4.0 out of 5 stars A good book on the Lost Tribes., December 29, 2006

By	Scripture Studier (WI,USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This is a good,early work with some helpful genealogical lists at the end of it.
Mr.Allen does an excellent job of explaining the joining the Zarah and Pharez lines of Judah with the marriage of Tea Tephi to Herremon(son of Gallum aka William the Conqueror).
One issue from a prior review should be investigated with Scripture.If Israel was never lost or they were destroyed,why would the Messiah send his disciples to "the lost sheep of Israel"(Mt.10:6)and why would James be addressed to the "12 tribes in the dispersion"(James 1:1)?
Old Testament prophecy has not been fulfilled!Read Rev. 4:6-8 and you will find listed there the 4 brigade standards of Israel.
Some of the things that I found interesting in this book:
There is an excelllent linking of Ireland(names and places)with Hebrew names.
Herremon's family history has multiple men named Heber.
The name "Milesian" as in "Milesian Kings" means soldier in Latin.
I have read and heard of Ollam Fallah being the prophet Jeremiah.
I would have liked to see some form of evidence backing up the suggestion that Jeremiah and Baruch the scribe were related to the princesses of Judah.Particularly Jeremiah as Grandfather of Tea Tephi.
While there are many good elements to this book,I can't agree with the "spiritual Israel" concept.Call it "replacement theology"or "dispensationalism", it isn't supported by the Bible.Israel is not spiritual.It's a physical entity.None of the tribes have been permanently excluded or replaced from recieving the Messiah.While Gentiles can be grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel,the idea that the church replaces Judah or Israel is not true.
This is a good book and worth reading,but there are three books that I recommend more on the subject.
"Israel's Tribes Today" by Steven M. Collins.
"The Story of Celto-Saxon Israel" by W.H.Bennett.
"Symbols of our Celto-Saxon Heritage" by W.H.Bennett.These books are the best I have read on the subject of the lost tribes of Israel to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable resource for every Christian and Jew, December 18, 2000

By	Brian S. Somers (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While this book was published in 1925 if memory serves me correctly, IMO it has not been surpassed for clarity of exposition. The reader will learn much to his or her advantage and growth in relation to HaShem or Jesus. I will say that there is some web sites that purport to say that the Stone of Scone is hidden now. However, I do think that Queen Elizabeth II holds the Davidic throne in trust for the return of the King of Zion, Y'Shua HaMessiach.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the Standard for all Lost Tribe of Israel books, February 12, 2002

By A Customer

This book is the most valuable book I have besides my Bible. It will show you the scriptures like you never have seen them before. It was well written by an amazing Bible Scholar in 1900. Most books on this subject will refer to this book. All my family and friends are reading it now. Enjoy!
