"Glover...suggested that Eochaid, the Celtic King who welcomed Jeremiah and married the daughter of Zedekiah was...a descendant of the tribe of Dan and the progenitor of northern Protestants." - Chosen peoples: The Bible, race and empire in the long (2020)
"In the very earliest iterations of British-Israelism, three sites were identified as sacred to British-Israelists: Glastonbury, Westminster Abbey and the Hill of Tara...identified as the seat of great dynasties which went back into the dim past of Irish history...origins of this story can be found in F.R.A. Glover's 1861 text entitled England the Remnant of Judah." - Israelism in Modern Britain (2020)
"Reverend Glover used a collection of curious facts, and a process of ingenious and plausible reasoning to prove that England has in her Royal Family the stem of Jesse, and the fostered remnant of Judah." - The Special Relationship Between the United Kingdom of Great Britain (2016)
Are the lost ten tribes of Israel to be discovered in Great Britain and are British Monarchs the lineal descendants of King David?
Frederick Robert Augustus Glover (1800-1881) has surprising answers based on amazing evidence in his 1881 book "England, the Remnant of Judah and the Israel of Ephraim: The Two Families Under One Head; a Hebrew Episode in British History." It is this public domain book that has been republished here for the convenience of the interested reader.
In introducing his book, Glover writes:
"THE INTENT of these pages is to PROVE,
"FIRST, that as, England is, in God's providence in possession of a Certain Stone, called JACOB'S PILLOW, which is the Seat of the Coronation Throne of the Empire, cherished and protected by her, in a very special manner, as her Chiefest National Muniment; so also, if it be the case that the Stone be Jacob's Pillow,
"SECONDLY, there must have been THE SEED ROYAL OF JUDAH to sit upon it, as certainly, if not as manifestly as,
"It has, THIRDLY, THE STANDARD OF JUDAH to wave above it: and, herein, that she, England, is entitled to be considered "The Remnant of Judah."
In 1881, Church of England pastor Frederick R.A. Glover (1800-1881), an accomplished scholar and a diligent antiquarian wrote 'England: The Remnant of Judah and the Israel of Ephraim' where he attempted to trace the line thought the daughter of the last of the kings of Judah into the British Isles. Her name according to various legends was Tea Tephi. He discusses the spectre of Judah, and ties that in with "the Sceptre of Queen Victoria" and Throne of David. Glover predicted that the United States might be clearly the promised 'Empire of Manasseh'. Upon his query, Queen Victoria in a most gracious letter informed Glover that she was already in possession of the facts of which he had spoken concerning her ancestral line, which gave him great encouragement in his work.
