Israel in Britain: A Brief Statement of the Evidences in Proof of the Israelitish Origin of the British Race. E-book. Formato PDF John Garnier - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
There are other prophecies which necessitate the existence'of a great Israelitish Power at the present day, viz., those which foretell Israel's remarkable war like prowess 1n the last days. The prophecy of Balaam clearly refers to the period of Israel's great colonial expansion when his seed shall be in many waters, and the conquests of Israel are distinctly stated by Balaam to take place in the latter days. The prophecy says, Behold, the people shall rise, up as a great lion, and lift himself up as a young lion he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey and drink the blood of the slain.

The Worship of the Dead: Or the Origin and Nature of Pagan Idolatry and Its Bearing Upon the Early History of Egypt and Babylonia. E-book. Formato PDF J. Garnier - Forgotten Books, 2017 -

In the present work the author has endeavoured to supply this want, and, while availing himself of the researches of previous writers, has endeavoured to compress into a moderate compass and readable form, the facts and archaeological discoveries which show the relation of the gods and religious systems of various nations to each other, and to point out the significance and interpretation of the ancient traditions and mythological stories, and their bearing on the events of actual history.
