This is a compilation of notes and sources to the doctrine of Holy Bloodlines recently discussed on a podcast I recorded with Julie Rowe.
Royal Bloodlines
Doctrinal / Scriptural foundation for Bloodlines – Allegory of the Olive Tree, Jacob 5 (One of the most spiritually significant chapters in scripture, and one that tends to get skipped)
- Young tender branches, nethermost parts: Jacob 5:8, 13, 14, 20-22, 39, 43-44 (directly fulfilled by Nephites and Jaredites, and others)
- And behold, saith the Lord of the vineyard, I take away many of these young and tender branches, and I will graft them whithersoever I will; and it mattereth not that if it so be that the root of this tree will perish, I may preserve the fruit thereof unto myself; wherefore, I will take these young and tender branches, and I will graft them whithersoever I will.
Zedekiah – Jeremiah 52
- King Priest Prophet (King through royal Davidic line, House of Judah), Hilkiah was High Priest; Prophets were Jeremiah, Lehi, Hulda, Ezekiel, later came Daniel in Babylon).
- Two children preserved
- Mulek – Mosiah 25:2; Helaman 6:10
- Tamar – Hansen, Vaughn; Israels Lost Ten Tribes pg 89; M.H. Milner. The Royal House of Britain: An Enduring Dynasty (Rochester, Kent: Stanhope Press [Staples Printers Ltd.]), 1975.; Jeremiah, Ireland, the Stone of Scone, and the English Kings … Tamar Tephi: or The Maid of Destiny, by John Dunham-Massey, 1918, and J. J. Pearson, 1924. London. (https://www.originofnations.org/old_bi_literature/tea_tephi/tea2.html)
- The Fall of Israel was foretold: Isaiah 1:7-9, Hosea 9:17, Joel 1:6-7, Ezek. 12:10-13
- Evil governor appointed by Nebuchadnezzar carries them away to Egypt. Jeremiah and his g-granddaughter princesses and his friend Baruch flee through the Mediterranean and arrive at the Iberian Peninsula now known as Spain, to the city of Sagunto, and then to Zaragossa.
- There, they are well cared for by royalty in fulfillment of the Lords promise to Jeremiah in Jer. 15:11 that “it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction”.
- The younger princess marries the oldest Prince of the Zarahites, thus infusing royal Davidic/Israelite blood into Spain
- The Scepter shall not depart from Judah until Shiloh come Gen. 49:20
- Ollam Fodhla readily gave his consent to the marriage of his young Charge with King Eochaidh, the Ardagh or Head King, and Tamar or Tea Tephi became in due course the Queen Consort of Ireland. The rough, square Stone, brought with the Princess, playing an important part in the marriage ceremony, for the royal couple were united before this “Stone of Destiny” as a silent witness of their solemn union (Gen. 49:24; Josh. 24:27; I Sam. 7:12); and they were subsequently crowned upon it, with the newly-made Queen’s Golden Banner waving over them. For an account of this famous Lia Fail, or “Stone of Destiny,” and Golden Banner, see Note 9 in Appendix.
Britain
It seems as though the Lord has always had a place of safety prepared for those who follow Him. Britain was one of those places early on, in addition to America.
Royal Davidic / AND Holy Bloodline preserved through Mary Magdalene and Jesus’ children. Joseph of Arimathea and other Jews carried the blood of Judah to Britain and their children married in with kings and Queens. Fascinating that the symbol of the tribe of Judah is find on the royal Crest next to Joseph’s symbol.
The so-called Mythical stories of Merlin and Arthur are real. They both had miraculous births, linking them both to Royal Israelite and divine bloodlines.
St. Patrick; St. Nicholas; other Knights of the Round-table are descended from Joseph of Arimathea, a Jew, and other royal Davidic and Divine bloodlines of Christ and Mary.
LDS Pioneers in 1800’s are descendants of these lines.
Asia
Julie’s story of China.
Tang and early Sung Dynasty, reached its height in 618 ad 906 AD. A priest (Alobwen?) found a sealed room like a library in the early 1900’s in north western China in a town called Dun Huang along the Silk Road. Stacks and scrolls, paintings, art. Scrolls spoke of the jade faced one. Christian books, written in Chinese. They called them the Jesus Sutras. (The root word for Sutra is “Sutre”, which means “Thread”). Showed how Jesus’ teachings meshed well with Eastern religions. Jesus mentioned in the 2nd sutra was referred to as “The visitor” to the Buddha. He offered himself as the Savior, and a way out of escaping the effects of Karma and rebirth. (Glenn Kimball; Chinese Library Cave: Ancient Christian Text Discovery, June 2007).
India – Kranganor, St. Thomas proselytized there. Earliest christian church next to Glastonbury where Mary Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea settled. Persian Christians read the Teachings of the Apostles, written and compiled by Tersian.
Japanese village (Herai-mura) according to legend was settled by Israelites. Contains shrines and relics of a Hebrew nature to this day.
Philippines – The record Ang Aklatan is the Philippine equivalent of the Book of Mormon. It’s a truly beautiful record.
America Nephites / Lamanites – Book of Mormon, but also the Mentinah Records who are considered the People of Haggoth. These records begin at the time of Samuel the Lamanite in the Book of Mormon, who is also the first author. Beautiful records!
