CHAPTER 11
CHARTS - EZEKIEL'S RIDDLE
Brother John G. Gassaway
Micah 2:12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. 13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
I was made keenly aware of how difficult the chapter on "Ezekiel's Riddles" was to understand and follow by some readers who became confused. I have resources on history that others do not and have never seen in their high school or college history books. First, there is the "Chronicles of Ire" in the British Museum. Then the work of Sharon Turner based on William the Conqueror's "Doomsday records" that chronicled the Saxon, Anglo-Saxon, Ancient Briton, and Scottish royal lines. The Welsh records are extant showing the descent of that line of kings from Anna the cousin of the Virgin Mary down to Owen Tudor, establishing the Welsh line which is still honored today by naming the heir apparent to the British throne, the "Prince of Wales." The records of the European royal lines are found in Sharon Turner's work. Outside England were the records of Tacitus concerning the Ancient Briton lines down to Carodok. We need to get these people that Micah speaks of to their place and see if their "king passed before them." The verse above makes it clear that the House of Jacob (Israel) was to be gathered and put together somewhere. Their very movement to wherever they were to gather would make "great noise." We are NOT talking of the Jew being returned to the Holy Land after Babylonian captivity. Remember the House of Jacob (Israel) is the Northern Kingdom, that was taken into bondage in the far lands beyond the Euphrates River.
II Kings 18:11: And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
II Esdras speaks of this escape to the land they called Arzareth that I have already written of. He speaks of the miracles performed in their escape into the continent of Europe and Isaiah predicted it.
Isaiah 17:12: Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
Josephus stated clearly that only TWO tribes remained under Roman rule and that the other ten were beyond Roman rule in Media. It is clear then from history that God did assemble the House of Jacob and moved them to a new land where they would be assembled. Archaeological proof of these people exists in multitudes of writings concerning the various tribes, particularly Ephraim and their customs such as burying their tribal chieftains with their weapons and chariots. Yet there is NO indication that any one king ruled over them in their early migrations. The conditions changed, however, when they reached the Central European and Western European territories. There they were settled and the rulers who became kings over them were of the line of Zerah. I will show below the Sicambrian Franks and their descent from the line of Hector of Troy. Hector's father Priam, another Zerahite king, ruled Troy. Troy remained under the rulership of these Zerahite kings until Troy fell to the Spartans. One of the kings who was forced to leave with the Spartan's permission was Brutus who first went to Italy and then on to the British Islands where he founded a new city, New Troy, the old name for London! A princess of the Zerahite line, daughter of Priam fled into Central Europe and her descendents through some 23 generations led to Odin, the great king of the area of modern-day Kiev, on the river Dniepper in the republic of the Ukraine. From here he moved (probably with the tribes) up the Dniepper into northern Europe where he established through his children six lines of kings, many whom we are familiar with. I decided this pictorial display of this would go along with chapter 11. I will break it up into parts that will interconnect if you look at them side by side, showing the intermarriages between royal lines of David through Solomon and Nathan and between the lines of Pharez and Zerah.
First, I must put the players into position and to do that we must go back to the Ancient Britons representing at first the line of Zerah and then intermarrying with the line of David through Nathan and also the European line from Zerah through Odin, the descendent of Priam, king of Troy.
In chart three we have two lines of royal families ruling now over separate kingdoms in the British Islands, the Britons in the south in modern day Wales and Siluria, and the line of Anglo-Saxon kings, the preeminent one known as King Arthur. Here we must establish the line from Darda through the House of Troy and the Cimmerians who by the 4th century BC reached the British Islands. The marriage of Charles Martel into this Byzantine line mixes the bloodlines of Zerah and David. The line of Solomon comes through Scotland. We see the time before the Saxon invasions in 534 AD by Cerdic and the conquest of the old English line of Briton.

We have now in chart one gotten Israel's king into Europe ahead of them and in chart two, gotten the king of Israel into the British Islands, connecting the line of Pharez with Zerah through intermarriage of the lines by King Lear and Penardim. Chart three ties the European lines from Zerah to the already present lines of Zerah and Pharez in the British Islands. We see forming the Prussian lines; the French lines and the decline of the Roman line after Constantine the Great. The once great Byzantine line of kings was broken up by the 8th century and absorbed into the emerging Frankish kingdoms of Charlemagne, as well as the new nations of Hungary, and Bohemia. The Byzantine Line was represented in the British Islands only through marriage into the ancient House of Tudor. This chart will tie in the Saxons and Normans to the lineage of the royal line of Great Britain, beginning in 534 AD with Cerdic, the Saxon. The Saxons first arrived from the mainland and settled in the area of today's Norfolk, Essex and Suffolk counties (Shires). They displaced the Anglo-Briton kings of whom Arthur was well known. The Normans arrived with William the Conqueror in 1066 AD to displace the Saxons. At this time the famous "Doomsday" record was compiled which chronicled the existing areas of influence of the Britons and the Saxons. The second overturn involved the Scottish line from Pharez, David and Solomon through Fergus of Scotland.
<Charts 3 & 4 goes here>
We have now connected the lines of Zerah through the Milesian kings of Spain, the High kings of Ireland of the line of Zerah, the kings of Scotland who moved with the second overturn from Ireland, the Saxon line and the Norman line down to the origin of two houses which will start the famous war over succession known as the War of Roses, between the House of York and the House of Lancaster represented by the last two descendants in the last chart, brothers King Richard II and his brother Lionel and eliminated every Norman successor to the throne of England land except Queen Elizabeth who died without heirs. The many marriages shown in chart three and a final marriage of Elizabeth's aunt Margaret to James IV of Scotland justified turning the crown over to Scotland. The die was cast for the third turnover. We have Solomon represented in the line through James VI (James I of England) from the daughter of Zedekiah, Tamar or Tia Tephi of Ireland and the line of Zerah represented by her husband, the high king of Ireland, Heremon. Also perpetuating the line of David through Nathan is the Tudor connection. Intermarriages with the Saxon and Norman kings has introduced the line of Zerah through the Trojans through Hector and Priam of Troy and their descendent Odin who moved from Kiev in the steplands of Russia to northwestern Europe to begin a long dynasty of European monarchs. The thrones of Solomon and David are preserved from Scotland. (See chart five).
We saw the end of the line of Stuart family of Scottish kings, the Saxon and the Norman kings as result of a bloody war over succession between two descendants of the Norman, William the Conqueror. The Oliver Cromwell revolt interrupted the Stuart Dynasty temporarily. After the protest was settled Charles II reigned as a Protestant King. The line of the Stuart Dynasty was further weakened when his son, James II married a Catholic. The throne was then turned over to Mary II, a daughter of James II who had married her first cousin, William of Orange. This ended the line of Stuart Scottish kings with the last ruling monarch being William III of the House of Orange. A sister of Charles I, Elizabeth turned to her "cousins" in Europe to marry Fredrick V, elector of Palatine. They were Protestant and had a daughter, Sophia. Under an act of Parliament in 1701, it was ordered that succession could only be by a Protestant. Sophia, a niece of Charles was the final heir in line by law, passing over many Catholic heirs who fled to the continent to escape the law. Sophia married Frederick I, king of Prussia and in doing so the third overturn to a completely Zerahite monarchy having the bloodlines of David and Solomon only through Sophia. The overturn was complete with this German line descending from Odin, Priam, Darda and Zerah, establishing a new House of Hanover.

The final chart finishes the line of monarchs of Great Britain to the present day. This royal family is very much a Zerahite one derived more from the German, Bavarian, Danish and Bohemian lines of Zerahite kings, many descending from Odin, the father of kings of Europe. To many, Odin is a fictitious character who became a god to the heathen of northwestern Europe. He was a real person, having lived first in the area of modern day Kiev in the Ukraine on the Dnepr River. He migrated to northwestern Europe where he set up a new kingdom that expanded over Sweden, Denmark, and Eastern Europe. He married a daughter of Cadwalldr who was a son of Lucius who was a son of Cyllinus who in turn was the son of Carodok who in turn was a son of Bran who was the son of the marriage of King Lear of the Ancient Britons and Penardim who was a daughter of Anna, the cousin of the Virgin Mary, thus connecting the House of David through both Nathan and Solomon. Through this, God kept the promise of a continual dynasty of David and Solomon! Yes, Frea became a goddess to the heathen just like her husband, Odin. That is the nature of heathens, which the Anglo-Saxons were until after Joseph of Arimathea brought the Gospel to them in 42 AD. He established the first church outside Jerusalem at Glastonbury, England. Antioch came later as well as the church of Armenia, both, which were very early themselves 40 to 50 AD. Picking up with Queen Victoria, the final chart looks like this:
<Charts 6 & 7 go here>
We have gotten Israel's kings to the British Islands through the descendents of Zerah dating back before the time of the Exodus and the line of Pharez through David and Solomon with Jeremiah and Tamar the daughter of Zedekiah, about five years after the fall of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar. We have gotten Zerahite kings to Europe via Darda who's descendant Priam was defeated in the 12th century BC by the Mycenaean Greeks and his descendent Brutus moved to the British Islands and Odin, the father of kings of Europe moved into central Europe. Now I will turn back to how Israel got from their place of bondage in Media to Europe. The prophecy is already covered concerning this. Now I will be using historical sources outside the Bible to show the proof concerning these "lost tribes." I hope you can take these charts and the narrative and read "Ezekiel's Riddles" again alongside and understand why I stand in awe of the detail by which God kept His promise to Abraham, Jacob, Judah, David and Solomon of holding the 'scepter' while Joseph and his descendents would receive the other temporal promises given to Abraham.
