Editor’s
Note: The late Moana Finch was a regular contributor for
our magazine in the sixties. Unfortunately, our achives
have not produced any biographical information but we
hope to add this later. Her articles were, however, very
popular and easily understandable. We feel she truly belongs
in the Hall of Fame category of writers.
OUR FOREFATHERS - THE SAXONS
By Moana Finch
The Saxons can trace their descent back to Isaac, the son
of Abraham. This name was chosen by God for this very special
child the child of Abraham's old age. Genesis 17:19. The name
means laughter, Genesis 21:6.
Isaac was born after his parents were past the normal age
for bearing a child. He was born for a special purpose; he
was a spiritual child. He was a willing sacrifice when his
father offered him upon the altar – thus an early type
of Christ.
Abraham was told that his seed were to be named in Isaac.
Genesis 21:12. For this reason, we find modern Israel called
Saxons and Anglo-Saxons and not Israelites. The word Israel
means ruling with God. Until we become worthy of this high
title we shall not be permitted to use the name. It must be
remembered that spurious Israel bears the name today. (See
Ezekiel 11:15; Isaiah 48:1, 2;) Isaac was given all the covenants
that God conferred upon Abraham and all the blessings have
continued with his descendants.
Later, when the northern house of Israel was released from
captivity to Assyria, she began her long trek across Europe.
During this journey she was known by different names. The
Phoenician name for them was Beth-Sak the house of Isaac.
They were known as Sakai, Sacae, Sak-Geloths, Saki, Saghs.
The Behistun Rock mentions the Saki. On page 126 of “Tracing
Our Ancestors,” Haberman states, "When Israel disappeared
from the pages of history the Anglo Saxons and the Goths were
born.” (For anyone wishing to make a study of these
people, chapter XI of this book is very valuable.)
Sections of the Saki left the main trek and stopped off here
and there along the way. This was God's intention for them.
"For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of
Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve,
yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.”
Amos 9:9.
Some stopped in Germany and lived in the district known as
Saxony today. These are a type quite distinct from the Bavarians
and Prussians. They are tall and slim, fair and with blue
or grey eyes. They are so similar to the British that they
cannot be distinguished from them.
The rest of the Saki crossed over to Britain and there joined
with other tribes of Israel that had preceded them. They are
now the Anglo-Saxon Celtic peoples of the British Isles, of
the coast lands of Europe and of the U.S.A. (Canada, Australia,
New Zealand.)
