Category: Christian Israel: Tribal & Theological

Welcome to OCC’s topic of Israel. We are not only covering theological aspects, but historical aspects that prove the European peoples are descendant from ancient Israel. Below you will find hundreds of articles (and books) on the topic of British Israelism. These surrounding topics are vital for understanding your Bible (which a great deal of the prophecies specifically refer to the very end days is when the “Israelite tribes” are doing major things). It’s important also to know who is who, so when you worship God you do so on basis of Him keeping covenant with His true Israel people that the Bible was written to, for and about.
