A Long Look Back – The Oldest Anglo-Israel Church Celebrates 75 Years The month of March, 2008 witnessed the seventy-fifth anniversary of Restoration, the oldest Anglo-Israel church congregation in North America, if not the world. On March 11, 1933, a dozen individuals gathered in the home of Wilbur C. Dendel, first president, to organize themselves into…

Questions have come our way recently after the BIWF-UK magazine, Covenant Nations (vol. 1, no. 2), printed two conflicting dates for the birth of our Savior. The importance of this is not just an academic exercise, because prophetic time periods are involved, as well as the fulfillment of biblical prophecies.

Recently, a visitor to our church asked about our beliefs. After giving a brief overview of the two houses of Israel in Scripture, their division and separate sets of prophecies, he looked at me somewhat bewildered and replied, “What does any of that have to do with the price of tea in China?”

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit several British-Israel groups in a number of cities throughout England, meeting many wonderful Christian people, on a three-week lecture visit this past October. Such a trip proved to be both inspirational and educational, and a brief overview may be encouraging to our readers as well.

One of the favorite themes of many of our modern ministers is “the prosperity gospel.” This term usually implies that a “love offering” sent to their ministry will result in an outpouring of money and other material blessings to the giver.

God’s moral laws are rules for conduct, transmitted to the Israelites (Psa. 147:19), who were to “teach” them to all the world’s peoples…

A question came from a reader who asked, “The Story Of Celto-Saxon Israel, [Available from the ACP Bookstore – Ed.] on page 199, mentions a passage which speaks of ‘the day of Jezreel.’ What does this expression mean?”

The Early Years of Exile: Did Captive Israel Build Assyria’s Capital City? We read in 2 Kings 17:6 that one of the places to which Israel was transplanted was a place called, “Halah.” Little has been written about this in Christian literature, and some scholars plead ignorance as to the correct location of this place…

One of the locations in which the Assyrians exiled the House of Israel was to a region of Mesopotamia known as Gutium, which extended north from the city of Nineveh up to the mountainous area around Lake Van.
