"Those of you who have read Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright, by J.H. Allen know that Britain's royal family must be descended from the tribe of Judah...all 12 tribes of Israel of course are right here in the United States today." -Baxter Bulletin, Aug. 6, 1981

What happened to the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel after they were taken into captivity? John Harden Allen (1847 - May 14, 1930) provides some surprising answers, with often-bewildering historical evidence to back up his claims, in his 1902 book titled "Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright."

In Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright, J.H. Allen has shown conclusively that Ephraim and Manasseh, the two half Egyptian sons of Joseph were the joint inheritors of the national birthright of the Abrahamic covenant promises pertaining to the promised "many nations," since Joseph their father, after the deflection of Reuben, as the first-born of Jacob and Rachel was the legal heir to the birthright, as was stated in the words, "The birthright was Joseph's."

He has shown too, how Great Britain and the now great nation which came out of her the United States of America, are Ephraim and Manasseh and it has also been seen that the flying eagle, was one of the latter day ensigns of reassembled Israel.

According to Allen, it is no possible contortion of the prophecy to say that the land shadowed with wings, over the sea, beyond the continent of Africa (called in Biblical history and prophecy Ethiopia) sending ambassadors by the sea, is the land of Manasseh the holder of the family birthright of Joseph, the brother to feed those in the old country and in the homeland as the U.S.A. is doing now, even feeding his brethren in Israel. But they, like Joseph, do not know that he is their brother. In fact, both houses are blind to this truth.

A review in the Baptist Messenger reported:

"This is one of the most interesting volumes we have read in many a day and we confess that the arguments produced by Mr. Allen seem to be unanswerable. It is more thrilling than Western fiction."
