Is British Israelism true, that America and Britain are the lost tribes receiving the promises?
British Israelism is false; the covenant promises belong to the nation of Israel, not to America, Britain, or Scandinavian nations as offspring of the ten lost tribes. European ancestors were as lost as could be, but the promises remain with Israel. God's salvation extends to all, yet the promises are not reassigned.
Les teaches that British Israelism is far out in left field. It claims America, Great Britain, and some Scandinavian nations are now the recipients of the promises because they are the offspring of the ten lost tribes. Les responds, 'Don't you believe it!' He explains that our European ancestors were as lost as they could be, and they still are, but the covenant promises belong to the nation of Israel. He also notes that God's offer of salvation goes to Arab and Jew alike, yet the covenant promises remain with Israel. The context points to Deuteronomy 30:1, where God prophesies Israel's dispersal among the nations, confirming that the promises are not transferred to other nations.
