Background:
Nearly the whole of Isaiah chapter 42 is referring to Israel - especially
the Lost Ten tribes as we explained in our commentary there:
http://www.britam.org/isaiah/Isaiah41to45.html#42
A COVENANT OF THE PEOPLE [Brit-Am], FOR
A LIGHT OF THE GENTILES and of freeing the prisoners [Isaiah 42:6].
Isaiah also speaks of sea-goers:
SING UNTO THE LORD A NEW SONG, AND HIS
PRAISE FROM THE END OF THE EARTH, YE THAT GO DOWN TO THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS
THEREIN; THE ISLES, AND THE INHABITANTS THEREOF [Isaiah 42:10] .
End of the earth: Most Israelites
dwell at the geographical extremities of the earth when Jerusalem is consider
the center.
##GO DOWN TO THE SEA##:
Seagoers.
AND ALL THAT IS THEREIN. Note the
emphasis. Israelites will be all over the seas of the world. This ties in with
other proofs (that are discussed elsewhere) connected with this one such as
Israelites being in many oceans and ruling the waves.
ISLES: Islands and coastland
dwellers.
Isaiah indicates that Israelites will be major sea-farers. This fits in with the
promises to Israel that included being a major Sea-Faring power with
international extensions.
The following verse [Isaiah 42:11] speaks of Kedar which is also linked with
North America and the Ten Tribes as expounded upon in our book "Ephraim"
The Lost Ten Tribes had to be a sea-faring nation and include sea-farers amongst
their myriad other characteristics. We shall also note the connection of The
Lost Ten Tribes with Tarshish, with ships plying the Atlantic Ocean, of
Israelites being in "many waters", ruling the waves, and of specific Tribes
(such as Zebulon and Dan) being connected with the Sea and Sea-Shores.
Is this Proof Really Peculiar to Israel?
On the one hand it may be claimed that nearly every nation with a coastline has
produced a sea-faring element.
When however one examines the historical record there are not that many
sea-faring races on a major level.
We have the British (including Americans), Scandinavians, and Dutch as the
primary sea-farers followed by Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italians, Greeks,
and to some degree the Chinese, and in our day Indians from India.
Out of this list Biblical Evidence shows that the British (including Americans),
Scandinavians, and Dutch as well as the French were the ones whose populations
included a significant proportion of Israelites.
However you take it the message is clear that the Lost Ten Tribes are to be
found over several oceans and to include seafaring amongst their activities and
distinguishing markers.
Poem: Israelite
Sea-Farers
Israelites
would go Down to the Sea
Fishing and trading for you and me.
They will sing Praises of the Divine
From the Ends of the Earth and Isles.
Their ships washed with Ocean brine.
As decided by Providential Design.
They will outwit all enemy guiles.
As fortune upon their face smiles.
Ships of Britain, USA, and France
Holland, and Scandinavian Vikings
Over the Oceans their vessels prance
Skirting their enemies as in a dance.
Buying and selling and other things.
Their fame all over the world rings.
From the islands they shall return
Bearing their sons and daughters
Coming back as hearts do burn
Their Ships sailing over the waters.
