Chapter Twelve - The Prophet Jeremiah’s Mysterious Royal Commission

Book: America & Britain

Previous | Next | Directory

Who, then, is the “tender one” of Ezekiel’s riddle? The answer, in part, lies with a mysterious commission given to the prophet Jeremiah. In the opening verses of the book that bears his name, we read that Jeremiah was to be used by God in a peculiar way: “See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down”—all negative terms, to be sure. But he was also “to build, and to plant” (Jer. 1:10; compare 18:9; 24:6; 31:28; 32:41; 42:10). Recall that God said He Himself would plant a “tender one.” Would He use Jeremiah to accomplish this “planting”?

Commentaries are at a loss to explain just how or when Jeremiah did this pulling down and building or planting. They simplistically link this aspect of his role to “prophetic pronouncements” concerning the rise or fall of nations. While this may be applicable, certainly more is implied. As the passages listed above show, God did indeed “pluck up” and “plant” nations or peoples. But what was Jeremiah’s role in this regard?

Shortly after the fall of Jerusalem and Zedekiah’s death, we find that Jeremiah was released from prison and dwelled among a small remnant still in the land of Judea (Jer. 39:14; 40:6). The group was under the appointed governorship of Gedaliah, who was subsequently murdered by a fellow military leader named Ishmael (Jer. 41:2). Ishmael apparently rejected the political arrangement. In verse 10 we read that Ishmael and his band took the entire remnant as prisoners. Notice who is particularly mentioned as being among the group: “Then Ishmael took captive all the rest of the people … even the king’s daughters”—Zedekiah’s daughters!

According to the account, a Jewish military captain named Johanan rescued the captives. But fearing retaliation from the Babylonians for the murder of Gedaliah, Johanan set out with the remnant for Egypt (Jer. 41:11-18). This was in direct violation of God’s instructions through Jeremiah to stay in the land and not fear the Babylonians (Jer. 42). Apparently, Johanan took the group by force into Egypt. “But Johanan … took all the remnant of Judah … men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters … and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch…. So they came into the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the voice of the LORD. So they came to Tahpanhes” (Jer. 43:5-7). Note that this was Johanan’s disobedience, not Jeremiah’s.

Thus, Jeremiah, along with his faithful scribe Baruch (Jer. 36; etc.), accompanied the kings daughters into Egypt. Zedekiah was only 32 when he was taken to Babylon (II Chron. 36:11), so his daughters would have been relatively young, certainly in their early teens. History records their names as Scota and Tamar Tephi. Jeremiah was no doubt acting as guardian for the young princesses.

Remember, Jechoniah’s line had been fully disqualified from ever inheriting the Davidic throne, and Zedekiah’s sons had all been killed. The term “tender one”—as used in Ezekiel’s riddle—certainly implies a young female. Could one of Zedekiah’s daughters be used to perpetuate the throne? Would this be at all legal?

According to Hebrew law, a man could pass the family inheritance on to a daughter if he had no son (Num. 27:8). Certainly this would apply even to the throne. Athaliah, wife of King Jehoram of Judah, took the throne by treachery; nevertheless, her brief reign was not challenged because she was female (II Kings 11:1-3). The promise in Jeremiah 33:17—that David would never lack a man to sit on his throne—must not be taken to exclude women. While the Hebrew word ish is used throughout the Old Testament to designate a male, the term is used frequently of humans in general (Job 14:12; 15:16; 34:21; Psa. 39:11; 78:25; etc.). Moreover, the legitimacy of the maternal line is clearly upheld in the fact that Jesus’ only blood link back to David is through his mother, Mary.

It appears that Nebuchadnezzar’s desire was to destroy the dynasty established under Solomon and permanently end the succession of Jewish kings. But the Babylonian king may have been completely unaware of Zedekiah’s daughters; at the very least, he was apparently unfamiliar with Hebrew law—specifically that a princess could inherit the throne if there were no male heirs. There was, however, one stipulation: the heiress had to marry within the royal tribe, the tribe of Judah, if she was to retain the inheritance (see Numbers 36:6-7 for the precedent). Thus, Zedekiah’s daughters had every right to the throne of their father—as long as they married someone from the tribe of Judah.

The story of Jeremiah and Zedekiah’s daughters ends with them still in Egypt—at least as far as the Bible goes. We are left to speculate—based on historical accounts, the prophecies of Ezekiel, the promises concerning David’s throne, and the “mysterious commission” given to Jeremiah—as to what happened next.

Why does Scripture—in light of the demise of Jerusalem and the nation of Judah, the temple, and (apparently) the Davidic throne— mention twice that Zedekiah’s daughters had survived? And why were they apparently under the guardianship of Jeremiah the prophet? What was Jeremiah to do with the king’s daughters? Was one of Zedekiah’s young daughters the “tender one” of Ezekiel, taken from the “tall cedar”—the royal dynasty established under Solomon—and planted by Jeremiah in another land? Would she ultimately marry into a long-established Jewish ruling line, thus preserving the throne of David so that it could continue to rule over some part of the seed of Abraham?

The overriding point to keep in mind is that God’s promises never fail. He has promised that David’s throne would remain active throughout all generations; thus, as that throne was ejected from the land of Judah, it must have been reestablished in a land where descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were well settled.
Davidic Throne Planted in Ireland

From a biblical perspective, the story of Jeremiah, Baruch and the king’s daughters ends on a positive note. God had previously warned the Judaic remnant against going to Egypt. Later, He explicitly declared that the entire group would ultimately die in Egypt—“except those who escape” (Jer. 44:12-14). Obviously, Jeremiah and his party were not in rebellion against God; thus, there is no doubt that they escaped God’s final judgment on the Jewish remnant. Verse 28 indicates that a small number of them did, in fact, escape Egypt and return to Palestine.

But as we will see, Jeremiah’s “mysterious commission” was to take him and his royal party elsewhere, for he was to plant one of Zedekiah’s daughters in a land already well populated by Israelites—the British Isles!

As you will recall from Chapter 9, Danite and Phoenician traders had explored and colonized the Isles back in the time of Solomon. In fact, it is probable that Danites had already settled the Isles back in the time of Israel’s Judges, as the tribe is criticized by Deborah—who governed Israel some 200 years before David—for being “away at sea” during a protracted local conflict (Judges 5:17). Later, just prior to the fall of Samaria in about 722 BC, many more Danites—and Israelites from other tribes—set out by sea to avoid the Assyrian captivity. Naturally, they would have settled in areas already dominated by Israelites—the Iberian Peninsula and the British Isles.

Some of the earliest Danite settlements in the Isles were in Ireland. As these colonies became more developed, ruling clans of Danite kings arose. Eventually, however, these kings were superseded in Ireland by a Milesian line of kings made up of royalty from the Jewish line of Zarah (I Chron. 2:4, 6). As will be brought out below, this royal line developed when Danite and Judah-Zarahite refugees settled parts of ancient Greece prior to Israel’s enslavement while in Egypt. This Milesian line eventually made its way to Ireland. Jeremiah’s mission was to join the Davidic throne to the “Irish” throne through the marriage of Tephi, Zedekiah’s daughter, to an heir of the Milesian line—a prince named Eochaidh. This is how Jeremiah was to plant a “tender one” in what would eventually become a “high mountain”—the Israelite birthright kingdom of Great Britain.

From this point we must look to the historical writings of ancient Ireland, which reveal that Jeremiah did indeed travel, via Spain (Iberia), to the Isles with his scribe, Baruch, and a certain princess Tephi. While the following account is summarized from authenticated histories rather than mere legends, it is important to realize that, as with any ancient narrative, a certain amount of contradiction is to be expected.

The Irish are known for their dedication to recording their national history, which has been illustratively handed down in songs, poems, tales and legends. As such, Irish historical figures have often been endowed with almost magical powers, and actual events have at times been obscured by embellishment as they were told and retold by Celtic bards. As the Isles entered the Christian era, Irish history was first written down by monks, who compiled the stories into rare manuscripts. But adding their own “spin” to the tales, these clerics often made the accounts more confusing. Still, experts in Irish history have been able to establish certain common story lines among the hundreds of ancient legends.1

As concerns Jeremiah and princess Tephi, their arrival in the Isles is well documented in the annals of Irish history; however, the accounts differ, sometimes widely. Archeologist E. Raymond Capt has concisely described Jeremiah’s “planting” of the Davidic throne in Ireland. According to Capt, Irish records tell of a particular ship of the “Iberian Danaan” coming to Ireland in about the year 583 BC—a mere three years after the fall of Jerusalem (this date varies somewhat in other accounts). The ship was of Danaan origin, meaning it was linked to a particular group of Danites who had earlier settled in Greece. It came to Ireland by way of Iberia—Spain. As the ship approached the northeast coast of Ireland, it ran aground near the area known today as Carrickfergus. Though the stories vary, it is clear as to the ship’s passengers: an aged Hebrew patriarch called Ollam Fodhla, his attendant named Brach (or Breack, Barech, Berach, as it is variously spelled in the legends), and “an eastern king’s daughter” called Tephi.2

Irish tradition asserts that Ollam Fodhla was the prophet Jeremiah (appropriately, the name means honored prophet). Baruch, his scribe, can clearly be identified from the variations of his name listed above. The royal princess Tephi is identified in the archives as the daughter and heiress of King Zedekiah; her sister, Scota, is said to have remained behind in Spain (Jeremiah and his party apparently spent several months in Iberia). As John Fox writes in his classic book The World’s Greatest Throne, the various records include “an account of the marriage between the royal princess and Eochaidh the Heremon, or King of Ireland, giving the princess’ name as Tamar Tephi….” Heremon means chief and was a title used of kings. Eochaidh is traced in early Irish records as having descended from the patriarch Judah, through the Zarah line.3

In his Lost Tribes of Israel Study Maps, researcher Daniel Walsh relates information taken from the 1886 work The Book of Tephi. J. A. Goodchild wrote the book—which takes the form of a 3,000-line poem— after spending years studying Irish legends. “The poem records the journey of Tea Tephi, Jeremiah and Baruch from the House of Judah to the ‘Isles of the West.’ The Isles are known as a home for the remnant from the tribe of Dan. The group left Tahpanhes and the Nile Delta aboard a [Hebrew] ship from Tarshish [Iberia]. The ship’s pilot was a Danite.”4

Based on Goodchild’s poem, Walsh goes on to outline the journey: from Egypt the Danite ship stopped at Carthage, then Rome; the group then sailed to southern Iberia (Carteia, in the area of Gibraltar) where they stayed about five months; from there they made a brief stop at Tarshish (Tartessus) before going on to Cornwall, in southern England. A few weeks later, the party made the short trip up the coast to eastern Ireland. Irish chieftains convened soon afterwards to confirm Eochaidh as Ard-Righ—High King of Ireland. Princess Tephi was also confirmed as Queen and a royal marriage was soon arranged. The poem also brings out that Eochaidh’s coronation was conducted over a unique stone brought to Ireland by Jeremiah—called Lia Fail (“Wonderful Stone”) by the Irish. This stone is apparently “Jacob’s pillar” from Scripture, and has been utilized in the coronation of all the kings of Ireland, Scotland, and England who are traced back to Eochaidh (see Appendix 5).

Concerning Eochaidh, Walsh writes: “One of Ireland’s rulers was a man named Eochaidh Heremon. Eochaidh is Irish for the Greek name Achaios, and the term Heremon is a title meaning Chief of the Landsmen, a king. He was a Milesian living among the Tuatha de Danann…. His genealogy traces back to Chalcol [I Chron. 2:6; I Kings 4:31], the Zarahite founder of Athens, who is said to have planted a royal dynasty in Ulster [Northern Ireland].” 5

Thus Tephi, heiress to the Davidic throne, married into an existing Jewish royal line which had been ruling for some time over Israelites settled in Ireland. As the newly crowned Queen of Ireland, Tephi brought the very authority of the throne of David to Eochaidh’s reign. According to tradition, Eochaidh’s coronation took place in about 580 BC—six years after the fall of Jerusalem. Ultimately, through their offspring, the “tender twig” would become a “majestic cedar” (Ezek. 17:22-23)—a new royal dynasty in its own right—through which the Davidic throne would be perpetuated. Thus, in keeping with God’s sure promises, David’s throne has remained active— ruling over Israel in all generations.
