There are at least five major waves of immigration to the British Isles from about a millennium before Christ time unto the fourteenth century A.D.. They are known as the Brits, Picts, Celts, Anglo Saxons and the Normans. Some may argue differently, but for the sake of this article I will use these as examples. And it just so happens that the ancient Israelites went into captivity at least four times, twice for the northern ten tribes to Assyria and twice for the tribe of Judah into Babylon (2 Kings 15:29, 17:6, 24:12-16, 25:11). With Dan the “pioneer of Israel“, having started to adventure outside the land of Israel proper, likely during the time of Judges about five hundred years before the first captivity (Judges 18).
Last, although we can learn about the identity of our ancestors, either through our own family tree or more extensive research done, we must remember as followers of Christ that Jesus comes first in all of this, as His testimony is the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19:10). And we must remember that ultimately Jesus came to save us from any curses that have come on us from our ancestors disobedience to God, that is we are made free from captivity in Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s name. The truth will make us free (John 8:32). Jesus gave His life for us, dying on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, He was buried and the third day He arose to give us the hope and promise of eternal life in His Holy name. Alleluia and praise the LORD. Amen and Amen.
