Description:

1/1, July 1894 (vol. 9, no 98 is August 1902)-1922. 7s. a year, or included in the 10s. dues of the Association, 36 pp. This was the continuation of The British-Israel and Judah’s Prophetic Messenger and Universal News published by Edward Hine’s British Identity Corporation. When that collapsed the enterprise “fell into other hands” and the journal became The

Messenger and then, about 1894, became this journal. It offered the standard British-Israel fare, with articles like “Colonies of the Danai and the Phoenicians,” “Dan and His Fellow Hebrews in Greece” and “The Ark of the Covenant Hidden at Tara,” and interspersed these with discussions on the political consequences of the equation of Israel with Britain: “Political Imperialism and Biblical Imperialism” and ominous discussions of “The Coming Struggle Between Saxon and Slav for Universal Domination.” As the crowning achievement of its endless mythic genealogies of obscure continental, Scottish, English and Irish royalty it printed a full-page plate of “The Genealogy of H.M.G.M. Queen Victoria Traced from Our First Parents. It also offered regular reports of the Palestine Exploration Fund explorations, and after it was absorbed into the British-Israel World Federation and its National Message in 1922, it gave regular “News of the Association.”
