THE PROPHET JEREMIAH AND TEA (TAMARA) TEPHI

We are about to go into bondage.  We could possibly learn something of our future by studying what happened in the days of Jeremiah.  Here is a video of how the meeting of Tamara Tephi and the Irish King might have been (featuring Enya early in her career):

JEREMIAH'S VOYAGE

An old man arrives on an Island with a small group of people in 583 BC. He brings the daughter of a King, a scribe named Simon Brug and some relics. The powerful Milesian High King of all Ireland allows the old man complete control. Instituting laws, schools and congresses, the old man forever changes the face of the Island's history, and subsequently the history of the entire world. Apparently incidental to all this, is the fulfilling of a 500 year old prophecy.

Few people know that Jeremiah was much more than a prophet. He tends to get lumped in with Isaiah, Ezekial, and the others. Jeremiah did more than go around speaking doom and gloom. He held a high level position in the kingdom of Judah. He was the grandfather of King Zedekiah. II Kings 24:18. Most importantly, Jeremiah was God's Trustee of the Bloodline and the Throne of David.

Jeremiah's commission has always puzzled scholars. One can find where Jeremiah rooted out, pulled down, destroyed, and threw down kingdoms. History shows that his prophecies about the destruction of kingdoms came true. The mystery is, where did Jeremiah "build and plant?" The scriptural account doesn't contain any building and planting. There is also some confusion about Jeremiah's being put "over the nations." It would appear at first glance that this meant his prophesying against them. This is not the case. First, Jer 1:10 says that God set him "over the nations, not nations (in general). This is repeated with the word kingdoms; the kingdoms. The bible is concerned with only one people, the twelve tribes of Israelites. Jeremiah was to "throw down" AND "build and plant" the Israelite nations. We'll have to follow his trail to find where he accomplished his mission.

First we'll look at the Biblical account. Jer 15:11-14 tells us Jerry is going to a brand new place he "knowest not." Isaiah fills out the picture a bit. Isaiah 41:1-3 tells us that a "righteous man from the east" was put over nations and kings. This man would not travel by foot ( on land). Jer 41:10 establishes the presence of the "king's daughters" in the group with Jeremiah. Jeremiah, as their great-grandfather, would certainly have assumed the postion of Guardian.Then we find Jeremiah and the girls going to the Egyptian city of Tahpanhes. In fact, there is an ancient structure there that bears the name, "Palace of the Jew's daughters." Isaiah helps us again with a last bit of confirmation, in chapter 37:31, telling us that a "remnant of Judah" shall escape and "take root downward."

Before going on, we must take notice of what God had promised Jeremiah and his fellow travelers. God told Jeremiah that he'd be treated kindly by the Babylonians and die a natural death. Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe and Ebed-Melech, the Ethiopian, are also told they'd be spared. The probable number in Jeremiah's traveling band was five: Jeremiah, Baruch, Ebed-Melech Tea Tephi and her sister.

It's not so hard to trace the migration of large groups of people. Not so with small groups. But God knows this too, and has left evidence that we may overcome our doubts about Jeremiah's destination. But we have to go the history books. Only one place in the world claims to have the grave of the prophet Jeremiah. Only one country's history tells of an old man, and his scribe Brug bringing a king's daughter from Egypt. Only one country claims the Harp of David for it's Arms. Only one country has Jerrys coming out of it's ears.

IRELAND.

Although, due to the Bards embellishing the story, accounts of Jeremiah's arrival and work in Ireland differ in some details, the basic elements of each tale are the same.

• The Stone, known as the "Stone of Destiny" came from Spain,
• and before that, from Egypt
• It came in the company of an aged guardian, who was called "Ollam Folla", (Hebrew for revealer or prophet)
• Accompanying the man was an eastern king's daughter
• Eochaidh (Eremhon) married the daughter, Tea Tephi
• The aged guardian became the most influencial Statesman and Spiritual leader of Ireland.

Remember the evidence I mentioned, that God would supply us to confirm Jeremiah's trip? The following picture is of an inscription found in a tomb located in Schiabhla-Cailliche, near Oldcastle, County, Meath, Ireland, not far from Tara. Thirty-some stones with strange markings upon them, lie in the sepulchral chamber within the huge cairn of stones which make up the tomb. A large carved stone outside the tomb is till pointed out as Jeremiah's judicial seat. Our confirmation lies on those thirty stones in the cairn.

One interperation, by George Dansie of Bristol, says the the stones show a Lunar Eclipse, in the constellation of Taurus and a conjunction of the planets Saturn and Jupiter in Virgo. The prow of a ship is shown in the center, with five lines indicating the number of passengers it carries. On the left, a part of the ship, perhaps the stern, is shown with only four passengers, one having been left behind, as indicated by the line falling away from the ship. The wavy line indicates the passage of the ship across the ocean, terminating at a central point on an island.

The stellar and planetary alignment of the inscription gives a date of 583 BC. This date allows just the right amount of time for our little band to go to Egypt, and return to Palestine briefly before making their way to Spain, then Ireland.

TEA TEPHI

Buried ineradically in the poetry and folk-lore of Ireland is the tale of a Prophet, an Egyptian Princess and Simon Brug (Baruch) a Scribe. They Landed in Ireland about the same time that the destruction of Jerusalem took place, bearing with them a great chest and a stone wrapped on a banner. The Princess married the Zarahite King, Eochaidh II. Ard-dath, Ard-righ, or Heremon (horse man of all Ireland), and their son was Irial. I, (M.R. Munro Faure) give quotations from old Irish verse:

The praises of Tea Tephi, daughter of Lughaidh (equivalent in Erse of Bethel) are sung as:
"The Beautiful One with a Royal Prosperous Smile."
"Tephi (Hebrew beautiful) the most beautiful that traversed the Plain."
"Temor of Bregia, whence so called."

Relate to me O learned Sages,
When was the place called Temor?
Was it in the time of Parthalon of battles?
Or at the first arrival of Caesaire?
Tell me in which of these invasions
Did the place have the name of Tea-mor?
O Tuan, O generous Finchadh,
O Dubhan, Ye venerable Five
Whence was acquired the name of Te-mor?
Until the coming of the agreeable Teah
The wife of Heremon of noble aspect.
A Rampart was raised around her house
For Teah the daughter of Lughaidh (God's House)
She was buried outside in her mound
And from her it was named Tea-muir.
Cathair, Crofin not inapplicable.
Was its name among the Tuatha-de-Danaan
Until the coming of Tea - the Just
Wife of Heremon of the noble aspect?
A wall was raised around her house
For Tea the daughter of Lughaidh,
(And) she was interred in her wall outside,
So that from her is Tea-mor.
A habitation which was a Dun (Hebrew court) and a fortress
Which was the glory of murs without demolition,
On which the monument of Tea after her death,
So that it was an addition to her dowry.
The humble Heremon had
A woman in beautiful confinement
Who received from him everything she wished for.
He gave her whatever he promised,
Bregatea a meritorious abode
(Where lies) The grave, which is the great Mergech (Hebrew burial place)
The burial place which was not violated.
The daughter of Pharaoh of many champions
Tephi, the most beautiful that traversed the Plain.
She gave a name to her fair cahir,
The woman with the prosperous royal smile,
Mur-Tephi where the assembly met.
It is not a mystery to be said
A Mur (was raised) over Tephi I have heard.
Strength this, without contempt,
Which great proud Queen have formed
The length, breadth of the house of Tephi,
Sixty feet without weakness
As Prophets and Druids have seen.

JEREMIAH'S TOMB IN IRELAND

Great epic saga:

Jeremiah's Tomb. (The Tomb of Ollamh Fodhla) by JAH. Cead Mile Failte (A Hundred Thousand Welcomes).   Cairn T, Loughcrew, nr. Oldcastle, Co. Meath, Ireland. Copyright © 1998 - JAH. Revised 2000, 2003 & 2006 All rights reserved.

 

Welcome to the Tomb of Jeremiah
the Bible Prophet.

 
Cairn T, at Loughcrew, nr. Oldcastle, Royal Meath in Ireland is the Tomb of Jeremiah the Bible Prophet who was commissioned by God to tear down; uproot (from Jerusalem) and plant (in Ireland) the daughter (the Tender Twig - Teia Tephi), from the line of David (symbolised in Scripture as the High Cedar), of king Zedekiah, in c. 588 B.C.; the Throne of Israel - the Lia Fail / Bethel Stone and The Ark of The Covenant. Jeremiah 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
The proof of the fact, that this cairn is the tomb of Jeremiah, is "written in stone" in hieroglyphics, on the stones within the cairn itself.
So how did Jeremiah come to, and end up being buried in Ireland, when he was a native of Anathoth near Jerusalem?
Jeremiah was the Prophet sent by God to king Zedekiah of Jerusalem, who had broken God's Covenant, to warn him to return to keeping The Covenant or God would send king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to lay siege to and destroy Jerusalem. Zedekiah did not like God's Message and so decided to punish the messenger and put him in prison. However, that did not prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled, it only made its fulfillment more certain. Nebuchadnezzar sent his army and laid siege to The City, whose inhabitants became so hungry that they ate their own children. The City fell and was burned and Solomon's Temple on Mount Moriah - The Holy Place - was also destroyed.
Nebuchadnezzar; who was sent by God to punish Zedekiah; honoured Jeremiah as God's Prophet; released him from prison and gave him free rein to do as he was commanded by God.
Zedekiah and all of his sons were captured; taken to Babylon* where all of his sons were slain in front of Zedekiah's eyes and then he was blinded, so that the execution of his sons would be the last thing he ever saw. He himself died in prison, in Babylon, and all of this was because he betrayed God; broke The Covenant and caused his people to suffer poverty under his own laws, instead of prosperity under God's Laws in The Covenant that is written in The Torah, which is the collective name for the five Books given to Moses at Horeb in Sinai, for the world, and means The Law.
*Ezekiel 17:4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants (Babylon).
Jeremiah hid with Zedekiah's daughter Teia Tephi in a cave under The Holy Temple, built by Solomon, on the site where Abraham had offered to sacrifice Isaac, where The Ark of The Covenant was hidden along with Jacob's Pillar, the Bethel / Lia Fail Stone, which is king David's Throne of Israel. He did this to protect Teia Tephi and The Ark from being found, and so that no-one would know where The Ark was being taken. The Ark of The Covenant is the special box inside which The Torah and The Stone Tablets, on which The Ten Commandments were written, are kept.

Bethel - The Lia Fail - Stone of Destiny - Jacob's Pillar

Once the coast was clear, Jeremiah took the princess and God's Treasures and went first to Mizpah and then to Tanis in Egypt for safety, before coming to Ireland, via Gibraltar. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Cairn T, was realised to be the tomb of Ollamh Fodhla; which is not a name, but a title; meaning wise sage. The tomb was excavated; the hieroglyphics were traced and drawings made of them. Since that time, with the opening of the tomb to the elements and the corrosive-effects of the pollution in the atmosphere increasing drastically over the last fifty years, some of the hieroglyphics have deteriorated a little, but they are still legible.
Writing in 1873, Eugene Conwell was certain that "some successful student in archaic sculptures would discover the key to unlock the mysteries contained in the 'curious', and at present mystic, characters inscribed upon the stones" -(Discovery of the Tomb of Ollamh Fodhla, 1873).
However, in order to decipher the hieroglyphics, one needs to be an expert on both Scriptural Prophecy and Bible history; not archaic sculpture. So Eugene Conwell was right about whose tomb it is, but wrong about who would have the "Key" to unlock the meaning of the hieroglyphics. Studying the Divinely-inspired autobiographical "Book of Tephi Queen of Tara and Gibraltar", and then cross-referencing her Book with the rest of the Holy Scriptures gives us the "Key"; makes the understanding of the hieroglyphics not only possible, but much easier and corroborates the story written on the stones with perfect accuracy, as only the Divinely-inspired is capable of doing; which in turn proves the authenticity of her Book.
Once the Divine "Key" has been found, it is then possible to unlock the mystery written on the second stone on the left, just inside the entrance to Cairn T, at Loughcrew, which is inscribed with hieroglyphics depicting Jeremiah's journey from Jerusalem, via Tanis in Egypt, to Gibraltar, in a ship of Tyre, with four companions. Then, leaving one of his companions in Gibraltar, he is shown taking another boat, a Greek ship with three companions, to Ireland, where they arrived in 583 B.C.
 

Second stone on the left inside Jeremiah's Tomb

Jeremiah took king Zedekiah of Jerusalem's three daughters, with their three handmaidens and his secretary Baruch, from Judaea to Tanis in Egypt (which is why; in the famous blockbuster film, made by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, called "Raiders of The Lost Ark"; they say that Tanis is the last-known resting-place of The Ark and that is why they start to look for The Lost Ark, in Tanis). After Jeremiah's party arrived in Egypt the pharaoh adopted Zedekiah's daughters as his own daughters and gave them a palace at Tanis, still called today, "Quasr bint el Jehudi" (the palace of the daughter of Judah), where they stayed for some time, until Jeremiah was warned by God that Nebuchadnezzar was going to attack Egypt and that they must leave.
Jeremiah 46:14 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes (Tanis): say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.
44:24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the Word of the "I AM", all Judah that [are] in the land of Egypt:
44:25 Thus saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
44:26 Therefore hear ye the Word of the "I AM", all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by My great name, saith the "I AM", that My name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord "I AM" Liveth.
44:27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that [are] in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
44:28 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah (Judah/Zarah of the "Red Hand" - Genesis 38:28-30* - in Ireland), and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, Mine, or theirs.
44:29 And this [shall be] a sign unto you, saith the "I AM", that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that My words shall surely stand against you for your evil [in worshipping the queen of heaven (verse 25 above)]:
44:30 Thus saith the "I AM"; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah (Teia Tephi's dad) into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
* Genesis 38:28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that [the one] put out [his] hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
38:29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his (twin) brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? Why has thou made [this] breach against thee? Therefore his name was called Pharez (Breach).
38:30 And afterward came out his (twin) brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah (Scarlet).
Judah/Zarah (Scarlet) lost his birthright and went into exile, sojourning through Spain and ending up in Ireland where Eochaidh mac Duach / Dui from the line of Zarah was heremon (Ard ri - high king), when Teia Tephi left Egypt to go to Ireland, where, shortly after her arrival on the 18th, she married Eochaidh at Tara on the 21st of June in 583 B.C.
The uprooting and planting, done by Jeremiah, fulfilled God's prophecy to His Prophet Ezekiel in chapter 21:26 where God promised to: "exalt him that is low (line of Zarah - Eochaidh) and abase him that is high (line of Pharez - Zedekiah)."
The marriage-union of Teia Tephi and Eochaidh mac Duach also ensured the fulfillment of God's Promise to David given in the Bible:-
Psalm 89:36 "His (David's) seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the 'sun' before Me."
Teia Tephi's two sisters loved the fleshpots of Egypt more than they loved God and wanted to remain there, so were slain and did remain, as they desired, in Egypt, where they were buried.

This is shown in the hieroglyphics on the second stone, where, by the side of the Tyrian ship's bow, there are three lines which represent Teia Tephi's two dead sisters and one handmaiden, that were killed and were buried in Egypt before Jeremiah and the rest of his party left.

The Tyrian ship, that is carved on the stone, has five perpendicular lines inscribed in it, symbolising the five passengers:- Jeremiah; Baruch; Teia Tephi and her two handmaidens. Then there is a wavy line leading West, symbolising a sea journey over the waves, to the West, leading to a point where it shows a differently shaped boat with four lines in it and below the boat to the left of it is one line, depicting that one of the passengers died and was left behind. The passenger left behind was Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe (secretary), who died in Gibraltar, aged eighty, and was buried there.

The Journey to Ireland, featuring the change of boat at Gibraltar and the death of Baruch. The differently shaped boat was a Greek ship, shown attached to another wavy line going North, which symbolises another sea journey, to Ireland. Ireland is represented by a spiral. The spiral is a symbol that figures repeatedly in Irish hieroglyphics and sacred tymboglyphics as William Wilde called them.

At the top of the sacred tymboglyphics, on the stone, to the left, there is an eagle with a twig in its beak and Teia Tephi is referred to in the Bible Book of Ezekiel (Ezekiel is the Zulkifl referred to in the Koran) as a tender twig. There is also a Bible reference to God cropping off the tender twig and carrying it to safety and planting it.

Ezekiel 17:4 He (Nebuchadnezzar) cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants (Babylon).
17:22 Thus saith the Lord "I AM"; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set [it]; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one (female - Teia Tephi), and will plant [it (her)] upon an high mountain and eminent (in the British Isles):
17:23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it (at Tara): and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
17:24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the "I AM" have brought down the high tree (Pharez in Jerusalem), have exalted the low tree (Zarah in Ireland), have dried up the green tree (the 2 tribed House of Judah)*, and have made the dry tree (the 10 tribed House of Israel) to flourish: I the "I AM" have spoken and have done [it]. *Ezekiel 21:26 Thus saith the Lord "I AM"; Remove the diadem (sovereignty), and take off the crown: this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that is] low (Line of Zarah), and abase [him that is] high (Line of Pharez).
21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [more], [overturned] UNTIL he come whose Right it is; and I will give it [him - Shiloh (Gen. 49 v 10) Christ].
When God moves His People to safety He does it "on eagles' wings", hence the Eagle with the Tender Twig - Teia Tephi in its mouth, on this stone, in these very sacred tymboglyphics.
Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you "on eagles' wings", and brought you unto Myself.
Below the eagle, is depicted, in astronomical hieroglyphics, a conjunction of the planets Saturn (the protector of Israel, in this instance representing God); Jupiter (the kingly planet, in this instance, representing the line of David) and Mercury (the Messenger, representing, in this instance, God's Messenger Jeremiah) in the Constellation of Virgo (the Virgin, representing, in this instance, Teia Tephi).

The astronomical hieroglyphics depicting the astronomical events surrounding Jeremiah's death.

A computerised planetary model has been used to calculate the astronomical interpretation of the astronomical hieroglyphics on this stone and they give a time of mid-day on the 21st of September 581 B.C. (which was the Autumnal Equinox, the symbolic time of Repose / Dying). The conjunction of Saturn; Jupiter and Mercury in Virgo was only made visible due to the simultaneous Solar Eclipse, also in Virgo.

A conjunction of this significance has happened only once in human history. The planets were mirroring exactly what was happening on Earth, in Royal Meath in Ireland; that is, that God's Messenger Jeremiah; whom He had sent to protect Teia Tephi, the Virgin daughter of Zedekiah, from the line of king David, by bringing her to Ireland for safety; had completed His mission and was dying, peacefully and contented with a job well done.
Cairn T itself was even lined up with the Autumnal Equinox of the 21st of September so that there would be a reminder, every year, of the Prophet Jeremiah and his death. This cosmic reminder was intended to help the people to remember his faith; his teachings; his example and The Eternal Covenant in The Torah, that the Irish people themselves (Danites - the Tuatha de Danaan - the Tribe of Dan, the fifth tribe of Israel, fathered by Jacob/Israel's fifth of his twelve sons called Dan - Genesis 30:6) had made with The Ruler of the Cosmos, at Horeb in Sinai, with Moses. It is also aligned with Teltown, so Jeremiah would, symbolically, watch-over Teia Tephi's Palace.
Also depicted on this same stone, in astronomical hieroglyphics, is a Lunar Eclipse in the Constellation of Taurus, giving a date of Thursday 16th October 583 B.C., when the moon would have looked blood-red, fifteen days before the Battle of Unna, which was fought against Tephi, at Slane and would have been interpreted as an Omen of Death and defeat for the Baal-worshippers who opposed Tephi and The Torah and whose symbol is a bull. Taurus is the sign of the bull.

Left: The astronomical hieroglyphics depicting the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus (the bull/Baal). For efficiency the sun-symbol is used twice, denoted with "pointers" on each of the sun's "rings" indicating which instance of the sun-symbol applies in which hieroglyph. This event was calculated to have occurred at 18.50 on October 16th 583 B.C., which occurred 15 days prior to the Battle of Unna (Destruction).

On the stone to the right of the Phoenician / Tyrian ship is shown a "return sign" that does not reach all the way back to Tanis, because, once the ship had left Gibraltar on its way back to Egypt, it sank with no survivors, so that the crew, who were evil and had planned to kill Jeremiah and his companions, could not tell anyone where they had gone, or even that they had gone from Tanis. That is why the last known resting-place of The "Lost" Ark was Tanis in Egypt, exactly as Indiana Jones, the archaeologist in the film "Raiders of The Lost Ark" says, in the famous film.

The Phoenician ship with incomplete return-journey indicated.

In the entrance to Cairn T there are three carved stones, two on the left; the first stone on the left showing who is buried in the left opening inside and the second on the left showing who is buried in the end opening (Jeremiah) and the stone on the right showing who is buried in the opening on the right-hand side. From the size and shape of Jeremiah's stone in the entrance-passage it would appear that Jeremiah's Stone was originally cut and shaped to fit and seal the inner end of the entrance-passage, blocking the opening leading to the burial chambers.

Inside the cairn, on the very end stone in the farthest opening in the interior of the cairn, there is carved, in the bottom righthand corner, a boat with four passengers, showing that that particular opening is the tomb of Jeremiah because it corresponds with the journey, from Gibraltar to Ireland, shown on the second stone on the left, just inside the entrance.

The end stone in Jeremiah's Tomb, note Jeremiah's ship with 4 passengers (encircled).

There are at least three sets of hieroglyphic symbols that link the end stone (C14) to the Jeremiah Journey-Stone. The first and most obvious being the ship with four passengers.

Journey-Stone.	End Stone (C14).

There are two other sets of hieroglyphics on the end stone (C14) and the Jeremiah Journey-Stone that also link the two stones, as well as the boat with four passengers symbols. The second set of hieroglyphics that link the two stones is the Equinox-symbol on the end stone (C14), that links it with the astronomical-symbols giving the date of Jeremiah's death on the Journey-Stone - the Autumnal Equinox in 581BC.

Equinox-symbol on the end stone designated as stone C 14, inside Cairn T.	The hieroglyphics on the Journey-Stone, depicting the time of Jeremiah's death on the Autumnal Equinox of 581 BC.

The third set of hieroglyphics linking the two stones is the symbol representing one of the attributes of God - El Shaddai - meaning the "Breasted One", in Hebrew, with the Eagle carrying the "Tender Twig" in its beak (symbolising God carrying the "Tender Twig", spoken of in Ezekiel chapter 17 verses 22-23) to plant it/her (Teia Tephi) in the "Height of Israel" (in exile), at Tara, the Capital of Ancient Ireland. This link also gives us the first Hebrew language link with Cairn T.  The breast symbol on stone C14, showing a rib-cage, has a right-arm, which, in this case, would symbolically represent Jeremiah, the Lord's faithful servant, acting as His right-arm.

A breast and right-arm - symbolically the Lord and His right-arm - the right-arm symbolising Jeremiah (21:5).	God carries His people on Eagle's wings and here carries the "Tender Twig" to safety, and plants her in the "Height of Israel".

The title Ollamh Fodhla is both Hebrew and Irish, meaning the Possessor or Revealer of hidden-knowledge, thus making a second Hebrew link with Cairn T. The third Hebrew link is the Hebrew Scriptures of Jeremiah (Ollamh Fodhla) and Ezekiel, who makes reference to the "Tender Twig", in chapter 17. These Hebrew links link Ireland with Israel, and the Irish people of the "lost" tribes of Dan (Tuatha de Danaan) and Judah/Zarah with their Israelite cousins in Jerusalem. From the top of the cairn you can see that the graveyard is laid out roughly in the form of a giant Celtic Cross, with the main cairn, on which you are standing, being the circular centre of the Celtic Cross, and the four smaller cairns around it being the ends and the top and bottom of the cross. The cairn that is the farthest away represents the bottom of the Celtic Cross, having a raised ridge of earth joining it to the centre; symbolically representing the upright of the cross.
Outside of Cairn T there is a large stone, shaped a little like an armchair, which is reputed to have been Jeremiah's Judgement Seat, but more recently was wrongfully named the Witch or Hag's chair, after a fairy-story about a witch flying over the hill, carrying stones in her apron and supposedly having dropped these huge stones, from the air, which fell and are supposed to have magically formed Cairn T.

The Judgement Seat  
There are legends in the Irish history of Ulster, that relate that Jeremiah the Bible Prophet landed at Carrickfergus, before travelling to Royal County Meath. Now that Jeremiah's Tomb has been located and verified; because it is written in stone, in Royal Meath; it is logical to conclude; as Jeremiah was its custodian; that The "lost" Ark of The Covenant with The Torah is also buried in Royal Meath.
Cairn T could; as well as being the tomb of Jeremiah; also be the tomb of Teia Tephi's husband, the well-loved Heremon - Ard ri, Eochaidh Ollothair, who inherited the title Ollamh Fodhla from his mentor/teacher Jeremiah. Eochaidh was later wrongfully deified in Irish mythology as the Daighda. In separate Irish legends Eochaidh is reported to have been buried in at least three different locations, including Cairn T and The Mound of The Hostages at Tara.
Teia Tephi who became queen of Tara and Ireland and was wrongfully deified as Bovinda, lived and had her four children at Teltown, but reigned from Royal Tara and is buried in an undisturbed secret tomb / "mergech" at the Hill of Tara. Tara is a beautiful location and is well worth visiting.
Teia Tephi's firstborn son, called Aedh, died whilst still a teenager and was buried in the eastern side of The Mound of The Hostages* at Tara. Her third child and second son Aengus (In Mac Oc - the Young son) became king after his parents' deaths and built Bru na Boan, the grandest tomb in Europe, for himself to be buried in. His tomb is today called Newgrange.
* 2 Chronicles 25:24.
Jeremiah was known in Ireland as Ollamh Fodhla and the Holy Patriarch of Ireland, who nurtured Ireland under The Torah, which he taught to his student Eochaidh (Tephi's husband) who inherited the title from him after his death. The hill on which Cairn T stands was then named the "Hill of the Nurturer"; according to Eugene Conwell who first discovered and investigated Cairn T in 1863 and recognised it as being the Tomb of Ollamh Fodhla (page 17). Over the centuries and particularly since the coming of christianity the name has been corrupted from Caillech meaning "Nurturer", to Caillighe meaning "Witch" or "Hag" and widely promoted as such in an attempt to replace Jeremiah the "Patriarch" of Ireland and God's Law - The Torah - with "Patrick"; men's laws and a witch/hag. Even so the early Irish Brithem (Brehon) law is still based on The Torah and contains the Iubaile - Jubile. Brith is Hebrew for The Covenant. Brithem Law - The Covenant Law.

The autobiography of queen Teia Tephi, that she wrote in her palace at Teltown, is called the "Book of Tephi Queen of Tara and Gibraltar". It is absolutely full of ancient-historical and prophetical information, including prophecies about the near future. It is a fascinating book written in verse, like the famous Irish Metrical Dindsenchas, and costs only £10 Sterling.
Addition - 2006 Some of today’s archaeologists and university professors, including Irish ones, scoff at the idea that Jeremiah came to Ireland, just as professors often scoff at the truth, because it is contrary to what they have been taught, by other professors. I will therefore quote the following in reply to them:-
From: “The Bible or a University Professor, Which?” by the late Canadian Rev. E. J. Springett (1938) when challenged by a Canadian university of Ontario professor.
“Now, we come down to the story of Jeremiah, and the professor makes this statement: "There is quite as much evidence to prove that he (Jeremiah) migrated to Long Island, Cuba, or Terra del Fuego as there is to substantiate the British-Israel claim that he went to Ireland."
I counter that by saying, vice versa - there is much history and tradition to show that Jeremiah did go to Ireland and there is absolutely nothing to show that he went to Long Island, Cuba, or Terra del Fuego. We have got all the tradition we want. I am only going to mention one. I don't want to take your time up too much.
The Professor says, speaking about the traditions: “Here is a pretty state of things! What has been offered to the public as "Irish History" turns out to be pure fiction and, what is worse, fiction invented and circulated some thirteen hundred years after the events about which it is being used as source-material.”
Now, let us see what he has got. There is a statement in the Dictionary of National Biography, edited by Sidney Lee, of London, in the year 1892, about a gentleman called Matthew Kelly. Matthew Kelly was the author of ‘The Ecclesiastical History of Ireland.’ He was professor of Philosophy and Theology in the Irish College at Paris, and later he was appointed to the Chair of Belles Lettres and French in St. Patrick's College. He later became Professor of Ecclesiastical History, and was made a Doctor of Divinity by the Pope.
He was an enthusiastic student of Irish antiquities, and ecclesiastical history, and he edited John Lynch's ‘Cambrensis Eversus’, and in that ‘Cambrensis Eversus’, Matthew Kelly makes this statement:
First let me explain that in Irish tradition, the Prophet, Jeremiah, is referred to as Ollam Fodhla. In writing about Ollam Fodhla he makes this statement in his translation of ‘Cambrensis Eversus,’ which is an historical record recognized by scholars in academic circles as being authoritative, “That the time of his existence (that is of Ollam Fodhla) had by the most learned and dispassionate scholars been admitted to have been brought as near to the period of Jeremiah, without mention of his name, as if they had aimed to produce such a result.”
Of ‘Cambrensis Eversus’, written by John Lynch, dedicated to Charles II, and translated by Matthew Kelly, he says, “It demonstrates most completely the identification of Ollam Fodhla with the Hebrew Prophet, Jeremiah.”
I am not dealing in full with that section. I am only giving the quotation because we have not the time to deal further with it. I am giving the quotation from an authoritative historical source that cannot be denied, that the Irish tradition was not fiction but that it was substantiated and that it proved unmistakably not to be a fanciful tale, but a dogmatic statement, that Jeremiah did go to Ireland.
So I make this challenge to the professors. Irish tradition testifies that Jeremiah and Zedekiah's daughter (Queen Teia Tephi) went to Ireland. I challenge the professors to prove that they did not.”
Ollamh Fodhla The controversy ends here!
There are many conflicting opinions about who Ollamh Fodhla was and the controversy results from wrong assumptions made because of dates that have been purposely made to seem to be in conflict.
Under the Latin dating-system (A.M.), presumably created by the latin catholic church, there are historical accounts of Ollamh Fodhla existing hundreds of years before the known Biblical dates of Jeremiah the Bible Prophet.
The Latin dating of Ollamh Fodhla is calculated from the Creation which they date as being 5199 B.C. and they state that in 1828 BC (really c. 633 B.C.) Eochaidh ‘Ollothair’ (all-father) mac Duach, the Daighda, became high-king.
The Bible states that The Creation was in 4004 B.C. and that Jeremiah left Jerusalem (with Zedekiah’s daughter - Tea Tephi; the “Stone of Destiny” and The Ark of The Covenant) in c. 588 B.C. The date of Ollamh Fodhla’s death is recorded, cut in stone, inside Cairn T, as being the 21st of Sept. in 581 B.C.
British, Irish and Scottish records of the “Stone of Destiny” locate it at Tara, Ireland in circa 500 B.C. and that Eochaidh, the Daighda, married Teia Tephi.
Ollamh Fodhla is reported to have been a king who ruled Ireland for 40 years under just Laws. Jeremiah brought The Torah (God’s Laws) to Ireland and taught Eochaidh “Ollothair” to administer it from Tara and so Eochaidh inherited the title “Ollamh Fodhla” from Jeremiah, his teacher, upon his death. Their living at the same time and one continuing the other’s work, led to them being confused, as being the same person, in the minds of history students.
The incorrect Latin dating favoured by many catholic historians, some of whom were priests, and by like-minded archaeologists; most of whom like to contradict God and the Holy Bible; has led to this unnecessary confusion and it has been done purposely to hide the Truth that the Irish people are Israelites.
So we are left with the age-old dilemma of: Who do we believe? God or historians; priests; archaeologists and scientists? I recommend you to choose God because, unlike all of them, He is never wrong. Amen - JAH.

The Book of Tephi Unveiled
By James Scott Trimm

The Book of Tephi
Translated by J.A. Goodchild
Forward by James Scott Trimm
Available at http://www.lulu.com/nazarene
It has been over a century since J. A. Goodchild first published his translation of the original Gaeilge of the legend of Queen Tephi as it has been sung by the bards (poet-minstrals) of Ireland for centuries. In the annals and legends of Ireland we find the traditions of the origins of the Irish people and the ancient Irish Kings. This rich history speaks of the early settlement of Ireland by a group called "Tuatha De Danaan" (Tribe of Danaan) . Buried this folk-lore is the tale of a Prophet (Jermemiah?), Princess Tephi and Simon Brug (Baruch?) a Scribe. They Landed in Ireland about the same time that the destruction of Jerusalem took place, bearing with them a great chest and a stone wrapped on a banner. The Princess married the Zarahite King, Eochaidh II. Ard-dath, Ard-righ, or Heremon (horse man of all Ireland), and their son was Irial. This Tephi was the daughter of the king of Jerusalem whom Jeremiah went forth to plant in Ireland after the ROOTING-OUT and DESTRUCTION of Zedekiah, the king of Jerusalem in c. 588 B.C. We find in the official lieage of the Royal House of Britain that the House of Stewart are the decendents of Tea Tephi and her husband Eochaidh the Heremon.

From Tephi and Eochaidh descended all of the Kings of Ireland and Scotland and ultimately Britain. It is for this reason that King David’s harp is the symbol of Ireland. I myself find this history of particular interest, as my great-great-grandmother was Margaret Miranda Stewart of the Stewart Clan from which arises the House of Stewart, the House of the Royal House of Britain, making Tephi and ultiametely King David my own ancestors.

This story begins in the Book of Jeremiah, with the commissioning of Jeremiah:

4 And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying:
5 Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet unto the nations.
6 Then said I, Ah, Adonai YHWH! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
7 But YHWH said unto me: Say not, I am a child. For to whomsoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatsoever I shall command you, you shall speak.
8 Be not afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says YHWH.
9 Then YHWH put forth His hand and touched my mouth. And YHWH said unto me: Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms: to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to overthrow; to build, and to plant.
(Jer. 1:4-10 HRV)

YHWH established Jeremish as a prophet over nations and over kingdoms. On the one hand “to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to overthrow” (Jer. 1:10) and on the other hand “to build and to plant” (Jer. 1:10).

It became Jeremiah’s role to speak out against the wickedness of the priests, kings and people of the House of Judah:.

1 The word which came unto Yirmeyah from YHWH, when N’vukhadnetzar, king of Bavel and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the land of his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Yerushalayim and against all the cities thereof, saying:
2 Thus says YHWH, the Elohim of Yisra’el: Go and speak to Tzidkiyah, king of Y’hudah, and tell him: Thus says YHWH: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Bavel, and he shall burn it with fire.
3 And you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand. And your eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Bavel, and he shall speak with you, mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Bavel.
4 Yet hear the word of YHWH, O Tzidkiyah king of Y’hudah. Thus says YHWH concerning you: You shall not die by the sword.
5 You shall die in peace, and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings that were before you, so shall they make a burning for you. And they shall lament you, Ah master, For I have spoken the word, says YHWH.
(Jer. 34:1-5 HRV)

2 Thus says YHWH: He that remains in this city shall die: by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. But he that goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall
be unto him for a prey, and he shall live.
3 Thus says YHWH: This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Bavel, and he shall take it.
(Jer. 38:2-3 HRV)

16 Go and speak to a slave melech, the Ethiopian, saying, Thus says YHWH Tzva’ot, the Elohim of Yisra’el: Behold, I will bring My words upon this city for evil, and not for
good, and they shall be accomplished before you in that day.
17 But I will deliver you in that day, says YHWH: and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
18 For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword: but your life shall be for a prey unto you, because you have put your trust in Me, says YHWH.
(Jer. 39:16-18 HRV)

So what happened to Jeremiah when Jerusalem fell? The Scripture tells us:

11 Now N’vukhadnetzar king of Bavel, gave charge concerning Yirmeyah to N’vuzar’adan the captain of the guard, saying,
12 Take him and look well to him, and do him no harm, but do unto him even as he shall say unto you.
13 So N’vuzar’adan, the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban Rab-saris, and Nergal-Sar’etzer Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Bavel,
14 They sent and took Yirmeyah out of the court of the guard, and committed him unto G’dalyah, the son of Achikam, the son of Shafan: that he should carry him home, so he dwelt among the people.
(Jer. 39:11-14 HRV)

2 And the captain of the guard took Yirmeyah, and said unto him, YHWH your Elohim pronounced this evil upon this place,
3 And YHWH has brought it and done according as He spoke. Because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not hearkened to His voice, therefore this thing is come upon
you.
4 And now behold, I loose you this day from the chains which are upon your hand. If it seem good unto you to come with me into Bavel, come, and I will look well unto you. But if it seem ill unto you to come with me into Bavel, forbear. Behold, all the land is
before you; where it seems good and right unto you to go, there go--
5 Yet he would not go back. Go back then to G’dalyah, the son of Achikam the son of Shafan, whom the king of Bavel has made governor over the cities of Y’hudah: and dwell
with him among the people, or go wheresoever it seems right unto you to go. So the captain of the guard gave him an allowance and a present, and let him go.
6 Then went Yirmeyah unto G’dalyah, the son of Achikam to Mitzpah, and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
(Jer. 40:2-6 HRV)

More details of Jeremiah’s escape from the destruction of Babylon can be found in 2Maccabees:

1 It is also found in the records, that Jeremy the prophet commanded them that were carried away to take of the fire, as it hath been signified:
2 And how that the prophet, having given them the law, charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of silver and gold, with their ornaments.
3 And with other such speeches exhorted he them, that the law should not depart from their hearts.
4 It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, being warned of God, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of God.
5 And when Jeremy came thither, he found an hollow cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door .
6 And some of those that followed him came to mark the way, but they could not find it.
7 Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, saying, As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that God gather his people again together, and receive them unto mercy.
8 Then shall the Lord shew them these things, and the glory of the Lord shall appear, and the cloud also, as it was shewed under Moses, and as when Solomon desired that the place might be honourably sanctified.
(2Maccabees 2:1-8 KJV)

Zedekiah’s sons were all killed, and Zedekiah himself died in Babylon:

9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Bavel, to Rivlah in the land of Hamat, and he gave judgment upon him.
10 And the king of Bavel slew the sons of Tzidkiyah before his eyes; he slew also all the princes of Y’hudah, in Rivlah.
11 And he put out the eyes of Tzidkiyah: and the king of Bavel bound him in fetters, and carried him to Bavel, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
(Jer. 52:9-11 HRV)

Now we have seen how Jeremiah had been commissioned “to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to overthrow” (Jer. 1:10) but how did he also go on “to build and to plant” (Jer. 1:10).

5 But Yochanan, the son of Kareach and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Y’hudah, that were returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to sojourn in the land of Y’hudah:
6 The men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person that N’vuzar’adan, the captain of the guard had left with G’dalyah, the son of Achikam, the son of Shafan, and Yirmeyah the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriyah.
7 And they came into the land of Egypt, for they hearkened not to the voice of YHWH , and they came even to Tahpanhes.
(Jer. 43:5-7 HRV)

Notice that while the king’s sons were all killed. Now Jeremiah had also prophecied:

David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne
of the House of Israel
(Jer. 33:17 HRV)

David’s royal lineage was to be preserved through his daughters. Notice that Jeremiah does not say “House of Judah” but “House of Israel”. YHWH did not make a mistake here, but how was this prophecy fulfilled?

To find the answer let us turn to another prophecy addressed to the House of Israel, this time in the Book of Ezekiel:

1 And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying:
2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the House of Yisra’el,
3 And say, Thus says the Adonai YHWH: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colors came unto the L’vanon, and took the top of the cedar;
4 He cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil: he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a slip.
6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose tendrils might turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him: so it became a vine and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers. And behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it.
8 It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit--that it might be a stately vine.
9 Say you, Thus says the Adonai YHWH: Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up the roots thereof and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither--yes, wither in all its sprouting leaves? Neither shall great power or much people be at hand, when it is plucked up by the roots thereof.
10 Yes behold, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it? In the beds where it grew, it shall wither.
11 Moreover the word of YHWH came unto me, saying:
12 Say now to the rebellious house: Know you not what these things mean? Tell them: Behold, the king of Bavel came to Yerushalayim, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Bavel.
13 And he took of the seed royal and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and the mighty of the land he took away--
14 That his, might be a lowly kingdom: that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant, it might stand.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper, shall he escape that does such things; shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
16 As I live, says the Adonai YHWH: Surely in the place where the king dwells, that made him king, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke, even with him; in the midst of Bavel, he shall die.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company, succor him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many souls,
18 Seeing he has despised the oath, by breaking the covenant: when behold, he had given his hand, and has done all these things, he shall not escape.
19 Therefore thus says the Adonai YHWH: As I live, surely My oath that he has despised, and My covenant that he has broken--I will even bring it upon his own head.
20 And I will spread My net upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare. And I will bring him to Bavel, and will plead with him there, for his treachery that he has committed against Me.
21 And all his mighty men in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and you shall know that I YHWH have spoken it.
22 Thus says the Adonai YHWH: Moreover I will take, even I, of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs, a tender one: and I will plant it upon a high mountain, and eminent.
23 In the mountain of the height of Yisra’el will I plant it, and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a stately cedar. And under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing, in the shadow of the branches thereof, shall they dwell.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know, that I YHWH have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I YHWH have spoken, and have done it.
(Ezekiel 17 HRV)

The Book of Tephi describes in great detail this journey Jeremiah took with one of the daughters of Zedekia, Teia Tephi. Also on the voyage Jeremiah brought with him the Lia Fail (Stone of Destiny) and The Ark of The Covenant then on to Gibraltar. There she is proclaimed queen of the Gadite Israelites who lived there. They continued to Breogan in Spain, Cornwall and eventually landed at Howth, near Dublin, in Ireland on the 18th. of June 583 B.C.. The Book of Tephi also describe many of the significant events which occurred at that time in history and are related to her journey from Jerusalem to Ireland. Finally the book contains many prophecies concerning major events which have occurred in 2,500 years since Tephi’s time.

In closing, while the Book of Tephi is not canonicle, I have no hesitation in presenting this tale long sung by the Irish bards as an account of great antiquity and interest, and a book that is entitled to great circulation among those who take pleasure in studying the Word of YHWH.

One final note: The Book of Tephi is presented here just as it was translated by J. A. Goodchild in 1897. Sacred Names have not been inserted, as doing so would in places disrupt the poetry and Rhyme schemes laid out by Goodchild.

This ministry is reaching Rabbinic Jews, Christians and even Muslims with this message of Torah and Messiah.

JUDAH'S SCEPTRE AND JOSEPH'S BIRTHRIGHT
By J. H. ALLEN
Part Three

CHAPTER III

THE OTHER OVERTURNS

In connection with the prophecies concerning the removal of the crown of David from the head of Zede­kiah to the head of a prince who belonged to the hith­erto non-ruling branch of the royal family of Israel's race, the Lord said, "I will overturn, overturn, over­turn it; and it shall be no more (moved or overturned) until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him." These words teach that, after the removal of David's crown from the head of the then ruling prince, there were to be three overturns -- no more, no less -- and that after the third overturn the crown must rest, or stay in the place where it is left by the third over­turn, until that person comes to whom it belongs by right. Then at least one more overturn will be necessary, for that seat of power must yet go back to the city of David.

The first of these overturns we have already traced from Palestine to the islands of the north-west, which are in the "great waters." We now propose to show that the other two of these predicted overturns took place in those self-same islands, or, in other words, that these three overturns landed the sceptre and throne al­ternately in Ireland, Scotland and England; and that, even after the third overturn, the kingdom is still, as the word of God declares, "in the isles afar off," and in the sea."

It will be impossible to follow the history of the overturns of this kingdom, unless we again take up the thread of history as it concerns the pillar stone, upon which the kings of Israel were crowned; for, strange as it may seem to some people, both ancient and modern history come honestly to the rescue of prophecy, and follow that stone through each of these overturns.

We have already seen, according to Josephus, that, prior to the return of the Jews from Babylon, Ezra (Esdras) received a letter from Xerxes, which was so full of offered favors, love, and fraternal greetings, that he sent a copy of it to the ten tribes in Media-Persia, and asked them to return with the Jews to Jeru­salem. But the ten tribes refused this offer, and Jo­sephus tells us that the entire body of Israel remained in that country. On the other hand, Ezra (Esdras), who was in a position to know more about them, says that they decided not to return, and also that they took counsel among themselves, and resolved that they would go further away into an unknown country. In ac­complishing this, Esdras says, "They entered into Euphrates by the narrow passages of the river. For the Most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the waters till they were passed Over. For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half." This is in harmony with the fol­lowing: "The breaker is come up before them; they have broken up, and have passed through the gate and are gone out of it, and their king shall pass before them; and the Lord on the head of them," (Micah 2:13).

The clause, "They have passed through the gate," and the one by Ezra, "They have entered into the nar­row passages," are parallel, and refer to the same cir­cumstance and place. This gate, or narrow passage, which is up among the headwaters of the Euphrates, is now called the Caucasian Pass, or the Pass of Da­riel. As Israel goes out through this pass, Micah says that the Lord is on the head of them, but it is left for Ezra to say that the Lord gave Israel evidence of his presence, because he gave them signs and held still the floods, as he did at Jordan, until they passed over.

But while the Lord is with Israel, it is said of their king that he shall pass before, or precede them to that unknown country to which they are going. It is for this reason that Hosea says, "The children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a sacrifice, and without an image," or, as the marginal reading gives it, "without a standing pillar." Young, in his Exhaustive Concordance, gives among other defi­nitions of the original Hebrew word, both that of memorial stone and pillar. Other scholarly men who have investigated this text, in connection with its con­text, even give us pillar-rock and pillar-stone as the correct rendering.

All this, supplemented by the fact that the word of God associates the absent king with the absent pillar­stone, justifies our conclusion, that the pillar in ques­tion is the Bcthel pillar stone which was used as a coronation stone, consequently it was left with the royal family which ruled over the Jews until the over­throw of Zedekiah.

We must also remember that Jeremiah and his little remnant were taken, against their will, and against the direct command of God, to Egypt, and that while there they dwelt in Taphanhes. Morton W. Spencer says, "It is an undeniable historical fact that about 580 B. C. (i.e., the very time of the captivity of the Jews in Babylon), that a princess from the East did arrive in the north of Ireland. Her name was Tephi, a pet name like "Violet," denoting beauty, fragrance. Tea Tephi was her full name, found in Hebrew. The Tea, a little one, and Tephi answering to a surname. Taph, the root word, is used in many scriptures (Gen. 34:29, and Deut. 1:39) (Vide Concordance). Her names were interchangeably used as Tea, Taffe, Taffes, Tephi, the Eastern Princess, the Daughter of Pharaoh, and Tea Tephi; either of these serve to identify her as "The King's Daughter." In Egypt she was offered protection, and from her the city of Taphanhes or Dahpne was named, doubtless, and to this day we are shown the site of "The Palace of the Jew's Daughter," by the Arabs. The fact that she fled the country is still preserved in her name, Tarah, meaning one ban­ished or flight.

The name of Pharaoh is neither a given nor a sur­name, but it is the Egyptian name for king or mon­arch. The very fact that Irish historians called Tea Tephi "The Daughter of Pharaoh" is proof that they knew her as "The King's Daughter." Also this name, "The King's Daughter," is the only one used in the Bible account of the first overturn to designate that daughter of Zedekiah who succeeded him to the inher­itance of David's throne, excepting, of course, that metaphorical name, "Tender twig," of Ezekiel's rid­dle. Since the name Tea means "little one," and since a tender twig is also a little one, it certainly takes no great stretch of faith to believe that these two names belong to one and the same person. Especially is this the case when we consider that in the Tea Tephi of Irish history we have a king's daughter, with a Hebrew name, who not only came from the East, but also from Egypt, and who is the daughter of a Jew.

But there are still other facts connected with the arrival of this princess in Ireland, which, as we con­sider them, will strengthen our faith more and more. Tea Tephi was accompanied by an aged guardian, who was called Ollam Folla, more Hebrew words which mean revealer, or prophet. The prophet was accom­panied by a man who was his scribe, whom the chron­icles of Ireland called Brug, or Bruch. Baruch was Jeremiah's scribe while they were in Judea; he went with the little remnant to Egypt, and escaped when the rest did; for his life, like the lives of the rest of his party, was to be preserved in all places whither he should go. This little company disappeared from Egypt, but surely they reappeared in Ireland, for, mar­vel of marvels! they brought with them a pillar-stone, which has ever since been used as the coronation stone of the kingdom.

Later, Tea (sometimes spelled Teah) Tephi herself was Crowned upon this pillar-stone, and the name of Erin's capital was changed from Cathair Crofin to Tara, which is also another Hebrew word. But at this juncture history comes to our help, and with unques­tioned authority declares that, from that time until the present, every king and queen who has reigned in Ire­land, Scotland or England has been crowned upon that self-same pillar or coronation stone. Queen Victoria herself was twice crowned upon that stone, the first time as Queen of England, and the second time as Empress of India.

On the occasion of Queen Victoria's coronation, June 28th, 1837, an article appeared in the London Sun, which gives a description of the coronation chair and the coronation stone, as follows: "This chair, com­monly called St. Edward's chair, is an ancient seat of solid hardwood, with back and sides of the same, vari­ously painted, in which the kings of Scotland were in former periods constantly crowned, but, having been brought out of the kingdom by Edward I, in the year 1296, after he had totally overcome John Baliol, king of Scots, it has ever since remained in the Abbey of Westminster, and has been the chair in which the suc­ceeding kings and queens of this realm have been inaugurated. It is in height six feet and seven inches, in breadth at the bottom thirty-eight inches, and in depth twenty-four inches; from the seat to the bottom is twenty-five inches; the breadth of the seat within the sides is twenty-eight inches, and the depth eighteen inches. At nine inches from the ground is a board, supported at the four corners by as many lions. Be­tween the seat and this board is enclosed a stone, com­monly called Jacob's, or the fatal Marble, Stone, which is an oblong of about twenty-two inches in length, thir­teen inches broad and eleven inches deep; of a steel color, mixed with some veins of red. History relates that it is the stone whereon the patriarch Jacob laid his head in the plains of Luz." This, as you see, was published more than sixty years ago, before it was thought possible that the Anglo-Saxons were the de­scendants of Joseph, the inheritor of the birthright blessing which God gave to his fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

This article further says that "this stone was con­veyed into Ireland by way of Spain about 700 years be­fore Christ. From there it was taken into Scotland by King Fergus, about 370 years later; and n the year 350 B. C., it was placed in the abbey of Scone, by King Kenneth, who caused a prophetical verse to be engraved upon it, of which the following is a transla­tion: "'Should fate not fail, where'er this stone is found, The Scots shall monarch of that realm be crowned."

"This antique regal chair, having (together with the golden sceptre and crown of Scotland) been solemnly offered by King Edward I to St. Edward the Con­fessor, in the year 1297 (from whence it derives the appellation of St. Edward's chair), has ever since been kept in the chapel called by his name; with a tablet affixed to it, whereon several Latin verses are written, in old English characters. . . . The stone main­tains its usual place under the seat of the chair."

Prior to the time that King Kenneth had his verse engraved on that Coronation Stone, there was a prophetic verse which had attached itself to it, which Sir Walter Scott has rendered, one word excepted, as follows:

"Unless the fates are faithless grown,
And prophet's voice be vain,
Where'er is found this sacred stone
The Wanderers' Race shall reign."

Think of it! For more than seven hundred years this stone has been in Westminster Abbey. Dean Stanley, in his "Memorials of Westminster Abbey," says: "The chief object of attraction, to this day, to the innumer­able visitors to the Abbey, is probably that ancient Irish monument of the empire known as the Coronation Stone." He calls it a "Precious Relic," and says that King Edward I. said that "It is the one primeval mon­ument which binds together the whole empire." The Dean further adds: "The iron rings, the battered sur­face, the crack, which has all but rent its solid mass asunder, bear witness to its long migrations. It is thus embedded in the heart of the English monarchy, an element of poetic, patriarchal, heathen times, which like Araunah's threshing floor in the midst of the temple of Solomon carries back our thoughts to races and customs now almost extinct, a link which unites the throne of England with the traditions of Tara and lona, and connects the charm of our complex civilization with the favors of Mother Earth, the stocks and stones of savage nature. Faithful or foolish, the sentiment of the nation has, through three hundred gen­erations of living men, made it felt that Jacob's Pillar Stone was a thing worth dying for in battle. By the treaty of Northampton in 1328, the emeralds, pearls, and rubies were carried off without a murmur. But the Ragged Old Stone -- Oh no ! -- the Londoners would have died for that! The stone of Scone, on which it was the custom for the kings of Scotland to be set at their coronation, the Londoners would on no account suffer to be sent away."

Dr. Poole says: "This stone is a dull, reddish or purplish sandstone, with a few small embedded peb­bles; one of these is quartz and two others of a dark material. The rock is calcareous and is of that kind which masons call freestone. Chisel marks are visible on one or more of its sides." There is no rock of this kind in England, Ireland or Scotland. But the Rev. Canon Tristram says that there is a stratum of sand­stone near the Dead Sea just like this stone, which by the English people is called Jacob's Pillow Stone.

This stone is called by the Irish and by the Scotch "Lia Fail" and "The Stone of Destiny." In Irish Lia is stone and Fail is fate, hence, the stone of fate, or the stone of destiny. But it is that only because it is Jacob's Pillow-Pillar Stone. This is the reason that Tea Tephi was called "The Daughter of God's House." (Log, or Lug, Celtic for God, and Aidh, a house; hence the word Lughaidh.) Amergin, chief bard to King Dermod, monarch of Ireland in the sixth cen­tury, in the "Notes of the Annals of the Four Masters," refers to Tea Tephi as follows:

"A rampart was raised around her house,
For Teah, the daughter of Lughaidh,
She was buried outside in her mound,
And from her it was named Tea-mur."

The parentage here assigned to Tea Tephi could have been for no other reason than that she was the daughter of "God's house," to the people to whom she brought "God's house," the Stone, which was their Shepherd-stone, i.e., Bethel. Morton W. Spencer says that Lia (sometimes spelled Leag) is an Irish word and means "a stone," but that Phail is Hebrew, and is itself a Scripture word, and is of the deepest import, for it means wonderful, and is so translated in Isa. 9:6. This we have verified, and it clinches our thought that the Bethel stone, or Lia Fail, the Stone Wonderful, is indeed a symbol of that Divine Rock, that Wonderful One, THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION.

The fact that there are iron rings in the stone which is in the Coronation Chair, and that they are worn, is remarkable. The question arises, How and when were they worn? It could not have been in the royal halls of Tara, or in the abbey of Scone, nor since it came to Westminster, nor in the temple of Jerusalem; but surely it could have been when, for forty years, Israel journeyed through the wilderness, and had both literal and spiritual drink from their Shepherd rocks that fol­lowed them.

The modern classic Hebrew uses little dots like pe­riods to represent the vowel sounds. These dots are placed in various positions about the alphabetical char­acters which represent the consonant sounds. But it is a well-known fact that in ancient Hebrew writings, both secular and sacred, there are no characters, not even the little dots, to represent the vowel sounds. Hence, the vowels are absolutely unwritten, and the consonants of a word are so arranged that the speaker is compelled to give the vowel sound while pronouncing the consonants. Take, for instance, the word Bethel. There, in the original, we have only that which is equivalent to the English B-th-l. At Bethel, as we have already shown, when Jacob set up the Bethel stone, he used it for an altar, at which he worshipped, and upon which he made his vow. Prof. Totten, of New Haven, says: "The altars of ancient Ireland were called Botal or Bothal, meaning the house of God." That is, it is the Hebrew word Bethel, and has the same meaning.

Thus the Bethel stone again proves itself to be a per­fect type of Christ, for although Christ is many other things, he is also the Christian's altar. Proof: Jesus said to the Pharisees: "Whether is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?" In this we see that the altar is that which sanctifies. Elsewhere we are told that "Jesus Christ, of God, is made unto us sanctifica­tion." Since it is the altar which does the sanctifying, then he who sanctifies is the altar. Thus, it is written, "We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. . . . Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people (i.e., do that which the altar does) with his own blood, suffered without the gate."

Yes, the Altar-Shepherd was smitten, and concern­ing that other rock, Dean Stanley speaks of the crack, which, he says, "has all but rent its solid mass asun­der." Could it be possible that rent was made when and because Moses smote the rock when he was told to speak to it? But, be this as it may, history has made it impossible to escape the fact that, like a true shepherd, this stone has followed the fortunes and misfortunes of its people for two thousand five hundred years.

Joshua, at one time, took a stone, set it up, and said unto all Israel. "Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you lest ye deny your God." Thus we see that a stone may be a witness; and the historians of Great Britain, either wittingly or unwittingly, have made Lia Fail (sometimes spelled Leag Phail) a witness to an unbroken line of sovereigns, for it has been the throne upon which their rulers have been consecutively crowned, ever since it was landed in Ireland.

Further, there have been just three overturns of this kingdom. The first, as we have shown, was from Palestine to Tara, in the plantation of Ulster, through Tea Tephi, Jeremiah's ward, the "King's Daughter." The second overturn was from Ireland to Scotland, through Fergus, who sent for Lia Fail, the Stone of Destiny, and had it brought from Tara to lona, where he was crowned. The third OVERTURN was from Scot­land to England. At this time the throne was brought from Scotland and placed in Westminster Abbey, where it rests under the protection of the greatest monarchy on earth.

Hence, if this Coronation Stone which is in West­minster, which the English call Jacob's Pillow, and which their Scotch and Irish ancestors called "God's house," "B-th-l," "The Stone of Destiny," and "Leag Phail," "The Stone Wonderful," -- we say, if this stone is indeed what these names and what its history declare it to be, then it is indeed the veritable throne of Israel, upon which the sons of David were formally crowned in the Temple of God at Jerusalem. Consequently, in this also, God has kept faith with David, and preserved his throne through all generations that are past.

This makes us feel like singing the Doxology, because it is just as it should be. When the Bethel stone was in Bethel place, it was "God's house," in God's house; when it was in the Temple, it was still God's house, in God's house; when, as one of the jewels of empire, it was taken by Teah, the "tender twig," and placed in the heights of Israel in the islands of the sea, it was still God's house, in God's house. The de­scendants of Teah and Herremon are the custodians of that rock today, and their subjects possess all the distinguishing marks whereby prophecy declares the lost house of God shall finally be recognized and found. And in the midst of this great national or racial house there is a house of God, a "spiritual house," which is by some called "Spiritual Israel," and which is, like lit­eral Israel was, FOUNDED ON A ROCK.

THE GRAFTING OF THE WILD OLIVE BRANCHES AND THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL - JACOB 5

Well, if you have followed the blog for long, you will know that I love documenting the doings of the God of Israel when it comes to His children.

Even if you are the most calloused of skeptics, you will have to concede the miraculous doings and careful guidings of this people of Abraham.  If you understand the dynamics and flow of peoples around this globe, you will know that the peoples have been carefully hidden away in faraway places (in terms of ancient geography) such as Ireland, Iceland, Scotland, N/S America, Japan and the islands of the Pacific.

In order to keep the rot from spreading from the infected roots, trunk and branches, God has separated His Chosen from among the rest to keep them as pure as is possible.  Sometimes, He simply has taken an unexpected turn in grafting where no one expected.  This is a pattern.

As my family/extended family situation has languished into various states of decay and spiritual rot - I have also sought to do the same in order to preserve a remnant for myself and my wife.  We have one perfect shot in our child that died of SIDS - and I look forward to raising him in the simplicity of Millennial life where there is no sin, disease or death and where NO "sins of the fathers" are passed along to corrupt his life experience.

Please read Jacob 5 from the Book of Mormon for further light and knowledge as to the workings of God with His children.  We read this the other night and I asked my kids, "What is the most important thing God can do - what is the number one priority??"  The correct answer is Moses 1:39 (basically, to save as many of His children as He can, while operating within the confines of agency, to which He is subject every bit as much as you or I).

In order to do this, He will mix, move, dung, prune and utterly destroy portions and likely most all of His vinyard in order to accomplish it.  My mother was a hobbyist grafter and orchardist and I was her "hired hand" when it came to saving trees that were infected or succombing to disease.  I say likely all - because He will start the Millennium with a nearly clean slate if He has to.  This in a state where only a "remnant" remain to carry the work forward with the righteous Lamanites, the Ten Tribes and other select groupings who were carried away like those who followed Enoch and Melchizedek (Shem) to the higher order.

So, if you look at history whether it is the Nephites, Mulekites, the Jews of Bombay (Nogauker), the Samurai of Japan and SO MANY other leadings and wanderings of the House of Israel - you will know that God has carefully led groups of people hither and thither to save as many of them as He can and as they will.  It is literally a shell game, fighting against time, the natural man and the cunning wiles of the adversary who seeks our destruction.

Here is another instance of a group that was led out:

It has been over a century since J. A. Goodchild first published his translation of the original Gaeilge of the legend of Queen Tephi as it has been sung by the bards (poet-minstrals) of Ireland for centuries. In the annals and legends of Ireland we find the traditions of the origins of the Irish people and the ancient Irish Kings. This rich history speaks of the early settlement of Ireland by a group called "Tuatha De Danaan" (Tribe of Danaan) . Buried this folk-lore is the tale of a Prophet (Jermemiah?), Princess Tephi and Simon Brug (Baruch?) a Scribe. They Landed in Ireland about the same time that the destruction of Jerusalem took place, bearing with them a great chest and a stone wrapped on a banner. The Princess married the Zarahite King, Eochaidh II. Ard-dath, Ard-righ, or Heremon (horse man of all Ireland), and their son was Irial. This Tephi was the daughter of the king of Jerusalem whom Jeremiah went forth to plant in Ireland after the ROOTING-OUT and DESTRUCTION of Zedekiah, the king of Jerusalem in c. 588 B.C. We find in the official lieage of the Royal House of Britain that the House of Stewart are the decendents of Tea Tephi and her husband Eochaidh the Heremon.

From Tephi and Eochaidh descended all of the Kings of Ireland and Scotland and ultimately Britain. It is for this reason that King David’s harp is the symbol of Ireland. I myself find this history of particular interest, as my great-great-grandmother was Margaret Miranda Stewart of the Stewart Clan from which arises the House of Stewart, the House of the Royal House of Britain, making Tephi and ultiametely King David my own ancestors.

This story begins in the Book of Jeremiah, with the commissioning of Jeremiah:
4 And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying: 5 Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet unto the nations. 6 Then said I, Ah, Adonai YHWH! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child. 7 But YHWH said unto me: Say not, I am a child. For to whomsoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatsoever I shall command you, you shall speak. 8 Be not afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says YHWH. 9 Then YHWH put forth His hand and touched my mouth. And YHWH said unto me: Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms: to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to overthrow; to build, and to plant. (Jer. 1:4-10 HRV)
YHWH established Jeremish as a prophet over nations and over kingdoms. On the one hand “to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to overthrow” (Jer. 1:10) and on the other hand “to build and to plant” (Jer. 1:10).

It became Jeremiah’s role to speak out against the wickedness of the priests, kings and people of the House of Judah:.

1 The word which came unto Yirmeyah from YHWH, when N’vukhadnetzar, king of Bavel and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the land of his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Yerushalayim and against all the cities thereof, saying: 2 Thus says YHWH, the Elohim of Yisra’el: Go and speak to Tzidkiyah, king of Y’hudah, and tell him: Thus says YHWH: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Bavel, and he shall burn it with fire.
3 And you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand. And your eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Bavel, and he shall speak with you, mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Bavel. 4 Yet hear the word of YHWH, O Tzidkiyah king of Y’hudah. Thus says YHWH concerning you: You shall not die by the sword. 5 You shall die in peace, and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings that were before you, so shall they make a burning for you. And they shall lament you, Ah master, For I have spoken the word, says YHWH. (Jer. 34:1-5 HRV)
2 Thus says YHWH: He that remains in this city shall die: by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. But he that goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey, and he shall live. 3 Thus says YHWH: This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Bavel, and he shall take it. (Jer. 38:2-3 HRV)
16 Go and speak to a slave melech, the Ethiopian, saying, Thus says YHWH Tzva’ot, the Elohim of Yisra’el: Behold, I will bring My words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall be accomplished before you in that day. 17 But I will deliver you in that day, says YHWH: and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. 18 For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword: but your life shall be for a prey unto you, because you have put your trust in Me, says YHWH. (Jer. 39:16-18 HRV)
So what happened to Jeremiah when Jerusalem fell? The Scripture tells us:
11 Now N’vukhadnetzar king of Bavel, gave charge concerning Yirmeyah to N’vuzar’adan the captain of the guard, saying, 12 Take him and look well to him, and do him no harm, but do unto him even as he shall say unto you. 13 So N’vuzar’adan, the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban Rab-saris, and Nergal-Sar’etzer Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Bavel, 14 They sent and took Yirmeyah out of the court of the guard, and committed him unto G’dalyah, the son of Achikam, the son of Shafan: that he should carry him home, so he dwelt among the people. (Jer. 39:11-14 HRV)
2 And the captain of the guard took Yirmeyah, and said unto him, YHWH your Elohim pronounced this evil upon this place, 3 And YHWH has brought it and done according as He spoke. Because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not hearkened to His voice, therefore this thing is come upon you. 4 And now behold, I loose you this day from the chains which are upon your hand. If it seem good unto you to come with me into Bavel, come, and I will look well unto you. But if it seem ill unto you to come with me into Bavel, forbear. Behold, all the land is before you; where it seems good and right unto you to go, there go-- 5 Yet he would not go back. Go back then to G’dalyah, the son of Achikam the son of Shafan, whom the king of Bavel has made governor over the cities of Y’hudah: and dwell with him among the people, or go wheresoever it seems right unto you to go. So the captain of the guard gave him an allowance and a present, and let him go. 6 Then went Yirmeyah unto G’dalyah, the son of Achikam to Mitzpah, and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land. (Jer. 40:2-6 HRV)
More details of Jeremiah’s escape from the destruction of Babylon can be found in 2Maccabees:
1 It is also found in the records, that Jeremy the prophet commanded them that were carried away to take of the fire, as it hath been signified: 2 And how that the prophet, having given them the law, charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of silver and gold, with their ornaments. 3 And with other such speeches exhorted he them, that the law should not depart from their hearts. 4 It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, being warned of God, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of God. 5 And when Jeremy came thither, he found an hollow cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door . 6 And some of those that followed him came to mark the way, but they could not find it. 7 Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, saying, As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that God gather his people again together, and receive them unto mercy. 8 Then shall the Lord shew them these things, and the glory of the Lord shall appear, and the cloud also, as it was shewed under Moses, and as when Solomon desired that the place might be honourably sanctified. (2Maccabees 2:1-8 KJV)
Zedekiah’s sons were all killed, and Zedekiah himself died in Babylon:
9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Bavel, to Rivlah in the land of Hamat, and he gave judgment upon him. 10 And the king of Bavel slew the sons of Tzidkiyah before his eyes; he slew also all the princes of Y’hudah, in Rivlah. 11 And he put out the eyes of Tzidkiyah: and the king of Bavel bound him in fetters, and carried him to Bavel, and put him in prison till the day of his death. (Jer. 52:9-11 HRV)
Now we have seen how Jeremiah had been commissioned “to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to overthrow” (Jer. 1:10) but how did he also go on “to build and to plant” (Jer. 1:10).
5 But Yochanan, the son of Kareach and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Y’hudah, that were returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to sojourn in the land of Y’hudah: 6 The men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person that N’vuzar’adan, the captain of the guard had left with G’dalyah, the son of Achikam, the son of Shafan, and Yirmeyah the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriyah. 7 And they came into the land of Egypt, for they hearkened not to the voice of YHWH , and they came even to Tahpanhes. (Jer. 43:5-7 HRV)
Notice that while the king’s sons were all killed. Now Jeremiah had also prophecied:
David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne
of the House of Israel (Jer. 33:17 HRV)
David’s royal lineage was to be preserved through his daughters. Notice that Jeremiah does not say “House of Judah” but “House of Israel”. YHWH did not make a mistake here, but how was this prophecy fulfilled?

To find the answer let us turn to another prophecy addressed to the House of Israel, this time in the Book of Ezekiel:
1 And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying: 2 Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the House of Yisra’el,
3 And say, Thus says the Adonai YHWH: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colors came unto the L’vanon, and took the top of the cedar; 4 He cropped off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants. 5 He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil: he placed it beside many waters; he set it as a slip. 6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose tendrils might turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him: so it became a vine and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. 7 There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers. And behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, that he might water it. 8 It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit--that it might be a stately vine. 9 Say you, Thus says the Adonai YHWH: Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up the roots thereof and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither--yes, wither in all its sprouting leaves? Neither shall great power or much people be at hand, when it is plucked up by the roots thereof. 10 Yes behold, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it? In the beds where it grew, it shall wither. 11 Moreover the word of YHWH came unto me, saying: 12 Say now to the rebellious house: Know you not what these things mean? Tell them: Behold, the king of Bavel came to Yerushalayim, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to him to Bavel. 13 And he took of the seed royal and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and the mighty of the land he took away-- 14 That his, might be a lowly kingdom: that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant, it might stand. 15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper, shall he escape that does such things; shall he break the covenant, and yet escape? 16 As I live, says the Adonai YHWH: Surely in the place where the king dwells, that made him king, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke, even with him; in the midst of Bavel, he shall die. 17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company, succor him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many souls, 18 Seeing he has despised the oath, by breaking the covenant: when behold, he had given his hand, and has done all these things, he shall not escape. 19 Therefore thus says the Adonai YHWH: As I live, surely My oath that he has despised, and My covenant that he has broken--I will even bring it upon his own head. 20 And I will spread My net upon him, and he shall be taken in My snare. And I will bring him to Bavel, and will plead with him there, for his treachery that he has committed against Me. 21 And all his mighty men in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and you shall know that I YHWH have spoken it. 22 Thus says the Adonai YHWH: Moreover I will take, even I, of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs, a tender one: and I will plant it upon a high mountain, and eminent. 23 In the mountain of the height of Yisra’el will I plant it, and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a stately cedar. And under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing, in the shadow of the branches thereof, shall they dwell. 24 And all the trees of the field shall know, that I YHWH have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I YHWH have spoken, and have done it. (Ezekiel 17 HRV)
The Book of Tephi describes in great detail this journey Jeremiah took with one of the daughters of Zedekia, Teia Tephi. Also on the voyage Jeremiah brought with him the Lia Fail (Stone of Destiny) and The Ark of The Covenant then on to Gibraltar. There she is proclaimed queen of the Gadite Israelites who lived there. They continued to Breogan in Spain, Cornwall and eventually landed at Howth, near Dublin, in Ireland on the 18th. of June 583 B.C.. The Book of Tephi also describe many of the significant events which occurred at that time in history and are related to her journey from Jerusalem to Ireland. Finally the book contains many prophecies concerning major events which have occurred in 2,500 years since Tephi’s time.

In closing, while the Book of Tephi is not canonicle, I have no hesitation in presenting this tale long sung by the Irish bards as an account of great antiquity and interest, and a book that is entitled to great circulation among those who take pleasure in studying the Word of YHWH.
One final note: The Book of Tephi is presented here just as it was translated by J. A. Goodchild in 1897. Sacred Names have not been inserted, as doing so would in places disrupt the poetry and Rhyme schemes laid out by Goodchild.
