> the British Isles over the next17 centuries. But never fear, we still have a Judahite king in Jerusalem named Zedekiah. Oops! Here comes Nebuchadnezzor. He conquers Judah, kills Zedekiah's sons <strong>and</strong> carries Zedekiah <strong>and</strong> 95% <strong>of</strong> the people to Babylon. The line is cut!! What about David's promisenow?No problem. The Zarah line is ruling all across the northern Mediterranean. By this time they've got colonies in Spain, Irel<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> Britain. But the "throne <strong>of</strong> David" is not in those places. It is in Jerusalem. And the male bloodline has been cut! But not the FEMALE. Godallowed the daughters to inherit when no male heirs were available. So Jeremiah takes the King's two daughters, <strong>and</strong> leaves for Irel<strong>and</strong>. He drops <strong>of</strong>f one daughter in Spain <strong>and</strong> then marries the Pharez-Judah daughter <strong>of</strong> Zedekiah to the Zarah-Judah High King <strong>of</strong> Irel<strong>and</strong>.This final move sets things straight; the way God outlined them. Zarah is back on top. The "throne" is preserved. The resting place for Israel is being prepared for the arrival <strong>of</strong> the ten tribes as they begin to migrate across europe.All things are possible with God.The chart below briefly shows the progression <strong>of</strong> the Royal lines Zarah-Judah <strong>and</strong> Pharez-Judah. I have read that Queen Victoria spent one million Pounds establishing her genealogy. There is a wonderful genealogy chart produced by R.H. Milner which lists ALL thekings to descend out <strong>of</strong> Judah. Let me bore you with the list <strong>of</strong> Royal lines included on this chart: Troy, Sicambrians, Franks, ancient British, Byzantine, Tudor, Anglo-Saxons, Norse, Normans, Guelph, Wettin, Skiold, Irish, Scottish, <strong>and</strong> Hungarian.
