of this higbest branch represent the children of King Zed–
ekiab! Certainly a tender young twig, then, represents a
DAUIJHTER!" ... and will PLANT it." Could symbolic lan–
guage say plainer this young Jewish princess is to become
the royal seed for PLANTING again of David's throne?
Where? " ... upon an high mountain and eminent," says
the Eterna!! A "mountain" in symbol always represents a
NATION.
But Which Nation?
" In tbe mountain of the height of ISRAEL will 1 plant it,"
answers the Eterna!! David's throne now is to be planted
in ISRAEL, after being thrown down from JUDAH! Could
language be plainer? " ... and it [the tender young
twig-the king's daughterJ. shall bring forth boughs, and
bear fruit , and be a goodly cedar."
Did David's throne cease with Zedekiah of J udah? Did
God forget His covenant? No! Compare this language
with the passage
in
Isaiah 37:31-32: "The remnant that is
escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root down–
ward (be planted) , and BEAR FRUIT UPWARD."
lt
was
PLANTEO in ISRAEL, who removed from Judah! After this
Hebrew princess is "planted" on the throne, now in
ISRAEL, lost from view- that throne is to BEAR FRUI.T. She
is to marry, have children, and her sons are to continue
David's dynasty!
" ... and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in
the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell"
(Ezek. 17:23). "Lost" Israel, now having acquired the
throne and become again a self-ruling nation, shall, in
time, spread around the earth gaining dominance and
power. They shall inherit the unconditional promises of
the BIRTHRIGHT, according to God's covenant with Abra–
ham!
"And all the trees of the field ... " (verse 24). A "tree"
in this riddle and parable is likened toa nation. In other
words, "all the nations of the earth." " ... shall know tha t
1 the Lord have brought down the high tree." Judah, the
high tree, having the throne 130 years after Israel had
been taken captive, now is brought down to the low stature
of slavery. " ... have exalted the low tree." .For 130 years
Israel had been a "low tree." Now Israel is exalted, be–
comes again a thriving nation with a Davidic king.
" ... have dried up the green tree [Judah] and have made
the dry tree [Israel ] to flourish."
Compare that language with Ezekiel 21:26: " Remove
the diadem, and take off the crown ... exalt him that is
low, and abase him that is high. 1 will overturn ... " etc.

is speaking of transferring the throne from Judah to
Israel.
Israel had already been independent in Ireland for four
centuries. Israel in lreland a lready had a kingly line onto
which Zedekiah's daughter was grafted. The Irish lsrael–
ites were an ancient colony and had not gone into Assyrian
captivity.
ISRAEL, headed by the tribes of Ephraim and Manas-

seh, who possessed the birthright, now would flourish, be–
come prosperous in due time. " l the Lord have spoken and
have done it" (Ezek. 17:24).
Yes, that BIRTHRIGHT is in ISRAEL. Though
/ost,
though
supposed to be a Gentile nation, they are the people who
were to grow into the promised multitude-the great na–
tion and the company of nations, possessing the gates of
their enemy nations, becoming a colonizing people spread–
ing around the world, being blessed with national re–
sources and wealth. And, when they become thus powerful
and nationally dominant, remember, David's throne will
be found transplanted among them!
But where did Jeremiah, with his royal seed for the
transplanting, go to find the lost house of Israel? Where
are they today? How was the "breach" healed, and how
did a son of Zarah ascend the throne? Can we tell?
We CAN! Tbe exact, precise location is revealed in Bible
