1. "Isacon" (Isaac) Ancestor of the Scots
http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/fab/index.htm
The Four Ancient Books of Wales
by William F. Skene [1868]
THE RACES OF BRITAIN AND THE PLACE OF THE PICTS AMONG THEM.
p.99
In the Albanic Duan, which seems to have belonged to some collection of
additions to Nennius, and which contains the oldest record of the
ethnological traditions of Scotland, the brothers Brittus and Albanus
appear as the eponymi of the two Celtic races inhabiting respectively
Britain and Alban, or Scotland. Thus--
p. 100

"O, all ye learned of Alban,
Ye well-skilled host of yellow hair,
What was the first invasion? Is it known to you?
Which took the land of Alban?
Albanus possessed it; numerous his hosts.
He was the illustrious son of Isacon.
He and Briutus were brothers without deceit.
 From him Alban of ships has its name.
Briutus banished his active brother
Across the stormy sea of Icht.
Briutus possessed the noble Alban
As far as the conspicuous promontory of Fothudain."

Note: The father of the brothers is named "Isacon" cf. "Isaac"?

2. Message to Israel from Ulster
Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2004 09:35:44 +0000
From: Ulster-Scots Language Society <usls@ulster-scots.com>
Subject: RE: " a little loyal jewish Ulster"

My friend Mark Thompson, who is a very gifted graphic designer found
this quotation on the internet. Prime Minister Blair wants to use the
example of "peace" in Ulster as proof of his competence to promote
"peace" in the Middle-East. You better watch out! Now here is that
quote: Sir Ronald Storrs, the first British military governor of
Jerusalem, explained that the Zionist
"enterprise was one that blessed him who gave as well as him that took,
by
forming for England a little loyal Jewish Ulster in a sea of
potentially
hostile Arabism". The Zionists would be "the Orangemen of Palestine"
Storr said.

3. Jeremiah 31.

JEREMIAH 31 AND THE LOST TEN TRIBES

Jeremiah chapter 31 contains several important messages pertaining to
the
theme of this work. The Commentary below deals with some of them.

[Jeremiah 31:1] AT THE SAME TIME, SAITH THE LORD, WILL I BE THE GOD OF
ALL
THE FAMILIES OF ISRAEL, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
This is referring to the time of reconciliation when God will once
again
acknowledge the Lost Ten Tribes as HIS people and they will return and
accept HIM.

[Jeremiah 31:2] THUS SAITH THE LORD, THE PEOPLE WHICH WERE LEFT OF THE
SWORD FOUND GRACE IN THE WILDERNESS; EVEN ISRAEL, WHEN I WENT TO CAUSE
HIM
TO REST.
Isaac Abarbanel (1435-1509): <<The prophecy from the expression FOUND
GRACE
IN THE WILDERNESS (31:2) to HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD, O YE NATIONS
deals
with the Future Redemption. It may be divided into three parts: (1)
from
its beginning till the end of [Jeremiah 31:22] speaks of the
ingathering of
the Ten Tribes and their return to settle in their land, (2) The second
part from [Jeremiah 31:23] THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF
ISRAEL;
AS YET THEY SHALL USE THIS SPEECH IN THE LAND OF JUDAH till the end of
(31:26) speaks of the Redemption of Judah. (3) The third part from
[Jeremiah 31:27] BEHOLD, THE DAYS COME, SAITH THE LORD, THAT I WILL SOW
THE
HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH till the end of (31:37) speaks
of
the unification of the two kingdoms of Israel and Judah.>>

[Jeremiah 31:3] THE LORD HATH APPEARED OF OLD UNTO ME, SAYING, YEA, I
HAVE
LOVED THEE WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE: THEREFORE WITH LOVINGKINDNESS HAVE
I
DRAWN THEE.
[Jeremiah 31:4] AGAIN I WILL BUILD THEE, AND THOU SHALT BE BUILT, O
VIRGIN
OF ISRAEL: THOU SHALT AGAIN BE ADORNED WITH THY TABRETS, AND SHALT GO
FORTH
IN THE DANCES OF THEM THAT MAKE MERRY.

[Jeremiah 31:5] THOU SHALT YET PLANT VINES UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF
SAMARIA:
THE PLANTERS SHALL PLANT, AND SHALL EAT THEM AS COMMON
THINGS.
[Jeremiah 31:6] FOR THERE SHALL BE A DAY, THAT THE WATCHMEN UPON THE
MOUNT
EPHRAIM SHALL CRY, ARISE YE, AND LET US GO UP TO ZION UNTO THE LORD OUR
GOD.
The Lost Ten Tribes from the "Mountain" of Ephraim will decide to
return to
Zion and to their God, the God of their fathers, i.e. the God of
Israel.
Menachem Buleh ("Daat Mikra") points out when the Northern Ten Tribes
under
Jeroboam split away from Judah their going up to Jerusalem was
forbidden,
e. g.
<<WHEREUPON THE KING [i.e. Jeroboam] TOOK COUNSEL, AND MADE TWO CALVES
OF
GOLD, AND  SAID UNTO THEM, IT IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO GO UP TO
JERUSALEM:
BEHOLD THY GODS, O ISRAEL, WHICH BROUGHT THEE UP OUT OF THE LAND OF
EGYPT>>
[1-Kings 12:28].
                 According to tradition the last King of Northern
Israel,
Hoshea, allowed those of his people who wished to make the pilgrimage
to
Jerusalem to do so. By that time however it was too late and most of
his
people did not return. In the future this will change and the Lost Ten
Tribes will want to come back. The word translated above as "WATCHMEN"
(THE
WATCHMEN UPON THE MOUNT EPHRAIM in Jeremiah 31:6) in Hebrew is
"Notsrim".
This term in Hebrew came to mean "Christian" and Jeremiah was in fact
prophesying that the Lost Ten Tribes in the latter Times would be
Christians prior to their return.

  [Jeremiah 31:7] FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD; SING WITH GLADNESS FOR
JACOB,
AND SHOUT AMONG THE CHIEF OF THE NATIONS: PUBLISH YE, PRAISE YE, AND
SAY, O
LORD, SAVE THY PEOPLE, THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL.
[Jeremiah 31:8] BEHOLD, I WILL BRING THEM FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY, AND
GATHER THEM FROM THE COASTS OF THE EARTH, AND WITH THEM THE BLIND AND
THE
LAME, THE WOMAN WITH CHILD AND HER THAT TRAVAILETH WITH CHILD TOGETHER:
A
GREAT COMPANY SHALL RETURN THITHER.
                 "FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY": Most of the Lost Ten Tribes
will
be in the North, i.e. "BUT, THE LORD LIVETH, THAT BROUGHT UP THE
CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL FROM THE LAND OF THE NORTH, AND FROM ALL THE LANDS WHITHER HE
HAD
DRIVEN THEM: AND I WILL BRING THEM AGAIN INTO THEIR LAND THAT I GAVE
UNTO
THEIR FATHERS" [Jeremiah 16:15]. They will be mostly to the North of
the
Land of Israel but also in other places. The "North" means Northern
Europe
and North America. The Lost Ten Tribes will also be ingathered "FROM
THE
COASTS OF THE EARTH" [Jeremiah 31:8]. The word translated as "COASTS"
in
Hebrew is "Yarctei" meaning literally thighs. Buleh points out that
this
word is synonymous with "ends of the earth". It was prophesied
frequently
that the Lost Tribes would be in the "ends" or geographical extremities
of
the Continental masses, as indeed they are in every case, e.g. Western
Europe, Scandinavia, Britain, North America, Australia, South Africa.
It
may be a bit fanciful to mention, but if you look at a map of North
America
it does look somewhat similar to a thigh. They will return by plane and
by
ship. It may well be similar to how the Ethiopian Jews returned to
Israel:
We saw pictures of women who had given birth in flight: i.e. HER THAT
TRAVAILETH WITH CHILD. This type of transport in which everybody could
be
safely conducted was not possible until modern times.

                 "North Country" and "Coasts of the Earth" regarding
the
Latter Day Era of our own time refers to North America, Western Europe,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and like places. Even in the time
of
Jeremiah these expressions could refer to areas in Northern Europe. A
related expression connected with the Lost Ten Tribes is "ends of the
earth" (Genesis 33:13, Isaiah 41:8,9,13). This expression too in
ancient
times could relate to northern regions:
                 <<In innumerable places Egyptian, Hebrew, Babylonian,
Greek, and Latin writings refer to the most northerly lands as 'the
ends of
the earth'>> (SPANUTH p. 28).

[Jeremiah 31:9] THEY SHALL COME WITH WEEPING, AND WITH SUPPLICATIONS
WILL I
LEAD THEM: I WILL CAUSE THEM TO WALK BY THE RIVERS OF WATERS IN A
STRAIGHT
WAY, WHEREIN THEY SHALL NOT STUMBLE: FOR I AM A FATHER TO ISRAEL, AND
EPHRAIM IS MY FIRSTBORN.
God will return and acknowledge the Lost Ten Tribes as His people
alongside
Judah. This will be known to all. The Lost Ten Tribes will no longer be
"lost".
<<God says to Israel, You are my sons and I am your father, as it says
[Deuteronomy 14:1] YE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE LORD YOUR GOD. I am your
father as it says, I AM A FATHER TO ISRAEL. It is honorable for the
children to be with their father and it is an honor for the father to
be
with his children>> (Midrash Shemot Rabah 34;4).

[Jeremiah 31:10] HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD, O YE NATIONS, AND DECLARE
IT IN
THE ISLES AFAR OFF, AND SAY, HE THAT SCATTERED ISRAEL WILL GATHER HIM,
AND
KEEP HIM, AS A SHEPHERD DOTH HIS FLOCK.
[Jeremiah 31:11] FOR THE LORD HATH REDEEMED JACOB, AND RANSOMED HIM
FROM
THE HAND OF HIM THAT WAS STRONGER THAN HE.
Notice the linkage of North Country, coasts of the earth, Israel,
Ephraim,
and "Isles afar off".

[Jeremiah 31:12] THEREFORE THEY SHALL COME AND SING IN THE HEIGHT OF
ZION,
AND SHALL FLOW TOGETHER TO THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD, FOR WHEAT, AND FOR
WINE, AND FOR OIL, AND FOR THE YOUNG OF THE FLOCK AND OF THE HERD: AND
THEIR SOUL SHALL BE AS A WATERED GARDEN; AND THEY SHALL NOT SORROW ANY
MORE
AT ALL.
  [Jeremiah 31:13] THEN SHALL THE VIRGIN REJOICE IN THE DANCE, BOTH
YOUNG
MEN AND OLD TOGETHER: FOR I WILL TURN THEIR MOURNING INTO JOY, AND WILL
COMFORT THEM, AND MAKE THEM REJOICE FROM THEIR SORROW.
[Jeremiah 31:14] AND I WILL SATIATE THE SOUL OF THE PRIESTS WITH
FATNESS,
AND MY PEOPLE SHALL BE SATISFIED WITH MY GOODNESS, SAITH THE
LORD.

                 Jeremiah (31:15-17) below speaks of Rachel, the mother
of
the Tribes of Joseph and Benjamin who is pictured as having wept when
her
descendants were taken into exile from Rama in the territory of
Ephraim.
She is told to be comforted for the work has been done. The historical
task
of the Lost Ten Tribes in exile will have been fulfilled. The children
will
be coming home to their own territory from the land of the enemy.

[Jeremiah 31:15] THUS SAITH THE LORD; A VOICE WAS HEARD IN RAMAH,
LAMENTATION, AND BITTER WEEPING; RAHEL WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN REFUSED
TO
BE COMFORTED FOR HER CHILDREN, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT.
The Lost Ten Tribes were exiled and did not return to the Land of
Israel.
Neither were they re-united with Judah. They lost their Identity. In
the
End Times they will return.

[Jeremiah 31:16] THUS SAITH THE LORD; REFRAIN THY VOICE FROM WEEPING,
AND
THINE EYES FROM TEARS: FOR THY WORK SHALL BE REWARDED, SAITH THE LORD;
AND
THEY SHALL COME AGAIN FROM THE LAND OF THE ENEMY.
  [Jeremiah 31:17] AND THERE IS HOPE IN THINE END, SAITH THE LORD, THAT
THY
CHILDREN SHALL COME AGAIN TO THEIR OWN BORDER.
The Tribes of Israel will return to the inheritances of their
forefathers.
Malbim: << AND THERE IS HOPE IN THINE END: There is hope for the Last
Days,
in the End Time. THY CHILDREN SHALL COME AGAIN TO THEIR OWN BORDER:
Meaning
that even though the Lost Ten Tribes who were exiled will not return
themselves, their descendants in the End Time will return to their
boundary. Here it does not say they will return from THE LAND OF THE
ENEMY
[as it does for Judah in Jeremiah 31:16 above] for the Ten Tribes are
not
in the Land of the enemy but they dwell alone in a land faraway from
their
boundary. They will return at the last to their border.>>

[Jeremiah 31:18] I HAVE SURELY HEARD EPHRAIM BEMOANING HIMSELF THUS;
THOU
HAST CHASTISED ME, AND I WAS CHASTISED, AS A BULLOCK UNACCUSTOMED TO
THE
YOKE: TURN THOU ME, AND I SHALL BE TURNED; FOR THOU ART THE LORD MY
GOD.
                 The word used for "young bull" (i.e. "bullock") in
Hebrew
is "AEGEL". Historically this very name "Aegel" was a diminutive
(favorite
nickname) for the ethnic term "Angle". The Angles gave England (i.e.
"Angle-land") its name. Together with the Saxons, Jutes, Vandals, and
others the Angles conquered from the Celts the land that was later
named
England.  The Angles were also called "Aegels". The appellations
"Angle"
and "Aegel" were employed interchangeably. The Hebrew word for young
bull
is "Aegel". Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yistchaki 1040-1105 CE) was the
foremost
Medieval Jewish Commentator. In commentating on this verse (Jeremiah
31;18)
Rashi states that the Hebrew word "Aegel" (Young Bull) was a name
applied
to Ephraim. "Aegel" was also an alternative form of the name "Angle"
applied to the English. The English now nickname themselves "John
Bull".
This is an important point: the verse is strongly indicating that the
English (Angles) are to be identified with Ephraim.
                 Ephraim shall return. The process of return, it is
inferred, will begin when a feeling of the need for repentance will
just
begin to be aroused. This feeling will make itself felt in great
intensity
after the return is under way. Ephraim reproaches himself for the sins
of
his youth.

[Jeremiah 31:19] SURELY AFTER THAT I WAS TURNED, I REPENTED; AND AFTER
THAT
I WAS INSTRUCTED, I SMOTE UPON MY THIGH: I WAS ASHAMED, YEA, EVEN
CONFOUNDED, BECAUSE I DID BEAR THE REPROACH OF MY YOUTH.
  [Jeremiah 31:20] IS EPHRAIM MY DEAR SON? IS HE A PLEASANT CHILD? FOR
SINCE I SPAKE AGAINST HIM, I DO EARNESTLY REMEMBER HIM STILL: THEREFORE
MY
BOWELS ARE TROUBLED FOR HIM; I WILL SURELY HAVE MERCY UPON HIM, SAITH
THE
LORD.
<<EPHRAIM MY DEAR SON. Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: [the word
"Ephraim"
means] someone who grew up in a palace [i.e. a noble]. Rabbi Yehoshua
ben
Nachman said: [the word "Ephraim" means] a master and governor. >>
(YaYikra
Rabah 2;3).
This Midrash refers to the fact that the very name "Ephraim" connotes
nobility  [whereas "Menasseh" connotes representative Accountable
Democracy]. Ephraim dominates Britain and Menasseh is prevalent in the
USA.
Ephraim (nobility, the aristocratic principle of government) still
prevails
in Britain whereas the democratic Principle is paramount in the USA.

[Jeremiah 31:21] SET THEE UP WAYMARKS, MAKE THEE HIGH HEAPS: SET THINE
HEART TOWARD THE HIGHWAY, EVEN THE WAY WHICH THOU WENTEST: TURN AGAIN,
O
VIRGIN OF ISRAEL, TURN AGAIN TO THESE THY CITIES.
Abarbanel: <<The prophet therefore spoke concerning the Kingdom of
Israel
[of the Ten Tribes] SET THEE UP WAYMARKS saying that when you go into
Exile
make signs by the routes and waymarks like piles of rocks [i.e. cairns]
or
stone monuments [Hebrew: Matzavah, i.e. dolmen] so that you may set
your
heart to the route and remember in order that you may return in the way
you
went in, return to your city.>> The Radak (Kimchi) interprets the
Hebrew in
like manner as intending dolmens and cairns. The verse (Jeremiah 31:21)
refers to dolmens and other Megalithic monuments These form a
connecting
link between Israel, Britain, West France, and Scandinavia. The verse
in
effects links "dolmens" with "Ephraim".

[Jeremiah 31:22] HOW LONG WILT THOU GO ABOUT, O THOU BACKSLIDING
DAUGHTER?
FOR THE LORD HATH CREATED A NEW THING IN THE EARTH, A WOMAN SHALL
COMPASS A
MAN.
Abarbanel on this verse says it refers to the Ten Tribes who at first
would
be weak like a woman but later would gain strength like a man and
overcome
the Gentiles.

[Jeremiah 31:23] THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, THE GOD OF ISRAEL; AS
YET
THEY SHALL USE THIS SPEECH IN THE LAND OF JUDAH AND IN THE CITIES
THEREOF,
WHEN I SHALL BRING AGAIN THEIR CAPTIVITY; THE LORD BLESS THEE, O
HABITATION
OF JUSTICE, AND MOUNTAIN OF HOLINESS.
Judah and Israel will practice true justice and be a holy people.

[Jeremiah 31:24] AND THERE SHALL DWELL IN JUDAH ITSELF, AND IN ALL THE
CITIES THEREOF TOGETHER, HUSBANDMEN, AND THEY THAT GO FORTH WITH
FLOCKS.
[Jeremiah 31:25] FOR I HAVE SATIATED THE WEARY SOUL, AND I HAVE
REPLENISHED
EVERY SORROWFUL SOUL.
[Jeremiah 31:26] UPON THIS I AWAKED, AND BEHELD; AND MY SLEEP WAS SWEET
UNTO ME.
[Jeremiah 31:27] BEHOLD, THE DAYS COME, SAITH THE LORD, THAT I WILL SOW
THE
HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND THE HOUSE OF JUDAH WITH THE SEED OF MAN, AND WITH
THE
SEED OF BEAST.
[Jeremiah 31:28] AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT LIKE AS I HAVE WATCHED
OVER THEM, TO PLUCK UP, AND TO BREAK DOWN, AND TO THROW DOWN, AND TO
DESTROY, AND TO AFFLICT; SO WILL I WATCH OVER THEM, TO BUILD, AND TO
PLANT,
SAITH THE LORD.
  [Jeremiah 31:29] IN THOSE DAYS THEY SHALL SAY NO MORE, THE FATHERS
HAVE
EATEN A SOUR GRAPE, AND THE CHILDREN'S TEETH ARE SET ON
EDGE.

  [Jeremiah 31:30] BUT EVERY ONE SHALL DIE FOR HIS OWN INIQUITY: EVERY
MAN
THAT EATETH THE SOUR GRAPE, HIS TEETH SHALL BE SET ON
EDGE.
We shall realize that we are the masters of our own destiny.
[Jeremiah 31:31] BEHOLD, THE DAYS COME, SAITH THE LORD, THAT I WILL
MAKE A
NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AND WITH THE HOUSE OF
JUDAH:
"A NEW COVENANT": This New Covenant entails a change of human nature as
explained in the verses and will take place in the future. The New
Covenant
is to be made with the united Tribes of Judah and Israel (the Ten
Tribes)
together.

[Jeremiah 31:32] NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT THAT I MADE WITH THEIR
FATHERS IN THE DAY THAT I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO BRING THEM OUT OF
THE
LAND OF EGYPT; WHICH MY COVENANT THEY BRAKE, ALTHOUGH I WAS AN HUSBAND
UNTO
THEM, SAITH THE LORD:
  [Jeremiah 31:33] BUT THIS SHALL BE THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH
THE
HOUSE OF ISRAEL; AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAITH THE LORD, I WILL PUT MY LAW IN
THEIR INWARD PARTS, AND WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS; AND WILL BE THEIR
GOD,
AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
[Jeremiah 31:34] AND THEY SHALL TEACH NO MORE EVERY MAN HIS NEIGHBOUR,
AND
EVERY MAN HIS BROTHER, SAYING, KNOW THE LORD: FOR THEY SHALL ALL KNOW
ME,
FROM THE LEAST OF THEM UNTO THE GREATEST OF THEM, SAITH THE LORD: FOR I
WILL FORGIVE THEIR INIQUITY, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SIN NO
MORE.
[Jeremiah 31:35] THUS SAITH THE LORD, WHICH GIVETH THE SUN FOR A LIGHT
BY
DAY, AND THE ORDINANCES OF THE MOON AND OF THE STARS FOR A LIGHT BY
NIGHT,
WHICH DIVIDETH THE SEA WHEN THE WAVES THEREOF ROAR; THE LORD OF HOSTS
IS
HIS NAME:
[Jeremiah 31:36] IF THOSE ORDINANCES DEPART FROM BEFORE ME, SAITH THE
LORD,
THEN THE SEED OF ISRAEL ALSO SHALL CEASE FROM BEING A NATION BEFORE ME
FOR
EVER.
[Jeremiah 31:37] THUS SAITH THE LORD; IF HEAVEN ABOVE CAN BE MEASURED,
AND
THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH SEARCHED OUT BENEATH, I WILL ALSO CAST OFF
ALL
THE SEED OF ISRAEL FOR ALL THAT THEY HAVE DONE, SAITH THE LORD.
  The LORD God of Israel will never desert His people. God is always
with
us. The Lost Ten Tribes and Judah will both return to the Almighty and
be
re-united with each other.
