NOTE: this
booklet has since been updated substantially and incorporated into the
forthcoming Lost Races of the Ancient World book.
In this
section we shall discuss the peoples descended from Dodanim and in the
following sections the amazing truth concerning the western and eastern branches
of Tarshish.
THE DESCENDANTS OF
DODANIM
The peoples
of Dodanim are called Rodanim in I Chronicles 1:7. The Septuagint version
translates both Dodanim (in Genesis) and Rodanim (in I Chronicles) as
Rhodioi. There is no doubt in the minds
of researchers that the Dardanians were originally a people in Asia Minor or
western Turkey.[1] Aalders is
convinced that the rendering in the Bible should read Dardanim and that this
obviously refers to the residents of Asia Minor in the area of Troy which
traces its origin to a certain Dardanus.
Later we find the city of Dardanus there and the surrounding area became
known as Dardany.[2]
Undoubtedly
the name also refers to the original inhabitants of the Isle of Rhodes, off the
western coast of Asia Minor, in the Aegean Sea.[3] In his excellent work, Dr. Gayre has the
following to say of the matter:
Dodanim has
Rodanim as an alternative reading, and if so it will indicate the inhabitants
of Rhodes.[4]
The peoples
of Rhodes were known as Rhodians or Dardani. The entire chain of islands off
Asia Minor were known as the Dodecanese, which means today "twelve
islands", Rhodes being the most southerly. The Greeks still call these islands the Dodekanissos, and indeed
they belong to Greece.
The bulk of
Dodanim migrated through Greece and Yugoslavia and a province in eastern Greece
is known as Rodopi. It is the second province before one reaches Turkey. To the south is the Aegean Sea and Bulgaria
lies to the north. Today we still have
a mountain range in southern Bulgaria/eastern Greece called the Rhodope
Mountains. We also find in ancient Greece a city called Dodana.[5]
Ancient
historian, Ammianus Marcellinus refers to the Dardani as occupying Illyricum:
Some asserted
that the people first in these regions [Gaul] were...Celts...and Galatae (for
so the Greek language terms the Gauls)...Others stated that the Dorians [ie
Greeks]...settled in the lands bordering on the Ocean...Some assert that after
the destruction of Troy a few of those who fled from the Greeks and were
scattered everywhere occupied those regions, which were then deserted.[6]
Interestingly,
Marcellinus also mentions the city of Dardanus on the Hellespont[7], the Rhodii
people of the isle of Rhodes[8], a region of
Thrace which was known as Rhodopa[9] and the
region of Gallograecia, past Nicea.[10]
Pliny, in his
Natural History[11], refers to
the River Rhode running off the Black Sea and a more modern historian, Geipel,
reveals that a tribe known as the Rhoddani lived in the Euxine cradleland.[12] Whilst describing the lower Danube area,
Pliny mentions that the "Moesia contains the Dardani".[13] In addition
he refers to Mount Rhodope,[14] the
"savage tribe of the Dardani"[15] dwelling on
the northwest coast of Greece, the river Rhoedias[16] flowing off
the north coast of the Aegean Sea in Macedonia and the town of Rodosto.[17] Historian Lempriere concurs with this but
adds that the Trojans were called Dardani or Dardanidae after the region of
Dardania. He further asserts that the
Dardanelles received its name from them.[18] While Strabo
makes mention of the Dardanii as dwelling in northern Yugoslavia in association
with the Galatae or as an alternative name for the Galatae.[19] These
Galatae were central European Keltic (West Alpine) tribes. Strabo speaks of "the
Dardanian country. This country borders on the Macedonian and the Paeonian
tribes on the south".[20]
He also
refers to these people as the Dardaniatae[21]. The Galatae
were also known as Gallo-Graecians![22] Any historian would inform you that these
Gallo-Graecians were also known as Kelts and eventually settled in central
France. Some historians even label them
as the Kelto-Skuthai or Kelto-Scythians.[23] They were, of course, not the same as the
Kelts which invaded the British Isles.
Anthropologist
Kephart writes that Keltic intruders (the Umbri from Illyria"entered the
Po River Valley and pushed earlier arrivals ahead of them".[24]
And historian
Filmer wrote:
It is
important to realise...that the majority of the Celts remained for many years
in their settlements in central Europe...a large group burst through the Alps
into Italy, pressing on south to sack Rome itself. These were subsequently
driven back into northern Italy to become known as the Cis-Alpine Gauls, to
distinguish them from [their relatives] the Trans-Alpine Gauls in France.[25]
A branch of
Dodanim dwell to this day in northern Italy. They are concentrated in the north
and northwest. In this regard, Pliny refers to the tribe of Dardi living in
Apulia in Italy.[26] Apulia was
part of the ancient Magna Graecia.[27] In the
north-east they dwell near the Bavarians and Illyrians (related to the
Albanians and many Yugoslavs). They are of the Alpine sub-racial stock,
comprising 25% of the population of Italy.
Nearby dwell Nordic descendants of the Ostrogoths, from Gether, son of
Aram (5% of the population). But most Italians are Mediterranoids (70%).
Perhaps the
Ligurians may be traced to this stock. We know that they settled for a time the
region of Liguria on the west of Italy
and it was thought that they may have descended from the Gauls or Greeks and
may perhaps have been the posterity of the Ligyes which Herodotus referred to.
The Ligyes originally inhabited the area between the Caucasus and the river
Phasis.[28]
THE CENTRAL FRENCH
as Galli,
Gallo-Kelts or Gauls. In Gaul they were known as the Celtorii.[29] Brentano writes:
This name
Celt, they gave themselves. Some also called them Galates. The Romans called
them Galli.[30]
In fact the
Roman historians even claimed that the Gauls originally came from the eastern
Mediterranean before settling in France![31] Anthropologist
Kephart says that these Gallo-Kelts came from south-eastern Europe near
Constantinople![32] One of the major or chief tribes of these
French Gauls or Galli was known as the Redones.[33]
They named
the River Rhone after themselves as it was originally known as the Rhodanus.[34] Pliny states that there was the "former
site of Rhoda [a town on the Rhone][35], a colony of
Rhodes, that has given its name to the Rhone"[36]and a tribe
in central France known as the Rhedones.[37] In Germany,
where many of these Gallo-Kelts settled for a time, we had the Rhadana River.[38] Most of the Walloons of southern Belgium
also descend from Dodanim, having been cut off from their brethren of
central/eastern France by a Nordic element in northern France:
The name
given to the Celtic tribe of the Gauls, taken from the German form Walah,
applies to the Valagues, or Walloons, or Gallois, to the Gauls themselves.[39]
The Walloons
comprise 40% of the population of Belgium.
The remaining 60% are overwhelmingly Nordics and are known as the
Flemings.
It is also
quite possible that a branch of Dodanim arrived in France by sea. A people called the Ligurians anciently
settled in southern France. "Thus small built were the Ligurian people,
their origin linked with the most famous of the Greek colonies, Sicily"[40] writes one
historian. Another writes concerning them that
It should be
noted also that the Classical historians found traces of them even in Anterior
Asia, evidently their country of origin.[41]
This branch
evidently stopped over in Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and Languedoc in
their journey to France[42]. What did
they look like? They were characterised
by "their small waistline, their slightly swarthy skin, black hair and
small head".[43]
Physical
anthropologist John Beddoe further enlightens us of the sub-racial type of the
Ligurians:
A number of
skulls...have furnished the basis for
the construction of what is generally called the Ligurian type, a very broad
form [i.e. brachycephalic] resembling the Keltic...the Piedmontese, Kelto-Ligurian,
[are] very broad-headed [and] are short.[44]
In other
words they are Western Alpine in racial type and are thus not the ancestors of
the dark, long-headed (dolicocephalic) Mediterranoid element in southern
France. Beddoe also terms the Ligurians as Gallokeltic. Other historians call them Celto-Ligurians.
Though of an identical brachycephalic
Alpine sub-race as the Gauls, they spoke a different language. They spread down into Spain, with many
returning to France (primary and reflux movements).[45]
A branch of
the Ligurians migrated into Portugal[46], but there
are none there today.[47] Most Portugese are descended from Tarshish,
while those in the south have mixed to a degree with Semites and Negroids. Many
are mixed returnees from Brazil, Timor, Angola and Mozambique. Today a large
segment of the population of northern Spain is descended from the Gauls.[48] They settled
in Aragon or Galicia,[49]while other
Celts settleed in Asturia.[50] It should
also be noted that many of Dodanim's descendants, known as Celtae, were known
as Celtiberi once they sank their roots in Spain.[51] The Basques
of south-west France/northern Spain dwell nearby.
Some Gauls
returned to their original homeland in south-east Europe and Asia Minor in c280
B.C., becoming known as the Galatians[52]. But the
overwhelming majority remained in France. Back in the sixteenth century A.D.,
both Pierre David Huet and Samuel Bochart believed and wrote firmly that the
majority of French descended from Dodanim.[53].
HUMAN BIOLOGY OF THE FRENCH
The Gauls,
Walloons, many northern Spanish and the northern Italians descend, as we have
seen, from Dodanim. All physical
anthropologists relate that the Gallo-Kelts are the ancestors of the central
French.[54]
In terms of
physical anthropology, in comparison to Nordics, they are broad-headed
(brachycephalic), have a larger, broader nose and darker skin pigmentation[55] and are
shorter in stature on average; in addition they have a much lower percentage of
blondes. Today the peoples of France may be divided into three distinct types
as they were even in the times of Caesar and described as such by him.[56] The
central/eastern French and also the majority of Bretons are Dodanim Alpines
(55% of the population); the northern French are Nordics (20-25%); those in the
north-east are of German stock; the southern French are Mediterranoids, mixed
of Canaanites and north Africans (15%).
Also the Quebecans of Canada are over-whelmingly from Alpine Dodanim
stock. Quebec is poised today like a
dagger at the heart of North America.
She may yet play a large part in the efforts of the soon-coming United
States of Europe - a National European Socialist Empire - comprising
overwhelmingly the Alpine and Mediterranoid elements of Europe but relatively
few Nordics. Quebec may be their launching pad into North America!
Some may
argue that because the Central French are called Kelts, 'therefore they must be
related' to the Kelts of the British Isles. This is not the case as physical
anthropologists have proven that they are Alpines. A perceptive glance by the
naked eye would reveal that to anyone willing to see if he had to visit France.
You see,
although the Gallo-Kelts or Gauls spoke an identical language to the Nordic
Kelts, they were two totally different sub-racial stocks both of which were
called Keltic or Celtic. As a result,
confusion has arisen in the minds of researchers according to Professor Carleton
Coon.[57]
The author of
the unpublished manuscript, Key to North-West European Origins[58], also
believes such:
There is
every reason to believe that the original Celts, like the early Teutons
and Germani, were primarily of 'Nordic' racial type even though a number of
round or broad-headed Alpine type were undoubtedly included among them. This name 'Celt' has certainly been applied
in later times to some Alpine types.
These Alpine
Kelts or Gauls were so impressed by the Nordic Kelts that they liked to relate
themselves to these Nordics by dyeing their hair to make it look like these
Nordics![59]
The Kelts who
came to Britain were of the Nordic variety according to anthropologist John
Baker.[60] They were tall, dolicecephalic and
fair-skinned. The early Kelts spoke the
Q dialect of the Gallo- Kelts, but are racially distinct. It was the Romans who confused the matter by
calling both sub-races Galli. The latter Kelts who invaded Britain spoke the P
dialect of the Nordic Kelts and who were also Nordic by race.[61] A few Gallo-Kelts who invaded Britain with
the Nordic Kelts in the first invasions by them (the Q speaking Kelts), were
later driven out of south-western England into Breton in France.[62]
Prior to the Q
Keltic invasion of Britain by Nordic Kelts and Gallo-Kelts, a Mediterranoid
element existed in Wales and southern Ireland known as Silurians.[63] The blood type of some of the olive-skinned
tribes of the extreme north-west of Wales and extreme south-west of Ireland are
almost identical to the Canaanites of North Africa, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily
and southern Italy,[64] but the vast
majority of Irish and Welsh are from the Nordic Kelts (called Celtae or Belgae)
and who remain unhybridized.[65]
Many Bible
scholars know where Tubal, Meschech, Elishah and Magog are, as well as
Tarshish. How do they go about proving the location of the western branch of
Tarshish?
The root form
of Tarshish is "rasasu" which means "to be smelted".
Tarsisu is derived from this root and means a "smelting-plant" or
"refinery".[66] The
inhabitants of Tarshish were called Tharsians or Tarseaiium in times of
old. They founded the city of Tarsus or
Tharsos in Cilicia, Asia Minor (see Acts 9:11,30; 11:25; 21:39;
22:3) before one group branched off westwards. The Assyrians called it Tarzu[67]. The peoples
of Tarshish have marks of their migration left behind them in the
Mediterranean. For instance, monumental inscriptions bearing the name of
Tarshish was erected by the Phoenicians Canaanites) in Sardinia. Jonah
attempted to flee to Tarshish:
But Jonah
rose up to flee into Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to
Joppa; and he found a ship' going to Tarshish (Jonah 1:3).
Tarshish was
a city-port on the Mediterranean sea-coast. Where was that? Any Bible scholar
will tell you it may be found in southern Spain.[68] For in Spain
lay the city of Tartessus. According to
Herodotus[69] and Strabo,
Tartessus is where Cadiz now stands. Carteria on the Bay of Gibraltar was also
known as Tartessos.[70] The Tarshish
of southern and central Spain was noted, for its silver, iron, tin and lead.[71](cp Ezekiel
27:12). No wonder they were named "Tartessus" ("to be
smelted"). It should be noted that the Spanish peninsula took its name
Iberia, from the Iberians, a name of Greek origin.
There is
nothing new of course, in believing that the bu1k of the Spanish are descended
from Tarshish. Daniel Huet, Bishop of Avranches, and Calvinist Pastor, Samuel
Bochart of Caen, in the sixteenth century, also believed this truth.[72]
King
Ahasuerus (i.e. Xerxes, reignedc.485 - 464 B.C.) "laid a tribute upon the
land, and upon the isles of the sea" (Esther 10:1). This may have included
Tarshish as his empire probably had interests there at the height of his power.[73] One of his chief counsellors was actually
named Tarshish (Esther 1:14). This was often done in those times as
high-ranking persons were often named after distant provinces.[74]
One of
Benjamin's grandsons was called Tarshish (I Chronicles 7:10), which may
indicate that a part of that tribe either lived in Spain for a time or traded
with it. The heart of Spanish or Tarshish civilization was Andalusia in
southern Spain, before spreading northwards.
Their arts and industries indicates a striking similarity to those of
the Phoenician Canaanites and Greeks. The Greeks and Canaanites also
established trading colonies in Spain, but this did little to alter the
original racial strain. To the north a
tiny Nordic element still persists; and a very dark element in the deep south
of Spain is extant, being the remnants of the Arabs and Moors which invaded
Spain centuries ago. However, most were driven back out of Spain and thus did
not alter the racial make-up of the original Spanish.[75]
THE EASTERN TARSHISH
The peoples
descended of Javan mutated into two different racial types; one an
olive-skinned Caucasian type; the other a yellow-skinned type. Undoubtedly the
eastern branch of Tarshish, dwelling anciently in Asia Minor, migrated with
Kittim, a similar - looking people, into the Far East. A branch of Elishah may have travelled with
them. I am pleased to find that I am not alone in proclaiming an eastern
Tarshish. Chambers, in one publication, asserts that there was indeed an
eastern Tarshish, but feels that it is in India.[76]
Where did the
eastern Tarshish finally put down roots?
The Bible gives us plenty of clues:
For the king
had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of
Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks (I Kings
10:72. See II Chronicles 9:21).
Jehoshaphat
made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the
ships were broken at Ezion-geber (I Kings 20:48. See the parallel
scripture in II Chronicles 20:36-37 where it mentions "ships to go to
Tarshish").
These
scriptures speak in terms of a sea port to Tarshish at Ezion-geber on the Red
Sea coast. The New Bible Commentary feels that although these ships went
as far as India, they could not have circumvented Africa to get to the western
Tarshish (Spain)[77] as this
would have taken too long and would have been uneconomical. This commentary
concludes that a careless scribal error must have slipped into the two accounts
of Tarshish in II Chronicles.[78] Two scribal errors of the same nature in the
one book? How preposterous! Instead here is a mention of an eastern
Tarshish, a possibility most scholars overlook.
The same
Commentary admits that there was more than one Tarshish and that there may have
been one in the Orient, but rejects the idea because there is no record of such
a port.[79] We shall see. Custance also believes such,
but admits that it is impossible to think in terms of ships of Tarshish
bringing ivory, apes and peacocks from Spain.[80] And the International
Standard Bible Encyclopedia[81] states that
there was a Tarshish accessible from Ezion-geber.
Back to the
scripture first quoted. The words used
here of apes and peacocks are Indian (Tamil), not Hebrew.[82] So the ships to and from Tarshish stopped
over in India on the way back to Israel. Josephus renders the same verse as
"ivory, Ethiopians and Apes".[83] The Hebrew
here for "Ethiopians" is "Sukkiyyim".
There were no
black Cushitic peoples in Spain. They were only in East Africa and India. Here is further proof that there was an
eastern Tarshish. Undoubtedly, as I stated previously, Tarshish migrated with
Kittim. They stayed with Kittim for a time in northern China. The Chinese
Yuan-Yuan Empire and Yuanan region take their names from Javan, father of
Tarshish! The peoples of Persia called those descended from Javan in Asia Minor
Yuna or Yauna.[84] By the way, the island of Java in Indonesia
may be named after him.
In China,
along the coast, there was a people called the Three Han by the early Chinese
writers. Han may be a derivation of
Javan or Yahan. They were recognised as being a very different people to the
rest of the Chinese. The three were the
Ma-Han, Shon-Han and the Pien-Han.
There is, as Bishop writes, a very close relationship between them and
the people who settled in Japan .[85] No doubt they were the very ones who settled
in Japan later. Their culture may be described as partly Chinese and partly
central Asian[86], where the
Scythians were. Hurlimann traces them back to central Asia[87] and Japanese
traditions maintain that they originated in the far west of Asia![88]
The ancient
maps, says Professor Odlum, show the Sacae or Saka right across south Siberia
and into Korea.[89] The name Saka is found in Japan, even on
modern maps: Sakai (near Osaka), Saeki, Sakaiminato, Sakata, Sakishima and
Sakurai. Even the burial customs of the Japanese as revealed in the ancient
tombs resemble those of the Scythians, says Hurlimann.[90]
Hurlimann
continues: the ancient Japanese constructed dolmens. They were radically different to those in Korea; and the Chinese
built none. Another proof, he says,
that the Chinese and Japanese (in the main) are ethnologically dissimilar.[91] In fact the dolmens of Japan are similar to
those in the West and no dolmens are found east of the Caspian Sea.[92]
It is not
generally known that the Japanese claim in their traditions to have been led to
the island of Japan by a symbolic three-legged sun-crow (it appears somewhat to
a swastika in shape).[93] It is
interesting that the only other area of the world where one finds such symbols
are the regions of southern Turkey. Josephus wrote that "Tharsus [gave his
name] to the Tharsians; for so was Cilicia of old called".[94] Therefore it
should come as no surprise that the ancient capital of Cilicia was Tarsus. Is
this where the Japanese first settled ?
Of further
interest is the statement in a Japanese document compiled in 720 AD, the Nihon
shoki (Chronicles of Japan), that Ninigi, a forefather of their race, had
four sons. This may have been Javan who also had four sons. From one son descended the Japanese emperor Jemmu Tenno.
This son was named Po-wori which means "FireBender" and may be
compared to Tarshish which means "smelter" or "refiner".[95]
THE SPANIARDS OF ASIA
When the
Spaniards first encountered the Japanese, they referred to them as "the
Spaniards of Asia" - by which they meant the Tarshish of Asia.[96] This is
where the eastern Tarshish is! In
Japan! The Spanish knew that they were
descended, to a large degree, from Tarshish.
Colin in his Native
Races and Their Customs writes:
The principle
settler in these archipeligoes was Tharsis, son of Java, together with his
brothers.[97]
Where does
the name JAPAN come from? JAVAN of
course! The name JIH-PUN was used by the Chinese of them and later came to
mean, RISING SUN.
The Kittim in
north-eastern China are taller than the Magogites, have lighter skins and are
fairly dolichocephalic. The Japanese, say the anthropologists, are related to
the former.[98] And at least 20% of the northern Chinese in
build, proportion and features resemble the Mediterranean-Southwest Asian
peoples.[99] So say anthropologists!
In Japan
today, four primary sub-racial groups may be identified:
1. The Okayama : The ruling class who are
taller and more European-looking than the rest; they have a complexion ranging
from yellow to almost pure white; small mouth, finer features and slender
build; they live mainly in the north.[100] These are
the descendants of Tarshish. Buxton adds that they came from Korea and
Manchuria originally[101], near where
Kittim settled. Haddon asserts that they descend from Bronze Age conquerors who
came from Central Asia while many of those in the lower classes reveal
Malayo-Polynesian origins.[102]
2. The Ishikawa/Chikuzen : A darker strain,
related directly to the central Chinese; these have prominent cheek-bones,
large mouth, heavily boned physique. They are a mixture of the Chinese and
Korean invaders with the original inhabitants.[103] These are from Magog.
3. The Satsuma : A very dark proto-Malay[104] or
south-east Asian strain; they number so few as to be almost negligible; they
probably drifted into Japan via the Kuro-shino (Black Tide) current which
sweeps northward from the Philippines; these dwell mainly in the extreme south.[105] They descend from Ashkenaz.
4. The Ainu : These wonderful people are a
mixture of proto-Nordic, Australoid and Mongoloid[106];
approximately eighteen thousand of them
are left.[107]. These
remarkable people have such European features as oval eyes, heavy distribution
of hair throughout the body, thin lips and well-developed jaws and chin.[108]
Thus, as
Buxton maintains, from a physical anthropological point of view, the Japanese
are not a mere offshoot of the Chinese race, but a totally different stock,
related to them.[109] They also
have a higher percentage of wavier hair
than the Chinese; the length of head is greater and the cranium smaller. The
face is narrower and the eye-fold less developed.[110] Also, together with the Koreans, they
exhibit a high frequency of Blood group A in common with West Europeans.[111]
THE HEBREWS AND THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN!
The Bible
makes quite plain that ships from Israel traded with Japan during the days of
Solomon. Is there any evidence of this
in Japan itself? Indeed there is!
Professor
Odlum, in his booklet, Who are the Japanese? noticed certain
resemblances between the Japanese and the Hebrews:
Another thing
they have on their palace walls or gate is a picture of a sheperd with a
shepherd's crook and sheep. Until these modern days Japan had no sheep...the
origin of the picture was in Pa1estine. It showed a Palestinian face and
Palestinian sheep. Why did the Japanese peop1e put the picture there when they
had no sheep?
Also they
have the lion and the unicorn from ancient days in the old Palace of Kioto. One
of the pictures has twelve lions, twelve unicorns and twelve serpents; all
Israelite regalia.[112]
Like ancient
Israel, Japan has a Palace of Gihon (I Kings 1:33) with a picture which would
easily remind one of Solomon, says Odlum.[113] And like Israel (II Kings 23:11), they had
horses sacred to the sun.[114] I will
quickly list several other items which Professor Odlum mentions. By the way, he
does not believe the Japanese to be Tarshish or even descended from
Japheth! But his booklet is most useful
as you can see.
Various
artifacts such as an ancient bronze frontlet, properly belonging to western
Asia, have been found in Japan.[115] Not only do they use scrolls as Israel did[116], but
"the Japanese have used the Moochi, or Unleavened Bread from time
immemorial" just as Israel did. Professor Odlum also speculates
that the word Samurai is a modification of the word Samaria.[117] The Samurai
were a warrior class in Japan.
The Shindai
sect or holy class of Japan have some peculiar similarities to the ancient
Israelites: their Shinto temple is divided into a holy place and a most holy
place; the priests wore a linen dress, bonnet and breeches quite similar to
that of the priests of Israel; the ancient worship of the Shindai seems to be
connected with the patriachal-type worship of the Israelites. Of further interest is the fact that the
first known king in Japan was Osee (730 B.C.) and he may have derived his name
from the last king of Israel, Hosea who died about 722 B.C.
Obviously
there were contacts between the two peoples since the time of Solomon and they
would have heard about Hosea.[118] Also, Levin states that:
Hungarian
anthropologist Yanka noticed the distinctive type of Japanese nobility,
characterized by 'Semitic' traits.[119]
In this
regard, it must be noted that distinguished Japanese historian, Dr Oyabe,
attempted to establish a blood relationship between Israel and the Japanese. He
even went so far as stating that the Japanese descend from Gad and Manasseh. Dr
Oyabe cited numerous customs of the Japanese which closely resembles
Israelitish customs.[120] Another
prominent Japanese, Dr Yoshitomi, drew attention to the resemblences between
the Jews, Basques and Japanese.[121]
Surely there
can be no doubting now? The Japanese
are the eastern Tarshish visited by King Solomon's ships!
JAPAN'S FUTURE !
Speaking of
the fall of modern Tyre/Babylon, Isaiah prophesied:
The burden of
Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it [Tyre] is laid waste, so that there is
no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim [north-eastern China] it is
revealed to them [how? Because China with her Russian allies would have invaded
Europe!]. Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle so shall they be sorely pained
at the report of Tyre. Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the
is1e. Pass through thy land as a river, 0 daughter [ie offshoot or mutation] of
Tarshish : there is no more strength. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish : for your
strength is laid waste (Isaiah 23:1-2, 6, 10, 14; see Ezekiel 27:2,
25).
In this
prophecy we have clear indication of Japan being a great trading nation with
Europe (Tyre or Babylon). In this regard, one senior Japanese official has
publicly announced that "we are keen supporters of a strong [United]
Europe"![122] When Europe
falls to the eastern hordes, Japan will be greatly dismayed, for now her
trading empire would have collapsed. This prophecy cannot speak of Spain, who
will be in modern Tyre, as part of it; and not looking from the outside in as
this Tarshish does.
In other
prophecies God warns Japan:
For the Day
of the Lord shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one
that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low. And upon all the ships of
Tarshish. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down (Isaiah 2:12,
16-17).
God will
bring the haughty Japanese down as He will with all peoples. They must learn that it is God who has given
them their talents; they must thank Him for it, not be boastful about their
achievements, patting themselves on the back.
Another
reason for Japan's prophesied punishment is that she no doubt would have taken
many Israelites into captivity. We are told in Isaiah that the ships of
Tarshish would be the first to bring the Israelites to the Holy Land during the
future second Exodus (Isaiah 60:9). Why
first? Because she would have repented
of her evil toward the House of Israel when she would have taken Israel into
captivity. We are being warned regularly by secular prophets in the media.[123] One such 'prophet' who has attempted to warn
the Anglo-Saxon powers is Daniel Burstein, author of the tremendous book Yen!
The Threat of Japan's Financial Empire which I thorougly recommend to the
reader.
Will history
repeat itself once again? Will Japan return "back to the future"?
Will the Japanese take over the lead of certain Asian nations in the event of
America withdrawing from the region and leaving behind a political and military
vacuum? And will Japan then form a new Axis with German-led United Europe? Only
time can tell. We now know with certainty that in World War Two their plans
were to extend their empire through India to Iran; to Madagascar[124] off the
shores of Africa; the whole of Australia (with the exception of Tasmania which
they were to leave for German settlement); and the western sea-board of Canada,
the United States and Mexico.[125]
In February
1941, Japans's expansionist policy was publicly elaborated upon by her Foreign
Minister, Matsuoka, who stated that "the white race must cede Oceania to
the Asiatics" (ie Japan). The following year, 1942, a top Japanese
military spokesman revealed that they would eventually claim the divine right
to control the entire world :
"We will
carry the war to London and Washington, and we will destroy all traces of
European culture, and we will make our Nipponese spirit dominate the
world".[126]
Most people
today are unaware that the Japanese had their own Mein Kampf in World War Two.
It was known as the Tanaka Memorial. This work revealed that a terrible
plan had been developed for almost four hundred years. It emerged from a
document dated 18th of May 1592. Japan's great hero, Hideyoshi, set forth in
this document a plan for world domination and for establishing the Mikado Plan
to rule the world!
On 25th July
1941, Baron Tanaka, Premier, presented the Tanaka Memorial as a blueprint for
world empire under the Mikado which led to the attack on Pearl Harbour. In
fact, it was their religious belief that the Mikado is directly descended from
the Mother of Heaven. As he was thus the Son of Heaven, the Emperor had to be
world emperor and worshipped as very God! (cp II Thessalonians 2:1-5)
In the book
of Psalms, David wrote that God "breakest the ships of Tarshish with an
east wind" (Psalms 48:7). This
prophecy indicates two things: firstly that Tarshish is the eastern branch
spoken of: and secondly, they are a great maritime nation which Spain is NOT
today. But the Good News is Japan will
repent. God says that during the millenial reign of the Messiah that He will
send His saints,
Those that
escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish and Javan, to the isles afar
off [not Spain which is relatively nearby Palestine], that have not heard
My fame, neither have seen My glory; and
they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles (Isaiah
66:19).
This prophecy
cannot refer to the Spaniards, for most of them have heard at least something
about the God of the Bible. Not so the
bulk of the Japanese.
Finally,
Isaiah prophesied of the "isles" and the ships of Tarshish, during
the Millenium, returning to Israel her wealth and taking the Israelites on
their ships to Palestine (Isaiah 60:9).
Diodorus Siculus, a most reliable historian of the Augustine Age, says
that the term "isles" here refers to lands which at that time were
undiscovered, unlike Spain which was well known.
Japan's and
Spain's repentant attitudes show through clearly in chapter thirty-eight of
Ezekiel. In this prophecy, Gog and Magog will attempt to wrest this wealth from
Israel, but Tarshish will challenge them and take Israel's side (Ezekiel 38:11,
13). In the words of the Psalmist again:
The kings of
Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents to God. Yea, all kings shall
fall down before Him: All Nations shall serve Him (Psalms 72:10-11).
Japan will
repent and learn to serve God!
