Once again E Raymond Capt documents Biblical truth that few would even contemplate. The British coronation stone-Jacob's Pillar? This is not strange- check any encyclopedia. What is strange is that so many people are blinded to their identities. If Israel is Britain, France, Scandinavia,other related European countries, USA, and Australia and these peoples - then we need to rethink the Bible. Israel was bound to a covenant , and as God's stewards were obligated to the Law. Maybe that is why so many people's lives are falling apart. Wake up, most of us are not Gentiles!!

An excellent and insightful work. Capt's invaluable work on the history of the British Monarchy and its connection to King David and the Biblical Tribe of Judah is not only fascinating but probes one's mind and forces people to reconsider what they've been traditionally taught from scripture. I would recommend this wonderful work to any serious Bible student. As a good compliment to reading this book, one should read II Samuel chapter 7 and Psalms chapter 89 (and view how those scriptures are fulfilled in today's Monarchial Throne). It's amazing!!

Where did the lost 10 tribes of Israel go? Capt assets that they are alive and well, as Christian Europe and America. If one is familiar with Scripture, it would answer some questions regarding God's fulfilled promises to Abraham, David, and a host of others. Capt assets that God's promise that David's throne will last forever is true, and is the throne of the United Kingdom. Will Jesus Christ return to earth to sit on this throne? Most compelling thesis to consider for the serious student of Scripture.

The Stone of Destiny traced -- presentation of the cumulative evidence which reveals the fate of the Bible's most famous stone.

The scriptures are full of references to "stones", both literal and symbolic. One such stone is identified as the stone upon which the patriarch Jacob rested his head when he dreamed of the heavenly ladder. This stone has not received the attention it deserves from Bible scholars, because they generally assume it was left where Jacob found it.

However, this is not the case. The stone that Jacob later annointed with oil and declared to be "God's House" (Beht-El) did not remain lost in the wilderness of Luz; it continued to play an important part in the destiny of Jacob's descendants. In the past, such suggestions have been dismissed as fascinating legend and tradition, but there are pertinent historical writings and visible evidence worthy of consideration.

Is Jacob's stone "the House of God?" Does it exist today? Does it bear witness to God's amazing plan for our planet? The questions are puzzling, and the answers are startling, throwing new light on the Bible. The purpose of this book is to present the cumulative evidence which reveals the fate of the Bible's most famous "stone".

Raymond Capt has become my favorite author. This thought provoking book charts the traces of the Ark of the Covenant in archeology and history that is hidden from our eyes. Accepted recorded history may not be the most accurate version of history. Read Mr. Capt's works for a new look at very old concepts.
He traces the stone to the Biblical Jacob when he laid his head when he dreamt of the great ladder described in the Bible. The stone was named, Beth-el. The book traces how the Israelites valued this stone and took it with them where they traveled. However, the Israelites had become too sinful and disobeyed God and consequently paid the price.
The house of Judah was taken into captivity but we were reminded by Mr. Capt that God doesn't idly promise something and doesn't fulfill it in a way that is highly original. That stone was taken by the prophet Jeremiah as the city was being taken by the Babylonians and he took the daughter of King of Judah before his sons were killed and the king's eyes were put out. He hid the daughter and this stone in a very unlikely place.
We never think that that the Biblical people traveled far by sea, but they did as Jeremiah took this stone by way of Tanis, Egypt and then on to Ireland where he married the Princes of Judah to the high King of Ireland. The people were the Tuatha de Danann, meaning the House of Dan, (also of the house of Israel). Her name is plastered all over Ireland, Tea Tephi as Team hair or Tara. Tara is named after this daughter of King Zedekiah of Israel and married to preserve the line of Judah promised by God so long ago.
Following the stone, "the Stone of Destiny" had been on loan to the Kings of Scotland from their cousins the Irish, relatives of the ancient Irish, but some how the stone was never returned. All of the Kings and Queens of Ireland were crowned on this stone and then the stone was lent to Scotland and all the Kings and Queens of Scotland were also crowned on this stone. And then the stone went on to England through the merging of the two houses and it has stood in the coronation chair in Westminster Abbey until it was returned to Scotland and now sits in Edinburgh Castle as a good faith gesture to the people of Scotland.
Learn the lost ways, but newly found truth of a stone long forgotten. I highly recommend it.

This captivating book by E. Raymond Capt takes you on a fascinating journey through the Bible and secular history, tracing Jacob's pillar from its origin in Bethel (Gen 28:10-22) to its final resting place in the Isles of Great Britain. He shows how this Stone of Destiny upon which the Kings of the House of David were crowned is the exact same Stone that has been preserved for centuries and used in the coronation ceremonies of the kings and queens of Ireland, Scotland, and England (descendants of David's House). It is amazing to comprehend, but Mr. Capt brings the evidence together as the pieces of a puzzle until it becomes clear that our God is a covenant-keeping God and delights in leaving physical proofs of His Sovereignty and Faithfulness among His people. It just makes you know that if God can preserve a Stone through thousands of years, He is certainly able to establish His everlasting Kingdom in righteousness among regathered Israel. Another intriguing book concerning this Righteous Kingdom is Mr. Capt's recently published book entitled Stone Kingdom, in which he identifies the United States of America as the fifth kingdom of Daniel, chapter 2.

Capt gives you alot for your dollars and you come away with a gestalt of what the truth is about this history, whether completely true or not, it broadens your horizons totally and completely. I believe it to be a useful book and for the money well worth it.

Very good read. Very informative information on the the biblical Jacob and the promise God made to him through a dream. The book for as small as it is has alot of info and alot one can use for historic studies.

Using this book and a good map of Ireland, I found and explored the two possible sights of the tomb of Jeremiah. I had a great time in the effort.

This book is very educational. I am not a student of the Bible, but I really love the history and the theories that are written about this time period.
