. These prophecies
were first sent North, then West, and then to the "isles of the sea."
The law of the Gospel of Jesus would be sent to these Tribes; till then
the "isles had to wait for the law." In due time this law was carried to
them by the missionary Tribe of Benjamin. This very thing and time the
prophet had foretold, for he says: "Wherefore glorify ye the Lord by the
Urim; the name of the Lord God of Israel in the islands of the Western
sea." How true, indeed "the isles of the sea saw it and feared."
Jeremiah knew that the Tribe of Dan were a seafaring people, and in their
trading they had become acquainted with Northern Europe and the British
Isles. During the persecutions of Ahab thousands of them had left
Palestine, settling in Denmark--this word Denmark means the circle of
Dan. In course of time they crossed the sea and took possession of the
North of Ireland, settling in the province of Ulster. The Tribe of
Simeon, that had ever cast its lot with Dan, left Palestine and settled
in Wales. Read the prophetic benedictions of the patriarch Jacob in the
light of these historical facts, and they will stand out in sunlight
brightness. "Dan shall judge his people as _one_ of the Tribes of
Israel." In his _oneness_, all alone he shall go out first, mark out and
prepare the way of the other Tribes; and the royal seed, the ruling
power, shall hide itself in him. "Dan shall be a serpent by the way; an
adder in the path that biteth the horses' heels so that his rider shall
fall backward." Yes, Dan will be hid among the Gentiles. He will bite
them, sting them, frustrating their purposes. Then exclaims Jacob: "I
have waited for Thy salvation, O Lord." Dan did wait, until the prophet
Jeremiah landed in his midst with Tea Tephi, the daughter of Zedekiah,
the royal seed, with the ark of the covenant, the tables of the law, the
Urim and Thummim, which would enable Dan to judge his people, with the
stone of Jacob, the pillar witness, which is now in the royal chair in
Westminster Abbey; and also with the standard of Judah. Thus the
prophet, who was the rightful custodian of all these things, carefully
cared for the same, leaving them in charge of Dan. All but the stone
have been concealed till the latter day. For on this stone have been
crowned all the kings and queens of David's line.

Now just here we must take up history--especially Irish history--for in
this matter and at this very point, you will find pro
