BRITISH ISRAELITES

BRITISH ISRAELITES
   a form of FUNDAMENTALISM originating in the eighteenth century which claimed that the English people were the descendants of the ten "Lost Tribes" of ISRAEL and therefore heirs to all the Biblical promises made in the BIBLE to the JEWISH people. Today the most common form of this BELIEF is to be found in its Americanized version preached by Herbert W. ARMSTRONG and the WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD.
