Excerpt from Does the Word of God Warrant Anglo-Israel Teaching?

Dealing as mercifully as we can with one who professes the Christian faith, and taking this as a plain statement of how the anglo-israel theory arose in his mind, we are forced to the conclusion that it is one of the modern doctrines of demons, and that Edward Hine was Obsessed by an evil spirit which led him into such absurdities, inconsistencies, and almost incoherencies, that are too numerous to mention, and too absurd to need an answer. As we read further on in his book we come across most foolish, blasphemous, and idola trous statements, culminating in the conclusions that, first, because the ancestors of our sovereigns, who are termed by Edward Hine the Royal race of David, were not in Jeru salem at the time of the death of our Lord Jesus Christ, we British people are emancipated from the sin of crucifying christ (page 296) second, that the late Queen Victoria was the root (1) of David and the ensign god set up for the nations (isa. Xi. Io - pages 2 51, and third, the so-called most lzw stone (the writer's own italics), viz., the Bethel of Jacob (gen. Xxviii. The present Coronation stone, in Westminster Abbey, was the chief corner-stone of the Temple in Jerusalem, is the Signet-ring to the Almighty, and was brought from Palestine to Ireland by the prophet Jeremiah.

It is well to remember that the whole anglo-israel theory stands, or falls together, and though there are many other view points and ideas found in other writers and supporters, they all appear to rest upon the travesty of historical facts and the twisting of words of Holy Scripture.
